STEWART IS ASKED
TO EXPLAIN PROFIT
Norris Calls on Oil Man to
Clarity Continental
Transaction.

Robert w. Stewart, now battling John
D. Rockefeller for control of the Stand
ard Oil Co. of Indiana, was bitterly at.
tackled yesterday by Senator Norris
Republican, of Nebraska, who called
upon the oil magnate to explain his
share of profits from the former Con-
tinental Trading Co.
The Nebraskan lauded Mr.. Rookie
Teller for his attempt to GUST Stewart
but he said that he did not 60 far
enough. He called upon Rockefeller ''to
accept the doctrine he breaches every
Sunday to his Sunday school class and
denounce these extortionate profits" OF
the oil companies.
Stewart, he declared would have been
behind the bars long ago" on his In
dictment for perjury before a Senate
committee "if he had been an ordinary
working man." Norris added: lone
hundred million dollars is pretty diff
cult, if not impossible, to convict.
Stewart was acquitted on the perjury
charge.
Norris also asked Mr.. Stewart Gin his
next effuSion to the press" to explain
why the extinct Continental Trading
Co. of Canada was organized, and to
comment on the language of the STU
preme Court. which declared this COM
pany was created for some illegal pur-
pose"
Recalling the Senate's inquiry into
this transaction, Norris said that Stew
art, Harry F. Sinclair and Harry M
Blackmer and James O'Nen of the
Prairie Gas g. Oil Co. had organized
the company, and that they had bought
oil through it at $3.50 a barrel and re-
sold it to their companies at SITS a
barrel.
Norris said the men by this deal had
taken profits from their companies of
between $4,000, 900 and $4,000 He
declared the four divided the profits,
and the Continental Trading Co. went
out of business after one transaction
involving 100000 barrels of OIL"

School yourself, instead, to slow
down in your desire to see the
ball after the clubhead has
whisked it away, and you will
make progress in golf faster
than can be accomplished in any
other way. In that one thing,
/ think, is the real root of all
golf troubles -the anxiety to see
the ball. fastening to look up
works backward, in a way,
through the whole swing. From
the take-off in the down swing
the players attention is not on
the business of swinging, but
already he sees the ball in flight,
and by that margin his mind is
wandering. It takes a lot of
practice to be able to look at
the ball so fixedly you practi-
cally see the clubhead 60
through it, but that attainment
can be accomplished. And right
now, whenever you are and
whatever the golf conditions
are with you, is a good time
to begin that. 1t can be done
as we'll in backyard, basement,
nets or the attic as on a golf
course-perhaps even better off
the course.
