OIL DIVIDENDS MAY EXCEED jWOOO.OOO Indiana Company Alone Offers $29,000,000 to Its Stockholders.

Stockholders of the various Standard Oil companies have no reason to complain of the returns which they have received on their Investment since the disintegration of the parent corporation. With about a third of the form er subsidiaries so far ahead on dividend declarations, the cash distribu tion to stockholders during the first quarter of the year has been $10,316,826, or more than two-thirds of what the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey was In the habit of declaring for this period of the year under the old regime. In addition to cash payments, there has been declared a 2,900 per cent stock dividend by the Standard Oil of Indiana, or $29,0000,000; a 33 1-3 per cent stock dividend by the Standard Oil Compandor Nebraska, or $200,000, and rights to subscribe at par for $12,500,000 new stock of the Vacuum Oil Company. There is .reason to believe that further "melon cutting" by different subsidiaries will occur. There is no doubt " that aggregate disbursements for the year will at least equal, and very likely exceed, the $40,000,000 a year formerly paid by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. Since the segregation the price of crude oil has advanced to the extent of 20 to 25 cents a barrel, while the rise In quotations for refined oil has been in the neighborhood of $2 a barrel. The margin of profit on the manufacture has obviously been widened, and the profits, In the aggregate, have increased. Also some of the pipe lines have advanced their carrying charges since the disintegration. MUNSEY TELLS HOW HE GO! STEEL VALUE Washington, March 30. Appearing yesterday as a witness before the Stanley steel trust investigating com mlttee, Frank A. Munsey, magazine publisher, explained why he placed a valuation of 782,000,000 on the proper ty rf the United States Steel Corpora tion in an articles published in his magazine In June, 1908. He did so, he said, after consulting officials of the corporation and having had access to their books. "I based my estimate also," said Mr. Munsey, "upon talks with many other men Interested in the steel business and with Charles M. Schwab, John W. Gates and others who were not then in the steel corporation." . In his article Mr. Munsey said that ore holdings of the steel corporation were worth 60 cents a ton. Although, pressed by the committee Mr. Munsey at first declined to disclose the Identity of a director of the steel corporation quoted In his article as ! saying that he would not sell the ore ! properties acquired under the Hill lease for $50,000,000. Later he reluctantly gave the name of George F. Baker, still a director of the corporation. BURGLARS ARE BUSYJ WHITING Make a Haul at Opperman Home and Local Talent Is Suspected(Special to Thb Times.). Whiting, Ind., March SO. Burglars entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gust Opperman at 307 Laporte avenue on Thursday evening, and mare quite, a haul. Mr. and Mrs. Opperman had gone up town to do some shopping and attend the show, returning home about 9 o'clock. When they reached the house they were surprise to find the rear door unlocked. Upon looking around they found the curtains down and then knew that all was not well. A hasty inventory of their Jewelry, showed' gold and open faced, was gone, as was . also his gold ring. Of Mrs. Opperman's belongings they took her gold , ring and gold breast pin. The burglars evidently worked with great leisure, having pulled down the curtains and as a means of entrance had'" pried up a rear window and as a means of exit had gone out the back door. Mr. Opperman reported the robbery to the police as soon it was discovered, but no clew has yet been found. - It is the general opinion that the robbery was the work of some one who knew the Oppermans and that they were away owing to Its being undertaken so easily In the evening. VOICE OF pIeople REPLY "O VOX POri'LI. Whiting, Ind., March 30. Editor Times: I again crave your Indulgence to the extent or a small Space In your valuable paper. Vox Popull In answering my late communication relative to a play ground for Whiting. - overlooks the animus of eald article. Which was Inspired by a desire.to savo the city from making: what appeared to me to be an unnecessary expenuiture of money. I

thought at the time and am still of the

opinion, that he overlooks the Importance of an economically administered city government. His animadversions against conservatism show that lack of balance which is the cause of tat many ill-advised and often disastrous undertakings. Conservatism In the administration of public affairs, like the governor of an engine, keeps down the high pressure of those volatile spirits who would eon inflate, the body politic to the bursting point. Thank God that there always has been and will continue to be a conservative element whose mission is to combat intemperate and hair-brained schemes. Far be it from the writer to oppose any innovation that would be a real or lasting benefit to the community, but, as stated in my former communication, it is desirable that Whiting retain her present low tax levy, not only in the interest of her citizens, but as an Inducement for manufacturers to locate within her borders. Vox Popull uses as an argument that real estate values are advancing. Let us hope this may be true, but, if a public play ground is necessary, which I am not prepared to admit, the city can better afford to pay the advanced price when Its treasury has been strengthened by an Influx of factories, which, according to present indications, will be in the near future. Feeling that my sentiments In the matter are shared by the mayor and his very capable council, I am content to leave It In their hands. Respectfully. A CONSERVATIVE CITIZEN. CALUMET ALSO GOES ON RAMPAGE Continued from page one.) sides In the next twenty-four hours the old flooded condition will obtain on the east side of the dam. thus menacing Broadway, which is paved 100 feet wide for a mile, through the flood area. The police are waiting until the dam shows In sight again before they pro ceed to blow it up. This dam was built a score of years ago by the members of the Tolleeton Gun club, who wished to flood the game preserves, which comprise 1,700 acres of property. Mair Lives Lost Here. In the middle 90's farmers sought to temove th dam because of the damage the flood did to their property. The gun club then stationed armed guards, and in many pitched battles that followed several men were killed and many wounded. This year the dam served to flood the land between ' Broadway bridge and near Black Oak. ENJOYS A PARTY. The Music club had an unusually enjoyable entertainment on Thursday afternoon when its members acted as hostesses to the Minerva Circle, a musical club from Chicago Lawn. The organisation embraces the following members: Mrs. W. D. Shoup, Mrs. Laura Shoup Rhodes, Miss Etta Shoup, Mrs. Bessie Williamson, Mrs. Smith, Miss Hazel Wood. Mrs. Weston, Mrs. Bower. All were friends of the AlexFirst

of Hammond. Indiana is Proud of its Management. Its Policy is Liberal Its Officers are Experienced Its Directors are Conservative Its Resources are Large Its Deposits are Increasing It is a Safe Bank. Its Capital, Surplus and Profits of $320,000 protect your Deposit first.
