FACE INQUIRY
Senate Asked to Order In
veStigation of u. S.
Oil Industry.

BIZ Scripps-Hornrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, June 9.-In the
midst Of the J. P Morgan investiga-
ton, the senate is being asked to
approve another inquiry that prob
ably will call the Rockefeners and
their aids to testify.
Senator William G. McAdoo
Dem, CALI has introduced a reso-
luton seeking a senate investigation
of the oil industry, and this could
not be conducted without the Rookie
feller petroleum interests playing a
big part
McAdoo, incidentally, is among
the senators conducting the Morgan
investigation, and his name was on
two of j. P Morgan and Co.'S lists
of preferred purchasers Of stocks at
bargain prices.
There can be no doubt, said Nc
AdOo, that the elements of a giant
private monopoly are in the petro-
leum industry of the United States.
For the past few years, a combine
embracing the entire civilized world
has been in the making in the oil
industry.
The protection Of our people de-
mands that there be no private mo-
nopoly in the oil business. Congress
must take all necessary action to
prevent it,
The price of gasoline and other
oil products to the consumer is
fixed by arbitrary action. The gil
gantic combinations of capital that
control the production, transporta-
ton, marketing and distribution of
the products Of this industry must
not be left uncontrolled by proper
governmental agencies"
Control such as Senator McAdoo
suggests is contained at least in part
in the national recovery bill.
The senate oil sections are broad
or than is generally recognized. and
under them something approaching
federal dictatorship" of the in
dustry-but without that name
which upset Senator McAdoo, his
constituents in the oil business
and others-is possible.

 Helped Them Out

 mund Kenny, 22, of Methuen,
 Mass. and Mary, 20 his bride of two days were embarrassed newly weds today because of a Brooklyn subway jam:
 They were separated for several
 hours last night and it took police aid to reunite them. Kenny, breathlees, rushed into a police station.
 i've lost my wife," he blurted. well now" began Lieut.. Joseph
 Gassman, that may be a tragedy
 or a blessing."
 "But we've only been married
 since Sunday" Kenny interrupted. The lieutenant understood and immediately began using a tele- phone. Mrs Kenny was found, she had gone to another police station. A radio patrol car rushed her to her husband.
 The Kennys were caught in the evening subway jam. As passengers surged out of a car, Mrs Kenny was carried with them. The hus- band remained in the car. When Kenny discovered his wife was missing, he took the first train back to the last station. She ap- parently had taken another train in search of him. Neither appar-
 ently thought of continuing on to their original destination, the home
 of an aunt.
 Their frantic 1iding in the sub-
 way continued for several hours
 and then both realized they could
 not find each other that way. They
 reported themselves lost to police.
 Kenny was too embarrassed to pose for photographers, but ad- mitted he would return to 52 Woodland road, Lawrence, Mass, in a day or two. He formerly lived at 12 Penney St., Methuen.

WAXEY GORDON WAS VERY ANGRY
Internal Revenue Agent Says He Cleaned Up
 $4,OOO,O0O in Beer

New York, Nov 29-UP)-Over the bitter protests of defense coun- sel an internal revenue agent testi- fled in federal court today that Waxey Gordon, Eastern beer baron amassed a net income of more than $4,500,000 from two of his brewery properties in 1880 and 1881.
 Waxey's heavy, customarily inn passive face creased in anger as Arthur J. Fectau offered his sur prise testimony. The indictment charging the racketeer with tax evasion, had been based on an in- come of only $2,500,000 for the two years.
 Fectau said the breweries at Union City and Paterson. N. J., gave Gordon '$2,090,204 in 1890, and $2,465,233 in 1881. On these alleged incomes, Gordon should have paid taxes of $513.244 and $6O7,O32 respectively. The govern ment alleges he paid $10.76 in 1880 and $2,605 in 1881.

 The police squads, which visited total of 75 establishments, seized a few quarts or pints here and there in outlying sections, but in the center of the city their labors were in vain.
 The governors much-publicized statement of yesterday afternoon. warning local police throughout the state to "get busy or I will' was ample warning for all types of night hangouts. Stocks of alcoholic beverages were hidden or disposed of. and long before arrival of the raiders patrons had been told that they were coming. Most of them remained ito see the fun"

BY ELMER C. WALZER HTnifed Press Financial Editor

New York, Nov 29- (UP)- Stocks ruled firm today in typically dull preholiday trading. Sales failed to reach the million-share mark. being under a half million at the end of the fourth hour.
 Many traders left the finaDcial district until after the Thanksgiv- ing day shut down and late in the day dealings had simmered down
 to mere routine operations. Tickers were idle for minutes at time be- tween sales.
 At no time during the session was there any semblance of selling pressure. Sellers were reticent to part with their holdings except at rising prices and buying demand was slightly better in some sessions of the list.
 Railroad issues firmed up on es- inmates November net operating in- come would make a better show ing in comparison with 1892 than October. The latter month. it is es- timated, will fall below a year ago
 Recently the carrier group had been unsettled to the detriment of the remainder of the market. New
 York Central and Pennsylvania met relatively good demand in today's session and the whole group ruled firm.
 The market started better as the dollar declined and gold advanced.
 The R. F. c. boosted it's gold buy ing price to a record high at $33.93, rise of cents over yesterday. The dollar which had been steady immediately turned down, but fluc-
 tuations were relatively narrow throughout the day.
 Automobile issues were bid up
 more than point with most activ- ity in Chrysler. November sales of
 new passenger automobiles in the
 United States will approximate
 108,000 units, exceeding November
 sales of the last three years, ac-
 cording to an estimate by .R. L. Polk & Co.
 Favorable news from the steel industry helped the steel group where U. s. Steel rose more than a point. At a time of the year
 when the trend of output is gener-
 ally downward, iron and steel re-
 leases are showing slight gain,
 which is being reflected in mill ! operation" the iron age said in
 placing rate of production for the
 country at 2S per cen of capacity against 27 1-2 per cent last week

YOUTHS CLAIMED
 THE LEADERSHIP
They Led the Mob That Lynched Two Men, So
 They Assert

San Jose, Cal, Nov. 29-UP)- The district attorneys office today investigated the "boastful" stories of youths in their teens who claim ed to have led the mob which lynched two kidnap-slayers of Brooke l.. Hart. But officials were doubtful if anything would come of it.
 "If we can find any one to cor roborate these statements, of course we will be forced to take some ac- tion," district attorney Fred Thom- as said.
 In the statements several boys described how they had organized the "lynching party" directed the attack on the old brick jail, and procured the ropes used to hang Thomas Thurmond and John Hol- mes. The prisoners had confessed to killing Hart before they made ransom demands on his wealthy father.
 Thomas doubted investigators would find anyone to swear out complaints.
