WYOMING OH
PREFERENCE
RIGHT, ISSUE
14,000 BOWIE MEN TO
HUMES FOR CHRISTMAS
Special to The Vfici.
Cbiy^nne, Wyo., Dw. 22.—The
row about preference right loaning
of state lands for oil and gas de
velopment, that liaa gone to the
court* In Oklahoma, hua sprung
up In Wyoming.
Whether "resident citizens anil
taxpayers" of Wyoming had a'
preference right to lease, over the
non-residents of the state, Is the
problem for this stute'a board. No
rule has been adopted thus inr,
and It will be up to a court Ue
clslon to settle the Issue.
Wyoming's statute governing
state lunde ,ln the first sentence,
says the board must lease all
"lands belonging to the slate In
such a manner and to such par-
ties as shall Inure to the greatest
benefit and seeuro tho greatest
revenue to the state." This lit
erally, means the person who pays
the highest bonus for the lease.
A following clause In tho law,
however, says "preference In nil
cases of application for leases
shall be given bidders who are
resident clt Irens and taxpayers of
the state."
Demand for state-owned oil
lands Is growing steadily, nnd set-
tlement of the question must be
Immediate.

"Perfectly Effective.”
'Of course It wkh preferable to
have the guns shoot American am-
munition," seid ltorle, "but I've
been tohl the army line practically
no machine guns and the training
ramps only a few. There Lewis
guns have been killing people
right nlong. They’re perfectly ef
fcctlve. They would have oeen
hotter than no guns. And the
Dr.""nlng guns could have been
aubstltuted when ready."
Borta's testimony figured the
totnl of the army’s machine guns
at 50,000.
rieneral Crozler testified Amerl
can troops In France were get-
ting their machine guna from
France and England while the
fow machine guns In cantonments
In this country were of three
mnkes, Home of them French.
Borlo anld lie undorstoort rlils gov-
ernment had paid $1,250,000 to
Browning. Inventor of tho gun, for
his patent rights for the duration
of the war.
"Do you think the government
would pay that much money for
a gun that had never been tested
under actual war conditions?" he
waa asked.
No Test, Hill Money Paid.
"Well, the gun has never been
tested and I know the money
was paid," said Borlo.
Asked on whose advice this was
done, Borle mild tho chief of the
ordnance department and othere
connected with him.
"Secretary of War Baker, then
In reallty7" aaked Chamberlain.
Borlo eald he "nupposcd so."
“Cut out the red tope, put a
homan like Schwab or Farrell In
charge, tell him to drive the thing
thru. In other words, create a
ministry of munitions or we will
never get anywhere," declared
llorte.
Conetant changes In design,
most of them minor, but enough
to rales the devil with the manu-
facturer," are made by the de-
partment, Borle said. Thlrty-e.ght
minor changes were made with-
in elx wocks In the design of
motor truck frames Borles’ com-
pany was making nnd none of
them Improved tho frames mate-
rially. He said when the contract
was let, ho supposed the design
had been standardised and would
not need to be change)!.
Lewi* Attack* Croxler.
Responsibility for the rifle and
ordnance shortage In American
army was laid on General Croxler,
chief of ordnance, today by Colonel
Isaac Lewis, Inventor of Ihe Lewie
mnchlne gun, In testimony before
the senate military affair* commit-
tee.
"Goneral Croxler Is responsible
more than any other man, for the
obsolete equipment and the lack of
any equipment of the army," saM
Lewis.
In a dramatic declaration that
America was not fighting the battle
of the allies, but tho battle of Amer-
ica, Lewis declared It to be "a
shame and an outrage" that Ameri-
can troops abroad havs to beg ar-
tlllsry from France, "already near
bankruptcy and bled white."
Never llad Fair Trial.
The former West Pointer, who
saw his mnchlne gun rejected by
the American wur department and
accepted as one of the pet weapons
of the allies, told the commltteo his
gun never received a fair trial hore.
"I'm not here to tell tho story of
the Lewis gun In great detail," Bald
Colonel lewis. "It's telling Its own
story today, on every battlefield In
Europe. The only Zeppelin* that
the British have brought down were
brought down by Lewis guns.
Lewis said that for tl’* sake of
his two sons, now with Pershing In
France, and for the "sake of all our
eons who will be there before this
terrible war la over," faster prog-
ress should have been made In
equipping the army.
An Old Fight.
Lewis admitted he had made
public charges against General
Crozler 10 or 15 years ago.
"Colonel, what waa the reason
for tho opposition In the ordnance
department to tho Lewla gun?' lie
waa asked.
"They want to kill It; they want
to tuke the label off of It. but they
will never do It," he shouted.
The I-owls and heavy Vickers, he
declared, would be the only ma-
chine gun types to survive the
present war. The Browning gun,
with the aid of "official nursing,
he declared, was able to pass tests,
but ho prophesied It would never
stand actual testa, claiming It
would "hang" under continued
work.
Waa Refused a Test.
The colonel then roverted to an-
other Instance In August, 1012,
when he was refused permission
to try out his gun nt army manue-
vora In Connecticut.
"In response to a request from
General Scrlven, of the signal corps
lo try my gun out on an airplane.
Bald Lewis, "I had two guns made
at my own expense and I offered
to send my son to pilot tho flying
machine. This waa before a gun
had ever been mounted on an nlr-
plane either hore or abroad.
"General Crozlor. however, pro-
tested and refused to furnish am-

was only u picture, u "figment of
imagination."
Millions on a "Reject."
That General Crozler had spent
million* trying out the lionet-
Merrier machine gun, which waa
later dlMcarded, waa charged by
Lewla.
Lewis said he once went over
Crozler’s head and offered ids gun
to General Wood, then chief of
staff. At the meeting of the
fortification* hoard, of which Wood
waa chairman, Wood wa* absent
and Crozler, ex officio officer, pre-
siding, again turned him down.
He then cited different ordnance

"A range finder for coast nr

posed by Croxler but finally wa*

Lewla.
Disgusted at hi* failure* here,
Lewla *ald he went to Europe to
live in 1913.
"I was done with the U. S.,"
he said. Then he recited how a
