SUES TO RECOVER MILLIONS
 OF DOLLARS IN ROYALTIES

New York, June 27-The suit of George T. Rogers of ,Plainf1eld, N. J., against the Texas company and Joseph M. Adams, to recover millions of dollars in royalties on the Adams process" for extracting gasoline from crude oil, was decided in his favor today by Justice John V. .McAyoy of the supreme court.
 Justice McAvoy ruled that Rogers had established his claim and was entitled to forty per cent. of the profits. It was estimated that the Standard oil com :panies of New York and New Jersey and other oil producing companies had paid royalties of about s20,00O,000 for the use of the patent, which would yield Rog- CTS, drought courts decision, about $S, GOO, 900.
 <. When the suit rent to trial on May II, Frank Howard, development manager of the Standard Oil company of New Jer- sey. testified that the improved Adams process was superior to any other process, and that approximately 100.000,o00 gal Ions of gasoline were extracted under 1t in 1921.
 THestimony was offered to the effect that in 1907 Adams, who owned the pat ent needed money for it's development and exploitation, which Rogers advanced him under an agreement that hs was to receive 40 per cent interest in the patent It was alleged that Adams later ignored the agreement and sold his patent right to the Texas company which has been receiving large royalties from the Standard Oil and other companies.

MEXICAN PETROLEUM AGAIN A MOST UNCERTAIN QUANTITY

New York, June 27.-Mexican Petrole- um again today maintained it's reputa- tion asEthe most uncertain quantity in the stock market. fluctuating within a range of over 20 points and closing at a loss of 5 points.
 Signs of further enforced covering were evident at the outset when the stock made five point jump to POO A reac- tion of almost 10 points occurred before midday, followed by partial rally. In the later dealings, however, a concentrat- ed selling movement drove Mex Pete'' down to 179, with final quotation of 1sO.
 Concurrent unsettlement was shown by Pan-American Petroleum "Ap and "B'' shares, both selling off more rapidly in the general liquidation before the close and registering net losses of almost six points each.
 Rails were adversely affected by labor i situation and old-time market favorites among steels, equipments, motors and kindred industrials paid toll in the ,vio- lent reversal. Net losses in these groups ranged for the most part from one to three points, but miscellaneous stocks of the more speculative type sustained more 1 severe declines.

 O'Connell is next in command to Owen O'Duffy he took over the CuUagh camp from the British. and during the Euro pean war served as major in the Amer ican army. He was returning to Beg gars' Bush late at night afoot and in uniform but was not armed when he was intercepted by an armed party and car Cied away. Inquiries at republican head quarters today were answered by the as- surance that he would not be released be- fore Commandant Henderson.
 A strong manifesto was issued this evening by the provisional government calling attention to grave acts against security, peace and property" and declar. ing that the duty of the government tc protect and secuCe all law respecting citizens without distinction, will be reso- lutely performed. The manifesto calll upon the citizens to cooperate actively with it in the measures it is taking tS secure pubic safety.
 This manifesto is not believed to impl, immediate action against the occupants of Four Courts, and the opinion is helS that before drastic measures are adopte, the government will ask for a vote O | approval in the new Dali Eireann.
