RUIN FACED BY
OIL OPERATORS
IN 'FREEzEOUT'
Pipe Line Firm Decides to
Cease Buying Output of
$4,000 Wells.
BY GEORGE B. ROSCOE
United Press staff Correspondent

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Dec. %
An economic crisis neared today
over a large area of the mid-con-
tinent region where $4,000 strip
per" oil wells appear doomed to ruin
by the Prairie Oil and Gas Com
pany's announced withdrawal after
Dec. 81 as a purchaser o., their out
put.
These wells, yielding two to fif-
teen barrels of crude petroleum
daily under constant pumping, will
be left without a market when
Prairie's policy becomes effective
Jan. / because Prairie is the only
oil company that has pipe lines in
the area for transportation of pro-
duction.
When Prairie withdraws, the wells
will have to cease pumping for lack
of market, and by ceasing to pro-
duce they soon will be destroyed
by encroaching water and other
causes, experts agree. If they con-
tinue pumping they are good for
another ten years Of steady output
Governors Take Hand
Governor Clyde Reed of Kansas
and Governor William j. Holloway
of Oklahoma have urged President
Hoover to take action Immediately
to prevent the disaster and conserve
the resource, at the same time fore
stalling an economic crisis arising
from lost production and increased
unemployment in the region.
Appeals have been made by the
10000 independent owners of the
wells to other oil companies to buy
the output of the wells, but unless
the Prairie pipeline facilities are
made available to them, their offers
are not expected to be fulfilled.
Greece Out" Hinted
Prairie's decision to cease its pur-
chases was ascribed by many oil
men to the widespread overproduc-
ton of petroleum, but Carl Magee,
editor of the Oklahoma News, who
took a leading part in the Teapot
Dome expose, suggested editorially
the action was sponsored by the
Standard Oil Companies as a mas
ter stroke in freezing out the small
independent producers.
1.-THE Prairie always has been a
Standard Oil buying agency until
recently" he continued. 1T has
outlets to Standard refineries and
exporters. 1t is said these markets
have been taken away and given
to other Standard subsidiaries. At
the same time what appears to be
authentic information states that
the Rockefellers have sold all their
Prairie stock and have set their old
ally adrift."

z PEDESTRIANS
SHOT DOWN IN
GANG WARFAR
Chicago Machine GunnerS
Wound Wrong Couple
From Ambush.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 23.--A machine
gun nest was discovered in a
Rogers Park apartment today, few
hours after its occupants opened
fire on an automobile in the street
below, and wounded two pedestrians
who stepped into the line of fire.
The pedestrians were Edward w.
Stone, insurance salesman, who was
wounded il the right knee and right
ankle, and Mrs. Henrietta Guthrie,
widow, struck in the left thigh.
The intended victims of the shot
gun fire were gangsters in an au-
tomobile that had drawn up before
the apartment building, Captain
Patrick Harding of the Rogers Park
police station, revealed.
Gangsters Escaped
The gunner, Captain Harding
declared, were two other gangsters
from an eastern city, inS Chicago
attempting to force their way into
some gang. They probably laid a
trap for other gangsters, who
blocked their ambitions, he said.
AS the automobile stopped, the
muzzle of a machine gun was, thrust
from a window and one machine
gun shot was heard.
AS the men started the automo-
bile, a shotgun roared four or five
times.
Stone, who was climbing out of
his own automobile few feet
away, and Mrs. Guthrie, who was
passing the apartment building,
were in the direction of fire and
fell wounded.
Machine Gun damned
The gangster's automobile roared
away.
The machine gun nest was found
by janitor several hours later.
The machine gun, resting on tri-
pod, was still aimed through the
window. 1t was jammed In the
same room were a repeating shot
gun and a 100-shot drum of bullets
for the machine gun.
Oliver Dewaterville, who lives
across the hall, said he heard two
persons outside during the night
discussing the safety of entering.
They went inside finally, he said.
