WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.--~Every

the exception Of that of the United
States, is reaching out for new petro-

Doheny, president Of the Mexican

Mr.. DohcnY said he learned, while
in Europe a few weeks ago, that the
British government had acquired So
per cent of the stock Of the Anglo
Persian Oil Company, controlling S.
600 square miles of rich oil territory.
"Britan will get the mandate for the
government of Masopotamia, with its
great oil fields" he added. "while the
newspapers within a day or two have

CLOSING ORDER
FOR I THEATERS
WILL Be TESTED
Eastern Theatrical Producer
Files Suit in Federal Court
To Restrain Fuel
Committee.

In a case which will determine
whether or not the focal federal fuel
board has the authority to close the
Omaha theaters in order to conserve
fuel, during the period the nation is
facing coal famine. petition was
filed i'll the district court of the
United States yesterday afternoon,
asking for an order restraining the
fuel board, the Brandeis Investment
Co.. H. A. Wolf Co., and Clinton
J: Sutphen, theater manager, from
closing the theater on December
10, II, Il and 13 of December.
Henry w. Savage. an eastern
theatrical producer and manager, is
named as plaintiff in the case. He
is represented by James c. Kinsler,
an Omaha attorney. The hearing
has been set for $50 o'clock this
morning.
Question Committees Authority.
The petition alleges the plaintiff
has a written contract with the
Brandeis theater to present a pla '
entitled. Head Over Heels" by
Mltzi Hajos and 50 other players,
and that the local federal fuel board
is acting without proper authority
and out of its Jurisdiction when it
orders the doors of the playhouse
closed on the nights named in the
contract between the plaintiff and
the manager of the theater.
Attention is called to the fact that
the purpose of the proclamation of
Harry A. Garfield, fuel administra-
tor OF the United States, was for the
avowed and expressed object of
conserving coal and coke.
Use No Coal.
1t is alleged the theater will be
heated on the nights and days named
with oil. and that calcium lights will
be used. Despite this plan, it is
pointed cut that the theater man
agement has announced a purpose
to keep the house closed until the
receipt of further orders from the
tuel board, The defendants con-
cede the foregoing representations
10 De true, reads the petition, but
they still refuse to permit the the
ater to be opened and used accord.
ing to the contract.
Plaintiff further shows to the
court that it has appeared before
the local federal fuel board and re-
it to modify or revoke said
order requiring the theater to be
closed. and has advised the board
that the performances will be pro-
duced without the use of coal and
coke or electric lights or gas, or any
other product of coal or coke, and |
that it will use calcium lights and
fuel oil"

HIGH PRICES or
SUGAR BLAMED
ON LOCAL FIRMS
Wholesalers, Testifying at
Federal Investigation, Tell
of Powerful Influence of
Sugar Jobbers.

The high price of sugar in Omaha
and the limited supply here are due
directly to the powerful influence
of local jobbers and their manipula-
'tions through the Missouri River
Jobbers' association, according to
the testimony of Thomas w. Cullen
of the Cullen Brokerage company
and e. c. Williams of the Williams
Murphy company at the federal i'll
vestigation begun yesterday morning
by United States District Attorney
Allen.
Mr.. Cullen and Mr.. Williams both
charged discrimination on the part
'of Omaha jobbers in the matter of
distribution on the local market.
Both witnesses, who declared they
conducted wholesale grocery estab-
lishments, asserted they had been
unable to obtain sugar for the last
three months.
Don't Belong to Body.
Neither of them is identified with
the Missouri River Jobbers' associ-
alton, it was asserted in reply to
questions put by Mr.. Allen.
Mr.. Williams declared he did not
believe the sugar was being received
i'll Omaha for the reason that the al
lotments assigned to this territory
under the zone system created by
the board of equalization were
based on the consumption in previ-
Gus years and months. This, the
witness asserted, had been curtailed
by designing jobbers, who have sue
ceeded in keeping the price up by
reason of the short supply. for which
the jobbers were held responsible.
i Says Refused Sugar.
"They simply refused to let us
have the sugar" said Mr.. Williams.
and no explanation was offered.
Repeated efforts have been made bv
our firm to procure sugar for ouf
customers. Persistently we have
been refused. Attempts have been
