Morning Session.

When the hearing convened this
morning, Byron Drew, president of the
Bayou Oil Co. was the first witness. He
testified that his company would rath.
ed shut their wells down than to ac-
cept less than soc for oil. Officers of
other companies were called and each
one made the same statement that
Mr.. Drew made Mr.. Brown of the Cor
slcana Petroleum Company stated that
his company would agree with the 9th
er producing companies and if they
stored no oil that his company would
store none, that the earth was the nat
ural and best storage for oil. Mr.Dings
OF the Coline Company said his COM
pany had just finished a tank which
1t would like to fill, but that 1t would
agree to the regulation against stor.
age, and would not use their tanks
Mr.. Dings under cross-examination bv
General West said that storing of
OIL was grabbing according to finan.
cial ability, while some companies
could buy storage, others could not
and those who cannot. would suffer
loss He believes that shutdown
should be a complete shut down in or.

value of the two oils now that such a
condition may not prevail at a later
time. When this proposition was de-
clined the producers placed before the
pipe line people the only other alter
native which they had to offer which
was to require soc for all oil taken and
under no consideration to accept less
sum. The alternative was accepted
and Mr.. Franklin so reported at the
hearing this morning and soon after
ward adjournment was taken.

Another Witness Coming.

While the business of this meeting
has been finished as far as it affects
the Healdton producers, the hearing
will convene at l o'clock this after
noon to take the testimony of Mr..
Stevens who is alleged to have been
at Tulsa yesterday as representa-
tive of the pipe line offering to pur-
chase oil for less than the price fixed
by the commission. Mr.. Greer had Il
telegram from Mr.. Stevens in which
it was stated that "A wreck on the inter
urban from Dallas to Fort Worth had
caused him to miss the train last
night, and the witness would be here
at noon today. Mr.. Greer also stated
that the offer to sell to his represen.
tatWe as he understood it was for
storage oil and did not conflict with
the order of the commission.

Private Refineries.

Another feature entered into the
hearing today that is of interest tC
Ardmore and to the field. When stor
age regulations were announced those
who have holdings in proximity to the
Crosbie lease wanted to know what
was to be done in instances where a
producer builds a refinery and uses his
own oil in the operation of the refn-
cry. Judge Henshaw replied that the
matter would be handled under the
common purchaser act and intimated
that the Crosbie people would not be
allowed to use their own oil to the
exclusion of other oils in the field in
the operation of the proposed refin-
cry. General West made the state
ment that the producing, transporta-
tion and refining of oil were all
brought under the one head by the
Yeager-Strain bill, that all of them
were subject to state regulation and
If producers objected to the taking
of oil from neighboring lease in the
operation of a refinery, that the refin-
ing company could be required to
prorate the oil used in the refinery.

Oil Storage.

The matter of storing oil was also
dealt with in manner that is unu-
sual in oil fields The inspector in the
fields is to be notified today that be-
ginning tomorrow morning all pro-
ducers who place oil in storage will
have the amount so placed taken off
of their pipe line runs This will re-
suit in denying sales of oil to those
who store oil.
The Gunsburg Forman attitude was
discussed in this connection 1t seems
that these people are preparig to drill
more wells at once. They have five
tanks either up or in course of con-
struction and have ordered more
tanks in. These people do not want
to sell for less than soc, but expect to
proceed with development and to store
their oil.

Pierce-Fordyce Manager.

C. w. Cahoon, manager of the
Pierce-Fordyce Oil Association, was
sworn as witness. He stated in part
that he was acquainted with the value
of Healdton oil, he confirmed the state
ment made of the deal with his com
pany as stated by Mr.. Brown, said that
his company had contemplated build
ing g pipe line here and to Cushing,
that it was not kept from doing so by
the Magnolia people, but that finan-
cial conditions due to the war had
prevented the building, said his COM
parry still had the matter in mind and
would probably build when financial
conditions improved He said the
iIealdton oil was good fuel oil, but
rot good refining oil, that distil-
ates from the Cushing oil were mix
ed with the Healdton kerosene to
bring it up to make it a salable kero-
sene. cylinder stock cannot be made
of Healdton crude Cushing oil is
worth from 33 1-3 to 40 per cent more
than Healdton.
Adjournment was taken until $50

SOME PROPOSED SOLUTIONS.

Several propositions have been ad-
vanced for the better protection Of
American citizens in Mexico. which
appear TO be suggestive OF better re
suits than are obtained under the
present policy OF President Wilson.
One OF the most effective seems TO be
that proposed by Senator Penrose 10
place United States troops in Mexico
as a constabulary for the protection
OF American citizens. That IS a con
crete idea OF protection. TO safeguard
them from loss of life instead OF NOV
ing in after they have been killed.
Another proposition comes from the
president emeritus of the University
OF Minnesota. based on the precedent
of the action Of the powers In the
case OF China at the time OF the
Boxer rebellion lie would have the
United States ask all European ma
tions TO come in. as they did at
Peking. China, to protect their citi-
zens and property. Then. all of them
including the United States. should
move out NJ tho end and leave Mexico
in a settled state That would Ger
tainly be a pleasant way OF shifting
the responsibility now borne by this
country to the shoulders OF each in
dividual nation. with reference to the
safety Of their subjects.
But would not such action be a
distinct recession from the Monroe
doctrine? Even a technical abroga-
tion Of tho spirit Of that doctrine
might weaken the effectiveness OF the
letter Of our former attitude should
occasion arise in the future 10 make
forciblc application OF the doctrine
