'FEUD IS RESPONSIBLE

MER ROUGE, La, Dee. 28.-With
two lives sacrificed on the altar of
terrorism, n feud between"reformers
and lawless elements in Moorehouse
parish attracted national attention
today.
The fatal fcud has centered about
DIR. B. NJ. McKoin, former mayor
under arrest in Baltimore, charged
with the murders, federal agents
declared McKoin s fight began with
his election as mayor and eliminated
in outlaw characters terrorized him
until We fled the community Last

same, is inhabited by the Kurdi,
who claim allegiance to Turkey.
This region is one of the richest
oil territories of the world, and it
is believed that once explored, it
will yield q production equalling or
possibly surprising the output of
the Mexican fields.
The richest among the numerous
fields of the region is at Gayara,
Immediately south of the city of
Mosul, but there is quite a series of
exceptionally abundant oil wells in
the vicinity.
The British claim to the oil fields
is based upon negotiations which
took place before the world war be-
tween the Turkish government and
the Turkish Petroleum Company, 81
British controlled concern. The
Turks refer to the British claims de-
claring that those conversations had
led to no agreement of any descrip-
tion because the outbreak of the
war interrupted the conversations
before any concession had been
granted. This statement has so far
not been disproved by the British.
