TT is in caring for the needs
of it's patrons, be they big
Il OF little, which stamps the
Standard Oil Company Indiana)
as a service organization of the
first order.
Whether the product be major
one, as for instance, gasoline, or
one of the highly refined motor
oils, or a secondary one, such as
Standard Road Oil, facilities
have been provided by which
the patron, wherever he may
live, may get what he wants
with as little delay as possible,
and at a minimum of expense.
For many years Standard Road Oil
has been used by communities and in
dividuals In providing a semi-hard sur
face to highways. Roads so treated
are duStleSS, are not so easily affected
by rains, and carry heavier load with
less power than is possible where
plain dirt roads, however well cared
for, are used.
Recently it has been apparent that
many want to use this dust preventive
on the roads about their homes. Some
need but single barrel others two
or three, but these small amounts
they want badly.
As soon as it became apparent that
there was demand for Standard Road
Oil in small quantities, the Company
assigned to this product a sufficient
number of iron barrels to care for the
trade. These barrels are not sold but
are used merely to transport the oil;
to be returned as soon as they can be
emptied.
By thus cooperating with its patrons,
the Company can furnish small guam
titles of Standard Road Oil at a mini
mum price, and the user can get it IN
quantities of one barrel or thousand
barrels, without having to pay for the
container.
This is but one of the many ways in
which the highly specialized organiZa-
ton of the Standard Oil Company
Qndisns) serves the public, individually
and collectively, to the profit of all.

HOUSEEXPECTED
TO DEFEAT PLAN
Proposed Increase from 435 to
485 Finds Few Supporters
Anywhere.
LOSING STATES SPEAK
Cost of Increasing Representa-
tion is Held to Be Wholly
Pr0hibitive.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17--Lines were
sharply drawn tonight for a fight to-
morrow to defeat the reapportionment bill
which would increase the membership
OF the house Of representatives from 435
10 4s5
After final eheck-up, leaders an
nOunced that the measure reported would
be voted down decisiveiy and that a
substitute plan. holding seats to the
rresent total would be adopted by big
majority.
There seemed little sentiment for a
larger house Members from states
which would lose representation under
the shifting Of 12 seats from ii to eight
states, declared they would vote against
adding as representatives at cost OF
approximately $1,000, 600 a year, when
there IL a crying demand from all quar-
ters for governmental economy.
AS mapped out today, the program un-
der which the bill VIII he called up to-
morrow, provides for FIVE hours of de-
hate. While there was some objection
10 so much oratory, IL was agreed to
permit members 10 express their views
at length. and then by roll call vote
let the country know that the house is
blg enough as II stands
The Republican steering committee
was reported solidly against the In
crease not as a committee but as in
dlvlduals Southern Democrats, II was
said were not expected 10 oppose the
lower total as a body, as the shifting OF
seats would leave their present num-
ter intact.
tnder provisions OF the bill house
leaders expect TO he adopted the in
orcases will be as follows:
California. three Michigan. two; Ohio.
two. and Connecticut. New Jersey, North
Carolina Texas and Washington, one
each no make up this number with
out changing the 1875 total, Missouri
would lose two seats and the following
states one each: Indiana, Iowa. Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine. Mississippi,
\ Nebraska, Rhode Island and Vermont.
BY this arrangement the south would
gain i'm North Carolina and Texas, and
lose In Louisiana and Mississippi.

Elected President of Pan
American Federation.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 17.-Samuel
Gompers today was re- elected presi-
dent of the Pan-American Federation
of Labor. His election followed a
three hour debate in which there, was
split among the delegations, the
Mexicans, Saalvadorians and Guata-
malans voting against the unanimous
acceptance of the resolution nominat-
ing Mr.. Gompers.
y At the outset of the mornings ses-
sion. Mr.. Gompers was asked by the
Santo DOMINICAN delegation TO an
swer a question whether a telegram
protesting against the American oc-
cupation and demanding an immediate
evacuation of the island had been
sent in accordance with the resolution
approved by the labor congress last
Friday Mr.. Gompers replied that he
desired to modify the text of the con-
vention's telegram inasmuch as the
American government already had de-
clared itself in favor of evacuation,
started a heated argument in which
the Latin-American policy of the
United States was bitterly criticised
by the Dominican, Salvadorean and
Mexican delegates.
Senior Solano Of Salvador openly
declared that his delegation would
abandon the congress unless Mr.
Gompers Immediately sent the tele
grab The Dominican and Colombian
delegation asserted after the meeting
adjourned that they would act like
wise.
Talk of ousting Mr.. Gompers from
the presidency of the Pan American
federation was prevalent among TIE

VICTIM
OF Wild ATTACK
Was Picking Way Along Icy
Street When Shot by Japa-
nese Sentry.

WASHINGTON, Jan. E.-Lieutenant
w. III. Langdon, American naval officer
who was shot and killed by a Japanese
sentry at Vladivostok Jan. s, was the
victim of an unprovoked attack, dis
patches to the state department and TO
the navy department today agreed.
Both sets of dispatches were based on
statements elected from the accused
sentry by the board of investigation and
court of inquiry convened by the Japa-
nese government The, sentry's state
ments were described as in agreement
with the ante mortem story of the affair
by Lieutenant Langdon in that the SEN
try was the first to fire. The sentry who
previously had maintained that the
American officer fired first, also was re-
ported as having told the court of i'm
uuiry that he had discharged his rifle
by accident.
The state department was informed in
it's dispatches that Langdon, who is de-
scribed as "a total abstainer," was re-
turning to his ship early on the morn
ing OF January s. using a flash light in
order to pick his way along an ice-cov-
cred street. The sentry was on duty
before the headquarters of the Japanese
eleventh division.
THE final story and full admission of
the sentry. the summary of the report
OF the Investigating board added. made
artef q tnOIOuEH lnAtITOBdliOIl Oy tic
Japanese board of investigation and court
of inquiry, was that the sentry left his
post, ran a, ross the street, three times
called out halt and that Lieut.. Lang
don did not halt. The sentry said that
he then took position three PAGES in
front OF Lieut.. Langdon with his rifle
held at the position of charge bayonets.
Lieut. Langdon then stopped, according
to the sentrys story and shifted the
electric pocket lamp to his left hand
groaping with right hand into the pock-
cts of his overcoat. The sentry asserted
that he himself then took the position
for action and queried Lieut.. Langdon
with the words Russian or American.
The sentry admitted that he was very
1aNcited but protested that he did not in
tendNto shoot Lieut.. Langdon, but that
his purpose was to seize Lieut.. Lang
don's eleccCic flash lamp and compel him
TO accompany him TO the guard house
in order that he might ascertain who
the lieutenant was. He declared that he
then discharged his rifle by accident and
wounded Lieut.. Langdon in the breast

volver shots al him."
