NORFOLK JUDGE
MAY ORDER
REMOVAL
Review Of Case viii Be Asked
BY Realtors Counsel When
Baker Death Judge Returns

United States Commissioner J.
Barton Phillips today mailed to
the office Of Federal Judge D.
Lawrence Groner, of Norfolk, Va,
his recommendations that Herbert
M. Campbell be sent to the Dis
trict of Columbia for trial for the
murder of Mary E. Baker.
Judge Groner is now on vaca-
ton but is due back at his office
next week. He is then expected to
review the recommendations Of
Commissioner Phillips and the
report Of the extradition proceed
ings held before the commissioner
before he decides whether or not
to issue a removal warrant for
the Virginia real estate dealer.
Campbell Would eco
Charles Henry Smith, chief
counsel for Campbell, and also
on vacation, said last week that
he will ask Judge Groner to give
him an opportunity to state his
reasons why Campbell, who was
indicted by the District Grand
Jury for the murder. should not
be sent to trial for the murder
of the woman. Rumors in official
circles say that in the event
Judge Groner orders Campbell
removed, Smith will make no
further fight in the case until 1t
reaches the District Court.
United States Attorney Leo A..
Rover said that if Judge Groner
does decide to review the case
Campbell in all probability will be
taken to Norfolk to be present at
the review.
Auto Still Held
While Rover has said that the
Rev. Thomas p. Baker, father of
the murdered woman, may take
the automobile in which she was
murdered, it was not turned over
to the clergyman today. A. M.
Dawson, who has been custodian
Of the car, said he will not release
it unless he gets a signed order
from Rover.
Herbert S. Ward, associate coun-
sci for Campbell, wants the auto
mobile held, as he wishes to use
it in the defense case before the
jury. He wants to prove by the
car itself, he said, that it would
be impossible for assailant of Miss
Baker to shoot her while in the
Car as she was shot.

FIRST TYPICAL
GIRL ENTRY IS
LEILA DYER
PaIais Royal EmpIOye Dances,
Sings, Is Artist, Athlete and
Business-Like, Yet Domestic

The honor Of being the first to
be placed in nomination as the
typical Washington girl goes to
Miss Leila Dyer, Is years Of age,
Of 1882 Pennsylvania Avenue, S. e.
She was nominated by a woman
friend.
Miss Dyer has been employed
for more than three years in the
bookkeeping office Of the Palais
Royal department store. She is
well qualified. She is quite an
artist, fond Of athletics. a singer, a
good impersonator, has business
ability, is a fancy and tap dancer,

admirers.
Avalanche Follows
Hardly had Miss Dyer's nomina-
tion been received at the office
of The Washington Times, which
Is conducting the quest for the
Typical Washington Girl, than an
avalanche of entries started.
Girls from every kind of bust
ness life are being nominated for
the honor-typiSts, stenographers,
Government employees, telephone
girls, SaleSladieS, school teachers,
and numerous others.
Nominations will be in order un-
til the end of September. Girls
may nominate themselves, or be
nominated by relative or friend.
During the latter, part of
october the judges will select
whom they regard as the Typical
Washington Girl. This girl will
be given a free trip to Paris and
return as the guest of The Times
and Gloria Swanson, famous
screen star. On her trip the
fortunate girl will retrace the
steps taken by Miss Swanson in
her latest film, What A WIDOW"
soon to be shown here at a
Loew theater.
Photographs Free
Some of the persons placing
girls in nomination are forgetting
some very important points!
Some are failing to send good
photographs of the entrants. If
a good photograph Is not avail
able, send the entrant to the
Photographic Department of The
Times. on the fourth floor of the
Hearst Building, 1917 H st. N.
W., anytime between $3.50 a. m.
and 5 p. M, and studio picture
will be taken free of charge and
without the slightest obligation of
any kind.
Some are failing to send in
detailed information regarding
the qualifications of the entrant

ties, habits, ideals of character,
extent of education, social, civic,
or philanthropic activities and ac-
compliShments in the fields of |
business, music, art, dancing, |
drama, domestic art or science,
etc.
Young Must Have Guardian
Some of the entrants under 81
years of age are failing to give |
assurance that if they win they |
will be accompanied on the trip |
by a parent or legal guardian,
who will pay his or her own ex.
penses. This provision may work
a hardship on minor girls whose
parents are only in moderate
financial circumstances, but it
should be kept in mind that The
Times intends to throw every
possible protection around the
winner. Girls between the ages
of 18 and 81 are being permitted
to enter only as special con-
ceSSion.
No one can predict who the
five distinguished judges. to be
named later, will regard as the !

coterie.
Since the death of Samuel M. FELTON,,
former chairman of the board of the

securities during the hectic market fiuc-
tuations of last Fall.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 9.-The state Of
general business has shown seasonal i'm
provement during the past month, &C
cording to the monthly review OF con-
ditionS prepared by the National City
Bank of New York, although the stee!
industry, which made fine recovery to
February Is, has since dropped from 80
per cent of capacity to slightly under
rs. Even so, the review goes on to say,
production recently has been at the rate
Of slightly less than 100000 tons a
year, or slightly larger than in any cal
dar year save 1929. The decline in
steel is not surprising, in view of the
fact that that industry evidently had
forged ahead of general business and
that buyers are following an extremely
cautious policy.
Continuing, the bank says, it Is now
evident that the failure of business to
make a more rapid recovery since the
first of this year is due to the world
wide extent of the reaction. The fall
of prices of staple commodities has been
even more serious to other countries.
The loss of purchasing power and the
enforced policy of economy in all coun-
tries are reflected in this countryS trade
and are a factor in the lesSened activity
in most Of the industries as compared
with year ago.

Confirmation of the view that despite
all the difficulties under which the
trade labored the calendar year 1929
was a profitable one for the well man
aged oil companies is to be had in the
annual report of Gulf Oil Corporation.
In 1929 gross earnings of Gulf Oil were
$272,413,23s, against $3.50, 1886 ,906 in
1928, and net income before dividends
was $44, 489 ,685, against 500, 1925 lao. On
a per share basis, earnings in 1929 were
$3.50, against $806 in 1928. although
the number of shares outstanding had
increased about 10000.
Gulf Oil Of Pennsylvania is one of
the two largest oil companies in Amer
lea outside the Standard Oil group.
Besides two bond issues, each carrying
a per cent coupon and Of the high
est investment rating, the company'S
capitalization consists of 4,525, 221 shares
Of SIS par value stock.
The market appraises this stock at
a very high rate for two reaSonS-firSt,
because it is a minority stock, some 90
per cent Of the shares being owned
and controlled by the Mellon interests,
and because Of the extraordinary con-
Servatism of the bookkeeping. On this
latter point it is interesting to note
that the corporation wrote off in 1929
for intangible development costs, de-
probation and depletion the large sum
Of $50, 531 ,764, or more than $12 per
share Of stock. Nearly $4,000, 900 was
expended on property, plant and equip
ment during the year.
1t is for reasons of this nature that
the stock, paying only $3.50 in divi-
dendS annually, sold at the time the
report was made public at a price to
yield approximately only l per cent
on the investment. The earnings,
whether reinvested in the business or
added to surplus, belongs to the stock
holders and the market reflects that
fact. For income the stock has no
attraction, but for those who can at
ford to sacrifice current return for
ultimate capital appreciation it pre-
SentS possibilities.

says DR.. J. c. F. Siegfriedt.
The finding of the shell frag-
ments in the Dry Creek Oil field,
in close proximity to the Ohio well,
will make for development both
from commercial as we'll as
scientific standpoint. The region of
Carbon county will be now on a
par with the Cobb Desert where
nests of eggs have been found by
Roy Chapman Andrews several
years ago.
The potentialities and possibil-
tiles of the region around Red
Lodge are shown by the discover
les already made. DR.. Siegfriedt
discovered in the Eagle Coal mine
at Bearcreek, 13 mammal species
new to science, including the pri-
mates. Twelve of these have their
defendants in the Wasatch, which
is next layer above the Fort Union.
Sponge and trilobite fossils were
uncovered by the Princeton expe-
dition under the leadership of w.
T. Thorn Jr., professor of the geo
logical department of Princeton
University.
Fossil Discoveries
Under the direction of DR.. Err
ling Dorf, paleobotanist o f
Princeton, the fossil leaves and
plant life of this region were in
veJtigate9. DR.. Dorf discovered
such plants as the laurel, banana,
magnolia, chestnut and sequoia;
thus showing that the prehistoric
climate of the neighborhood was of
a sub-tropical nature, thus making
a prolific growth of vegetation
and making possible the formation
of the Carbon county coal fields.
Besides fossil leaves, seeds, flow
ers, dragon fly wings and crayfish
imprints were added to the Prince
ton collection.
Further investigation will be
made during the coming summer

result in the elimination of the
independent operator from the in
dustry and the establishment of a
virtual monopoly, dominated and
controlled "by foreign and dom
estic monopolistic groups now
profiting by present conditions to
detriment of the consuming public
and contrary to the public veal"
In his reply, Mr.. Galen said he
had no hesitation in assuring the
association that he would favor a
protective tariff on crude oil. His
position is that a tariff would pro-
tect Montana's oil and gas indus
try, insure development and rea-
sonable returns to operators and
improve employment conditions.
He concurred in the opinion that
S1.OO barrel would be a reason
able protective rate. AS senator
from Montana, he stated he would
demand discontinuance of the pre-
sent policy of denying prospecting
permits on government land.
Congressman Leavitt believes
that the necessity has passed for
a continuation Of the interior de.
partment's policy of denying pros
permits on government
land. He will join a movement to
bring about a change in the inter
ior departments policy, he said.
"Also," said Congressman Lea
witt, u am favorable to the pro-
posed tariff on crude oil for the
protection of American producers,
and | will work to secure it."
Senator Walsh declared that
there is not the slightest prospect
of the tariff subject being reopened
by congress "for some years at
least" He believes that those in
control of legislation twill not
dare to precipitate another tar
iff fight-nor can they, in my
judgment, be persuaded to do so.
No one should be deluded into the
belief that contest can be waged
