Tarrant. The oil sand was reach
ed at a depth of 28O5 feet and oil
rose in the hole just as soon as
the bit penetrated the sand, which
was found to be "a feet thick and
saturated with oil from top to bot
tom when drilled through. Pro-
duction from this and another
we'll, which has been started in the
40 acres bordering on the north has
been contracted to the British
American Oil company for one year
at the posted price of $1.45 a bar
rel. The we'll, according to the
concensus of operators at Cut Bank
will make a settled production Of
$50 barrels a day. Harlan, the
landowner, will get Id of this
production and the remaining
S7RT will go entirely to Lawlor
and Hoerr.
Two favorable features were met
in the drilling of the new pro-
ducer. The production string Of
casing was set in the oil SAND
without cementing. Also during
the drilling, gas was cased off in
sufficient quantity to furnish
power for drilling other wells on
the lease and to pump the oil with
a minimum of expense.
1t is due to Lawlor's interest in
Cut Bank field that many other
Hardin people are getting month
ly royalty checks from Cut Bank
producers, and for that reason
there is more than passing inter-
est here in the success of these
two men in the new oil field.

Methods for disposing Of large
stocks of gasoline which are regarded
as q depressing influence on prices are
understood to be under consideration
by the Planning and Co-ordinating
Committee representing the oil in
dustry under the oil code.
The committee also was understood
to be seeking means Of preventing
a further increase in gasoline stocks
now totaling about 5000 900 barrels.
One Of the plans was said to call
for q system Of refinery quotas based
on runs Of crude during 1888 and
q prohibition against q refinery's buy
ing or running oil unless 1t could
show a market for the gasoline
produced.
Some sections Of the industry were
said to be in favor Of policing COM
panies to enforce quotas while an
other section favored self-regulation.
Another matter before the commit
tee today was the election Of new
officers.
Meanwhile, Secretary Ickes In re-
sponse to questions by reporters, said
yesterday there was danger Of sur
plus Western gasoline flooding the
Eastern market unless the proposed
Pacific st-Hawaii-Alaska cartel
were made effective.
Until It Is made effective in COM
pliance with the modified consent
decree now proposed. the oil admin
istration has no power to control

PARIS, March l4.-Prince Sixte de
Bourbon-Parme, brother of the form
er Empress. Zita of Hungary, and who
negotiated for World War peace in the
Spring of 1917, died today. He was
Al years old.
The Prince had been critically i'll

Seventh of 25 children of Robert,
Duke of Parme, Prince Sixte- Ferdi-
nand Marie Ignace Pierre Alphonse
of Bourbon-Parme was born in War
tegg Castle, Switzerland, August /,

In the Spring of 1917 his brother
in-law. the Emperor Charles I Of
Austria Hungary, took him from the
Belgian front, where he was a captain
OF artillery, to negotiate in strict
secrecy for separate Austrian peace.
He shuttled from country to coun-
try carefully concealing his move
ments on the Emperor's behalf. But
his work came to naugh when Italy
refused to consider peace.

Prince Sixte feared in advance, was

A comparison of Gen. Johnson's
first, second and third speeches before
the code authorities will give you a
tip on what happened
In the first he was going to impose
the hour reduction. He hinted at an
executive order to be issued by the
President. The second speech still
carried the same hint, but in milder
form. Exemptions were mentioned.
The third speech omitted all previous
hints and said, 1--WE boys will have to
get together"
II the committees from the capt.
tai goods and consumers goods in
duStries come doUn here merit Ueek
in cooperative frame OF mind
there wtH be no executive order.
What probably will happen is that
the business boys will agree to do
some things which will not cost them
any money, and every one will let it
go at that for the present.
Only Respite for Business.
It sounds like a big victory for the
business team, but it is only a respite.
The administration is not in a good
position to compel business to take
several million unemployed off its
hands just now. Two months of in
dustrial improvement are coming
Both the Government and business
will know much better in 60 days the
extent of their problem.
For the long run, shorter hours
and eUen national industrial plan
ming are still UiDfd possibilities.
They may come after the elec-
ton in November.

curtailment plan was neither Gen.
Johnsons original idea nor President

Renewed Stand on Bonus Seen

Without mentioning directly the

ment Of the bonus, President Roose-

paying off government obligations in

sought to send to conference with the
Senate the Independent Offices appro-
priation bill increasing by $3.50, ,000, 900
allowances for veterans and govern
ment employees.
President Roosevelt said he fears
that once a legislative body gets in
the habit Of paying debts in paper
money there will be no limit to it.
Once veterans are paid in such
fashion, he believes 1t most probable
that other workers-war time NUM-
tions workers, the government en-
ployes and others-will demand with

DEMOCRATS NEAR
TREASURER CHOICE
Cummings or WooIIen Ex.
pected to Be Selected
Before NightfaII.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Democratic National Commit
tee Is turning to the West for a new
treasurer. 1t was reported today, and
the prospect Is that an announce
ment will be made before night.
The names Of two Westerners men,
toned In connection with selection OF
a new treasurer are Waluer J. Cum
mings Of Illinois. who was here
until recently as a member of the
board having charge of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, and
Evans Woollen of Indiana, a banker
and Indiana's candidate for the DEM
ocratic presidential nomination sew
eral years ago.
Cohen Not Available
Former Senator John S. Cohen At
lanta publisher, was considered in
connection with the treasurership, but
1t is reported he was not able to give
the time to the job. The Democrats
are intent not only upon raising funds
TO carry on the coming congressional
campaign. but are anxious to pay of
the deficit of the National Committee,
which still stands somewhere near
half a million dollars-a legacy for
the most part from the campaign of
1928.
The treasurers Office has been va
cant since Frank j. Walker resigned
to give his whole time to the Execu-
tive Council, of which he is executive
secretary.
The National Committee is shy
secretary, too, owing to the resigna-
ton some weeks ago of Robert Jack
son of New Hampshire. who was
caught in the drive to rid the COM
mittee of lawyers who had come to
Washington to practice before the
Government departments.
Farley Power in Doubt.
Whether the national chairman,
Postmaster General Farley, has the
authority to appoint new secretary
is a matter which has not yet been
determined. The selection may have
TO be made by the committee itself.
However, the chairman has ample au-
thorlty to name treasurer, under the
rules of the committee, it was said
today.
So far as the chairmanship of the
National Committee is concerned,
there seems to be nothing immediate,
although the situation may change
overnight, depending entirely upon
the decision of President Roosevelt.
The President has indicated Mr.. Far
ley will be supplanted as chairman
as soon as a suitable man has been
found to fill the place of chairman.
There is one member of the National
Committee, now holding a Federal ap-
pointment, who is reported to be ready
TO surrender the Federal Office and re-
tain his committee membership. if the
matter is forced, it is said. This man,
according to report, has not cashed his
checks from the Government and is
prepared to hand them all back to the
Treasury If he gets out of his present
position with the Government.
Whether this committee member will
go to this extent remains to be seen.
