BartlesviHe, /. T.-The action of
a small party of producers in ad-
vancing by one hour the meeting
called for 2 o'clock and appointing
committee TO go TO Washin gton,
is resented by a large number OF
local and visiting oil men who came
here to attend the meeting of Indi-
an Territory oil producers, called
last week, and reached the hall at
the appointed time only to find the
meeting in the hands Of men who
are known as pro-Stan dare although
independents also had part in the
meeting.

Furthermore there 900 homeless men, and TO- 900
