tionally fine conductor and that no

His successor has been selected and
will be announced in a few days. A
competent man has been secured. it
was announced. Noes Zlatin, choral
conductor, will remain in that ca
pacity.

OIL MEN SEEKLAW
TO 0ALLOW MERGING
May Ask Change of Sherman
Act to Permit United
Conservation.
By the Associated Press.

TULSA, Okla, December 10.-The
oil industry's first definite step toward
formulating a legislative program de.
signed to guarantee oil producers the
right to cooperate without legal hin
drance in conserving the petroleum
resources Of the Nation was taken
here yesterday.
A committee of seven prominent oil
men was named by the American Pc.
troleum Institute to draft recon-.
mendations for submission to the
board of directors of the executive
committee or the organization.
BY resolution Of the board Of direc.
tors the committee was directed to
formulate "a program Of legislation,
Federal and State, to be advocated by
the institute, giving sanction and
effect to agreements by oil producers
for the curtailment Of production in
pools where and during periods when
there is overproduction, having for
their purpose the economical and or
derly production of OIL"
Clark Is HonOred.
e. w. Clark of Los Angeles, vice
president Of the Union Oil Co. of Cali.
fornia, was elected president of the
institute
Another committee was chosen to
work within the industry to devise
measures for conserving petroleum
reserves while continuing to meet con.
requirements.
Resolutions were adopted by the
directors approving the stand of Presi-
dent Coolidges Oil Conservation Board
that the prevention of waste of ma.
tural gas is Of paramount importance
in the conservation and economical
production of oil.
Agreements between oil producers
having for their purpose the orderly
production Of oil were approved in
principle. The legislative committee
created is expected to seek amend.
ment of the Sherman antitrust law to
state clearly that agreements entered
into by oil producers to limit produc.
ton in any particular field in the in
terest of conservation are legal.
The oil industry recently was urged
by Secretary of Commerce Hoover to
sponsor some such legislation.

American Newspapers Are Demanding
Modernization of News From Abroad

an effort to conceal real meaning. are
getting fewer and fewer" continues
the London correspondent, who ex-
plains that in these days of rapid
transmission OF news such are too
dangerous. European statesmen to-
day try to say exactly what they
mean.
SO important is deemed the infiu-
ence of the American press. Mr..
Smith points out, that in all con-
troversial situations important coun-
tries try to get their side into print
therein before the other fellow. This
condition has been of great help to
American correspondents abroad, as
it has cut out red tape and brought
into diplomatic office men who have
knowledge of the demands of modern
newspapers. In this way, also, the
average reader is coming into his
own. Parliaments and statesmen no
longer monopolize the foreign news,
and the subscriber gets more informa-
ton of the theater. the opera, ath-
letics, religion and literature.

NEW YORK, December 10.-A vart-
alton of Walter Camps daily dozen
has come out of Yale. The new exer-
else system might be called the daily
score.
DIR. William Gilbert Anderson, di-
rector of Yale's gymnasium, is the
father of the new set of exercises, for
which he has a slogan-"keep the
back of your neck against your collar
and relax now and then"
DR.. Andersons system is directed at
correcting posture and requires only
seconds 20 times day. Just lift
your head, draw in your chin until the
back of your neck presses against
your collar, arch your chest to its ut
most and draw in the abdominal
muscles" he advises. do this 20
times a day, holding the position for B
seconds each time, and in few weeks
you will find that your posture will be
greatly improved. You will look bet

been taught to relax a few minutes

American newspapers, having
brought about decided change in the
method Of handling domestic news,
are now demanding a similar modern
ization of foreign news. Politicians
and statesmen the world over, no mat
ter how famous, are finding that they
must do or say something important
and original to claim extensive space
in the daily press. These statements
are made by c.. s. Smith, chief of the
London bureau of the Associated
Press, in a contribution to the latest
issue of the Service Bulletin of that
organization.

dened with ponderous terms, have

ATTEMPT TO ROB CHURCH.
Nothing Found Missing at st. Pat
rick's, However.

An unsuccessful attempt to rob
st. Patrick's Church. Tenth street
between F and G streets, was made
between $50 o'clock last night and
6 o'clock this morning. Policeman
Philip X. Clarke of No. 1 precinct,
together with Mgr. c. f. Thomas,
pastor of the church, made an in
spection of the church, but could
find nothing disturbed inside.
Two stained glass windows on the
south side of the church, one near
the front and one near the rear, We're
smashed by the robbers, but owing
to the deep slope on the sills it was
apparently impossible for them to
get sufficient hold to raise their
bodies up. There was evidence of
their hands having slipped on the
sills, and for this reason it was i'm
possible Ito obtain .f1ngerprints.

NEW YORK, December 1O.-The
fingers of business today closed more
firmly around the town dwelling dis
tricts Of the Rockefeller family.
The Board of Estimate, by unani-
NOUS vote, changed to business dis

The town dwelling Of John d.

feller, jr., resides at 10 West Fifty
fourth street, a block away. Last
week the board converted West Fifty.

to the federal test. according to the accredited herd plan, and receive the federal compensation as we'll. Use Deserted Farms
 The selection of a farm evidently calls for some ingenuity on the part of the dealers. Often, it is said. the place is owned by an agent who is not farmer at all but who takes over herd of 100 or 150 cattle just so that he can ask the indemnity. In some cases the dealers have been so bold that they place the herds tenn porarily on a deserted farm and then call for the test, it is declared. All they require is the name of different man to use each time.
 The inspectors come to the farm where the request has been made, condemn and kill the diseased COWS and determine the compensation. The state pays up to s25 for grade COWS and up to $50 for pure bred COWS, while the federal government contributes an equal amount. Con- sequently, the men who have paid s10 or S15 per head for the COWS make a profit off the government amounting sometimes to four or five times the original cost.

HARDWARE SALES
 WELL MAINTAINED
Reasonable and Staple Business
 Being Reported

New York, Aug. 1S-The gener- ally satisfactory conditions prevail ing in both industry and trade are reflected in hardware sales through out the country, according to reports from the various wholesale market centers. During the past week" Hardware Age, in it's weekly hard ware market summary, will say to- morrow: Sales in both seasona! and staple lines have been well maintained, with no marked depart ure from prevailing price levels.
 Hardware sales during the bal ance of 1926, it is believed, will fill the expectations of wholesalers and retailers generally. In support of this belief it is pointed out that crop conditions, as a whole, are more favorable than last year, and in many sections yields are substan- tially greater than expected.
 Business generally during the month of July is more active than year ago. Building contracts are generally larger than for the same period of last year. while car load ings are maintaining the high peak attained during the past few weeks.
 "Collections, always indicative of general business conditions, are re- ported as satisfactory"

CATTLE DEALERS
 CHEATING STATE
Mass. Has Reports Tubercular
 Cows Are Sold
Springfield. Aug. IS. --Investiga-

Springfield. Aug. IS. --Investiga- ton, both Federal and State, is ad- mittedly being carried on of charges made to the district attorneys of- flee and other authorities that cer- tain Western Massachusetts dealers in cattle have been making a good profit off the Federal and State Governments by palming off cheap COWS bought at Brighton or other markets as bona fide dairy herds and getting three or four times what these animals cost them when the COWS were condemned and killed as tubercular cattle.
 That complaints have been made to the district attorneys office is admitted by Charles R. Clason, as- sistant district attorney for this sec tion, and it is understood that the charges are being probed by state detectives.
 According to authoritative infor- nation, the Federal Government has been investigating the situation for some months and has determined not to pay claims in the future for COWS killed because they were tuber- cular unless they can be shown to be real dairy herd animals,
 State Officials Handicapped
 Private veterinarians, moreover, have known for about a year of the game the pseudo dealers were play ing, according to Gordon Huse, ami nal inspector for this city. The State it is alleged, has also realized that
New Britain herald., 1926-08-18

things were not os they seemed, but has done nothing because of the present state law which ties the hands of the officials unless, per- haps, some out and out attempt to trim the State can be definitely proved.
 This law, Mir. Huse said, pro- vides that if any individual own ing a herd demands a tuberculin test for his cattle, the state is bound to give it at once regardless of circumstances, and to share with the federal government in compensation for the cattle that are condemned. Veterinarians say that a state agent, when he makes a test, can usually tell whether he Is examining a real dairy herd or a fake one assembled for the pur- pose, but is prevented from doing anything by the state law as it now exists.
 Other States Protected
 Other states, it is said, have a protection against this sort of thing through laws which say that no test and reparatfon will be made unless the farmer has owned the herd for six months and the cattle have been within the state for year. It is argued that what ever the outcome of the present investigation, Massachusetts should amend it's laws so that 1t will be similarly protected.
 The complaints and reports of the fake dairy herds all agree as to the methods used by the deal CTS and also that the trick has been played often in the vicinity of Springfield. The men involved buy the almost worthless cows at such places as the Brighton mar ket, getting them cheap because of tubercular tendencies. They then ship the cattle to some convenient farm and blandly demand a tuber- cular test from the state. Most of them sign an agreement to submit

cial dispatches from Durango, which have not been confirmed, report that a priest, Father Luis Batis, and three civilians, were killed while a group of Catholics were attempting to rescue them from soldiers who had captured the priest for an al- legged violation of the laws
 Riot Reported
 Advices from Colima are to the effect that one policeman was kill ed and several civilians wounded in a riot in the village of Ixtlahuacan, state of Colima. No details were given. Several policemen. walking along a residence street in Coyoacan near Mexico City. are said to have been fired upon from a house. When they entered the building the occupants had fled, leaving much religious propaganda, economic boycott leaflets and cards inscribed Hong live religion, death to bad government" The police say they are of the belief that Catholics were holding a meeting in the house and seeing the police approach thought a raid was in prospect and there- fore fired first.
 Alvaro Tore Diaz, governor of Yucatan, in telegram to Fl Uni yersal, denies a report issued Mon- day by the Catholic episcopate authorities saying that the state offl- cia'5 had allowed Catholics to Wor- ship outdoors unhindered when they left their churches after com munists had been named on the municipal committees to take charge of the churches. The ais patch says the state of Yucatan al ways was law abiding and that al the present time it is enforcing the law.
 The attorney generals department announces that it has received re- ports from lower California saying that all Catholic priests there nave accepted the governments religious regulations.

TABOO MAGAZINE
 WITH BRANDY ADV.
Ruling on London Paper Sub
 eCt to Review by Buckner

New York, Aug. IS P)-All for eign magazines containing liquor ad- vertisements will be barred from the United States if tentative ruling by Edward s. Barnes, acting solicitor of the United States customs house here, is sustained.
 Mr. Barnes yesterday barred "The Key to London" magazine pub lished in England chiefly for the in- formation of American tourists, be- cause it advertised place where Grants Morella Cherry Brandy" might be purchased in England.
 The decision was rendered pend ing an opinion from United States Attorney Emory R. Buckner. now On vacation. MT. Barnes cited sec tion 17 of the national prohibition act, which declares it is unlawful to advertise anywhere or by any means or method liquor, or the man. ufacture. sale, keeping for sale Or furnishing of the same, or where, how, from whom or at what price the same may be obtained"
 Exceptions are made for foreign newspapers mailed to the United States. he said. but "The Key to London" is classed as magazine, and was shipped by express.
 MT. Barnes admitted that under his interpretation of the law all magazines carrying liquor advertise
 kI..x United States.
 l.. s. Baynton Williams, an off cial of the American information bureau of London, who arrived here from England two weeks ago, said several copies of The Key to Lon don" were admitted without objec- ton last month.
