MORVICH “SHOWS quantities have been set aside as na- val reseryes on the recommendation of naval experts who recognize the vital necessity of preventing the oil sup- ply for naval purposes from being de- pleted. For many years efforts were made by private interests to secure patents to oil Jands or leases to lands in Naval Reserves. Nos. 1 and 2 in California by legislation. The fight of these outside interests to get hold of the Government's oil reserves made an Interesting chapter in the Wilson Administration. Final- ly, through the intervention of Prest- dent Wilson, Secretary of the Navy Josephus Danicls and Attorney Gen- eral Thomas W. gory, legislation to turn the oil reserves over to pri- vate interests was defeated, The na- val reserves were kept intact and af- ter a long struggle in Congress the supporters of the naval oll reserves felt that they had gained a victory that would yesult in a permanent Government policy against permitting ‘these fields to be raided by exploiting interests.

Under the pillow in his sleeping quarters they found a loaf of bread which interested them, because it was an unsual thing fora passenger to keep {n such a place. So they investigated if and discov- ered that it had been hollowed out to make a hiding place for $500 in American bills. This led the searchers to greater ef- forts and in the stick mass of a half eaten jar of jam they came upon $257. Next they investigated the dead man’s shoes and between the soles of one was $100 and between those of the other, $85. A $1 bill was found sewed in the lining of his waistcoat and in a letter were two $1 bills, All these bills, a total of $985.78, with his other effects have been placed in safe- keeping at the company’s office at.
