tenants. A recent letter, setting
forth some Of his ideas about farm

You will not offer it to anyone

GASOLINE PRICE
FIXING CHARGED
Report That Standard Oil
Stored 70,0OO,O0O Barrels at
Low Cost
Special to the Telegraph

Special to the Telegraph
Tulsa, Oklahoma, May "A thor
ouSh investigation to determine why
the price of gasoline has increased
from cents gallon last August to
10 cents in st. Louis and '25 to 80
cents elsewhere. leads to the conclu-
sion that it is due principally to
manipulation by Standard Oil cor
porations.
Last year when the price of crude
oil, from which gasoline is refined,
was 80 to 35 cents barrel, STANDARD
Oil subsidiaries bought and stored in
Oklahoma not less than 70.000.000
barrels. This same oil is selling in
the market to-day at 50 to $2.15 a
barrel Standard Oil profit, allowing
10 cents barrel for carrying costs, is
not less than $3.50 a barrel, or more
than $1O0,000,000 on the oil put in
storage less than a year ago.
Nearly everybody in the oil and
gasoline industry here says that the
high price of gasoline is due to the
law of supply and demand. But, in
the same breath, they say the price
of crude oil in the midcontinent field
is fixed absolutely by the posted bid
OIL the Pfalfle oll ana Gas Company,
a Standard Oil subsidiary.
Production of crude oil in this field
in 1915 was about 107, 100000 barrels
as against 102.000,000 in 1914, and
63,0O0,00 in 1918. Producers expect
a decrease of 3 per cent. this year as
compared with last year, unless new
pools are tapped.
Meantime, the Standard Oil Com
pany has at least 100, 100000 barrels
stored in tanks in Oklahoma.
Summary of the Situation
Following is a summary of the
situation:
a 42-gallon barrel of Cushing crude
oil will produce, of gasoline, at least
10R gallons.
Last year the Standard Oil bought
and stored in Oklahoma 70,00O,000
barrels of Cushing crude oil at a cost
with carrying charges, or barrel, 40
cents each.
Cost of refining a barrel of crude
oil is not in excess of % cents.
Byproducts - Kerosene, fuel oil,
lubricating oil, etc, will more than
pay cost of refining.
Standard will market the 101a gal
Ions of gasoline at an average price
of. per gallon, 20 cents.
For the 40 cent barrel of crude oil
it will receive from gasoline alone
$40, its net profit being not less than
s1.60 on the barrel of crude oil.
Profits on it's 70,000,000 barrels of
stored crude oil, at present market
prices, $112, 100000.

He helped her put on her coat
and escorted her as far as the foot
steps.
Here he raised his hat and bade
her good afternoon.
Seated in the uptown train, Myra
tried TO fix her thoughts on what
had happened. She strove to bring
back the thrill that she had felt
when Martin had praised the plot of
her story.

it" - she whispered the words to
herself, but the emotion they had
aroused did not return. She did not
even recall how the speaker had
looked when he uttered them.
For uppermost in her mind was
the recollection of the expression of
surprise in her husbands eyes as
they met hers and the presence of
the slender figure at his side.

Harrasforo, however, stuck to his
own opinion that this affair was as ex-

while he prepared for their journey
whether he would be disappointed OF
relieved If Mary failed to keep heI

Still, he was rather relieved when

He went to the door,

flung her arms about him. You are

But he felt that he had to make the

a little afraid of Mona. He could see,
too, that she was greatly excited; that
she was, indeed, almost hysterical. He
was afraid of rousing her into pas
that Mary might come at any moment;
BY this time he was convinced tnat II
