San Francisco—The purchase of two independent oil companies of Califor nia, the Union Oil company and the Genera) Petroleum company, involving $110,000,000, is announced In London by Eugene DeSabla, according to ad vices received here. DeSabla cabled that papers had been signed whereby a huge British syndicate, headed by Andrew Weir, will take over both companies. The deal involves more than $75,000,000 in stock and $35,000,000 in cash. The sale means that the Union Oil company, with its wide oil fields, its subsidiary pipe line companies and its great fleet of oil-carrying steamers, barges and sailing ships, will pass from the control of Lyman Stewart and his family and become merged in a gigantic British concern. The Union Oil company deal will be made on a cash basis, while the Gen eral Petroleum company will change hands through sn exchsnge of stock.

Couldn’t Bear to See Men Taken Ashore and Hanged—Sent!* ment Against Wilson. New York—The steamer from Vera Cruz that brought Mrs. John Lind, wife of President Wilson’s special en voy, brought also two Mezican legis lators, who owe their liberty, if not their lives, to her generosity. To save the two Mexicans from arrest at Vera Cruz, Mrs. Lind hid them in her stateroom and sat up all night on deck until the boat left port and the officers of the Huerta government had gone ashore. A week ago the cables brought word that the Ward liner Morro Castle had been detained at Vera Cruz, while Huerta's agents searched for eight re bellious members of the legislature of the state of Vera Cruz. Until the Morro Castle arrived here only those aboard knew that two of the eight deputies had escaped arrest. These 1 two, Adolfo Dominguez and Miguel A. Cordora, say they will stay in New York until Mexico becomes a safer home for the opponents of Huerta. Mrs. Lind said that her husband, the special envoy, and expected to come home after the Mexican election. Now she did mt know when he would come. The wife of the special envoy is a house-wifely little woman, with quiet manners and a low voice, but her eyes flashed as she said: “I couldn’t bear to think of those men being taken ashore and hanged. I just had to do something for them.” Two other Americans aboard the Morro Castle, George Hebron and John Kane, employes of the American Enameling & Refining company, also had an experience with Dominguez and Cordora. There were rumors that Huerta's agents stayed aboard until the ship reached Progresso, October 25. The first night out of Vera Cruz, Mr. Hebron said, Dominguez burst in to their stateroom yelling in Spanish, "They’re after me. They’re after me.” Hebron ran on deck and into the arms of a squad of Mexican soldiers. “Are you an American?” they de manded. Hebron said he was and they made no attempt to detain him. The deputies insisted that, while conditions in Mexico were chaotic, in terference by the United States would only make matters worse. They be lieved the quickest way to restore peace in Mexico would be for the gov ernment to grant amnesty to all rebels snd hold a free election.
