Develop Red River

for the operation of oil and g.is wells
upon land in the bed of the Red river
in Oklahoma which the supreme court
had held belonged to the federal gov-
ernment, were introduced by Senator

permits or leases to the original loca-
tors or their assigns and successors to
not more than sixteen acres and In
those cases where twd or more locu-
tions have been assigned to one per-
son or corporation to make leases [or
not more than 4 SO acres.
The leases would be granted under
the bills upon a royally of 12 1-2 per
cent of the value of all oil or gas pro-
duced. Unappropriated and undispos- i

0. S, MINI AT
Washington, U. C.—Responding to n
house resolution, Secretary Denby
transmitted to congress the informa-
tion in the hands of the navy depart-
ment on the status of warships scrap-
ped under the terms of the Washing-
ton arms conference naval treaty, or
otherwise disposed off by the signato-
ries since the adjournment of the con-
ference.
The report showed that neither the
United States nor Japan plan to com-
plete the scrapping of any existing
capital ships, at least pending promul-
gation of the treaty, although both na-
tions have stopped tyork on large
building programs of capital ships.
Great Britain, on the other hand, was
shown to have disposed of or to be dis-
posing of a very considerable number
of older capital feftlps.
Maine Has Been Sold
The United States, according to the
report, in addition to suspending work
on vessels under construction under
! the treaty, has decommissioned all
completed ships affected except the
battleship Connecticut, which soon
! will be placed out of commission, and
! lias sold the Maine and the Missouri,
I which are actually being broken up.
I Great Britain, Denby said, had at
the time his information was gather-
| od, but which was not indicated, brok-
| en up three capital ships; sold to be
| broken up, seven; sold, 'out not dis-
mantled, one; completed mutilations
i on two and was engaged in mutilating
| six others. The Australian govern-
ment, he added, had decided to scrap
the battle cruiser Australia.
Through her ministery of marine,
the secretary continued, Japan "had
stated that while work preliminary to
scrapping will be done, the hulls will
not be broken up or sunk until the
troaty has been ratified by all the pow-
ers. Certain preliminary work involv-
ing removal of guns, turrets, armor and
engines, was being done, he said, on
seven capital ships; three others had
been placed in the fourth reserve
GUARD DIES AFTER DAY
LIGHT BATTLE WITH
FOUR BANDITS
TAKE S200.000 IN CURRENCY
The Money Was Property of the Fed-
eral Reserve Bank and Was
Being Transferred to the
Main Bank
Denver, Colo.—Leaping from an au-
tomobile, which had drawn on up
alongside of a federal reserve delivery
wagon at the main entrance of the
1>enver mint, and shooting toward
four federal reserve guards who were
emerging from the building carrying
$200,000 in $5 bills, two bandits shot
and fatally injured Charles Linton, one
of the guards, seized the entire con-
signmein of money, sprang into their
motor car and escaped.
The third member of the bandit
group remained at the wheel of the
automobile. One of the bandits is be-
lieved to have been shot while making
his escape.
Guards Fire on Bandits
So quickly did the bandits work that
persons in the immediate vicinity
were unaware of what had happened
until guards from within the mint
rushed to the windows and out of the
main entrance, fired at the escaping
robbers. Linton, who was assisting
In guarding the currency, fell at the
first shot from the bandits' guns. T le
bandits, described by guards at the
mint who saw them, were apparently
about 28 years of age. Linton had
been employed by the federal reserve
bank lor many years as a guard.
The money was property of the fed-
eral reserve bank and was being
transferred from the mint to the main
bank office here for distribution to
Denver, Colo., and Wyoming banks,
according to R. J. Grant, director of
the mint.
The funds of the reserve bank are
held in vaults at the mint for the
bank because of the lack of secure
bank vaults in the headquarters of the
bank. It is released to the bank on
instructions from the secretary of the
treasury. The time for transfer of the
money is very irregular, according to
Director Grant, sometimes three and
four releases being made in a week
and then again no money released ov-
er a period of two weeks.
MORTIMER L. SCHIFF
FARMERS TO GET INCREASE
Wallace Says Improvement is Antici-
pated During 1923.
Chicago, 111.—A marked improve-
ment in agricultural conditions of the
country during 1923, not only in better
actual prices but as compared with
the prices of other commodities, was
predicted by Secretary of Agriculture
Henry G. Wallace, in an address be-
fore the Chicago Association of Cred-
it Men.
While agricultural prices remain
lower relatively than the prices o' oth-
er things, the farmers of the nation
will get between $1,500,000,000 and $2,-
000,000,000 more total money for their
crops this year than last, he said.
"Perhaps the chief reason for the
low prices the farmers have been re-
ceiving is that they have been over-
producing," he said. "During the war
years farm production increased very
greatly. The average cereal crops for
the past five years 1910-14 was 4,500,-
000,000 bushels. Stimulated by war
needs the production increased to
about 5.500.000,000 bushels in 1918 and
1919 and almost 6,000,000,000 bush-
els in 1920."
CORN EXPORTS ARE LARGE
Nearly Half of Corn Exported Goes
to Canada
Washington, D CV Nearly half the
exports of corn from the United
States in 1921—or 58,582,86 bushels—
went to Canada, according to the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Much of this corn, however,
eventually went to Europe for Cana
dian statistics shpwed only 12,000,000
bushels were imported from this coun-
try for home consumption.
Exports of corn the first three
months of 1922 were larger than dur-
ing any month of 1921.
The second largest foreign market
for American corn was the Nether-
lands. where 17,843,464 bushels were
imported. The next largest markets,
point of receipts were the united
kingdom, Germany and Mexico.
Corn exports for the first eight
months ol this year exceeded exports
for 1921 by 2,488,743 bushels, accord-
ing to the department. Total corn ex-
ports for 1921 were 128.974.505 bush-
els. Exclusive of 452,766 barrels of
Mortimer L. Schiff, prominent finan-
cier of New York city, who for years

This means that all international af-
fairs that have to do with scouting
will be handled by Mr. Schiff.
TUG FIREMAN SWAM ICY FLOOC
WITH A ROPE ABOUT HIM HE
REACHED SHORE
Survivors of Lake Disaster Fought
Cold and Hunger, Five Days on
Bleak Isle.
Saulte Ste. Marie, Mich.—Twenty
men who were aboard the tug Reli-
ance. wi ked on the rocks of the Liz-
ard Islaiius, and who spent Ave days
on the islands with scant shelter from
the sub-zero weather and with scarce-
ly any food, arrived here. Three oth-
ers are aboard the tug Gray, now en-
gaged in taking off Lake Superior
light keepers, and will be brough*
here later. All the survivors brought
here were suffering from exposure and
are receiving medical treatment.
. With the arrival of the survivors
some of the detailed story of their ex-
periences and the loss -of four of their
number. Three of the thirty-six per-
sons aboard the tug when she was
j wrecked lost their lives while trying
to launch a lifeboat. Two men clung
to the boat and were carried out into
the lake where they perished, while
Captain McPherson, an elderly man,
was injured in the fall and sank im-
mediately.
The fourth man refused to heed the
warning of his comrades and was
poisoned by eating frozen berries af-
ter the party had abandoned the water
filled tug and taken refuge on one of
the islands from which they were
picked up by the Gray and Favorite.
Fireman Swims in Icy Flood
William Gow, a ureman on the Reli-
ance, was the hero of th^ wreck He
realized the twenty-three men soon
would be forced to leave the tuc,
which was pounding on the rocks and
planned their escape to the is'and.
The only food on the tug was can-
ned meat, soaked bread and cake.
Knowing that the food would not sus-
tain them for any length of time, the
men first rationed the bread, allowing
only two slices to each.
When this was exhausted they
made soup of the meat and lived on
that alone until they were rescued.
Built Hut of Brush
One »xe had been taken from the
Reliance and with this they cut poles
and built a hut of brush to shield
them from the gale. The sailors' pre-
caution of carrying his matches in a
bottle probably saved the lives of
some of the men who otherwise might
have succumbed to the extreme cold.

tive quarantine wag maintained.
