STANDARD OIL IS HIT
INDIAN TERRITORY FIELD PRO
TECTED BY HITCHCOCK.
EXPECTED TO REVOKE LEASES.
It Is Claimed That the Standard Used
Other Methods to Control Situation
After Gobbling Up All the Valuable
Oil Land.
Muskogee. I. T., May 3.—It has be-
come evident here that Secretary
Hitchcock is determined to keep the
Standard Oil Company from gaining
control of Indian Territory oil fields.
It seems probable that the secretary
will revoke the leases on 40,000 acres
of oil lands In the Creek and Cherokee
nations, and turn the land over to the
Indian allottees to lease to whom they
will.
The operators In Indian Territory
who are supposed to represent the
Standard Oil interests, and whom the
cecretary of the interior is after, are
the Prairie Oil and Gas Company, in
the capacity of a producer and con-
sumer of crude oil; Guffey & Galey,
the Pittsburg oil operators and poli-
ticians; L. N. Barnsdall, a Pittsburg
operator, and their various sub-agents.
The interior department, believing
that these companies and their agents
were gobbling up the field for the
Standard, recently closed operations
on the leases controlled by them and
the wells are still shut down. The
department has ruled that no person
or corporation can hold more than
4,800 acres of land under oil leases.
The Prairie Oil and Gas Company
and its principals, picked out 4,800
acres each of the best oil land they
could get. The next move, it is said,
was to establish sub-agents and dum-
mies, each of whom took the limit in
acreage allowed by the regulations of
the department. In this way it is
claimed the Standard Oil Company
plotted to capture Indian Territory
oii fields.
It is necessary for each person or
corporation taking a lease to make a
financial showing that be has $40,000
deposited in a bank to carry on opera-
tions. It is claimed that many of the
agents and dummies who had abso-
lutely no financial means, made affi-
davit that they were worth that
amount.
It is stated positively by an opera- j
tor that at least 10,000 acres of leases
were taken by John F. Furlong, E. P. }
Whitcomb and others, alleged to be
agents of the Standard, for which the
allottees received 15 cents an acre, or
less, bonus on leases worth at least
$250,000.
It is claimed that after gobbling up
all the valuable oil land possible, (he
Standard began to use other methods
to control the situation. Independ-
ents say they find it extremely diffi- I
cult to get oil into the pipe lines, and |
they get 52 cents a barrel for the j
same kind of oil that brings $1.50 in J
Pennsylvania.
It is said on good authority that the
Standard Oil Company is not the only
one suspected of trying to grab the oil
fields. It is claimed that Richard C.
Ad^ms, Delaware attorney, controls
more than 4,800 acres, and that he has
sold several thousand acres of leases
to the Standard Oil Company.
STRIKE CENTERS GROW CALMER, j HCOUNT WlTTE RESIGNED!
CANNON GIVES THEM HOPE.
Significant Remark on Statehood to
Frantz and McGuire.
Washington. May 1.—Speaker Can-
non made a significant remark, which
Is widely construed as auguring fa-
vorable action on the statehood bill.
Gov. Frantz and Delegate McGuire
called on the speaker and' discussed
the situation with him, calling his at-
tention to the growing impression
that there would be no statehood leg-
islation and urging him to do some-
thing toward passing the bill. The
speaker replied that statehood will
doubtless come in due season, and
then added:
"What's the difference whether you
get It now or by the 15th of June?"
Both the Oklahomans came away
with the same conviction that so
many members of congress have gain-
ed after discussing statehood with the
leader of the house, that statehood is
assured and will be realized before
the session is over.
FRENCH AGITATORS TAKEN ON
STRENGTH OF PAPERS.
Paris. May 2.—The Paris police ar-
rested M. GrifTuels, secretary of the
General Federation of Labor, the re-
sponsible organizer of the proposed
May day demonstrations; M. Hiber-
tcre. a newspaper man, and Major
Feuillanta Bonapartist, formerly of
the Imperial Guards. In addition
Count Durand De Beauregard was ta-
ken into custody at Nice. Arrests
were also made at other places and
warrants were issued for the arrest
of M. Levy, secretary of the Confed-
eration of Labor, and M. Fromentin.a
wealthy anarchist, both of whom were
found to have fled from this city. Ail
the prisoners are charged with com-
plicity in organizing a rebellion and
with intriguing with anarchists.
The arrests began early in the
morning, the charges being based on
papers seized during the recent po-
lice searches. Judge Andre summon-
ed the police commissioners of the
Central districts of Paris and direct-
ed each of them to proceed with a
squad of police and make the arrests
in various sections of the city. At the
same time telegraphic orders were
to proceed with arrests at Nice, Brest
and other points. M. Uriffuels, w ho Is
the principal labor leader, was found
at his house and was taken into cus-
tody, but his associate, M. Levy, was
not located.
Count I)e Beauregard Is the head
of the supposed plot recently un-
earthed.
Henry Riber Is editor of L'Autorite,
a Bonapartist organ.
Two additional warrants have been
issued, but the names of the persons
to be arrested will be withheld until
they are in the hands of the police.
The men at labor headquarters hero
are stunned by the arrests, and espe-
cially as the managers of proposed
demonstration have withdrawn from
further activity, which is causing gen-
eral discouragement in labor circles.
The government officials declare
that the arrests will break the back-
bone of the violent element.
The strike centers outside of Paris
are calm.
N. Lepine, the perfect of police,
conferred during the day with the
commanders of the troops and gave
final Instructions for the military
occupation of the main points in
Paris beginning early.
The troops will receive two pack-
ages of cartridges and two days' ra-
tions.
GENERAL BOOTH'S PANACEA.
Aged Salvationist Says Work Is a
Cure for Every III.
London, May 1.—General Booth, at
the last meeting of the Salvationists
at the Crystal Palace, unfolded the
secret of his success, as well as the
secret for his excellent health.
"Often," he declared, "people say to
me that I have done a lot of hard
work and should retire and take a
lot of rest. That is not my idea of
happiness. There is no pleasure like
work; it is the panacea for almost
every ill. I have worked hard and
earnestly for sixty years and if God
spares me ten years more or twen-
ty years more I shall devote them all
to the work I love. Should He call
me. I shall go feeling that I have at
any rate done my best. It will be
for you to carry on the work. What
have you done with your time? What
are you going to do with it? Dedi-
cate it to the service of humanity and
joy will be young."
General Booth spoke with a vigor
astonishing in one at his advanced
age, and he laughingly acknowledged
the enthusiastic plaudits of .thousands
of his followers and admirers as he
walked about accompanied by his
staff officers.
LOS ANGELES LOSES SHRINERS.
Imperial Potentate Collins Stands by
His Order.
Toronto, Ont., May 1.—Imperial Po-
tentate Harry Collins, of the Mystic
Shriners, declined to cancel his order
calling off the convention of the or-
der to have been held at Los Angeles
on May 7. Instead, he has called a
meeting for Chicago.
J. H. I'earman, a messenger from
the Los Angeles Shriners, who asked
that the meeting be held, vainly tried
to get Mr. Collins to alter his de-
cision.
It is probable that. If the looting
continues, the authorities will be
forced to revert to the system of al-
lowing no one to enter the city except
those who have passes explaining
their business and their right to be
here.
INSURANCE RATES RAISED.
Increase of 25 Per Cent in Congested
Centers in the East.
Philadelphia, April 30.—As a result
of the San Francisco conflagration the
Fire Association of Philadelphia ad-
vanced its premium rates in the con-
gested central district of this city 25
per cent. The American Fire Insur-
ance Company announced that it had
reinsured in the Commercial Union
Assurance Company of England its
entire outstanding risks except the
perpetual insurance.
President Irvin, of the fire associa-
tion, also said he had ordered a 25
per cent advance In premiums on
risks of this company in the business
section of New York and similar ac-
tion will be taken elsewhere. With
the advance in premiums the fire
association also reduced from 15 to
10 per cent the commission allowed
insurance brokers.
8,000 CARLOADS EN ROUTE.
San Francisco. April 30. — It was
str.ted that temporary buildings for
many of the wholesale firms would be
completed within fifteen days. The
wholesalers have reports of 8,000 car-
loads of goods now in transit between
Chicago and San Francisco and of
2,000 more carloads ready for deliv-
ery as soon as the congestion in the
railroad yards can be relieved.
The Union Iron works, where many
of the best vessels In the United
States navy were built, and the Ris-
don Iron works, both of which escap-
ed the fire, will reopen at once, giv-
ing employment to many thousands
of workmen.
THE EMPEROR MUST CHOOSE
St. Petersburg. May 2—While the
Associated Press is unable absolute-
ly to confirm the story that Emperor
Nicholas has accepted Premier Witte's
resignation, it can be affirmed that
Count VVitte has again asked the em-
peror to choose between him and In-
terior Minister Durnovo.
Humors of Count Witte's retire-
ment, coupled with the assertion that
the emperor would appoint him presi-
dent of the council of the empire,
have been current, but they have been
so frequently put in circulation of late
that they have attracted but little at
tention. especially in view of the fart
that Count Witte was believed to have
definitely downed his rival. M. Pur
novo. It appears, however, that
Premier Witte's enemies have been
| only shamming until the loan nego-
tiations could be fnlshed atri 'hat
with the consummation of th loan
| the court intrigue for the overthrow
of the premier and the restoration of
| M. Durnovo to power were resumed.
| One of the chief noints of Count
Witte's strength during his long
i struggle for supremacy was the em-
1 peror's firm belief that no financial aid
would bo given Russia by foreign
I bankers if the premier retired. With
the loan made Count Witte's enemies
, instantly set to work to convince Km-
peror Nicholas that his usefulness was
ended and that he could be discarded
| like an old boot.
The Associated Press is in position
to state that the count is utterly dis-
' gusted with the turn of events.
TORNADO IN NEBRASKA-
MANY PEOPLE INJURED
Oxford. Neb . May ?. — A tornado ;
did much damage in Funnas county.
Telegraph and telephone wires are
prostrated in the territory covered bv
the storm, and only meager reports
have been obtained, but it. is known
that several residences were wrecked
and a number of persons injured, al
though no fatalities have been report
ed. The most seriously injured are:
Bertha Hartman, 12 years old; in
ternal injuries; condition serious.
Mrs. Annie Hartman, painful
bruises.
Mrs. Rosa Drews, arm broken.
Fred Drews, bruised.
Vnknown man. crushed.
The storm came from the south-
west. and, so far as known, the first
house struck was that of John Rey-
nolds, about five miles west of Ox-
ford. This was destroyed, but the in-
mates escaped serious injury The
homes of Fred Hartman and Fred
Drews were next demolished. Here
the people were not so fortunate,
nearly all being more or less hurt and
one at least receiving injuries from
which recovery is doubtful. The resi-
dences of Fred Loos and T. J. Cook
were wrecked, as wire the school
houses in the Buffalo and Morning
View districts, besides scores of barns
and other farm buildings.
ToleYlo. O. May 1.—Alleging that
the Standard Oil Company and IT
affiliated companies have a secret
trade agree ment by which they con-
trol production and transportation of
oil and gas. Prosecutor L. W. Waeh-
enheimer of Lucas county filed suit ■
in the circuit court asking revocation
of their charters and dissolution ol'
the illegal agreement. In addition to
the Standard, the following corpora- |
tions are named as defendants:
The Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern, Toledo and Ohio Central.
Hocking Valley Railroad Company;
Standard Oil Companies of Ohio,
Indiana, New York and New Jersey:
Buckeye Pipe Line Company, Solad
Refining Company, Ohio Oil Com- 1
pany. Northwestern Ohio National ,
Gas Company. Union Tank Company
of Pennsylvania; Independent Pipe
Line Company of Indiana, the Na-
tional Transit Company of New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania Oil Company of
Pennsylvania, and the South Penn j
Oil Company of Pennsylvania.
In the petition it is alleged that the
production of oil was reduced for the j
purpose of increasing the price to
consumers. It is set up that this re-
duction amounts to 50 per cent, while
the price of gas to the consumer has
been increased 100 per cent. Refer-
ence to the alleged trade past is sen-
sational enough in that the change is
made that the companies named as
defendants have bound themselves
not to sell or transport oil or gas be-
low a standard rate. Attention is di-
rected to the railroads, asking wheth-
er the rebates are given directly or
indirectly to the oil companies and
whether the oil concerns have not
been given pipe line rights on the
railroads.
It was developed that Prosecutor
Wacheimer filed the suits against the
Standard Oil Companies and other
companies on behalf of General El-
liott. This is specially significant to-
gether with the announcement from
the prosecutor that the case will be
prosecuted with all possible dispatch.
The fact that the state is behind the
Toledo proseculing attorney in the
action gives it strength which other-
wise it would not possess.
Judge Haufelberger. of the law firm
of Doyle Lewis, which represents a
majority of the capitalists named as
defendants, announced that the case
would be fought to the bitter end by
the corporations named as defend-
ants.
"We will be there to meet the issues
when they come up," he emphatically
declared. You can inform the pub-
lic that the case will not go by de-
fault. Further than that I can say
nothing now in the absence of formal
notice of the case."
TURKEY NOW CLAIMS A
GOOD SLICE OF EGYPT
London. May 1. — The patience of
Great Britain with Turkey over the
Tabah affair is about exhausted, and
it was understood at the foreign
office that if the Sultan does not soon
accede to the British demands there
will be another demonstration before
a Turkish port within a short time.
Some months have elapsed since the
Egyptian government discovered
that Turkish troops had occupied
Tabah, heretofore considered to be an
unimportant port at the head of the
Gulf of Akabah.
Turkey, so Great Britain believes,
occupied Tabah because she feared
that Egypt would extend a short line
of railroad to that port, would obtain
control of the Gulf of Akabah. But
Great Britain claims that this is far
from being the contention of Egypt.
As soon as the occupation of Tabas
was discovered Egypt asked Turkey
for an explanation, and the Sultan in
reply contended that Tabah was with-
in his empire. This was disputed,
but Great Britain offered to submit
the question of the boundary limita-
tion to a commission. Turkey in the
meantime to withdraw her troops.
The Sultan declined this offer, but of
fered to negotiate with Lord Cromer,
the British agent at Cairo.
The British government acceded to
this, but was astounded to learn when
the negotiations opened that the
Turkish commissioner at Cairo, in be-
half of the Sultan, Maimed half of the
Sinat peninsula and stubbornly ad-
hered to his demand. Egypt refused,
so the negotiations were broken off
and the foreign office here will take
up the case with the Porte. Thus far
no communication has been sent to
Constantinople on the subject, Great
Britain being first anxious to ascer-
tain whether the Sultan authorized
the Turkish commissioner at Cairo to
claim half the Sinai peninsula.
TEXAS CYCLONE VICTIMS
ARE NOW ASKING AID
Fort Worth. Tex., April 30—Thir-
teen people were killed and a num-
ber seriously injured by a tornado
which swept over the little town of
Bellevue, Texas. The place is practi-
cally wrecked. After the storm had
razed every building, fire broke ou'.
and completed the work of deslru**
tion. Only four houses in the place
are reported to have escaped destruc-
tion or injury. The tornado covered
an area eight miles wide and de-
stroyed farm houses and crops.
A car load of provisions has been
sent from Fort Worth, and tents were
forwarded from Wichita Falls. The
property loss will probably reach
J300.000.
| Reports from Stoncburg say the
cotton gin there was wrecked by the
storm, and several residences were
damaged. No one was injured. Syd-
ney Webb, chairman of a relief com-
mittee organized at Bellevue, Tex,,
^has asked the Associated Press to
i give publicity to the following:
"Six hundred of our people are
homeless and practically destitute.
Thirteen were killed and a number
! seriously injured. The entire town is
J in a heap of ruins, the destruction be-
ing complete. Help of every kind is
needed, and this relief committee ap-
peals to the public for aid. The com-
j mittee requests that all contributions
, will be sent to W. D. Worshum & Co,
i Bankers, Henrietta, Texas."
TUNNELLED ARSENAL
PLOT OF ARMENIAN REVOLU-
TIONISTS MISCARRIED.
ATTEMPT TO ROB MAGAZINE.
Most Pretentious Example of Subter-
ranean Work in Revolutionary An-
nals Since the Day of the Terror-
ists of the Eighties.
Baku. Saucasla, May r>. — A daring
plot of Armenian revolutionists to rob
the magazine in the arsenal here,
guarded by the Salivansk regiment
and containing over a million rifle
cartridges, the entire reserve supply
for all the regiments composing the
garrison, has been accidentally dis
covered when the conspirators were
already on the verge of success. They
bored ,1 tunnel 700 feet long in the
direction of the arsenal. It was one
of the most pretentious examples of
subterranean work in revolutionary
annals since the days of the terror-
ists of the eighties. From the base-
ment of an Armenian house the revo-
lutionists worked their way under
several intervening residences to a
depth of twenty feet They construct-
ed a completely sided tunnel, roofed
it with planks and provided It with
electric light and electric bell service,
connected with the stations of the sev-
eral revolutionists on watch. Owing
to a slight miscalculation the tunnel
ers in burrowing upwards entered, not
the magazine, but an adjoining store
room in the arsenal, containing uni-
forms. Before they had time to recti-
fy their mistake the revolutionists
were accidentally discovered by an
officer, the alarm was given, and a
cordon of troops was immediately
thrown around the adjoining houses.
But owing to the length of the tunnel
tiie Armenian house from which the
conspirators started, was not suspect-
ed and they had ample time to escape
therefrom. The entrance to the tun-
nel was eventually discovered by vol-
unteers who entered it from the store
room and traced the subterranean
passage to Its source.
MAY DAY IN RUSSIA.
NO DISTURBANCES PLANNED UN-
TIL MAY 14.
St. Petersburg, May 3.—May Day
was celebrated only in Poland and
Finland. The socialists of he rest of
the empire, having decided to follow
the Russian calendar, attempted to
arrange demonstrations for May 14.
In Poland there is a complete strike,
affecting factories, stores, restaurants,
street, railways, cabs and newspapers,
but no disorder has been reached up
to a late hour. The? socialists of St.
Petersburg have ordered one day's
strike on May 11.
Warsaw. In order to prevent pro-
cessions. soldiers cut off the principal
streets and suburbs. Some collisions
between residents and soldiers occur-
red. and many of the former were
wounded with the butt ends of the
muskets. In Murs/.alkowska street a
soldier boxed the ears of Baron Ug-
ronvt, consul general of Austria-Hun-
gary. who was trying to pass the cor-
don. The consul general has com
plained to the governor general.
Valuable Mass of Gold and Silver.
San Francisco, May 5.— Amass of
gold and silver valued at $3,500, melt
ed by the Are in the stare of Tai Sing,
a ehinese merchant at Washington
and Dupont streets, and which had
disappeared from the ruins, has been
recovered by the police at Broadway
and Stockton streets, where it was
found hidden in the ruins.
The gold and silver was melted with
other metal articles.
Duke Should be Given His Divorce.
Newark. N. J., May 5.—Vice Chan-
cellor Pitney advised that a decree of
absolute divorce be granted to James
B. Duke, president of the American
Tobacco Company, in his suit against
Lillian Duke. He said the evidence
was overwhelmingly in favor of Duke
and that he could do r othing else than
recommend that Duke be given his
divorce.
Clark of Montana Will Leave Senate.
Butte, Mont., May 5. — In a signed
statement appearing in the Butte Min-
er, his own paper, Senator W. A.
Clark of Montana, announces that he
Is not a candidate for re-election to the
United States senate. He says he will
return to Montana to operate his in-
terests at the close of the present
term.
Results of Elections.
Buda Pest. May 5. — In nine dis-
tricts in Buda Pest, which hitherto
have never returned Kossuthites the
elections to the diet have resulted in
the return of Ave members of that
party. Three districts are still to be
heard from.
Effect Herring Business.
Gloucester. Mass.. May 5.—It is gen-
erally admitted that if New Found-
land fisheries bill becomes a law the
American frozen herring business will
be seriously affected.
DOWIE'S HEALTH IMPROVES.
CHANCE FOR RETAKING ZION
DOES NOT BRIGHTEN MUCH.
Chicago, May f . — John Alexander
Dowie is making little, if any pro-
gress in regaining a foot-hold among
his former followers in Zion City. The
"first apostle" has been in Zion City
for live days, and has held three meet-
ings in Shiloh tabernacle, but the
"faithful" are still loyal to their new
lead* r. General Overseer Wilbur Vo-
livo, and do not respond to Dowie's
calls for reinstatement in their favor.
Dowie's third meeting since his re-
turn from Mexico, for the purpose of
telling his side of the controversy,
was held in the tabernacle. Less than
300 Zionists attended the meeting, the
remainder of the inhabitants of the
city keeping away from the taber-
nacle iu obedience to the wishes of
Voliva. Dowie's discourse was along
the same lint's as on the two former
occasions, lie denied all the charges
that have been made against him. Mn.
Dowie was on the platform with him
and also addressed the meeting.
Dowie's health seems to be Improv-
ing. as he walked about the platform
while addressing the meeting.
WITTE STiLL HOLDS ON.
CZAR HAS NOT DEFINITELY AC*
CEPTED HIS RESIGNATION.
St. Petersburg, May «r> Much mys-
tification has been aroused by the fact
that Km peror Nicholas has not yet in
definite words accepted Count Witte's
resignation as premier. II seems that
Witte received a letter from the em-
peror thanking him for his zealous
and able services in the past and
Witte accepted this in connection with
his proffered resignation and the re-
port of M. (loremykin's appointment to
the premiership as being equivalent
to his dismissal.
The delay in the appearance of a
rescript accepting Witte's resignation
Is further cause for comment, and the
theory is advanced that the emperor
is still hesitating, in view of the gen-
eral expression of opinion in regard to
M. Goremykln, to discard the old
premier.
At the same time it is known posi-
tively thai Interior Minister Durnovos
resignation has been tendered.
PURELY SCIENTIFIC MARCH.
Large Force of Russians Going Down
Into China.
St. Petersburg, May 5. — Later de-
velopments increase the importance of
the Russian expedition to Mongolia
under Colonel Novltsky, which is to
leave St. Petersburg the middle of
May to survey the hitherto unexplor-
ed region between the manchurian
frontier and 1'rga. It is now announc-
ed that the expedition will consist of
not less than (10 officers, and that its
first work will be to make further sur-
veys for a railroad from Kiakhta to
Kalgan, and another route from ITrga
to Kirin, by which the eastern region
of Mongolia will be thoroughly sur-
vey d.
In this connection dispatches from
Pekin regarding the possibility of an
Anglo-Russian understanding on the
basis of hands off for Great Britain iu
Thibet and for Russia in Mongolia,
are read with interest. It is recalled
here that the Russian expedition to
Thibet which started the strife for
Liassa was first announced like this
one, to be for "purely scientific pur-
poses."
TOO MANY MECHANICS.
They Are Warned to Keep Away
From San Francisco.
San Francisco, May 5. — According
to I'. H. McCarthy, president of the
Builders' Trades Council, there is no
dearth of mechanics at this city. Be-
tween 2,000 and 2,100 men affiliated
with the council are registered, and
this number, he says will be more
than ample to handle current opera-
tions. He advises against mechanics
coming to San Francisco.
Regarding wages and hours. Mc-
Carthy has pronounced In a statement
that the council would not ratify the
slightest change of the previous stan-
dard, and that no advantage would be
taken of the people who contemplate
reconstructing buildings within the
near future.
For the first time In a quarter of ■<%
century San Francisco Is to have a
municipal chain gang. Unable to find
immediate quarters for misdemeanor
offenders, Chief of Police Dinan an-
nounced that until such time as the
police courts were prepared to deal
with this class of prisoners, they
should all be put to work on the city
streets. This order will apply particu-
larly to vagrants who have refused to
work when employment Is offered
them, and bunco men, who are al-
ready at work.
PARIS STRIKE BROKEN.
Paris, May 5.—The strike has ceas-
ed to present any general menace and
is now confined to scattered agita-
tions, which promise prolonged strug-
gles in several industries. Public at-
tention is now diverted to the elec-
tions to the chamber of deputies which
will be held next Sunday. These af-
ford an additional reason for the con-
tinuance of precautions, as the au-
thorities do not wish the contest to be
complicated by failure to maiutaia
order.
