KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 3O.-Sev-
eral oil producers from Indian Terri
tory and Kansas met here today to
discuss the question of a market for
their product. j. ]. Curl of Bartles
Vile, l. r., said before going to the
conference:
I'VE want a market. We are up
against it to get rid of our product.
Either the Standard will take our oil or
we must provide more tankage. That
Will take time. We want to talk over
the situation and decide some way out
of the dilemma"
H. L. Woods of the Oil City Derrick,
who is in the city, said
II understand that as the Standard
has ordered work stopped in Missouri
on its Whiting pipe line the producers
see their chance of a market slipping
away from them. Agitation against
the Standard in Missouri is hurting the
oil business in the territory and Kan
sas. / think the producers will send a
committee to Governor Folk and At
torney General Hadley to ascertain If
possible what are the prospects of a
cessation of hostilities."

By Associated Press.

| NEW YORK, Jan. 3O-Representa-
tive Duncan B. McKinlay of California
who is leading the fight of the Pacific
slope to have the provisions of the
| Chinese exclusion act extended so as tc
include the Japanese and Koreans
stopped over in New York yesterday to
point of view. He spent the day al
Ellis Island as the guest of Commits
sioner Robert Watchorn.
80 far as the European, or white
races are concerned" Mr.. McKinlay
said, there is no immigration problem.
This country is the better for every
white man, strong and willing to work,
who seeks shelter here. 1t is only in
dealing with the Asiatic races that the
bars should be put up and kept up.
There should be no discrimination be-
tween the Japanese and the Chinese.
They are both cut out of the same
cloth-they both come to exploit the
country for their own gain, under
selling the labor market, living on
twenty cents a day and sending their
earnings to their native land every
month.
There are probably $4,000 japanese
already in this country and they are
pouring in at the rate of 600 a month
Personally, l do not believe that the
extension of the provisions of the
Chinese exclusion act to include the
Japanese would offend the government
of that country in the least. When |
was in Japan with the Taft party,
had an extended talk with Marquis Ito
and he told me that the Japanese
government was anxious to keep its
people at home"

Declares We Are Spending What Has

yesterday. 1T is all very well to talk
about our great prosperity, but we are
spending what has been earned, not
what we are earning now. We are
using up our capital and have become
an extraVagant nation"
Mr.. Hill would not admit that the
country was tending toward overpro-
duction because, as he said If he did
people would call him a croaker
The consular and other reports
show" he said, that Japan is sending
US more than We are sending to Japan,
and 1t behooves us to be watchful for
position among the commercial ma
tions.
During the last few years things
have been so stirred up on account of
the Boer and Russo-Japanese wars
that. with the existing close relation
among the nations, 1t has been difficult
to get true perspective in commercial
and industrial matters. But now we
can look around and appreciate our
true position. Look at Great Britain,
with a million men out of work. Great
Britain is a country with a balance of
trade against it, and we should take
warning. There are not many more
new continents or lands to open up
Mr.. Hill was asked about his connec-
ton with "Fads and Fancies,'' which
he was said TO have subscribed to, and
said he believed he reeei.ted sorne such
book and had sent 1t to a historical
society.
Mr.. Hill denied that the Burlington
had acquired the Chicago Terminal and
Transfer railroad, and said he knew
nothing about Mr.. Harrimans reported
purchase of the Pacific coast company.
He will welcome the Union Pacific
if the latter builds to Seattle. At
present the Hill roads are the only

President Wolfsohn urged the estab-

M. Mandelstam of Kieff presented a
report on the conditions in Russia from

had no hopes of an improvement in
their status resulting from a revolu-

solution of the problem according to
the report, would be the foundation of
Jewish fatherland.
