WILL FIGHT THE OIL. TRUST
ENGLISH SYNDICATE SECURES
NEW PATRoLEUM FIELD.
Option On 100000 Acres of Land In
Indian Territory--seventeen Wells
Are Now In Operation.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 15.-The
Journal says: S. c. Rutan of Chicago,
representing an English syndicate, who
is in the city, claims that he has OBJ
tanned an option on 100000 acres OF land
in the Cherokee Nation, in the northern
part of the Indian territory in the re-
Gently discovered petroleum fields. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Ruter, the condition is
that the leases shall be closed within
ten days.
Major Graham. an ex-officer of the
army and an English capitalist, is at
the head of the syndicate. The capital
lists back of it include many of the
wealthiest men in England who have
had experience in the European fields.
Mr.. Rutan says the present company
of which he is an official, has men back
of it whose wealth would easily aggre-
gate $250,000000. 1t is independent of
the Standard Oil company and expects
to compete with that company, not only
in the markets of America, but of Eu-
rope. Tank line steamers of 1000 tons
burden have been built and are in the
hands of the company.
They will run from Port Arthur and
other gulf ports to European countries.
1t is claimed the plan is practically GER
tain to go through and that the steam
ers will be running within few
months. Seventeen wells are already
in operation and the rigs for several
more will be built as soon as the syn
dictate secures control.

POLICE AND FIRE BILL.
Municipal Laws Committee Begins
Work On Ordinances.


Work On Ordinances.
The municipal laws committee met
in the private office of Chief Pratt last
night and. with the assistance of City
Attorney Hall, his assistant, Mr.. Stew
art, and the chiefs of the two depart
ments. prepared draft for a new or
dinance governing the fire and police
departments. The proposed ordinance
is, of course, in accordance with the
law recently passed by the legislature,
and the material change from the pres
ent law is that the chiefs are given
absolute power to discharge subordi-
mates. This feature is intended to rem
edy the multitude of complications
Which have resulted from the present
system When patrolmen and firemen
have been suspended, only to seek re-
course in the courts and obtain pay
during their time of suspension. There
are, of course, a good many details in
the proposed ordinance, but all are of
rather secondary Importance, the
main change being in giving the chiefs
practically absolute control of their re-
spective departments.
When that portion of the ordinance
relating to the fire department came
up, Chief Devine suggested that au-
thority be given Kim to arrest obstrep-
erous persons at fires, contending that
in good many cases the fires occurred
in remote districts and the police de-
partment was not always represented.
The new ordinance, like the old, vests
the fire chief with authority to call on
citizens at all fires, and, in harmony
with this, Mr.. Devine very appropriate
ly suggested that in case anyone re-
fused to obey orders, the officer in
charge should possess authority to ar
rest.
City Attorney Hall thought it I'M
wise to insert such g. clause, for the
reason that the chief of the fire de-
partment has full authority to call
upon the police department in case of
fires, and, further. that if such a clause
was inserted, it might. lead to a great
many complications, Persons might be
arrested, confined in prison and finally
seek recourse for Illegal confinement.
This provision, therefore, was left out.
After going over the old ordinance
and making such provisions and
amendments as authorized by the leg
islative enactment, the committee in
structed the city attorney to make
draft, which will be submitted to the
council next Tuesday night, and in all
probability passed, as the state law
provides that such an ordinance must
be enacted within fifteen days after
the former takes effect.
