Tulsa is the central point of the
oil business at oklahoma and the en-
tire Mid-Continent field. Every com
pany of consequence operating in this
field maintains general Offices here,
and there is more oil business trans
acted in Tulsa daily than in all of the
other cities of the MidContinent field
combined, The fountain source of oil
is here to be found, and that was an
argument that proved strong in bring
ing this refinery Tulsaward.
The Waters-Pierce company oper-
ates the most extensively in Missouri,
Arkansas and Oklahoma. 1t has in
in this state something like 150 dis
tributing stations.
Will Make Everything.
The cost of the new refinery is still
quite a matter Of conjecture, but it is
certain to be from $1,500,000 to $2,-
O00,00 or perhaps more. 1t Is said
that the company will virtually occupy
with buildings the entire 800 acres,
made necessary on account of the COM
plete refining plant which it will
erect
Manufacturing will be confined
strictly to oil, but it will embrace every
ramihcation of the refining process
There are hundreds of by-products
made from crude oil, and every ounce
of the 10000 barrels that enters its
plant daily will be utilized.
1t is hard to realize at once just
what this new enterprise means for
Tulsa and this community 1t will
take hundreds Of men more than one
years in which to complete the plant
for operation, and it will take hum
dreds to operate it after it is built,
and it is assured that the population of
Tulsa will be increased by several hun
dred thousand persons on account Of

line of business here.
Tulsa has never done a thing that
entities her to more credit than the
landing of this institution of manu-
facture and if the Commercial club
and the boosters who put 1t across"
remain idle for the next year, they
will have done enough to retain the
thanks of everyone. But they won't
remain idle-thats not the way of
Tulsa-and it need not be surprising
to hear OF the boosters nabbing some
thing bigger than the refinery some Of
these days.

BLOOD-STA|NED AXE
FOUND BY SHERIFF

Killing of Frank

Investigation Is Being Con-
Quoted There This
Afternoon.
CORONER AT CAMDEN
palladium Specially

EATON, O., June ia further in
yestigation of the killing of Frank
Bourne, 48, late Thursday led to the
establishment of the fact that the man
was killed as he lay peacefully sleep
ing on the floor in the kitchen of his
home. This was established when
Sheriff Ed B. WertZ found a blood
stained axe and uncovered a piece of
mixed rag carpet which showed a
blood spot about one foot in diameter
The heavy end of the axe compares
exactly in size to the fracture found
in Bourne's skull, and there is but
little doubt of it's use as the imple-
ment with which the death blow was
inflicted.
Carefully Planned.
Attending circumstances found in
this connection tend to show that the
crime had been carefully planned and
perpetrated in a very systematic man
ner The kitchen floor was not COW
cred entirely with carpet, and Sheriff
Wertz is of the opinion that this par
ticular piece was secured later by the
murderer in an endeavor to hide the
big blood spot on the floor. To make
hiding more safe, a large box had
been placed on the carpet directly
over the spot, and a table then plac-
ed over the box.
Grave Digging Follows.
The work of digging a grave to hold
the body of Bourne was doubtless
taken up after the killing. This con-
clusion is drawn from the fact that,
had the body been taken Immediately
out of the house. the floor would not
have shown the presence of such a
quantity of blood.
Although it had been reported to
officials that Elwood Davis had prob
ably been helped in the crime with
which he is charged, one man whose
name had been mentioned was located
Thursday by Sheriff Wertz and will
appear Friday afternoon at the inves-
tigation to be conducted at Camden
by Coroner Fl. H.. Silver Another
mans name came to the attention of
officials Thursday and efforts will
made to locate him, although author
tiles are confident he is entirely with
out any knowledge of the affair.
Will Not Eat Cakes.
Davis refuses to eat a few cakes
which were a part of meal furnished
him. He confded in Malston and said
he did not like their color and be-
lieved they contained dope" which he
thought might have been given him in
an endeavor to secure statement.

The investigation of Coroner Silver
Is being held at Camden this after
