Efforts to Save
Naval Oil Supply
Checked BvFall
Secretary of Interior Requests
Drilling of Wells Along Bor
der of California Reserve
Be Postponed.
Wahington, May 27. Efforts of
the Navy department to prevent de
pletion of a navy oij reserve by oil
companies operating along its boun
dary have been halted by Secretary
of the Interior Fall, pending disposi
tion of a private oil claim within
the reserve.
About a year ago ; the Standard
Oil company began drilling wells
on its property adjoining naval oil
reserves in southern California.
Some of the wells are within 250 feet
of the boundary line of the reserve.
The Standard has been obtaining
a continuously increasing volume of
oil from these welts, the present out
put being 46,000 barrels a day. and
the Ntvy department believes that a
large part of this oil comes from the
adjacent naval reserve.
With an assured oil supply vital
to the navy, Secretary Dcnby deter
mined to prevent further depiction
of the reserve. On April 16 he adver
tised for bids for drilling of offset
wells just within the reserve, oppo
site the line of Standard wells be
yond the boundary. By this means it
was planned to draw off the oil
in this portion of the reserve, which
it is believed is now going to the
Standard.
Bids were received' by the depart
ment, but never have been opened,
Secretary Fall having1 requested a
postponement of action pending his
disposition of the claim of the United
Midway Oil company to rights in
the portion of the naval reserve af

Girl-Wife Convicted
In Juvenile Court of
Slaying Step-Child
Farmington, Mo., Jtfay 27. Mrs.
John Parsons, 13, was held responsi
ble for the death of, her 6-yqar-old
stepdaughter, Lilly, by a jury in
juvenile court last night. The jury
was impanelled to determine only,
whether the child-wife was responsi
ble. The verdict held that she ws
not delinquent and it did not touch
upon the sanity question.
The girl was turned over to a pro
bation officer by the. judge.. Her
sentence will be announced in a few
days. Maximum punishment which
can be ordered by tfye, juvenile court
is a term in reform school.
The shooting occurred two months
and a half ago, five days after the
girl had married her 35-year-old
husband. During the trial the girl,
weeping bitterly, said she would not
live again with her husband, but
would go to the home of her grand
mother. Mrs. Parsons, during the trial, has
maintained that she shooting was ac
cidental. V , . .
Juanita Miller's Lily Love .
Turns Out to Be Caveman
4-. VS ff
By HAZEL PEDLAR FAULKNER
(VnlTer-.nl Service Staff Correspondent.)
San Francisco, May 27. Juanita
Miller's lily love has turned out to
be a caveman.
In place of the spiritual soul mate
of her dreams, the daughter of the
poet of the Sierras finds her bride
groom of the tulip bed a man with a
"buried past."
His failure to disclose that past
whether it be good or ill is one of
the grievances which has combined
with others to make the heroine of
the April moon marriage turn in
quiringly toward the legal path to
ward freedom.
For from "The Hights" today
came word of the marital difficulties
of the couple whose wedding a
month ago was heralded with the
music of timbrals and celebrated
with the feast of roasted kid and
home brew.
Used Rough Tactics.
And as evidence of the charges of
caveman which Juanita makes
against her husband, she showed a
bandaged arm and bared a bruised
breast, mute but colorful testimony
of the "physical cruelty," which she
says will be one ground for the con
templated divorce.
But the physical bruise is only
part of the hurt which Juanita says
Willed
is hcr's, as the result of the disil
lusionment wrought by her tiger
lily husband. '
For Juan of the golden locks and
the buried past has failed tp make
good on the domestic part of the
bargain. False to his prc-nuptial
promises he1 had not done his share
of brushing up the floor or of mak
ing the bread.
"I still love him,, although he has
turned out to be a caveman instead
of my lily love," said Juanita today.
"I am contemplating divorce on the
grounds of cruelty and non-support,
but I am not going to take definite
action until a little later, after a
stated number of days."
And then the bride of a month dis
closed one other rift in the nuptial
lute. "Before wc were married Juan
said he had no bills and was not :n
debt, and now it turns out that he
has unpaid bills," according ' to
Juanita, and his wish to repay the
debts led to their first financial dis
pute. The breech between the two be
came an open one over a mere the
atrical contract, wherein Juanita was
to receive the family pay at the rate
of four to one. Juan objected, de
manding at least an even break in
the family bank account, because of
those back debts.
Mrs. Stillman
Dictating Terms
In Divorce Case
Friends Making Every Effort
To Have Husband to Agree
To Settlement Without
Fight.
New York, May 27. Mrs. "Fifi"
Stillman is dictating terms to James
A. Stillman, and they are "pretty
rough," according to a friend of the
banker, in discussing reports that
divorce negotiations were practically
ended.
"Jim Stillman. in his mental pro
cesses, is a lot like his father," said
the friend. "Pie is stubborn as a
mule. His friends are working with
him night and day to persuade him
to agree to the terms dictated by
his wife and smother the scandal.
Characteristically, he balks at sign
ing an agreement in the preparation
of which he has had no part and
every line of which is obnoxious.
"However, the case will never
come to trial. Mr. Stillman cannot
fight. All the breaks have been and
will be against him. If he cannot
be won over in the five days remain
ing before the resumption of pro
ceedings in Poughkeepsie next week,
his lawyers will ask for a postpone
ment, which will temporarily take
the case out of public notice."
It is reported that the only issue
now standing between the Slillmans
is the refusal of Mrs. Stillman, to
agree to go abroad and live there.
Mr. Stilhnan's friends were spurred
to new efforts in persuading him to
agree to anything when they heard
that Mrs. Stillman had been offered
a large Sum to report future legal
proceedings for a combination of
sensational newspapers.
Representatives of the wife are
preparing, when the hearings are re
sumed June 1, for rigid cross-examinations
of Dr. Hugh Russell, the
Buffalo osteopath, who testified that
Mrs. Stillman had told him Fred K
Beauvais was the father of Guy.

On Sprague 50 Stronger Tires
The Reason:
THESE very special prices are made on a lot of tires all sizes in
both Cords and Fabrics which have been used for samples and
for display at shows. Also, some are slightly factory soiled. All
are as good as new and as good as tires can be made. The only way
to realize what this offer means is to see them at the factory salesroom
at 1 8th and Cuming Streets.
Which Is the Stronger?
Sprague 6-Ply 3V2 in. Tires Others 4-Ply 3V2 in. Tires
This indicates one of the reasons of Sp.rague Tire superiority. Sprague Tires are
heavier. .There are many other reasons. Sprague Tires .are virtually the only Tires
made with Sea Island Cotton Fabric. That is one of the Sprague Tire blowout
preventives.
Made in Omaha
Sprague Tires are made in Omaha, but sold and used throughout the world. If
a defect should be discovered, you can drive right up to the factory door and secure
a most satisfactory adjustment. The logical Tire for,, Omaha folks to use.
