fbee insisted On in,dependent action The
Spanish said their reason for asking for
a joint Investigation was to clear them
selves of any change of. blame in the mat
ter. Consul General Lee and Capt. sigsoee
went to the PALACE ppd the matter was
finally amicablya ARRANGED. =.

willingly have accepted the offer, but COM

possible at present to, permit any diver to
go down.
Spanish Authorities Objected.
| On inquirtng in other sources find that
the Spanish authorities object to American
divers examining the ship. unless accom-

THE STAMP Is NECESSARY.
False Report That has Caused Bank
Officials Much Annoyance.

officials Much Annoyance.
1t has been enormously stated
quite generally by the press, that
check presented by depositor for
the withdrawal of money to his
credit was exempt from the stamp
law. The circulation ofthis report
has caused bank officials in this
city considerable annoyance, and in
order to satisfy all concerned, J. K.
Wallace OF the Farmers and Pro-
ducers Bank, wrote the treasury
department at Washington in re-
gard to the matter, and received
this reply under date of November
goth.
"In answer to your question as
to the liability of depositors using
unstamped checks, you are advised
that any check presented by de-
position for the withdrawal of funds
to his credit must have a two cent
stamp affixed" j. N. Wilson,
Deputy Commissioner of Internal
Revenue.

The Review reporters eyes were
made to bulge from their facial
fastenings by the sight of a 81 900
bill at the Farmers and Producers
Bank. Bills of this denomination
are a rarity even in this prosperous
community and the sight of one
has tendency to cause reflection
on this peerless government of ours
with the credit to transform a
worthless piece of paper into any
value 1t may choose.
This bill is one of ten which were
in the possession of the bank, and
is considerably worn by the hand
ling and attention it has received.

twrice as much as the report which

we'll is now producing at the rate
of $50 barrels a day, and is unques-
tiouably the best one ever struck
in that territory. This rich strike
will give great impetus to devel-

tory of the Wilson run territory
was drilled In Saturday afternoon.
This is the United States Oil COM
pany's Ullman No. 3 and it was
showing up at the last report for a
production of 200 barrels a day.
The importance of this development
is very great asl its location is ia
vorable for an extension to the
northeast, and ultimately the be-
ginning of a new pool.
The stiff price of oil is making
the acquisition of ten barrel terri
tory, or even less, very desirable.
Many of the most extensive opera

This gentleman informed US that
some Woodsfeld, O., parties had
large block of territory leased in
the immediate vicinity of this well,
and that Barnsdall & Co. were
negotiating for the same. Uptil
this deal is accomplished the pro-

quiet. The drilling now Is only
being done during the day which
is evidence that the company is in
no hurry to complete the well.
