AFTER PEARSON GRANTS.
May Have GObbled Mexi-
can OIL Lands.

That the Standard Oil Company is
negotiating for the purchase of the
great Pearson oil concessions in Mexico
is reported in Washington in dispatches
from Tampico. That the sale of the
concessions to the Standard Oil Com
pany probably is an accomplished fact is
the substance of an editorial in Lon
don financial publication which has
heretofore been well informed upon
the status of Mexican investments.
The Tampico dispatch reports that
Sir Weldon Pearson now Lord Cow
drey, was in that city September IL and
Is, and in conference there with John
worthington, field expert, and Arthur
Corwin, field manager of the Southern
Pennsylvania Oil Company, the produc-
ing branch of the Standard OIL Com
pany, the proposed tanking and stor-
age facilities" of the Pearson interests
were looked over.
The oil experts, with the SON of Lord
Cowdrey, the dispatch continues, pro-
ceeded to visit the oil fields where
Pearson well is In operation.
IT has been assumed that Lord Cow
drey's desire to gain American owner
ship for his concessions Is in the inter-
est of evading the possibility OF revo-
cation of his concessions by the Mexi-
can Congress. This menace has been
hanging over him ever since the inau-
r,ratIon of the recent revolution, and
bids fair to be an issue raised IN the
Mexican Congress with the incoming OF
the new administration after the Octo-
ber elections

Mystify Casino Patrons.
Two brothers will give to Washington
this season the greatest array of hand
cuff, locksmith, jailbreaking, and chaI-
lenge feats that 1t has been the good
fortune Of theatergoers to witness. Ad-
mittedly the most skilled manipulators
of handouts and other appliances for
the restraint OF criminals are these two
brothers, Theodore Weiss and Harry
Weiss. In the theatrical world. they are
known as Theodore Weiss Harden and
Harry Weiss Houdini, or briefer still,
Harden and Houdini.
Eighteen years ago these boys started
out as the Houdinis. They played all
kinds of music halls and show shops,
even resorting to curbstone exhibitions
when they could not obtain terms. To-
their profession-kings Of the handouts.
Next week, Harden, the brother who
has spent most of his time battling the
police departments Of the world, will ap-
pear at the Casino Theater. In jan

as the headline feature. That same
month Harden will appear in one OF the
Washington combination theaters head
ing a show OF mysteries.
Hardeen's work is not so well known
in Washington as that Of Houdini, but
next week theatergoers will have ample
opportunity to satisfy themselves as to
his claims OF phenomenal and startling
feats. In addition to the mlIk-can es-
cape, the packing-box, trunk, strait
jacket, and fnsane-belt escapes, Har-
deem will present a series Of achieve

bands estate. She also seeks the ap-
pOintment of a successor to Dante TO
administer the trust under the direction
of the court.

from making any payments out of the
income of the estate, except those au-
thorized by the court. Mrs. Hutchins
asks the court to order a proper allow
ance out of Hutchins' estate for the
maintenance of herself and her husband.
Mrs. Hutchins alleges that Dante vio-
lated his trust by transferring, without
consideration, large blocks of stock, val
ued at about 100000 and belonging to
the trust, to Lee HutChins.
Mrs. Hutchins also charges Dante with
rendering erroneous and conflicting
statements regarding mortgages against
certain pieces of real estate.
Dante is charged with approprtatlng
against Mrs. Hutchins' protests a por-
ton of the income from the estate to
the payment of mortgages which were
not primary obligations. Dante is fur
ther alleged to have expended large
sums of money for unnecessary and ex-
travagant repairs without the approval
of the court.
That Dante made payments to Walter
Hutchins without any written authority
and paid life insurance premiums on
Walter Hutchins' life is also charged by
Mrs. Hutchins.
