PEACE DISTURBANCE, NOT
INSANITY, WOMAN FACES
Defendant in Court with Doctor
Instead of Lawyer

1t was a lawyer and not doctor that
Mrs. Lizzie Stewart needed when she
appeared before Police Judge Williams
in University court yesterday morning
to answer to a charge of disturbing the
peace. In order to give Mrs Stewart
time to substitute an attorney for the
physician she had retained, Judge VIII
iiams postponed the hearing until a
later date.
For some unaccountable reason Mrs.
Stewart understood that she was to be
examined on an insanity charge. She
understood that following an alterca-
ton several days ago with her brother
in-law. Joe Stewart, the latter had her
arrested for being a person of unsound
mind. The defendant looked surprised
and relieved when the charge was read
to her.

PROSPECTORS' RIGHTS

Administration Policy Now Re-
stricts Leasing System to Oil
Lands in Proved Areas

Judging from a letter received by the
chamber of mines and oil yesterday from
Frank Pierce, first assistant secretary OF the
interior inclosing a manuscript written by
Secretary Balinger, 1t will not be the object
of the government In its proposed leasing
system Of oil lands to har the prospector
from acquiring patent to land under the placer
mining law II his oil discovery is made on
land not considered by the geological survey
to be proved oil territory. Balinger also
says the state ought to cooperate with the
government in preventing a monopoly in the
oil business and TO effectually secure rea-
sonabe price to the consumer. Ballinger,
speaking of the oil situation in California,
refers to the enormous retail price OF coal
here and calls attention to several patents
now pending in the patent office for oil stoves
for domestic use He illustrates where three
barrels of oil at a total price of sos IS
equivalent In value to one ton of bituminous
coal
Pierce, speaking of Ballinger's manuscript,
says 1t will be adopted as the administra-
tions policy Parts Of the manuscript are as
follows.

TO RECOGNIZE LOCATOR

IT recommend that congress be asked to
pass law recognizing the right OF the
prior bona ide locator to the exclusive pos
session Of his claims for a reasonable time
for prosecution of his work for the discovery
of OIL and upon discovery right to secure
his patent under the general placer act.
This recommendation applies only to those
locators who are bona fide occupants or
claimants, and who are in diligent prosecu-
tion of work leading to discovery OF oil or
gas at the time Of any withdrawal or the
land under executive direction.
Il am in favor of a general leasing system
Of oil and gas-bearing lands-such system
as will promote legitimate development OF
this industry, prevent monopoly and conserve
one of the great natural resources Of the
country The oil land of the five civilized
tribes OF Oklahoma is developed on the leas-
ing system the term of the lease extending
as long as oil is found in commercial guam
titles The lessee usually paws to the gov
ernment for the use of the Indians one-eighth
in value Of the oil produced as royalty. This
system has worked out very satisfactorily
and is in use in many of the oil regions or
the country where land is held in private
ownership and not by the government. L
would apply the leasing system only to areas
withdrawn for classification or CLASSIFIED by
the geological survey

voTTD GET PATENT

1.-THE unknown and uneXplored oil lands
would leave open to exploration and location
under the general placer act as amended as
1 have suggested. This would give reward
to the diigent prospeetor Even then the
surrounding lands could be withdrawn from
further location after the dillgent prospector
had secured his first claims
'The price of coal for fuel there dn Cali
formal is enormous, ranging from Sn to SO
a ton for bituminous coal, and much more for
anthracite Much OF the coal consumed in
California comes from foreign countries-Aus-
tralia and British Columbia, The New Mex
leo, Utah and wyoming bituminous Goals cost
the California consumer about the same price
as foreign coal.
about three barrels of crude oil are equiv
alent in fuel value to one ton of bituminous
coal Crude oil is piped from the California
oil fields to the bay cities and sold at the
present time at s. cents a barrel. Three bar
rels of crude oil at the total price of S2.o5
are substantially equivalent In fuel value to
one ton of bituminous coal costing from Sl1
to SIS.
THE use Of oil for domestic consumption
will reduce the price Of fuel to the small
consumer several times. have had the pat
ent office records examined and find that
many patents have been issued for stoves
which may be successfully used for the con-
sumption of crude oil for family use.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-12-02
TIE REASON WHY

THE reason, I am told, why crude oil has
not been used extensively for family use in
California is because of the heretofore uncer-
tain production of crude oil in that state.
IT recommemnd that the government adopt
a liberal policy in opening the oil lands in
California The government ought TO support
any movement which would reduce the enor-
nous cost Of fuel in California. The state
ought to be asked to cooperate with the gov
ernment to prevent the monopoly Of the oil
business and to effectually secure a reason
able price to the consumer.
In my judgment this can be accomplished
If the state of California should declare the
consumption Of oil a public use. The state
regulation of the price OF crude oil in the
hands of a discreet commission. The recent
decision of the supreme court of the United
States in the case of Wilcox VS.. Consoli-
dated Gas company 212 U. S. 1O seems to
sustain this position"

PEORIA, I'LL. September
27--The invitation to former
President Roosevelt to celebrate

sent by Bishop Spaldiug' before

It was sent in care OF Maurice
Francis Egan, minister to Den
mark, and delivered in person
in Rome.
Now the Knights and the
churchmen are being criticised
for not withdrawing the invita-
tion after the Rome incident.
Archbishop Glennon OF St.

ford and Bishop Dunno OF Peoria
have all ,ound it impossible to
an, at the same table with the
colonel. Bishop Dunno has
charge of the diocese formerly
directed by Bishop Spaldlng'
The latter Is bishop emeritus
Many priests who were invited

1t was the general impression
throughout the layman's worlt
in Illinoiso that the Peorii
Knights has invited Mr.. Roose
welt in order to give him an op
portunity to square himself TO-
the Rome incident. So wide
spread has been this opinion tina
even Catholic publications, or a

When the State of Maine, af' er|
being continuously Republican
in State matters for thirty years
and in National elections for
more than tiftyiyears. went Dem
Focratic at the recent election
Septe mber IL 1910, the strong
est deciding factor was the pro-
hibition issue.
This was largely the issue on
which the Democratic party
made it's fight. The Republican
party in Maine stood for The
strict laws preventing the sale
OF Liquor and other rigid laws
for their enforcement over the
heads Of local officials.
The Democratic party assert
ed that prohibition was both a
failure and a farce; that under IL
1.-THE surreptitious sale OF liquors
had increased TO an enormous
extent; that arrests for selling
jliquor and for drunkenness had
continuously increased; that
blind tigars' and dives had
multiplied: that a large share Of
the traffic had oeen driven from
the saloon into the home. ano
, that prohibition was productive
Of corruption and hypocrisy.
Statistics gathered by an ad
ministration favorable to pro
q hibition were presented to tn
!, voters, and q majority OF voters
decided that they would have NJ
|. more of prohibition.
h These statistics showed:
That in twentyty.seven Of tn
large centres of Maine ther
u we're for years 003 saloons doin
an open liquor business.
= That when the State admins
,, tration seat deputies to close y
~ these saloons the sale of liquc
was driven into private home
7e and has gone on there to grc'
re extent.
of That In 1909 there we're Il
persons. both men and wome
committed for running saloon
