OIL CARS BID
FOR STEWART,
AFTER DEFEAT
Better Executive Jobs Than
Indiana Standard Post
Are Offered.
BY EARL J. JOHNSON
United Press Stan Correspondent


CHICAGO, March 8.--New enter
prises we're reported reckoning to
Colonel Robert w. Stewart today.
From his more intimate friends 1t
was learned that the oil industry
already had offered him at least
two positions as good or better than
the $125, 000-a-year one he lost at
Whiting.
It was considered doubtful, how
ever, that Stewart would accept any
new connections Immediately but
would rest for a while from the
strenuous campaign against John
D. Rockefeller Jr., which ended
Thursday when the. big, sharehold-
ers of the Standard Oil Company
Of Indiana voted to Gust him from
the board of directors.
Harry F. Sinclair, whose business
dealings with "the colonel" in the
Continental Trading Company Ltd,
led to Rockefeller's demand that
Stewart get out or be put out of
Standard OIL is reported to have
made two attractive offers TO the
deposed executive.
ousted by Company
One is said to be a high position
in Sinclair's present organization.
The other report is to the effect
that Sinclair is planning an i'm
rlense oil merger with the Phillips
AID Sicily companies and wants
Stewart to head the new concern.
Probably never before in the
history of big business has a high
executive been subjected to such a
humiliating experience as the one
to which the unyielding Rockefeller
subjected Stewart.
From the seclusion of his place in
New York, John D. Jr., watched
Colonel Stewards controversy with
the United States senate which
sought to question him about his
connection with the so-called Con-
tinental Trading Company scandal.
When it was all over and Stewart
had been acquitted of perjury and
contempt by a jury, Rockefeller
made public demand upon Stew
art that he resign.
Moral Worth Was Issue
Although he and his family owned
only Is per cent of the stock in
Stewards company, Rockefeller saw
1t as his duty to Dust Stewart as
morally unfitH to head a concern
from which the Rockefellers were
accepting dividends.
Then began the campaign for
proxies, the lining UP of the big
eastern shareholders who would al
low Rockefeller to vote their stock
against Stewart. The campaign met
with typical Rockefeller success and
although John D. Jr., himself re-
manned out of the country during
the entire fight, he won with a
majority of 2,555,327 shares of stock.
The climax which was reached in
the Whiting Memorial Center
Thursday was not the financial bat
tie of the century as it had been
pictured
Instead it was an intensely hu-
man drama of big business.
Stewart knew he was beaten be-
fore he ever started to the meeting.
Perhaps he had known it for weeks.
Before leaving his Office in Chicago
he had prepared and duplicated
statement expressing his regret at
leaving the company. G. v. Julian,
one of his aids, carried the state
ment in a brief case ready to give
it out when the votes were counted.

There's a reg'lar rain of ter TOT going on about town; all be- tween fair and fairer, just about the latest gown I am not sup posed to tell it, but it will no longer keep, for I am sure it can't endure and that's what makes me weep. I'm getting now about the age when folks begin to fail, but still can turn an other page without pain or vail, but goodness knows if it keeps on where all this stuff will end, for when old TERROR starts a song I'll surely need a friend.
 When folks go in a movie show for stationary cause, and make the arm into a bow to circle crepe or gauge, does this act there perpetrate because she needs the help? Or does he think Ricip ROCATE, or wait for her to yelp? As I have said I'm old and gray and know not what to think when I see people getting gay, and ladies at me wink, but days of youth come back to me-although I am a crank-and when this silly stuff I see I long to grab and spank
 T have no little tots to call me Griz, or Dad, but when see these vacant lots within a younger head, I sort'o think awful jokes can do the things they did; but then this terror craze is on and it stays I guess, but is the world just partly gone or how come all this mess?
 FTher's nothing in the book of rules that says this rein must stop; nor is it taught within the schools about the movie Pop, and I'm not going to start class among the younger set, and let them go on and be monkey and take what they can get, but

if I had a wife and kids I'd have them for respect, but as I said I'm just a "nas been," and this ol grizzly head may see more than it has seen before they call me dead.
 50 let the reign of terror rain in sprinkles, drops, or flash, some parts of it may give me pain, but it won't get my cash; so be it gowns, a necker's whim, or just damphoolish way. I'll let them in the love-pool swim and keep on getting gay, and I'll keep the old-man line, and in the old mans place, the clothes they wear, though short and fine, won't wrinkle my old face. Nor will my arm in movie shows the slender form embrace"
