strikes balance as to the rate now

FOOTPRINTS OF WOMAN
CLUE IN BABY KIDNAPPING
Disappearance of Daughter OF
Chattanooga Commissioner of
Education Is Still Unsolved.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 25.-
Several footprints, including those Of
a woman, near an unlocked basement
window were the sole clues police had
last night to the kidnaper of Virginia
Josephine Frazier, 2year-Old daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred e. Frazier.
who disappeared from her crib Wed
nesday night.
MIR. Frazier, who is commissioner Of
education and mayor pro. tempore of
Chattanooga, and Mrs. Frazier left
Jacksonville last night upon learning
Of the disappearance Of the child. They
were in the Florida city on short
visit.
The motive for the kidnapping re-
mains mystery, as does the manner
in which the child was taken from her
home. She was put to bed at 1880
o'clock Wednesday night, but was gone
at O'Clock Yesterday morning. She
was sleeping with her 6-year-oid
brother. who was undisturbed.
For the child to have left the house
alone it would have been necessary
for her to unlock two doors, it was
pointed out. This was considered I'M
possible.
4 description Of the missing child
was sent to all the schools of the city
and $4,000 children Joined in the
search. Virginia has golden curis,
blue eyes and fair complexion.
During the absence Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frazier the latter's mother, Mrs. r.
ID. Benham has been in charge of
the home. The children were looked
after by Miss Johnny Peaie, their
nurse. who has been in the Frazier
household for several years. having
been taken from an orphanage. Miss
Peale was questioned several hours
and released.

OIL EXPERT URGES
CURB ON WILDCATS
Overproduction and Rising Elk.
penses Given as Reason for
Using Storage Stocks.


NEW YORK, March 25.-Limiting
of wildcat oil operations and devoting
more attention = producing costs was
advocated yesterday by Walter G.
Teagle, president of the Standard Oil
Co. of New Jersey. returning from an
inspection of the Seminole and West
Texas areas. Too much crude oil
still is being produced, and too much
crude oil and finished gasoline are
being held in storage, Mr.. Teagle said.
'Of course, it is too soon," Mr..
Teagle said, "to expect a radical
change in the volume of crude oil
produced, for large number of wells
which had started drilling before the
recent price reductions are being car
ried out toAcompletion.
"Aside from large daily production,
there is considerable production which
is shut in"
Commenting on prices, he added:
"I-4 the past few years the average
cost of producing oil has been steadily
increasing. The present overproduc-
ton ought to bring this to the atten-
ton of every operator"

SYSTEM Of STREET
LEWES TO STAY
Assessments to Be Made Un-
der BorIand Law, Allowing
for Court Action.

Despite a recent decision of the Dis
trict Court of Appeals that special as.
sessments for street improvements un-
der the Borland law are invalid except
in the case Of lots of uniform depth,
the District Commissioners today de-
cided to continue to authorize assess
ments in the same manner as in the
past and let property owners appeal
individually to the Courts.
The action of the Commissioners
was based on a special report today
by Corporation Counsel Francis II.
Stephens carrying an Interpretation of
the courts decision in the case Of
Johnson VS.. Rudolph.
Outlines Court Opinion.
Outlining the opinion, Mr.. Stephens
said:
1.-The general conclusion to be drawn
from this opinion is that to a
very large extent it is virtually
impossible to lay down any gem
eral rule whereby the validity of as
sessing abutting property for street
improvements can be promulgated
where the assessment is levied. as in
this case, under the so-called front-foot
rule, and that in no event would such
assessments be upheld unless there be
a relative equality in the depth of the
abutting property. and the assess
ments did not exceed in amount value
of benefits conferred by the improves
ments.
OF Doubtful Legality"
'I am of the opinion that all assess
ments under the Borland amendment
are of doubtful legality unless the
assessment is against property having
fairly equal depths (such as would
occur where lots are laid out in con-
form1ty to streets intersecting at right
angles). property receiving a substan-,
tial benefit locally, and unless the
property be non-suburban and already
unsubdivided
The Stephens opinion will be con-
sidered by the Board of Commission
ers, with a view to deciding whether
to stop authorizing such assessments,
or to continue to do so and cause such
property owners to appeal individually
to the courts.

Five New Penguins
Arrive at Capital
Zoo From Chile

Five Humboldt penguins from
Chile were added to the Zoo popu-
lation yesterday.
There now are six Of these Curl
Gus creatures who combine so many
of the qualities of bird, fish and
human being. The first penguins
tc come to Washington were Sc
cured from New Zealand two years
ago-a family of three. Two of
them have died since and the soil
tary survivor has cut a rather pa
thetic figure as he waddled about
his cage.
The newcomers are of slightly
different species and are smaller in
body. They look, if possible, even
more like fish than the New Zea-
lander, their white feathers being
curiously arranged like scales.
Like the other, they are tlightless,
and as they waddle about look like
clumsy human dwarfS.
