Oil Bubbles Up Through

Reservoir of Wealth Waiting to be

Washington, Aug. 1S.-The exist
ence of huge untouched oil field I'M
der the water of the Gulf of Mexico
is strongly indicated in data just COM
piled by the Naval photographic Of
flee and made public today.
Many recent reports to the ny
Geographic Office by ship captains tell
of oil bubbling up through the water
of oil brought to the surface with
pchors or Of passing through large
Ill Sticks"
photographic records of the last
20 years have been complied and the
reports of numerous ship captains
show Il striking similarity regarding
the oil spots. Year after year these
oil indications are reported IN OF
fetal records, mainly from an area
chat lies just southeast Of Galveston,
Texas,
Other oil spots have been noted
less frequently off the Delaware
Brcakwatcr off the Middle Atlantic
Coast.
The persistence Of these reports and
the insistance of ship captains that
the oil could not como from ocean
vessels or BE- carried from wells along
the MCXicOn coast have convinced
many naval officers that a huge reSer-
voir of untapped wealth, lies under
the gulf awaiting TO be tapped by
the genius of man.
Starting with a point about twenty

miles off Herald Bank on the Texas
coast, the charted oil spots run in
straight line and then about 200 miles
80 miles in diameter.
The location Of these oil spots, some
of them covering large areas as if a
huge fleet had poured the dark brown
fluid or the sea to calm it and other
hubbling straight up out Of the Wa
ter, are in varying depths. Some re-
ports give the oil signs near the coast
in water from 10 to IS fathomS deep,
others are in depths of from 700 TO
900 fathoms, while the charts show
other reports from near Sigsbee's
Deep, the bottom OF which has never
been touched by the saunders lead.
Among the reports to n&vy's by
geographic service are the following:
From the Steamship Sompoc:
passed through large patch Of
thick oil, apparently bubbling up TO
the surface"
From the Saxonian: Passed
through oil spot. The gush was quite
pcrceivable and the smell of oil was
quite strong; the color of the oil was
dark brown"
From naval vessel: Passed
through an area of water about one
mile in extent which was discolored
with OIL which could be seen bub5ling
on surface in three jets
The reports made public without Of
ficial comment as to the probable eN-
istence of q gigantic oil pool, have
caused wide speculation in naval cir
cles as to how the oil could be OBJ
tanned.
In shallow water, the problem
would be an easy one, as oil wells are

the Court of Appeals is to pass upon

NO NEED OF ALARM DEFENDS RAIL ACT
Repeal Will Aggravate Car
Shortage, Says Dillon.
Lower Operating Costs Only
VIII Bring Lower Rates.

Ell Dorado, Kan, Dec. 15.-Repeal
of the transportation act which he
said is widely advocated in the west
would have a direct tendency to con-
tinue and aggravate the car shortage
from which farmers are suffering
Charles Dillon, of Chicago. assistant to
the chairman of the Western Railway
presidents committee. declared in an
address here today before members
of the Butler county farm bureau.
TT would have this effect" he said,
because it would make it difficult
or impossible for the railways SO to
restore their earning capacity as to
enable them to buy the cars, the loco
motives and other facilities needed
Stating he did not mean to imply
freight rates never are to be lowered,
Mr.. Dillon continued:
Must Have Return.
"If these rates ever are to be low
cred, the cost of operating the rail-
roads must come down, and the roads
be permitted to earn enough money
to develop their properties and pay a
fair return on invested capital"
In the first nine months of 1929, Mr..
Dillon said, the railroads earned $529,-
413,000 net operating income or at the
annual rate of only 1886 per cent on
their valuation. The marked decrease
in net return for August and Septem-
Der as compared with a year ago, the
speaker said. was due to the reduction.
of freight rates, July 1, to increases in
operating expenses caused by the shop
employees strike, and to advances in
the price of coal.

Near Freezing in Southeast.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-Heavy precipita-
tion. either snow or rain, in portions
of virtually every state except Florida,
with particularly heavy snowfall in
the lower lake region giving Chicago
its first snow of any consequence this
season and the first heavy snowfall
of the year in New York, marked the
progress IF winter over the United
States.
Chicagos snowfall measured about
one-half, inch. But it left the streets
slippery. Three persons were killed
and two injured yesterday in auto
mobile acciCents- Dozens of persons
were injured. ships crashed in the har-
Dor and a fuel famine threatened as
result of New York's first heavy
snow storm this year. Extra police
were placed on guard at lumber
yards to keep the cold sufferers from
depicting the, yards.
Cold In Northwest.
While temperatures were higher in
the eastern and southern states, it re-
nlained unusually cold in the north
west region and was colder from the
upper Mississippi valley southwest
ward to Colorado and the Texas Pan
predicted for Nebraska, Iowa and
South Dakota, heralding another cold
wave for these states. 1t was forecast
that the thermometer would drop to
10 below.
Sleet covered n large part of Kan
sas and northwestern Missouri, caGs-
ing a number of vehicle accidents, re-
sulting in injury to pedestrians. The
weather continued cold in both states.
