MONARCHISTS IN GERMANY PLAN UPRISING, CLAIM Pan-German “Putsch” Program Is Seen in Recent Demonstrations; Inside Officials Working for Success BERLIN, June 16.—(Ry The Associated Press,)—The in- dependent Socialist newspaper Die Freiheit today features a sensational communication “from a well informed source” an- nouncing that a Pan-German “putsch” is impending. The writer states that various military parades which have been going on throughout Germany recently were not plated. credence recently through the trip hich R. 8, Ellison, vice president o' the Midwest Refining cortpany, E. L. | Estabrook, geologist of the same com- pany and J. W. Stewart, son of Col- onel Stewant, recently made through the midcontinent oil fields of Texas Oklahoma and old Mexico. They were gone three weeks, Mr. Ellison return- ing this morning. Mr. Ellison at his office today when asked directly what he knew of the proposed merger of the two gigantic Drape ‘merely displayes but serious prepara- tions for a monarchist coup d'etat, which be says is to be preceded by @ sailles. The demonstrations, it is de- clared, have always degenerated into militaristic and monarchistic displays. sort of St. Bartholomew's night in which all persons whose names are entered on a special will be given “short shrift.” The iter de- clares the ministry of defense and the police are implicated in the move- ment. Resolutions warning against proba- bie demonstrations against the repub- lic, set for June 28, were adopted yes- terday by the directorate of the ma- jority socialist party, the socialist Vor waerts announces. The resolutions say the nxtionalist associations, with German officers and ex-soldiers, are reported as intending to hold demonstrations throughout the country on June 28, the anniversary of-the signing of -the treaty..af-Ver- LOS ANGELES, June 16.—Noah's Ark, built to save human and ani- mal life from the flood of ancient biblical times, is stilt extant for all to see, 30,000 years after its con- struction. This is the belief of Dr. E. C. Getzinger, Egyptologist, now visiting here. His conclusion is based, he declares, on recent discov- eries, following 35 years of research Standard, and Mr. Mellon deny that such a deal is contem- oil companies, stated that the did not This rumor gained considerable | destre to be quoted. He admitted that he had heard of the deal, but stated that the rumor has been printed in the newspapers of the country and that anyone might have the same in- formation which he possessed. Ob- viously, if Mr. Ellison possesses defi- nited information in regard to the deal, he is not inclined to release the news. Should the Standard purchase the control of the Gulf Oil company, it would be the biggest deal in the oil industry of the current year and would likely cause some animated ac- tivity in the stocks of the companies concerned. A deal of the magnitude of this one naturally takes considerable time to consummate. There seems to be no doubt in the minds of men prominent in the industry of its ulti- mate completion but to set even an approximate date would be outside the realm of possibility. Texas Company Lands Contract WASHINGTON, June 16.—The ship- ping board anncunced today that it had entered into a contract with the ‘Texas company for transportation of between 500,000 and 1,000,000 cases of oil to east and south, African ports on the shipping board vessels operated by/the Mallory ‘Transport line. The shipments will extend over « period of ‘one year, the first shipment being ‘made on the eastern glade June 24. ‘The names of the consignees were not made public. he describes in an address before the Friday Morning ciu® of Los Angeles. Dr. Getzinger is convinced that the ark of Noah was not a ship; that it was the great pyramid of Cheops in Egypt. Recent discoveries prove that the pyramids—“Nosh's “Ark” and the others were under the sea for thousands of years, Dr. Getzin- work,-some_of the-results of which J-ger said.

Dr. Getzinger is convinced the py- ramids were built thousands of years before the reign of the Pharaohs. ‘The latter, to whom they have been accredited, merely repaired them and caused a-casing of stones to be built over them, he said ‘And ‘he also is convinced that the pyramids stand today a living monu- ment to an old and noble philosophy, a civilization. greater than any-the- human race has since attained.
