Controlling Interest in R. N. G.
Corporation Has Been Pur.
chased and Remainder of
Stock Desired.
STANDARD OIL CROWD
INTERESTED IN DEAL?
Gas Will be Piped Into Rich
mond From the West Vir-
ginia Fields and Adequate
Supply is Assured.

Options on approximately two-thirds
of the stock of the Richmond Natural
Gas company have been secured by
Lee Ashley of the Westcott Motor
Car company, in behalf of a syndicate
which in August next will pass into
control of the eompany's affairs. This
fact was admitted by officers of the
Richmond Natural Gas company today
though the profession was made that
1t was not definitely known to whom
the stock is to go.
There are 1900 shares in the COM
pany and under the terms of the pur-
chasers the payment is to be made on
a basis of 81 cents on the dollar. Hold.
ers of stock who haven't yet given op-
tions have. it is understood, until July
to file such options.
For some reasons not satisfactorily
explained, there has been more or less
mystery connected with the deal, a
fact perhaps due to the desire of those
interested to not permit their identity
to become known until the transaction
was practically concluded.
The Common Belief.
The belief prevails however. and it
is founded on more than mere gossip,
that the company which controls the
West Virginia and Southern Ohio ma
tural gas fields will be the real
owners of the stock in the Richmond
Natural Gas company. and that the
way will Immediately be opened to Sc
cure for Richmond an adequate supply
of fuel next winter. The company al
ready has permanent lines into Cincin-
natl and Hamilton, O., and 1t is as
serted before midsummer is here work
will have begun on sixteen inch line
from Hamilton to Richmond. The syn
dicate behind the project, probably
backed by the millions of the Stand
ard Oil crowd, does not expect to de-
pend on the natural product for the fu-
ture, but intends to supply its lines
with manufactured fuel gas when the
time comes that the West Virginia
fields shall no longer prove adequate.
The time was, and not so many years
ago, that the Richmond Natural Gas
company paid annual dividends as high
as 80 per cent. but in the last few
-
ply has been so heavy that profits
have gone glimmering. This accounts
for the purchase of stock at the basis
of 81 cents on the dollar. However. it
is asserted the original stockholders
have received their investment back
several times in dividends and des-
pite the sacrificing figure OF the dis
position of stock at this day, the in
vestment has been one great profit.
Richmond people are concerned in the
deal only in SO far as the matter of
fuel supply is concerned, and it
would appear that the deal now being
cIosed will bring a plentiful supply.
There have been many persons who
have expressed the belief that the real
purchasers of the stock is the eastern
syndicate that controls the Richmond
Light, Heat and Power company. but
this has been denied by the officers of
the Natural Gas company.

BRYANT IS NOW OUT
Superintendent of the Eaton
Schools Declines to Accept
Position Again.
HIS ENEMIES WERE BUSY.
palladium Specially


Eaton, o., June 10,-Superintendent
Forrest B. Bryant Of the Eaton schools
has announced that he will not accept
unemployment at the hands OF the
board Of education.
Charges of dissatisfaction against
Superintendent Bryant's connection
with the schools have been in circula-
tion and are generally known in Eaton.
The information available to the pub
lie is that these charges have gained
circulation among the subordinate
teachers Of the schools. What the rea-
sons for the charges are not authori-
tatively known, but it is conceded by
the public that they are not of a ma
ture to be termed correct.
Knowing that such charges of dissat-
isfaction would injure Superintendent
Bryant's chances for unemployment,
petitions were circulated by his
friends and presented to the board Of
education. The petitions requested a
thorough investigation OF the matter
The board met Tuesday night and
was in session until 5 o'clock Wednes-
day morning and re-employed all
teachers save Professors Kleppinger
and OLeary and Superintendent Bry-
ant. Another meeting was held
"Wednesday afternoon, when Bryants
supporters were present to intercede
In his behalf. 1t was then that Mr..
Bryant announced he would not accept
another term, believing that the rup-
tion now existing between himself and
two or three OF the faculty would work
against the good OF the school.
Mr.. Bryant has served as superin-
tendent for the past three years and
now has the school in an eNr cellent
condition. The pupils and patrons
were favorable to his unemployment.
and his action in refusing another
term is generally regretted.

Statement, Following Conference
on Evidence Secured.

WASHINGTON, March 6-"It is nowsfor
the federal grand jury to decide whether
