LIVELY ACTION
DUE in OIL FIELD.

MANNINGToN, Sept. GA report
from Pittsburg is to the effect that
among the larger oil producers there
is little Of the traditional boom en-
thusiasm, the marked betterment of
the oil market being accepted by them
as quite logical in the face Of conol-
tons which have been developing
for a considerable time. Since FRI
day there has been a slight increase
in activity in the oil fields but a spec
tacnlar rush of ~wild-catters and small
operators to the productive districts
has not ma~terialized. To be sure
sufficient time has not as yet elapsed
for the maturing of an oil boom, but
! n event of a further advance this
week lively action may take place in
the oil fields.
The oil men recall the fact that Tor
some time the supply Of high grade
Oil stock has not easily satisfied the
demand, and that two weeks ago a
little advance gave Indication that
higher prices were approaching. The
oil supply Offices yield an optimistic
opinion that the higher rates will be
sustained until the spring, and that
there will be a gradual increase in
the demand for oil well materials and
machinery. There seems to be a
sentiment common to all oil men that
the advance has come a trile too late
in the season.

General Horace Porter. former United
States Ambassador to France, left
for New York to-day. General Por.
ter has been a guest at the home OF
Mrs. ]. West Roosevelt for several
days and yesterday afternoon paid
President Roosevelt a social call.
"My visit was purely a social one.
said General Porter. and nothing of
public interest was taken up, 1 do
not regard the Moroccan situation as
at all alarming. and think that foreign
AFFAIRS generally as far as the United
States is concerned are In a very,
satisfactory condition.
81 am glad to see that President
Roosevelt is able to take such, q good.
vacation every year. It puts him In.
fine shape physically for the exciting
duties of his Office at Washington.
What particularly pleases me in this
connection. is the fact that l was the
private secretary of General Grant
when he inaugurated the idea.
He was the first President to leave
Washington for a summer vacation
and in starting the custom. he brought
down a storm of criticism upon his
head. His critics loudly cried that he
wasndeserting his post. false to his
trust, and all that sort of buncombe.
He went to Long Branch every sum
'mer. Since his day the Presidents
have taken summer vacation trips
and have all been the better for doing
So"

COUNCILMAN ROBINSON
ASKED INVESTIGATION
Continued From First Paae.l

no charge for the council to investl.
gate till some one appeared and made
a charge.
Councilman Howard moved to
amend Mr.. Robinson's motion, to
summon Mr.. Thomas before the coun.
Gil.
Mr.. DeBolt asked what they were
going to do if he didn't come.
Mr.. Howard said that the matter
could be dropped.
Mr.. DeBolt spoke at some length
concerning the matter. He asserted
that this so-calIed "charger was moth
ing but gossip. and that II the council
went to investigating things of that
kind they would have to meet every
night and do nothing else but inves.
.tigate. He moved that the motion as
amended be laid on the table.
The council SO voted and on II,
table is where the motion will prob.
ably lie till it dies OF neglect.
Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Friedman were
both interviewed by a West Virginian
reporter this morning. Mr.. Thomas
said that he had repeated a remark
made to him by "Joe" Beradelli and
added to It the remark that he
wouldn't be surprised If there was
something in 1t. Berardelli had told
him that Jim Mosserman, Friedman's
bartender. had told him that Fried.
man had given Robinson a check for
$500 to get him a license. Mr.. Thorn.
as said that he didn't see what Rob.
inson wanted with the smohey, but It
certainly did seem funny that Berar.
deli, Who had been a taxpayer here
for years, couldn't get a license, while
Friedman, a perfect stranger. walked
in and did get Sone.sSasasse-.
Mr.. Thomas said that he had had
an argument with Mr. Robinson when
the lattel first went on the council as
to whether he shenld get all OF tho
coal he delivered in town from the
Robinson coal pockets. on the East
Side. Since his telling Mr.. Robinson
that he should continue to divide his
trade between the Robinson mine and
the Levelle mine, Mr.. Robinson had
felt hard about II. perhaps had "had
1t in for him" However, Mr.. Thorn.
as said he thought Mi. Robinson
should have come to him about the
matter first.
MI. Friedman was very emphatic
in his denial of the charge and offer
to make affidavit to the legitimacy
of every feature of his transaction
with the council. He also offered TO
give the banks permission to disclose
all his transactions by check, and Of
fered to put up another $500 to be
given to the man who should prove
that he gave Robinson $500 for the
purpose charged. He said Jim Mos.
serman was a bartender he had dis
charged soon after buying the Madison
street place, for knocking down"
from the till. Still, Mr.. Friedman
said he did not believe Mosserman
ever told Berardelli anything of the
sort. Berardelli OF course was Sore
not getting his license.
Several people have said that "sev
eral people" saw Mosserman show the
Friedman check stub but the only
name of anybody the reporter could
get any one of the several people to
say was among the several people"
was" Joe Berardeili."
