Will Standard Oil Company Be Able to Monopolize Government Contracts for Supplying Alcohol? TIMES BUKlArj, AT STATE CAPITAL. INDIANAPOLIS. IND.. Nov. 2S. One of the most Important conferences hi-ld in Indiana in many a day is in progress here today. It is a conference of representatives of the state councils of defense of Indiana. Ohio, Kentucky. Illinois, Missouri and Iowa, the six grreat corn producing states, to lay plans for saving what can be saved of the l0,000.0nn bushels of frosted corn. An effort is bein made to have the government buy alcohol that rrtfly be made out of 1his corn. The go'e"rnment will require 6B.0"0.nn0 gallons of alcohol within the next eight months in the manufacture of explosives for use in the war. A large part of these explosives will he used by the United States army, another large part by the French army and still more by the Italian army, and the United States is the only country that can supply it. When it was discovered some time ago that a very large part of the corn crop was ruined by freezing, corn growers, farmers, grain men and others began looking around for some way to salvage the crop and prevent? a total loss. " Unless the corn could be used for some purpose many farmers stood a good chance of suffering heavy financial loss. A committee representing the corn growers and distillers went to Washington and tried to induce the government to permit the distillers to make the frosted corn Into alcohol for the government. It was shown that the frosted corn would make about 60 per mpt as murh alcohol as good corn, and that after the alcohol was extracted from the frosted corn the residue rould be m.Tde into a high grade sto k feed, thus saving good corn for other feed ard food purposes. It vat estimated that this process would mean that farmers could get probably 50 cents a bushel for the frosted coin, which was worthless for any othe.r rurpose. Government officials told the. Indiana distillers to return home and prepare an estimate of the amount of alcohol they could produce. The distilleries

The work of women oil the battlefield or in the hospitals, nnrsing, cheering and comforting the wounded or dying, is l

part of what women do to pro

There has developed some doubt as to whether the contracts can be landed, however, for it aeems that someone has thrown a rock in the machinery. The United States Industrial Alcohol company, a Standard Oil concern, has a sort of monopoly on the government contracts for supplying alcohol, and It Is a. question whether the distillers of Indiana and the other states can get any of them. But the conference will lay plans for a campaign for contracts and will try to put it through.

ROSS III AGAIN AS PROSECUTOR Testerday morning Attorney Ralph Ross of jary was out of his job as special prosecutor in the Gary grand jurjcases. In the afternoon he was back again, assisting Deputy Prosecutor Will'am Thoma. Mr. Ross in the morning said that Judge Greenwald did not employ him in the prosecution. The Judge said he would not cause the taxpayers'to pay any high fees to Mr. Ross when the states attorneys, Prosecutor Hunter and Deputy Thomas, could handle the job. Anyhow, things were sttaigbtened out. OIL MEN TO OPEN BRANCH HERE Carl C. Glass and P. A. Baseler. epeeial representatives of J. E. Whitehead, president of the Osage Oil and Refining company of Oklahoma City, and who are looking the ground over with s possibility of establishing branch offices of their company in Lake county, are registered at the Majestic hotel, Hammond. Mr. Glass and Baseler declare that their company already owns leases on nearly 49.000 acres Of the finest oil land in Oklahoma. Texas and other oil producing territories. At the recent auction sale of 20,621 acres of undeveloped and party developed oil lands located in 0?sge county, Okla., conducted by the Department of the Interior. Office of Indian Affairs, of the United States government, the Osage Oil aqd Refining company secured an additional 2,4'') acres of land that is regarded as exceptionally high-grade oil land, since it lies Just north of the Glenn and Cushinft oil felds. The fabulous wealth brought to tftt Osage tribe of Indians hy the discovery of oil In their practically desert land reads like a fairy tale. Yet It is a fact that the royalties and annuities received from oil and gae development for the past two years have yielded individual members of the Osage tribe from 1140. to 4!9 each per quarter. It Is a well-known fact that the hills about the trihual lands are dotted with oil wells producing in many instances 5.000 barrels of oil daily. The company they represent i headed hy J. E. Whitehead, known as 'Oklahoma's Iron Man." who is the largest Individual land owner in the state of Oklahoma: John M. Hale treasurer of the company is active vice president of the Wilkin-Hale State Bank of Oklahoma City, and known throughout the state for his keen knowledge of business adminis tration. Wilson D'llen, an oil producer of note, is secretary of the Osage company, and Earl Oormley, a producer of oil for many yr. Is superintend ent of production. The company Is preparing to erect a 2,500-barrcl reMnery on Its holdings near Electra. Texas.
