THREE LARGE TANKS FOR pIF-
FERENT KINDS OF OILS, AS

BUILDINGS - COMPETITION
WILL MEAN MUCH TO CON-

The Gulf Refining Co., OF Pittsbu4 &
the chief competitor of the Standard
Oil Co., yesterday awarded contracts
for the construction of tanks and
buildings on the site recently pur-
chased at the corner of Main and A
streets, and work on the plant will
begin at once and be completed with

w. B. Lamb, of Jacksonville, repre-
senting the COMP any, was in the city
yesterday and colsed up all matters
relating to the plant here and opening

The company has its own OIL wells
at Port Arthur, pipe lines, tank
steamers and cars and is backed by
millions, insuring strict competition
with the Standard Oil Co. in all cities
where 1t is located.
We have been endeavoring for four
years to locate in Pensacola" said Mr.
Lamb to Journal representative yes

to secure the property necessary until
we began negotiations with the Fisher
Real Estate Agency, and / would like
to add here that this company and
the Pensacola Electric Co have treat
ed us fairly in all negotiations. In
fact. our treatment at the hands OF
everyone In Pensacola with whom we
have had dealings has been very
satisfactory
STRICT COMPETITION.
The people here do not seem TO
realize what competition between such
corporations means. Our company is
sufficiently large and strong to com
pete with the Standard on Co. here or
anywhere else that the two companies
may have plants. There will be a dif.
ference In the quality Of oils supplied
TO consumers, nnd there will also be

GIVES TESTIMONY
FOR HARRY THAW
DR.. AdolPh Meyer Testifes, But Ad-
nnits He Owes His Present Position
to Relatives of Thaw.
BY AssocIa+sd Prsas.

White Plains, N. Y, July s.-Dr.
Adolph Meyer, one of Thaw's alienists,
took the stand again when proceedings
aiming at Thaw's release from Mat
teawan were resumed here today. He
declared that the manner in which
Thaw killed White was a typical
paranoiac murder" He admitted that
it was specta cular but maintained that
there was no evidence that Thaw had
so planned it.
Under cross examination by Mr..
Jerome, DR.. Meyer admitted that he
owes his present position in the faculty
of Johns Hopkins University to rela :
tives Of Thaw.
DR.. John W. Russell, head OF Mattea-
wan asylum, said he does not regard
Thaw as q paranoiac, but believes him
TO be constitutionally inferior In an
swer to questions by the court, Dr.
Russell said that Thaw, If he was re-
leased and allowed to go back to his
old manner of living, might commit
another murder. He suggested, how
ever, that Thaw could safely be re-
leased in the care of a special attend
ant.
