HUNT SUCCESSOR
FOR N0RTHCL|FFE
English Public Concerned over Who
viii Now Take Control OF Great
Line OF Publications; Times
Chief Interest.

London, Aug. 15.--The English
public was concerned today with the
question of who would succeed Wis
count Northcliffe as the dictator of
his 100 newspapers and publications.
Chief interest was in the discus
sion of the Times - England's S
"Thunderer" for over 100 years.
There was considerable interests in
whether the control of the paper
would revert back to the Walter
family from whom Northcliffe pur-
chased a large interest after his
first success in journalism.
Reports of a year ago that John
Walter was given 100000 pounds
for his share in the paper
have never been cleared up. 1t has
been said that Northcliffe's check
was returned by Walter, indicating
the latter wauld dispute the deal.
Also that the check was again sent

the Northcliffe interests intended to
fight for the large block of stock.
The control of Northcliffe's other
papers, it was believed, will remain
in the hands of his board of direc-
tors for a while at least.
Messages of sympathy from all
over the world were received by
Viscountess Northcliffe, wife of the
famous publisher, who died yester-
day morning of heart attack
brought on by complication of
diseases.
NorthcIiffes funeral services are
to be held in Westminster Abbey
tomorrow. He will be laid at rest
in the cemetery Of Saint Marylbow,
near where he was born.
Lord Robermor, brother of North
cliffe, probably will be named as ad-
ministrator of the publishers vast
estate. 1t is not expected that there
will be any disclosures of the dispo-
sition of the Northcliffe newspaper
properties until after the funeral.

SNITHY COMES
AS PIONEER IN
NEW OIL FIELD

Farwoll. the new oil town OF
the Nichlos district. southwest
OF Chickasha, is getting TO be n
regular place. typical In a way,
OF the early Oklahoma towns.
In the early days. about the
first business enterprise that
followed the settler into the un-
chartcd prairie. was the black
smith shop where the 'smithy'
sharpened the shares OF the sod
plows. shod the horses and tight.
ened up the wagon tires.
The blacksmith shop at Farwell.
has little or nothing to do with
plow shares. w. G. Mangum
and c. II. Garner came from
Duncan and opened a blacksmith
shop at Farwell. Instead OF
plow shares and horse shoes,
they handle work on drilling
bits for oil wells. make core
barrels and do all kinds OF work
on oil well machinery.
They are pioneers In this work
in the new field that promises
to rank among the best in the
mid.continent.

(}y The United Press.)
Washington, Aug. 15.-Congress to
day was ready to help President
Harding fight for a termination OF
the twin rail and coal strikes which
now stand out as comprising the
most critical industrial situation in
the last decade
The house reconvened after a
months recess with members just
back from their home districts de.
manding prompt action to meet the
situation and pledging their support
to any move the president might
make to meet the emergency.
Sentiment among many of the re-
turning members, particularly those
from the districts which have been
hit hardest by the strike, was the
federal government soon must seize
the railroads to protect the public
interest unless the present crippled
state of the nations transportation
systems can be relieved.
Congress is looking to the execu-
tive to make complete report on
his efforts thus far to settle the
strikes and to submit any legisla-
tion he desires. Whether Harding
will appear before congress within
the next few days has not been
definitely decided upon.
The cabinet met again toady 60
decide upon the administrations
next move with indications that the
main topic of discussion would be
the legislative program to meet the
present emergency
Meanwhile, the "big four" Brother
hood leaders, working in secret
and mysterious manner apparently
are striving to end the rail strike
through negotiations with various
railroad executives. The strikers
have placed their case entirely in
their hands.
The brotherhood leaders have de-
cided to make every possible effort
to settle the walkout amicably be-
fore throwing their powerful strength
to the side of the striking shopmen,
and in this move, they have the un-
qualified support of Harding.
Because of this new peace move,
the president may delay for a few
days the sending of message to
congress in the hope that in some
manner the menacing dispute can be
settled. In all their moves, how.
ever, the brotherhood leaders have
made it clear that they stand with
the striking shopmen for restoration
of seniority rights.
The cabinet today had before it a
mass Of data showing that the trans
portation system situation is gradu
ally growing worse. Conditions were
said to be particularly bad in the
middle and far west. Trains are
being cancelled daily, due to the
refusal of trainmen to take out what
they consider defective equipment
and in this report the workers have
the support of brotherhood leaders
here.
