Price Slash Brings About
Conference.
By the Associated Press.


/ TYLER, Tex, September 28.-South-
western oil operators, conservation Off
cials, bankers and publishers agreed at
a conference here to support a cut in
crude oil production # it were found
necessary to prevent reduction IN prices.
The conference was called last right
by Carl Estes, Tyler publisher, fter re-
ports that large purchasers were plan
ming to slash prices. At present the
top price is ST a barrel.
Gov w. H. Murray of Oklahoma adj
dressed the gathering by radio and re-
viewed his efforts Of year ago in be-
half of proration and higher crude
prices. He said his work had brought
Texas into line in holding down produc-
tion and advocated petition to Con-

REVOLT THREATENS
MANCHUKU0 STATE
All Communications Down
After Call for Aid.
Toxic Alarmed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, September 28-Fear that a
serious revolt against the new state
of Manchukuo had broken out in
Western Heilungkiang Province in Man
churia worried Japanese government
officials today.
Communication with the western
part of the huge northern province
appeared to have broken down COM
pletely, it was said. after the japanese
consul telegraphed Tsitsihar, asking for
help.
The consul said bands of Chinese
railway guards had risen in rebellion
and that a Japanese airplane, which
was sent out on scouting expedition
west of Tsitsihar, failed to return.
Soviets Offer Refuge.
The foreign Office expressed the hope
that japanese consular representatives
and residents of the section had taken
refuge in Russian territory since the
Soviet government had agreed to afford
them protection in the event of trouble.
officials said they were fearful, how
ever, that a small group of japanese
'on special military duty in the terri
tory might have been killed.
News of the revolt did not come as a
complete surprise, they said, because
Gen. Su PingWen, formerly subor-
dinate of Gen Ma Chan-Shan, is COM
mander of the Chinese Eastern Railway
guard garrison at Hailar. which has
charge of the territory west of the Kin
CHAN Mountains and he never actually
was brought into the Manchukuo fold,
although he accepted nom1nally the
Chang-Chun regime.
The nearest japanese military forces
were at Tsitsihar, where Gen. Matsuki' s
division in concentrated.
Chinese Flag Raised.
Dispatches reaching the Rengo (Japa-
neSe) News Agency office at Harbin
confirmed reports that the insurgents
had occupied the City of Manchuli, on
the Manchurian-S Siberian frontier, and
also the towns of Hailar, Puhatu and
Dalainor, hauling down the flag of
Manchukuo and raising the Chinese ma
tional banner.
There was heavy fighting at Man
chuli. where the garrison of Manchukuo
troops was overpowered and disarmed
after the insurgents had destroyed the
barracks
The japanese consul appealed to the
Soviet authorities across the border for
protection and the Russian officials
recommended that the Japanese colony
withdraw to Russian territory. They
were expected to do this as quickly as
possible.

although he did not take his seat until
1911.
While in the House he was leader OF
the Democratic forces in the days OF
Uncle Joe" Cannon. He Immediately
became a leader in the Senate and de-
voted much of his time to healing the
breach between the North and South.
Break With Vardaman.
1t was in the days when he was ar
IDENTIFY defending Woodrow Wilson that
he broke with James K. Vardaman, his
Mississippi colleague, and disrupted his
States political harmony. Vardaman
opposed many of Wilson's war measures
and Williams took an active part in the
campaign when Pat Harrison defeated
Vardaman.
Senator Williams was made flattering
offers for lectures and stories when he
retired. One group was reported to
have offered him $4,000 a year to
write a weekly article on any subject.
II wouldn't be tied down to do anything
once a week for anybody, or for S30,-
000," the Senator said.
Life was kind to him after the crows
feet gathered about his eyes and he
lived in land of plenty. One Of his
last public utterances was I'm going
home to Mississippi and as night and
time for bed approaches, I will listen

man ever heard-the voices Of my
mocking birds"
Fought Treaty Of Berlin.
In the after-the-war days Williams

istration, and also of the Knox-Porter

His mother, whose maiden name was
Annie Lewis Sharp, having died, and
Memphis being threatened by the Union
