SUGGESTIONS DIFFER
Question of Price Of Oil
Has Not Been Touched
Upon as Yet.

Special to The World.
A RDMORE, Okla, April 9.-Chair-
IA man Jack Love and Judge Hen
shaw, of the state corporation com
mission, devoted two hours here this
afternoon to the taking of testimony
to ascertain existing conditions in the
Healdton field. The testimony was
taken for the purpose of supplying
a basis upon which an order will be
issued later conforming with oil leg
islation and to equalize the oil runs
with reference to different producers.
Attorneys were given ten days in
which to file briefs, and In five days
following oral arguments will be
heard i'm Oklahoma City, and as soon
thereafter as the commission can
agree. the rules will be promulgated
with reference to this field Evidence
was taken showing that Wrightsman
q Foster were putting oil in steel
storage, that j. T.. CrOsbie Is running
one thousand barrels a day to his re-
fincry that the Thelma Oil company
run four thousand barrels during the
month of March, and that some Of the
adjoining leaseholders are placing oil
in steel storage.
The feature of the hearing was the
difference in the recommendations for
relief between j. NJ. Crtchlow. presi-
dent of the Dundee Petroleum COM
pany, and Byron Drew, president Of
the Bayou company. Mr.. Critchlow
stated that the mischief had already
been done and that the field should
be opened in order to give the neigh
bors of Wrightsman & Foster an op'
portunity to take their share of the
oil while Byron Drew expressed the
opinion that the field should be closed
down and that every barrel of oil
should be prorated among all the
producers.

rold appeared as attorneys for the
Ardmore Producers association ana
c. c. Herndon of Tulsa appeared for
Wrightsman & Foster, but did not
