OIL CONCESSION
Los Angeles Man Given Right
to Construct Pipe Line
to Cost $10,000,000.
By the Associated Press.

Dy tue Associated tfeSS.
MEXICO CITY. September 13.-Clay
T. Yerby Of Los Angeles, Calf, has
been granted a concession to con-
struct an oil pipe line from Puerto,
Mexico. on the gulf coast to Salina
Cruz. on the shore of the Pacific An
nouncement that this concession had
been granted was made here last
night by ]. Y. Flynn, representative
in Mexico City Of Mr.. Yerby. It was
said the pipe line would follow the
Tehuantepec railroad and that the
concession gave Mr.. Yerby the right
to use federal lands, terminals and
port facilities.
Work to Begin at Once.
Mr.. Flynn said that more than one
pipe line would be laid. but that
work on the first. a ten-inch line,
would begin at once and would be
completed within twenty-six months.
The concession will run eighteen
years after the work of laying the
the capacity of all lines laid under
the concession will be operated under
federal regulations governing COM
mon carriers. and the remainder of
the capacity Will be subject to con-
tract by the operating company.
1t is estimated that the cost of the
work will be $10,000.000 gold. and it
is pointed out that by means of the
pipe line the time of transporting
oil from the east to the west coast
Of Mexico will be cut down by eleven
days. and the distance covered will
be 1890 miles less than through the
Panama canal.
Not only will the pipe line route
provide cheaper fuel for industries
in the Mexican Pacific states, but
Mexican oil will be placed within
easy reach of Pacific land far east
fueling stations.
Some months ago it was said that
the United States Shipping Board had
made a futile attempt to obtain ]
similar concession. 50 that it might
provide a supply of fuel oil for the
Pacific feet. Mr.. Yerby and an as.
sociate. Hugh B. Evans. both of Los
angeles, are now in New York city
arranging for the construction of the
pipe lines. = ''@

FREDERICK, Md, September 10
More than 100000 worth of bonded
whisky was stolen from the Horsey
liquor warehouses at Burkittsville,
twelve miles southwest of Frederick,
early Saturday morning, while the in
habitants slept, and while a ware,
house guard lay concealed along the
roadside. too frightened to give the
alarm. as his companion guard lay
bound in the warehouse Office.
Admission that the liquor, $500 gal
Ions in quart bottles, had been stolen
was made yesterday by Charles T
Meyer, Burkittsville, head of the cor
poration that took over the Horsey
Distillery property before the enact
ment of the prohibition amendment
Reported to U. 8. Authoritiea.
He said that the loss to the corpora
ton would be about0$50,000 and that
the value of the haul TO hoot'"g~e-~
would be more than 100000. He said
he has reported the theft to the fed
eral authorities.
Sheriff William D. Wertenbaker and
Chief of Police John Derr deny pos
session of any information concerning
the raid. Both claim no report was
made to them.
Maurice Pittman. both of near Cam
bridge. Md. have made affidavit that
there were from twelve to fifteen
men in the raiding party. Meyer
claims that it required a fleet of five
to eight trucks to haul away the
quantity Of liquor taken from the
storehouse.
Willing was on duty when three
men, who he says posed as revenue
officers and showed badges confirm
ing their claims. appeared at the
Office where he was sitting. They
spoke casually, and said they had
heart reports that the warehouse
was to be robbed that night.
Watching their opportunity, the
three men leaped on Willing, over
powered him, bound him and threw
him to the floor of the ofIice. Willing
aays a gun was fired. and that a
! { pzen more men appeared and broke
into the warehouse.
Pittman, who says he was at a

He saw a fleet of trucks and severa

VINEGAR MADE OF WASTE
TO BE GIVEN NEW NAME
AFTER 20 YEARS FIGHT

ROCHESTER, N. Y, September
13.-Announcement Is made here
at the executive offices of the
American Cider and Vinegar Man.
ufacturers' Association that the
Secretary of Agriculture had
granted the associations conten-
tion that vinegar made from waste
or evaporated apples should not be
branded as cider" or -"pure cider"
vinegar. He had ruled. however,
that 1t might be labeled apple"
vinegar. The association was said
by it's counsel, former State Sena-
ton William w. Armstrong, of this
city. to have fought for such a rul-
ing for twenty years.
The ruling, according to word
received by the association. was
made to regulate the branding of
vinegar until court decision on
the matter can be obtained.
A statement issued by the asso-
ciatIon declared that the makers
of vinegar from apple waste have
been sending out waste vinegar as
pure cider vinegar by the hun
dreds of thousands of barrels. In
deed, they have practically enjoyed
a monopoly of the vinegar busi-
ness" 1t is claimed that the prac-
tice constitutes unfair competition
with manufacturers who make
vinegar from whole apples.

d. c. NIGHT SCHOOLS
TO OPEN OCTOBER3.
That Date Tentatively Fixed.
Fewer and Longer Classes
to Be Formed.
,$75,0 900 FOR OPERATION
Graded Glasses May Not Start on
Date Announced by Au-
! thorities.
$4,000 FOR OPERATION

Opening of the District public night
schools has been tentatively set for
Monday, October 3, it was announced
today by school authorities. Prepara-
tfons for organizing the night school
system already have been started. and
1t is believed they will be completed
within the next several weeks.
Fewer classes will be formed in the
night schools this year and some de-
gree of permanency established
among the students. in order that they
can be operated for eight consecutive
months on the limited appropriations
granted by Congress. Heretofore these
schools have been forced to close long
before the day institutions, due to the
iack OF FUNDS. despite the fac that
dehciency appropriation was allowed
s75.OoO for Operation.
Congress this year has granted s75.-
600 for the operation of the night
schools. Last year 100000 was al
lowed in the original appropriation
bill. but deficiency of $4,000 had to
be made up to continue their opera
ton until May. 1t is the intention of
schoo! off1cials to run the night
schools this year without asking Tor
ucACIcHCy appropriation.
In reducing the number Of classes in
the night schools officials point out
that there also will be a reduction in
the teaching personnel There were
about 200 teachers in the night schools
last year. This year the teaching per-
sonnei probably will be cut to about
$50.
k School authorities also made it clear
that there will be no new subjects in
troduced in the night schools this
year. I'VE are going to get down to
an efficiency basis on the old SUBJ
jects." said one official.
Graded Schools May Not Open.
Some of the graded night schools in
the outlying sections of the city, it
was said, probably will not be opened
l. this year. Attendance in some of the
schools in the subdivisions. it was
| said. has been too small to justify the
expense of their operation. Glasses in
other schools. where the attendance
| is not large. it was asserted. also will
be closed.
| Consideration being given by
| school officials to a plan to award
diplomas to night school students
years certificates have been presented
at the close of the night schools GER
| tifying the amount of work done by
the students.
| Definite plans for organizing the
night school system will be worked
out at a series of conferences next
! week between school authorities and
principals of the night schools. The
dates for these meetings will be ar
ranged soon by Walter B. Patterson,
director of special schools.
