wells have suffered drops in their
output on account of water trouble
while a number of new wells have not
produced the bulk of oil that was ex-
pected.
In fact Arnold declares that he Is
not as well pleased with the oil prop
critics Of the company as he was. He
recommends the expenditure OF

new wells on the property.

RAPS WALL STREET
FOR ASKING TROOPS

IF Wall Street Is asking for troops
to protect ITSELF" said Senator Ashurst,
of Arizona today. discussing the fnan-
ciers' petition that a regiment of troops
be stationed within twelve minutes dis
tance of the financial district in New
York. 1t Is probably planning to bring
about panic. and wants to be safe
from popular resentment, which such 9
fabricated and cocked-up panic by wall
Street would bring about"
His opinion was based on the sug-
gestion in the petition sent to Senator
O'Gorman and signed by leading Arms
close at hand would quickly put an end
to any civic disturbance" The rest
of the petition describes the need OF
having in New York regiment to en-
bark at once in case of foreign war.
Senator Shafroth was skeptical as to
Wall Streets fear of a mob.
Its probably the same desire to have
troops near by" he said, that we have
In Denver. The Japanese incident has
resulted In the quiet transference Of
most of the gold from the San Fran
cisco subtreasury to the Denver sub
treasury, where $500. .000. 900 Of gold Is now
stored. We are far from any possible
danger of foreign invasion there, and
yet our people want to have a regiment

wall Street has no need for alarm,
and no cause to try to influence Con-
gress by a pretense of fright" said
Senator Bristow

For the first time in four days the local
banks had full crews behind the graf
ings when the doors were thrown open
this morning. practically all of the
delegates having returned from the
convention of the American Institute of
Banking at Richmond, Va, which
closed last night
Secretary of State Bryan made the
address of the day, defending the idea
that the Government has right to con-
troll banks and to issue money. He
said that all the legislation in regard
to banking for generations had been In
favor of the bankers, whereas. he
pointed out. the banks existed for the
accommodation of the public and not
for the control of business.
Senator Burton took an entirely op-
posite view from Secretary Bryan on
the authority of the Government in
the issuance of paper money. He said
the provision of the currency bill au-
thorizing the Federal reserve board to
control the issuance of currency was
based on an erroneous idea, namely.
that a Government may properly as
sumo the providing of a supply of pa
per currency directly or indirectly. He
also said that the redeeming of all cir
culating notes should be left to the
banks exclusively.
