HOUSTON IS IN CENTER OF OIL PRODUCTION Sulphur, Salt and Ship Interests Recently Acquired. BUSINESS ACTIVE Deep Waterway Leads Ocean Vessels to Wharves. Special to Indiana Daily Times slid Philadelphia Public Ledger. By RICHARD SPiLLANE. HOUSTON, Texas, Oct, 24.—Once Houston's interests were centered largely on cotton and cattle, wheat and lumber. Now they include oil and sulphur, salt and ships. The city is the center of a great oil producing region, and, as if it does not have enough to draw upon, the West Columbia, Blue Ridge, Goose Creek, Humble and various other fields, that of the Mexia district, has been added lately. Like Log Angeles, Houstop has made a port for itself. It had la Buffalo Bayou a waterway that lUrlit draft vessels could navigate in. With the aid of the Government it has deepened and widened this stream and today ocean-going craft can come up to the turning basin within the city limits. OIL ACTIVITIES BRING IMPROVEMENTS. For eight miles along the fifty miles of available water frontage the ship channel is dotted with warehouses and wharves, cotton compresses, oil refill eries, grain elevators and various industrial establishments. There are oil pipe lines and pumping stations and tank farms galore. Os oil refineries alone there are eleven, including the Sinclair. Galena, Signal, Crown. Koen and Woolfe. Deep Water, Patex, Mogul, Humble. Turubow, Port Houstond and Laporte companies. Houston has faith in becoming a great port. In 1920, the first full year of the port’s activities, its commerce, foreign and domestic, aggregated 1,110,204 tons, of $32,301,162 values. This year’s total probably will be less. There Is more movement of grain, but the cotton crop is very short and the oil business is slow. There Is no doubt (Continued on Page Five.)

Texas, Oct. 24—The idea that rhe body of the “mystery man” found a suicide in a hotel at Miami, F!a., is that of Warren G. Spurgin, absconding head of the Michigan Avenue Trust Company of Chicago, is scouted by the district manager of a nationally known detective agency who trailed Spurgin to Chihuahua, Mexico. "It is either a case of mistaken identity or a ruse to try and get us off the trail. I received a telegram Sunday from my men in Chihnahua and he still was there,” the district head announced. DAUGHTER ON WAY TO MIAMI CHICAGO, Oct. 24. —Miss Vivian Sphirgin; daughter of Warren C.

Republican Party on Brink of Disaster Because of Dilatory Tactics of Con ~ress

Threatening Mutters From Business on Increase, Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By FREDERICK WILLIAM WILE. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2A—That tha Republican party is on the brink of disaster is the conclusion frankly roached at a conference of leaders in Washington last week. Conceded failure of the huge G. O. P., majority in Congress to satisfy the country's expectations of taxation and tariff reform is the cause of alarm. What leaders said to themselves, in coldblooded candor, is that the party has not keep its campaign pledges to the people. They are convinced the situation is uoh as to threaten overwhelming rebuke in the 1922 elections. No one is more upset over the state of affairs than Senator Penrose. He did not mince words in b!s discussion of it with organization officials. The chairman of the Senate Finance Committee told them it is plain as daylight that the G. O. P. is “slipping”—and “slipping” to possibly Irretrievable depths. The insurgent Republicans in the Senate, notably the belligerent “farm bloc,” primarily are blamed for clogging the legislative wheels and frustrating the Administration's plighted business program. If the “Ken-Cap Klan”—Senator Moses’ picturesque nickname for the , Western agricultural group headed by Senators Kenyon and Capper—keeps up its fight on the tax bill, the ratlroad- | funding scheme and the foreign debt project recommended by Secretary Mellon, I Republican leaders, make no bones about | saving the jig is up. The party, they lugubriously lament, might as well get ready for defeat at next year's congressional polls. Senator Penrose is quoted as having said the Republican majority in Congress already has met Us Waterloo. He declares the humiliation is all the harder to bear because it has been brought about from within, and not from without the organization’s own ranks. ORGANIZATION LEADERS HASTEN TO WASHINGTON. Feeling that Washington often is over dangerously out of touch with popular sentiment. Republican organization leaders hastened to the Capital to reflect It. Many of them same hither with blood in their eyes. What they had to report

ILLEGAL TAX COLLECTIONS NOT REGAINED Supreme Court Holds Suits for Recovery Unlawful. TQWNLEY TO JAIL WASHINGTON. Oct. 24—The Supreme Court of the United States today decided that suits cannot be maintained against a collector of internal revenue to recover back taxes alleged to have been exacted illegally by and paid to his predecessor in office. The Indiana Steel Company brought such action against Collector Sonnietanka. at Chicago. The Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago asked the Supreme Court to decide the question involved. The conviction and sentence of A. C. Townley and Joseph Gilbert of the National Nonpartisan League for violation of the Minnesota law ugainst Interference with rhe draft or selective service law and the sale of Liberty bonds, must stand. The Supreme Court of the United States refused an ap|e-ai from the two men for review and reversal of the Judgment of the lower courts. The ctfurt set for argument the Wlseon sin rate cases on Dec. 3 and the North Dakota rate cases on .Tan 3. These cases Involve the legality of provisions of the transportation act of 1920, having to do with intrastate traffic and rates.

Plan Long Hours to Make Senate Act on Tax Bill

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—8 y holding the Se te in session from early morning ,-til late at night, Republican leaders planned today a determined drive to force passage of the pending compromise tax hill by the end of this of the early part of next week. Sessions from 10 a. m. to midnight, If necessary, were suggested by Senator Penrose, Republican, Pennsylvania, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, iu charge of the bill, to avoid what he described as “neeedless and frivolous delays.” Senator Lodge, Massachusetts, Republican leader, and Curtis, Rausas, Republican whip, agree# to join with Penrose in bringing pressure to compel a full attendance of the Republican side at all hours. Democratic leaders arranged to have their side constantly on hand in aifticipation of the bitter fight brewing over the proposed repeal of the excess profits tax. V J in a nutshell. Is that the Nation is satisfied with President Harding—that his popularity is unmistakably on rhe In crease—but that disgust with the tactics and “politics” of Congress is vast aud virulent. Leaders expressed the view that President Harding is more or less on probation at the moment tn connection with the railroad strike. They declared the ’country as a whole was ready for any kind of leadership in the railroad war except weakness —that If Mr. Harding showed any inclination to yield the in .ilgnation now concentrated on Capitol Hill Inevitably would be widened to include the White House. Leaders pointed out it wonld be impossible to exaggerate the disaffection In the business world with Congress failure to effect tax reform. Financiers, manufacturers, merchants, shippers, small-fry trades peoples of all sorts, traditionally rock-ribbed in Republican loyalty, now can be heard threatening, from one end of the Union to the other, to desert the party at the first opportunity unless ac-

INDIANAPOLIS, MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1921.

Harding Appealed to by Leaders Who Visit Capital. •tion at Washington speedily supersedes dilly-dallying. The G. O. P. treasury still faces considerable deficit. It is proving thankless business to pass the ! liat among the moneyed people of the country umld prevailing conditions in Washington. BUSINESS ANNOYED AT SOLONS’ NEGLECT. There is another sei ous indictment of tiie Republican regime, leaders reported. It refArs to the growing annoyance of business over the stili persisting chaos, as It is termed, tn the tax division of the treasury. The "barge is made that it 1* Just as difficult for big firms and corporations to get adjustments of urgent Income tax and profit tax claims as ever it was under “WUsorisui.” Instead of reducing the mountain of unsettled business on hand Maroh 4, 1921, the Treasury is letting the pile Increase. Inability to “get action” is ns bad as it ever was. if not worse. The tax division is still auditing ltd 7 tax matters with new ones accumulatng from day to day. Business men '.ell Republican leaders they are tiring of paying fat fees to attorneys and accountants and on having these representatives report no relief is in sight because machinery for Qua! *ettlement Is lacking at the Treasury De partment. Another prolific source of discontent is that business people are re quired to send expensive agents on ex pensive trips to Washington to discuss taxation affairs because the Treasury has no regional offices for their tran. action. The situation, in all it* naked menace, fairly and squarely has been laid before President Harding. Because Republican leaders have spoken to the titular chieftain of the party with complete frankness. they are leaving Washington in the hope he may put his shoulder to the wheel to some purpose. But as they survey the determined and truculent demeanor of the farm bloc Insurgent.* and their Democratic allies, their confidence is not quite 100 per cent that eTen Mr Harding can check a procedure tliat s--ems to foreshadow a drubbing ut the hands of a dislllu ioned electorate.

EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS IN CITY IMPROVED Free Service Bureau Reports Placing Many Men. PUBLIC MAY HELP ! The employment situation In Indianapolli has improved considerably, acJ cording to n report made today to the employment department of the Industrial board by R C. Jenkins, manager of the free employment service office at 33 South Capitol avenue. “During the week of Oct. 14 to 20, inclusive, tiie Indiana free employment *ervice has been instrumental In placing 377 men or 125 per cent over the number of men applicants who registered for employment,” was the report. This Is a decided improvement and a* the Increase has alloted Itself to all classes of labor, it may be taken that business is on a general increase. “A general business Increase can be ; noted from tbe comparion of the number of placeniente during the laet two weeks over a previous period of tbe snme amount of time. During tbe past two woekt the service has registered 400 applicants and placed Milt, or 47 per cent i more than the number registered. Ths previous two weeks show that 400 men were registered and that 347 were placed, or 85 per cent of the number registered were placed. This comparison shows an actual increase during the past two weeks in placements of (52 per cent over the previously mentioned period. “The decided Increase, as has been shown, can be attributed to every class o flabor with the exception of professional. i “At the present time the service Is receiving the cooperation of approximately 50 per cent of the manufacturers of the city of Indianapolis. The cooperation of the manufacturers with tb* service tends to tiring the results of absolutely the best possible employment service that can possibly be rendered and also a centralization unit which will endeavor to avert a serious unemployment situation In the city during the coming winter. There have been personal calls made by R. U. Jenkins, mnnnger of the service, to 09. per cent of the manufactu-ers of toe city, endeavoring to secure the cooperation of the different employers of the city, “The general public of the city can be of great assistance to the employment service by calling when there is an odd Job to he done. Odd jobs are one sour -e of supply and relief for the present unemployment situation. I “The woman’s division of the service, under the supervision at. the present time of Misff Cronin, is progressing nicely, although again the general public could be ! of great assistance in referring odd jobs to this department. Capable women apply daily for positions such as matrons, sijperlntendents. day workers, stenographers and comptometer operators. Also, the dej partment has a nnmber of college girls ; who would like to obtain work of an aft- ! ernoon. "The fundamental idea of the Indiana free employment service, is to make the [ office a cooperative unit to which manufacturers as well as individuals can apply for their help, with the satisfaction of knowing that their wants will receive the best of attention."
