Price, pastor of the Hueytown Baptist church, Friday afternoon re turned to his home at 1926 Second ave nue, and upon entering the front room discovered his wife dead in chair. Rev. Price had shortly before this been at work on his car in front of the house and had noticed his wife reclining in a chair apparently asleep.

 Upon entering the room, where his wife was seated, he called to her and receiving no response investigated, only to find that she had succumbed to heart attack.

|SECRET.RECORDS ARE WITHHELD
 IN DOHENY CASE
Wilbur And. Hughes Re-
 fuse To Divulge Navy Plans

LOS ANGELES, Nov. "A con- munication from Secretary of the Navy Wilbur stating he is not at liberty to furnish the court certain confidential papers subpoenaed by the defense was submitted today by the defense in clos ing it's case in the suit to cancel leases and contracts held by the Pan-American Petroleum and Transport company in the Elk Hills naval oil reserve.
 The communication was an answer to subpoena served upon the sec retary to procure certan records and se- cret plans of the navy department to be used in evidence in the suit. Sec retary Wilbur's letter in part said: .- "Would Be Prejudiciar'
 "All aforesaid papers heinz found among the official files and records of the department of the navy are of a confidential nature, containing matters of importance to the nation, the dis closure of which would in his (Wil- bur's) opinion be injurious to the public interest and would prove prejudicial to the government"
 A concurring opinion from Secretary Hughes also was presented which in part stated: II concur in the view of the secretary of the navy that the. dis closure of the contents of the papers would be incompatible with the public interest" -
 A letter from E. L. Doheny, head of the Pan American interests, to President Coolidge dated March 8, 1924, was previously presented by defense counsel. The letter stated his plan to continue construction of the Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, fuel oil storage base, irrespective of whether, during the pendency of the suit which I under stand is to be brought to test the le- gality of the contracts, the officers of the United States do or do not issue to the company vouchers for the work done. The company has undertaken to do this upon my personal guarantee that it will be saved from any possible loss due to the continuance of this work"
 Takes Pay In Oil
 Doheny in this communication, stated that the reason for his company un- dertaking this work at cost without profit was because T personally had been apprised of the necessity for this naval fuel oil supply station in con- nection with the navy's plan for defense of our west coast and had promised that our company would submit to do the work and take it's pay in crude oil"
 According to Doheny's letter the orig inal project at Pearl Harbor for the storage of 100000 barrels of fuel oil has been completed and oil is in the tanks.
 The additional project Comprising nearly three million barrels is nearing completion. Following completion of the defense case, government counsel announced that two witnesses in rebut- tai would be called Court was ad- journed until next Wednesday.
