who held up and killed Richard
Tesmer, As, an insurance adjuster
at his home here last midnight, was
hunted throughout Chicago and ad-
iacent towns by hundreds of police

dressed, was accompanied by q
young man of the "cake eater"
type. The couple accostcd Tesmer
and his wife as the latter drove into
their garage after an automobile
ride.
Hands up; keep still, we want
your money! ordered the girl. She
covered" Mr.. and Mrs. Tesmer
while her companion searched the
victims.
Mrs. Tesmer became hysterical
when the "flapper bandit de-
manded her wedding ring.
Tesmer started toward his wife,
evidently to comfort her. The girl
shot without warning. he died
few minutes later. The robbers
fled.
The shooting was less than block
from the home of Mayor Dever.

NEW FISH, GAME
LAWS EFFECTIVE
ON AUGUST 17TH

After every session of the iegis-
lature hunters and anglers find
themselves in serious trouble owing
TO the fact that they have not Sc
cured correct information regard
ing the new laws passed. New fish
and game laws, passed by the leg
islature and signed by the Cover
nor, do not go into effect until 80
days after the close of the legisla-
ture.
AS consequence, present laws
will be enforced all during the SUM
mer. The fact that the limit on
trout has been raised to 35, will
not in the least affect conditions
during the greater part of this
summer when the old limit Law is
still an effect. Anglers will be
able TO take 35 trout only after
the 18th day of August.

So Much Oil in So. California That
Wells Are Being Choked Down
Until Facilities Are Improved
BY United Press Leased Wire

Los ANGELES, June 5.-Addi-
tional success in the attempt to
bring Southern California's flow of
black gold' under control, was
reported during the past week. A
steady "pinching in'' process by
which the flow of wells is being
materially reduced, has been going
on for the past three weeks.
Despite the fact that Is new wells
were brought in last week, IL of
them in the three high production
fields, the total production was on
ly reported at q 500 barrels a day.
During the previous week Is wells
were brought in with a flow of 72,-
800 barrels a week. The wells
brought in this week were choked
down from the very start. -Four
wells were brought in at Santa Fe
Springs, the total production being
held down to 1900 barrels.
1t begins to look as if storage
tanks, pipe lines, and tankers
would be able to take care of the
peak of production which is expect
ed during the coming two months,
when dozens of big producers are
expected to come in on proven ter
ritory in the three big fields.
100000 Barrels Daily
The daily average out put for the
last week only showed a total of
100000 barrels, an increase of To-
00obarrels a day over the previous
week.
Had not the "pinching in meas
ures been taken production would
certainly have been close to 9o0,-
600, oil experts declare, which
amount could not possibly be car
ed for by existing facilities.
1t is hoped TO keep production
ground s50,0oo barrels a day by
August /, although it is probable
this figure will be exceeded some
what. Thirteen new wells were
spudded in during the past week,
and several deepening jobs at San
ia Fe Springs and Huntington
Beach started.
Although many companies are re
ported temporarily holding up drill
ing operations on their proven leas
es, until the peak is passed, If was
reported from Long Beach that the
Shell company which holds more
proven acreage in that field than
all the other large companies put to-
gether, is planning a series of IL
new wells.

OF course, Peter said he would.
The twelve babies were scattered
about busily scratching in the leaves
and hunting for worms and insects.
Mrs. Grouse watched them for a mo-
ment or two with eyes that fairly
sparkled with pride and love. Then
she uttered a sharp but low note
OF warning. 1t meant. There Is
danger! Hide instantly" At the
same time Mrs. Grouse acted for all
the world as if she really had heard
or seen something that made her
suspicious. For a moment it actual

sure that she was only pretending,
and then he looked to see what the
babies were doing.
Well, 1 never." exclaimed Peter,

mingling of astonishment and unbe-
lief that Mrs. Grouse actually
chuckled. You see. those twelve live
ly babies. who only a moment be-
fore had been running about this

as quickly as If the ground had
