BURIED ON SUSPICION.

1T is a rule to which most good
lawyers adhere" observed a we'll
known attorney, 'never to tell more
than one knows. There was an Incl
dent in a Western town where law
yer carried the rule to the extreme.
Counsel for one side objected to a
person, whose name was on the court $
register for some purpose or other, on
the ground that he was dead. The
counsel on the other side declined to
accept the assurance and demanded
conclusive testimony on the point.
"Whereupon counsel for the other
side arose and gave corrobative evl-
dence as to the decease of the man in
question.
"'But, sir. how do you know the
mans dead?' demanded the opposing
counsel. ..
"sWen.' was the reply. 4 don't
know. It's very difficult to prove
GAS / suspected. You don't know
whether he's dead or not"
"'No. But l know this-they buried
him about a month ago on suspicion!' "

BULLETINS TIP
AS TO OIL PROFITS
GET IT AT THE RIGHT TINE
AND STICK.
Denver Financiers and Business Men
Behind New Wyoming Company
and Invite Labor Men to Make
Safe Investment.

The Investment of money in oil just
now is attracting nearly every man
and woman who has little money to
5nvest-the possibilities of making
large profits in this class of invest
uent are perhaps the greatest of any
speculative investment. The Bulletin
has heretofore been particularly care
full in accepting advertisements from
the different oil companies operating
IN Wyoming, Kansas and Oklahoma
their claims struck US as bordering on
bunk in a good many cases and we
aid not want our readers to be infiu-
enced into what might have proven a
bad investment through the columns
Of this paper. But the time has come
for all of US to face the situation hon
estly and unbiased. The oil industry
is now one of the greatest industries
of the world. The coming of the gas
and motor engine and the hundred
other uses for gasoline and petroleum
oil products is eating up the surplus
Of 5O,O00,O0O barrels on hand the first
of the year at the rate of 800, 900 bar
rels a month. This shortage of pro
duCtion is the source of alarm by the
United States government which has
urged the people to reform as much
as possible from pleasure motoring
and other unnecessary expenditure of
gasollne-so all in all the oil question
Is one that we should look into care
fully
That tremendous fortunes have
been made in oil investments is an un-
questioned fact, and that there are
tremendous possibilities for profits
IN oil stock investments now is also
undOubted. So we now advise and
recommend the working man to con-
sider this problem in the same light
as the bigger men of finance and in
vest what money they can spare in
oil stock investments-for by careful
examination of statistics we find that
90 per cent of the wells drilled in
Wyoming are proving successful.
On another page of this issue you
will see the announcement of The
Heaton Oil and Refining Company.
The officers and directors of this COM
pany are well known to US and we
can vouch for them as straight clean
cut business men who will give every
man and woman investing in their
company a square and fair deal, and
knowing as we do that their holdings
are in some of the very best fields in
Wyoming and that they intend drill
ing almost at once, that an investment

were given the floor and explained the
situation as it now exists in that city

A communication from the Interna-

Workers was read, giving additional
information on the situation as it eX-
lists in the mining industry in the
western country and the northwest.
A union barber shop was located in
the city this week that had so few of
the label cigars that a committee of
three was appointed to call on the pro-
prietor and see if ne could not be
shown the error of his way and give
the label goods a better showing. 1t
frequently occurs that non-union
places have more label goods than the
union ones. 1t is our friends that we
must look to for cooperation.
A canvas of some of the leading
cigar stands shows a marked improve
ment in display Of label goods. The
product of the three non-uniOn cigar
factories in the city is not in evidence
i'm the city They evidently have to
seek a market outside the city. This
speaks well for the loyalty of organ
ized labor in refusing this unfair out

made into a very desirable Labor Tenn

unions interested. At any rate it is
worthy of consideration.

Mammoth Plot Learned and vice-ConSul of Germany Arrested
 by Officials.
WOMEN WERE THE BAIT
Had Plotted for Months to Start Instruction Against United
 States.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. That German intrigue has stretched out it's talons into the Philippien Islands and sought to create insurrection there was learned today.
 Conrad Andre, German vice-consul for Cebu, Iloilo and other islands, was detained on charge of trying to create disturbance" which was in reality an insurrection. Taken to Manila to escape an angry mob Andre was held there for some time and then released for want of posi- tive evidence. though he is still un der careful government watch.
 Andre surrounded himself with a number of Filipinos and sought to gain strength for the insurrection by promising the Filipinos, among other things, any white woman in Cebn they wanted if they would rise against the Americans. This was last April, shortly after the United States entered the war.
 Wanted to Lynch Him
 When this angle of the situation became known the residents of Ce- bu were so incensed that there was talk of lynching and Andre was hurried out of town to escape vio- lence.
 In addition to the insurrection. Andre was suspected of trying to establish a submarine base in an aP I oF ka ell Subsequently ship bearing com plete machine shop outfit was de- tained off the islands.
 At one time in the course of An dre's machinatiOns he travelled about the islands on an American ship. bearing trunkful of papers, which he did not wish British naval az ents to know about. The papers, however, were secretly photograph ed en route and the pictures are said to be in the possession of the American government.
 An Active Agent
 Again Andre was in an automobile accident which threw him and a mysterious looking bag a short dis tance from the car. The bag was missing when the debris had been collected. and while Andre appar- ently suspected the papers therein had fallen into unfriendly hands, he was in no position to protest
 Andre, the youngest of the con- suls in Cebu-the second city in the Philippine islands had been particularly active in building up German trade. He was agent for the North German Lloyd and for a big German commercial concern. which was trying to force British capital out of the rich trade with the islands.

LONDON, Sept. 21.-The official statement issued today shows the completeness of the British success e east of Ypers yesterday. This statement has been confirmed by the detailed accounts. The Ger mans lost heavily in the counter at tacks. 1t Is stated that the gains are represented by the average of a mile deep and the strongholds of the Germans, like the Nuns Wood, Glencores Wood, Iverness copse and the Shrewsbury Forest, which wthstood numerous fierce assaults recently, were overrun en- tireiy by the British forces and it is reported that many gains were made in various parts of the line moro than the average of a mile deep. These gains have resulted in the capture of the wooded heights named above which have formed the keystone of the German structure of defense in this sector.

State Department Making Public Attempt of the Former Ambassador
 to Bribe Congress
s5o,0o0 FOR A BRIBE
Money Was to Be Spent Influencing Congress to Avoid Rushing
 into the War.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. = The State Department today quietly threw another bomb shell showing up the intrigue of the Germans when authorization was given for the publication of message sent last January by former German Ambassador to the United States von Bernstorff, to the Berlin for eign office requesting authority to pay $50000 to influence Congress through certain organization. The message says:
 ITO pay out fifty thoasand x dollars in order, al on former occasions, to influence Con- gress through organizations you know of, by which per- haps war can be prevented. I am beginning, in the mean. time, to act accordingly in the above circumstances. A public official here has declared in favor of Ireland and is highly desirable to gain support of Irish influence here"
 Bernstorff's reference to avoiding war is taken as an indication that he had prior knowledge of Ger many's intention to proclaim . merciless widespread submarine warfare and he was equally conf- dent that the United States would not be easily placated by mere promises of the German Imperial government that American shipping would not be molested and neu- trals would not suffer.
