GASOLINE MAY SOAR HIGHER
Eastern Producers Say There is An
Oil Famine Here-Dispute the
Washington Figures.

New York, Jan 11.-"An oil famine
is not coming. 1t is here" said oil
men in Bayonne, connected with the
Standard and Tidewater companies,
yesterday. They said that the price
of gasoline would continue to soar the
next few months at least, and disputed
the figures recently given out at
Washington with the announcement
that the government was to investi-
gate the increased price of gasoline.
Washington figures make it appear
that the price of gasoline is being ad-
vanced in the face of increased sup
plies of crude petroleum." one oil man
said. But not all crude petroleum
yields the same percentage of gaso-
line.
Where there is increased produc-
tion it consists almost entirely of
crudes, which yield only small per-
centage of gasoline"

fused to Furnish Train Guard.

Ell Paso, Tex, Jan 12-Seventeen
persons, all believed to have been
Americans, were killed by Mexican
bandits yesterday, after being taken
from a Mexico Northwestern train
fifty miles west of Chihuahua and
stripped of their clothing, according
to message received here tonight by
H. c. Myles, a British vice-consul here,

were travelling from Chihuahua City
to Cusihui Piachic. chihuahua, carried
thousands of dollars in currency and
large quantity of supplies sent by the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany to its mines in Cusihuiriachic
1t is believed here that all the fif-
teen American mining men known by
means of check on Mexican pass

were on board the looted train.
Thomas M. Holmes, the only known
survivor. said, however, in his brief
telegram giving the first news of the
raid, that he counted seventeen Amer
leans taken from the train
Mexicans Were Villa Followers.
1t is supposed the bandits belonged
to the forces of Gen. Jose Rodriguez,
Villa supporter, known to be operating
in Chihuahua against the de facto gov
eminent. Almost Immediately after the
first news of the raid was received
censorship was imposed between Jua-
rez and Chihuahua City by the Carran-
"a officials. This action was taken, it
was said. until the story could be
verified from official Mexican sources"
Taken from Train.
According to the brief message re-
ceived here, the train bearing the
Americans was stopped by the bandits
at Kilometer 6S, about fifty miles west
OF chihuahua City. The Americans
were taken from the train, stripped
and lined up along the cars for execu-
tion. Holmes, it is said was on the
extreme end of the line. AS the firing
squad detailed by the bandit leader
took position, it is reported Holmes
broke away and fed into the desert.
With feet and body cut and bleeding
from the stones and sharp cactus he
ran without looking back until he no
longer heard the whistle of bullets or
the sound of firing.
