HEARD AROUND
THE CORRIDORS
TO EXPORT CALIFORNIA
OIL TO SOUTHERN COAST
BY THE EAvEsDRGPPER

Pablo Masanelli, former railroad COM
missioner of Chile, who has arrived at
the Alexandria, brings news of the clos
ing of contract between a large Cali
fornia soil company and the nitrate of
soda interests in Chile which probably
means that at least 100000 barrels of
California oil will be exported annually
to that country.
From the two northern provinces of
Chile comes the nitrate of soda which
supplies the gun powder for the whole
world, and in the mining of that 45O,-
900 tons of coal have been used an
nually. 1t was recently discovered,
through the opening of a crude oil well
in South America, that crude oil pro-
duces better results than coal, and this
contract just completed will revolu-
tioniZe in that country.
The Chilean nitrate of soda mines are
known all over the world, and the re-
markabe industry is a great source of
revenue to the country.
The mines are nearly all owned by
English capital and the amount in
vested is enormous. Oil ships are to be
built which will carry great quantities
of the crude product of California wells
to Chile, and it is thought that out Of
this first contract VIII grow otnerS,
larger and more important.
The number of uses to which nitrate
of soda is being put is increasing rapid
ly, and one of the more recent i'm
portant uses to which it is being put
is agricultural. 1t has been found that
no soil is so poor that ii will not produce
growth when nitrate of soda has been
added as a fertilizer and it is much in
demand in all parts of the world.
The Japanese have recently been in
terested in this Chilean product, and it
is believed that it will be used extern
sively in Japan, where the soil is SO
poor that it will not supply the needs
of the people.

IS ARRESTED
Police Believe They Have Man Who
Has Been Robbing Houses
Under Guise of Meter
Man

G. E. Drew was arrested at 211 sun
set boulevard last night on suspicion.
He is alleged to have represented him
self to be a gas inspector and forced
his way into the place by stating that
he was sent to inspect the meter His
manner in the house is said to have
been so questionable as to arouse the
fears of the occupants that he intended
to rob the rooms, for he is alleged to
have sought entrance to several rooms
on the pretense of examining the gas
jets, and he was watched so closely that
he had no opportunity to steal any
thing.
While the man was going through the
house the police were sent for and
Drew was taken to the central police
station. The police have received sew
eral complaints from people about a
man who had entered their homes
with the introduction that he was a
gas inspector and they had found them
selves robbed when he left.
Although the police do not openly
accuse Drew of being the man guilty
of these thefts, they strongly suspect
him, and are making an investigation
into his past record.

WOULD INVOLVE
AMERICA IN WAR
Methodist Leader Tells Students at
University That japan Has No
Hostile Intentions Toward
the United -tates g..

c. M Harris, Methodist bishop of
Japan, addressed the students of the
University of Southern California yes
terday morning in the college chapel.
He talked on Japans relations with
America and the world in general.
Bishop Harris said the schools of
America must be prepared during the
next few years for a great invasion
from the five hundred millions of peo-
pie on the other side of the Pacific.
After speaking of the Perry treaty,
the bishop said: Japan reveres the
name America. Some of our neighbors
would be glad il Japan and America
became involved. Germany in particu
lar seems interested in bringing about
a misunderstanding. Japan does not
want the Philippines or Hawaii She
has plans ior internal development
which will take five hundred years of
continuous peace for her to realize"
DR.. Harris further said that the
Japanese gave the United States all
credit for starting her on her new era.
AS to relations with Corea he said:
Japan wants to treat Corea just like
the Americans desire to treat the
Philippines" Japanese soldiers were
held up as the greatest on earth and it
was shown why Japan's recent victory
brought peace to the orient which
could be brought about in no other way.
