OIL PRODUCERS PROTEST.
Objection to Methods Followed in
Leasing Indian Lands.

hearing was held this afternoon at 2
o'clock before the Secretary of ,he In
terror in order to give oil producers an
opportunity to express their objections to
the methods of the department in making
oil leases of Indian lands. The producers
were headed by Mr.. N V. V. Franchot
chairman of the committee of twenty four
representing the Mid-COntinent Oil Pro-
ducers' Association. which is said to in
clude three-fourths of the oil producers
of the Indian Territory.
The committee represented the sentf
ments of the producers who are operating
under leases for oil production on land
be onging to the Indians. They claim
that the present method of the depart
ment in prescribing the terms of these
leases is unbusinesslke and greatly ham
pers their operations because of a lack of
stability in the terms of the lease. The
lease is given for fifteen years, but they
compla n that the department prescribed
additional qualifications which put them
to increased expense. They declare that
gree of security only by operating under
term of such contracts. They stated that
they begin to operate under such leases.
and after having invested thousands of
do lars instructions are issued by the de-
partment prescribing conditions under
which they are to operate. greatly to their
embarrassment because of the added ex-
pense. which sets at naught all their CAL
culations made upon entering the con-

GoEBEL MURDER CASE.
Pardon Given Defendant Powers
Submitted to Court.

GEORGETOWN, Ky. November 12.-
When the case Of Caleb Powers. charged
with the murder Of Senator Goebel. was
called today many cf the important de-
tense witnesses who were absent yester-
day. causing a postponement OF the trial,
were present. Commonwealth Attorney
Franklin after the roll call of witnesses
announced that the prosecution was ready
to proceed AS soon as this announce
ment was made Maj. w. C. Owens. chief
counsel for Powers. said:
Before the defense answers ready We
desire to offer as a pea of abatement the
pardon given the defendant by Gov. w.
S. Taylor after the commission of the
crime"
Upon the request of Commonwealth At
torney Franklin this document was turned
over to the attorneys for the prosecution
who retired to examine It.
This is the same pardon that has been
produced at all the former trials and
which the courts have passed on.
Judge Morris overruled the motion Of
the defense to file the plea and pardon
after a vigorous objection by the prosecu-
ton. The court held that the validity OF
the pardon was not within Its jurisdiction,
as the court Of appells had already passed
upon that phase Of the question. The de-
fense, however. scored a point in securing
permission to make avowal OF the pardon,
thus getting that document in the record
over the emphatic protest of the prosecu
ton, which was allowed to file exceptions.

Mr.. Eells was appointed to the pension
bureau February 13. 1882. During his long
service he has seen many commission
ers come and go. w. w. Dudley was
commissioner at that time. and was fol-
lowed by Maj Clark, who made way for

FOREIGN MISSION PROBLEM.
Number of Field Workers May Be
Largely Reduced.

SEATTLE. Wash, November 12.-Be-
cause Of a debt of $s5, ,OO0 hanging over
the Methodist Episcopal board of foreign
missions. in session here, that body must
either retrenoh to the extent Of $4,000 in
making appropriations for the foreign
mission field. or violate a strict interpre-
tation of the laws of the church. which
say that the board shall not appropriate
more money than the income of the for
eign mission board during the previous
year. This condition is due to the sepa-
rating of the foreign and the home mis-
sions societies during the past church
year. The committee on general appro-
priation will report in favor of violating
the strict Interpretation of the law. and It
is expected its action will be fndorsed in
the general meeting. because a curtail-
ment of $4,000 In the income would mean
a vast reduction in the number of mission
aries In all foreign fields.
The conference appropriated $4,000 to
the support of missionary bishops, $4,000
to the support of retired missionaries and
the widows and orphans of missionaries,
s25, 600 for incidental needs of missions,
1900 for the publication fund. SO, 900 for
young peoples work. $40, 30 for the sal
aries OF field secretaries, S33, 800 for ad-
ministration purposes, and $4,000 for mis-
cellaneous uses.

WALSH TRIAL STARTED.
Little Progress Made on the First
Day

CHICAGO. November 1.-THE trial of
John R. Walsh, former president of the
defunct Chicago National Bank, on the
charge of misapplication of its funds.
began today in the United States district
court before Judge A. b. Anderson.
The indictment against Mr.. Walsh con-
tains 100 counts. The offense charged is
punishable by from FIVE to ten years
in prison. It Is believed the trial will
last about a month.
The chief issue in the case is whether
or not Mr.. Walsh used the banks funds
to aid his own enterprises. 1t is also
charged that Mr.. Walsh borrowed from
his own bank more than the legal
amount of ten per cent of the capital
stock. This latter question. however.
will not be touched upon at this trial.
The government alleges that Mr.. Walsh
substituted for the money it is charged
ne took from the bank securities of a
doubtful character. The defense will claim
that these securities were good and that
nobody ever lost dollar because of them.
The greater part of the day was consumed

husband, John J. Phillips, a wealthy coal
man, today at noon dismissed the pris-

AROUND THE CAPITOL.
New House Office Building to Be
Ready About Christmas.

The appearance of things around the
Capitol. inside and out. has been very
much improved during the past few weeks.
On the House side the tunnel connecting
the Capitol and the House Office building
has been practically completed. the torn
up plaza put in order and reasphalted.
Work is being rushed on the House Office
building. but 1t probably will not be ready
for the occupancy Of members until the
Christmas holidays. owing to delay in the
furnishing Of supplies by contractors. One
contractor was put out of business by a
flood, another by a fire and third by
some unforeseen and unavoidable happen
ing. But as the House will probably take
its own time in deciding upon the allot-
ment Of rooms In the new Office building
among the various members of the lower
body. Elliott Woods. superintendent Of
the Capitol thinks that by the Christmas
holidays, when the members will be about
ready to go into their new business quar-
ters. three-fourths of the rooms in the
