MAN WHO FRAMED D
OIL TRUST DIES

NEW YORK, Jan. S1.-Samuel C.
Dodd, for many years solicitor for the
Standard Gil Company, died In Pine
hurst, North Carolina, Wednesday.
Dodds death removes one of the great
est of the powerful and wealthy men
who have occupied positions of COM
manding influence while themselves
remaining in the background. Amid
all the discussion of John D. Rookie
feller, H. II. Rogers. William Rookie
feller, James Stillman and others at the
head of the Standard OIL Company,
Dodd has been the man behind" the
corporation. He is reputed to have re-
ceived a salary of 100000 a year.
It was Dodd who prepared the trust
agreement under which the Standard
Oil Company was organized in 1882,
and when, after ten years of conflict in
the Ohio courts, that trust had to be
dissolved it was Dodd again who
shaped the company in the form under
which 1t is now being operated.

FRENCH MINISTRY
MAY RETIRE

- PARIS, Jan. 31.-The existence OF the
Cabinet is believed to be In danger as
a result of the clash In the Chamber
of Deputies last night between Pre-
mier Clemenceau and Minister OF Edu-
cation BRAND. While the incident was
superficially smoothed over. 1t Is
learned that 1t was the result OF
radical divergence OF views regarding
the proposition of the French Bishops.
BRAND. like his chief. regards the
proposition as being unacceptable in it's
present form, but the former believes
that the door of Cancellation should not
be closed. Clemenceau. however. will
brook no opposition. and at the Cabi-
net meeting today apparently carried
his point.
Announcement at any moment Of the
retirement of BRAND from the Cabinet
would not cause surprise. and II he
goes the whole ministry will undoubt-
edly follow.
The first definite movement In the
carrying out of the declaration made
by the Bishops is recorded from the
diocese of Grenob1e. where the priests
of fourteen communes presented to the
Mayors today the draft of lease for
the churches, couched in the terms set
forth in the Bishops declaration Ten
Mayors at once signed the draft. while
four deferred signing until the receipt
of instructions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
A member of the California
delegation said today:
Gas nearly as | can recol-
lect, this is the substance of
the language used by the
President at the conference
with the Californians yester-
day on the Japanese ques-
ton:
We must act irnme-
diately in removing all
causes of friction between
the United States and Japan.
The San Francisco school
question must be disposed of,
if possible, without waiting
for the decision of the courts.
Foreign Minister Hayashi
declares that, if the courts
decide unfavorably, the anti
Japanese movement in Cali
fornia will be considered to
represent the opinion of the
whole United States, and
that this would require dip
lomatic adjustment. This
can have only one meaning
can understand it. The
situation is more serious than
you believe.
4" That Mayor of yours,
the bassoon-player, whose
tune is hot air, may think
war with Japan would not
amount to much, but we are
dealing with a nation of
proud and brave people. You
do not know their resources.
War with them would not be
anything like the war with
Spain. The Japanese are not
like the Europeans, who will
exhaust the resources of Dip
lomacy before going to war.
When Japan strikes she
strikes quickly and without
warning. We must do all we
can to remove any possible
cause of war. If trouble come
it must not be our fault. We
must avoid a rupture If
any plan of diplomacy can
do If -

Independents Prepare to-
Enter Local Field and

REPRESENT CAPITAL
OF FIVE MILLIONS

OF FIVE MILLIONS
Propose to Run a Line
Of Steamships From the
South to San Francisco
1t was stated on the Oil Ex-
change yesterday that the inde-
pendent oil companies of Santa
Barbara County were forrnulat-
ing a plan to defy the Standard
Oil Company and to market their
own petroleum. The concerns
interested represent a total capi-
taliZation of more than $5,000,-
900. According to. the irlforma-
ton given out the project calls
for an independent steamship
line to run from Santa Barbara
and San Luis Bay to San Fran
cisco and points in the North
west. A feature of the scheme,
not yet perfected. includes the
cooperation Of the Midway Oil
Company, near Bakersfield, the
fuel to be carried by pipeline
from the company's wells to tide
water at Monterey, or Port Har-
ford on San Luis Bay. The en-
tire plan was called forth by the
refusal of the Standard Oil Com
pany to offer satisfactory prices
for the petroleum.
sPURNED BY THE TRUST
Many Of the contracts made by the
Independent p-1ducers in both the
Santa Barbara and Kern County fields
are about to expire. With a view to
making new. contracts, Timothy Spell
lacy recently visited San Francisco
on behalf OF the Midway Company,
and, representatives of the indepen-
dent companies in Santa Barbara
otc
confer with the officials of the Stand
ard. The Rockefeller agents refused
to pay more than 25 cents a barrel for
the Kern County oil and declined to
exceed that figure for the Santa Bar
bara County oil, which is of higher
er figure. The independent compa-
niles thereupon determined to endeavor
to market their own oil.
1t Is understood that the initiative
was taken by Timothy Spellacy 1t is
known that the Independents have
purchased a site on San Luis Bay.
where 1t Is proposed to build a wharf
and erect tankage. site has also
been secured on San Francisco Bay.
on the Contra Costa shore.
GREAT DEMAND FOR OIL
The claim is made that there is
scarcity Of oil and that were It not
for the manipulation practiced by the
Standard Oil Company prices at the
wells would be three times their pres
ent figure. Nevertheless, the Standard
has refused to raise materially its
offer. It's vast tanks In the Santa Bar
bara fields have barely enough fuel in
them to cover the metallic bottoms.
AS a result of the policy of the trust,
many of the wells in the district have
been capped Companies which are
able to turn out 1000 barrels a day are
turning out but half that amount.
great gushers being held in check.
Fuel has become scarcer and scarcer in
San Francisco, but the Standard firmly
refuses to meet the demand by paying
higher prices at the wells.
The growing demand for oil. the
falling off in the Texas supply and the
determination of the independents to
free themselves from the yoke of the
trust have encouraged the producers
to enter the field IN opposition to the
Rockefeller interests.
