PRESIDENT
 CONDUCTSSERV|CE
/ By Associated Press

Aboard Steamship Parismina. Noven- Der 21.-"The troubles of my heart are enlarged; oh bring me out of my dis tress." !.
 So read the President-eleet of the Uni ted States this evening from the 25th Psalm as he led the religious ser vices in the women's saloon of the ship which is taking him to the Canal zone, to companions gathered about him as he solemnly intoned the words of David.
 There seems peculiar and dramatic significance to the simple lines he had deliberately selected from the appeal of the Psalmist, and as he read, it became the personal prayer of Senator Harding himself as he faces tremendous prob lcms
 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. Consider mine enemies for they are many and they hate with cruel hatred. Let integrity and uprightousness preserve me; for 1 wait on Thee.'
 Senator Harding made it clear that the verses revealed and reflected bis at titude toward the assumption of the presidency. and his further prayer, quoting from the same Psalm, was:
 Remember not the sin of my youth nor my transgressions; according to Thy mercy remember Thou me for Thy good nes sake, oh, Lordi''
 The service was held at 5 ?. m. Sen- ator Freiinghuysen of New Jersey acted as deacon, announcing the hymn. After the President-elect had read the 18th Psalm there was another hymn and re- sponsive reading followed, Senator Hard ing leading. The singing of America closed the services.

CHINESE TONG WAR
 1 DUE IN NEW YORK
One Oriental Killed; Reserves Are Out; Tourists Scamper
 to Cover
By Associated Press

New York November 21.--Fear of a Tong feud in Chinatown, resulting from the assassination tonight of Lee Young. expelled member of the Hip Sing Tong and the first Chinese murdered in tho district in the last ten years, caused tha police to exclude sightseers ard kept Chinatown with it's swarms of lobby gows and hatchet men on edge for sev- eral hours.
 Young, whose right name was said 10 be Long Young, was a former service man. His white wife said he had a premonition of death. Just before he left the house to go to a poolroom run by two Korean brothers. he remarked: "l feel as if something is going to happen to me-
 Forty Chinamen were in the poolroo'n when Young's assassn crept up behind him and fired three dunn -dum bullets into his back. IIe dropped dead with out having seen his assailant. Those in the marrow, crowded thoroughfare hear ing the shots, scampered in all directions for shelter.
 Sightseeing busses drove hurriedly out of the war zone" leaving behind many passengers who had started on a foot tour of the district. Many sightseers were caught in the rush of panic-stricken Orientals, When police reserves and headquarters detectives reached the scene the streets were deserted. They made prisoners of all Chinese found in the bedrooms.
 The police are working on the theory that Young was expelled from the Hip Sing Tong because he revealed its se- crets. Detectives tried to learn if the secrets were given to rival societies, in which event it was expected the peace agreement signed some time ago with the eating of roast pig would be shattered.

SOUTHERN INDIANA
MAY Be SOURCE OF

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. PRO
duction of oil from Indiana shale may
soon become one of the leading indus
tries of southern Indiana, according
to officials of the state conservation
department.
Realizing the seriousness of the sit
uation likely to be produced by the
rapidly diminishing petroleum supplies
of the country, one of the leading auto
mobile manufacturing companies of
the United States. with large plant
at Philadelphia, is turning its atten-
ton toward oil extraction from 1ndi-
ana shale Following a visit to the
laboratories of the geology division of
the conservation department, repre-
sentative of the company purchased a
large tract of land in the shale district
near New Albany.
Erect. Experiment Plant.
The site selected by the company,
after consultation with DR.. w. n. Lo-
gan. state geologist, is near the border
of Floyd and Clark counties. The com
pany proposes to erect an experiment
plant costing about 100000 and hav.
ing an hourly capacity of several tons
of shale at once.
Shale districts in Indiana cover ap'
proximately 800 square miles of terri
tory in Clark. Floyd. Jennings, Scott
and Bartholomew counties. The for
nation is about 125 feet thick and is
one of the largest in the United States
Tests Of the shale have shown that it
will produce from thirty to thirty-fiye
gallons of oil to a ton
DR. Logan is of the opinion that the
extraction of oil from the shaie' can
be made a paying proposition.
By-Products Pay Excuses.
THE indications are" said DR.. Lo.

Sufficient carbon can be obtained
from the shaie according to DR.. Lo

the oil. Other economies in the pro
duction of oil from this source will
probably be developed in case the
