Properly SWorn-after some
wrangling over the Craftsmanship
President RooSevelt'S new Stock
Market Regulating Commission
convened today for it's second
formal meeting, with the question
of quarters uppermost in every
members mind.
Today'S meeting was a rather
informal affair, held in the office
of James M. Lands, who gave up
his post as a Federal trade com
missioner, when he was sworn into
the new body.
Both Mr.. Kennedy and Ferd-
inand Pecora, the former attorney
for the Senate Banking Commit.
tee during its stock market in
quiry, have established temporary
residence in hotels here.
There is some doubt whether
Mr.. Pecora will serve his full year
on the commission. He said that
while he hoped to do so, there are
certain family claims that remind
him that he left a lucrative private
law practice. He said:
81 will try my best, however
I believe this stock market law
is one Of the most progressive
that has been enacted within
quarter of a century, and I want
to do all 1 can to help its opera
ton"

100 SECURITIES
RISE IN JUNE

The market value of 100 repre-
sentative common stocks recov-
cred $52,951 900 in June, or o.
per cent, but the total of $13, 1872
$4,000 at the end of the month
was $1,4S2, 776, 900, or almost 10
per cent below that shown on June
30, 1888 and $712, 1853. 900 lower
than at the beginning of the year,
according to Frazier Jelke and
Company.
In the second quarter stocks
lost more ground than was gained
in the first three months, the
value of the group dropping ST.
743, PA 900 from March 81 to the
end of June, or more than II per
cent, as compared with an in
crease in the first quarter of ST.
031,0S1 900.
Eight of the Is divisions in the
index scored advances in June,
the largest of which on a percen-
tage basis was in the metal shares.
Next came the building, industrial
chemical and merchandising is
sues. Of the five classifications
which lost ground the weakest
was the utilities, with drop Of Al
per cent. The steelS were barely
lower, while the rail equipments
and oils declined slightly more

HOT OIL OUTPUT
SEEN CURBED

The "country's greatest racket
the running of hot oil, has been
effectively checked through the
efforts of Secretary Ickes and his
insistence on the tenth Of one
cent tax per barrel on oil pro-
duction. This tax which went
into effect on July l caught the
oil racketeer, it is explained IN
the current number Of the T. S.
Hose review, in the same way
that the income tax has caught
other prominent racketeers. The
Hose Survey says:
"A review Of the petroleum
industry for the first six months
of this year is gratifying. 1t is
entirely due to the efforts OF
Harold L. Ickes. Secretary OF
the Interior, and the loyal CO.
operation not only Of the Plan
ming and Coordination Com.
mittee, composed Of men who
know what it is all about and
are fearless of the racketeering
element, but also to the CO.
OneratiOn of the great Oil
companies of this country, given
at the sacrifice of tremendous
financial gain.
During January there were
approximately 10000 barrels
a day of "hOt oil" being run.
Legitimate business that month,
because of this condition, was
cut down by approximately
S4,SOO,OOO Royalty owners were
! defrauded out Of approximately
$500, 900.
ESTIMATES during June show
that this ''hOt Oil'' has been cut
down to approximately 10000
barrels a day. Legitimate busi-
ness will not suffer by more
than 100000. and royalty
owners will be defrauded out
of not more than $112,5OO. In
addition to all of this hot OIL
demand has increased so that
legitimate oil operators can do
a business during June Of
approximately $1O,OOO,OOO more
than they did last January.
During most Of this six
months period, the hands Of
the authorities were tied be-
cause Of q decision of a Fed
eral court in Texas which was
recently reversed by a Federal
court in New Orleans. Enforce

By E. n. CASE

With the end of the first half
only a few games away all the
teams in the county league put
on the pressure Saturday after
noon with the results that some
sensational baseball was played.
But by far the outstanding feat
of the day was a nO-hit no-run
masterpiece turned in by Hous-
ton, Valley Hill hurler. against
the strong Fletcher team to gain
a thrilling l to 0 victory for his
team. In performing the spec
tacular feat Houston pitched mas
terfl bali from the first inning to
the last and was invincible at al
times. He faced only % batSmen
during the contest and allowed
only one man to reach second
base and only two to reach first.
In the fourth with two men out
Sorrell was safe at first when
Williams fumbled his easy
grounder at short, J. Baldwin
then received a walk. advancing
Sorrells to second. But E. Bald
win struck out to end the inning
and Fletcher failed to get an
other man on the sacks during
the remainder of the game.
On the other hand, JustuS
pitched shutout ball for Fletcher
and probably wouldn't have been
scored on had he not uncOrked q
wild pitch in the seventh with
Williams on third base. Williams
had doubled and advanced to
third on a fielder's choice follow,
ing a strikeout when Justus un,
corked the wild heave which lei
Williams cross the plate with
what proved to be the winning
marker.
