 Pipe Lines.
STRINGENT REGULATIONS PREPARED
Interior Department Arranges to Re- tain Complete Supervision of All Pipe Line Companies Through a System of Permits.--No Discrim- ination VIII be Allowed.

Washington, Dec 26.-Secretary the Standard Oil company from ob- taining control of the pipelines in the Indian territory and Oklahoma
 Before a pipeline can be constructed in either territory, according to an act of congress. the consent of the secretary of the interior must be op- tained. Several companies recently have applied for right of way through these territories, some of which were strongly suspected by Secretary Hitchcock of being affiliated with the trust. In order to control the situa- tion he has had prepared stringent regulations containing provision which will give the interior depart ment complete supervision Of pipe line companies. This provision is as follows:
 Ii is hereby an express condition of the acceptance of a permit or permIs- sion to build or operate pipeline and appurtenance under threse regulations that if at any time the secretary of the interior shall be satisfied that any of the provisions of these regulations or of any amendment or changes thereof hereafter established, have been or are being violated the said secretary of the interior, after ten days notice to the owner or owners of such pipeline or his intention to do so shall have authority summarily to suspend, cancel or revoke said per- mission to construct or operate sucn pipeline, pumping stations and stor- age tanks and 1t is further provided and made an express condition of the acceptance of such permission that the secretary of the interior shall as any time have power so to suspend, cancel or revoke such permission in case he should be satisfied that sucn pipeline is involved in any transac- tion tending improperly to regulate the price. supply or distribution of oil or to bring about such combination of such line interests as shall be in sub stantial violation of the intent of the sections hereinbefore set forth. And upon such suspension, cancel. lation or revocation of permission and during the period of it's suspension the secretary of the interior shall have power to place in charge of such pipeline and it's appurtenaRces a per son to be designated by him. wiio shall be accountable to him and shall manage and operate the same under his direction.
 The regulations also provide that no pipeline company which purchases oil shall discriminate between the diff ferent producers in the prices paid
 for similar grades of oil. It is pro- | vided that the secretary of the in terior or his duly accredited repre-
 sentative shall have access at any and all times to all books. accounts, rec
 ords. papers and physical properties
 of such pipelines and of the com
 panies or individuals owning or leas.
 ing such lines.
 The first pipeline to be constructed
 under these regulations will be the
 one projected by the Mellon interests
 of Pittsburg. It Is to extend from
 Bartlesville through the Indian terri-
 tory to Port Arthur, Tex.

A crowd soon gathered and succeeded in extin- gushing the flames, but not, how ever, until considerable damage was done. Several fine caskets and collins in the undertaking de- partment were destroyed and 9 number of others badly damaged Some farming implements and other things were also badly dan- aged, and the total loss will reach about S750.

''TIGE" AND THE PROHI
|. Uncle John Refers to Pearson's Old Dog Tige" and Asks
 Some Questions.
To The Newark Journal:

1 see that the RfOnlS are ueIef- mined to keep up the old discus sion, therefore, l ask for space Tn The Journal that 1 may elucldate, as we'll as lubricate their ideas, If they have any. My friend Pear son was out about three weeks, presumable to catch his second wind, judging by the length of his last article. It Is so voluminous that I have to take it by para graphs.
 Paragraph l, tells something of one of his horses that he says balks sometimes. Sometimes horses seem to have more judg- ment than the driver, and object to being driven into mud hole when they see that they could go around 1t better. My friend should make 'horseology' one of his studies. He also claims to have owned a dog by the name of ''Tige" (which is very interesting reading in a prohi discussion) that got to be an awful liar, therefore, 1 may refer to the old dog oeca- sionally in this essay. Now we will take into consideration para graph 7. In this my frieud looks up in despair and asks The Jour nal readers if they think that in terrogations, criticism, or testing, is argument. 1 say that 1t Is sometimes appropriate. 1 pre- .sume that you remember what that great philosopher Benjamin Franklin said. l will not quote his words on you now, but will say, answer a friend according to his comprehension. Now for par agraph 3. Nothing in it. Moth ing answered. No new argument Therefore not worthy of notice
 In paragraph I, my friend wants to run clear of Theology, which IS we'll for him. He says that 1 asked hlm bluntly as to his position relative to divine life. This 1 deny, and call his attention to the habits of old ''Tige. Par agraph is as thin as the skin of a maiden's dream, without as much substance as the dream itself. Therefore it is 'tabIed". Para graph 6, my friend says that l said that Many preachers" had decided that Hell was only a myth, etc. l deny saying Preachers in my former essay, and call your attention to the dog again.
 Paragraphs [, $ and 9 seems to be some kind of sermon, and 1 am not scholar enough to tell whether 1t is Prohi-ic, Hebrayic or Arabic. As they do not touch the subject of discussion we will not mention them.
 1 In paragraph 10 my friend says Aaat he is not much concerned aDout Hell. He says, however, that in justice to humanity, there must be a Hell. Expressions like 7 the above surely makes the God ess of Justice hide her face in shame. Paragraphs Il and 12, sermon continued. Nothing re- garding the matter at issue.
 Paragraph 13. In this he says: If there is no Hell we have no authority for Heaven. ' 1 won- der if all prohis think that Hell is the foundation of Heaven. He says further, that we have as much evidence that there is a Heaven and a He'll as we have that there is an Earth. Inall probability he
