OIL AND GAS
DEVELOPMENT
OF TR|STATE
Latest Reports Of Operations ID
West Virginia, Pennsyi.
~. vania and Ohio.

Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
southeastern Ohio oil producers were
greatly elated yesterday morning
when the Seep purchasing agency oil
the South Penn Oil Company marked
up the market price OF crude ten
cents a barrel. The advance had
been participated for some time, but
1t was not generally expected that II
would be a ten-cent advance. Scarce
ly an operator or producer but thinks
that in the near future the crude
market will reach the high point
$2.50-that prevailed before the
deluge Of oil in the mid-continent
fields and the discontinuance Of the
export trade occasioned by the Eu-
ropean war.
The new quotations posted now
places crude Of the Pennsylvania
grade at $2.35; Mercer black, New
Castle and Corning $1.85, Cabell
$1.88, Somerset $1.73 and Ragland
soc. The latter was marked up
only five cents. The late advance
will cause operators to get anxious
to start new work In the hope OF
getting new production to sell at the
higher market.

BUCKHANNoN, Jan. 2S.-The ex-
pected happened here Friday night
when the brilliant Marietta College
floor five literally ran away with Wes-
leyan's crippled aggregation and on
Its home floor amassed q total of 46
points to Wesleyan's 10. Shumaker
and Daniels were the only regulars to
start the game and Daniels was taken
out soon after the second half start
ed. Heavier also was only played for
a short time and for the major por-
ton of the contest, the Orange and
Black was represented by the reserves.
Capt. Jacobs, Ressegger and Morri-
son, all varsity regulars, did not even
appear in uniform as 1t was not de-
sired to jeopardize their chances OF
playing against Dayis-Elkins in the
championship game next Friday.
Unless Resseger, Jacobs and Morri-

against Davis Elkins Friday look poor
though it is expected that the whole

few passengers.
The information, however, is not official,
but was Learned from shipping man ar

these vessels, built for merchant service,
will be able to make the trip in ten days.

WOMEN SUFFRAGIsTS TO PARADE
IN CHICAGO

June 7 has been selected as the day for
great women's suffrage parade in Chi

Because women actually vote for the
mayor in Chicago the suffrage parade is
apt to be courteously treated. But it is
only two or three years since the suffra-
gists who dared parade at Washington
were set upon by hoodlums and insulted
by rufians, while the police looked on
alphabetically. ***
"That could never happen in Chicago

be easy. Chicago has learned to treat

SUFFERING OF JEWS FINDS NO
PARALLEL IN HISTORY

A nationwide campaign to raise re
lief fund of $5,OOO,OOO for Jewish war
sufferers in Europe has gained much head
way in the United States.
At monster mass meeting held at the
Auditorium on the night of May Is, the
sum OF $35O,OOO was subscribed, and con-
tributions in that city have since APP
preached the half-million mark The city
Of New York has subscribed more than
100000, and Philadelphia, San Francisco,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, and other cities
have contributed large amounts
In stirring appeal at the Auditorium
mass meeting, DR.. j. L. Magnes, head of
the Jewish committee in New York, de-
clared that the appalling catastrophe
which has overtaken the race finds no
parallel even in the history Of the Jews,
which has been full Of reverses and trag-
edies. Jews in the eastern theater of war
have no country, in any real sense, but are
being maltreated by the Russian soldiery,
as well as the German and Austrian.
Caught In the territory between the
opposing armies, their homes and fields
have been laid waste, their towns and bust
nesses destroyed, and themselves herded
and driven like cattle, maltreated and
starved, beaten and outraged. Neither
the wars against the Romans, nor the suf-
fering Of Israel during the Crusades, nor
the expulsion from Spain, can compare
with the present terrible crisis"
He told how Jewish men, accused Of
treason, had been led into the public
square and hanged before the eyes Of
their wives and daughters, and Of how the
women, when they turned their faces
away, were given the lash. He spoke of
how $50 Jews men, women and children,
had been shipped from Kovna, Russia, in
sealed freight cars, and left on side
track for ten days, while the police re
fused the citizens permission to give them
so much as a drink of water.
Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, who him
self has contributed $4,000, has summed
up the situation thus
thousands Of Jewish children are
starving in the war zone. Thousands Of
old Jewish men and women are dying Of
cold and hunger in the streets Of Russia,
Poland, and Galicia Thousands of jew
ish maidens, threatened with danger worse
than death, are crying to God in their
terror"
