j. M. Parker, who gives his age
as 80, has been arrested by Sheriff
Matt Sankey and is now in the coun
ty Jail awaiting the arrival of the
county sheriff of Joplin, Missouri
who will take Parker to Joplin tc
answer charge of stealing an au
tomobile, county officials reported
this morning.
Parker is reported Ito have been
staying at a local hotel for the past
five or six weeks and his actions
were such that the proprietor be
came suspicious of him, and called
the attention of county officers tc
the fact that Parker would sleeI
through the greater part of the day
leaving his automobile in front OF
the hotel during the early part OF
the night and be gone until near
daybreak the following morning.
The theory was that the mar
might have stolen the automobile he
was driving, a new Essex, but city
and county officials could find M
description in their files of a stolen
car that corresponded to the one
Parker had in his possession. How
ever, in looking over the files of the
Oklahoma City police department
day or two ago, Sheriff Sankey found
the description of a car that check
ed with the one the suspect was us
ing, and the immediate arrest of Par
ker was the result.
When arrested, Parker is reported
rs saying that he did not steal the
car but traded another car and eight
cases of whiskey for it.
A telegram received at the sher
ifs office this morning stated that
the sheriff from Joplin, Missouri,
would start for Chickasha as soon
as proper requisition papers for Par.
ker could be secured

But Declares Oil Men Must at
Least Do the Same.
BY United Press.


Mexico City, Jan. 29.-The recent
decree of President Carranza author
izing and granting permission for

panies 'paves the way to a com
plete and amicable settlement of the
oil controversy between the United
States and Mexico
This belief was expressed today
by Louis Cabrera. leading member
Of the cabinet of President Carran.
"a.
In an exclusive interview with the
United Press, Carebra, who stands
second in Mexican affairs only to
President Carranza, declared that he
was confident that a satisfactory
settlement Is possible"
"The Mexican government is ready
to meet the oil companies half way
but the oil men must show the same
willingness" he said.
The Mexican officials pointed out
that there is too much disposition on
the part of the oil companies to
make every complaint that they may
have an international and diplomatic
issue.
