ANTl-FRENCH FEELING
REVIVED AMONG TRIBES
Bridge Building Operations on the
River Oumerbuya is Given
as Cause

TANGIER. April II. - Although
definite information is lacking, per-
sistent rumors which are current in
the southern seaports point to a re-
crudescence OF anti-French feeling
among the large tribes between
Marrakosh and the Shawia, the excit-
ing cause being certain bridge building
operations on the River Oumerbeya.
Taken In conjunction with the un-
doubted friction at Fez respecting the
loan which France insists Morocco
shall negotiate in order to pay claims
for damages. and the widespread opin-
ion among the natives that the sultan
is strongly hostile to this scheme, the
situation is somewhat disquieting and
may necessitate at any moment a con-
Siderable strengthening offs the French
garrisons on the Shawia frontier, not
to speak of eventualities anticipated
as almost inevitable if the French pol
icy is to be vigorously enforced.
Meanwhile two rival mining eXpedi-
tions, French and German. are pros
pecting on the spurs of the great At
las range for minerals believed by most
authorities to exist in that region, es-
pecially in and near the romantic pass
of Imintancot, seventy miles southeast
of Mogador.

EASTERN CAPITAL BUYS
BIG MIDWAY HOLDINGS
0ne-Sixth of Consolidation CON-
pany'S Stock Is Sold by
Philip D. Wilson

A deal involving ownership of one
sixth of the entire holdings of the
Consolidated Midway Oil company in
the aysMaricopa Sunset and Kern
river fields. was closed Saturday even
ing when Phillip ID. Wilson contracted
with the company for 100000 shares
of the capital stock at price ap-
proximating nearly 100000
Associated with Mr.. Wilson In this
deal are Heron g. Knight company,
members of the Los Angeles stock ex-
change. The contract calls for delivery
of the stock and payment in full on or
before May 5.
Eastern investors will become the
real holders of the shares, and the
deal is significant of the great interest
now being taken in Californias oil
fields by men in the east who have
been watching developments keenly,
ever since the great Lakeview and
other gushers began to occupy the at
tention of the oil world.
Tho Consolidated Midway company
owns about 800 acres of land in the
proved district of the Midway -Marico-
pa, Sunset and Kern river fields, in
addition to about 1000 acres of loca-
tions in North Midway. The company
is now drilling three wells, and a new
one will be "spudded in on the COM
pany's S0-acre tract adjoining the
Bankers company. in the Kern river
field today. In addition to these, ma
terial for three new rigs is now on the
ground, and three new wells will be
started within q few days.

WOMAN WINS $4,000 BUT
LOSES HER LOTTERY TICKET
Finder Presents It, but Payment Is
Refused, and Lawsuit Is
Promised

GENEVA. April IA year ago
Nine Rusconi of Bellinoza purchased
several tickets in the French "Press"
lottery and put them aside, forgetting
them. Lately she discovered that one
of her tickets had won $4,000 and at
once set out for Paris from Bellinoza
to claim the money.
Nine. Rusconi, however. lost her
tickets and after an unsatisfactory
Journey to Paris, where she stopped
payment of her ticket, she returned
to her home i'm Bellinoza.
Yesterday the ticket was presented
at Paris for the $4,000 prize by well
dressed man and payment was refused.
As Nine. Rusconi lost her ticket and
the man states he purchased 1t, there
will probably be a lawsuit.

very white and even; that her eyes

dimples in her cheeks so fascinating

CENTRAL AMERICA

tude of the United
States.

Washington, D. c. July THAT at
least three and perhaps more OF the
Central and South American republics
Will make a concerted protest of some
kind at the coming international con-
ference of American states at Buenos
Ayres against the Central American
policy Of the United States, is the pos
sibility being discussed.
According to international law"
said Madriz in a note to his consul at
Washington, no neutral government
may impede or disturb In time of war,
legitimate military operations of bell:g-
erents. Foreigners equally with ma
tives, are subject to the contingencies
Of these operations"
Madriz not only meant this to be COM
municated TO American officials, but
has protested to every Central and
South American government against the
attitude of the United States
On the diplomacy of the American
delegates to the conference may depend
largely the outcome of the matter.

ROOSEVELT IS FOR
ELECTION PRIMARIES
In Signed Article, the Ex-
President Defends Gov.
HugheS's Plan.

New York. July Former president
Roosevelt deals with governor Hughes,
the New York Legislature, and primary
reform In q signed editorial article in
tha current number of The Outlook
Mr.. Roosevelt writes in part as fol-
low:
Il fa.iave that governor Hughes has
taeE supported by the bulk of the wis
est and most disinterested opinion as
regards most OF his measures and po-
sijiOns. and 1 think that this has been
markedly the case as regards primary
combinations.
Il know that many honest and sin
cere men are on principle opposed to
governor Hughes ON this point and L
know also that the proposed reform
will very possibly accomplish less than
its extreme advocates expect.
'Rut 1 nevertheless feel in the first
place that on the fundamental issue of
direct Urinary nominations. the gov
ernOr is right, and in the second place
that as the measure finally came up for
acIlon in the state legislature, II was
Wei; nigh free from all objections save
those Of the men who object to It be-
cause they are fundamentally opposed
to any change whatever.
Those who believe that by their ac-
ton they have definitely checked the
AOI OllCSl pOpuldI pIludIl co
are in my judgment, mistaken. In it's
essence, this is movement to make
the government more democratic; more
responsive TO the needs and wishes of
the people as g. whole With our pO-
ntical machinery. it is essential to have
an efficient party. but the machinery
ought TO be suited to democratic and
not olgarchic customs and habits.
The question whether in a self SOW
erning republic we shall have self gov
erning parties is larger than the partic-
ular bill. We hold that the right of
popular self government is incomplete
unless it includes the right of the vot-
ers not merely TO choose between can
didates when they have been nomi-
mated, but to say who these candidates
shall be.
There is no desire to break down
the responsibility of party organize
ton under duly constituted party lead
ership, but there Is desire 10 make
this responsibility real and to give the
members of the party the right to say
when they desire TO execute this lead
ership.
L believe that the people of New
York state will, in the end insist on
taking a more direct part in the nomi-
nation of candidates because 1 believe
they will grow more and more to insist
on just the kind of guidance and lead
ership that I have mentioned"

The report also states that the
story of the well being securely tapped
and supposed 10 contain secret is
laughable to an eXperC, for the drilling
dump and slush were not removed,
which proves the formation. The cap
rock was reached ct q depth of 1850
feet and it was the intention to only
slightly crack this cap-rock, but one
blow too many was made with the
heavy drill, and up rose the oil.
Before the drf1l and rope could be
quickly drawn out of the casing, the
oil had risen some 500 feet on the
rope It can easily be determined that
the oil must have been very near to
the top of the casing when the drill
was Withdrawn. A pointed plug was
quickly driven into~the casing and a
cap securely screwed on. Then dirt and
sand was piled on top of the cap to
prevent the escape of too much Of the
gas. 4 small shot of nitro will make
this well a "gusher-"
Il really believe this is the full in
tention of the company now making
developments there TO put down a num-
Der of such wells, cap them and later
shoot them, but not until it has Sc
cured every possible acre Of land in the
immediate vicinity.
Your little company would do exactly
the same if It was trying TO develop this
