ROYALTY OFFERS
HINTS OF HIGH
PRESSURE STYLE


Oil royalty statesmen have, been
reaching out for buyers in the mail
recently. according to a person who has
received some of their literature and
has had some correspondence with an
advertising company. That it might
be well for those who get such liter
ature, before they send their money
to pay for the goods offered to make
some inquiry is indicated by letter
which was received recently by a local
resident.
II appears tnat the original litera-
ture carried all the flamboyant fig
ures and promises usually found in
such efforts and among other items
was the statement that particular
piece had been earning from produc-
ing wells an amount that made the
royalty pay GA per cent annually. That
looked so much like cheese on mouse
trap that the one getting the letter
wrote an apparently harmless inquiry
to the office of the company asking
what was meant by that statement,
the purpose being to get.sa definite
statement as to whether this royalty
was sold on the promise that it was
returning 81 per cent. Immediately
there came back q letter which with
drew the right that the original letter
had promised to the individual of saw
ing a definite strip of royalty for him,
the latest letter starting with this
statement:
"It takes SO long for mail to go to
and from - it is difficult Tor
person to keep abreast of the situa-.
ton and we are very sorry to state we
are compelled to give you notice OF
cancellation Of the opportunity which
was afforded you to secure some OF the
royalty. Only recently
well rated at 1000 barrels per day
initial was completed 900 feet from
the east line of the ----y= --y7- - farm. AS
a result of the completion there was
a tremendous demand for royalty I'm
less you were to wire Immediately it
would be impossible to include you in
the number of those who receive --
royalty"
The selling office apparently was not
willing, to take chance at making
any definite statements about its goods
through the mail But in covering
the question the individual answered
aDOuC CTle earning power O1 CIle royalty,
they also showed a deft ability at
handling their facts so as not to be
in danger of explaining to the govern
ment later. "The statement that this
royalty is worth earning at the rate
Of indicates the annual earning rate"
was the way that was answered.
The one who received the letter did
not buy the royalty but there was a
firm conviction resulting from the let
ter of inquiry, that the royalty never
was in the demand the seller claimed
and that it was merely a high pressure
method of getting some of the royalty
shares worked out to an unsuspecting
lot of buyers that the statements were
used In fact the one who received
the letter later gained information
from other sources believed reliable
that there never was a 500-barrel well
in five miles of the land covered by
the royalty, to say nothing Of 1000
barrel well in 22O feet. This individual
warns people who get the royalty lit
erature to investigate before buying.

DEATH PENAL TY
VIEWS GIVEN
Nv LANES l.. KILGALLEN

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-lnter-
views today with newspaper men
who were official witnesses at the
electrocution of Ruth Snyder and
Henry Judd Gray revealed that a
majority of them are unalterably
onnosed to capital punishment.
Several of the twenty reporters
and special writer's who saw the
condemned couple die in the cleo
tric chair changed the views they
had previously entertained. Some
az them. however, adhere to their
opinion that capital punishment is
the hest deterrent of crime.
Some of the opinions expressed
follow:
'tYou only have to see 1t to be
against it.
Dick Williams. of the New York
evening Journal. THAT sight of
Mrs. snyder and Gray being
brought into that room was one
of the most horrible things in the
history of the. civilized world.

American and Universal Service. de-
clared he is absolutely against
capital punishment except in the
case of kidnapers, who deserve
lynching."

that capital punishment was all

ENSIGN CALLED
SELF-SLA|N

Officials of Anne Arundel county
today are convinced that Ensign

dead in patch of woods near
Odenton. Md. killed himself while
on parole from st. Elizabeth's Hos.

Investigation by Sheriff Michael
]. Carter of Annapolis has failed
to bring to light anything that
would tend to indicate otherwise.
he declared. After viewing the
body a coroner's jury rendered
verdict of suicide shortly after the
body was found Sunday.
The fact that the rifle which had
caused Miller's death was found
some distance from the body, and
that the underbrush nearby was
trampled considerably, led Sheriff
Carter to investigate further the
possibility of a second party having
been involved. Officials are now
convinced that the bullet did not
kill Miller instantly.
A naval board of inquiry yester-
day Investigated the death of Miller
and made its report to Secretary
of the Navy Wilbur. The findings
have not yet been given out. Naval
Academy officials yesterday also be-
gan a probe of their own into the
affair.
Miller's home was in Bay City,
Mich. He graduated from the
United States Naval Academy class
of 1925. A note was found in his
room to his brother asking that his
Naval Academy class pin land

In his pocket. when found. was d
card asking that his father, DR..
