SENATORS DELVE
INTO OIL PRICE
Aft, of Two Big Companies
Are Under Fire.
QUIZ HEADS OF CONCERNS
inquiry Into identity of the Larger
Stockholders ls Pursued at
Length Through Commit
tees Attorney.

Washington, Dec. 23.-Affairs OF
two oil companies, the Prairie On
and Gas and the Standard OF New
York. were delved into by the SER
ate oil investigating committee, with
the presidents of the two corpora
lions, James e. O'Neill and a. G. Fol-
ger, as the principal witnesses.
Inquiry into the identity of the
larger stockholders of the two con-
Germs was pursued at length through
questions by Gilbert e. Roe, attorney
for the committee.
Gives Stockholders Names.
Mr.. O'Neill gave the eight principal
stockholders of the Prairie Oil and
Gas company as Edward S. Hark-
ness. 3 per cent Northern Finance
corporation, per cent; John ID.
Rockefeller, Jr., II per cent: A. M.
HARNESS. per cent; trustees OF
the Henry II. Houston estate, little
more than 1 per cent, General Edu-
cation board, about per cent; Laura
Spellman Rockefeller memorial, 3 per
cent, and the Rockefeller Institute OF
Medical Research, 4 per cent.
The larger stockholders of the
Standard Oil Company of New York
were given by Mr.. Folger as John
D. Rockefeller, Jr., % per cent A. NJ
Hardness, about per cent; Edward
S. Hardness, 8 per cent, and the
Northern Finance corporation, per
cent.
Calls Price Changes Natural.
Mr. O'Neill was questioned closely
as to the reason that prices for the
crude oil posted in the Mid-COntinent
field by the five leading buying COM
panies had risen and fallen almost
simultaneously during 1921 and 1922.
He declared that it was a natural
process. He denied price changes
were preceded by any conferences be-
tween the competing companies.
Mr.. O'Neill asserted that prOduc-
ton Of crude oil in the United States
had reached It's peak and that within
ten years American refinerS would
be forced to get at least so per cent
of their supply from foreign coun-
tries.
Cash dividends amounting to $85,-
O50,O00 and stock dividends of 400 per
cent on capitalization of $75,O00,-
600 have been declared since 1911 by
the Standard Oil of New York. ac-
cording to a compilation presented to
the committee by Mr. FOlger, who
added that during the same period his
company had paid $75,5O0O0O in
taxes. The figur es did not take ac-

Once upon a time an Oriental saw
ant was asked What is eternityT
The reply Of the sage was to tbs
effect: There is a mountain in tho
Himalayas that is fifteen thousand
feet high. Once every ten thods-
and years a tiny bird comes and
rubs its beak three times upon the
peak of the great rock. When that
bird by the rubbing OF its beak.
wears that mountain away 1t Will be
one second Of eternity"
Yet back of the mythical rock and
the mythical bird was an eternity Of
the past dating back 10 a time when
there was absolutely nothing-no
earth, no seas. no life, no millions
of other planets of which The Earth
of to-day knows naught. The glare
of the sun, the glow Of the moon.
the twinkle OF the stars, the fash OF
the meteor are all positive evidences
of the existence Of other planets.
How, out OF nothlng-through the
workings of some wondrous First
Great Cause-came the creation OF
what are known as planets or
worlds the mind Of man cannot con-
ceive. In all the calculations as to
the beginning OF things st is neces-
sary, in order to get start, TO 'let
X represent"
Yet for thousands of years, and
through fragmentary bits of material
evidence, It Is revealed that the
civilization OF to-day is in ats infancy
and that the earth as known is such
a minute fraction of eternity the
time cannot be computed When
the earth was evolved out of the
mysterious nothing there protruded
above the surface of the waters
stretches of land. For two thous-
and years at least one bit OF land. no
doubt once a part OF the present
continent OF Europe, was cut away
by what Is known as the North Sea.

the work can be found evidences that
Nature was the inspiration to guide
the brains and direct the hands of
the designers and builders. It Is a
great study, yet only one OF many
wonders OF the days left as legacies
by the barons bold with spurs Of
gold"
One OF the most beautiful church
spires is the one on the tower OF the
Cathedral OF St. Nicholas in New
castle-on-Tyne. There are-two grace
ful cross arches, each a perfect half
circle, and on the top, where the
arches cross, Is a spire OF fine It
lines. II Is related that architects Of
later days have not been able to
fathom the skill of the designer and
builder Of that tower. It is also
related that when Sir. Christopher
Wren sought 20 build The Cathedral
of st. Giles in Edinburgh his idea
was to fashion the climax of the
tower after the one of St. Nicholas.
Whether IL was really Sir Christie
pher or some one else the imitation
was only partial. The arches are
not perfect half circles
Aside from the church architect
ture that must appeal 10 any
thoughtful observer, the character
of the old castles and courts and
other buildings that came into be-
ing before modern methods were
ever dreamed Of, there is glorious
touch to the island OF England and
Scotland that cannot be duplicated
anywhere on earth. It IS true that
the ruins of India and Egypt and
other Oriental spots are in them
selves a study that take one back TO
a time almost beyond comprehen-
sion Much has been preserved 10
indicate the astonishing capacity and
Imagination OF those architects OF
old who never saw and perhaps
never knew aught of England, which
came into existence after they had
been forgotten There is so much to
be seen in England by those who go
into the right regions that life
time could be spent in paying hom-
age to the hand diwork of the First
Great Cause and the skill of pigmy
man.

been an old Roman villa II is in a
surprising state OF preservation and

villa had been covered with earth

farmers for centuries raised their
crops and grazed their sheep and

churches, cathedrals and abbeys-

rebuilt-dating back centuries. It
Is scarcely possible in either England

a cathedral cannot be seen close at
hand or in the distance. They are
often hidden away among the great
trees or nesting in the centre OF
some quaint village or city. In the
early days of what is thought to have
been a sparsely country the
number Of places Of worship ap-
