Production of Crude in
Country Has Reached Its
Peak, One Of Experts
Tells Hearers

Washington, Dec. 22.-Affairs OF
two oil companies, the Prairie Oil
and Gas company and the Standard
Oil Company Of New York, were
delved into today by the senate
oil investigating committee with
the respective presidents Of the
two corporations, James E. O'Neill
and II. C. Folger, as the principal
witnesses.
Inquiry into the identity Of the
larger stockholders of the two con-
Germs was pursued at length
through questions by u. u. Roe, at
torney for the committee, and
brought from Mr.. O'Neill that eight
interests owned 81 per cent OF the
stock of his company, and from
Mr.. Folger that four interests held
Approximately 35 per cent of his
corporations stock.
Mr.. O'Neill gave the eight prin-
cipal stockholders of the Prairie
Oil and Gas company with the per-
centage of their holdings OF total
outstanding stocks, as Edward 5.
Harkness, 3 per cent; Northern
Finance corporation, 4 per cent;
John d. Rockefeller, Jro IL per
cent; A. NJ. Harkness, 3 per cent;
trustees of the Henry II, Houston
estate a little more than one per
cent; General Educational board,
about s per cent; Laura Spellman
Rockefeller Memorial, per cent,
and the Rockefeller Institute Of
Medical Research, 4 per cent.

Standard Oil company of New

holdings as compared to the entire
outstanding stock, were given by
MIR. Folger as John D. Rockefeller,
jr., % per cent; A. M. Hardness,
about 5 per cent; Edward s. Hark-
ness, 9 per cent, and the Northern
Finance corporation, per cent.
Mr.. O'Neill was questioned close
" by the committee attorney and
also by Chairman La Toilette as
TO the reason that prices for crude
oil posted in the mid-contlnent
field by the five leading buying
companies had risen and fallen
almost simultaneously during 1921
and 1922, but declared that it could
not be considered unusual and was
a natural process. He asserted en-
phatically several times that the
rise and fall of prices was not pre-
ceded by any conferences between
the competing companies.
The Prairie Oil and Gas company
president declared in the course Of
his testimony that production Of
crude oil in the United States had
reached its peak and that within
10 years American refiners would
be forced to get at least so per
cent of their supply from foreign
countries.
Cash dividends amounting TO
sS5,05O,000 and stock dividends Of
400 per cent on capitalization of
s75,000,0G0 have been declared
since 1911 by the Standard of New
York, according TO n compilation
presented to the committee by Mr..
Folger who added that during the
same period his company had paid
s75, 100000 in taxes. The figures
dill not take account of the stock
daiidend of 200 per cent recently
declared and now bei47 paid.

 The fixing of a permanent name flor Washington teams comes as the continuation of weeks of study and the culling of long lists of sugges- tions. The old name of "Sun Dodg- CT" was found unsuited when it met with the disapproyal of fans and students alike, many believing it to be a criticism of Northwest climate and an inconsistent attack on Uni. versity student life.
 "Vikngs" Kicked Out
 During the Christmas vacation Uni versity of Washington students were surprised to discover that the Purple and Gold varsity teams had been dubbed Vikings" Vikings had been selected by some of the athletic au- thorities at the university.
