LIGHTED CIGAR WITH
AMERICAN FLAG

SATNTA MONICA, Cal, March %
-Repetant, Gottfried Schmidt, who
claimed he was a Germap-American
contritely caressed each star and
stripe of Old Glory here after he was
saved from the fury of mob who
saw him light cigar with a small
American flag.
Schmidt, drawing near throng
of beach visitors took n perfecto from
his pocket and calmly lighted it with
the flag.
The crowd rushed at him and would
have done him violence but for the
interference of Patrolman Charles w.
Sprankling.
At the police station Schmidt quick
y doffed his hat to Old Glory at the
command of Sergeant Burk. Chief
Reynolds then ordered Schmidt to his
knees and forced him TO kiss each star
and stripe of the banner.
Schmidt was then put on car and
warned never TO appear at the beach
again.
Schmidt said he was from New
York and that he was stopping at a
Pasadena hotel. He is a tall, soldierly
appearing man, with close.cropped
hair and unusually broad shoulders.
He did not look to be more than 25
years old.

Mr.. CATL|N COMING
To START OIL PLANT
The Successful Operation of
His Plant Means Millions
for EIkO

A letter from X. NJ. Catlin SAYS that
he expects to be in Elko about April
l, and that he will bring with him a
force of men who will complete his
plant at the shale beds, about a mile
south of town, preparatory to starting
operations.
Last summer Mr.. Catlin began the
construction of a plant for the ex-
traction of oil from shale. He ex.
pected TO have it in operation before
the winter months started, but un,
forseen difficulties were encountered
and when the plant was nearing com
pletion work was abandoned on ac
count of cold weather until spring.
The success of Mr.. CatIin's project
means millions TO Elko. There is an
unlimited quantity of oil shale OF easy
access, and after several years OF ex
pcrimenting Mr.. Catlin is thoroughly
satisfied that IL can be extracted at a
big profit. His faith in the PROPOSE.
ton is evidenced by the fact that he
is financing IL himself, and has re.
fused financial assistance, which has
been offered.
About two years ago he brought Mr..
Findlater here from England to look
over the field. Mr.. Findlater is re-
sarded as one of the greatest experts
on oil shale in the world, and he was
very enthusiastic over the proposition.
He spent several months exploring
and making tests. and in his report he
said that there was shale enough 10
produce ten thousand barrels of oil
day. for one hundred years. AS the
by-products also have commercial
value. there is good prospect for the
opening up of an industry of tremen-
dous proportions.

OVER DUE SHIPS CAUSE SUB

San Francisco, Aug. 29.-The To- cal board of marine shipping is un- easy regarding the unusual number Of vessels overdue in this port and in the orient. Three of the larg- est ships from the orient are much overdue in Pacific Coast ports It is feared that enemy nation forces may be contributing to upset the schedule of Pacific ships, and that submarines or armed tramp ships may be working havoc with Pacific trade. It was learned recently that Germany planned to send subma- rines of the Deutchland type to the Pacific to destroy shipping. especial ly that of san Francisco, and it is for this reason that so much un- is felt among shipping cir cles.
