Nations Gas Tank Is
In No Danger OF Going
Dry, Says Oil Expert

OIL CITY, Pa, Jan. 25-There is
little chance of the nations gas
tank going dry even in the remote
future, predicted George H. Jones
chairman of the board of directors OF
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey at banquet here tonight.
But if in all this we are mistaken,
if oil we'll fails in the future to
constitute an ample supply" he said,
1--WE are certainly already in a posi-,
tion to rest assured that we can
make motor fuel similar 20 gaso,
line from raw materials, such as oil
shale and coal, which are available
in enormous quantities"
The oil man also declared there
was little reason to fear the, price
of motor fuel would become propor-
tionately much more part of the
nations whole motoring bill than 1t
is today. He added that if gasoline
did become too expensive, the substI.
tute fuel could be used.

Cortez Descendant
Disappears III Mexico

MEXICO CITY, Jan. rs R-Dis-
appearance from Mexico City Of
Prince Valerie Pignatelli, lineal de-
scendant of Fernando De Cortez, the
Spanish Iiberator of Mexico, led the
italian legation to issue state
ment today, declaring as ridiculous
rumors that the Italian nobleman was
heading an army of revolutionists
somewhere in Mexico. The legation
expressed the belief the prince left
Mexico some time ago, and may now
be in Italy.
At police headquarters it was said
the prince had not been seen and
his whereabouts was not known since
charges of. alleged fraud were made
against him by a prominent Mexico
City banker two months ago.
Prince Valerie has been in the
public eye considerably of late, first
when his wife was killed in an
automobile accident in which he him
self was seriously injured and later
as duellist. He fought a bloodless
duel with Eduardo Mede over the
,latter's wife. The fighting prince
challenged General Francisco Ser
rano, governor of the federal dis
trict, who, however dismissed the
matter with a smile, this was the
last heard of the incident.

Utah Senator Writes
Hunt On Colo. River

PHOENIX, Jan. 25. - R9 - Governor
Hunt today made public letter under
date of January 20 which he had re-
ceived from State Senator Knox Pat
terson of Utah, expressing surprise
that the federal government contem-
plated building a dam at Boulder cam
yon on the Colorado river.
The letter drew attention to the re-
port of the United States reclamation
services survey of the river in 1921
20, the report of which stated, Knox
maintained that the river was an in
ternational stream and was navigabae.
This, the letter continued, indisputa-
bly, gave Arizona ownership of the bed
of the stream within the boundaries
of the state.
The letter concluded that Utah con-
templated the repeal of it's agreement
to the seven-state river compact, hav-
ing already rescinded it's agreement to
the six-state pact to throw the whole
Colorado river question into the United
States supreme court for settlement.

for calling this to the attention OF the

Concluding a speech of nearly an
hour, in which he assailed the press
for what he described as a failure to
tell THE truth about senate debate, the
Alabaman said his life had been threat
ened since his recent attacks on the
knights of Columbus resolution, and
warned that he had assurance that if
anything happened to him, Lord help

While the senate was acting, the
Mexican question also agitated both
the house, and one of its committee.

creased grazing fees in the national
forests Will begin to become active in
1923, w. Nj. Jardine, secretary of agri-
culture, told the livestock men at their
annual convention here this afternoon
No increases will be put into effect
this year. The increases will be based
upon the recommendations contained
in the report of Dan c. Easement, the
secrearys personal representative, and
will be applied at the rate of 25 per
cent year for four years. and will be
in full force in 1881 No increases will
be made during the remainder of the
present 10-year contracts, ending in
1884, nor will there be any increases
during the next 10 years, the secretary
promised.
The new rates will therefore, il was
pointed out by stockmen, be spread
over a period of 19 years. They
amount to approximately 40 per cent
over the present rates and average
about four cents per animal per month
for cattle and two cents per month
for sheep. The increases will be ap-
proxmately one cent and one-half cent
per month"; respectively.
Fred H. Bixby, Lon Beach, Calf,
former president of the American
Livestock association, said he believed
the decision fair and equitable. after
ALL" he said ait is spread over 19
years. 1t is a 40 per cent increase
over our present fees, which means
approximately 2 per cent increase
year No increases will be effective
this year. In passing the raise on for
another year, the secretary has taken
into consideration the present condi-
tion of the industry / endeavored to
have the 40 per cent reduced to 25
per cent, which would have been cut
from the Easement recommendations,
but it was out of the question. The
secretary's action today will result in
that bill being withdrawn or killed.

teur boxer in the middle west. Eu
is So Wilson made him the first

commission and at Wilson'S request
he ran for the senate in Wisconsin
in 1918, but was defeated.
Davies is said to have made a
million or two, at law while Gregg has
been working for the government.
Big issues at Stake
1t will be a great legal battle,
with issues of paramount Importance
OF far-reaching effect will be The
appeal boards decision whether the
government has the right to reopen
a tax case once it has fixed the
tax and collected it. The defense,
of course, will contend that it has
not and that it recognized the tax
in this case as correct for five years
The second question at issue,
around which most of the fighting
is expected to center, concerns the
value of Ford motor stock as Of
March l, 1919 the date fixed by law
for calculation of values on which
later profits might be computed. 1t
concern at that time
The defendants and the approxi-
mate amount of additional tax, plus
interest, which the treasury hopes
to collect from each are: Couzens,
$11,OO0,0O0; Dodge estate, affecting
the widows of John and Horace
Dodge and other members of the
Dodge family $1O,0OO,oOO; Horace
Rackham, $5000OO0 Gray estates,
representing a Detroit family,
$10,000,000, and John Anderson, De-
troit lawyer, $2,5o0,O0O
They sold the stock to Ford in
1919, previously demanding and re-
eeiving from the government a state
ment as to what the tax would
be on the amount Of profit in the
sale They paid the tax, amounting
TO 73 per cent of profit, after Ford
paid them $4,000 share and a total
Of SlO7OOO,000 for Al per cent of his
ecmpany's stock. The government
valuation, as of March, 1913, was
then approximately $4,000 a share,
80 that tax was paid of the $500
figured as profit
New Bill Presented
But in 1926 the treasury decided
that it had been mistaken, that the
1913 value had really been but SO, 500
and that the huge tax must be paid
on $4,000 a share profit The
former stockholders, claiming that
they never would have sold their
stock unless the government hadI
previously determined the tax, are
fighting tooth and nail. The bestl
lawyers Of Detroit, Chicago, Wash
ington and New York are on the
job.
The rest of us millionaires may
well be interested, because if young
Mr Gregg and his assistants win,
the treasury can reopen our old tax
accounts at any time within the
statute Of limitations and collect
from US all over again.
