Daniels Appeals to Senators
To Defeat Oil Compromise
Washington, Jan. 6. Secretary
Dariels appealed today to Chairman
Tillman of the senate naval commit
tee to defeat the compromise legis
lation 'to give claimants leases on the
navy petroleum fuel reserve in Cal
ifornia and Wyoming. He also sent
a statement of the navy's objections
to Senator, Fitttnann, chairman of a
subcommittee which framed the com
promise. The Department of Justice
holds many of the claims are fraudu
lent and the navy maintains the
safety bf the nation will be imperiled
by the loss of fuel.
"Every capital ship and every ie
stroycr is now designed to burn oil,
and oil only," Secretary Daniels
wrote Senator Tillman, "and the
features of the design are such that
it is impossible to return to the use of
coal. Under the circumstances the
problem of securing a supply of oil
for our fleet is one of the greatest na
tional importance. The speed of our
destroyers and battle cruisers would
be impossible of attainment with ansc
thing but oil, and if this supply were
seriously threatened, as it is in the
pending bill, we should be brought
face to face with the consideration of
the abandonment altogether of oil as
fuel.
"The enormous power required to
attain the speed contemplated in our
battle cruisers calls for an expendi
ture of oil immensely greater than
anything that had been dreamed of,
and it is, therefore, of the highest im
nortance to the nation that the oil ill
these lands be reserved for the use of
the navy. We do not want the value
of the oil. but we want to preserve
the oil so that we may be assured of
a suoolv for our own ships, and it we
are to be placed in such a position ot
inferiority, as we would be if forced
to abandon tne use oi on, ine conai
tion would be one of national hnir.il-
lation.
To Senator Pittmann Secretary
Daniels wrote:
"I am advised that many of the
claimants have not rights enforciblc
in anv court of law or equity,' and
they maintained possessions in most
cases by force or intimidation. These
men are now asking congress to give
them, at the cost of naval efficiency
(which means at the cost of the na
tional security), that to which they
have no legal or equitable claim, and
it is my understanding that this pro
posed remedial legislation is calcu
lated to accomplish that result."

Twenty-Eight Eoads.
DECLINE TO INTERFERE
Life of George Brandeis Insured by
His Firm for Six Hundred Thousand
Chicago, Jan. 6. Judges Evans,
Carpenter and I.andis of the United
States district court today denied the
petition of twenty-eight railroads op
erating in Illinois to restrain the state
public utilities commission from en
forcing the Illinois 2-cent fare law.

FIRM MADE BENEFICIARY
GEORGE BRANDEIS
Life insurance m the sum of $(00,
000 has just been taken out by the
J. L. Brandeis interests on the life of
George firandeis, head of the business
interests of these concerns.

heaviest life insurance carried in
Omaha.
The Hrandeis insurance was divided
among five companies. They arc the
1 Travelers, the I'enn Mutual, the
Union Central, the New England
Mutual and the Northwestern Mu
tual. The insurance on the life of George
Hrandeis is what is known as cor
poration insurance that is, the Bran
deis corporation insures itself against
the loss of the head of the concern.
The company pays the premiums and
the company is the beneficiary named
in the policies.

PERUNA in Your Home
A housewife must give the first aid in colds, coughs and

saves a serious illness. Her experience with remedies has led
her to know that PERUNA is always reliable, that she should

The great weight of testimony that has accumu
