Marx Warns Against Rapid Re. , covery Being Made By.
 European Business

The connection of William G. Me- Adoos name with the Teapot Dome in- quiry has greatly increased the chances of Oscar W. Underwood for the demo- cratic presidential nomination. in the opinion of Otto Marx, investment bank CT of New York and Birmingham, who arrived Thursday for a brief business visit here.
 East Likes Alabamian
 Republicans, as well as democrats, in the east are admirers of Oscar Un- tive business men in both parties have confidence in his sanity and sagacity, and have heard the opinion quite fre- quently expressed that he is the strong est opponent Coolidge can have in the next presidential election. What that election will bring forth, of course, none of us knows, but I, as democrat; want to see Underwood have the oppor- tunity of being his partys standard bearer"
 Regarding business conditions, Mir. Marx declared that the entire country is enjoying the peak of prosperity.
 Europe Recovering
 . We are so prosperous, in fact" he said, that we must be mindful that the time is approaching when we shall have to compete with a reconstructed Europe. Germany lost nothing by the war in potential production. None of her factories were wrecked. She is get ting on her feet, and so is France, de- spite the great work of reconstruction that is necessary. When France, Eng land and Germany have fully recovered, they are going to be able, with cheap labor and cheap production costs, to jump our tariff walls, and we have got to be prepared for that competition"

THINK STADIUM
 BONDS ASSURED
Business Men Interested In Put ting Over Final Phase Of
 Movement For Athletics

Issue of $10O,O00 in bonds, guaranteed as to interest and sinking fund by the merchants and business interests of Birmingham, will make possible the construction of the Junior Chamber of Commerce stadium. This became a surety Thursday in the opinion of Jun for Chamber directors. and stadium committee members, folliwing a series of interviews with business leaders, who are favorable to the project.
 Directors of the Junior Chamber, at a special meeting Thursday morning, adopted the suggestions outlined by the stadium committee, headed by M. H. Sterne, which call for the issuance of |$1OO,OOO in 6 per cent sinking fund bonds, annual interest and sinking fund charges on which will be guaranteed jointly by a great many business es- tablishments.
 The Guarantee
 With this guaranty, the bonds will be readily marketable, and the remain ing fund necessary for the erection of the stdaium will be available very soon. There will be small risk to the guarantors, it is pointed out, for all rev enue produced by the stadium over and above actual expenses of operation will be deductible from the amount pledged to cover interest and sinking fund.
 Ten per cent of the gate receipts, which will be thet charge levied by the stadium association for the use of the stadium for football games, will create revenue that is expected to reduce or perhaps absorb entirely all annual interest and sinking fund charges, it is pointed out. The Auburn Center game alone has attracted attendance during the past few years of from 15,OOO to 10000 people, and many other big games will be brought to Bir- mingham when the stadium is available.
 Cost of Games
 At present, the cost to the manage ment or football games played here is 15 per cent, whereas Atlanta, Mont gomery, Nashville and Columbus, Ga, have football stadiums where the cost is 10 per cent of, the gate receipts. This accounts for the difficulty Birming- ham has experienced in getting big football games, is set forth.
 Fifteen leading and representative business men have endorsed the Junior Chamber plan of financing the stadium, and the directors and committee work CTS of the organization took the field Thursday for the purpose of getting guarantors' signatures. Under the pres ent plan, individual firms will be ask ed to guarantee only a small portion of the annual charges, raging from 1b of one per cent to per cent of the total.

IMPROVEMENT TO COME IN OIL
INDUSTRY, is BABS0N FORECAST
Business, in Fierce Competition, Now Realizds the
Truth of Rockefeller Prediction and Needs
New Leader, Says Statistician

Babson Park, Mass, Oct. 1.-THE
prices of crude oil and gasoline are still
being cut The latter is selling at tank
wagon price of Is cents in Ohio and is
retailing at II cents, in Tulsa it is sell
ing at seven cents gallon in tank car
lots which is the lowest price reached
thus far this year. The price range for
1923 at Tulsa was 6 1-8 cents gallon to
high of 14-12 cents. 1t is apparent that
gasoline and crude oil are selling at very
low prices at this time. Reductions have
been the rule with all companies from
the Atlantic to the Pacific Considering
the large amounts of oil, both crude and
refined, used every day it is quite re-
markable that the market has broken so
sharply. Since everyone is interested
either as user of petroleum products
or an investor in oil securities Roger w.
Babson's analysis of the industry, issued
Saturday, is of interest.

Premium of c5 Cents
Paid for Kevin Crude

Active entrance of the Inter-
national Refining company into
the crude market in Kevin field
has resulted in the offered pre-
MUM on Kevin crude mounting
to 25 cents above posted field
price. Active buying in the field
are the Montana Giant refinery
at Kevin and the Border refinery
at Coutts.
The Spokane Refining company
is reported to have been trying
to secure supply of crude with
out avail. The Spokane refinery
was getting from fiye to six car
loads of crude a day from the
Montana Giant while that COM
pany was getting the production
of the Shoshone group. Tip o.
Neil is now taking the Storm
and Moore lease oil for the Inter
national and the Sunburst inter-
ests are taking the Corey farm
oil. 1t is reported that the Mon
tana Giant has negotiated for the
production from the Campbell
Stewart well, paying a stiff pre-
MUM.
About 85 per cent of the indep-
production of the field is
now being purchased by the In
ternational under contract, with
10-cent bonus, and other Indep-
endents are reported to have re-
ceived offers Of as high as 25
cents bonus for their oil, making
the price S1.15 per barrel. Mon

to Bring Oil to Great Falls Refinery
Begin Work Soon

Four miles of pipe line will be
Immediately constructed by the
Sunburst Oil & Gas company,
connecting wells on the Corey
lease, section 4-34-2w, in which
the Sunburst has an interest
with loading racks to be erected
at Kevin. Reports that this move
was to be made by the Sunburst
have been current for several
weeks and were confirmed Satur-
day by officials of the company.
The Kevin loading racks will
be built on a 4O-acre tract south
of the Montana Giant refinery
The land has been purchased by
L. C. Stevenson, head o f the
Sunburst interests as a location
for the racks and terminus of
the pipe line. The pipe line will
be four inches in size and materi-
al for this also has been purchas-
ed. The survey for the line has
been completed and work on in
stallation of the pipe will be be-
gun without delay, it was stated.
With the construction of the
pipe line, the Sunburst interests
round out their activities in north

in their organization the three
sides of the oil industry produc-

Installation of the pipe line,
officials of the company say, in
sures the Sunburst against tie
ups such as resulted in the field
last winter over a period of sew
eral months and guarantees it
independence in the transporta-
tion department of its operations.
Construction of the Sunburst' 8

to emphasize the Importance of
oil development in the field dur
ing the last year. The group of
Corey producers gave the terri
tory a great forward impetus,
materially enlarging the gross
production as we'll as changing
the fields production center.
Developments in the Corey and
adjacent areas in the last sever
al months, in addition to the in
fluence exerted on development,
also has had the effect Of increas-
ing the proportion of operations
carried on by Independents. in
both the production and refining
departments. Several independ-
ent refneries are drawing their
supplies of crude from the field
and number of additional plants
have been placed in operation
during the year. An outstanding
result Of the activities of the in
dependent refneries has been
the establishing Of a bonus for
the greater portion, if not all, of
the fields production above the
