Los Angeles have 1t that oil has beer

liar nature are afloat.
President w. F. Beal this morning
denied all such rumors. He received
the written report of DR.. E. A. Starlle,
Los Angeles geologist,, on the condi-
tion of the we'll which bears out the
statements heretofore made.
The written report states that there
is pressure of $50 pounds of gas per
square inch in the well at the present
time. that black oil and asphaltic tar
a,e now coming from the we'll and that
gasoline is present in both the oil
and gas.
THE REPORT
The report concludes with the state
ment that if the we'll was located in
the Midway California district that
the conditions would favor gusher.
D.. StaIke stated that as the geology

every indication pointed to the fact
that a commercial well would be

MOTHER AND SIX
CHILDREN Die IN FIRE
Efforts to Take Family From
Burning Home Prove
Futile

Ellwood City, Pa, June 2S. -
Trapped In their apartments in the
third floor Of the Kraus Building in
Lawrence avenue, and beyond the aid
Of fremen who. fought heroically to
save them, a mother and her six chill
dren met death yesterday when flames
destroyed the building and damaged ad-
joining property, causing losses esti-
mated at SAC, 900. The dead:
Mrs. James CarIin, forty years old.
Eta Carlin. eleven years old.
Myrtle Carlin. nine years old.
Florence Carlin, seven years old.
James Carlin. Jr., five years old.
William Carlin, three years old.
An unnamed infant, five months old.
Two Of the children's bodies were
found together in the remains of a bed.
Mrs. Carlin was found with the body
of the infant clasped tight in her arms.
Two children were under bed and an :
other was in a sitting position in a
rocking chair with the ashes Of toys Ne
had attempted to save. All the bodies
we're, burned almost beyond recogni-
tion.
The fire apparently started in the
rear of the first floor of the building, a
three story brick structure. The fire.
men were unable to gain entrance
through the door on the first floor OF
the building and placed ladders against
the building to the third floor. where
Mrs. Carlin and her children were
trapped. Flames bursting from win
dows on the second floor made an ascent
on the ladders impossible.
The fire on the first floor had gained
such headway that when firemen event
ually gained entrance the stairways
were choked with flames and smoke.
Fighting the blaze for more than ar
hour, they were able to get it under
control enough to permit them to climr
ladders and enter third floor window
In this position they exttinguished the
blaze and began a search for the bodies
of Mrs. Carlin and her children.

self in accounts Of the Elwell case and
that he was waiting for the authorities
to call and question him further. a..
Yesterday morning he said, !

between the lines I judged that they
were shooting at me. / attended to
my business of renting house at sara .
toga Springs and then thought l would
come back.
''If the whole thing were not so seri !.

ever saw. OF course, 1t is serious, but
the whole thing is fasco.
Mr.. Pendleton was one Of about a
dozen former racing friends OF Elwell
who have been questioned and reques-
toned with reference to the afatrs
of the murdered turfman. He said last
night that the only point. which ne
knew Of, which had puzzled his ques-
tioners, was his declaration that the
telephone had not rung in his house
on the morning of the murder, although
one telephone operator said that
she remembered two attempts had been
made from the Elwell house between
AS and 2:30 on that morning to call
1S41 Far Rockaway, the number OF
Mr.. Pendleton's house. Neither call
was answered

Senator Says Political Atmos'
phere Is Clearing and Repub-
lican Victory Is Sure

"The people are sick and tired Of the
irresponsible Democratic personnel and
administration, according to Senator
Penrose today, and twill repudiate them
by an overwhelming vote in Novem-
ber."
The senator issued this statement this
morning through his secretary. Leigh
ton c. Taylor: Republicans feel very
confident of the ground upon which they
are about to wage the campaign. OF
the Democratic National Convention
declares its position upon the many
questions involved.
when the San Francisco convention
announces its nominees and its plat
form / shall be pleased to discuss more
fully the issues as they stand.
II am glad to feel that the atmos
phere Is becoming clearer every day
and the issues more definitely defined
Sanity, economy and sound American
ism are the dominating sentiments pre-
vailing among Republicans.
I'VE have had a great deal of wild
!. bose talk and suggestions of ridiculous
i Jcandfdacies ~hieh seem to have come
out OF the unsettled mental attitude OF
the people d1fing and since the war.
We will now get down to bed rock,
and there can be but one result"
Senator Penrose declares he is feeling
better every, day. -bpt does not care to
become too active again until assured
that his strength has definitely returned.
He spent many hours last night die

by the unions and the immediate rein

men members of the A. F. of L. who
lost their Jobs for taking part in the
April rail strike.

men would automatically do what the
present strike of yardmen has failed
to accomplishment Is, shutting down
rail service.
The other demands made by the
shopmen, but not contingent upon
fulfillment by IL o'clock tomorrow. are
the dropping of all criminal charges
against Jeffery for his official acts, a
minimum wage of eighty five cents an

gan new efforts to bring about peace.
During my absence in Scranton dur
ing this last railroad trouble, this
bureau has been open and at the dis =
posal of the railroad workers or railroad
companies, but neither side has made
any overtures," he said.
'My colleagues on the board have ad =
vised the railroad men informally to
await the decision of the federal wage
board and return to work"
Mr.. Tracy was asked: ''Do you think
the wage board has been slow in
acting?"
mo, I would not care to state that,
as l know their task has been tire
mendous, as there is no class of work
that is so complicated as railroad work
There are 20 many scales of wages, diff

the public Is not familiar, that 1t 1,
little to be wondered at that there has
been no decision"
