TAKES PART IN THE FIGHT Washington Protests Against Royal Dutch Compact (BULLETIN) INTERNATIONAL "NCAS ScrtVI'IEl WASHIXCTOX, May 5. The . . , . .. - a not a oartlclpant In any deal negotiated be-! tween British oil Interests - orlet Russian fowrrmfit for the exploitation ot the vast Russian oil fields, A. C. Bedford, chairman of the board of the company, declared here today. R.irrd riM-lared the Standard Oil Company i not seeking to Te-enter j Russia at this time ana max " not represented at Genoa and had refrained from entering Into any agreement with British oil intercuts for control of the Russian petroleum output. By DAVID M. CHURCH STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE LONDON, May 5. Behind the maneuvers of the gigantic oil interests, -which are agitating the British foreign office today, a great battle is being waged by British and American concerns for world supremacy In the petroleum Industry. Officials of the foreign office stated that they had not yet received any protest from America regarding the reported compact between the Royal Dutch and Shell companies with the Moscow government for Russian oil concessions, but they had heard that such a. protest was being forwarded from Washington. It was declared the foreign office has no knowledge of the reported oil agreement, which was alleged to have been signed by the Russians and representatives of the British ell Interests at Genoa. "The government, it was pointed out, would be the first to protest against such compact. , because Premier Lloyd George at the meeting of the supreme council at. Cannes agreed that no monopolies should be established. Despite denials, the report that the Royal Dutch and Shell group had gained a monopoly In Russian petroleum continued in effect. It Is known that the Standard Oil Company has beon- after Russian concessions, the negotiations having been In progress for some months. It Is reported In unofficial quarters that British government attaches believe that the Paris report of the British oil cpmpaci have stirred the Standard Oil Company to action and that the Standard may have made representations to the American State department on the subject. Already, America has sent notes to Great Britain protesting against the exclusion of American oil companies from man-dated territory, especially Mesopotamia, where the British secured rich oil concessions. The whole world Is the battle field for the contending giants that are seeking fresh oil territory to take the places of fields that are becoming exhausted. It Includes Russia, Persia, Turkey, Rumania .China and some of the smaller eastern states, as well as Mexico. WATSON SAYS WOMEN DID IT Denies That He Was For Beveridge During Campaign. WASHINGTON. May S. "It was the women who did It." This summoning up of the result of the Indiana senatorial primary was given by Senator James E. Watson, Senator New's colleague. At that time returns showed New considerably behind Albert J. Beveridge for the Republican nomination, "Then you think It Is all over?" Watson was asked. "Not entirely," he responded. "But the women vote which nobody could count was responsible for upsetting the situation." Watson entered an emphatic denial of statements by some of Senator New's friends In Indiana that Watson was secretly for Beveridge in the campaign. "You can deny that for me most emphatically," said Watson. "All through the campaign I was for Senator New. I believed he would be renominated. The charge that 1 opposed him recretly or otherwise is unqualifiedly false."

ET SITE DEAL Another Industry Buys Site Today For Location of Plant in Hammond Gostyn, Meyn & Hastings, Inc.. Hammond realtors with a national reputation, closed a . real, estate transaction yesterday by which the Calumet Tank & Manufacturing Company, less than six months old, became the owner of two and onehalf acres of land on Torrence ave., adjoining the B. & O. C. T. railroad, on which will be erected at once a substantial building. 60x150 feet, the first .' unit of what promises to be another successful Hammond establishment. The site was purchased from George Schaaf. The Calumet Tank & Manufacturing Company, . Incorporated six months ago,, manufactures steel tanks and steel plate materials. The organization was built around E. R. Kyler of Hammond, who is president and treasurer. At the time of its inception, quartirs of the company were rented from the Overland Crane Company, owners of the old G. H. Hammond Company office building. Construction of the new plant will begin imme liately. Contracts have already been let. Although employing but thirty skilled mechanics at present, it Is hoped to increase this pay roll by twenty additional men with the completio.i of the new factory. The company recently completed the contract, for a set of new refining tanks fot the Calumet Refining Company at Purnham, and are now figuring on some very large Jobs. Mr. Kyler was formerly general superintendent of the Graver Corporation works in East. Chicago, and more recently associated with the Hammler Boiler Works, In Chicago, as vice president. As a postscript to this Interesting announcement, it may not be amiss to reveal an office secret of Gostlln, Meyn & Hastings. Inc. It Is pardonable, to disclose good things. Young Mr. Hastings, who knows as much about the real estate and transportation problems of the extensive Chicago and Calumet Industrial districts as any man in the business, tells his salesmen that their company has a motto, the observance of which Is not optional but compulsory. It's this: "Say It with factories." That means a factroy a day. And they are meeting their own great expectations. BEGINS DIVORCE SUIT Dr. Harry A. Shimp of Whiting, following a custom supposed to prevail among physicians, refused to discuss the Intimate details of his practice with his wife.

Dr. Shimp says nis wife has an ungovernablo temper. Every now and then she would lose control of it and would make wrongful accusations against him. She would call him vile and indecent names. She' is said to have exercised an unusual curiosity concerning mi practice and would want to know all about some of his cases. He would refuse and that would provoke new storms of wrath. This continued until the doctor's peace of rriind was greatly disturbed. It decreased his efficiency and hampered his practice. They separated April 19 after living together since February 25, 1919. The Shimp home is at 437 Indixna blvd.
