OIL CRAZE AT CENTRAlIA.
Farmers Getting Practically What
They Ask for Leases.

Centralia. III. - The oil craze
has reached an acute stage here.
Leases Of all kinds and descriptions
are being made. East of town, where
the field is supposed to lie, the farm
ers are asking many different kinds of
bonuses. One wants enough money
deposited in the bank to his credit to
pay his taxes next spring; another has
his eye on a neighbours horse, valued
at SITE, and he expects to get a bonus
enough to buy it. The beauty of it
is that they are getting practically
what they ask. The drilling is pro-
crossing slowly. The we'll on the Dyx-
ira farm is making a fair yield, but
has not settled, as yet, to a steady
flow. Experienced oil men say that
oil is here and in good quantity.

President After Information.
The president e%ndeavored to find
out Just what labor desires congress
to do. Mr.. Roosevelt did not commit
himself, but it Is understood he OBJ
tanned the information desired.
After the last course had been
served the president rose and ex-
planned that he had brought the mem
bers together for an interchange Of
ideas on public questions. James
Moody, Secretary Straus and Secretary
Garfield also took part in the quiz
zing.
When seen afterward lone of those
present committed himself as to what
was actually accomplished. But it
was limited that every labor question
was thrashed.
What seemed most significant Of all,
both to the president and other gov
eminent officials present, was the
suggestion that congress should pass
a bill of rights in which all labor leg
islation should be incorporated, should
create a publicity board whose pur-
pose would be to investigate the de-
tails of controversies in which labor
was involved.

bearing on the insanity of Harry

will be along different lines than in

Thaw's counsel today, that the de-
tense will seek to prove that Thaw
was insane only at the time he
shot Stanford White and, no mat
ter what the verdict of the jury
may be, it will leave his present
condition to be determined, later by
a commission in lunacy. The spe-
cific kind of insanity which Thaw S

der Of the Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine,

ices were taken over the hot sands
and it required about six hours for
the Mobiles to instill the mysteries OF
the order in the minds Of the younger
ones.
Many novices were elected for in
itiation at this session, but only
twelve put in an appearance. That
was enough judging from the happy
results which the Shriners seemed
to have gotten out of their journey
over the desert in the Temple yester-
day. The session was conducted by
Edgar Brewster, who was recently
elected potentate Of Sahara Temple
and he is reported to have acquitted
himself admirably.
To add to the Festivities of last
nights traditional banquet at the IIo-

ceremonial session, a special train
from Hot Springs brought thirty no.
bles and they arrived in time to take
part in the afternoon session at the

French Government Disturbed.

French Government Disturbed.
is considerably disturbed over the
unexpected declaration Of holy
war at Fee and the proclamation Of
Mulai Hatid g. Sultan Of Morocco.
It is now anXiously waiting for in
formation Of the number OF tribes
who will follow the rebel Sultan
Everything depends, it is explain
cd. upon the strength which Mulai
Hafid develops. It is pointed out
also that France and Spain, hold
ing the mandate from the powers,
have no potion but to recognize
Abdul Aziz as the legitimate Sui
tan. He signed the Algeciras act
for Morocco, and France and Spain
have to treat with him and sustain
him rs long as the official govern
ment remains in his hands. Should
the rebel Sultan become formidable
it is conceivable the country might
become divided, Mulai Hafd being
supreme in the interior and Abb
dull Aziz with the support of France
and Spain ruling on the coast. Such
4 situation might readily produce
international complications.
