CHICAGO, Aug. It's a very
~ peculiar thing about midwest
ern states that politics always is a
stable topic of conversation. No

venturing guesses as to who will be
the parties nominees for Governor
in the April, 1882, primary.
Illinois has retained that form OF

Plan Voluntary Closing
By United Press

By United Press
TYLER, Tex, Aug. 7.-Oil pro-
ducerS in east Texas, the field
whose opening sent the price of
crude oil tumbling from $3.50 to %
cents a barrel, today conducted a
campaign for voluntary closing
Of their wells until the price goes
up again.
A mass meeting was called for
Aug. IA at Tyler, when a general
shutdown agreement will be sought.
The movement was started Thurs
day night when thirty-seven of sixty
producers, in meeting here, voted
voluntarily to close their wells.
They also adopted resolution
denouncing east Texas operators
who have offered oil to Oklahoma
refners, thus multiplying the efforts
Of the Governor of that state"

OIL FIELDS TO
STAY CLOSED,
SAYS MURRAY
Alfalfa Bill Asserts Price
of Crude Must Rise to
Dollar Mark.
TROOPS GUARD WELLS
Companies Keep Running
on Reserves, Take No
Legal Action.

By United Press
OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 7. -
Governor william H. alfalfa Bid
Murray and the oil companies
played game of watchful waiting
today in the Governors war to
boost oil prices by shutting down
all wells in the state under martial
law.
National guardsmen kept steadily
at their job Of closing the wells,
in accordance with the Governors
orders to stop production in all
flush fields until the price of crude
reaches 81 a barrel. Only about
10 per cent of the wells remained to
be closed.
The oil companies indicated they
intended to take no action to re-
open the wells until their reserve
supplies ran out, at least. Several
smaller refiners were closed, but
the major companies kept going
with reserves.
Alfalfa Bill repeated his ulti-
matum that "the price of oil must
reach ST a BARREL" and made no
further move. The price still was
80 cents, just what it was when he
put the fields under martial law.
Murray Is Confident
The only activity was in east
Texas, where producers started a
movement to close their wells VOL
unfairly.
Murray was kept out of the lime
light somewhat because of the
death of his father Wednesday
night. but expressed complete con-
f1dence that shutting down the wells
would result in a hike in price.
His voice rose in anger when he
mentioned reported efforts of oil
companies to put him under obhga-
ton by financing his political cam
paigns.
Il wouldn't want to be President
and have my hands tied" he shout
ed, in telling how oil interests had
offered to finance race for the
Democratic presidential nomination.
Governor Is Pleased
The Governor expressed satisfac-
ton at the outcome of the toll
bridge war" in which he called
out his troops to keep the free
bridge open over the Red river at
Durant.
The federal judge who had grant
ed an injunction against opening
OF the free bridge until claims of
the toll bridge company against the
state of Texas had been settled,
Thursday dissolved his order.
The action came after the Texas
legislature gave permission for the
state to be sued by the toll bridge
concern.

ROYAL ROMANCE
RUMOR BLASTED
EarI'S Daughter Will Not
Wed Prince of Wales.
BY SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS
United Press STAFF Correspondent


LONDON, Aug. 7.-Royal match
makers who would see the prince
of Wales wed, were stumped again
today, it appeared.
The Daily Mail said the engage
ment of Lady May Cambridge,
whose name often has been linked
with that of the heir to the British
throne, to Captain Henry Abel
Smith, is to be announced formal
ly soon. Lady Mays engagement
to marry Captain Smith could be
neither confirmed nor denied"
Coincidentally, it was announced
that Lady May and her parents
plan to leave for Holland tonight.
Lady May, a niece of Queen
Mary'S, is the daughter of the Earl
Of Athlone. Captain Smith was
aid-de-camp to the earl when he
was Governor General of South
Africa.
The prince of Wales and Lady
May long had been coupled in
rumors of romance in British So
ciety. On various occasions. their
close friendship had seemed to lend
credence to the otherwise unfound-
ed report.
