DEMAND INQUIRY
IN OIL SHORTAGE

Stirred by vague reports of serious
situation regarding the country's oil
supply, Congress is seeking all the
facts in an effort to provide remedy.
Three efforts are now under way to
get before Congress and the country
the truth regarding oil, upon an ade-
quate supply of which a great deal OF
war activity depends
Call Federal Officials.
These efforts are:
A demand that the Bureau of Mines
furnish figures on the production. con-
sumption, and reserve on hand OF
crude oil.
Calling Of Fuel Administrator Gar
field and his aides before the Senate
Finance Committee to explain in de-
tail the autoless Sunday order and the
reason it was confined to the district
east of the Mississippi river.
Appeals to President Wilson and
members of his Cabinet to straighten
out the tangIe between House and
Senate on the oil land leasing bill.
Figures Garfield has submitted
forecast a deficit Of 100000 barrels
this year in gasolene. Figures COM
piled by oil men for the finance COM
mittee show daily depletion of. the
crude oil reserves of 60,O00 barrels.
Members Of Congress from oil pro-
ducinG States declare production is
Iessening, and they blame a Govern
mental policy for this condition
Conferees Are DcadIOeked.
The Senate passed a bill providing
public lands bearing oil might be
leased to private capital. The House
rejected the whole bill, and substi-
tuted one providing private capital
might keep and continue to operate
wells already drilled on the public
domain, by paying one-eighth of the
oil to the Government Future de-
velopment. under the House bill, must
be strictly regulated by the Govern
ment in the public interest No lease
can be given which does not safe
guard from private monopoly the pub
lie lands. House and Senate conferees
are deadlocked on the two bills.
House conferees- declare President
Wilson will veto the Senate bill IL 1t
Is presented to him. They have called
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels and
Secretary OF the Interior Lane to tell
them next week what effect passage
of the Senate bill would have on the
Governments oil reserves.
Daniels, according to Congressman
Ferris, author OF the House bill. fears
the Senate bill would open California
naval oil reserves to private monopol-
lists, who could then charge the Gov
ernment whatever they liked for the
oil.

AIN regard to a successful kero-
sene carburetor for Ford cars. II de-
pends on what you mean by entirely
successful. Dozens Of carburetors and
devices on Fords handle the heavy
fuel very well. Kerosene will not
damage a Ford in any way. The
only objection is that fiexibility may
be reduced and possibly greater car
bon deposits made. A gallon of kero-
sene with good carburetor device
should furnish at least as much and
possibly a little more mileage than
gasolene. 1t depends upon ADJUST
ment and the device used.

one over on H, e. Cantillon, presi-
dent of the Minneapolis club of the
American association, Is going the
rounds in baseball circles in north

Anxious to plug up a hole in his
infield, Cantillon made Tony a fat
tering offer. Tony, however, was sat-
isfed at that time to remain with
the Chisholm team. and sent his
brother, Teddy. to Minneapolis. In
his first weeks play, Teddy literally
burned up the association. and Cam
tillon, hearing that he had a broth
er playing ball in northern Minneso-
ia, sent him contract. Now, Tony
is going to sign with the Millers.
Thus far Cantillon is not certain
which Burgwald is the man he want
ed, but says he is not going to take
any chances and will keep both men.
Tony and Ted Burgwald were
members of the Superior club of the
Northern league in 1915, and are we'll

for q big year, as he is covering
the initial sack as in the days of

handicapped in his playing by

ailment is not apparent this sea-
son. He was a great disappoint-
ment at bat last year, too, espe-
cially with runners on bases,
but this season he has shown a
big improvement in his stick
work. He is also fielding in the

Rudolph returned his contract and
