FAVOR MEXICAN WOMEN

Publisher Declares German and
Scandinavians Also Suitable
Warns Against Americans

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
TOXIC. September 1s-The most
desira bic foreign women in the United
States for the Japanese to marry are
Mexicans, ]. Arima, publisher of the
Hokubei Jill, japanese daily Of Seat
tie, was quoted as saying in an inter-
view upon his arrival in Yokohama.
Mexican women have many of the
similarities of the Japanese women and
they are beautiful Mr.. Arina said.
German and Scandinavian marriages
also have proved successful with the
Japanese. but the women of these ma
tionaIities are not numerous.
THE Japanese in the United States
have two alternatives--to remain un-
ma arl.ied forever. or to return to Japan.
One-third of the Japanese in the
United States are still unmarried.
American women do not care to marry
japanese and even If they marry Jap
anese, happiness results in few cases,
as divorce is prevalent even among the
Americans themselves"

WOMAN CREMATED
ON PINE LOG PYRE
Charred Body Found in
Swamp in Louisiana-Gas-

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WINNSBORO, La, October 10
The fastnesses of the Tensas swamp
today held the secret of what may
have been a modern auto -da-fe. with
a young white woman as the victim,
while armed men combed its recesses
for clue to explain the finding OF
the charred body on a pine log pyre.
identification Of the body, found
Saturday night by a negro. who
feared to notify the parish authorities
lest he be implicated. was practically
impossible. II had been divested of
clothing and was so badly burned that
Coroner ]. D. Rogers could not say
whether it had been cremated before
or after the woman's death.
Unmarked feminine apparel of good
quality, found in a suitcase near the
pyre, and white gold ring on the
finger of the corpse were the threads
by which identification was hoped to
be made. a bucket which apparently
had contained gasoline indicated that
every effort had been made to make
cremation complete.
Although the woman may have
been slain and her body burned to
cover the crime. the authorities point
out that the scene of the act was at
such a remote point in the swamp.
which is IL miles from here, that even
had she not been gagged it was pos
sible for her to have been burned
alive without her screams being
heard.

NAVY T0PR0TECT
EMPTY OIL TANKS
Pearl Harbor Containers
Built by Doheny to Be
Coated Inside.

The Navy Department plans to
put on the interior of the empty oil
tanks built at Pearl Harbor for the
Government by E. L. Doheny under
the contested contract for removal of
royalty oil from the Elk Hills Re-
serve in California.
Special Government counsel in the
oil cases advised against such a step
last Summer, with the result that
the Navy Department took no action
to prevent further corrosion of the
tanks but officials explained today
they now had ruled that. in view of
the recent decision of the Federal Dis
trict Court at Los Angeles in the Elk
Hills Reserve case, this action could
he taken without prejudice to the
Governments course in the litigation
Plans for coating the interiors with
oil are being taken up by the depart
ment with officers at San Francisco
and Honolulu. and orders to proceed
with the work are expected soon.
There are II of these empty tanks
at Pearl Harhor, which were built to
receive royalty oil. while 81 others
constructed by Doheny. under an
earlier contract, have long since been
filled. 1t Is proposed to pump oil from
the latter into the empty tanks and
then drain them, leaving a thin coat
ing of oil on the surface to prevent
further rusting while the litigation
is proceeding in the Federal courts.
Government counsel in the oil cases
were said to have based their latest
ruling OH the finding of the Los Ange-
les court that the tanks. although
built as part of a contract that was
void, were now legally held by the
Government and Doheny, should be
reimbursed for the expense of their
construction.

81 GAS AND OIL FIRMS
ARE UP ON CHARGES
Violation of Antitrust Law Al
legged Against Companies, Stand
ard Corporations Included.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 13.-TIearings
were started yesterday before Charles
Martindale. master in chancery. In
a suit instituted by the Government
in the Federal Court for Northern
Illinois charging 81 gasoline and oil
companies with violation of the anti
trust act.
The four principal defendant com.
panies are the Standard Oil Co. of 1lli-
nois, Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey,
the Gasoline Products Co. and the
Texas Co. .
1t Is charged that these four COM
panies imposed upon the other defend
ant companies royalties of one-half to
1Is cents a gallon for the use of Ger
tain patents. and that they also re-
strained these companies from pro-
ducing more than certain quantities
of gasoline. The royalty costs, it is
claimed, were passed on to the con-
sumner.
Prof. w. H. Mckee of Columbia
University yesterday testified that the
patents under which the defendant
companies extract gasoline from crude
oil by the cracking process are
either invalid or so narrow in scope as
not to justify the contracts made for
their use.
The Government alleges that the
patents involve methods which, in all
substantial respects, had been known
and used prior to the issuance of the
patterns. Injunctions restraining the
companies from paying or collecting
