11. $. PREPARES TO OPEN NEW HEUUMPLANT Station Near Amarillo, Tex., to Be Only One in World. By United Prent AMARILLO. Tex., Jan. 25.—Operations at the United States government helium plant at Soncy will begin aDout Feo. 1, according to P. A. Vestal, in charge of the work here. This station, located about seven miles west of Amarillo, will be the only one in the world after Jan. 10, when the Ft. Worth plant will be shut down. The present unit consists of nine buildings, storage tanks, and equipment necessary to remove helium from natural gas. It will be capable of producing from 35,000 to 40,000 cubic feet of helium a day. The tremendous amount of natural gas required will be appreciated when it is realized that only VA to 1% per cent of it is helium. The raw gas comes from four wells about twelve miles northwest of the station. The method of removal easily is understood even by the layman. The natural gas liquifies at a temperature of about 300 degrees below zero, fahrenheit, while the helium remains a gas untfi a much lower temperature is reached. The helium escaoes as a gas and the liquid natural gas is returned to its normal temperaure before it is led into the ten-inch pipe that takes it into the mains of the Amarillo Gas Company. The helium is stored or shipped under pressure. It is sent to concentration points of the army or navy in specially designed tank cars of which there are only three available. Each car consists of three tanks, one pyramided on top of the other two, secured together and to the chassis of the car. The drums are about forty feet long, with an inside diameter of four feet. They are cast in one piece two inches thick and are tested to 3,300 pounds pressure per square inch. For shipping the gas in smaller quantities, steel bottles such as are used for oxygen or acetylene are employed. They carry about 180 cubic feet. STATE OIL OUTPUT UP More Than Million Barrels Is Production in 1928. Indiana produced more than a million barrels of oil in 1928 for the first time since 1923. according to statistics issued today by Theodore Kingsbury of the state geologist's office of the conservation department. While the exact amount has not been tabulated, says Kingsbury, the final figures for the eleven months from January to November inclusive show production to have been 958,000 barrels. This is 6.000 barrels in excess of the total production for 1927 Conservation department officials say that December’s production easily ran 92,000 barrels, which will bring the total production to 1.050.000 barrels. CALL FOR TREES HEAVY Demand on Forest Reserve Past State’s Supply. Public response to the policy of the state conservation department growing trees for reforestation is creating such a demand on the Clark county forest reserve that it must be enlarged, announces Richard Lieber. state conservation director. Although five acres are now in intensive cultivation and contain more than 2.000,000 small trees, it will be necessary to develop three acres more at once. Plans are being advanced to plant 1.000 beds with forest stock to provide 3.000.000 trees for planting in 1932, Lieber said. DEATHS LAID TO GAS Anderson Husband Succumbs After Wife Expires at Home, Ry U nited Press ANDERSON, Ind., Jan. 25. Ward Hughes, 29, died in a hospital here after being unconscious seventy-two hours since being discovered semi-conscious in his home. His wife, Elsie, 34, was found dead at the same time. Earl Sells, coroner, conducted an investigation of the home and said he believed gas from a coal stove was responsible for the couple’s death. An autopsy performed on the woman's body failed to reveal any traces of poison or violence, he said. POST NEW LOBBY I STS Force Reading of List by Chorus of Protests in Senate. Names of registered lobbyists were posted on the wall of the state senate chamber today in compliance with a senate resolution.

Hessong, 21. alias “The Hawk,” faced a reformatory term of one to five years today after being found guilty of blackmail and conspiracy by a jury in Hamilton Circuit court here. With Jack Montgomery, Hessong was indicted for sending threatening letters to three prominent Indiana men demanding money Montgomery went on trial today. The state based its case on a confession which Hessong made at the time of His arrest at Akron, O. He admitted sending letters to the men, signed “The Hawk,” which threatened them with death by bombing if they did not leave money in the mail boxes of their country homes. The defense pleaded insanity, and contended Hessong was shot in the back by officers who fired on an automobile occupied by him and a party of friends, believing them to be liquor runners. Medical experts who testified in the trial refused to admit that the injury might have caused Hessong to become mentally unbalanced. Hessong confessed that he wrote the letters to obtain money with which to complete his aviation studies and purchase an airplane. Those who received threatening letters were Hal A. Purdy, vicepresident of the Marmon Automobile Company. Indianapolis: Lewis Koss. president of the Capitol Iron Works. Indianapolis, and Bailey Tawkins. cashier of the Citizens State Bank at Carmel. CABINET APPOINTMENT IS ASKED FOR PINCHOT Liberals Ask Hoover to Name Him Secretary of Interior. Bn Times Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—Liberals who supported the candidacy of Herbert Hoover have asked him to appoint Gifford Pinchot as secretary of interior.

They pointed out that the interior department is particularly in need of an entire change of regime. Frequent charges have been made against the last two secretaries, and the present one was confirmed only after stiff opposition. Pinchot. they contend, would restore public confidence in the administration of the naval oil reserves. the vast water power resources of the country and Indian affairs.
