Garfield Worsted Mills Officials Issue Denial Of
 Any German Connection

New York, April 12.--A dental was issued in this city of the statement made in Washington a fortnight ago by the alien property custodian that the Garfield worsted mills of Garfield, N. J.. had been taken over by the gov ernment because they were owned hy Germans, and that governing board had been appointed to conduct the ,.om- panys business.
 The statement of the company was given out by an accredited represen- tatiye. and it set forth specifically that the management of the Garfield mills is made up entirely of Americans; that it has no connection with the wooden cartel of the German government; that it is not owned by Germans; that it has not been seized, and that there IS no reason to suspect it, and that it's busi- ness is not being conducted by the alien property custodian.
 It is true that considerable stock or the company is owned by alien enemies, the statement continues. but these per- sons are not in this coutry do not con trol the mill, and have no part in it's management

and development. It is recognized, and
 in fact frankly acknowledged, by lead
 CTS in the oil business that prospecting
 with intent to development has involved
 the loss of many millions. And yet the
 rewards are so rich when prospecting
 and development are successful as in the
 case with gold, that capital is always
 found in plenty for undertakings of this
 kind
 They are still speaking in the financial
 district of an extraordinarily successful
 gamble to call it-which was made
 by the Tidewater Oil company. The com
 pany was persuaded to make small investment in Oklahoma Twenty thou- sand dollars covered the entire invest ment, and the hope was not strong that the placing of this money in Oklahoma would secure successful results. But it did. The corporation of which MT. Sim clair is president was not slow in talk ing advantage of the opportunity opened by the investment of s20000 by the Tide water company in Oklahoma property. The Sinclair company had every facility | for handling oil and was constructing q pipe line which could carry oil from the I Oklahoma district to Chicago. An offer l of $6,000, 900 for the property represented | by the investment of $20,0o0 was made | and the Tidewater people were not dis posed to procrastinate about accepting [ it. Therein is contained the romance of one of the greatest and most successful "gambles," as the oil men call 1t, In the oil industry.
