ing him with the murder Of Elmer

ton attorney, who was shot and
stabbed to death near here Octo-
ber 3, was made today by . Balti-
more pawnbroker. who pointed
out Ross as the man who pawned
Davidson's wrist watch.
Harry Klotzman, the pawn
broker, was the third witness the
State put on the stand to build
up its contention that the motive
for the murder Of Davidson was
robbery and not the result Of i'm
proper advances made by the
washington attorney, as the de-
tense is trying to prove.
BULLET IDENTIFIED
The State also moved one step
closer to clinching it's case that
it was Ross who murdered David
son when Lieut.. John H. Fowler,
of the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment of washington, was put son
the stand to testify that the lead
slug taken from the victims head
was fired from the .38-caliber re-
Tolver which was taken from Ross
home shortly after the murder.
Fowler, q ballistic expert, told
the jury that he was positive that
the slug taken from Davidson's
head was fired from the revolver
which police found in Ross home.
Chief among the State witnesses
scheduled to take the stand today
is Sergt. E. j. McDermott, who
brought about the arrest Of Ross
and is credited with drawing the
written confession from him. Nc
Dermott is expected to relate all
particulars of his conversation
with Ross which led up to the con-
fession.
Shortly before the noon recess
the State completed its examina-
tion of all of its "a witnesses ex-
cept one who is not present. They

OIL FIRM PROFITS
CONTINUE TO RISE
Standard Statistics Estimates
Second Quarter Earnings Will
Exceed Year Ago.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 1e.-Second
quarter earnings of the petroleum In
dustry will probably compare favorably
with those for year ago, and, barring
the unexpected, this condition should
be maintained over the rest of the
year, according to the Standard Sta
tistics Co.. Of New York.
The statistical position Of the oil
industry underwent an encouraging
improvement In the first week Of
June. Total crude oil production was
3.538150 barrels a day, down IS $50
barrels from the daily rate Of the
previous week. The trend this year
had been almost uninterruptedly up
ward. The decline itself, although
the largest Of any week Of 1887, was
not substantial, but it reflects the
more rigid production allowables al
lotted for June and 1t indicates that
II these allowables are observed, the
steady additions to crude inventories
this year will be halted
The leading oil producing States
placed their June production allow
ables within l per cent OF the totals
recommended by the United States
Bureau of Mines. which have been
calculated more closely in line with
probable requirements than has been
the case thus far this year. 1t is
thus expected that production and
demand will be well balanced this
month.

Victory Restores
NdWConfidenCe

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 10.-The VIC
tory over Syracuse in the ring Sat
urday evening did much towards
restoring the Navy's prestige in
that sport, and it's boxers now look
forward to the meeting with Vir-
ginia at Annapolis Saturday with
confidence, taking care, however,
that it will not be beyond bounds.
In Virginia, Navy meets the
only opponent which holds an edge
in the boxing series. BY virtue OF
three straight wins, the Cavaliers
stand three to two against the
Navy, so that a Navy win Satur-
day would not only break Vir-
ginia's chain Of victories but also
even the series.
It is believed that the Navy
has a good chance to win, but
there will be no over-confidence,
and the local boxers are training
diligently under their veteran
coach, Spike Webb. Back of the
remarkable development Of the
green Navy boxers this year is the
fact that nearly every team man
was given the hardest kind of a
fight for his place, and all know
that they cannot let up or another
fighter will be in their place.
Indications, however, point to
the use Of the same boxers when
Navy won the two fights already
held-against Western Maryland
and Syracuse.

Owner Rupert
Waits En- Out

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The New
York Yankees today we're couple
of steps nearer to nowhere in their
efforts to get together a baseball
team for defense of the American
League pennant.
Throttled by one Of the tough
est general salary strikes in the
history of the club, Col. Jake Rup-
pert, owner OF the baking ath.
letes, has settled down to waiting
'em out, but finds himself with
plenty of company. Almost all of
his employees are following the
same tactics.
The quiet vigil on both sides
temporarily was broken today by
announcement that Vito TamuliS,
a left-handed pitcher baniShed to
the Yanks' Newark farm last sea-
son, and Don Heffner. a bench
polishing infielder, had signed.
But that still makes total Of
little more than a half-dozen
ready for spring training, the
roster being embellished by the
names of only three regulars
