4. T. Beeler, vice president of the new
LOUISVILLE MANSFIELD LEAD 4
ZINC SYNDICATE. He is the maj
who, eleven years ago, while Il prac-
ticing dentist in an Oklahoma town,
became interested in western oil de-
velopment. With holdings in 157 oil
wells after he had become successful
in that game Dr. Beeler had wide OPP
portunities TO observe the possibilities
and eXigencies of that business, or
game, as it may rightly be called. He
saw men carried up into the realm of
sudden riches; he saw hopes fulfilled
beyond their own limits. But he saw
the other side, too, of the oil game
its uncertainty, and the ruin that this
uncertainty brought to some.
One day DR.. Beeler heard about the
strike made in the famous Joplin zinc
ore district. He began studying the
possibilities of the new found OppOr-
tunity. He reflected that in the oil
business, when we'll was drilled no
mortal could with certainty tell which
of four things would be the result
Oil, water, gas or hole in the ground.
He reflected that an oil well, drilled
from LOO to $500 feet in the ground,
cost from $1,000 to $4,000 before its
real promise was known. And then
he compared this with data he had
gathered about the mining industry, in
which natures store of wealth liz
comparatively close to the surface a
covers great areas, necessitating, a.
proportion, a small initial outlay. He
applied this comparison particularly to
what he had heard about the Joplin
Mansfield fields.
Dr. Beeler was not long in making
Kansas City that the project, which Is
now being carried to every state in
the Union, had it's inception. Dr.
Beeler had selected partner, severed
his connections with the oil fields, and
had employed an agent, versed in the
technique of such an undertaking, tn
investigate opportunities in the Joplin
district.
But it was by chance that the real
opportunity was found. One day,
when DIR. Beeler's emissary was fruit
lessly pickering with people in the
field to which prospectors were al
ready swarming, an old man called
him aside.
"If you want to see an unworked To-
cality, want TO show you something
said the old man.
As the result of the investigation
and assaying which followed, DR.. Beel-
er, his partner and several notaries,

Paris, Aug. 30.-(By A. P.)-The
report of Charles r. Crane and Hence
G. King, bearing on their investigation
Of conditions in the Near East. has been
submitted to the American delegation
in three sections. The first relates to
Syria, the second to Mesopotamia, the
third to non Arabic speaking Turkey.
The American commissioners said
their report did not necessarily advise

key, but it is believed from their dis
cussions that they. have reported that,
In their opinion, much more than Ar
menia and Constantinople should be
included in the American mandate, if
the United States decides to accept it.
The commissioners discussed with the
Associated Press the results of their
conferences with delegations throughout
Syria and other parts of Asia Minor.
The Syrians generally hold that Pal
estine should be included in Syria, to
afford a united country, ard oppose the
Zionist movement, under, the contention
that the Jews form only 1u per cent of
the population of Palestine at the pres
ent time, and the Moslems fear an in
fiux from other countries.
Apparently there is majority sen :
timent throughout Turkey favoring
foreign mandates as the best means for
rehabilitating the country and, except
in portions of Lebanon, where the
French are favored, the commissioners
saw there seems to be an overwhelming
sentiment for United Stetes mandate.
