in three quarters length seal skin coat
which she has worn on all other oc-
casions. Tilted at a saucy angle on
her black bobbed hair was black

Suddenly she whipped two automat-

nice and there won't be anyone hurt. .
She marched the silent group to the
rear of the store.
At this point the cake eater part
ner, a slim youth, entered. He also
displayed a revolver.
Everything all right, there, swee-
tie?" he called to the girl.
Without shifting her dark eyes
from the victims she answered, Sure
Make it snappy'
The bandit walked behind the coun-

DOHENY WAS BROKE
WHEN 40 YEARS old
THIRD RICHEST MAN IN UNIT
ED STATES HAD EVENTFUL
CAREER. STRUCK OIL.

Who is this man Doheny who "loan-
ed Albert Fall former secretary OF
the interior. the sum of 100000 and
said 1T is no more OF a sacrifice for
me to let a friend have 100000 than
it is for many men to part with $40
or SIS"
Edward L. Doheny is his full name
He is reputed to be the third richest
man in the United States. Only John
D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford have
more money than Doheny.
The astounding thing about Do
heny is that he was broke when he
was 40 years old. Up to that time he
had taught school, rustled cattle and
dug for gold and silver in number
of states in the west, but without sue
cess. 1t looked as if he were to be a
dismal failure in life.
One day he was sitting on the porch
of hotel on the outskirts of Los An
ge1es, Cal. He was broke and bluff
ing" the landlord for his keep.
A negro with decrepit old nag and
a rickety old wagon went by and Do
heny became interested in the dirt
heaped on the wagon. whats that?
he asked the negro.
"Breer," the negro answered. II
was sand soaked with pitch.
"Where does it come from?" asked
Doheny.
Near Westland park
Doheny took a trolley car and went
out to Westland park. There he found
a tract of soil which was soaked with
pitch. Doheny decided then and there
that there was oil underneath that soil
Oil was something new to him. He
had hitherto dug only for gold or sill
yer. but he would now take fling al
oil. 1t looked like pay dirt.
No Money.
Having no money he started to look
up his former partner, Charles Can
field But Garfield had no money. The
two, however, went back to Los An
geles and when they arrived in the
city they had dime between them
and both were hungry.
So the two made a meal on grapes
and then they went out to Westlano
park. By some means or other they
managed to be able to sink well and
they hadn't gone far before oil was
streaming up 1t meant wealth FOL
them-liquid wealth.
That VISA Doheny's start in life. Oh
was soon struck in other parts OF Cal
ifornia, and it wasn't long before he
owned thousands of acres of the bes
oil land in the state.
From California he branched out in
to adjoining states and into Mexico
1t is said he owns 100000 acres o
oil lands in the latter country. 1t was
Doheny who developed the Mexican
oil fields
Today his wealth is computed ii
millions. When he wished to establish
home in Los Angeles he bought al
entire block of homes so as to be abb
to say who his neighbors were to be

as the latter feature of the democratic
situation applies, is that Mr.. McAdoo
has been finally ditched. Additional
disclosures regarding his relations
with Mr.. Doheny are admitted by his
erstwhile' supporters to have further
damaged his chance for winning the
democratic nomination.
This opinion is confirmed by the
attitude of party leaders, who have
practically ceased discussing him. His
elimination, however, has resulted in
one impressive change in the demo-
cratic situation. The number of prob
able entries has grown to all amaz-
ing extent, with Senator Underwood,
of Alabama, Governor Smith of New
York and Senator Ralston OF Indiana
at present monopolizing discussion.
IF the New York convention were
held tomorrow there would be at
least twenty-five candidates for the
democratic nomination. These are as
follows
Senators Underwood, Ralston,
Glass, Bruce, Reed (Mo), Edwards,
Gerry, Copeland, Mr.. McAdoo, Ma

NORTH ALABAMA , MINERAL WEALTH
 IS WITHOUT LIMIT
Reese HutchisOn And As sociates Are Developing
 Holdings At Cherokee

The mineral wealth of north Alabama has hardly been touched. It is doubtful if there is a section in the south that has such variety of mineral deposits. With. the great development that is sure to come to this section, the devel- opment of the mineral resources will not be overlooked.
 Already two companies have been or ganized, one to operate in the sand rock asphalt fields at Margerun, and the other at Cherokee. 15 miles from Muscle Shoals. Reese Hutchinson and asso- ciates of New York, are now developing the properties at Cherokee, building railroads and rendering the property easily accessible. They will install a large plant.
 The following minerals are within reach of this district: A
 Brown iron ore-deposifs situated IS miles from Muscle Shoals large quan- titles.
 Pig iron manufactured in pig iron furnaces, situated at Sheffield.
 Lime rock-9S per cent carbonate of lime unlimited quantities in the heart of the Muscle Shoals district, situated on railroad.

 Lime rock asphalt-Practically un- limited quantities 25 miles from Muscle Shoals. Some material has for years been used very; successfully in the state of Texas. Streets'in the Muscle Shoals district are being paved with this ma. terial. F7
 Oil shale-30 miles from Muscle Shoals; continuous stratas for miles !; material being used in some localities as paint pigment.
 Shale--nine miles from Muscle Shoals in unlimited quantitiess material used for vitrified brick and tiling.
