OIL UNDER GROUND
 BELONGS TO NO ONE
Judge Rules That Owner Of an offset We'll Can
 Pump It

San Antonio, Tex, June { tAP)- Oil in the ground is the property or no one, not even the person un- der whose land it lies, according to a decision of the fourth court of civic appeals. Furthermore the owner of an offset well has the right to use artificial means to in- duce a flow in his well. even to the extent of draining all the oil from under adjoining tracts and stopping production of pioneer wells, which may be nearby, it was held.
 The ruling was made yesterday in reversing a judgment of the dis trict court of Tarrant county, on the case of the Texas Pacific Coal and Oil company. against the Com anche Duke Oil company. The lower court had found for the Texas Pacific company.
 Tt is well settled that oil when its fugitive nature. ceaselessly mov- ing about in the bowels of the earth can never be the subject of sale or barter or ownership until brought tc the surface and reduced to phys ical possession" the court held.

NEW PROSECUTOR FOR STAMFORD
Former Assistant Is Advanced. .> Changes Political

Stamford, June ( (AP)--Judge Samuel Young Of the city court to- day named Max spelke, the assistant prosecutor, as prosecutor, dropping Senator Matthew Kenealy. who had held the office since 1918. Edward O. Jansen was named assistant pros ccutor and Charles E. Moore clerk, the latter succeeding Justus J. Fen pcW,
 Ii. was said in local republican cir cics that the changes were unex- pected and that 1t marked the ap- of men who were close to the state organization and the drop ping of men who were active in the local organization.
 The surprise was In the fact that it was understood here that Judge Young's election went through the senate because of an understanding that he would not replace Senator Kcnealy with House Clerk Daniel B. Hickey. It was said that effort was made today to ascertain from Judge Young his reason for not reappoint- ins Senator Kenealy and the only in- formation was that there was no understanding as to the senator's re- appointment. The judge said he would not make formal statement, but that he knew of no understand ing or agreement to reappoint Sem ator Kenealy and reports that there was such were merely bluff"
 The contest over the appointment of Judge Young in both the house and senate, following the committee hearing, was one Of the outstanding incidents or the legislative session .iiisf clhsed

HUMBLE FUNERAL FOR MARSHALL
Former VicePTSident Laid at
 Rest Today

Indianapolis, June {. (AP)-- Humble he was in life, so was Thomas R. Marshall today in death. The body of the nations wartime vice. president and Indiana's 27th governor might have fittingly lain in state In the capitol building where once he held high office. Instead it rested In his quaint, ola home here awaiting the simple services which were held for him at. 10 d. m. today.
 The Scottish Rite. which Mir. Marshall was an honored member, conducted the funeral ceremonies which were attended only by mem- bers of the Masonic order, immedi- ate relatives and few intimate friends of the Marshall. family. The casket was taken to Crown Hill cem- etery, there to be placed in a re- ceiving vault and held until Mrs. Marshall determines upon its final resting place.
 No ponp or pageantry marked the obsequies, Mrs. Marshall having ex- pressed the wish that the passing be attended by the simplicity so char acteristic of her husband.
 This morning the casket rested amid a bank of floral tributes bear ing notables names-among them President and Mrs. Coolidge, General John J. Pershing, and, Justice Rey- holds Of the supreme court. There were also the offerings of others, many being from old friends who had never reached high position but who knew him from his plain ex- prcssion that had never outgrown their interests and was yet sympa- thetic with their tributations.
 The body of MT. Marshall came back 10 his home yesterday, being returned from Washington, where he died Monday, as he peacefully read from book that he apparently never. grew tired of perusing-the Bible. An escort of state officials and Masonic members accompanied it through the streets lined with silent throngs that stood with barred heads.

(Cotninued from First Page)

in an observatory at Passy, as cap- tain of special corps. he commits stoned other astronomers to assist him in study. the Prussian troops banked around Paris.
 All overtures for public office after the war were refused by Flam- marion. He devoted himself to studying double and multiple stars, their coiors: and proper motions and sun spots, the branches of the science in which he specialized.
 Most Of his great achievements during the latter part Of his life were accomplished in his observa- tory at historic Juvisy. It was called the halfway house Of kings and courtiers." Here Napoleon had received the news Of the fall of Paris and from here he departed to Tontainebleu to bid adieu to his army, in 1874. The estate was gift to Flammarion from an admirer, NJ. Meret.
 Flanmarion will be remembered for his many books. written in poetic and philosophic vein While great secrets of the universe are therein disclosed. they are clothed in language that is as entertaining as novel. It is on this that his popular fame rests.
 Flammarion himself had said: within the last quarter of 8 cen fury our sublime science has been wholly transformed. Instead of watching inert masses in motion through the void of space, the study of the evolutions of the stars and life has taken its place. It, Is a sig nal advance over the old school, and may be looked upon as likely to prove the grandest feature of astro- homie science ini the near future.
