your letter that viii make him believe you

Repudiate Big Oil Concession Held By
 British Interests

l.
 WASHINGTON, March 17.-A con- cession involving approximately 10000 square miles of potential oil fields in Costa Rica, granted by the old Tinoco government and held by British inter ests, has been repudiated by the new Costa Rica government.
 Advices today to the state depart ment said that the Costa Rican con- gress March voted, 24 to 10, against recognizing this act. The concession originally was obtained by Amory and Sons, an American concern, and sub sequently sold to the British interests, reported to include the son of Premier Lloyd George.
 Neither Great Britain nor the Unit ed States recognized the Tinoco gov ernment, but they have recognized the new government. Since extending rec ognition Great Britain. according to advices, has undertaken to enforce the claim, threatening trade retaliation.
 It was said today at the state de- partment that the American govern ment had take9 no action. The posi-, ton of the United States is understood to be that it could not protest against the granting of an oil concession to British interests by Costa Rica while it was demanding equal treatment for citizens of all countries in Mesopota- mia and former enemy possessions foi which mandates have been granted

FOUR CARS FIGURE
 IN AUTO ACCIDENT

A Mrs. Pepper, 704 South First ave- nue, was slightly injured about 10; 3o o'clock last night in a motor car acci- dent at South Central avenue and the railroad track in which four cars were damaged. A Packard car driven by l. G. Quaile was held responsible for the triple collision in the police report, and a charge of reckless driving was filed against Quaile.
 According to witness, Quaile was driving north on Central avenue when his car struck a Ford driven by L.. Holbrook, TOP South First street, in which Mrs. Pepper and her baby were riding. After giving the smaller car a glancing blow the Packard struck two cars parked near the railroad station, before it stopped. l.. W. George, 10l9 South First avenue, was driver of one, and Manuel Vasquez, 5051 1a West Ton to street. was in charge of the other.
 Following the accident, Mrs. Pepper and her baby were rushed to St. Jo- seph's hospital, where it was found the woman had received nothing more serious than cuts while the baby was apparently uninjured. They were taken home.
 All four cars were damaged.
 Police later reported they had been informed by man who owned the Packard until recently that its brakes were not in good working order, and that witnesses declared Quaile was travelling at a fast speed when his car struck the Ford.

 He said that material had been dis covered in cellars of the Spandau ar- senal sufficient to manufacture 5000 field guns. He asked the premier to accept resolution calling for perma nent allied control of the manufacture Of arms and munitions in Germany. The premier said it was impossible to accept the proposal, as such a body was not provided for in the treaty.
 M. Klotz pressed the premier for an answer as to whether or not the Ion don decisions brought the question of reparations back to the treaty of Yer sailles. He answered that obviously since the Paris accord had not been accepted by the Germans, the treaty had not been modified.

 Prohibition officials declined to com ment on the statement in Philadelphia today of former Attorney General Palmer, who said his recent ruling that physicians may prescribe beer might mean beer could be sold over soda fountain counters. Regulations carrying out MT. Palmer's opinion will be left to the next commissioner, said Commissioner Williams.
