Resolution Asks Probe OF Oil
Product Declared Used
by BootIeggers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Robert w. Stewards name has come
before Congress again, but this time 1t
has no connection with oil leases.
A resolution introduced in the House
by Representative Sproul of Kansas
accused some oil refining companies OF
violating the prohibition laws, asked
an investigation of this and also asked
an investigation of whether Stewart
had any knowledge of these violations.
Stewart Condemned.
Reviewing Stewards appearance be-
fore a Senate committee. and legal
proceedings against him, the resolution
declared he has evidenced such culp-
able contempt for acceptable business
ethics as to warrant the presumption
that he holds any profit to be its own

The resolution said that an oil prod
uct known as "Stanolax" was being
sold to persons making liquor in VIOLA

was subjected to a process by which

resolution said, were believed to be CEN
tered in Chicago, st. Louis, Cincinnati,
New York, Philadelphia. and other
large cities.
Large Amounts Declared Sold.
What was described as the statements
of q former salesman Of the Standard
Oil Co. also were cited. He was quoted
saying that he sold about $780,
600 worth of "Stanolax" to a bootleg
ger in the vicinity of Kansas City, with
the full knowledge of local officials"
Stewards name was further drawn
into the matter when the former sales
man was declared to have said: "This
source of sales appears to have been
exploited by the Standard during the
time Col. Robert w. Stewart was the
nominal and actual head of the Stand
ard Oil Co. of Indiana, producing sub
stantial profits to the company and
greatly enhancing Col. Stewards repu-
tation as a successful executive"
