RETIREMENT PROBABLE.
Col. VIM. r. Stewards Career in Army
10 About Over.

Washington. Oct. 9.-The army retiring
hoard which has been investigating the
health of Col VIM. F.. Stewart. the go
called Fort Grant exile" concluded Its
work today, and while the result Of its
deliberations was not officially made pub
lie, it is understood that the board found
Col. Stewart so seriously afflicted with
yalvular disease of the heart as to inca
pacitate him from further service in the
army. The finding which has been agreed
upon will be reported to the secretary Of
war probably tomorrow. and it Is consid-
cred likely that Col Stewards retirement
by the President will follow. If not re-
tired Col Stewart would have more than
four years of active service, and since he
is one Of the oldest officers Of the artil-
lery corps his friends contend he would
stand a good chance of reaching the
grade of brigadier general before leaving
the active service. If retired he will re-
ceive three-fourths of his regular pay, or
about 500 per month.
Before the board took the subject up
in executive session today it heard a
somewhat detailed statement Icy Col.
Stewart relative to his record in the
army and listened to brief arguments by
Col. Stewards counsel and Recorder How
land, who spoke for the service. Col.
Stewart was not permitted to go outside
his medical record, and when his attor-
ney made an effort to elicit from him the
circumstances under which he had been
transferred from Fort Barrancas. Fla,
to Fort Grant, Ariz., Capt. Hoyland inter-
posed positive objection, which was sus-
tanned by the board.

THE OIL LAND LEASES.
Acting Sec. of Interior Pierce Issues
Statement of Entire Controversy.

Washington, Oct. 9.--Another chap
ter in the controversy over the charges
regarding the action of the government
in the matter of oil land leases in the
Indian Territory to which CORE
spondence President Roosevelt, Cover
nor Haskell of Oklahoma. Sec. Garfield
and others have contributed in formal
statements was furnished today When
Acting Secretary of the Interior Pierce
issued supplementary statement in
regard to the Usage oil land leases. In
this Mr.. Pierce says that as there has
been considerable discussion Concern
ing the leases of these Usage lands,
coupled with the charges that the
present administration failed 10 safe
guard the interests of the Indians and
in fact sacrificed their interests" he
thought it we'll to set forth lin skeleton
form the exact truth about this mat
ter" The statement adds
''In 1896 during a Democratic admins
tration the entire Usage Indian reserva-
ton. 100000 acres of land, was leased
for oil purposes to a certain A. B. Foster
for 10 years from March 16, 1896, the rate
of royalty being fixed at 10 per cent. On
March 3, 1905, a year before the Foster
lease would terminate, Congress provid-
cd definitely by statute (33State 1861 for
a renewal of this lease as to 6S0CG acres
of land with the proviso that The Presi-
dent of the United States shall determine
the amount of royalty to he paid for oil.
Said determination shall be evidenced by
filing with the secretary of the interior
on or before Dec. 81, 1906 such determina-
ton
1T should be noted that Congress left
no power or duty with regard to the lease
except that the President WAS directed
to determine the royalty to be paid for
oil Congress determined the fact that
there was to be lease and also deter
mined the area of the lease and the terms
for which it was to run. At that time
it was not known or believed that the
lessee was allied to the Standard Oil Co.
and the department Of the interior has
not reason to believe that there is now
such allegiance. but it has no certain
knowledge as to this matter which, so
far as the department is concerned. is
wholly immaterial as in any event the
secretary of the interior would treat all
oil companies exactly alike so long as
they obeyed the laws. Moreover. in this
particular case the department had power
to do nothing except recommend to the
President the rate of royalty.
THE commissioner of Indian affairs in
vestigated the question of what would be
a reasonable and adequate ROYALTY and
recommended to the secretary in increase
from 10 to l2la per cent. The secretary
approved this report and forwarded it to
the President June B. 1908 The President
on the same date approved the recon-
mendation of the secretary and thus fixed
the 70, atty at 121s per cent instead Of
10 per cent.
eft is to be noted that this was an in
crease of y per cent. over the ROYALTY in
force before that time

ANOTHER CONFERENCE
But Little Progress in Settling the
Lynn Lasters Strike.

nm, MASS, OCI. ~ lie StdlC
tration committee met in the offices of
Mayor Porter at City hall today to re-
ce!ve the answers of the Joseph Caunt
Co. and the union officials on their
acceptance or rejection of the provi-
sions of the tentative agreement drawn
I'D yesterday. This agreement provid-
ed that the striking lasters. of whom
there are now almost 1000, should re-
turn to work in all the factories pend
ing the adjudication of the controver-
sy. The return Of the lasters in all the
factories would also give employment
to an almost equal number of other
operatives who have been laid off ow-
ing to the lack of material originating
from the lasters' department.
The attitude of Joseph Caunt. one of
the members of the firm Of Joseph
Caunt & Co, is one of the chief fac
tors entering into the controversy. His
decision a few days ago to fill bus
mess engagement after he had an
nOunced his intention to participate in
a conference with union leaders. placed
temporary check upon the efforts to
end the strike and today it was to him
that his brother, Arthur Caunt. looked
for the final decision concerning the
acceptance of the agreement by their
firm
AS the strike was inaugurated in the
factory Of the Caunt Co. the acceptance
by that firm OF the arbitration plan
would virtually put a temporary end
to the strike
When the conference convened at
City hall shortly before 10 A. NJ. Ar
thur Caunt stated that he had placed
tho proposition for temporary set
tlemont of the difficulty by the return
of the lasters and the submission of
the controversy to the state board of
arbitration before his brother. who was
in Baltimore, by telephone. His BROTH
er's position, he said. was that he was
ready TO arbitrate. but he considered
that the controversy was no longer
confined to the Caunt factory. but that
1t had extended to others in the city.
If there was labor arbitration, he
thought that local board should be
selected. He wanted to meet other
manufacturers in the city and discuss
the situation and it was his opinion
that before the whole matter should
be submitted to arbitration, the issues
should be clearly defined. Arthur Caunt
would return sometime before Monday
next. ....
The representatives of the Lasters'
Union expressed dissatisfa ction at the
answer of the Caunts. stated that they
did not feel that their proposition had
been answered at all and that before
they entered into another they would
Rave to consult with the members of
the union.
The union representatives. however,
agreed to lay the proposition Of arbi-
tratlon before local board of the
union, while Arthur Caunt stated that
he would endeavor to obtain a confer
ence of manufacturers. Pending these
proceedings the conference today
broke uD about, IL A. M.
1t was understood later that Joseph
Caunt was expected to return to the
city tomorrow.
