SMILES SAVED
CLARA PHILLIPS
FROM GALLONS

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. IT,
Mrs. Clara Phillips was saved
from the gallows by her smile.
The men members Of the jury
which found her guilty of second
degree murder for beating Mrs.
Alberta Meadows to death with a
hammer were quoted today as ad-
mitting that had it not been for
the defendants smile, she prob
ably would have been convicted of
first degree murder, without a
recommendation for clemency.
They said Mrs. Phillips seemed
to study them, one at time, and
to flash frequent smiles at them
while she turned an apparently
stoical back to the spectators
crowded in the court rooms.
But the women jurors were not
affected, 1t was stated as all three
favored hanging until they found
a compromise was necessary to
avoid a disagreement.
While the defense planned to
ask a new trial next Monday, the
time set for passing sentence
which may be any period Of years
from ten to life, the state counsel
said they had no comment to make
on the verdict.

IN OIL PRODUCTION
TEXAS HEADS LIST

Observation-Disclosures again led all
states in the production Of oil in Feb
ruary, when it's total was 10,774,000
barrels. compared with 11,526,O00 bar
rels in January. Oklahoma ranked
second with slightly more than TO-
100000 barrels. The Texas daily aver
age was 384,S75 barrels, while that of
Oklahoma was 359,714. The country's
total production for the month was
41,163,000 barrels, a daily average of
1,470,107 barrels, compared with 49,
141,000 barrels in January and daily
average of 1881, 900 barrels
The midcontinent field in February
brought in more than one-half of the
domestic production. During February
domestic production of petroleum, &C
cording to a statement from the Unit
ed States geological survey, attained
a new nigh record, the daily average
of 1,470,000 barrels, being an increase
of 1882 barrels over the previous
high record of January. Only once be-
fore in the last two years has the daily
rate of production exceeded the daily
rate of consumption. Although the
daily rate of consumption and of i'm
ports increased slightly, stocks of
crude oil (not including consumers
stock increased almost 100000 bar
rels.
On the last day of February total
net pipeline and tank farm stocks of
petroleum east of California, gross pipe
line and tank farm and producers
stocks in California, and stocks Of
Mexican petroleum held in the Unit
ed States by importers amounted to
208,000,00O barrels, equivalent to 14S
days supply at the present rate of con-
sumption. Although this is the larg-
est amount of petroleum ever held in
storage in the United States, it is OF
interest that the 136,0OO,000 barrels of
petroleum held in storage in 1915, At
the time of the Cushing overproduc-
ton, was sufficient to meet the re-
quirements of consumption for 218
days. The domestic consumption for
the month was 4O,611 900 barrels, or
a daily average of 1,45O,393 barrels,
thus making the production for the
month more than the consumption.
