WILBUR MAKES
MANY CHANGES
Interior Department Shake
up Startling to Official
Washington
BY JAMES L. WEST
ASSOCIATED Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, March 13.-(P)-
Far reaching changes in the poll
cies and operations Of the interior
department are being effected un-
der the Hoover administration
with a rapidity which has startled
official Washington.
Although DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur
has been in charge Of the depart
ment only a week, a new major
policy, that. Of the complete con-
servation Of government oil in the
ground, has been adopted and a
series of changes made in admins
trative officers with several more
to follow in the near future.
Joseph M. Dixon, former COVER
nor of Montana, has succeeded E.
c. Finney, as chief assistant to the
secretary; Mr. Finney has replaced
Ernest 0. Patterson as solicitor,
and three bureau chiefs r to be
deposed as soon as their successors
can be found. They are Charles
II. Burke, in charge of Indian af-
fairs; Winfield Scott, commissioner
of pensions, and William Spry,
commissioner of the general land
office, who has been in ill-health
for months.
While the interior department
has been under general fire in
congress for a number Of years,
friends of DR.. Wilbur assert the
changes in policies he is inaugu-
rating are more the result Of his
own studies of the whole field of
activities of the department than
of any assaults that have been
made from the outside.

democrat, whose prosecution of the
naval oil lease Investigations has

ASA G. GAMBLER
dies AT Home
Coca Cola King Succumbs
To Illness Of 2 Years;
Mourned In Atlanta

ATLANTA, Ga, March 13.-(P
Atlanta today mourned Asa G..
Gambler, a former drug clerk in a
country pharmacy, whose faith IN
a soft drink formula brought him
millions in the manufacture OF
Coca Cola. The 78-year-old cap
italiSt, civic leader and philapth-
ropist died late yesterday after an
illness of more than two years.
The story of Mr.. Gamblers rise
is a story of the romance Of
American business. AS the pro-
prietor of an Atlanta drug store,
more than forty years ago. he pur-
chased the formula for Coca Cola
for a reported price of $500, and in
1918 sold his interest in the i'm
mense Coca Cola manufacturing
company for S25, 000, 900.
He was married, while still a
pharmacist, to Miss Lucy Howard
Of Atlanta, who died in 1919. Soon
thereafter he was sued for $780,
900 damages in a breach Of promise
action by Mrs. Onezima Debouchel
Of New Orleans, but won the YER
dict after a lengthy trial. In 1923
he married the former Mrs. Mary
Little Reagan of Atlanta, who sur
wives him.
Mr.. Chambers path to ucces
was not without its obstacles. He
was ten years old when the Civil
war began. The family farm was
near the path Of desolation spread
by Sherman's march through Geor-
gia and when the war had ended
the farm was stripped of negroes,
stock and provisions. He did his
share of the work of retaining
the land, at the same time attend
ing the public schools. This he sup
plemented by the study of phar-
macy and when he was 81 went to
Atlanta, Ga, with a capital of $3.50.
Going to work in a drug store he
remained until November 1873,
when his father died and he re-
turned to the family farm to take
charge Of it.
When conditions at the farm
we're such as to enable him to do
so he returned to Atlanta and in
1873 made his first start in bus
mess, forming a partnership with
the late N. B. Hallman in the drug
business. After four years he pur-
chased his partners interest and
conducted the business alone for
six years.
Started Small
In April, 1888, Mr.. Gambler first
became connected with the manu-
facture Of Coca Cola and three
years later became the sole own
er Of the business. Having con-
fidence in its future he staked his
fortune in it and devoted all his
time to it. His first factory was
a small shed and he personally
stirred the kettle in which the
syrup vas manufactured. The first
year the sales amounted to only
500 gallons.
Mr.. Gambler organized the Coca
Cola company Of Georgia Febru-
airy p, 1892, and continued as its
active head until 1911, when he
was succeeded his son, Charles
Howard Chandler.
In addition to his gifts to char
ity, which aggregated several mil
lion dollars. Mr.. Gamblers life was
characterized by mere in
stances of practical altruism-acts
which in their inception appeared
like tossing away money for the
benefit of the public. During the

Although so compactly built, she had

short enough to expose a very pretty

Another beautiful woman would

formally ugly, and so devilishly comical,
that he could not remove his eyes from
her grotesque little face. He could not
help remarking that her smile was
pleasing if not pretty, and her teeth
white as porcelain; that there was a
strong. good-ndtured originality about
her face and that her uncouthness was

Birds Know Guns Range.

It. is pretty well agreed among hunt
ers and woodsmen that many birds
and animals have a well defined idea
Of the range of a gun. There is a
Stevenson story of the Kootenay ram
which was followed by persistent
hunter for many weeks before the latter
caught the animal within range OF
his gun. Being rare specimen, the
pelt was worth the time and energy
The animal was sighted many times by
the hunter, but being approached, the
; ram would move along, and only once
did he get within range The crow has
the reputation of being the craftiest OF
the birds and will sit impudently at an
exposed place and watch the gunner
but will not allow the man to get within
shooting distance. Rabbits viii play In
the field, apparently paying no attention
to persons moving around at a safe dis
lance, but are quick to change their To-
cation at the approach of humans.

Everybody laughed except the re-

soned by something more lava-warm
than young veins: they pressed upon
his mouth with the motion of some
thing that at once bites and sucks blood
irresistibly but softly, like the great bats
which absorb the life of sleepers in

moist and cool and supple indescribable
in their clinging touch, as of beautiful
snaky things which. however firmly
clasped, slip through the hand with
homeless strength: they could not them

paralyzed the blood, but only to fill its

fires as strange as of a tropical volcano,
so that the heart strove to rise from its
bed to meet them, and all the life of

throat only to strange there in its
efforts at self-release. A feeble descrip-
