ITALY ARRANGES TO
BURN OIL ON SHIPS.
Advocates of Petroleum at Milan
Influence Government to
Change from Coal

Italy is thinking of substituting pc
troleum for coal in it's industries, and
an Italian national industry of petro-
leum is to be founded. The Sole, of
Milan, is devoting columns to this
subject Signor Luzzatti, again, is
in favor of the substitution of pc
troleum for coal in ships, and he Is
strong enough to bring about the
change without foreign help.
At the beginning Of the century
Signor Charles de Grave Sells
(Messrs. Ansaldo and company, and
other Genoese authorities, were able
to declare that it was the only navy
that had adopted oil fuel throughout
and had standard burners and fit
tings."
The italian naval authorities had
all the advantages of a good start,
and they were able to adopt 1t with
every hope of success, because as far
back as 1890 they conducted series
of trials which proved that oil could
be used with advantage in the furn-
aces of warships.
Several torpedo boats were equipped
to burn oiHfuel, but in the case of a
number of ,arge vessels 1t was used in
conjunction with COAL and the ac-
acknowledgement was Officially made that
the only reason why the system was
not adopted throughout the ueSI Was
because there were no large fields in
Italy and experts feared that in the
event of a declaration of war foreign
fuel supplies might be cut off at the
moment when they were most needed.
Concerning the naval experiments
of that time, Signor Sells wrote-''1n
the smaller vessels buring oil fuel
exclusively, an increased power was
obtained with a relatively smaller
consumption of fuel, the work in the
stokehold was easy, and the speed
could be maintained for any length
of time.
1.-TWO or three hours was the limit
at which a torpedo boat could run at
full speed when fired with solid fuel."
The increase of power in some of the
older ships, when oil was substituted
for coal, amounted to as much as 20
per cent.
He also said: "An immense advan-
tage had been found to result from
the change" in that I'm larger in
stallations the stokehold staff could be
considerably reduced"
At the present time the italian navy
has it's own colliers, which run regu-
larly to Bristol channel port for Welsh
coal for the fleet. The naval au-
thorities have followed the lead of the
British navy and secured a fleet of
euXiliary tank steamers to carry
American and Russian oil for the oil
fired warships and government-owned
depots ashore.

OIL VENTURES
ARE CONSIDERED FAKES

FRESNO, Sept 16.-The news has
been circulated on the streets here,
and was given confirmation last night
by local stockholders, that the Fres-
no-Wyoming Oil company, composed
largely of Fresno people, is dead.
There is a rumor that a prospect well
partly responsible for the venture was
"salted."
The company, with mostly Fresno
money interested, went on to ground
in wyoming, in what was understood
to have good indications Some oil
has been produced in that state, but
never any great quantities Now the
story goes that some one on the Wy
oming end of the deal hauled out ten
gallon cans of perfectly good oil under
loads OF hay and poured the ire
proachable product down a prospect
hole near by. This gave very fair
showing of oil in the well.
Stockholders confirmed the fact last
night that they have never realized
from their investment
AL Braverman of this city, one Of
those interested in the defunct com
pany said last evening that the con-
Germ has been practically dead for a
wear. The story of a "salted" prospect
we'll has not been conf1merd, and 1t is
not believed susceptible of proof. He
admitted, however, that this theory Of
the matter had reached the direc-
torate.
The prospect we'll that is reported
"salted" was not, however, the main
inducement which led Fresno people
to think that they would find oil in
their well. The place where the Fres-
wyoming operated was on ground
designated as oil land in the United
States geologic survey. and showing
oP oil was obtained but not in COM
mercial quantities. Further, the land
was thought a good proposition by
various oil men who saw it. 1t is ad-
mitted, however, that the reported
finding of oil in the nearby prospect
well was an inducement to local peo-
pie to operate.
Another Fresno compan.', called the
Uinca, went into the same territory at
the time.

It is a good suggestion: il gives prestige and standing to the farmer and his farm: it adds to the value of the farm by advertising it, especially if it is a well-improyed well-kept place and the premises are clean and inviting and in order. It impresses the place upon the minds of passers-by It makes the place more easily found by strangers seeking it, and it would add interest and pleasure to drive in the country.

''The quarrel, believe" he per-
sisted, "was about Mr.. Armstrong;
conduct to you, Miss Gertrude. He
had been paying you unwelcome at
tentions"
And 1 had never seen the man!
When she nodded yes" saw the
tremendous possibilities involved If
this detective could prove that Ger
trude feared and disliked the muir
dered man, and that Mr.. Armstrong
had been annoying and possibly pur-
suing her with hateful attentions, all
that, added to Gertrude's confession
of her presence in the billiard room
at the time Of the crime, looked
strange, to say the least. The promi-
nence of the family assured strenu-
Gus effort to find the murderer, and if
we had nothing worse to look forward
to, we were sure of a distasteful pub
licity.
Mr.. Jameson shut his notebook
with a snap and thanked US.

of nothing at all, that at any rate the
ghost is laid here. Whatever the rap
pings have been-and the colored man
says they began when the family went
west three months ago-they are like
ly to stop now"
Which shows how much he knew
about it. The ghost was not laid;
with the murder of Arnold Armstrong
he, or it, only seemed to take on fresh
vigor.
Mr.. Jameson left then, and when
Gertrude had gone upstairs, as she did
at once, 1 sat and thought over what
I had just heard. Her engagement.
once so engrossing a matter, paled
now beside the significance of her
story. If Halsey and Jack Bailey had
left before the crime, how came Hal
sey's revolver in the tulip bed? What
was the mysterious cause of their sud-
den flight? What had Gertrude left
in the billiard room? What was the
significance of the cuff-link and where
was it?
