TULSA. Sept. 19—A crude oil
price advanc* was believed prob-
able within the next 72 hours.
For the past week, It was
learned, oil men have been con-
sidering the feasibility of in-
creasing prices in view of the
greatly depleted Mid-Gnttrent
stocks caused by military shut-
down In Oklahoma and Texas.
Action of the Texas Rail-
road Commission in reducing the.
allowable production of East
Texas wells from 225 barrels a
well a day to 185 barrels a well -
was cited as a possible excuse
for oil companies to post the
new price. This reduction may
lead to a policy of further cur-
tailment of East Texas, advices
from Austin said.
When the price Increase would
come or how much it would be
was still undetermined as 'com-
pany offices opened today. One
apparently reliable report said
the hike Wquld be either today
or Monday.’ It was believed the
advance would be imtwo stages.
A first Increase would raise the
price from the prevailing 70
cents a barrel top prie2 to 85
cents a barrel with a subsequent
increase. to 81.05 or $1.10 a
barrel. e

there would be no further dis-
orders.
All Chinese police in Mukden
were disarmed by the Japanese
"to guarantee peace.” Approxi-
mately 2000 Japanese troops
maintained order.
Fighting in Suburbs.
The principal fighting took
place in the suburbs of Mukden,
around the Manchurian barracks
and headquarters of the Japanese
railway guards, and the roar of
guns and report of rifles could
be heard in the city thruout Fri-
day night. The capital is sur-
rounded by a well built wall and
another section of Mukden, con-
taining the administration build-
ings. Is also protected by a wall.
There were numerous street
clashes when the Japanese forced
their way Into the walled city
destroyed part of the South Man-
churian Railway. Motive for the
attack on headquarters of Jap-
anese railway guards was not
clear, they said.
The railway guards called for
reinforcements and field guns,
the Japanese said. While a
bombardment was In progress at
Peltaylng camp, fighting started
inside the walls of Mukden which
necessitated a Japanese .attack
on the walled city, Japanese de-
clared.
Reports from Canchung, China,
said that Japanea* had attacked
Manling and had captured 21
Chinese guns and destroyed a
dozen others.
Japanese soldiers Imprisoned
350 Chinese troops during the
morning bombardment of the
walled city. Twenty Chinese po-
licemen were arrested and ques-
tioned.

but he would not discuss the
case.
The chief also will have an
investigation to make into the
pouring out of 160 gallons of
alcohol by policemen following a
raid several weeks ago. Under
state and federal laws, liquor
seized by police must he turned
over to either the state or fed-
eral authorities when cases are
filed.
► Since Chief Lee left on his
vacation two weeks ago, mem-
bers of the police department
and :detective bureau have been
putting forth extra effort in the
hope that last minute efforts
may stave, off their dismissal.
Chief Lee said that additional
men besides the 30 would be
fired, altho not in wholesale lots.
"I have been given full au-
thority as far as the personnel
of the department goes and in
raising Its efficiency, and I am
going to do It or get fired in
the attempt,” the chief has stated.
In addition to the threatened
dismissals, every man working
after Oct. 1 will be patrolling a
different beat, according to the
chief and unless the beats are
cleaned up, the beat man will be
let out.
The chief In his line-uP for a
reorganization has decided to re-
duce the rank of three sergeants,
either the dismissal or the trans-
fer of six detectives and the or-
ganization of the proposed traffic
department under Lieut. R. E.
Dysart.
Dysart has not made any plans
as to who will be chosen for the
traffic department. He is await-
ing the return of the chief to
see as to who shall be retained.
The chief previously said that
he would have a complete report
for Manager Fairtrace on his
proposed changes within two

These are only a few of the
activities in the long career of
Dr. David Starr Jordan, chancel-
lor emeritus of Leland Stanford
University; any one of them
would have been sufficient to
make the life work of a man
of ordinary energy.
Dr. Jordan was born in 1861,
and yet he participated In the
activities of the second quarter
of the 20th century. Ht» per-
sonal memory and active partic-
ipation in educational and public
affairs spanned what are perhapr
the two most momentous and
revolutionary generations in ths
world's history.
In a day when many still con-
sidered it "unpractical” to be
well educated, he took the trou-
ble to prepare himself thoroly
for his later career. It took
three universities to satisfy' his
appetite for knowledge: Cornell,
Indiana Medical College n But-
ler, with post-graduatefstudy in
London and Paris.
The list of his positions and
activities disclose a Frahkllnian
versatility and interest In ths
affairs of his fellow men. The
mainstem, always, was selehirt
and educational: profeasor ot
zoology at Butler University,
1875 to 1879: «t Indiana Uni-
versity, 1179 to 1885; president
of Indiana University, 1883 to
1894; president, and later chan-
cellor, of Leland Stanford Uni-
versity until 1918, when he re-
tired to the post of chancellor
emeritus.

General Criticized
For Japanese Attack
By United Press:
TOKIO, Sept 19.—Japanese
officials, after conferences with
Emperor Hirohito and a meeting
of the cabinet, today instructed
the military commander at
Kwantung, Manchuria, to avoid
aggravating the Manchurian sit-
uation. Headquarters of the
Korean army at Seoul ordered
mobilization of all Japanese
troops in Korea and Manchuria.
The instructions were trans-
mitted officially by the minister
of war, Juro Minami,
Premier Wakatsuki and Baron
Shidehara said they considered
that General Honjo, the garrison
commander, acted over-zealously
and on his own authority in the
Mukden controversy, and that
he had embarraased the govern-
ment's program of peace and
friendship with China. They
said that the military action was
taken without the cabinet's
knowledge and that they believed
military action was unnecessary.

Defense Attorney Charles Mays
filed motion for a new trial this
morning in Criminal District
Court for Charles Fooshee, 21,
given 10 years by a jury for
the fatal stabbing of his wife,
Billy, 22. •
In the event Judge George
Hosey denies' the motion, Mays
will carry the case to the Court
of Criminal Appeals In the hopes
of getting a reversal.
In his motion, Mays based
his grievance on the testimony
of Sheriff J. R. (Red) Wright,
Dr. Webb Walker and the argu-
ments of District Attorney Jerse
E. Martin before the jury.
The motion claims that the
court erred in permitting Wright
to testify about ’ his telephone
conversation with Fooshee be-
fore he was arrested in Dallas.
The court also erred in ad-
mitting the knife which Wright
took from Fooshee after the kill-
ing, it claims.
The motion said tnat the testi-
mony of Dr. Webb Walker that
Mrs. N. A. Fooshee was physical-
ly capable of appearing in-court
without being carried on a
stretcher was inflammatory evi-
dence.
It objected to the arguments

pictured Fooshee as a home-
