TEXAS SEEKING
PENALTIES OF
OIL COMP ANIES
Former BootbIaCk- NeWSboy
Will Represent State
in Courts.
By United Press

By United Press
AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 28.-JameS
V. Alfred, former bootblack and
newsboy, and now Texas 32-year-
old encouragement, will oppose
some of the nations ableSt corpor-
alton lawyers here Jan. 5, when
fifteen oil companies and aSSocia-
tons are summoned to answer
charges of violating antitrust laws.
Alfred will demand fines total
ing S17,850,000 from oil companies
charged with conspiracy to Tx
prices and throttle small competi-
tors, and otherwise violate Texas
trade laws.
When Alfred still was in short
pants, his father summoned his
five sons before him. He confded
a hope that one would become a
lawyer.
Since that day each of the five
has served either as county or dis
trict attorney.
Allred'S first act as attorney-gen-
eral of Texas was to write a letter
to his parents, thanking them for
the opportunities they had afforded
him.
His attack on large oil companies
is set forth in a 132-page petition
The document in itself is a roman
tic story of how certain foreign oil
corporations, after being driven out
of the state, returned to do bust
ness through subsidiaries.
For their defense, the oil COM
panieS are expected to secure the
foremost legal talent available. They
will represent assets worth hun
dreds of millions.
Much of this capital has been in
vested in thousands of miles of pipe
lines, countless oil wells, storage
tanks, refineries, Office buildings,
fleets of tank cars and lengthy
chains of filling stations.

was demanded today for the release
of Harriet Halverstadt, American
woman missionary, by a bandit
chieftain who has held her captive

Missionary officials began negotia-
ton for Miss Halverstadt's freedom,
but it appeared she would be kept in
the bandits mountain lair for some
time.
She was captured by peasants dis
guised as sailors while travelling by
boat from Futing to Foochow and
later fell into the bandits hands.
Miss Halverstadt is from Yelling
ton, Kan.

MILLER WORKING.
ON FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE MACHINE
If Car Is Successful on
Speedway 1t May Be
Commercial Job.
BY NORMAN E. IsAACs

When you do your automobile
shopping in 1885, you may ride
home in a new four wheel-drive
machine, vehicle with a combina-
ton front and rear-wheel drive and
hydraulic clutch.
1t will ride you like the tabled
magic carpet, and its streamlining
effects will be beyond your fondest
dreams.
That, in effect, is the forecast Of
Harry Miller, one of the worlds
greatest automotive creators and
experts, and who promises to pro-
duce the first of his wheel
drive machines at the indianapolis
Motor Speedway next May.
Back in 1925, Miller rolled out
the first front-wheel-drive ma
chine, a snug, little one-seated
racer that Rugged the ground, and
which captured the fancy and
imagination of every race-goer.
-Four years later, the folks stood
and gaped as the first front-Wheel
drive passenger autos cruised
through the streets of Indianapolis.
The front-wheeler had made good
on the race tracks of the nation.
Making good on the race tracks
proved it would make good on
streets and highways.
So now, Miller is toiling over his
four-whee1 drive creation, the latest
development in auto racing. If it
makes good, and Miller has every
confidence it will, it will be incor-
porated into a passenger auto and
by 1885, if all goes well, you will be
able to drive one yourself.
It is rumored in automotive circles
that builders of gasoline engines for
trucks are beginning to study pos
sible revamping of their motors to
put them on level ground for the

trucking-motor battle looming with
the Diesel.
The oil-burners big boast is
steadiness and economy and the
gas-burner men are beginning to
look on the economy argument quite
seriously.
The 1882 five century race at the
Speedway is likely to give you a
years -ahead picture of your future
motor car. Manufacturers of stock
cars alreday are beginning to take
more interest in the big race, and
some startling new designs are
likely to be rolled out for tests.
That makes competition much
keener. 1t speeds up the improve
ments and brings your dream of
motor car perfection that much
closer to realization.

'P|CKW|CK' IN PARTS
VALUED AT $4,000.
Dickens, as Reporter, Wrote
Nineteenth Century'S Most
Valuable Book.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS
NEW YORK, January 24.-When
Charles Dickens turned out the first of
the twenty in nineteen" parts of
"Pickwick" in 1886, he little dreamed
that one day biblophilers would 60 over
every line of text and advertising and
every scratch Of the graver with a
miscroscope to discover points" which
eventually would make a copy of the full
work worth $4,000
1t was just two years ago that the
Jerome Kern copy of "Pickwick" in parts
established the high-water price OF
$4,000 at auction. Today the eyes OF
Dickens collectors and bookmen are
turned toward the auction next week OF
the library of B. George Ulizio of Pine
Ridge, N. j., at which another perfect
"Pickwick" will be offered.
Dickens photographer lists al" re-
quired points for perfect first edition
of which he says there are no more than
IA in the world, although the later is
sues of the "Pickwick" parts had q cir
culation of more than 10000 copies.
1t required two pages of fine print
in a catalogue to list the established
points of the Ulizio "Pickwick" and in
addition some newly discovered points
peculiar to this volume. The book once
was the property of the late George
Dali NCSuGSiCOll, q OlChCLLo COllcCJOL
who finally traded it because he was
unable to include a perfect part IL
This defect later was remedied.
"Pickwick" has two unique distinctions
Next to the Bible, Shakespeare and the
Book of Common Prayer, it is estimated
to have had the largest circulation of
any English book. Likewise, one copy
now owned by William L. Elkins OF
Philadelphia, the first IA parts of which
are autographed by Dickens to his
sister-in-law. Mary Hogarth, is held to
be the most valuable book published
during the Nineteenth century.

Disorders broke loose as Walter Ul-
bright, Communist member of the

side the hall until all the furniture and
the doors were demolished, then ad-
journed to the outside for more of it.
Police rushed up and ended the argu-
ment with clubs.
