THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND OREGON TUESDAY. APRIL 19, 1021. :. S. PROTESTS TO BRITAIN REGARDING COSTA RICAN OIL ? By Harry J, Rogers ; Washington, April 19. (I. N. JS.) The United States has sent a 'note to Great Britain dealing with 7 the so-called Aynory oil concession -cism by British officials of the action of this government irr refusing to -support the concession, it wu learned here today. . The note was dispatched by Secretary ,'of State Hujhes April 15. being for warded through (he American embassy at London, j The communication' was in the-nature Juf a protest, having been prompted by the speech of a British official in the Thoue of commons on March 1 ' during the course of which: it was intimated lhat the American government, through ' its consul at San J one, Costa Rica, had endeavored improperly to procure annul- ment of the concession of an oil com pany In .which British capital was In terested. ' 5 Similar charges, the communication "pointed out, had been made on other oc- caslons, and the matter had even been referred to in a formal note. ; The Tinoco government. Secretary MIUKhes pointed out, was revolutionary Jin character, wit never recognised by either Great Britain or the United States ;and had passed out of existence Septem ber 2, 1913. ; s The' action of the American consul at ,Fan Jow, the note Continued, was not .authorised by the American government, though it was In line with the general ..policy of the United States-in refusing Mo recognize the concessions of an usurp ing revolutionary government. f Nevertheless," the note states, "it is ' difficult to pert ive how any f uch action during the period prior to annulment of -the concession would furnish necessarily an -occasion for justifiable criticism on Jthe part of His Majesty's government." The Amory company was .an Ameri can corporation, though It subsequently developed that British subjects owned J much of its stock.. From the revolution--ary leader Tinoco, it got large conces sions of potential oil lands In Costa kKlca. The United States government had refused diplomatic support to Amer ican citizen's seeking concessions from JTinoco, and- It never supported the claims of the'Amory company. i i A- oxlmat . a y'ear after the fall Jof the Tinoco government the new Costa tllican regime cancelled th Amory con cession. Under date of August 12, 1920, tjiMst one day after the Amory conces sions were cancelled, the British govern ment notified the United States that 'British subjects were interested in the jAmory company, this being, as the 'American note points out, the first Intl . mat ion that the Interests of British sub- jects were involved.

He mas a mem ber of one of the oldest titled families in Germany. He was, in reality. Count Helnrlch von Pickler. He was a grad uate of the University of Wunsburg, dis trict of Bavaria. "His mother was a von Buelow, mem ber of a famous family throughout Ger many and relative of Prince von Buelow, I who won fame in the world war. His mother died when Heinrich was born. There wa"s a family row. Disgruntled over this, the young count came to America. ' "He corresponded, however, with mem bers of his family and never renounced his claim to a vast estate in Bavaria He; was a man of intellect -and wonder ful-personality. " , , ROBBERT CAlIiED 31 OTITIS "I don't believe there Is any mystery in von Pickler's death. He was mur dered by robbers. There was a blunt hole in bis skull, such as may have been made by a hammer. His inexpen sive watch was untouched. But in his pockets was a roll of bills totaling Rev eral hundred dollars. This money was taken. "The count was awaiting word at any moment to go back to Bavaria to claim his estate. I was deputized by him to receive his mail. He was forced to con fide in me that his real name was Count von Pickler. He was a wonderful, lov able chap in middle life, dark gray eyes, hair and moustache streaked with gray. He was short and stout but won derful as a linguist, a grammarian and a military tactician. DISCOCXTS WIFE THEORY The detectives had heard tales of many women in the case one of whom Von Pickler married. His friend Lentz discounted thla, saying: "There was no wife, no divorce fand no woman in my friend's life. His men tality was too keen; his purpose of re turning to the fatherland and claiming his estate too all-engrossing for him to consider any lighter pursuits. I never knew a man in the full vigor of strength who held more aloof from women. ;no oe certain oi it; mere was no woman in the case." , Astorians Pay Visit Vancouver, Wash., April 19.
