London, Jan. 25.-The demand of
the press for more stringent block.

The weekend of development work
in the eastern fields was no more fruit

with the exception Of the 300-barrel
producer completed by the United
Fuel Gas Company on the Walker

Is "a scarcity OF new territory. When,
Eastern operators heard Of the big
gusheY strike in the Gushing field they
agreed that the hope for another ad-
vance in the market at an early date
had been dissipated. The Cushing
field in Oklahoma was largely respon.
sible for the depression, of more than
a year ago and, it has only recently
recovered from the great food of oil.
After the production Of that field had
dropped from around close to 100000
barrels day to S5 900 barrels, itwas

by neighbors. Two small children,
who usually occupied the room where
the fire started were not at home at
the time of the fire. They were
spending the night with friends.

CITIZENS ASK that
THERE Be LIGHT

Numerous protests are being made
today by citizens against the turn
ing off of the arch of lights in the
down town section. 1t was pointed
out that the down town streets were
as dark last night as if the city were
preparing for a raid from the "mys-
terious aeroplane. The council at
the last session ordered the lights
turned off, believing that the new
gas filled arc would give the city
sufficient light. By turning off the
arches the city saves $50 per month,
but several citizens stated today that
if the city wants to save money on
lights, the chain of lights along the
lake shore where there is no path,
should be turned off during the win
ter months.
