The architects say of It: "The

PRETTY GIRL PILFERED
She Got Away With Things Belong
Ing To Neighbor,,

Rochester, September 25.-Pret-
ty, fourteen year old Olive Bluhm,
daughter of Oscar Bluhm, local
farmer, was brought before Judge
Manahan this moning by Sheriff
Hauck after search of her home
had revealed the possession of 5000
worth of household goods belonging
to neighbor, H. A. Farhman. Her
case was certified to the juvenile
court. ...
The appearance Of the slender,
trim and exceedingly pretty young
ster in court under the shadow Of q
robbery of such proportions, caused
a stir in hardened police circles
and created a sensation that has
not been equalled in a long record
of dreary court sessions.
Appearing like sweet, old fash
ioned girl, she stood coyly before
the court and listened to the words
of the sheriff as he explained the
story to Judge Manahan.
Sheriff Hauck Saturday searched
the Bluhm farm where the little girl
spent most of the days alone, and
found the goods which had been re-
obOlCn Wy 4ul. ohO GAAo .. L Gill
man. The goods had been piled in q
large blanket, wrapped and tied and
hidden in one of the bedrooms. 1t
was valued at 5000 in all and CON
tanned the following articles, bed
spread, one pink quilt, one ivory
hand mirror, one blue apron, one
linen table cloth, one package OF yell
low goods (cloth), many fancy tow
els, one large round lunch cloth
(embroidered, candy suckers, ko-
dak pictures, kodak book, bath tow
els, three rugs, 7 books, mans gold
wrist watch, large vase, cups and
saucers and other articles.
According to the developments Of
the story the father and brother left
the young girl ut home most Of the
time with the result that her, imag-
ination. might have worked in the
wrong direction,
There was nobody at the Bluhm
farm at the time the sheriff made his
appearance with the search warrant.
Pretty Miss Olive smiled at him and
acted as willing and charming
hostess evidently not suspicioning
the sheriff's intentions.

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatchl
St Paul, September 26.EMining
companies affected by the state oc-
cQpational tax, which were certified
by the tax commission to the state
auditor last week, have fled appli-
cations for abatement of the penal
ties attached to the tax amounts,
and for reductions in the taxes, it
was learned today. The hearing on
the applications has been set for

The companies, In their applica-
lions, question the constitutionality

provide for . ten per cent penalty
for failure to report within certain
time limits, an additional ten per
cent for failure to pay within other
time limits, and a one per cent per
month penalty from the time pay
ments are due until they are paid.
In the case of the 1921 taxes, the
penalties amount to So per cent OF

taining its value and whether the
law was intended by the legislature

PETROLEUM CLUB MET

Refineries Was Interesting Discus
sion Before Gathering Last Night.
The Petroleum Educational club
met in regular session last night to
listen to very interesting and in
structive address by R. w. PInney
on the subject, "Refineries: Type, Lo-
cation and Ownership" Mr.. Pinney's
paper, like that of F. G. Brown who
addressed the club previously, was
carefully prepared and gave evi-
dence Of painstaking research.
The club, which was organized
February s, 1923, has already done
much to broaden the knowledge OF
its members on the petroleum indus
try, and the auspicious beginning
which it had this season in the pa
pers by Messrs. Brown and Pinney
indicates that the high ideals OF
the club will be maintained. j
After dwelling al length on the
types and locations of refineries
the transportation facilities. good
soil for foundations, water supply
drainage conditions and suitable la
Dor supply, Mr.. 'Pinney passed on to
q discussion of the area required,
advising as follows, mo set rule can
be applied to all plants, on account
OF the various stages to which the
refining process is carried. We may
however, evolve some approxima
tions from which a fairly accurate
estimate may be made Of the amount
OF land required. A refinery depend
ing on railroad or water delivery of
crude, should have available in stor-
age a minimum Of three months
supply of crude oil. One located al
the wells or on a pipe line may re-
duce this to two months. Crude
storage provided in accordance with
the Underwriters requirements
amounts to $500 barrels per acre II
$1,000 barrel tanks are used; sor to
II 200 barrels per acre, using S.,
900 barrel tanks. Many companies
exceed this amount by twenty to
twenty FIVE per cent, paying a high
er premium, If insurance is carried
Finished stock storage to take ad :
vantage Of market conditions should
not be less than three months
yields. Note, however, that the re-
fining loss and coke are eliminated
Lubricating stock and wax tanks
may also be grouped more closely
than crude oil tanks With this
reduction, twenty to twenty five
thousand barrels of tank storage
per acre Is a fair figure. Complete
refneries, running to all products
with acid recovery, shops, case, can
and barrelIing departments, will oc-
cupy ten to twelve acres per thou
sand barrels per day of throughput
exclusive Of storage space for crude
and finished stock Swimming plants
will occupy about FIVE acres PEI
thousand barrels. The land neces-
sary for plants more nearly com
plete, but not finishing up all prod
ucts, will be somewhere between
five and ten acres per thousand bar
rels daily. The figures for the re-
fnery will include the intermediate
stock and working tanks"
A general discussion, which show
ed the deep interest Of the mem
bers In the subject discussed, fol-
lowed the reading of the paper. The
next regular meeting of the club will
be under date of October 8th al
which time G. ]. Jensen will deliver
an address on the subject "The Val
ne of Appalachian Bright Stock as
Compared to Mid continent"
