IL. BURTON CRITICISED
BY SENATOR RANSDEL|
Ohioan Held to Have Changed His
Views on Rivers and Harbors
Improvements.

Sharp criticism of former Senator
Theodore l.. Burton of Ohio because
of his attitude toward river and harbor
ator Joseph E Ransdell of Louisiana
president of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress. He said:
"A leopard cannot change its spots,
but it seems than an American poll
tician with the presidential bee in his
bonnet may change the views of a
lifetime on a great question of national
policy Former Senator Burton, in d
recent magazine article. says War
has not been declared against water
way improvements in the United
States yet-a careful reading of his
article shows that he has certainly de-
clared most virulent war against nearly
all our interior streams on which
freight is carried In competition with
railroads. .t
"Mr Burton criticises in the sharpest
manner our method of making water
way improvements. During the ten
years that he was chairman of the
rivers and harbors committee. his
power over waterway Legislation was
sponsible for the present system than
any other man. If it. is bad, which
deny, then the principal blame rests
on him. While he was chairman som G
of the projects he now attacks so BIT
terly, notably the Trinity river, were
inaugurated. Why did he not prevent
it: or at least oppose it, in the halls Of
Congress? The record shows he was
a strong champion of the Trinity at
that time"

MRS. AGNES C. KLINGER
ATTACKED AT RIVERDALE
Postmistress of Village Is Assaulted
While on Way Home From
Euchre Party.
pecial Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star
HlATTSVILLE, December 30.-Mrs.
Agnes {. Klinger, postmistress at Riv-
erdale. Prince Georges county. and wife
or Ossle klinger, a former Washington
policeman, is suffering from an ugly
scalp wound and nervous shock. as the
result of an assault made upon her
last night about 1890 o'clock while on
her way home from euchre party held
in the town hall in Riverdale. Fortu-
nately. others who had been attending
the party were in the vicinity of the
a ssault, and hearing Mrs. klinger' S
screams came to her rescue and fright
ened her assailant away. The assault
did not render her unconscious, and
she was able to walk to her home, about
100 yards from where she was struck.
g. a. Meyer, one of the euchre players,
was the first to come to Mrs. klinger S
aid, and found her in dazed and
nervous condition.
Mrs. Klinger it is stated. is uncer-
tain as to whether her assailant was a
white or colored man, but thinks he
was colored.
The wound is cash about two inches
long in the scalp, and was made with
a blunt instrument. The purpose OF
the assault was, it is believed, robbery,
as the assailant attempted to seize her
satchel, in which. perhaps, the man
thought. were the post office receipts.
Mrs. K1inger held onto the satchel.
Mrs Klinger wore a heavy hat, and a
comb which held her hair was broken
by the blow and a portion of it i'm
bedded in the scalp. Her skull was not
fractured, and DR.. r. A. Bennett, who
attended her. says she will soon re
cover. Sheriff Robert F. Gates and
Deputy Sheriff Thomas H.. Garrison
were out all night searching in the vi
cinity of the assault and believe they
have a clue to the mans identity.

PRICE Of GASOLINE
RISES WITH SUPPLY
Output of Crude Oil in 1915
Breaks All the
Records.
CONSUMER F00Ts BILLS
FOR AUGMENTED VALUES
Geological Survey Reports Increase
in Stock Is Conclusive Rebuttal
of Price Boosting Plea.

Governmental reports of increased
Oil production and Wall street figures
on augmented values of OIL properties
are coming out simultaneously with the
lifting of the price of gasoline to the
fellow who in the end has to foot the
whole bill.
The Secretary of the Interior has
made public the preliminary figures of
the report of the geological survey on
the production of crude petroleum,
from which gasoline is made. The Sec
retary indicates an increase of about
100000 barrels over last years out
put. which, with a total production of
about 290. 900, 600 barrels. was a record
breaker.
Year Began With Surplus.
"The present year began with a sur
plus of petroleum in field storage"
said the report, 80 that production of
crude oil was not pushed. Under these
conditions the small increase in mar
keted production was significant OF
the total yield of the wells the past
year about per cent remains in field
storage, and added to this are the stocks
held in storage by the pipe line COM
panies, reserve estimated by the survey
as 5o,ooo.ooo barrels greater than year
ago.
The supply in the United States is
not unlimited, but the decline in the
country's output of crude oil has not
yet set in. The increase in stocks is
in itself a fairly conclusive ~ebuttal
OF any price boosting plea of present
shortage. Furthermore, the. better
market for crude oil, which character
lied the. closing months of the year,
has already somewhat stimulated drill
ing activity, which may contribute to
next years production"
Holders of Standard Oil Stock.
Today's issue of the Wall Street
journal, published in New York. says:
The wealth of Standard Oil stock
holders. expressed in the market value
of those shares, has increased just
about three times since the company
was dissolved, May Is, 1911.
John d. Rockefeller prior to the
dissolution of the company held 247,-
692 shares out of the 9s3.3S3 shares or,
roughly, 25 per cent. His holdings had
a market value of s167,192.10O when
the decree of the Supreme Court of the
United States was handed down, using
s675 a share-the dissolution price To-
day those shares have a market value
of more than s421 GOO, 900, based on the
price of S1.700 for old Standard Oil "all
on" as it is now quoted.
LAS matter of fact. the value of
the old Standard Oil stock is consider
ed as far in excess of s1,70O, which
is largely nominal quotation. Two
thousand dollars share is regarded
as a far more accurate price, but even
that would only partly represent the

TRICK TEXAS STOCKMAN

CHICAGO, December 30.-Wire tap
pers, alleged to be operating in a sub

a wealthy stockman of Midland, Tex.
out Of $4,000 on horse race. according
to reports to the police today
The swindlers, it was said. met Baer
in Kansas City. Mo, where some
wagers were made on the races and
later their acquaintance was renewed
in Cincinnati. The men who got his
money, Baer charges. are Edward A.
Alexander and Charles c. Miller.
Baer and his two companions came to
Chicago Christmas day. 1t was reported,
the wires were tapped" and Baer was
told that every bet had been won. He
claims to have turned over $4,000 to
the two men. and all three left for Gin
cinnati, whence they were to go to Lex

present and potential value of the old

Rockefeller Holdings, $500, 600, 900.


"At $4,000 a share, the value of John
D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil holdings
of close to 25o.oo0 shares is approx
mately 100000. 600 1t is known, how
ever. that all of that stock is not now
held by Mr.. Rockefeller. for some of
it has been turned over to the Rookie
feller Foundation and other institu-
tionS.
Fortunes of the other big Standard
Oil stockholders show correspondingly
large increases. The value of the shares
held by the estate of Charles Pratt
has increased from s35,s00.0 900 to sse,-
100000. The 42,400 shares held by c.
w. Harkness have increased in market
value from s29.200,00O to s72, ,000.-
The. old Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey was controlled by ten in
dividuals and two estates. With the
exception of the stock which has been
set aside by Mr.. Rockefeller for various
purposes, it is believed that the hold

holders are intact to large extent.
for it is the opinion in well informed
quarters that the insiders have sold
