WILBUR MAKES MANY CHANGES / - Interior Department Shake up Startling to Official Washington By JAMES L. WEST (Associated Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON. March 13.—(/P)— Far reaching changes in the poli cies and operations of the interior department are being effected un der the Hoover administration with a rapidity which has startled official Washington. Although Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur has been in charge of the depart ment only a week, a new major policy, that of the complete con servation of* government oil in the ground, has been adopted and a series of changes made in adminis trative officers with several more to follow in the near future. Joseph M. Dixon, former gover nor of Montana, has succeeded E. C. Finney, as chief assistant to the secretary; Mr. Finney has replaced Ernest O. Patterson as solicitor, and three bureau chiefs are to be deposed as soon as their successors can be found. They are Charles H. Burke, in charge of Indian af fairs; Winfield Scott, commissioner of pensions, and W’illiam Spry, commissioner of the general land office, who has been in ill-health for months. While the interior department has been under general fire in congress for a number of years, friends of Dr. Wilbur assert the changes in policies he Is inaugu rating are more the result of his own studies of the whole field of activities of the department than of any assaults that have been made from the outside.

CANDLER DIES AT HOME Coca Cola King Succumbs To Illness of 2 Years; Mourned In Atlanta ATLANTA, Ga., March 13.—(JPi —Atlanta today mourned Asa G. Candler, a former drug clerk in a country pharmacy, whose faith in a soft drink formula brought him millions in the manufacture of Coca Cola. The 78-year-old cap italist. civic leader and philanth ropist died late yesterday after an illness of more than two years. The story of Mr. Candler’s rise is a story of the romance pf American business. As the pro prietor of an Atlanta drug store, more than forty years ago, he pur chased the formula for Coca Cola for a reported price of $500. and in 1915 sold his interest in the im mense Coca Cola manufacturing company for $23,000,000. He was married, while still a pharmacist, to Miss Lucy Howard of Atlanta, who died in 1919. Soon thereafter he was sued for $500, 000 damages in a breach of promise action by Mrs. Onezima Debouchel of New Orleans, but won the ver dict after a lengthy trial. In 1923 he married the former Mrs. Mary Little Reagan of Atlanta, who sur vives him. Mr. Chandler s path to success was not without its obstacles. He was ten years old when the Civil war began. The family farm was near the path of desolation spread by Sherman's march through Geor gia and when the war had ended the fa^m was stripped of negroes, stock and provisions. He did his share of the work of reclaiming the land, at the same time attend ing the public schools. This he sup plemented by the study of phar macy and when he was 21 went to Atlanta, Ga.. with a capital of $2.50. Going to work in a drug store he remained until November 1873. when his father died and he re turned to the family farm to take charge of it. When conditions at the farm were such as to enable him to do . so he returned to Atlanta and in j 1873 made his first start in bus iness, forming a partnership with the late N. B. Hallman in the drug business. After four years he pur- i chased his nartner’s interest and conducted the business alone for six years. I Started Small In April. 1388. Mr. Candler first became connected with the manu facture of Coca Cola and three years later became the sole own er of the business. Having con fidence in its future he staked his fortune in it and devoted all his time to it. His first factory was a small shed and he personally stirred the kettle in which the syrup was manufactured. The first year the sales amounted to only 500 gallons. Mr. Candler organized the Coca Cola comnany of Georgia Febru ary 22, 1392, and continued as Its active head until 1911, when he was succeeded his son, Charles Howard Chandler. In addition to his gifts to char ity. which aggregated several mil lion dollars. Mr. Candler’s life was characterized by numerous in stances of practical altruism—acts which in their inception appeared like tossing away money for the benefit of the public. During the money panic of 1907 he offered to YOUR HOUSE NEED PAINT? ....

As a result he paid out $1,100,000 in cash for Atlanta real estate without de manding sacrifice from the owners. Aided Cotton Grower When the World war cut off the European cotton market and the price dropped to six cents a pound. Mr. Candler went to the rescue of the southern cotton growers, an nouncing his readiness to lend on cotton up to $30,000,000 .n the ba sis of six cents a pound. After a large portion of the amount had been distributed he took off the limit and offered to lend as much as the South wished to borrow. In 1915 Georgia found it neces sary to refinance an old bond is sue, one authorized by the carpet bagger government and which had been repudiated by the state dur ing the reconstruction days after the Civil war.

DAWES MAY BE Former Vice President Ex pected to Replace Hough ton In Britain WASHINGTON, March 13.—— Although he has relinquished the vice presidency and returned to Chicago, the question, what will j Charles Gates Dawes do next, re- | mains a subject of lively specula tion in the capital. Of course, it is known he has gene back to his Chicago bank, and he plans to go to San Domingo soon to help organize the fiscal ' affairs of that nation. It is also known he has been making plans j to an to Europe this summer, j When that was first mentioned, j the inference was that his Euro ; pean trip would be a personal af fair. Now, however, the idea is! gaining credence that he will not go as a private citizen, but as • America's new ambassador to Great Britain. Alanson B. Houghton, the pres ent ambassador, it is assumed, is preparing to retire fom that post and. possibly, from public life. President Hoover is maintaining his position that he will make no diplomatic appointments pending ] the arrival of his new secretary of state. Henry L. Stimson. but he is j known to have a very high regard for the former vice president’s j abilities. REALTY MEN TO HONOR NATIONAL PRESIDENT (Special to The Herald) McALLEN.

Moffett today took over the control stick of ihe naval air service for another period of service despite the belief of a number of high ranking officers that the po sition of chief of the bureau of aero nautics should be passed around among officers. President Hoover, however, has reappointed him for another term and this w-ill enable him to see the completion of the five-year naval aircraft building program. This program was recommended by the Morrow air board which inquired into the nation’s air defense after William Mitchell had made startling charges against the administration of the army and navy air services. Whether the opposition to Mof fett was made known at the White Houes is a matter of conjecture. It also is unknown whether Moffett’s continuance in office was objected to by some of his brother officers for other reasons.
