Owen Wants Duty on Crude Oil.

Westinghouse Owen yester-
day announced his intention of voting
for tariff on crude petroleum
Senator Owen said:
oklahoma has an immense capital
invested in thousands of oil wells
many of which are small producers
that may be seriously injured, they
advise me, If this leverage is given to
the Standard. The Independent pro
ducers represent to me that the Stand
ard with its fleet of oil boats will de-
liver cheap crude oil from Mexico
within our borders and reduce the
price of crude oil below the point at
which the Independent producer can
live, doing ruinous harm to the pro-
duction Of the oil bearing areas OF
Oklahoma and to the consumers OF re-
fined oil in Oklahoma, because with
an unlimited supply of extremely
cheap crude oil in the hands of the
Standard that great organization
could break down the independent re-
finers, who have been growing In re-
cent years, and having destroyed this
competition would have the consumer
still more at the mercy of the Stand
ard.
"The consumers Of refined oil in
Oklahoma, where the oil costs less
than one cent a gallon, can be eff

tiles and by the development of com
petition within the state.
81 believe from the information now
before me that it is the wish OF the
people of Oklahoma that | favor a tax
on crude oil from Mexico. | desire to
represent the will of the people of my
state and to protect every interest Of
Oklahoma. And unless / am imme-
diately advised to the contrary In
some authoritative way I shall vote
for a substantial tax on the importa-
ton of crude petroleum. I have re-
quested the governor to advise me Of
the sentiment of the people of our
state, as he is on the ground and
should know what it really is"

''ADAM GOD ON TRIAL
RELIGIOUS FANATIC WHO KILLED
KANSAS CITY POLICEMAN.
Witnesses for Defense Think That He
Cannot Get Impartial Trial, Where
Deed Was Committed.

Kansas City, Mo.-Following a mo-
ton for change of venue in the case
of James Sharp, known as Adam God,
charged with the murder of police
man here last fall, nine witnesses
were placed on the stand yesterday
by the defense to show that a fair
trial could not be given Sharp in this
county.
"The general impression is that
Sharp is a religious fanatic, that he is
a crank and that he must be crazy,
Is it not?" Prosecuting Attorney
Conkling asked several times on cross
examination. The reply was usually
affirmative.
"Then if the defense Is insanity he
has the people about half persuaded
already, and the prejudice is in his
favor was the prosecutors state
ment.
Sharp at one time arose, Bible In
hand, and interrupted the proceedings
of the court.
These witnesses tell about what
did, and nothing is said about what
was done by my enemies and the enc
mics of the Lord" he declared.
Judge Latshaw then explained to
Sharp that he was not yet on trial and
that no jury had yet been convened,
and the defendant sat down. The
prosecution will introduce testimony
today to show why change of venue
should not be granted.

after three or four years of coffee
drinking I became nervous wreck
and thought that simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
l was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes SO severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
"After being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that 1t had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, SO | resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit

Rapid Growth at X. U.

Figures compiled by the registrar
of the University of Kansas show
that the institution is adding one
fourth to its total enrolment every
two years. This year the enrolment
is 1920, against 1876 two years ago,
a net gain of little more than "a per
cent. Nearly two-thirds of the in
crease for the two years was accom-
plished last year, amounting to more
than Is per cent. The panic cut the
enrolment down considerably under
what it would have been, especially in
the engineering school, which shows
an actual decrease in number since
last year. The college, on the ohter
hand, increased about one-eighth.
