Rogers {. Lacy Dies;
Built Big Oil Fortune
After Wildcat Start
By The Assoeiofsd Press

EONGVIEW, Tex, Dec. TO-
Rogers E. Lacy, 63, fabulous Texan
OF rags-to-riches story, died yes
terday.
Mr.. Lacy had been in i'll health
since September 20 when he suffered
a heart attack.
Mr.. Lacy, who left the life of .
small town merchant to wildcat"
founded fortune in the East Texas
oil discovery of 1881 and expanded
until he was considered one of the
richest men in Texas at the time Of
his death.
Funeral services will be held here
tomorrow.
Mr.. Lacy worked as a telegrapher
in his youth.
He went into the Sawmill busi-
ness, then later into farming and
mercantile ventures in Kilgore, Tex,
and In Gregg and Upshur Counties.
Traded In Leases.
He became trader of leases when
indications of oil first appeared In
East Texas.
This venture almost broke him,
but he hung on until 1881, when the
East Texas field was discovered. As
his fortune expanded, he built re-
f1neries and pipelines and his leases
bulged with flowing wells.
His holdings stretched through
out Texas. Louisiana and Mississippi.
Recently he had branched into
other fields.
One of his latest ventures was a
proposed $10,0O0,00O hotel to be built
in Dallas. The project had been
in an inactive status because of his
health.
But plans had been drawn by
Frank Lloyd Wright, the architect,
and the building was to have an all
glass exterior.
Intimate frienos of the oil mag
nate would not hazard a guess as to
the size of the FORTUNE, but said he
was conceded to be one of the rich
est men in Texas.
During his hunt for oil, associates
said Mr.. Lacy had uncanny luck.
They said he drilled only one dry
hole in more than $50 attempts.
Survivors include the widow, MIS-.
Lawson Lacy; two daughters, Mrs.
]. w. Griffith of Longview and Mrs.
B. w. Grain. jr., of Houston; two
brothers, J. c. Lacy and Judge Ed

BpWC HEARS ABOUT
 NEW FREIGHT RATES
 AT LUNCHEON TODAY

The Business and Professional Women's Club held their regular business luncheon meeting today in the Gold Room of the Baranof, and were entertained by four pu- pills from Dorothy Roff's dancing school.
 Guest speaker, George Rogers, Administrative assistant to the Governor, spoke on the shipping situation, pointing out the discrim- ination of freight rates between industries. He stressed the point that the 35 percent increase is a very misleading figure, and gave a few instances where freight rates had been increased from Al per cent on dairy products to as high as 55 percent on trucks and cars, and 56 percent on beer and bev- erages.
 In the short business session, Amy Lou Blood appoint ed Mrs. Peg McCarron as Cam paign Chairman for Edna O'Con- nor. the BPWC candidate for Fourth of July Queen.
