that he had committed suicide. His
mother the wife of Major General
Adelbert Cronkhite, then in France,
refused to believe he ended his life

of Captain Robert Rosenbluth. Ac-
cording to Pothier he was ordered
by Rosenbluth to accidentally

Water Reported Shut OF

asha have been doing great deal
of sleuthing around the Gladys Belle
of late and every known means has
been employed to get the actual
status of the test definitely de-
termined
Figures on the basis that no report
ON an oil test is absolutely accurate
except the record of the pipe line
runs, of which there have, of course,
been none in this case, the follow
ing is given as the most definite
piece of information yet forthcom-
ing with reference to the Gladys
Belle. Some of this information has
been checked up as . correct, while
other parts Of it cannot be classed
until the completion Of the work
verifies or disproves the reports.
The substance, OF these reports
are: At about also feet they set the
eight and a quarter inch casing,
shutting the water off. Subsequently
they drilled to depth of around
2,75O feet without striking an oil
gas or water sand. Last Thursday
night, so the report goes, they went
back into the hole and drilled II
feet this work resulting in the pick
ing up of an oil sand, light gray ir
color and said to be of good quauity
Into this sand they drilled two feet
it is said, and after another tes
of the formation, string OF pip'
was set covering the open hole.
If these reports be true, it seem
there is nothing remaining to b
done but for the crew to drill int
this sand and develop it, figuring O
the basis that the water was entirel
shut off by setting the eight and
quarter inch pipe. When this will b
done, or whether or not this wi
be the next procedure of the con
pany, is not known, Anything ma
be expected to happen.

The fabric, woven from the numer-

ton of many conservative oil fans

that would in any way cause sound
business judgment to decide on the
purchase of acreage in that section
as "sure thing or in fact as
anything but a pure gamble. Despite
this fact, such acreage is changing
hands around the Gladys Belle and
the English tests. Acreage that last
week sold for $50 an acre has
jumped to $3.50. One man sold a
block of acreage at 81 an acre and
yesterday offered the purchaser $50
for the same block.
The reports concerning the Gladys
Belle are getting, in way more
stable. That is,these reports are less
conflicting than they have been at
any time since the excitement
started. 1t is being generally report
ed now that the Gladys Belle has a
sand at 2,763 feet.

SCIENTISTS FIND HAWAII

SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 25.-That
the Hawaiian Islands at some pre.
historic period were much larger and
extended much nearer to Australia
than they do now is the belief Of DR..
D. II. Campbell, who is visiting Prof.
Lawson. Of Sydney University, for.
mer student under DIR. Campbell at
Leland Standard, Jr., University, Cali
fornia.
DR.. Campbell says the similarity be-
tween some Australian plants and
those Of Hawaii indicates that at one
time there must have been much
larger land formations In the Pacific,
since America, which now is closer to
Hawaii than to Australia. shows no
such botanical similarities.
