HOT HUNT FOR EASY MONEY

1T is stated that 500 wells have late
" been sunk in new territory in Texas
to find oil, the great majority of them
failing to produce. They penetrate to
a depth of 5000 feet, and it is stated
further that the cost of these test wells
is about $4,000 each, although those
figures seem too high. However, the
cost of doing things in any line is eX-
traOrdinarily high these days. Nat
urally the thought must come to some
of the people who have collection OF
non-producing holes in the ground.
costing $4,000 each that some return
for their money might be had by sell
ing oil stock based upon these holes.
Of course, there are laws against stock
operations of that kind, but there is
some evasion of the law, not as to
Texas alone. but with reference also to
other states The ST Louis Post-Dls-
patch, commenting editoriaily on
worthless oil stocks, says
1.-TWO Wyoming state officials have
set remarkable example for other
officials if they are of a mind to treat
the public fairly. Frank l.. HouX.
secretary of state, and ID. a. Patton,
attorney general, have issued separate
reports warning the people everywhere
that so per cent of the securities issued
by oil companies organized under the
laws of that state are without value.
Attorney General Patton, in his report,
says that good many of the com
panies are organized by men who have
obtained at low price land on which
there is no likelihood of striking oil. ;"
1t is true that there are some very
i good oil stocks. but the point is that
buyers should know what they are buy
ing They should use more care than
taking the word of any agent who
comes along. They should have an
adequate degree Of positive informal
ton about the property represented.
Otherwise the loss of their money is

CARRA|lA EXPECTS
 PEACEFUL ELECTION
 BY MEXICAN PEOPLE
FRepusliean A. p. Leased wirel

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 2-Discussing the forthcoming elections on Saturday with Mexico City newspaper men in Querato, President Carranza declared there was no reason to anticipate other than peaceful voting throughout the republic and expressed the belief that candidates for the presidency should begin announcing themselves and shaping their campaigns. >A
 Carranza reiterated emphatically that he would not be a third term candidate, asserting that he preferred to turn the office over to man elected by popular vote and. to retire to pri- vate life.
 He said that he deemed the bill re- gently introduced in the senate grant ing amnesty to all former enemies of the government who are now support ing it in good faith, to be unwise al present. He thought, however, that such leniency might be extended after the elections.
 President Carranza explained that at present persons who wish to return to the republic have no difficulty ir doing so if they can show proper attitude. The president was optimistic with respect to governmental affairs asserting he believed the nationa treasury would be in excellent shap, 1 at election time.
 President Carranza's declaration with respect to the election is expected to cause several potential candidates to announce themselves soon. The. have withheld formal announcement as result of the presidents reques several months ago that such an l nouncement be not made until neare the election date.

SHARP REbUKE
 GIVEN EASTERN COAL DEALERS
Government Action Will Apply to Dealers as We'll as Miners, Attorney Gen. eral Palmer Tells Eastern Association
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Sugges- tion from the Wholesale Coal Trade association of New York that the gov. ernment should not fix a maximum price for coal or interfere with the normal source of supply and demand during the strike, brought from Attor- ney General Palmer today the vigor- ous assertion that he would take the same action against persons enhancing prices as was taken against the union officers.
 ''The action of the government was taken solely in the general public in- terest," MT. Palmer declared. "and shall not permit it to be used directly or indirectly for the benefit of the em- ployers' side of the controversy"
 W. A Marshall, president of the as- sociation, wrote MT. Palmer recom- mending that miners who want to work be given protection and that coal consumers be allowed to obtain coal through the usual normal, channels. He asserted that with adequate pro- lection enough coal would be produced to meet the emergency; that fixing a maximum price would curtail the op- orators ability to meet abnormal pro- duction costs caused by the strike, and discourage their efforts to continue work; that priority lists would over stock certain consumers and allow others to go without, and that the fuel control act would be used to prevent attempts at profiteering.
 'I am in receipt of your letter and
 amazed by it's contents" the attorney
 general replied.
 While, of course, proper protection
 win be given to all miners who are
 willing to continue at work, it must
 be perfectly plain to you that ever
 under such conditions the supply o
 coal must be far from normal. Youl
 proposition amounts, in effect, to {
 declaration that coal dealers should be permitted to take advantage O
 these abnormal conditions and hav' their prices based entirely upon th' law of supply and demand. which i. only another way of saying that the! should be permitted to charge the pub
 lie whatever they please.
 The demand for fuel will be con stantly increasing and with the sup ply decreasing. unless there is gov ernment regulation, prices charged t the public will be outrageous and tn profits accruing to dealers uncon sciouable- You ought to be quite a willing as other citizens to co-operat
 in the general public welfare in thi
 emergency, even to the extent of sac s rificing profits.
 "The action of the government i 2 restraining the officers of the min workers union from furthering tn strike order already issued was take solely in the public interest and sha
 not permit it to be used directly c indirectly for the benefit of the em 5 ployers' side of the controversy. any advantage shah be taken of pres
 ent conditions by any arrangement c agreement of two or more persons {
 restrict either production or distribu tion in order to enhance the price ( a fuel, I shall, without hesitation, talk e precisely the same action against sue
 persons as has been taken against th . mine workers union"

[Repubiican A. p. Leased Wirel
 MACON, Ga., Nov. 2.-Paul Jones, a negro, accused of attack ing a white woman near the site of Camp Harris Sunday afternoon, was burned to death by a mob at the scene of the crime shortly after midnight.
 The negro was arrested by two deputy sneriffs, but the mob quickly formed, compelling the of- ficers to take refuge in a box car. Sheriff Hicks, learning of the plight of his deputies, went to the scene and was permitted by the mob, which numbered a thousand or moro, to take the negro to the home of the woman for identifiea- ton. She identified him, it is said, from a blood mark she had purpeseiy placed on his clothing. The crowd, refusing to be ealmed by the pleas of the sheriff, then seized the negro and fired fifty or more bullets into his body, after which it was saturated with easo- line and the torch applied. The negro was still alive after this burned off and more gasoline was thrown on the body. which soon was burned to . eharred mass.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 2 - Baptist churches throughout the country were urged to spurn money offered by profiteers, "the meanest kind of thieves" in a statement issued tonight by Rev. Samuel Zane Bat ten, secretary of social service education for the American Bap- list publication society.
 "Every. Baptist church should know whether any of its members are engaged in this nefarious busi- ness of profiteerins,' Said Dr. Batten. "The church should re- fuse to touch the dirty money of these people. no self respecting church would tolerate in its mem bership a person known to be guilty of highway robbery or horse stealing and the sin of profitesrine is meaner, blacker and more sim ful than either of these. The church must make the will of God very plain on this subject"
