attractive young woman giving the name of Katherine E. Palmer, and a youth named Gordon Lewis were being held by police here today in suspicion of connection with plot to extort money from Hubbard W. Larkin, who killed himself this morning in a fire station where he had spent the night. Larkin, 28 years old, was a grandson of John D. Larkin, founder of the Larkin Soap company.

No charges have been laid against the couple, and probably will not be until the woman's husband, Gerald Palmer, to whom she. said she was married in Detroit and another man known as Joseph Rudy have been arrested. The man known as Kudy cashed a $500 check given him by Larkin October 24. Larkin complained at the detective bureau Thursday that last Tuesday five men came to his home In Eden, N. and demanded.

55,000 They were all armed, he said. He told police they sought to extort the money from him "because he had been going with Katherine Palmer, wife of one of the men."

Alabama "Buckaroo" Shatters Tech 11 ATLANTA, Nov. 16--m--Ol Tony Holm, "Eama's Battering Buckaroo" from Tuscaloosa, shattered Georgia Tech's forward wall and disrupted the tornado's passing attack to carry Alabama to 14 to 0 triumph at Grant field today. Not until Bolrn plucked a Tornado pass out of the air late in the last period and raced 50 yards for his second touchdown, was victory assured for Alabama. In the opening quarter the valiant Tony had put across the Crimson tide's touchdown after a series of smashes straight through the line where post-hole diggers and steam shovels have scooped into the earth to strike rich, veins of crude oil-the world's shallowest wells! Water wells stopped their flow and started flowing qll to give operators in the monstrous field their first notice that oil was seeping from the big wells into a gravel strata only a short depth below the top of the ground.

The town of Red suddenly found its supply of drinking water had turned to oil. "Flowing Gold" Shortly afterwards the oil was seen to be seeping out along the banks of the Pecos river. Soon the oil began coming out in such quantities that the bed of the river was covered with the black crude oil and the age-old term of "flowing gold" became a reality. Tho first effort to recover the oil was in placing a wooden boom across the shallow river and turning the floating oil into a ditch, from which it was pumped into storage tanKs and then turned into the pipe lines. One man saw an opportunity, and, prospecting for himself, oug a ditch into which the seepage oil from the side of the bank was turned.

Soon the ditch was flowing Just as a river would flow when fed 'by springs of water. The rest of the operation is simple, a small pump taking the oil from the ditch and carrying it Into the storage tanks and on Into the pipe lines. An oil company Imported a steam shovel and soon a trench digging campaign was underway to salvage the oil which was leaking from the casing of the monstrous wells, seeping on through the gravel structure to the river. The ditch hit the "pay" at about 30 feet, the oil soon filling it with a continuous flow. Again the operation was simple --a small puaip being placed at the end of the ditch, pumping the oil night and day.

A number of small wells, from 25 to CO feet deep, were dug elsewhere around the lease and put on the pump. Farther back other oil companies sunk the shallow wells and little purnps now dot the landscape, producing what would be quantities of oil in the average field, but it's Just a "salvaging" process in the field where a hundred yards away is a monstrous producer--No. 30-A Yates--which startled the oil world late in Scntembrr by flowing at the rate of 204,695 barrels of oil dally.
