all to go for naught, and that hereafter

MAKE A PROTEST
Uncle Sam Resents venezuela's
Recent Insult.
LODGES vfRY VIGOROUS PROTEST


The state department., through Min.
lister Looinis, recently lodged u most
vigorous protest to the Venezuelan n
government against further inter
ference with Mr.. Baiz, the United
States consular at Barcelona, Vene-
zuela. IL knows nothing Of the last
reported infringement Of his liberty,
but II is presumed that the affair is
connected directly with the troubles
which led to the first protest.
1gnatiO NJ. Baiz Is not IA citizen of
the United States, n fact that may add
to the difficulty which our government
will experience in protecting him, as
II Ia determined to do.
He was born in st. Thomas and Is a
Danish citizen so far as IL known here,
but having IN exequater issued by the
Venezuelan government recognizing
him rs United States consular agent,
the state department has decided that
he Is entitled to the protection Of the
United States government. IL ap-
pears that he is engaged in business
and became involved IN trouble with
Venezuelan military by resisting an
attempt to collect forced loan from
him. More than II month ago the state
department forwarded its instructions
To Minister Loomis to represent to the
Venezuelan government that these
annoying interferences with our Off
cial must cease, but So far no results
have appeared.

SOME INFORMATION
Dennis Flynn Talks About the New Land
Along the Rock Island.

Dennis Flynn Talks About tn. New Land
Along the Rock island.
Representative Flynn OF Oklahoma
who is the author Of all bills relating
TO the opening of the Kiowa-Comanchs
Wichita Indian reservation, In u re.
cent interview, has given some valua-
BILE information upon the situation
relative to the opening which may in
terest the reader. Among other things
Mr.. Flynn says:
1.-The Wichita reservation Is east aud
north Of the Kiowa reservation, and
there will probably be 900, 900 acres Of
IL subject to homestead entry. There
will be about a,UOO, 900 acres Of kiowa
land for homestead entry. in both Of
these reservations sections l3, 1919
and 80 are reserved for school and
other other purposes for the uses OF
the future state OF Oklahyna. This
will be leased by the Oklahoma school
land board consisting Of the governor
and secretary Of the territory. In
both the reservations there must also
be taken out .l2O, 900 acres for Indian
allotmeDts and grazing lands, In add.
tion to school and other reservations
which have mentioned.
"A bill has Just passed the lower
house Of congress which provides that
there shall be no more races for town
lots, but that before the opening Of
these reservations the president shall
divide them into counties, fixing the
county lines and reserviug 800 acres as
near as practicable to the center OF
each county for county seat purposes.
These lands will be sold on the day OF
the opening, or on subsequent days, to
the highest bidder, no one being al
lowed To purchase more than one resi-.
dent and one business lot In each
town. The proceeds Of these sales go
to the county in which the county seat
is located"
"ln my Judgment all of these lands
will be opened to settlement about
August |. How they will be opened is
not at this time settled. A great many
are advocating II change from the old
race horse style.
"A great many people get these
lands mixed with the lands In the Ind
ian territory. These lands are located
in southwestern Oklahoma and adjoin
Texas. Ano person who enters 100
acres must, in addition TO residence
of fourteen months to five years. also
agree TO pay the government Sl.2b per
acre for the land.
These lands are good grazing and
agricultural lands, and the person who
secures 100 acres Of them can feel sat.
isficd."
Mr. Flynn states that this reserva-
ton will bc opened up about August /,
and IL the reader is Interested in the
matter there Is plenty of time to get
all the information needed.
The territory to be settled is easily
reached by rail. as the Rock Island
runs through the strip and the Santa
Fe and other lines close to il.

tors and proof-readers, whose situation
was critical. They rushed for the win
dows leading to the escapes, and but
three succeeded In gaining the roof Of
an adjoining building. Long ladders
were raised as quickly as the network
of wires over the street would permit,
but before n ladder could be placed in
position, the men had dropped through
II skylight in II building roof and
reached places of safety. Except in
the press room in the basement there
was practically no fire In the building
below the fifth story, No one was in
the press room when the fire started,
except the fireman, who had not been
seen up To "a late hour.
1t took three hours to drown the fire.
The three victims, all proof-readers,
were suffocated before they had time
TO reach the fire escapes. Those who
found the bodies were obliged to jump
several feet to the roof of the ad join
