advance of 2, cents a barrel over the
returns for June and the highest price
received in more than two years. Sales
in July amounted to So per cent of the
oil delivered during the month.
1t is not expected that the August
price will reach the July level, for it
is certain that the sales were smaller
last month, or the order to reduce
daily runs would not have been sent
out. The obvious decrease in sales
demonstrates that marketing condi-
tions were affected by other things be-
sides the presence of hostile warshIp,
in the Pacific.
1t has been stated that surplus funds
amounting to the sum of 500, 900 will
be distributed among the members of
the agency shortly. This money repre-
sents an accumulation over and above
expenses duringo 1913. The disttibu-
tion may have been decided upon at
this time tosoffset the loss entailed by
the decreased demand for fuel oil,
which is all that the agency handles.
The distribution, if it is made, will be
based on past productions.
Mascot Stops Production.
The Mascot Oil Company, which was
obliged to passoits monthly dividend
last month, has yshut down its thirty
eight wells in the Midway field. The
Mascot production is all fuel, and in
stopping production the management
acted on the belief that it was better
to allow the oil to remain in the ground
than to take it out when the market
conditions were unfavorable. The
company has not been operating its
Midway property to full capacity Of
late, owing to the falling off in the
demand for fuel. All of the company s.
production has been going to the Union
Oil Company.
Doheny on Conditions.
President Z. L. Doheny of the Mexi.
returned to the Coast from the East,
states that the oil situation in the, East
ern states continues unfayorable, with
no immediate prospect of Improvement.
While Doheny is optimistic as to the
future OF the oil business, he believes
that something must be done toward
reducing surplus stocks in this country
and in Mexico before a return of nor
mal conditions, can be expected. Do
beny agrees that the present depres-
sion is due principally to the Europe
an war, but he maintains that over
production is almost as great factor
in the situation as the sudden stoppage
of exports.
1t is believed that the Mexican Pc
troleum Company has abandoned for
the present the project of erecting
large refinery with adequate storage ia
cilities at a. point near New Orleans,
which would be accessible to the com
pany IS tank steamers.
Dutch Shell Pipe Line.
All rumors to the effect that the
construction of the Dutch-She pipe
line from Coalinga to San Francisco
was held up on account of the Europe
an war were set at rest last Friday
when the Valley Pipe Line Company, a
of the foreign combine,
nade application to the Railroad Com
mission for authority to finance the
construction of the line.
Although all rights of way have not
vet been secured, there is no reason to
believe that the route of the line will
differ to any extent from that origin

ROME, Italy.-The first consistory
of Pope Benedict was marked by a
gorgeous display in the apparel Of
those present and decorations of the
papal court The nativity of the Vir-
gin was chosen for this occasion by
the pontiff himself
The participation was limited al
most entirely to ecclesiastics and of.
ficials of the Vatican. Many relatives
of the Pope occupied seats in spe-
ciaI tribuna.
Surrounded by almost all the car
dinais in Rome, the Pope was car
ried into the consistory on the Ges-
tatoria chair and greeted with loud
applause.
His holiness imposed the red hat on

European Oh supply.
Mail advices from London say that
many experts have been at work get
ting out figures and facts with regard
to European oil supplies and the war
situation. One of the most interesting
of these surveys starts by comparing
the production of crude oil in the four
European oilprodueing countries, eth
|ei directly or Indirectly concerned. The
production in these countries last year
was as follows:
Russia, 1925 1874 tons; Roumania, /,
Ss5,3S4 tons; Austria (Galieia), 1851
2S6 tons; Germany (estimate), 10000
tons. Up to June this year Russia,
which has the largest production--far
exceeding that of the other three coun-
tries put together-was producing at
about the same rate as last year.
There had been somewhat of decline
in the output of the oilfields of the
Baku district, but this was counterbal-
anced by an increase in the Crosby
production and also in that of the Trial
Emba district at the north end of the
Caspian sea. The Maikop production

lization so much as might be expected.
a majority of the workmen being eth
er Tartars or Persians and not liable to
military service. Throughout hostili-
ties, therefore, we may expect the
Russian fields to produce large quanfi-
ties of oil and that these quantities
will be amply sufficient, if respisi-
Toned by the government, TO provide
for the war needs of the Russian en-
pire in the way of fuel oil and the like.
The current production of Galicia
and the large stocks of crude oil have
already been requisitioned by The AUS.
titan government. The production in
these fields is bound to suffer BIZ the
mobilization; but. on the other hand,
since the austrian governments desires
a continual supply of crude oil, the
fields will not be unduly deprived of
their staff, and in this way production

a large audience. Miss Kitty Gordon. in
"Alma's Return" headed the bill. The
good support accorded her, the elab-
crate setting of her Offering and her
stunning gowns won admiration. bount-
fully expressed in applause, while her
scene with Harrison Hunter excited
hearty laughter. At the conclusion of
the sketch and as an encore Miss Cor

Girl" gave Brandon Hurst and COM
pany a chance to show their ability and
at the end to spring surprise that
scored a distinct hit. Harry Fox and
Yancsi Dolly sang and danced cleverly;
Mcmahon. Diamond and Chaplow were
well received in a good dancing turn:
Hawthorne and Inglis made many
laugh with "a Fool There Is" in which
they were effectively assisted by the
stage hands; Marie Fitzgibbon proved
a good story teller and made hit, and
the dancing of Lorraine and Burks was
dainty and pleasing, while Mile. Doria
won applause with her educated dogs.
The Hearst -Selig pictures closed the
bill.

Polls.

1.-The Lily,'' which was produced here
four seasons ago by David Belasco,
and in which Julia Dean, formerly
favorite actress in Washington stock,
made big bid for starring honors. is
being presented this week by the Poll
Players and serves to show, by strong
contrast with the play presented last
week, their talented versatility.
The play is based upon the selfish eX-
action of a father whose elder daugh-
ter is quietly effaced with nothing to
look forward to and whose younger
one, chafing under the restraint goes
her own way and ultimately falls in
love with a married man. 1t OFFERS
splendid opportunities for emotional
acting in strong situations.
The work of Miss Lillian Kemble. as
Christiane, the younger daughter, was
marked by dramatic power and ability.
while Miss Katherine Stanton, as the
elder sister, the role made famous by
Nance O'Neill seemed to reach the real
heights of her possibilities. and to stir
the audience up to enthusiastic ap-
plause. Robert Lowe, as the self-cen-
tered father, gave a good character
portrait, while Charles Mackay, in the
minor role of the artist lover of the
younger daughter, met fully Its re-
qurements. The cast as a whole did
well and the performance was quite
creditable.

to applaud them. During the two bur-
lettas many catchy songs are sung. one,
by Theo. Murphy, being so well re-
ceived that nearly every member of
the chorus had to sing it alone before
the audience was satisfied. The com
edy roles are well taken care of by
Theo. Murphy and Ed Harris. Vocal
selections are also rendered by Charles
Crafts, Jack Rowles. Marie Delmar
and Cofrinne De Forrest. A large
chorus sings and dances its way into
the favor of the audience.

Gayety.

typical Al Reeves beauty show
is the attraction at the Gayety Theater
this week. This means that it contains
the song 1--WE Tried to Be a Regular
Guy" sung by Mr.. Reeves; chorus
whose members really have good looks
and a living statue act" the usual
essentials of an AL Reeves show. From
the beauty standpoint perhaps the
surpasses anything seen
at the Gayety Theater this season.
Wilbur Dobbs and Sammy Wright are
both being comedians Of merit. Margie
Austin and Mabel Blake score with
their singing and dancing. One number
that seems to make big hit is a song
by Trixie Ayres, who makes her way
to the boxes with a stock of promfscu-
Gus kisses for distribution.
Reeves is on the stage only during the
latter part of the performance. His
part consists chiefly in telling what a
success he has made in burlesque. The
show closes with a number In which
Helen Western and thirty-eight other
beauties" are seen in poses.
The show contains some horse play
that appears to be uncalled for.

Another $500 Order Is Given
by the District Com

COLLECTIONS IN CAPITAL
REACH TOTAL OF $500
Additional Generous Donations Are
Received Today-Mrs. Logan
Explains What to Give.

Another $500 worth of flour was pur-
chased today for the starving women
and children of Belgium by the Dis
trict relief committee. with headquar-
tiers in the Cripps building, 425 18th
street northwest.
When the committee closed it's books
last night they showed that the many
small contributions from the people
of Washington had amounted to $1,000.
with $s5 contributed yesterday. When
early this morning other generous do
nations were received, the purchasing
committee decided that it could afford
to rush through another large order
for the flour ships which are to sail
next week under the American flag
consigned to Brand Whitlock, the
American minister at Brussels.
The committee was prompted to this
rush order by the fact that the price OF
flour is rising, and that it could still
get it at the mill prices with free
transportation both by train and ships:
thus giving larger measure of rel1ef
to the starving non-combatants in Bel
GUM.
The order was sent through by DR..
John c. Wise, medical director of the
United States Navy, retired, who is
treasurer of the District relief commit
tee.

people. Describing that need, Mrs.
Logan said today:
Money or food, that is the slogan.
Do make it plain people are to bring
only the foods asked for-four. peas,
beans, salt, salt meats. dried things
but not boxes OF cinnamon and pack
ages of soda. as the committee had
brought in. One woman said she had
heard spices were good to sharpen the
appetite-as if they needed anything
in this line-or soda, which is supposed
to be good for Indigestion
