He was a candidate for mayor at the recent San Antonio election. (By B. V. Sturdivant) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) ON BOARD THE SUNSET LIMITED, ENROUTE TO LOS ANGELES FROM NEW ORLEANS, May 31. Declaring that her sensational escape from the Los Angeles county jail on December 2, last, was not done of her own accord, Clara Phillips, "hammer murderer," now speeding westward to face imprisonment in San Quentin sententiary, today told International News Service that her plea for a new trial will be built around this startling statement. The escaped and recaptured "tiger woman" said that her long flight was made because of circumstances over which she had no control and not necessarily because of her desire for freedom. "Since my capture in Tegucigalpa, I have promised the world a sensation which will be the means of establishing my freedom," she added. "A great part of that statement will tell exactly why I climbed to freedom through those iron bars, sawed by Jesse Carson, with whom I made my flight." Mrs. Phillips refused to divulge anything further than this. She said that her attorneys will meet the train in Los Angeles and plans will be placed under way then to reveal the entire story. "And if there is such a thing as justice," she added, "I will be a free woman." Armour L. Phillips, her husband, left Houston last night to board the train at Benmont, but failed to make his appearance. Love telegrams of the most endearing kind have been exchanged between the two since her arrival in the United States and he promised to meet her UNITED Theatre Anaheim Starting Sunday for 3 days at some point before she reached her grim prison cell. With a scornful look and flashing eyes she declared that she detested Carson and had never been the least attracted to him. When told that the world was asking in a rather censuring way where she received the money to finance her long flight, the "woman killer" replied that very little was spent and that was her savings and what Carson obtained by pawning her jewelry. She stoutly denied that a "ring" financed the trip and stated that she was at her "rope's end" when American official supprehended her. "I don't know what we would have done as Carson could never have provided a cent. He was continually drunk and used all he could scrap together for liquor. It is better that I returned—that is, if they give me a new trial. It would have cost the honor of both my sister and myself had we remained in duress." Every town and city that the train passed through furnished a crowd of curious people, all anxious to get a glimpse at Clara Phillips. Few national celebrities received a more hearty welcome than did the "tiger woman" in Houston. When the train came to a stop, hundreds of persons surrounded the car with cries of "Hello, Clara, we're for you. Keep a stiff upper lip, Clara, Texas is back of you." Her husband's mother and a brother then came rushing through hte crowd to talk with Clara, closely guarded to prevent a suspected break for liberty. After loud cries and demands from the mob, the mother-in-law and brother were permitted to enter the compartment and exchange embraces with the murderer. Houston was Mrs. Phillips' former home. After 10 minutes of confusion with the crowd shoving desperately to get near their former fellow townwoman, officers managed to clear the car of the many who had forced their way as far as her compartment and the train pulled out. At San Antonio the train was met by A. M. Gray, who adopted Mrs. Etta Mae Jackson as his daughter seven years ago when the sisters were playing in musical comedy in that city. He has also acted as a foster father to Mrs. Phillips since that time. Only Mrs. Jackson was permitted to see him.

UNITED Theatre Anaheim Starting Sunday for 3 days The Four Horsemen Of the APOCALYPSE with Rodolph Valentino and Alice Terry TIGER GIRL'S FATE HANGS IN BALANCE LOS ANGELES, May 31.—The fate of Clara Phillips, escaped "hammer murderess," now being returned here, hung in the balance today pending the outcome of a conference between Judge McCormick and Chief Deputy District Attorney Asa Keys and Deputy District Attorney W. J. Clark. It was expected the conference would result in a decision by the authorities to either rush Mrs. Phillips on to San Quentin as soon as her train arrives here tomorrow night or place her in jail here until new developments in her appeal fight for a new trial have occurred. The turn of affairs came as a sudden surprise today following statements of local officials that the "hammer murderess" had not the slightest chance of appeal. By their attitude they expressed doubt regarding the advisability of their proposed move to rush Mrs. Phillips on to the penitentiary to start her sentence of from ten years to life. According to statements by Judge McCormick and Sheriff W. I. Traeger, Mrs. Phillips' appeal has not yet been set aside or has the judge signed the commitment papers for her removal from jail here to San Quentin. Officers here today put little faith in Mrs. Phillips' asserted declaration that she would make starting revelations after her arrival here disclosing the real slayer of Alberta Meadows.

Miss Du Pre will first be seen as a child of the Greenwich village section of the city, and as Mignon, the model for John Courtney, that inspires a painting that wins the grand prize at the art exhibit. This success brings fame and fortune to the young artist and is the means by which Mignon, now a budding young woman, is introduced into the exclusive set where she meets young Harold Page. A double thread of romance is cleverly woven into the story that keeps the spectator guessing as to which will ultimately mature successfully, and this is heightened by the complications of a burglary and murder mystery in which the young artist becomes involved through his infatuation for a society butterfly.

Number of companies that stand among the leaders in California oil have from little companies grown in a few short years. How? By their own producing wells, their own pipeline for transportation, their series and controlling their own market. That made them INDEPENDENT in the true sense of the word—made them INDEPENDENT outside help or hindrance—and built them to profit and success. YOU, yourself have the chance to do what first investor in these "companies" did; to get in on the ground floor of an enterprise or own and control production, pipelines, refining plant and a positive market for every pint of its products.
