Ok, Aug 18 (by A. The arm of the military, sent here by Gov Walton to suppress mob violence, reached out into Tulsa County today to find an answer to the numerous recent abductions and whippings in this vicinity. Martial law, originally decreed only in the city of Tulsa, was extended last night to include more than half a dozen small towns In the southern portion of the county, and today, with the scope of their power broadened.

State authorities are attempting to unearth a connection between mob activities outside and inside the city. Floggings have not been confined to Tulsa itself, persons residing in surrounding communities having felt in recent months the lash of self-appointed dealers of punishment. With charges already filed against two men in connection with a whipping, and with others being detained by military authorities, it fs indicated that the in- estigators have penetrated the veil of mystery that has marked the mob operations and are getting toward the bottom of several cases. An explanation is expected today of the seizure by National Guardsmen of i0 men at the town of Jenks la; yesterday. The men were brought before Adjt en Markham, but nothing has been revealed as to the reason for their detention.

Although Massachusetts cannot deal in gasoline In an effort to reduce the price, as has the State of South Xa-kota, it has a law which permits municipalities to supply the necessaries of life to citizens at a reasonable cost, declares Chairman Eugene C. Hultman of the Commission on the Necessaries of Life. Mr Hultman's statement Is part of a preliminary report of the commissions Investigation of the gasoline situation and is contained in a letter sent today to Mayor Curley. Mr Hultman further says that if the heads of the various cities and towns determine that gasoline Is a necessity of life and that a public exigency exists, "they have the power to practically and legally meet the situation." The letter discloses many facts concerning tr.e general gasoline situation in the United States and also informs the Mayor that the commission will advise him of the further progress of its investigation.

"Iarge loans have been required to enable oil companies to buNd extri tankage for storage. The economic pressure exerted on the oil industry by the extra production factors has resulted in a downward trend of prices and depreciation of inventories with consequent dt-mand for liquidation.

Mallory Co have decided that a thunderbolt sent their tanker Swiftstar to the bottom of the Caribbean Sea last month. The Swiftstar, noncapslzable and of non-inflammable construction, left Los Angeles for Fall River, Mass, and was last spoken at the Eastern end of the Panama Canal July 13. There were 77,000 barrels of crude oil aboard the tanker and a crew of 28 men. For a month after the ship left the canal nothing was heard from her. She was following a course somewhat east of north, which would bring her to the Windward Passage between Cuba and Jamaica, a Broadway of the Seas.

No steamship nor coasting schooner sighted the tanker after its departure from San Cristobal, however. No whisper of Its wireless had been heard from that day to this. It vanished as did the collier Cyclops in those very waters, with no living being surviving tell the tale. The silent evidence of the dead man was presented to the owners today by Capt Follett of the schooner Albert H. Willis, which was beating up toward the island of San Andreas, about 200 mjles north of San Cristobal July 22, to take on a cargo of copra, and, was close to the island when wreckage was sighted.

The leading oil companies would not make a price satisfactory to the Governor, who then informed the oil company that the State could seil gasoline for 16 cents a gallon in South Dakota and would do so until such time as the price of gasoline was satisfactory to him. It is therefore apparent that the laws of South Dakota authorize tlie State to deal in gasoline. "A State distributing station was opened, whereupon the leading oil company promptly reduced its price throughout the State to the same level of 16 cents a gallon.

"Within a day or two Gov McMaster increased the State price to 20 cents. This increase was immediately followed by the oil companies. "There is a wide discrepancy throughout the country in retail prices of gasoline. In Oklahoma prices in the last few weeks have fluctuated between five and 1" cents a gallon at retail. In Dallas, Tex.

the retail price varies from ll to It cents a gallon. The retail, price in Ohio is 20 cents a gallon.

On the stern of each boat was lettered the name "Swiftstar." In addition there was a covering of oil extending for miles about San Andreas. Heaving on the burnished swells, Capt Follett's lookout discovered a packing case. It was a box about eight feet long, four feet wide and five feet In depth. A boat was lowered and the box was brought alongside and hoisted aboard. It contained the body of a man, apparently a seaman, who had died from burns.

The body was unidentifiable and was buried at San Andreas after FARMER OF IOWA PARK, TEX. BEATEN BY UNMASKED MEN WICHITA FALLS, Tex, Aug 18 Lon-nie Davis, a young farmer, is in a serious condition in the General Hospital here as the result of having been beaten with a wet rope by five unmasked men late Wednesday night. His skin was torn in a number of places and his body blackened by welts and lacerations. His father and his brother have appealed to Acting Gov Davidson for a State investigation. According to Davis' story, he had just returned from an automobile ride with Hamp Love, city marshal of Iowa Park, and was waiting outside a garage for the officer to put up his motor car when the five unmasked men drove up, placed a sack over his head and drove rapidly out of town.

Davis said a few miles out on a lonelv road the men ordered him out of the automobile, forced him to remove his clothing, laid him on the ground, and pelted him with the wet rope. He did not recognize any of his assailants. Davis was brought back to the village and turned loose. Armed with shotguns, farmer friends of the Davis family came to Iowa Park last night and made many open comments as to what would happen if the kidnapers were found. Sheriff Murphy and his deputies went to Iowa Park last night and started an investigation.

It was because the investigation was considered unsatisfactory by the Davis family and their friends that telegrams were dispatched by the brother and father of the flogging victim to the State executive offices last night.

NEWTON POLICE sea made the rescue impossible, and I the Ming Sang went down. Except for TSEKOS NERVOUS WHEN IN COURT Case Dropped in Back to Jail In Reply to the Mayor The letter of Commissioner Hultman to Mayor Curley Is as follows: "Your letter of Aug 15 to Commis-sioner of Public Works William F. Williams in regard to the price of gasoline, has been referred to this office for attention.

The Commission, therefore, begs to submit to you the following prliminary report in regard to gasoline conditions: "The relentless rules of simple arithmetic show that the tremendous production of oil has raised ructions in the scientifically organized and highly controlled oil industry. The output of crude oil was tremendously increased by the discovery and development of the California oil fields. Furthermore, new processes have increased the amount of gasoline obtainable from crude oil by approximately 60 percent. The sum of these two factors minus the consumption of crude oil and gasoline has left a great and increasing amount in storage. Gasoline Production Increases "According to the United States Geological Survey the current daily consumption of crude oil in the Unitod States Is about 1,675,000 barrels, while the dally average production of wells in the domestic fields, as estimated by the American Petroleum Institute on July 28, is about 2,255,950 barrels.

The receipts of Mexican oil at Atlantic and Gulf ports were averaging at this time 289,711 barrels per day. This indicates a daily surplus in production and receipts of oil of about 820,661 barrels. "With oil stocks accumulating at such a rate, curtailment of production and maintenance of the price are causing anxiety to oil producers, refiners and distributors. "The gasoline market Is further affected by the fact that the increase in the yield of gasoline from crude oil has been even greater than the Increase in production. Until last year 25 percent was considered a fair average yield of gasoline from crude oil, but now by the use of the improved "cracking" processes the recovery of gasoline has increased the yield to about 40 percent, or an increase in the amount of gasoline made of approximately 60 percent.

For the past 10 years the central part of the United States, called in the petroleum industry 'the mid which includes the Texas fields, has been called upon to supply a very large proportion of the oil used In the world. Both crude oil and refined products have been produced at a rate greatly in excess of the consuming demands of that region. This excess supply has been bought by refiners and distributors on the Atlantic seaboard and other parts of the United States and Europe. In fact, for several years it has been called upon to supply part of the oil needs of the consuming public in California. "The mid-continent region developed a tremendous capacity to supply crude oil and gasoline for the expected and heretofore constantly growing demands upon it- OFFICER HURT Motorcycle in Crash on Commonwealth Ay New York Rules Eastern Rates "The Eastern price is determined by the New York market.

Refined California gasoline can be bought at 7 cents a gallon on the Pacific Coast and laid down in New York for about 10 cents a gallon. Gasoline from the mid-continent field can be bought at about 7 cents a gallon, which means a price of about 12 cents in New York. Mexican gasoline can be bought for about 10 cents a gallon laid down in New York. "The present tank wagon price of, the large distributors for gasoline in Boston, however, is 19 cents a gallori, and the consumer is called upon to pay 22 cents. "This commission is continuing its investigation of gasoline in Massachusetts as requested in your letter and will advise you as it develops.

"There is no law by which the Commonwealth of Massachusetts can do what the State of South Dakota did, that is. deal in gasoline. Chapter 40, Sections 19 and 20, General Latss of Massnchusetts, 1921, however, provides-authority for municipalities to protect their citizens in regard to a supply of the common necessa. ies of life at reasonable prices during periods of public exigency. Therefore, if the heads of our municipalities determine that gasoline is a necessary of life and that a public exigency exists, they have the power to practically and legally meet the the two officers reported saved, all aboard are believed to have perished.

One sailor swam away, holding fast to a small yacht buoy, until another buoy was thrown from the endangered Japanese steamer Ginyo Maru. and the British bluejacket pulled to safety. The Ginyo Maru and another vessel, the Sekino Maru, had drifted from their moorings.

The Sekino Maru was brought up alongside a pier, to which she was able to moor undamaged. The Gino Maru drifted toward the Royal Naval Yard seawall, where 6he grounded astern, slightly damaged. HONGKONG, Aug 18 (by A. Heavy loss of life is believed to have been caused by a typhoon that struck the harbor here at 9:20 o'clock this morning, sweeping the waters into a seething "menace that flung several ships into their depths and tossed others into havens of refuge. Many Europeans were among the victims, it is feared.

The lowest point reached by the barometer was 28.66 at 10:13 a the wind blowing 130 miles an hour said to be a world's record. After that- the barometer rose rapidly. The British submarine L-9 and the steamer Ming Sang, of British registry, sank in the harbor. Only one sailor Is known to have been saved from the submarine and there are but two reported survivors from the Ming Sang, both European officers. With the harbor communications para-layzed.

At that time the giant waves washed the steel piers at Kowloon, just across the channel on the mainland.

The Kowloon wall also was partly submerged. Comparatively little damage was.done owing to the fact that the Government observatory had issued early warnings. In August last year a terrific typhoon struck the Chinese coast between Amoy and Swatow and left a heavy trail of damage in its wake. It was estimated the death toll at Swatow was 60,000, most of the victims being natives. Another typhoon swept the southeast coast in the early part of September, th same year, resulting in the deaths of approximately 3000.

That typhoon was accompanied by a tidal wave 28 feet high. Several more casualties afloat were reported later in the afternoon. The British naval oil tanker Karki, a naval tug and the Chinese-owned steamer Haldis went ashore. The roof of the Victoria Jail was damaged seriously. Several houses were partly unroofed.

The French Mail Liner Andre Lebon was swept, dragging her anchors a considerable distance. When the terrific wind struck the shore big trees were uprooted and, in several places, flung against the boundary walls, which collapsed. In the business district signboards were blown to bits and wall hangings were torn off. Telephone cables were blown down.

Tramway services were suspended. It is not known how Kowloon fared, as all communication in that port was cut off. bridge, was coming up the hill In the direction of Boston.

"The advantageous location of the new California fields, together with their extremely large wells, has resulted in crude oil of good quality being produced and marketed at a figure less than one-half the claimed cost of producing oil in the mid-continent field. "The cost of transporting crude oil and refined products from California by water to the large markets on the Eastern seaboard and Europe is much less than the cost of transportation from the central mid-continent fields.
