ST. PETERSBURG. Fla, February %.
A man was arrested here late yester-
day as DR." J. Grant Lyman of New

lease. The authorities expect to hold him
until officers from New York arrive, in
an effort to identify him.
W. H. Smith, who sold the man in jail
a yacht. said he knew him as MI Put-
man. Letters found on his person were
addressed to y. II. Putnam 1t was
under the firm name of John II. Putnam
& Co that Lyman is alleged to have
swindled clients out of more than $780,
600 in a stock jobbing scheme.

SAVING BIRDS CREDITED
TO AUDUBON SOCIETIES
Rev. H. K. Job Gives Illustrated
Lecture, and States That More
Protective Laws Are Needed.

That the Audubon societies are large
ly responsible for the conservation OF
bird life in this country was empha
sized by Rev. H. X. Job of the National
Association of Audubon Societies in an
illustrated lecture before the local So
ciety at meeting at the Mckinley
Manual Training School last evening.
Although additional protective laws
are needed, he said. the good effects of
laws already in force are being felt.
He told of one warden who was offered
$1,000 to leave his reservation unguard-
ed for three days, so that plumage hun
tiers could make their ravages.
we do not say that one cannot kill
a bird upon any pretext,' explained Mr..
Job. but they are 90 beautiful and SO
necessary to our welfare that we
should conserve all birds and wild
fowl"
With motion pictures and words Mr..
Job gave an intimate view of the water
birds of the gulf coast, showing thou
sands of wild game birds as well as
other kinds
one of the most interesting features
was a film showing Col Roosevelt Wis
iting reserves which he had been in
strumental, as President of the United
States, in having set aside. Mr.. Job
explained that Col. Roosevelt had will
lngly placed himself under the camera
mans big stick of dictatorship in
order to show his interest in the birds.

Shows Sidelights on Birds.

The lecturer showed photographs Civ
ing interesting sidelights on the lives
of birds; told. for instance, how the
man-o-war birds are the LATEST of
birds, not leaving their roosts until 9
or 10 o'clock in the morning-long after
their other feathered brothers.
Then he showed the cunning little
"noddy' birds taking boat ride in an
empty rowboat, fairly covering the lit
tie vessel and apparently enjoying the
motion of the waves beneath them.
Now and again during the display of
birds along the coast line a skeleton
of ship would appear in view, grim
reminder of some wreck of an carrier
date But the birds which perched on
the decaying ribs and plumed them
selves seemed to give no thought OF the
tragedies.
Wild geese wild ducks, cranes, peli-
cans, and innumerable other species
were shown. 1t seemed, indeed, bird
lovers paradise.
One of the films was shown for the
first time One of the most spectacular
sights was that of thousands of BIRDS
flying around and all within the shell
ter (and protection of the American
flag.
President Job Barnard presided.

Different With Solid Minerals.

with solid minerals the case is diff
ferent. A man owns all of the coal
under his own land, and for another
man to tunnel under and take it is
robbery. but to pump away his oil is
legal. On this distinction the whole
oil industry is based.
"As a result the oil men simply pro-
duce all the oil they can, whether it is
wanted or not. A few years ago we
were producing thirty to forty millions
of barrels of oil year, and this was
sufficient, for the chief use was TOR
distilling out the kerosene. with little
thought to the IL per cent of gasoline
in it. Four million barrels of gasoline
a year was all there was to be had.
by a strange coincidence, just at
the time when automobiles and motor
boats began to use great quantities OF
gasoline the new oil fields of Illinois
and Oklahoma were developed, and we
are now producing nearly 3Oo,000,o0o
barrels year. More than that, by care
full refining we are getting twice as
much gasoline per barrel of crude OIL
as we used to. With all that increase,
automobiles, motor boats and other
uses increase still faster. and there is
now not enough gasoline to go around.
Thinks Production Will Decline.
Further, DIR. Day thinks oil produc-
ton has reached it's height and will
now decline.
"Fortunately, cracking processes
can be used for furnishing plenty of
gasoline We use only a fifth of each
barrel of crude oil for gasoline That's
all the gasoline there is in 1t, but the
remaining four-fifths can be cracked
up largely into gasoline. Such proc
ess, invented by Burton. is now add
ing 10000 more barrels of gasoline
year, and the Rittman process, de-
veioped by the bureau of mines. Will
add as much more as we will need.

sermons appeared in about 1,500 news

Santa Fe train en- route to New York.
Heart disease was given as the cause.

burgh he founded the Watch-Tower
Bible and Tract society, and then
moved to Brooklyn. Pastor" Rus
sells headquarters remained in Brook
lyn and London. There were churches
in many other cities. The Interna-

thousands of members all over the
world. was another of his organiza-

ABSORPTION BEING PLANNED
BY Ohio Cities Gas and Three subsid-
iaries at Columbus.

Columbus, O.-Plans are being per
fected for consolidation of the Co
lumbus Producing Co., Columbus Oil
and Fuel Co. and The Boone Royalty
Co., with the Ohio Cities Gas Co.. OF
which they now are subsidiaries. The
Ohio Cities owns all the capital stock
of the three companies. Under the
consolidation plan, the method OF
ownership will be direct, instead OF
through holding capital stock The
Ohio Cities will then have actual title
to all assets of the three companies
and their business operations will be
continued as divisions of the Ohio
Cities.
Under the present form of organiza
ton of the Ohio Cities and its subsid.
iaries, earnings of the subsidiaries are
assessed under the income tax act and
then again assessed when paid as divi
dends to the Ohio Cities Co. All the
earnings of the three subsidiaries thus
are twice taxed. The savings to be
effected by consolidation represent
$4,000 this year.
