UNCLE SAM VIEWS WAR n OIL

UNCLE SAM VIEWS WAR IN OIL
As DANGEROUS
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3l.-official
WashinEtcn's feeling toward the war
between the Standard Of New York
and the Royal Dutch Shell Oil com
uanies. = somewhat the same as the
United States governments feeling
toward the World war, in Its early
stages
For quite q while the World war
didn't appear to be any skin of OK
nose. In fact we gained by lt-ln
fancy prices from Europe.
Just so with the oil war-cheap
gas for cur flivvers.
Vet nobody with q lick Of sense
could miss seeing. from the first,
that the World war was dangerous,
even to bvstanders- Ditto this oil
xar. In so big a rookusr nobodys
corns are safe.
The Standard and the Royal Dutch
tell conflicting stories, but this much
we know
Both were selling oil in the Orient.
in rentlemanly competition
They sold Russian oil there, be-
cause Of the comparatively short
haul, especially to India
According to the Standard-Sir
Henri Deterding, head Of the Royal
Dutch, tried to hog the Oriental mar
ket BY getting a buying monopoly
from Russia
But Russia wouldn't give IL TO him,
whereupon Sir Eenri got the British
government (the British government
il heavily interested in his company,
despite its Dutchy name) TO break
relations with the Soviet folks. think
ing thus to put the screws on-at the
same time urging the Standard also
to quit buying in Russia, though he
was aiming 60 thimble-rsg the

Grim Tragedy of Early
Days Shown in Finding
of Wonan's Skeleton
0UEHo NOTORIOUS INDIAN OUTLAW AGAIN
ENTERS SCENE IN MYSTERY DISCOVERY

that the outlaw began his rampage
in the Moapa Valley in 1910 killed
an old man at Crescent, stalked to
the Colorado river and murdered
an indian who was supposed to have
told things" about Queho. He
then chossed the river into Ari-
zona and killed a watchman. State
police we're called out and much
time and money spent in futile
attempt to locate the willy slayer.
Many of his cavern abodes were
found-but the owner-never.i
On January 13, 1919 two men
we're found dead six miles north
of Hesse's camp on the Colorado
Queho's work again. January 81,
1919 he was supposed to have taken
the life of a woman at Nelson and
then for a short time, like a desert
phantom, he was felt but seldom
seen. Within a month his worried
indian brothers began to look re-
lieved.
Where's Queho?" the we're ask
ed "Queho, he dead" they said.
How did he die? Somebody kill
him?"
"Queho, he dead" was the lac
onic, but knowing reply.

Grim tragedy, enacted years ago,
but still plainly showing phases Of
a probable drama of love and death,
came to light when the skeletons
of a woman and a man, we're ex-
amined by Dell Robson, Justice Of
the Peace Whipple, ex-ofhcio coro-
ner, Henry Rice, Jr., all of Moapa,
and Undersheriff McCubrey, in the
Muddy Valley Saturday afternoon.
The bones, we're discovered first
by Robson in a cavern on a ledge
located atop a 300 foot precipice
forming one side Of The Mar
rows, six miles below Moapa.
Robson reported the matter to
Sheriff Sam Gay who detailed Nc
Cubrey to investigate.
What transpired in this cavern
can only be left to the imagination
and there enters Quehoa motor
ious renegade indian, outlaw and
murderer, cunning far beyong his
brother Pahutes. The theory has
presented itself that Queho stole
a white woman and was tracked to
his mountain lair by the girls
suitor. The white people were both
killed, and abandoned in the cav
ern by the Indian.
1t is, entirely probable that this
was the first outrage committed
by Queho, as it will be remember
ed by older residents of this section

MALLEY-COLE
APPEAL STARTED

A bill of exceptions containing
118 assignments of alleged errors
was filed in the Ormsby county
court last Tuesday by P. A. McCar-
ran, attorney for Ed Malley and
George Cole, convicted last Sep
tember of the misappropriation Of
funds from the state treasury.
The bill of exceptions forms the
basis for an appeal to the SUI
preme court in the case and will
be supported by a brief to be
filed within thirty days. The tran
script Of the testimony in the
trial containing over three thou
sand typewriter pages was also
The state will file an answer to

the brief and then aclosing brief
by the appellants in the case will
be filed before it is argued before
the supreme court.
In the briefs and arguments be-
fore the court the defense will con-
tend that the verdict of the jury
in the case was not supported by
the evidence and that it has
never been shown that there was q
shortage in the funds of the state
treasury McCarran will also con-
tend that the representatives Of
the estate, in discussing the matter

sion of the legislature and the
board of compromise that ad-
justed the claim of the state
against the Carson Valley Bank.
said that the shortage was in
bank and not in the state trea-
sury.
1t will probably be three months
before the case comes before the
supreme court for argument.

BY c. P. Squires

by I. L. SQuncS
AGE Washington Correspondent
Remembering the suggestion OF
my friend Curtis D. Wilbur, Sec
retary of the Navy, that he would
be glad to give me a letter which
would enable me to see the Wash
ington Navy Yard and "See it
right" I went down to the Navy
Department the other day and
called on the Secretary. He at once
dictated letter of introduction
of Congressman Arentz, George
Malone and myself to Admiral
Arthur L. Willard. Commandant
of the Navy Yard.
Whole Show
That afternoon we drove down
to the yard in Sans car and at
the gate submitted our credentials
for admittance. The signature OF
the Secretary of course placed the
whole show at our disposal. An
officer was assigned to conduct us
to the Admiral and we found him
directing the planting of a gar
den at the Commandant's residence.
The, splendid courtesy of naval
officer is something hard to de-
scribe, but it is very tangible
thing when experienced. The Ad-
miral insisted on our calling on
him at his residence and we were
pleased to do so. The official re-
sidence is a handsome house with
in the yard and it is full OF things
of interest pertaining to naval
life. But the most interesting OF
all was Mrs willard, a charming
lady, who entertained us delight
fully
The house, a very fine and dig
nified old place, was built In lSOO'
the Admiral told us. 1t was cap
tured by the British in 1914, but
for some reason was not destroyed
as were the Capitol and White
House and other government
buildings.
All Admiral
But the Admirable is every
inch what the word conjureS to
our imagination-a splendid flgure
of a man, courteous, keen, polished,
decisive and outstanding. The priv
ilege of meeting such a one was
alone amply sufficient to repay
for the trouble of our visit.
After visiting for some time, the
Admiral turned us over to an
officer, with instructions that we
be shown the whole works after

guns of the battle ships They
are tremendously large and gave
me the idea that building loco
motives would be merely child'S
play in comparison.
Make Their Steel
The next building was the
foudary where they make the
steel for all purposes and forge it
into a myriad of shapes under
the great hammers. The workmen
here seemed wonderfully expert
at taking a square steel ingot and
fashioning it into some curious
shape with great accuracy under
the rapid blows of the steam ham
mer.
The big gun shop was the next
we visited. Here they are turn
ing out the 16-inch guns and we
were shown the whole process Of
forging, inserting the inner tube,
boring and rifling and shrinking
on the outer jackets. We saw the
great pits, los feet deep into which
the guns are lowered in a ver-
tical position and heated by cleo
trical heat for the shrinking pro-
cesseS. The overhead cranes handle
230 tons. And these 16-inch guns
are blythe 8-inch ones look like
toys beside them.
Visit The Mayflower
We saw other things of which
it would be tiresome to read per-
haps. But one of the interesting
incidents was our visit TO the
Presidential Yacht Mayflower.
This is really a naval vessel which
since the era of Roosevelt, has
been assigned to the use of the
President whenever he wishes to
seek solitude on the Potomac over
the week end.
The vessel was built in Glas-
COW, Scotland 1897, as a yacht
for the wealthy Goelet. 1t was
taken over by the government
during the war with Spain in
1898 and used as a gunboat and
one of her officers told us. For
short time she was used as
flagship by Admiral Dewey. In
one of the cabins President
Roosevelt first brought together
the delegates who framed the
treaty of Portsmouth between
Russia and Japan in 1905.
Handsome Craft
The Mayflower is a trim. hand

2s8 feet in length, carrying a

receiving our pledge that certain
things to which our attention
would be called were not to be
published or made public in any
way, and we took our car and
started out for an afternoon of
sightseeing
Great Works
The name Navy Yard" had
never given me the idea Of works
on such a great scale as those here
It is city in itself, los acres
closely covered by great shops with
a network OF railroad tracks be-
tween the buildings. Here are en-
ployed at present $500 civilian en-
ployeeS, all experts, many Of them
hereditary employees who learn
ed their craft from their fathers.
There were $4,000 employed dur
ing the war we we're told. There
are of course a considerable force
of Naval officers, the navy con-
tingent numbering about 1000.
The first shop we visited was the
cartridge case shop. We saw the
manner in which they make the
cartridge shells, thousands of them,
for the 6-inch guns, the machines
taking a solid disk of copper and
drawing it through series of
processes into a completed shell
six inches in diameter and about
80 inches long, to novice quite a
wonderful thing.
Tetsing Basin
The next building housed the
model testing basin, about 500 feet
long. Before a new ship is built
small model is made to scale,
and in this testing basin COM
plete and accurate record is made
of Just what will be the tonnage,
resistance, load capacity, speed,
etc., of the full sized ship when
completed. They told us that this
was devised by our naval officers
and later adopted by other nations.
We next visited the old gun
shop devoted now to the making
of the 8-inch guns for our war
vessels. When we say "8-inch gun,
1t does not sound so large-but
believe me they are pretty babies
and seem plenty large enough
when one sees them lying side
by side in rows waiting to be
picked up and mounted on some
new cruiser
We next visited the turret shop
where they were assembling the
monster turrets to house the big
