HIS SALARY WAS 100000
Max w. Friedcll Of Black Panther
Co. Amply Remunerated for serv-
ioes-Faces Charge of Fraud.

Philadelphia, Aug. "a, = Max w
Friedell of Marion, Ind, received an
income of approximately $4,000 as
president of the Black Panther OIL
and Refining Company, although 1t
was not understood he had a stated
salary, st. Clair Walsh, an income tax
expert, testified at the trial of the for
mer official and two others charged
with fraudulent conversion of more
than $1,250,000 of stockholders
funds.
Negotiations were initiated by the
company for the control of the Serv-
ice Oil and Refining company of In
diana, Herbert Asher, New York at
torney, testified. Asher said he went
to Indiana and interviewed oil men
there, but found the volume of oil
being purchased amounted to less
than 70 barrels a day. Counsel for
the stockholders charged Friedell rep
resented the output at 1000 barrels a
day.
In March, 1921, Charles w. Galley,
a vice-president and director of the
company, testified, he was elected a
director of the company, but ex-
planned to Mr.. Friedell that II did
not believe l was fit to be a director
as knew nothing about oil business"
Mr.. Friedell said" Galley asserted,
That's all right, that's the reason
we want you. III teach you all you
have to know in the oil business"
Galley testified Friedell represented
himself as having been connected with
the Standard Oil company for SO
years and pensioned by that organi-
cation.

Secretary Work Approves
OF COOlidge's Reelection

Denver, Colo, Aug. 24.-Hubert
| Work, secretary Of the interior, in a
letter written to a political friend
here and made public, advocates the
nomination of President Coolidge in
1924, and predicts the president s
election will follow.
Secretary Work is the first member
of the cabinet to announce himself
in favor of the presidents nomna-
ton as republican standard bearer
next year.
Now that the change of admins
tration of the government has been
effected, thoughtful men are discuss
ing the future reads the secretary's
| letter.
There seems to be no Disagree
ment among party leaders here in
Washington, nor those who have been
in from outside during the past week,
as to the wisdom of closing up our
ranks behind the new president as
the party candidate. If he will con-
sent, the public already appreciates
his quality and | am sure his election
would follow. ....
He has inherited the Harding or
ganization and policies, and logically
should be supported for the nominal
ton. precisely as his predecessor
would have been had he lived.
Perhaps no man in the United
States is as well qualified by tenn
permanent and experience for the du-
ties of the presidency, upon short
notice, as President Coolidge. He has
been closer to his president than
any previous vice president and is as
intimately advised of our foreign and
domestic relations and the procedure
and hopes of President Harding as
members of the cabinet, with whom
he sat for two years."

STEEL HARD AS ADAMANT
to Have Been Brought to Perfec-
ton by Two Americans.

Chopping cold crowbar into
chunks with an ak and whiting a
steel rod into shavings with a pocket
knife are made simple performances
through a process of steel tempering
that Is credited to two inventors in
the state of Washington. In fact. a
steel ak and pocketknives that had
been tempered by the process are al
legged to have actually been made to
perform these seemingly impossible
featS.
Damascus steel would be Of vastly
inferior quality to this tempered metal
according to the claims put forth on
behalf of 1t. \ The process consists in
the use of certain chemicals In water
or oil in the tempering vessel. 1t is
declared that any kind of tool-from a
blunt hammer head to q keen-edged
razor-can be tempered to a perfec-
ton never before attained. Drills
tempered by this process are said to
have stood the test Of use for 40 days
without sharpening In driving the tun-
mel on the Wasco mine through the
hardest kind of rock.

Father Beret was probably subordi-

the latter appears to have had nomi-

he went to live and labor for a time
