CALLOWAY'S GLORY.

Snglehanded, so far as the Black
has been fighting the night rider spirit
confident that the side of order and
Justice is the winning side and that
popular indignation. once aroused
against the perpetrators OF the out
RACES, would quickly relieve the tenn
porary paralysis of the laws strong
arm. The Sun took up this cause IN
the face of repeated warnings of pos
sible vengeance from the criminals;
but the answer was that The Sun
never consciously will utter a SEN
tence calculated to please a disturber
of the peace and a violatOr of the
sacred rights of citizenship. The Sun
has made public the details of ou.
RACES, when other papers through fear
or sympathy with the mob have re-
NAMED still, and in the face of the
pusillanimous protest that you will
bring the night riders down on us,
or you will give the Black Patch
bad name" We never have found
words of SUFFICIENT depth TO express
our contempt for such criticisms.
Communities, like individuals, must
have self-respect. If lawlessness is
condoned to prevent information of its
existence going abroad; be assured
that what might be simply a single
outbreak will become a custom, and
the community will eventually gain
the well-deseryed notoriety 4 feared.
When anything evil exists, ID must be
uprooted. and only good can come of
the effort expended in the process.
Galloway county is proving just
what The Sun has commended Instead
OF gaining unenviable notorle,y from
the prosecution, Galloway county and
her officials and people are being held
up as models OF good citizenship be-
cause at whatever cost tha are in
sisting that the law shall prevail. In
contrast, those counties eaS of the
rivers. whose officials intimiHated, or
IN league with the night ghers. are
being urged TO follow the example set
by Galloway county. Unless they do.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Dr. W. j.
Spencer, the British scientist who was
commissioned by the geological survey
of Canada to make an investigation OF
the Niagara Falls problem, described
today the effect of utilization Of its wa
ters by power plants upon the scenic
beauty of that national water power.
At the instance of the American CIVIC
federation, DR.. Spencer has appeared
before the house rivers and harbora
committee and presented facts and fig-
tires to show what effect the request
of the Ontario Power company for a
power franchise, to develop which
would require 10000 cubic feet OF water
per second, would have on the falls.
1t was contended by DR.. Spencer that
this request is for from 20 to 20 per
cent of the discharge of the Niagara
river, and would greatly impair the
characteristics of the whirlpool rapids,
lower the river bed up to the falls,
break UP the surface rock at the foot
of the American falls and Goat island,
and thereby cause more rapid recess
sion of the Horseshoe. He said:
"On account of lowering the water
into the basin above the upper rapids.
it will increase the slope of the river
so that the surface of Lake Erie VIII be
lowered by three feet. Again, the low
ering of Lake Erie will in the same

GERMANY TO M0N0P0LIZE
PETROLEUM INDUSTRY
Imperial Treasury Department Consid-
ers Taking Over Standards
Euslness-May Patron
Ize Urals


BY Associated Press.
BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE imperial
treasury department is considering the
possibility of government petroleum
monopoly. No decision has yet been
reached. but experts continue to study
plans for the taking over of the busi-
ness in Germany of the Standard Oh
company, as we'll as that of this COM
pany's Russian and Roumanian hold
ings.
Baron Won zedlitz, leader of the free
Conservatives in the Prussian diet
who has made special study OF the
subject, says the empire would have
to make an initial outlay of $lS,000,00u
for oil plants, tanks and the necessary
tank steamers and cars, and that yearly
profits of from $10,000,000 to $12,5O0,OOl
are to be expected.
The baron is of the opinion that the
government can deal successfully WIFI
the probable refusal of the STANDARD
Oil company to supply crude petroleum
at a reasonable rate, and he thinks the
requirements of the government II
American oil would be supplied by the
Texas rivals of the Standard.
Experts have found that the oils Of
Roumania, Galicia and Russia canno
be used successfully with the burners
generally employed in Germany with
out a considerable mixture of Amer
lean petroleum. consequently the pro.
| jecIed monopoly must Include the buy
ing of about 100000 tons of American
oil a year.
The imperial treasury finds this mat
ter full of difficulties, but it's examina'
ton will be continued along with thu
| study of the possibilities of creating {

TO COLLECT TAX FROM BANKS

BY AEsocte.ed fsfe4A.

A. Houston in the district court here
today sustained a demurrer f1led by
Attorney General West in an fn1une-
ton suit brought by the Noble state

and the bank commissioner regarding
the collection of a state bank tax on
the ground that there were not suffi-
cient facts in the petition to constitute
a case of action.
This is the first test on the Oklahoma
guarantee deposit law. In passing on
the case Judge Houston stated that
under the police powers of the state
given by the act the defendants have
the power to collect the tax las the
banks that are allowed to do business
in the state are corporations and that
they are as much accountable TO the
legislature as any other corporation
which serves the public.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19.--Follow-
ing the closing of the argument for the
defense by f. j. Murphy. associate
counsel, Judge Lawlor this morning
ruled that 1t was proper for the court
to inquire into the circumstances OF
the immunity contract between Abra-
ham Ruef and the prosecution, which,
1t is alleged, caused Ruef to waive
certain rights which he otherwise
would have asserted.
The court at the same time denied
the motion of the defense to amend
the minutes relative to Ruefs arraign-
ment last May. The latter motion was
one of many made by the defense and
is considered by the latter to be OF
little Importance.
Judge Lawlor declined to receive an
affidavit by Ruef this morning TO the
effect that the defendant desired an
AFFIDAVIT from Francis J. Heney, Dis
trict Attorney Langdon, Rudolph
Spreckels. w. j. Burns and Judge
Dunno and asking the court to order
a subpoena to issue for each of them
to appear before a notary public for
the purpose of making and swearing
to their affidavits.
The court gave the defense until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning to complete
its showing by introducing further evil
dence in the form of affidavits. AT
the same time Judge Lawlor stated
that when the showing in the hearing
has been completed he will consider
the application from the defense for
subpoenas for such persons as refused
to make affidavits.
Criticises Heney
In closing his argument Mr.. Murphy
severely scored the attitude OF the
prosecution and said Mr.. Heney goes
up and down the coast with his pock-
cts bulging with immunity contracts.
vet his representative comes into this
court and says, We had no right to
make an immunity contract.
This brought Assistant Attorney
O'Gara to his feet with the statement
that he was not Heney's representative,
but represented the people. Il never
knew Anything of the immunity con-
tract until long after its making" said
O'Gara.
II want to say this: The district at
torney's office is not defending its de-
parture from the immunity contract on
the ground that thea district attorney
had no right to MAKE 1t. but upon the
ground that there was breach of
faith on the part of the defendant
Just before adjournment a clash oc-
CURED between the court and Murphy.
O'Gara had replied to some remarks
made by Murphy referring to OGara's
benighted understanding, to which
O'Gara took exception. Murphy sought
to apologize and reply, when he was
told that the court did not care to
hear it.
The associate counsel for Ruef fiared
UP and declared. Il am an American
citizen and have the right to reply
when attacked in or out of court"
ut may be well for you to under
stand that this court governs its own
proceedings. Your client may not be
Interested in your personal matters.
Confine yourself to the matter at issue,
was the admonition of the court.
