j. J.. Getty has but recently re-
turned from trip TO foreign oil
fields, including those in Egypt, Rou-
mania, Galicia and at Baku, Russia.
lie says the European war has slim
ulater, rather than depressed, the oil
market, and points TO the fact that
gasoline is now selling I'm Paris at 72
cents gallon, while nowhere in
Europe can It be bought at less than
so cents This is at less than one cent
a gallon for the crude in the Heald-
ton field. at the present prices paid

There is not an over production Of
oil and there is demand for all oil
produced. according to Mr.. Getty, but
the present troubles in oklahoma
grow out Of the fact that there is
not sufficient pipe line capacity.

Mr.. HUTTON IN MEMPHIS.

The effort to question the good
motives or the sincerity of 10 L.
Hutton, former receiver Of the old
Mercantile Bank, is outrageously un-
just, in view Of what Mr.. Hutton dis
for the depositors in that bank and
his remarkably able work in the con-
duct Of the receivership. The
splendid returns made to the deposi.
tors in the Mercantile Bank, whose
money had been stolen, is due prob
ably more to the efforts of Nj. Hut.
ton than any other man. His career
in Memphis Is such that to attack
him in any way cannot hurt him, but
rather is reflection upon the intelli-
gence and proof Of the insincerity o;
those making 1t. An attempt to de-
tract attention from the guilty by
seeking to besmfrch the innocent Is
a trick which usually exposes itself.
