South America Steeped in
Untold Supplies of Petroleum
Washington.—Petroleum riches un
told await development in South Amer
ica, if the predictions of United States
Geologist David White, one of the
world’s best known oil experts, are
realized.
Dr. White believes that the South
American continent is richer in pe
troleum resources, in comparison with
area, than any other continent, with
the possible exception of North Amer
ica.
•‘Geological exploration,” Dr. White
said Saturday, “is not far auvanced in
South America. It has been confined
to comparably few regions. Geological
evidence, however, of the existence of
high grade petroleum deposits in the
continent, and such deposit seems to be
very widely disseminated. In many
regions the general geologic conditions
are such as to warrant the belief that
oil would be found by exploration and
drilling.”
The petroleum resources of South
America, as calculated by Dr. White,
are upward of 13.000,000,000 barrels.
This he believes to he a very conserva
tive figure, yet it is approximately
twice the amount remaining in the
United States fields.
For the entire world the petroleum
resources are estimated by Mr. White
at about 84,000,000,000 barrels.
Bootleggers Drop $15,000.
Newark,5N. J.—Bootleggers who op
erate on the ‘‘whisky curb” at Halsey
street and Brantford place were snick
e ring Thursday at two of their felloes
who let themselves be taken in by a
couple of city slickers from New York
to the extent of $15,000.
The gentlemen^from New York ar
rived with tales of an aged and corrupt
sea captain who had 25 barrels of
smuggled whisky. The Newark boot
leggers accompanied them to the
cache, tasted the liquor, found it thor
oughly constitutional, and paid over
$15,000 for 12 barrels.
As they were carting it away one of
the pair decided to take another sam
ple. He bored every barrel without
finding anything more intoxicating
than water.
Bequest to Youth Reads Like

here who aided Hilliard in the conduct
of his business for the last four years,
but bore do blood relationship to him.
Cashion moved here front Ferrvville,'
Mo., about tive years ago. He was just
about of age at that time. His associa
tion with Hilliard and the manner in
which he comes into t.he huge estate
reads like a page torn from a story
book.
All question as to Cashion’s right to
the estate was settled Saturday when
the only heirs of Hilliard—he died a
bachelor—agreed to accept SI00.000 in
lieu of all claims. Hilliard had left
them—his four nieces--810,000 each.
By agreement of counsel they will get
$25,000 each. The only o»her provision
in the will gives $50,000 to the Arkan
sas Children’s Home at Tattle Rock.
Calamity Trails Black Cat,
a Girl and ‘Half a Pint’
New V^ork.—“In ttie cup in four,”
was the manner in which Detective
Dowd Tuesday might have described
his experience in the Black Cat res
taurant in Greenwich village, if he had
been a golfer.
Appearing in police court, be told
Magistrate Nolan this was how he had
obtained evidence of violation of the
state prohibition law.
He opened negotiations for a drink
with John Adriano, a waiter, who re
ferred him to Albert Fossoti. the man
ager, who passed him along to Saba
tore Benrubi, cigarette vendor, who
introduced him to Dorothy Wilson, in
charge of the cloak room. In the
course of the introductions he said he
rid himself of $15, hut later found a half
pint of whisky in his coat pocket.
So only Hie black cat itself was left
to guard the eating place Wednesday
afternoon, while the staff was being
held in $500 each, after pleading not
guilty. _
General John J. Pershing recently
declined to accept a distinguished ser
vice cross, voted him by the army
board of awards, for extraordinary
heroism in action against hostile fanat
ical Moros at Mount Bagsak, Jolo,
Philippine islands, on June 15, 1012.
He had previously declined the award
of the medal of honor for the same ex
ploit. General Pershing explained his!
refusal by suying that he did not con-j
sider his action '‘measured up to the
high standards set in the American ex
peditionary forces, and that he had dis
approved hundreds of recommendations
for the D. S. C. based on acts more de
serving.” _
For every million tons of coal mined,
