ENGLISH STANDARD OIL
IS THE LATEST TRUST
Begins Operations With
$20,000,000.
London, Eng., July 20.—The largest
organization that ever attempted to
compete with the Standard Oil Com
pany was formed today in London. It
is a combination of American and
English! capitalists. The Americans
are represented by Samuel Untermeyer
who engineered the combine.
Twenty million dollars has been
subscribed to begin operations, $5,-
000,000 of it being put up in cash by
English members. This was shipped
to America, to he used, it is under
stood, in the purchase or to secure op
tions on eevry available oil produc
ing property in Oklahoma. But this
will he only a part of the properties,
as the members of the syndicate own
immense tracts of developed funds iu
California which are already yielding
a large revenue.
The scheme also includes the build
ing of the largest pipe line in the coun
try from the Oklahoma properties.
Mr. Untermeyer has been at tbe Ri:z
Hotel for several days. He leaves
for Brussels and Carlsbad Saturday.
Mr. Untermeyer refused to give the
details of the organization, but ad
mitted the nature of his business in
London and said taht the necessary
English gold had already gone >.o
Vmeriea. He also said the eniire pro
ject wals independent of Standard Oil
operations.
‘There is room enough for every
body,” T.o said, “and I am sure this
will prove to be a tremendous busi
ness success.”
It is learned that Sir Weetman Pear
on, recently made Lord Cowray, is
not interested in the syndicate. Mr.
Untermeyer won't give the names of
the American members; he said it
would be inadvisable before the pro
tect is further under way.
Tt is learned that all the English
members are connected with London
hanking houses.

FLOUR TAKES A JUMP
OF FIFTY CENTS A BARREL
Jeffersonville, Ind., July 20.—The
high price of wheat and prospects of
a poor yield in many localities are the
reasons assigned by dealers for the
jump of fifty* cents a barrel on flour,
which was announced yesterday. Far
mers say that orchard grass has be
gun to sprout in the shock because of
tfcfc recent heavy rains and that the
loss will be heavy.
The successful man jumps at a
chance while the other fellow is balk
ing at a logical conclusion.

LONE STAR STATE HAS
BIG CENSUS INCREASE
Gain of 200 Per Cent in
Some Counties.
Washington, D. C., July 20.—Cen
sus officials are astonished at the
showing thus far made by the returns
from the state of Texas, which al
ready has gained one member of con
gress on the present basis of repre
sentation, with less than one-seventh!
of the probable population of the state
accounted for. If the astonishing av
erage gain in population thus far re
ported should be kept up all over the
state, Texas would be entitled to an
increase of four or five members of
the house under the new apportion
ment that will be based on the present
census returns.
At present Texas has sixteen mem
bers in the house. The 37 counties
of the state for which census figures
have been given out show an aggre
gate of 501,066 inhabitants, a gain of
202,342, of 56 2-5 per cent, over the
census of 1900. There are 211 couu
jties to jar from, including those
which contain the large cities. Some
of the Texas counties so far reported
show gains in population of more than
200 per cent.
Many persons are puzzled because
the census figures so far made public
have come mainly from rural counties
in Texas and other Southwestern
states. This has been due mainly to
thfe fact that members of congress
from these sections have made urgent
appeals to the director of the census
to give them early returns because of
the approach of local and other elec
tions. The director has sought to
comply with these requests, as far as
practicable.
The census bureau expects shortly
to have out of the way the figures for
counties and cities which have been
requested by congressmen on account
of local and state election laws, and
then the census of the larger cities will
be announced. First will come New
York and then San Francisco, after
which it is expected that there will be
a daily flood of returns until all cities
of more than 50,000 population have
been disposed of, when the returns by
precincts, counties and states will be
given.

TREASURY RETURNS SHOW
CORPORATIONS ARE PAYING
Washington, D. C., July 19.—Treas
ury returns to date show that there
has been paid $26,445,699 of the as
sessments originally made aggregat
ing $27,267,927 on account of the cor
poration tax. Os tkie remaining $822,-
000 about one-half has been abated
by the commissioner of internal rev
enue for various reasons, or are in
((liisputet The ex pectintlibn »s that
that by the end of the month the
$400,000 unpaid will be received. Al
ready some of the collectors have been
obliged to impose penalties for fail
ure to pay thie assessments by July
11, this being due in some cases to ig
norance on the part of the corpora
tions as to the exact time when the
law should be complied with. In some
quarters an impression has existed
the assessments were not payable un
til the Supreme court of tkie United
States had passed upon the constitu
ionality of the statute.

who won’t trust anybody.
