WORK SCORES
 LOSS OF OIL
Interior Secretary Says Nations Supply Must
 Be Conserved

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-The greatest problem facing the United States in 1925 is the oil situation, according to Hubert Work, secretary of the interior, here visiting his daughter, Mrs. w. w. Bissell, of Evanston.
 "JJnless new fields are discovered and large new wells drilled the petroleum supply of the United States will be gone in twelve years," Mir. Work said.
 We have floods of oil now, enormous production, more than 100000 barrels a day. But how long will it last? When ever a new field Is brought in, the own CTS rush to drill it up. Oil is fugitive. Each well takes oil from across the line and a lease, if not too large, can De drained by wells all around It. That is one of the reasons for the wild and costly drilling which uses up the oil
 @The great problem is to find way to stop wasteful drilling; to hold the storage in the ground until needed Storing oil above ground is costly. Much is lost by evaporation. There IS Tn, terest to pay on the investment Tn oil and steel tanks.
 "Oil from public lands, exclusive oi the naval reserves, totaled. 4o,ooo'uoG barrels last year. Government ana state shared in this oil: royalties amounted to S,00O,O00 barrels, worth 12,OO0,OOO. The cost of supervising the recovery of this oil to the govern ment was about $250,000."

ORLEANS PUGILIST'
 HELD IN KILLNG|
Paul Barrere Stays Greek Waiter To Avenge
 Pals Death

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 26.-Ysiloi Williamson, A, was shot and killed to. day as he was waiting on customers in a restaurant in the French quarter. Paul Barrere, 28, known in the prize ring as Battling Barrere" was charged with the murder.
 Witnesses declare Barrere, with a re. volver in his hand and his bulldog at his heels, entered the restaurant shout ing: "I'm a friend of Chaney's. They killed him, I'll get revenge" Then he fired three times. One bullet shattered mirror but the other two dropped the waiter.
 As he departed from the restaurant, onlookers said Barrere yelled: "Where are the other Greeks? I'm going to kill all of them" s.
 Young Clancy" the ring name for Christian Burkhardt, 25, was killed a year ago by Alexander Kostakis, 23, a crippled waiter in front of . cafe a block from the scene of today's shoot ing. Kostakis has never been brought to trial. Officers believe it was the desire to take the law in his own hands and avenge the death of his pal that led Barrere to the restaurant in search of Kostakis.
 Barrere fought with success in the featherweight division few years ago. At one time he was in line for a cham pionship match with Johnny Kilbane and towards this end he was matched with Matt Brock, title contender. Brock floored Barrere and his hopes, and the southpaw was never given further consideration. in national pugi- listic circles although he has been on the card considerably in the south.
