WORK IS STOPPED
AWAITING VERDICT
Associated Oil Company Will
Suspend Operations at
Elk Hills
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


BAKERSFIELD. Sept. 5.--The Asso-
ciated Oil company has discontinued all
work in the Elk hills and it is given
out that no further expenditures in
this field will be made until the gov
ernment's attitude in regard to with
drawn lands is determined. The hold
ings are within the withdrawn territory.
The company has done enough work to
hold the land in case of a favorable
decision, having developed oil.- and is
satisfied with the showing. The Union
Oil company is continuing work.
The Honolulu Oil company brought in
an 5000 barrel gusher of high gravity
oil on section 81 1928 in the Midway
field on Saturday at depth of 5000
feet So far efforts to control the well
have been without avail.
On account of the immense quantity
of gas and spray and its close proxim-
ity to the railroad no trains are run to
the end Of the track. for fear of set
ting the well on fire from the locomo-
tives.
Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock q
special meeting of the Independent Oil
Producers agency will be held here to
pass upon the storage proposition as
formulated by the executive committee.
owing to the important bearing the
storage plan has upon the future Of the
agency. A large attendance is ,ex-
pected. Other matters will also come
before the meeting.

The body of bear was found and it
was first thought the lads had been

brought one body to light. A bullet
hole was in the right temple.
Turno has lived a hermits existence
for the last 25 months. He was re-
garded as insane, but was believed to
be harmless. 1t is thought he believed
the boys had been set out to kill him.
Turno is thought to be hiding in the
fastnesses Of the Wynoeche. He has a
good start, for the murder was no
doubt committed Sunday. Officers do
not believe he will give up without a

H HANGHAI, Sept 5.-The flood
caused by the overflow of the
. Yangtse river is the most ex-
tensive and deepest in the
memory of man. Nganhwei province
is submerged to greater depth than
ever before. and widespread famine
threatens.
Besides the 100000 persons reported
drowned. millions are homeless and
facing starvation. It is estimated that
so per cent of the crops in the flooded
districts are ruined. The price of rice
rapidly is advancing to prohibitive
levels; mobs have raided the stocks of
rice dealers at numerous places. The
whole visible supply of rice will last
only two weeks, it is estimated here.
Property Loss Heavy
Foreign property has suffered heav-
lily and trade is affected seriously. The
Lao river in Manchuria also has over
flowed its banks, many have been
drowned and a famine in that section
is certain. Besides. China is torn by
Internal disorders. There are rebellions
in fve sections of the empire.
In the Province Kansu, the Moham-
Siningfu. Elusive terrorists infest
Canton and reports have been received
that Chinese troops in Tibet have been
defeated with a loss of 500 men and
have retired into Lhasa.
Russia Appealed To
The Mongolian princes and religious
heads are uniting against the Chinese
development and colonization scheme.
and are reported to have appealed to
Russia for protection.
The people of the Province Szechuan
have risen against the railway projects.
chiefly the Szechuan- Hankow project
The troops still maintain order, but
their loyalty is doubted. Success in
Szechuan would practically mean the
end of railroad development through
out the country. The government
however. has informed the legation
that it will crush the rebels.
The British-American Tobacco COM
pany will send its own relief corps to
Wuhu, where there is an American
mission, to distribute $4,000 worth of
rice. This amount will keep 5000 peo-
pie alive for two months.
Government Protects Missions
ROSTON Sept 5-A cablegram re-
ceived at the headquarters of the Amer
ican Baptist Foreign Mission, society
here today Indicated that there has
been rfoting in Chengtu, West China,
where the society has mission. The
cablegram stated that the government
had provided ample protection to the
