LITTLE MOTHER" OF
VOLUNTEERS TALKS

to bring a message to Omaha again,
she well rememberinw the reception
given her here years ago when she
was member OF the National Prison
congress,
Tears in Her Heart.
Il belong not to the world OF the
free, but to that world behind the
shadowy prison walls which most peo-
pie so seldom see. ! talk with tears
in my heart, for I know what sor-
row is. | think of those with am
billions dimmcd, hopes crushed and
names blackened--the men behind
prison bars, But even for those in the
darkest cells, in the deepest dungeons,
there is hope If they will but believe
in the wondcrous divine touch, feel it,
and put sin behind them. There is no
soul so blackened but that will some
time in life feel the need of the divine
touch OF God.
Sinners, according to Mrs Booth,
must rise up and work out their own
salvation. She declared that God
helps the man who helps himself"
At the close Of her address Mrs.
Booth announced that she had filled
her speaking engagement here in the
face of great sorrow, in that she
had received telegram in the morn
ing telling OF the death Of one who
had been as dear to her as mother
Mrs. Quincy Adams Shaw Of Boston.
To Help Local Volunteers.
=.
One OF Mrs. Booths objects in
coming to Omaha was to assist the
local Volunteers in their campaign
TOR funds for new permanent home.
She said that neither she nor her
husband have ever asked anything
for themselves for their work for the
organization, on the contrary, had
contributed all they received from
other sources.
She urged Omahans to give ali they
could spare toward the special col
lection for the general work OF the
Volunteers in Omaha and for the aid
OF prisoners when they have COM
pleted their sentences and require
help to get new start in life.
Mrs. Booth is a stately looking
+ Nohiati, a ioiACtQt SPCdhtly WIN titC
accent of the Englishwoman. She
knows the wealthy and leisure class
as well as the dark and seamy side OF
life. She is said to be as much at
home on Fifth avenue as in the slums
OF New York, where she has visited
countless times In her charity work
On one occasion she was entertained
at Newport by the New York society
leader. Mrs. Belmont, and her daugh-
ter, the duchess Of Marlborough, the
latter a prominent social worker in
England.
Rev. Edwin II. Jenks delivered the
invocation and introduced Mrs. Booth
and the other speakers. The work OF
the Volunteers OF America was lauded
by Rev. Charles z. Cobbey and Rev.
Hugh B. Speer, who said that the or
ganization in its own way accom-
plished just as much good as the
church.
A solo was sung by Mrs. Charles
II. Wright.
Mrs. Booth stated that she had per-
formed, the marriage ceremony which
had united Major and Mrs. McCor-
mack and later had christened their
child. Alice, consecrating her to Gods
work, Alice is now l6 and Is assist
ing her father and mother in the local
work

Surrender Clause Sustained

In the case Of the Carter OH COM
panY versus MCAlurray, Judge Cot
teTal yesterday decided orally another
case involving the surrender clause
1le held that the court had jurisii'-
ton researches Of the assignment
question and What the assignment OF
IN otf-'and gas lease was more than
the assignment of a mere choice In
action.
He also held sustained the lease re-
rardless Of the surrea<cr clause and
regar Hess of the Oklahoma decision
on this question He said that he felt
bound by the decision of the United
States supreme court and that il made
10 difference that in one state the
lease was supposed to convey freehold
interest and in another was supposed
to convey an interest that was called
by somc different name. That tlte ia-
teres. convened in each case was tho
same regardless of the name 10y which
II was designated.
He also went further than JudGe
Campbell and held that the date of
the lease in respect to decisiors OF
the supreme court of the state made
no difference. He found that IL was
necessary to pass on the effect pf the
modified surrender clause contained
IN this lease because the lessor nan
indicated his intention TO cancel be

an equivalent OF the oil shipped from
Mexico. Last year Mexico produced
about $500. 000 barrels of crude oil,
nearly all of which was exported to
fforoien countries TO be refined, as
Mexico has practically 10 refining ia
cilities outside Of few topping
plants. The United states imported
a bout u 100000 barrels of crude from
Mexico during 1916. over 100000
barrels were retained for domestic use
and large amount of the remainder
was shipped to Central and South
America Panama and Porto Rico.
Ships Are Scarce.
The most serious problem which
confronts Mexican oil companies is
the furnishing Of ships to transport
the oil to other countries. The pipe
line facilities in Mexico are such that
the producing districts are unable to
, produce TO their greatest extent. AL
tho the pipe lines are unable to han
die all of the oil produced, they are
able to bring il to the coast faster than
It can be taken away on account of the
shortage Of ships Oil is also brought
to the coast by means of barges, but
the amount handled in this manner
is comparatively small
Tampico Is the largest producing
district and the 1916 productions
amounted to over 20,00O,0O0 barrels.
| The TuXpam district ranks second
with about 100000 barrels, while
the Minhatitlan district produces
about 10000 barrels year.
Since 1904 there have been about
100, geo, 900 barrels of crude produced
in Mexico. The production In 1914
was 100000 barrels: 1906, 1897, 600
barrels; 1870 3,332,0 900 barrels: 1911,
l4,O51,0o0 barrels: 1914. 2l,000,00
barrels. and 1916, 10000 barrels.
Mexican crude is such that II has
to undergo refining processes before it
Is suitable for commercial purposes.
Many companies, including the stand
ard Oil company of New jersey, have
topping plants whore the crude is
skinned and sent TO this country for
further refining.
Mexico now ranks third as an oil
producing country. The United States

Price Should Advance.

Now that the latest menace to
market conditions has evaporated, and
1t is definitely known there is going
to be no strike it looks as tho the
market should advance and that
quickly.
If there is anyone in the Mid-Con-
tinent field who knows a reason why
there should not be an Immediate ad-
vance, it is the man who is trying to
put over tremendous deal involving
so many millions as to stag the
imagination.
This rumored deal has hung on for
weeks and may never materialize. 1t
will mean the purchase by STANDARD
interests of one of the largest produc-
ton companies in Kansas with pipe
lines and refineries galore.
Rumor has had it that the deal Will
cost the Standard, sS0,00O,000 which
Is going some, and here is hoping that
If there is any truth in it, 1t will soon
be made public and If not, that some
one will take a crack at the market.
There is no doubt but the Sinclair peo-
pie would put the price up were their
pipe lines completed.
1t is Mr. Sinclair that stands at the
head of the class as knowing the
needs of the producers in Oklahoma.

OIL MARKET QUOTATIONS.
ENGLAND DOES NOT
DEPEND ON MEX. OIL

Great Britain's navy depends upon
Mexico to the extent of only 20 per
cent to supply fuel oil for its warships
1t is to the United States for the most
part that Great Britain looks for her
supply, and, according to a statement
made by a member of the British ad
mlralty, Great Britain would not be
affected to any material extent If
Mexico shut down all her oil fields
Last year Mexico exported about
100000 barrels Of oil, mostly crude,
10 the entente powers. The United
States exported about 15,50O,O00 bar
rels to the entente powers, and could

SincIair-GuIf Statement.

The Sinclair-Gulf corporation has
made n statement subject to correc-
ton showing the property now owned
In the Mid Continent field and the
concession in Costa Rica. 1t puts the
total valuation of the property at
$21 100000 which seems low eonugh.
IT estimates the earnings for the COM
ing year at $1,000 600 from the pro-
ducing properties in the Mid Contin-
ent field alone. It gives the daily pro-
duction at 10000 barrels and provides
for a sinking fund to take care Of all
bonds by purchase or call at $40 with
interest.
The statement further says that
contracts have been let for the con
struction of 500 miles of eight inch
pipe line from the Mid Continent field
to the Gulf and plans are being
formulated for the construction of one
or more refineries served by this pipe
line. These bonds look like a gilt
edged investment.
Investors desiring TO investigate fur
ther can find the Sinclair statement
