Without the flourish which
the tribesmen would have doubt
less liked, Santa Rita Oil com
pany spudded its No. Tribal
well, in the SEX NwA Section
15-s5-6W. a quarter of a mile
west of the No. 1 well which
recently came into production,
making a four-mile extension to
the field.
The two wells will be pumped
from a power plant midway be-
tween them, with a Superior
engine moved from the Santa
Rita-Yunck lease in the southern
end OF the field. Owing to the
fact that none excepting the
Santa Rita and the Texas COM
pany have acreage in the dis
trict, this is the only immediate
result of the important extern
sion to the field. Texas company

Il had about given up hope" he
said. Il left my car for a few
minutes and when I came back it
was gone. Who took it?"
J-8 told him the mystery was
not quite solved. They went to
the Borough Hall side street where
the car had been left, but the
trail was too old. J-8 decided he
would have to try other tactics.
Hayes, convicted in the state
courts and sentenced to eighteen
months on Welfare Island, was at
first not very susceptible to con-
versation when J-8 approached
him in the visiting room.
why don't you tell the truth?"
J-8 asked.
Il told the truth"
Come on. I know all about
Berman!"
Hayes leaped to his feet.

In a few hours J-8 had the
whole story of Car No. 81.
Stolen from Soshnick by a regu-
lar lift" squad employed by the
ring it was driven at once to the
organizations garage.
There a coat of paint was quick

plates were removed and dropped

After considerable search JIG
emerged from the storeroom tri-
umphant. Car No. 81 had been
put in the garage at the Dreamer
hotel three months previously by
Leo Berman, of Brooklyn, N. Y.
T-8 telegraphed the bureau, and
- instituted a search of police
records in all cities between Dallas
and New York. Before he arrived
in New York, traffic violations
against Car No. 81 had been To-
Gated in Louisiana, Ohio, and New
Jersey. He had proof of the cars
interstate movement.
Whether Berman was the le-
ultimate owner of the car J-8
could not at once determine. Motor
vehicle records failed to show his
name. Who was Berman? That
was the next question.
The agents first act on return
ing to New York, however. was
to complete his examination of
Car No. 81. And to his delight he
and the police detective who
helped him found a number on the
generator which only partially
had been erased.
A magnifying glass showed the
number to be K-7856981. With this.
determination of the original
owner was easy. The factory re-
ported the car had been sold to
William Soshnick, of Bay Twenti-
eth Street, Brooklyn.
Mr.. Soshnick was we'll pleased
to see Agent J-8.

seized as stolen.
Agent J-8 hurried to head
quarters and joined in the ques-
tioning Of Hayes.
We'll" said Hayes, Il may as
we'll admit it. You've got me
right. I'm the big cheese and you
don't need to look any further"
He refused to talk any more.
But J-8 was far from convinced
that Hayes was the criminal mas
ter mind he pretended to be. He
was far too meek
In a garage in Brooklyn the po-
lice found a stolen automobile to
which they said Hayes had the
keys.
J-8 examined the car with
them, but apparently all the iden-
tifying numbers had been re-
moved. The license plates had
been taken from another stolen
car.
The bureau of investigation has
jurisdiction over stolen auto cases
when the theft is planned or car
ried out in more than one state.
So J-8 paid particular attention to
interstate aspects of the stolen
car, which was listed on the
bureaus record as car No. 81.
n
TIE subjected Car No. 81 to a
Il most thorough inspection. The
motor number and the serial
number had been chiseled off.
He dismantled the car, but the
ring was too smart to be caught
easily. The secret axle number
had been eradicated and so had
the body number.
Without these numbers J-8
would be unable to trace it to its
owner, and so if the car had
been stolen in another state-he
might be unable to prove viola
ton of federal laws.
But before he had completed
his examination, J-8 came upon a
clew that sent him half way
across the United States.
-1.der the back seat was a hotel
room key, bearing the name of a
hotel in Dallas, Texas. This, J-8
thought, might be the clincher.
J-8 went homo for his suitcase,
but still he couldn't stop for sup
per. A short time later he was
in Dallas.
At the Dreamer hotel he sought
the manager.
L want the names Of every
body who has occupied Room 300
in the last few months, he said.
Il want to locate the owner of
Cadillac we found in New York. -
Il can help you quicker than
that" said the manager. I'VE keep
a record Of cars owned by guests.
Maybe you can find the license
number there

One Member Possible,
Under Changes in Eli.

Indiana could have a highway
commission of one member, under

that the Governor may appoint a
commission of not more than three
members.
Provision that not n ore than two
members of the commission should

it discretionary with the Governor
to appoint whom he pleases, with
out reference to political utilization.
Can Name Chairman
McNutt likewise has the sole right
to name the chairman of the COM
mission, if he appoints more than
one member, who shall hold that
office at the Will of the Governor"
Originally, the measure said that
the three commission members
should select their own chairman.
who should retain that office for
one year.
These house amendments, rushed
by administration forces when they
were referred to the senate for con-
currence, also provided for the nom

materials when bids were let.
Debate Cut OF
Another amendment gives the
highway commission sole control
over grade separations when a state
highway crosses a steam or electric
railroad inside of city and town
limits, as we'll as in the country.
In referring to grade separations,
the original words, within limits of
cities and towns" were stricken from
the measure.
1t was learned that several of
these amendments were handed to
Speaker Earl Crawford, who passed
them on to Representative Edward
H. Stein Dem, BloOmfieId), ma jOr-
ity floor leader, for presentation.
Debate on the house amendments
when they reached the senate was
cut off by parliamentary tactics.

MOSCOW, Feb. 13.-War; the
fear of it and the frantic prepare
tons to meet it, runs like vermil-
lion streak throughout the speech
made by Joseph Stain recently.
The unqueStioned ruler of all the
Russias has one answer to all
questions and one justification for
all shortcomings: War!
Why was such an exacting tempo
of construction adopted in the initial
flve-year plan, with consequent
strain, shortage and suffering?
This question has been insisted
upon by the right opposition. 1t has
been the motif of all the grumbhng
in hard pressed nation.
Expresses War Fear
I'VE did not know on which day."
answered Stain, the imperialists
of the world would attack our coun-
try and halt our construction.
That they could have done so,
taking advantage of our technical
weakness, there was not the slightest
doubt.
That is why the Communist
party was obliged to whip up the
country, to lose no time, to use to
the very limit the breathing space
and manage to create in the Soviet
Union the ramparts Of industriallza-
ton"
Why was everything concentrated
lation famished for the everyday
goods of light industry?
Because" Stain emphasized, 1--WE
would then have been unarmed
against the capitalist encirclement
which is armed with modern tech
nique.
Cites Plight of China
Our situation would then have
been more or less similar to that of
present day China, which does not
possess its own heavy industry,
which lacks it's own military indus
try so that any one who cares to
take the trouble can tear off bit OF
it's territory"
Why has the five-year plan not
been completed 100 per cent by the
end of 1882, as promised in the Of
fetal slogans?
This, the last and perhaps bitter
est of plants, followed the obvious
non fulfillment of the plan in the
full measure hoped for.
True, we lack 6 per cent in the
carrying out of the general pro-
gram" said Stain. But that is eX-
planned by the fact that neighboring
countries have refused to sign a
pact of non-aggression with us; and
also on account Of the complications
in the far east we were obliged hur-
riedly to transfer series Of fac
tories to strengthen our defense and
produce modern weapons"
Worth While, Is Claim
It was Stains boast, however,
that the sacrifices were worth while,
since they have placed his nation in
a position to hurl back any attack
The emphasis placed by the Krem-
Inns iron leader on the war danger
past and present had a twofold OBJ
jective, it seems.
In the first place, it was meant to
serve as a warning to Japan that
Russia is ready to fight, and to con-
quer, should the necessity be forced
upon it.
In the second place, it was calcu-
lated as a blanket explanation and
apology for the harsh political
regime enforced here in the past
few years, and now being made even
harsher, even less compromising.

STOCK MARKET
QUIZ HINGES ON
NEW WORKERS
More Vigorous Probe May
Be Made Under New
Roosevelt Regime.
BY RAY TUCKER


WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-With
the senatorial investigation Of the
New York Stock Exchange drag
ging to slow death, responsibility
Tor a more vigorous prosecution
under the new administration may
depend upon three New York men.
They are President-E Elect Frank
lin d. Roosevelt, whose attitude I'M
doubtedly will influence Democratic
leaders in their decisions; Senator
Robert +. Wagner, who may become
mead OF the committee under Demo-
cratic control, and Ferdinand Pc
cora, who was named committee
counsel after several others had re-
signed with charges that the sena-
torial group did not want a real
inquiry.
Probe to Continue
1t generally is believed the in
vestigation will be continued by the
Democrats, although the trend and
extent still is undecided
Mr.. Roosevelt demanded regula-
ton and publicity with respect to
stock and bond issues during the
campaign, and the committees
study of the Kreuger and Toll fiasco
revealed the need Of more rigid con-
troll Of certain financial companies
books and audits.
The New York influence in the
investigation strikes some commit
tee members as ironic, for it orig
inally was felt that supervision of
the examination should be kept out
of the hands of any one even geo.
graphically associated with Wall
Street.
Bar Skilled Lawyers
For this reason the committee re-
fused to seek the services of such
skilled lawyers as Samuel Inter
myer or Max Steuer, both of New
York, and turned to other sections
Of the country for counsel.
After little success was obtained
by these men in cross examining
golden figures of the Exchange, the
committee finally turned to the
man who headed Seabufy's staff of
Notwithstanding Ben Cooper.
But he resigned with the charge
that chairman Peter Norbeck (Rep.,
N. d. refused to give him free
hand, and then PeCora was selected.
He at one time was a Tammany
assistant district attorney at New
York
1t is known efforts to get the
services of Untermyer or Steuer
were made before Pecora was en-
gagged, but neither man would serve.

They did a poor job on the

Hayes statement was a revela-
ton. He told of a huge con-
spiracy, an organization that hired
garage owners, mechanics, dealers,
lawyers, doctors. Several pretty
women we're members.
The most interesting fact, how
ever, was that there was a man
named Berman-and he was chief
of them all!
why did he tie himself up to
that carp" J-8 asked.
1T was just a pleasure trip"
said Hayes.
THERE were two things more
Il to be done before the round
up. Agents closed in on the
garage through which stolen cars
were sold-as factory seconds, :"
or cars intended for expectation
only, and so salable cheap. The
last step was to locate Berman.
1t was a woman who gave that
tip. She called the bureau on the
telephone and one afternoon, less
than three weeks after he had en-
tered the case, J-6 led several
policemen and other agents to a
house at Second avenue and
Eighteenth street. Berman sur
rendered without resistance.
What's this all about?" he de-
manded. J-8 told him.
by the way, you're supposed to
be a master mind" J-9 added.
DO you know what I'm going to
do next"
NO" said Berman.
I'm going home and get sup

in various parts of the country

raids.
Many received heavy sentences,
