Washington, July THE navy de-

its report Il Secretary Daniels, recon-
mending the Involuntary retirement of
five captains. four commanders. four
lieutenant commanders and two lieu
tenants.
In addition to these voluntary re-

applications In order to provide va

The Involuntary retirement of Can

expected by his friends, and probably
will stir W a row IT was intimated
today by naval efficers that Captain
Gibbons retirement was due to his
lack of sea service and to certain OBJ
noxious TEXTURES of his administration
at Annapolis.
It is expected that both Captain
Gibbons and Captain Hill will protest
against the action of the board OF
selection for retirement.

for the retirement of Captain George

the liquor dealers of Virginia were

OIL and GAS NEWS

The officers of the Healdton Re-
tinery Company say that no person,
authorized by them, has made the
statement that the refining plant will
be located in Ringing. On the con-
trary, all arrangements have been
made to locate it in Ardmore. The
officers also declare that no person
has been authorized to represent
them in Ardmore outside the mem
bers of the directorate, and so far as
stock selling is concerned, the public
is warned that the company's secre-
tary, Mr.. f. c. Howe, will be the
authorized agent in case it is decided
to place some stock in this city. The
company has $4,000 worth of stock
subscribed for, also an offer of $50,-
coo additional, and contract is
ready to sign that will dispose of the
entire output of the plant at the rul-
ing market prices. The first actual
construction by the company will be
that of a pipe line that will give the
Healdton field producers an oppor-
tunity to reach the several railroads

can sell

ing of vast areas, and yet 13,50000
bales were produced then, which not
only broke all records up to that date,
but exceeded the previous largest crop
by over 100000 bales. The deduc-
tiOn seems obvious. Low temperatures
and unsettled weather conditions dur
ing April are not sound bull argl-
ments, nor can they of themselves
have more than temporary sustain
ing effect on values. Southern ad-
vices continue to confirm the belief
in a decided increase in aeeage. The
traffic manager of the Texas Pacific
railroad, writing from New Orleans,
says that from the present indica-
tlOns the cotton acreage of Texas
promises to be from ten to fifteen
per cent greater than last year; while
adviCes to the "COmmercial' are to
the effect that a large area Of ranch
land in southern and western Texas
is being planted to cotton. At the
present time it would appear almost
certain that all acreage records will.
be broken this year, a factor in itself
which points pretty strongly towards
another bumper yield of cotton. 1t is
perhaps on this expectation that the
upward movement, which was a prom.
inent feature in last weeks dealings.
was not renewed this week.

New York, April 22.-The census
bureau in the early part Of the week
issued its report on supply and dis
tribution, giving consumption by
American mills for the month of
March. This was placed at 493,774
bales, compared with 462, ,4jj bales
last year These figures do not in
clude linters. The total consumption
to the end of March was placed at
3,336, 600 bales against 3,1S100O bales
last year. Stocks of cotton, exclusive
of linters, in manufacturing establish.
ments were 1,70LOO0 bales, against
1,S3S,O00 bales in the previous season.
The amount in Independent ware
houses was given as 1,S33000 bales
against 100000 bales a year ago. Not
withstanding that the consumption
figures were construed bullishly, the
report had no appreciable market ef-
feet owing no doubt to the generally
accepted belief that the continued de-
preston in trade throughout the coun-
try must react on the textile bust
ness eventually resulting in a decided
falling off in absorption by mill IN
terests. Then, too, the consumption
figures for the period, although large,
We're from a price standpoint, prob
ably considered in relation to the
worlds supply, which, at the present
time is almost 100000 bales larger
than a year ago. As matter of fact
interest in statistics bearing on the
old crop positions is diminishing, and
speculative attention is being direct
ed to the new crop and its possibili-
ties For that reason the first gov
ernment weekly weather report of the
season was given considerable notice,
and although it reflected rather unfa-
vorabe planting conditions, what was
far more important was the state
ment made that the soil is very sen.

other considerations this factor is in

demonstration. II is not to be eX-

prove any exception to this rule. So
far. however, the delay in land pre-
Daration has not interfered with seed

Agriculture, the normal planting

making 200 barrels or a little better
an hour. The well is the property of
Simon Westheimer and F. B. Conrad
of Marietta, and NJ P. Nichols and
J. G. Adkins of Ardmore 1t is stated
that the drill is only nine feet in the
sand. The flow of oil is the greatest
of any well in the state of Oklahoma
Big wells are usually produced by
the shooting Of the sand, but this
well has not been shot and the chances
are that the drill has not penetrated
the sand to one-tenth of its thickness.
This well is another demonstration
that the Healdton field is one of the
big oil producing areas of the world.
There are many seasoned oil men
who believe that more oil will be pro-
duced at Healdton, than was ever pro
duced in the Glenn pool. The Glenn
pool contained 36 sections, which
gave up more oil than any other sim
liar area in the worlds history.
