STANDARD0|L WAR
INTERESTS SENATE
Investigating Group Is Con-
cerned Over Outcome Of
Stewart Custer Voting.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Members OF the Senate who took a
leading part in the Teapot Dome con-
troversy and its sequel, the examination
Of, Col. Robert w. Stewart of the
Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, are much
concerned as to the possible outcome Of
the voting In the forthcoming meeting
OF Standard Oil Co. of Indiana stock
holders.
before the Senate committee have been
beclouded by other issues, particularly
the money making opportunities for
stockholders under one leadership as
against reorganization under another.
Meant What He Said.
It Is most unusual to find the radical
group in the Senate fighting alongside
wealthy industrialist like John d.
Rockefeller. jr., but they have discov-
cred that Mr.. Rockefeller meant what
he said when he told the committee
that even If he had only single share
instead of substantial interest in a
company he would feel moral respon-
sibility to cleanse the institution Of
wrongdoing Of any kind
Mr.. Rockefeller's minority interest 1t
has been felt here right along was Stlff.
Gent to bring about an immediate reSig-
nation of Mr.. Stewart, in fact there was
a tendency here for some time to be-
1ieve that he could have forced Mr..
Stewart out merely by asking for
resignation.
Now that some of the difficulties Mr..
Rockefeller has had are. understood by
the men on Capitol Hill and they see
also the possibility that the materialiStic
aspect May influence the voting Of
ideals for which Mr.. Rockefeller
stands, there Is disposition to inquire
further into the case.
II Mr.. Stewart wins out, there I'M
doubtedly will be a reaction here, the
consequences of which will not be clear
~ seen until it spends its full force.
Tho speeches by Senators Norris and
Nye in the Senate are the beginning of
what may prove to be a further inquiry
into the whole episode. While the al
legged coercion Of stockholders may not
be investigated, Mr.. Nye thinks the
circumstances under which the jury
that acquitted Mr.. Stewart issued a
statement Of comment on the case
might be looked into little more.
See Possible Reputation.
The truth is the Senators would look
upon vote Of the stockholders uphold
ing Mr.. Stewart as a reputation. of
the efforts they made to uncover what
the Supreme Court of the United States
has denounced as an Legitimate trans
action. The battle between the rival
groups inside the Standard Oil Of In
diana which has been attracting the
attention Of the country will engage a
good deal more time of the Senate il
Mr.. Rockefeller Is defeated and the
stockholders approve Of Mr.. Stewards
leadership. The possibilities Of a
further inquiry are being discussed wide
1y. but nobody seems to know lust from
what angle the subject will be ap-
preached anew and the belief is that
until the vote Is taken no further steps
will be proposed here.

StorehouSes for old Santa Claus
that's what the Indiana Dry Goods
Company, with stores at 306 East
Washington street and 215 West

Beautiful gifts always are ad-

teal and useful, when there is Sc

of the family-why look farther?
Whether the store near the court
house, or the one near the state
house, is more convenient to you
bring your shopping list and "you
will be agreeably surprised at the
really wonderful savings" says the
management.
1t is gratifying, too, that articles
purchased here carry a money-back
guarantee. The early shopper who
is the wise and saving shopper, can
select gifts now, calmly and with
out rush, and if he wishes, can have
them laid away.
Both Indiana Dry Goods stores
have lay-away departments. Store
No. 1 is at 306 East Washington
street, just east of the courthouse;
store No. is located at 215 West

SOCIETY VOICES
APPEAL TO BUY
YULETIDE SEALS
Campaign Pushed to End
Reign of tuberculosis
in Indiana.

Education, coupled with improved
living conditions, have caused, de-
crease in tuberculosis in Indiana,
according to officials of the Indiana
tuberculosis Society.
The society, in sponsoring It's
1929 Christmas seal campaign,
hopes to gain financial support
which will suffice to aid in an adj
ditional decrease of tuberculosis
deaths in 1880 over 1929. Its goal
for 1929 through sale Of seals is
100000.
In a bulletin issued today the
association says:
Education gradually is building
preventive and curative egencies
among children and adults alike
in Indiana against tuberculosis, and
the steady decline of the death rate
since the organized fight against
the disease began under the BAN
ner of the Christmas seal approx
mately twenty years ago is cause
for community Thanksgiving. In
almost every section of the state
the steady educational pressure
must continue, however, because
the disease still reaps horrid total
of deaths in Indiana each year.
"In 1923, for example" the bulle-
tin says, 1914 persons died
throughout the state, and the worst
phase of the situation now is that
the disease takes its heaviest toll
among persons between Is and 40
in the productive period of life. Its
death rate leads all other diseases
in these years.
1.-THE tuberculosis Christmas seal
supports the varied weapons which
Indiana and the nation are using
successfully to keep the death rate
going down.

continues the association statement,

come in relation to death-rate.
Policy holders of small consequence

culosis that the highly paid groups
of policy holders did"
The associations belief that
