DEATH PLUNGE

SEATTLE, Aug. 8.-The career oi Reepresentative Marion A. Zion check, of the First District of the State of Washington, whose esca- pades during recent months have kept him in the public eye, ended in tragedy early last evening and his crushed and bleeding body was picked up from the pavement and taken to the King County morgue.
 Zioncheck plunged to his death from a window of his office on the fifth floor of the Arctic office build ing on the corner of Third Ave- nue and Cherry Street.
 The body crashed to the pave ment directly in front of the auto- mobile in which his wife, a recent bride, was sitting, waiting for him.
 Suicide
 A case of suicide, that was the statement of Coroner Otto H. Mittlestadt, after a brief investiga- tion.
 The streets were filled with people at the time, and persons who saw the Congressman fall, said apparently he died instantly.
 Mrs. zioncheck, waiting in the Congressman's automobile, parked in front of the building where his campaign headquarters were locat- ed witnessed the body fall, and when told 1t was her husband, she collapsed and was taken to the hospital in an ambulance which was called.
 DiUes Head First
 Coroner Mittlestaat said William Nadeau, the Congressman's broth- er-in-law, was in the office with Zioncheck at the time. The Cor oner quoted Nadeau as saying both started to leave the office when suddenly zoncheck whirled about and ran Is feet to a window from which he divcd head first.
 That Zioncheck committed sui eide was indicated by note which Coroner Mittlestadt found on top of Zioncheck's desk and quoted it as reading: My only hope in life vas to improve conditions of an unfair economic system"
 Zioncheck had announced his withdrawal from the Congressional race last Saturday. week ago to- day. stating that his reason for so doing was because of his mothers illness, but last Tuesday he filed his declaration of candidacy for the nomination on the Democratic ticket.
 Spectacular OutburstS
 Congressman Zioncheck began his spectacular outbursts soon after the death of Senator Huey P Long and started wise-cracking. Then he forged himself into the lime light by alleged driving at break neck speeds for which he was ar- rested. He spent several hours behind the bars before being re- leased on bail. He was fined and arrested again for speeding. Then to go further into the public's eye he announced his engagement to Miss Rubye Nix. stenographer, aged 2l. of Texarkana, Texas, who was employed in Washington, D. c.

IS
WORRIED OVER
SUPPLY OF OIL

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Jan. g.
The inability of prospectors to dis
cover new fields in the past year
IS causing considerable anxiety on
the part OF California oil buyers
and crude marketers may have con-
siderable difficulty in purchasing
an adequate supply throughout this
year. All of the larger companies
engaged in geophysical exploration
last year and this work is expected
to become of still greater import
ance during 1886. Several gas
fields we're discovered in California
in the past year or so by siesmO-
graph reflection.
If prospectors fail to open up
one or more prolific fields within
the first six months Of 1886 Cali
fornia operators will probably pro-
coed to drill deep tests in Los An
geles Basin fields. Several fields
in that area present deep zone
Practically every pro-
ducing field on the Newport-Bev-
erly sheer zone in Los Angeles Ba-
sin. together with the Santa Fe
Springs and West Coyote fields,
located along the eastern rim of
the basin, has deep zone p0ssibili-

tremendous possibilities.

to the west side by the Illinois

Journal Of London. One process is
known as the Bergius direct hydo-
genation of coal. The other is the
F'ischer-Tropsch process.
This process has been developed
by DR.. Franz Fischer and the late
DR.. Hans Tropsch, both being well
known names in connection with
fuel research work. This process
has been developed by DR.. Franz
Fischer and the late DR.. Hans
Tropsch. both being well known
names in connection with fuel re-
search work. This process Is based
on coal, but only indirectly, because
the raw material used in the syn
thesis is a water gas enriched in
hydrogen. AS generally known, wa
ter gas is made by the action Of
steam on glowing coke in which
both are decomposed. the steam
being ASSOCIATED into hydrogen and
oxygen, and the latter in presence Of
an excess OF coke and at a suitable
temperature, combining with the
coke to form carbon monOxide. The
osestically this should result in a
gas mixture in which the hydrogen
and carbon monoxide are present
in the ratio 2:1, but in practice
some carbon dioxide is also formed.
The water gas process can be so
conducted that the carbon dioxide
formed can be very considerable.
This is removed without difficulty
either by washing out with water
under pressure, or by an alkaline |
lye which absorbs it and gives it
up again by appropriate treatment.
In this way the hydrogen proper
tfon in the gas mixture can be in
creased to the degree necessary for
forming a synthesis gas for the sat
alytic conversion into hydrocarbons.
The products of this process can
be- largely controlled. and range
from about 20 percent rich hydro
carbon gases, light motor fuel, oil
for Diesel operation, lubricating oils
Of high grade. heavier oils, to solid
Darffins, which as already mention
ed are obtained in a very pure
form.
Any kind of coal or other fuel
which will yield a reasonably
strong lump coke is suitable for
he production of water gas so
hat 1t is possible to utilize cheap
material.

Will be appraised at cost price.
If their money were left in the

We do not realize our age

ing away. We are reminded OF
the age Of this organization by
the passing Of two OF our oldest
and most respected members.
One of them is DR.. C. Allen
Snyder OF Dubuque. Ia, one OF
the finest men we have ever
known. DR.. Snyder used to come
20 Montana for his vacations and
20 fishing with us in the Rocky
Mountains. Although many years
older than some of us, this grey
haired man ''held his own" in
hard pacEhorse trips far into
the Hills. Not only did we en-
Joy his company but he was
keen Judge of royalty invest
ments and we used to rely
heavily upon his good judgment.
The second is Schuyler schef-
film OF New York City. notice
OF whose passing came to us
this week from his son. Mr..
Schefflin was a younger man
than DIR. Snyder and we looked
upon him as the "lucky" type
of investor. Everything he bought
seemed to turn out we'll. His
royalties in Cut Bank field alone
constitute q model list worth
a small fortune, from a sur
prisingly small investment.

seems, but when the early mem
bers start leaving as. we real
ase that dt is s long tima in the
