PRIVATE SETTLEMENT OF OIL SUIT REPORTED % Pan-American Stockholder Doheny Over Elk Hills Lease Cancellation. L] Sues By the Associated Press. YORK, June 13.—The New York Herald-Tribune says it has learned that counsel for Pan-American Petroleum & Transport Co. and Ed- ward L. Doheny, Los Angeles oll mag- nate, are negotiating for a private set- tlement of a suit brought by Frank H. Kunkle of Cincinnati. Kunkle, a Pan-American stockholder, sued to compel Doheny to reimburse Pan-American for losses of more than '20000000 sustained when the Federal courts ordered the Elk Hills naval oil leases canceled. cers of the Pan-American Co. here refused to comment on the matter.

Stevens of Chicago, general counsel for Pan- American, who, the paper understands, is conducting the negotiations for the Doheny interests. The Kunkle suit was filed in Federal Court in Los Angeles. — ‘Women of England are becoming en- thusiastic glide: Open A Charge Account Pay weekly or monthly on Eiseman’s convenient terms.
