ORDERS ARREST OF ARCHBOLD

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O-A warrant
for the arrest of John D. Archbold.
president Of the Standard Oil Company,
for violation of the Texas laws, has
been in the possession of the federal
marshal at New Yc-k for weeks. but
has not been served. William H. Gray,
a lawyer of Houston, Tex, has reached
here to ascertain from Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham why Archbold has
not been arrested. He will have his
conference with Wickersham tomorrow
m forming.
1t is charged that Archbold, with 9th
ers, engineered a deal by which the
Standard Oil gobbled up the Magnolia
company of Texas after the Standard
Oil had been elected from Texas be-
cause it was a trust. The Texas au-
thorities got federal indictments

tions. The Union also owns and has
sold refneries and a comprehensive
selling agency.
Announcement that the deal had been
practically completed was made by Mr..
Watchorn on his return from New York,
where he has been in conference with
Eugene de Saba, president of the Gen
eraI Petroleum Corporation, and other
financiers.
The agreement calls for the transfer
of 100000 shares of Union Provident
and United Petroleum stock at $3.50 a
share, which means practically a s20,-
600. 900 deal
Union Provident and United Petra
leum are the companies organized by
Lyman Stewart and other members of
the Stewart family wherewith to effect
control of Union Oil. They are the
holding companies; the only one that
produces is Union Oil.
The Stewards own a majority of
Union Provident and United Petroleum
stock, and the purchase of this by the
General Petroleum Corporation means
their retirement from the two holdin e
companies.
All that remains is for the directors
of Union Provident and United Petro-

Lyman Stewart, who is responsible for
the negotiations.

Mr.. Popenoe and his brother. who
are authorities on sub-tropical fruits
spent a month in the plains of India
collecting seeds and plants which will
undoubtedly result in the introduction
of some new plants for this valley. as
they were especially interested in get
ting fruits that had been acclimated
| to desert conditions.
dozen varieties Of pears and plums
indigenous to Northern India is one
of the things reported.
The date is grown successfully in
few parts of India. One is on the
desert plains of the northwest where
the rainfall is slight and climate hot.
In other parts the rain falls Just when
the palm would naturally ripen its
fruit. In parts of the country ADAPTED
to its cultivation, however it is ran
idly becoming a staple article and i'm
portant commercial factor.
Plantations are made by offshoots
either imported from Basra or taken
from some of the plains already flour
ishing, which have been imported dur
ing the past 25 years The importa
tions have been very successful. al
though in most cases the offshoots
were shipped without packing or wa
tering, showing that the mortality
among offshoots is due to carelessness
after having been planted.
All of the varieties in India, except
from the Persian gulf. The horticuI-
turists in charge of government work
in India say it is impossible to try 70
propagate dates on a commercial scale
from seeds. There are a few ranch
men in the Coachella valley, however.
who have been remarkably successful
in growing from seedlings, and are
now reaping quite a harvest from their
groves in the way of ripened fruit.
Botanists claim, however, that the re-
suit of the seedlings is always prob
lematic, and experim ents show that
out of a quantity of imported dates
of first quality few palms resulted
which produced good dates, while the
others could not be distinguished from
the worthless wild variety.
