son Kerlee. who IL reported to have
been a Suitor Of Mrs. Ulrey previous
to the wedding, was placed under ar
rest soon after the shooting and was

Oil and Gas

In all sections of the eastern fields
the falling off of development work is
becoming more pronounced. With
the return of spring it has been the
rule to increase operations, but there
is no indications of such a movement
at this time. 1t is apparent on every
hand that operators are determined to
do as little work as possible until con-
ditions show signs Of Improvement.
The two most important factors are,
over-production supplied by the mid
continent fields and the handicap of
the export trade, occasioned by the
war abroad. In the eastern fields there
is still room for a large Amount OF
development work, with the posi-
bility OF finding new pools, but opera
tors has so little territory that prom
ises to furnish anything better than
light producers.
The one best prospect for a new
pool is located in Cabin Creek district,
Nanawha county, w. Va. Before the
close of another month, more will be
known of this development. The first
we'll completed by the Columbus Pro-
ducing company, located on the Will
liams Coal ccmpany's tract, was
drilled in last December and since
then has produced about 5000 barrels
of oil and is still holding up at 10
barrels a day. The way the initial
we'll has been producing has encour-
aged the Columbus Producing COM
pany to start quite little new work
in the immediate vicinity of the pro-
ducing well and with it's completion
1t can be determined whether or not
the first we'll is in the freak class. The
present status of the drilling wells are
as follows: No. 2, 1915 feet; No. 3,
1850 feet, and No. 4 1000 feet. The
rig for No. 5 has been completed. In
the same district, the United Fuel
Gas company is drilling at 500 feet at
test on the Paint Creek Coal Land
company's tract. The South Penn
Oil company has rigs completed for
tests on the Ohley Coal company and
the Coalburg Colliery company's
tracts. Other companies holding
leases in that section have made loca-
tons, but as yet have not started de-
velopment work. In Wayne, Clay and
Lincoln counties there is little new
work of the experimental kind start
ing. In Union district, Clay county,
the Craig Oil company is drilling a

The situation which has developed
within the past week. due to the court
decision in the case of j. n. Galley
against Col. ]. NJ. Guffey. places in
jeopardy the immense holdings OF
Thompson and his friends, unless they
are able to stay off impending pro.
ceedings in the courts. The fortunes
of all the local millionaires are indeed
endangered. If the Pittsburghers who
hold the controlling shares of the de-
funct First National Bank want to
take them from Thompson they must
ask the court for permission, but. in
view of the Guffey decision, the courts
have no alternative but to grant the
right to take the collateral.
Meanwhile. it is said that Thomp,
son believes he can clear the entire
situation in few weeks, IL he can
ward off the creditors from foreclos-
ure before that time. 1t Is also said
that his coal holdings will be under.
written by a syndicate. and that
Thompson is to get mediately
enough money to clear his obligations
an dreopen his bank.

MILLIONAIRES IN
DESPERATE STRAITS
New Laws Rushed Through
Legislature To Protect
Holdings.

UNIONTOWN, Pa. Mar. 25-The
fortunes of fifteen millionaires involv-
ed in the financial wreck caused by
the closing of the First National Bank
are in serious danger, as the result OF
coutr ruling. AS a climax to the
sensational exposure of the banks af.
fairs and those of Josiah Y. Thomp.
son, its president, with it's train OF 9th.
er failures of millionaires interested
with him in big coal and oil land in
vestments. the decision last week OF
the Supreme Court that holders OF
mortgages may foreclose them struck
a deep and hard blow at the local IL
nanciers. The only measure of relief
in sight is the bill introduced in the
legislature by Senator Grow, empow'
ering the courts to take hold of the at.
fairs of persons in financial difficulties
in order that real and personal hold.
ings shall not be sacrificed at prices
below their real value.
Ever since the First National Bank
of Uniontown closed it's doors on Jan.
! nary IS dark clouds have hung over
the situation here. First came the
accusation by the Comptroller of Cur.
rency that the bank was conspicuous.
" a one-man bank, and that at one
! time it had loaned to Thompson 81 ,34T.
| 900, or more than one half of the en-.

the Washington treaSureiy officials
had forced the bank to reduce this
amount. until, when the bank failed
Thompson'S loans on his direct paper
and endorsements were only 100000
Then came the charges that Thomp.
con was the victim of secret enemies
of Wall Street and Pittsburug, who
were trying to wreck his plans SO that
they might gain control of valuable
options and holdings on coal and oil
lands. Thompson's friends maintains
ed that there was underneath" work.
A mysterious hand" has played big
part in blocking coal deals in which
Thompson hopes to recoup his fallen
fortunes according to Thompson inter.
ests
1t is said that prominent steel
man has come to Thompson's aid at a
critical time, and that before the
month is out an arrangements will be
made by which the situation will be
relieved without the wrecking of the
big plans made by the flnanciers be-
fore the smash came.
1t is said that Thompson Is the head
OF q $70,000,000 syndicate which con-
trolls an immense acreage of soft coal
lands. When his bank blew up, he
could easily have liquidated at a slfgh.
sacrifice. but the bigger plan would
have been lost. He called upon friends
to stand by him. 1t was pointed out
at the time that the Tricks and Me-
Ions Of Pittsburgh, together with bis
bankers there, were interested in
downing Thompson and his syndicate.
Thompson and his associates charged
these Pittsburgh interests with work
ing against him in order to force him
TO sell his holdings at a sacrifice.
Within a week of the date of the date
of the bank crash. Frick and his asso-
ciates offered Thompson $4,000, 900

undeveloped coal in Greene county,
and delivered an ultimatum giving

THE OIL MARKET.
Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, March 24.-The wheat
market was an affair OF the bears to-
day, at least it terminated in favor OF
the bears. and at losses of 5s91Ac,
although the market possessed some
reactionary power, following the sharp
price losses. The cash demand was
active at the seaboard and sales of
three cargoes were made, OF which
500, 900 bushels were to the Dutch gov
eminent. Only $4,000 bushels were
taken here by millers. Duluth re-
ported 5000 bushels sold there at the
opening OF navigation.
Corn closed with losses of B Ole.
Stocks of corn here are large. and
while receipts continue to fall off, only
456,000 bushels today compared with
sac. 900 bushels a year ago. the cash
demand is small on both Eastern ship
ping and export account. Sales here
were 10000 bushels.
Oats followed the other grains and
crossed at 1@Ac. Cash sales were
$4,000 bushels.
The situation surrounding the hog
market, as we'll as cash meats and
lard may be called bearish, and this
was reflected in the weakness in the
provision market today.

Finance, Oil and Real Estate

NEW YORK, March 24.-Stocks
were strong again today. There was
further increase in outside buying
with several heavy purchasers for
purely investment account in the
standard issues. including one order
for 10000 shares of Union Pacific.
This stock was the leader with an ex-
treme gain of three points. The ad-
vance induced selling from London,
but the offerings were quickly alb
serbed.
There was a slight recession in the
leaders at the close, but this was
construed as favorable to a continual
ton in the general advance.
Atchison, which has made probably
the best showing OF any railroad, rose
two points and 3. & o. crossed 20 on
the publication of the February earn
ings. Reading was active and strong,
although the price changes at the end
were unimportant. Great Northern
preferred. Northern Pacific and Penn
sylvania were picked up by the semi
investment houses in liberal amounts.
Erie issues showed pronounced
strength, the common crossing "a. al
though this stock was supplied from
London.
The United States Steel Products
company has secured orders for $4,000
tons of steel for the Greek government
and 1900 tons for shipment to the
Far East. The Northern Pacific has
bought $500 tons of rails from the
Illinois Steel company and the Great
Northern increased its order with the
same company by 1000 tons. Steel
workers report good demand, especial
~ for steel bars of which agricultural
implements manufacturers are the
. best buyers. Prices of steel are firm.

Mutton ~ Rapid Monetary /,
Returns Are Received. I

A few sheep should be kept on

profits with very little care or ex-
pense. Some Of the advantages IN
keeping them are:
F1rst-The sheep II . dual purpose
animal. producing both WOOL and NUT

Second-The initial expenditure 10
small. Every farmer can well afford
the Investment Of the necessary cap
ital in few sheep.
Third-Rapid monetary returns are
received. the wool clip and the lamb
crop being salable annually.
Fourth-Expensive buildings arc By

CRUDE PETROLEUM
AS NANCE REMEDY
Hogs Afflicted Should Be Given
Thorough Treatment at In
tervaIs of Eight Days.

(By N. H. REYNOLDS. Minnesota Elk
pertinent 9tation.)
Treatment Of hogs for mango should
begin with q vigorous scrubbing with
brush, soap and soft water so as to
remove the crust. A veriety of coal
tar dips are on the market. Most of
these are quite satisfactory II Of sum
Gent strength and warm enough
about ITO degrees, but do not boil.
The hog should be given good
thorough soaking in the dip. not less
than t~o minutes. The hog must go
under head and all at least once.
Treatment must usually be repeated
one or more times at intervals of
eight days. Treat the whole herd and
do 1t thoroughly
An effective dip can be made from
crude petroleum as follows: Four gal
Ions crude oil, 16 gallons of water and
one pound Of soap. The soap should
be dissolved in the water by heating.
An emulsion is then made by adding
the oil and thoroughly churning the
mixture. Water in different sections
differs very greatly In the way 1t will
combine with soap. II this amount Of
soap does not give q good emulsion
simply add more soap. Avoid oily
dips In cold weather. While the hogs
are taking the dip, thoroughly clean
and then disinfect the pens. In case
Of true mango the fence posts. trees
and everything against which the hogs
rub must also be disinfected. Use .
strong disinfectant and plenty Of II.
After treatment do not put the hogs
back into lousy or NANCY pens.
