By the Associated Pres ‘The Federal Oll Conservation Board has under conslderation a. proposal by Ponald E. Bridgman, Minnesota com- missioner on uniform State laws and investigator for the national confer- ence of commissioners on uniform Btate laws on oil and gas development legislation, advocating a uniform State law to conserve the nation’s oil resources. He also urged considera- tion of enlarged power for State oil boards or other State regulatory bodies to govern production along conservation lines. Mr. Bridgman made these claims for his plan: Saving of $12,000,000,000 through Increased production and les- sened costs; increase proved reserves from 7 to 20 years; save the au tomobile owners and Industry from prospective gasoline shortage: the railronds $300,000,000 annually through use of Diesel engines with | electric drives for locomotives, with | insured oil supply and reduction of | their fuel bill, and aid the coal indus- | try by stabilizing ofl output and re move oil from cheaper uses in compe- titfon with coal for burning under boilers. Belleving that a uniform State law regulating ofl production is feasible and constitutionnl, Mr. Bridgman de- | first declined to w RICHARD REESE WHITTEMORE, Bandit and gunman, leader of nation- wide “million-dollar crime” trust, exe- cuted in_ Maryland penitentiary for murder of prison guard.

August 13 ~—IFormal petition of 174 claimants to shares in the estate of Mark Hop- kins, California multi-millionaire, who died March 29, 1878, was filed in Federal Court here yesterday. on the grounds that it set a dangerous example. The gang's breakup was rapid after Whittemore and two companions visited the Chantee ht Club in the ¢ morning of March t. He s trailed from the door by a rov- ing patrol, forced from his automo bile several blocks away and taken to headquarters, where his, identity was established. The remainder of one by the gang were rounded up one, largely through a police watch on Mrs. Margaret Whittemare, the bandit chief's wife, who was living with him in a downtown hotel. Paladlono “tipped off” the system and incriminated, besides Whittemore, Leon and Jacob Kruemer, brothers: Milton “Shuffles” Goldberg and _ “Baltimore Willie”’ Unkelbach as the chief members of the gang. Unkelbach, the last to be in his confession ested, in Baltimore while search for him was being made in | Cleveland and might have escaped automobile had he not driven in his from Baltimore to New York to re- trieve persona! belongings.

Bdwin B Hesse, superintendent of police, by L. A Mueller, imperial representa- tive of the organization. The appli- cation stated that the klansmen would march in their regalia, but with the visors lifted, giving a full view of the face. Maj. Hesse said he would approve the application and make the nece: sary police arrangements for the pa- rade. In a conference recently with the Klan's imperial representative the superintendent of police made it clear that he would not issue a permit for the parade unless the Klansmen marched unmasked. The request for the permit was made in writing and asked permission to use Pennsylvania avenue between the Peace Monument and Fifteenth street. No indication was given, how- ever, as to the possible number of klansmen who would participate in the demonstration. e LONDON, August 13 (#).—The ‘Westminster Gazette learns that al- though the British steel interests will be represented informally they have no intention of becoming signatories to the Franco-German steel agreement being negotiated at Par.

By the Associated Press. “ FAIRFIELD, Idaho, August 13.— Senator William E. Borah, in an ad- dress prepared for delivery at the an- nual Pioneer day celebration at Camas Prairfe here today, declared that “startling revelations as to the ex- penditure of money in elections” re- veals that “‘money has come to be the moving power in American politics.” He expressed the wish that the ex- posure of ‘“money in politics” will “'succeed in arousing the people to the real problem before us,” in praising the work of Senator James A. Reed, Democrat, and his special investigat- ing_committee. The Senator decried “political patronage” and declared that “the Republican organization of the South is held together and sus- tained by the worst kind of corrup- tion."” Senator Borah asserted that expo- sures of the investigating committee are more than an “impeachment of the primary” when he advanced the admonition, “let us not be deluded by the fallacious proposition that the late expenditures are due to the primary or confined to one or two Stat He continued by describing “expenditures of money in elections” gs a “fearful national evil.” The Senator stressed principally the arousing of the people to the ne- cessity of dealing with those who run for office on the strength of money rather than upon lssues.” He also continued his fight against adherence to the World Court, and expressed op- position to the cancellation of foreign debts by the United States SHEFFIELD LEAVES MEXICO TOMORROW; EXECUTIONS DENIED (Continued_from served importance enough to be made known to the public,” he said.

The economic boycott called in pro- test against the government's religious regulations does not appear to have hecome more serfous as far as Mexico City is concerned, but it continues, nevertheless, to cause considerable de- pression in business circles. The Catholic episcopate. in a reply to the recent report of the party o American “good-willers” headed Alva W. Taylor of the Church 1 iples ‘Social Service Commission, regarding its findings after investigat- ing the religious situation in Mexico, declared it to be “mortifying to Amer- icans residing in Mexico that Amer- ican intellectuals comeé here, disfigure the truth and mislead the opinion of the American press and people.” Prior to their departure from Mex- | ico City the “good-willers” passed a resolution saying, “‘We believe a pro- gram of education and social reform necessary for the rehabilitation of Mexico. We believe the Calles admin- istration is engaged in a great pro- gram of soclal reform and that all truly interested in the welfare of Mex- fco will co-operate in its essential un- dertakings."” | May Arrest Archbishop. The possible arrest and trial of Most Rev. Mora y del Rio, \'s-nerah]e‘ archbishop of Mexico and the most plcturesque figure of the Catholic | Church in this country, was the chief | topic discussed by Catholics yesterday. This talk was occasioned by a statement from the ministry of in- teror that an _alleged interview given by the archbishop to an Amerl- | can newspaper was to be investi-| gated by the attorney general on the| ground that it may have violated the constituion. The special clause cited is one which prohibits clergymen from criticizing the fundamental laws of Mexico or the Mexican government. Something of a concession on the | part of the government {s seen in the action of the mayor of Mexico City in connection with the ('ommlllb(‘s‘ having _charge of the Catholic | churches from which the priests | withdrew on July 31, simultaneously with the going into effect of the re- ligious regulations. The mayor has decided that these committees may be composed of five citizens ap- pointed by the municipality and of five Catholics. Up to now the com- mittees have been made up only of municipal appointees. Situation Is Deadlocked. The religious situation continues deadlocked, and the archbishop says that if the boycott of the League for the Defense of Religlous Liberty fails to induce the government to yield, or it does not yleld otherwise, the situa- tion will continue deadlocked indefi- nitely, because the archbishopric i under papal instructions not to accept under any circumstances the new re- ligious regulations. The only course left then, the arch- bishopric says, is an attempt to ob- tain an_amendment to the constitu- tion. This requires a two-thirds vote of the Federal Congress and ap- proval by the majority of the state legislatures. The expectation was this morning that during the day the United States embassy would make further repre- sentations to the Mexican foreign of- fice concerning the refusal of the warders of the jail to permit a repre- sentative of the American consulate to see and talk to J. H>Grande of Los Angeles. Mr. Grande is being de- tained incommunicado on a technical charge of fraud in connection with banana sales. Yesterday evening Vice Consul Lewis went to the jail to see Mr. Grande, but was refused admission, although the foreign office had in- formed the embassy that it had been arranged for an American repre- sentative to visit Mr. Grande.

By the Associated Press MIAMI, Fla, August 13.—Three official investigations were directed today into an alleged conspiracy to dynamite the home of H. A. Hamp, president of the Hialeah Chamber of Commerce. The alleged plot was revealed yes- terday when officers arrested Hamp- ton Greene, Hialeah civic organiza- tion promoter, on a warrant signed by Hamp, which charged that Greene had conspired to bomb Hemp's home and kill him. The | warrant was based on a statement said to have been made by W. A. Welle, who was arrested for high- way robbery and burglary. Welle told officers that bomb and dynamite had been cached, but was unable to locate any of the explo- sive when officers accompanied him to several places last night. Police place little credence in the alleged plot, saying they believed Welle had other motives in making the statement which is said to have implicated Greene. Greene has emphatically denfed The charge. Greene has not asked to be al- lowed bond and no date has been set for @ preliminary hearing.
