WASHINGTON, Aug. Com
plete responsibility for the chaotic
conditions in the oil industry is laid
on Texas by Acting Secretary of In
terror j. M. Dixon.
Failure Of Texas authorities to
control the big new pool in that state
"has dragged the whole industry
down, running thousands of indepen-

bankrupt into the hands of the
great companies, creating great I'M
employment and hardships," Dixon
asserted. in an official statement.
He said there would be no situa-

ILLEGAL IS
BRAND PUT ON
CLEANING JOB
State Auditor Ready to
Repudiate Stand on
$4,000 Contract.
ASKS OPINION BY OGDEN
Expenditure Out of Leslie
Fund Is Attacked
in Letter.

Floyd E. Williamson, state audi
tor, announced today that he is now
ready to repudiate the $4,000 stats
house cleaning contract bearing his
name as he believes thae it is "ab-
solutely illegal"
To reinforce this opinion he sent
a letter to Acknowledgement James
M. ogden asking for an official
opinion on the following points:
1. Can a contract entered into and
signed by the members of the state
building and grounds committee for
cleaning the state Capitol building,
amounting to approximately $4,000,
be binding upon the state if there
is no specific appropriation avail
able for payment of the same at
the time the contract is made?
Refuses Workers Pay
2. Such contracts being made is it
legal and binding upon those who
have their signatures affixed to the
same?
3. Can the Governor pay from his
emergency contingent fund for the
work mentioned above under the
conditions set out in the above
question No. 1?
4. Would the auditor of state be
be liable on his official bond if he
drew warrants in payment of
vouchers drawn on the Governors
emergency contingent fund for the
purpose above?
The Williamson request asks Ogden
for an immediate ruling on these
matters.
Williamson said today that since
he mas refused to make any pay
mentS under the contract the work
has progressed without the workers
getting their full wages, if they are
being paid at all.
Leslie Ready to Pay
The Cincinnati Building Cleaning
Company has not been able to meet
the wage payments without the
state funds, it was said.
Governor Harry c.. Leslie, 1t was
learned, is ready to pay everything
from his emergency fund if he can
get the checks through the audi
tors Office.
His position was outlined at a
MONDAY conference Thursday to
which his Democratic confldant,
Frank Mayr Jr., secretary of state,
but not Williamson, was invited.
After the Governor and Mayr
spent some time together, they
called William Cosgrove, chief depu-
ty from Williamson's Office and also
Earl Stroup, deputy attorney gen.
eral.
Advised of Hlegality
Williamson and Ogden both re-
manned unconsulted in the matter.
The state auditor declared that
he was advised by his private at
torney, Albert Stump, that the con-
tract is illegal and that he sent
citations gathered by Stump with
his request for an opinion from the
attorney general.
He refused, however, to agree
with Fred Barrett, attorney who
brought an injunction suit on the
contract, that the money might not
legally be paid by the Governor and
the whole matter laid at his (the
Governor'S) door.
Barrett talked to Williamson re-
garding his position early today.

One of the few surviving founders of the Third Re- public passed away in Clement Armand Faleres. As Senator, Minister and President he aided the growth of the French naton but his strong Republican tenden cies did not deter most active social life among Eur ope's royalty when he became President.
 His career encompassed the entire period from the Franco P1ussan War until 190 when, it since has been revealed the rumbings of the World War already being heard in the Continental capitals.
 Falleres elected deputy from his department in 1S76 the first really Republican Parliament after the Royas party had been routed and their leader Marshal MacMahon, forced to abandon power.
 Becoming Under-secretary of the Interior Depart nent in 1880 he began spectacular holder of government portfolios which lasted for 10 years.
 That year he also became Minister of the Interior in Jules Ferrys cabinet Two years later he received the post under Duce1c and the following year called upon to form his own cabinet in which he was Minister of Foreign Affairs along with the Premiership His other cabinet posts after he lost control of the gov ernent Minister of the Interior under Rouver, 1884, Minister of Justice in Trards cabinet 1887 Min jser of Public Instruction in Trards second cabinet, 1889 and again Minister of Justice under de Freycnet in 189O
 Following this post he dropped from public office, remaining aloof until 15 years later when political change made him President of the Senate.
 year later he elected to the Presidency, sue ceeding Emile Loubet, where he marked himself a strict observer of constitutional prerogatives and Presi dentia tradition which makes that office far less po tenal factor than the heads of other Republics. He contributed considerable however, the establishment of the Entente Cordiae with Great Britain and helped to develop that into the triple alliance with Russia.
 His son, Andre, received his first political recogni- tion in 1926 when he became Undersecretary for Fi nances.
 Necessarily limited as is the of President of France, Faeres enjoyed social position during his term which had an undetermined effect upon the coun trys international dealings.
 King Edward was particularly close friend, their meeting including numerous dinners and parties in both their capitals. The Prince of Wales, now King George ", also enjoyed his hospitality, while he changed visits with King Haakon of Norway, the King of Spain King Frederick of Denmark and the King of Greece All of the other crowned heads of Europe also his guests
