To SELL OIL
At S|XTY-F|VE CENTS

]. M. Danziger, a director of the
American Oilfelds, denied in Bakers
field last week that negotiations are
pending for the sale of the section 80,
31-32, production of his company to the
Standard at IS cents. Mr.. Danzlger
said that his company would not con-
slider letting the oil from that section,

profit with the government. In return
for this prolongation of their conces~
sion the company undertake TO pay
into the Egyptian treasury during the
sixty years to come annual sums care
fully calculated on a fair financial
basis.
These sums, it is calculated, would
in the period between now and 1863
place at the disposal of the govern
ment an amount not less than $780,
100000. The authority for this figure
is DR.. Nimr, editor of the widely cir
culated Arabic journal, Eel Mokattam,
and one of the ablest men In the coun-
try. Wisely spent, such an amount
would be of enormous advantage to
country perpetually in want of funds.
The Nationalist party, however, is
clamorously demanding that the legis-
lative council shall reject the proposal.
Prince Hussein, the president of the
council, Is so depressed by their atti-
tude and by the personal attacks made
upon himself also that he speaks or
wishing to resign his post and abandon
public life. Egypt for the Bgyptlons"
is the cry of the Nationalists. They
say, Let us get rid of all foreigners
as quickly as we can" Also they
argue that If Egypt obtains possession
Of the canal in 1869 it will be able to
make huge profits. Also they profess
to disbelieve that the $450,000,000 would
not be applied to the development Of
Egypt. "The English would steal ii, p"
they assert, "or send 1t to the Sudan. :"
AS to the contention that Egypt
would benefit to a greater extent finan-
cially by taking over the canal in 1869,
it is palpably unsound. The canal has
become so necessary to the commerce
Of all nations that they would cer-
tainly not allow the dues to be raised,
and to make the Nationalist dream
come true with the present rates In
force ships would have to follow one
another through at the rate of one an
hour both by night and day, which is
absurd. In all probability the canal
dues will have to be reduced again
before very long, as they have been
once already. There is this to be con-
sdered, too: In sixty years time the
modes of travel and conveyance may
be as different from those of today as
the latter are from those Of 1869. There
is the conquest Of the air to be reck-
oned with.

FIND MANGLED HEAD
OF FRENCH BEAUTY
Atrocious Crime Is Scented by Detee-
tives as Torso of Woman Is
Found at Dillon, France

PARIS. April 9.-The discovery in
the Rue Botzaris of the mutilated head
of a woman. which had evidently been
only recently severed from its body,
leads to supposition that another hor-
rible crime has been perpetrated. A
policeman named Louvelle, who lives
in the Rue Botzaris, was out for a
walk with his dog when the animal
discovered beneath avail a packet
containing the head, which had been
mutilated out of recognition.
1t was apparently the head of a wom-
an between 20 and 80 years of age, and
the blood. which had not coagulated,
showed that the crime had only been
recently committed. M. Hamard, the
chief of the detective force, is attempt
ing to discover the trunk Of the body
with the aid of several of the best
Paris police dogs. NJ. Hamard said
that the crime seemed to have been
deliberately planned, and that the face
had been mutilated to prevent a pho
tograph from being taken which might
lead to Identification.
Several policemen who saw the head
at the Rue Bradier police station be-
lieVed they recognized 1t as that of a
woman of remarkable beauty.
A telegram has been received from
Dillon stating that the headless body of
a woman also has been found there
No details are at hand. but 1t is won
dered whether this discovery has any
thing to do with the Paris one, and
whether a new form of Jack the Rip
per- has broken out.
