CUDAHYS IN OIL BUSINESS
Extensive Land Holdings Near ST
Louis to he Devoted 60
Rennerics.

ST LOUIS. Jan. The Cudahy Pipe
Line company. q New Jersey corporation.
controlling vast oil fields In southeastern
Kansas and the Indian Territory, aud an
avowed antagonist of the Standard oil
company, is planning terminus Of It's
pipe lines and the location OF large re-
ineries at Kimmswiok, twenty miles he
low st. Louis on the Mississippi river and
the Iron Mountain road.
Plans are being considered for tho es-
tablishment at Kimmswick OF both river
and railway tank line service for carrying
both crude and refined oil. Extensive
river wharfage and railroad frontage have
already been purchased for this purpose.
The company also owns ample ground
there for locating rcnncries equal in
capacity to any in the country.
Twenty-Five acres Of land, known rs
Windsor harbor adjoining the town Of
Kimmswick was bought last week from,
John F. Love Of ST. Louis. This property
includes Tho old brick mansion, erected
forty years ago, and known as The Cas-
tle." and several cottages occupied by
prominent ST. Louis persons as summer
homes. The land has a river frontage Of
onc-half mile and a harbor adequate for
extensive barge lines. Other land adjoin-
ing Mr.. Loves property has also been
bought from c. II. Girard and John Her
rold OF l<immswick.
Judge Seldom p Spencer, the st. Louis
.ttorney. represented tho Cudahy COM
pany in the purchases at Eimmswick. Al
though declining to go into details as n
the plans Of the concern, Judge Spencer
last night acknowledged that arrangements
were nearly ready for the completion of
the pipe line from the oil fields to the
MISSISSIPPI river.
That the Cudahy company, upon COM
pletion Of the pipe line, intends to invade
st. Louis in competition with the Waters

Governor of German Cameroons Ac-

African Natives.

The Bee)-Herr Won Puttkamer governor

Among other charges II is asserted that
Captain Won Besser alone was responsible
for the death from starvation of hundreds
Of natives. The captain was In charge of
an expedition in the Cameroons, composed
Of native troops in the service OF the gov
ernment
A German lieutenant is quoted as stating
that at the time that these natives were
dying provisions were easily obtainable. but
that the captain refused to allow supplies
to be bought. When other officers asked the
reason for the prohibition the captain re-
piled that he wanted the native pigs to die
and that In allowing them to die he was
only pleasing his government. According to
the story the victims remained unburied and
their bodies were devoured by vultures.
Right in line with this are the charges
brought against Governor Horn OF Togo

money and refused to confess was fright
