ifications of Sinister 0rien-
tai Mystery.
BY the Associated Press.


SACRAMENTO, Calf, March TO-
Three Hindus were held by Solano
County authorities today as the hunt
for the murderers CT SAINT Ram Pande,
81, University of California student, took
on ramifications of sinister Oriental
mystery.
The State bureau of criminal identi-
hcation, for which Pande gave up his
studies in order that he might work on
the unsolved killings of IS of his coun-
trymen in California in the last five
years, allegedly had been under sur
veillance by Hindus in the Sacramento
Valley.
Clarence s. Morrill,, head of the bu-
reau, said State criminal records were
being guarded by armed men because of
the surveillance by Hindu characters.
The manner in which Pande met
death. Morrill, said, recalled the activi-
ties of the Thuggees of Northern India,
the strange cult which worshiped the

yealed nothing. During the trial Rouse
said that the victim was a hitch-hiker
whom he had given lift and who had
accidentally, perhaps in lighting a
cigarette, set fire to his car while he was
outside effecting temporary repairs.
The case was marked by the I'M
Swerving loyalty of his wife and one of
the three women with whom he lived,
the mother of his child. After his ar
rest the wife and the other woman, a
Miss Campbell, joined forces and until
yesterday attempted to get reprieve
or communication of sentence. Mrs.
Rouse even invited Miss Campbell to
come and live with her, so that they
could rear his child together. Miss
Campbell announced, however, that she
was going away with the boy where he
could grow up among people who knew
nothing of the circumstances of his
parenthood.
Rouse, a 35-year -old travelling sales
man, drove from Northampton early in
November of last year, and when his
automobile was found burned by the
roadside it was at first believed that he
had died by accident.
Investigation revealed an extremely
complicated love life. Experts theorized
in court that he had become convinced
that death offered about the only solu-
ton and had conceived the plan of a
double which would permit him to "die"
legally at the expense of another's life.

SEVEN STATES ASK
PACT TO CURB OIL
Agreement With Producers or
Local Laws to Cut I'm
ports Proposed.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TExARKANA, Tex, March 1O.-An
agreement with major oil companies to
limit production and importation of
crude petroleum was recommended to-
day by representatives of Governors OF
seven States as the first step to be
taken in restoring prosperity to the in
dustry.
Representatives of Texas, Oklahoma,
Louisiana, Kansas, California, Arkansas
and Wyoming, meeting here yesterday
on call from Gov. William H. Murray
of Oklahoma, made the recommended
ton as one of a number which might
alleviate low prices, waste and great
distress" among oil men.
Ask State Imports Curb.
They proposed that, if agreements
between the States and producing COM
panies failed to curtail imports, Legis-
latures undertake to control imports
within the States. At the same time
they suggested that antitrust laws not
be applied.
The meeting adjourned to convene
again on the call of its chairman,
Cicero Murray, cousin of Gov. Murray
and it was indicated the next confer
ence would be in California
100000 Wells Periled.
One reason for the threatening break
down of proration in some States was
said to be exclusion of fair price from
the proration plan. Unless fair price
was obtained the conference set forth,
some 100000 wells in the United States
would be abandoned.
Other recommendations included:
Continuation of the committee as a
contact body between the States; mod
cling of all State conservation laws
after those of Texas and Oklahoma;
Federal sanction for plan to ellml-
nate evils of overproduction; proration
of the new East Texas field, and dis
couragement of any increase in gaso-
line taxes.

BEDFORD, England, March 10.-Al-

who last November tried to die by
proxy in an effort to escape the re-
SponSibilities for his amorous adven-

of an unidentified man.
He was the first person in las years
to be executed for the murder of an
unidentified victim. The body of the
man he killed was kept unburied
throughout his trial and subsequent in
generation in the hope that Rouse, in
a last-minute confession, would tell who
he was.
Prison officials carried this hope even
to the shadow of the gallows; but, SO
