Cleveland, Okla, April 11.-Several
more good oil wells were drilled in
the field south of here the past week.
The Wrightsman well brought in Fri
day is making close to 500 barrels per
day. An unlimited gas supply has
been found. Four wells are produc-
ing 30,O0O,OOO cubic feet of gas from
the deep sand. This is the only place
in the state where the deep sand gas
is found in such quantities. The dis
covery of this great gas field is hav-

teen days, agents of the Mexican
government here today announced
that President Diaz's army will
Immediately take the offensive

Fifteen insurrectos were killed
and a number captured in a battle
fought near Bacanuchi, twenty miles
south of Cananea Saturday, accord
ing to reports which were brought
here today by messenger. The fed
erals under Commander Ante Luis
Barron were marching toward Arize
when they encountered a force of
insurrectos mining the roads with
dynamite. They gave battle and the
insurrectos were routed and the
mines seized. Six Americans were in
the insurrecto ranks.
Two hundred recruits have joined
insurrectos' besieging force outside
of Ojinaga, east of here, bringing
two old cannons into the hands of
General Sanchez, who is directing
the attack.
While the revolution is spreading
in all directions through Mexico,
word is being carried among the in
surrectos that General Bernardo
Reyes is on his way home How

PROBE FOR WIckERSHAM.
House Resolution Seeks Investigation
Of Attorneys Office.

Of Attorneys Office.
Washington, April 11-Seeking par
ticularly as to whether Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham has any outside
employment which would disqualify
him for his cabinet position, Repre-
sentative Rainey of Illinois today in
troduced resolution designed to
open the way for thorough in
vestigation of the department of
justice.
Mr.. Rainey attacked the depart.
ment before as member of mi
nority, but now he appeals to con-
gress with his party in control.
The resolution, referred to the
committee on rules, provides that
a committee of nine, six democrats
and three republicans, conduct the
investigation and asks an appropri
alton of $4,000 to cover the expense.
1t directs a thorough inquiry into
all cases instituted under the Sher-
man antitrust law and the commo-
dities clause of the Hepburn rail
road law and to ascertain what
cases, if any, were dropped, and the
reasons.
Mr.. Rainey's resolution also con-
templates an inquiry into the ap-
propriations to the department for
employment of special counsel, how
expended and in what cases, and
also what special counsel now are
employed and upon what character
of work.

American League.
Four Leagues Open Season Today.


New York, April 12.-From the city
o. the sacred Goldfish to the Lone Star
state the cries of frenzied fans, long
deprived of their favorite sport, will
be heard this afternoon. While those
saddest words of tongue or pen Rain
no game" will probably put dam
per on the enthusiasm of some of the
cities in the four leagues which go in
to action today, the pennant race Is
officially on in the Naional, Ameri-
can and Texas leagues and the Amer
lean association.
In the National league all the
dope" points to pennant race Of
the hair-raising variety. On form
there Is little to choose between, Chi
cago, Pittsburg and Cincinnati. Per-
haps majority of the experts" give
the giants the shade, but the element
of luck will doubtless be the deciding
factor. There is reason for believing
that McGraw and his men are not
quite so confident of capturing the
flag as they were month ago. At
that time the Cubs seemed to be on
the toboggan, but the rise of the cur
tain shows mighty good aggregation
of men to defend the honors of the
Windy City. The Cincinnati Reds on
paper, loom up like contenders for
the rag, but they are handicapped by
the fact that the southern Ohio city
has never formed the pennant habit.
In the American league, the worlds
champion Philadelphia Athletics look
good to repeat. The Detroit Tigers
are something of a puzzle, and just
what they can do toward regaining
their old glory remains to be demon
strated. About the only sure prop
osition in the American Is that Wash
ington and ST. Louis will fight it out
for tail-end honors-and that isn't a
lead pipe cinch. ~
The big minor aggregation of the
central west, the American associa-
ton, also gets into the game today
and promises a pretty race. in the
southwest the Texas league opens up.
The circuit OF the latter Organization
has been changed by the substitution
OF Austin, the capital city of the Lone
Star state, for Shreveport, La, which
has played in the Texas league since
it was droppend from the Southern
league a few years ago.

Shipping Arms to Rebels.

San Antonio, Texas, April Ii
Large shipments of arms and ammu.
milton passed through San Antonio
today, en- route to Maria and Ell
Paso, consigned to local merchants.
This is not violation of neutrality
laws and no attempt was made to
seize the shipments. The rebels have
offered a bonus of $4,000 for the de-
livery of the consignment of rifles
and this is expected to encourage
filibustering.

THE CANADIAN PACT.

The question of reciprocity with
Canada has by the treaty now made
by President Taft with authorities
across the line been brought into the
limelight as one of the most import
ant political problems of the day. In
his action the president has in the
opinion of many, demonstrated his ca
pacity for the broadcast and best kind
of craftsmanship. 1t is of course true
that in New England and in the Dor
der states like Minnesota and the
Dakotas there is wide diversity of
opinion. 1t is doubtless true that it
would lower for a time the price OF
wheat and barley but 1t would on the
other hand create a tremendous mar
ket for many other products that Can
ada does not raise, and vice versa.
1t is a singular fact that some of

A CHANCE FOR FARMERS.

A chance for farmers living around
Norfolk to buy high grade pure bred
Belgian horses as a basis for an eX-
tensive and profitable breeding indus
try, has been brought about through
the efforts of the Norfolk Commercial
club and G. L. Carlson. These splendid
animals have just been imported from
Belgium and are to be had at about
half the usual retail cost. But If Nor
folk farmers neglect to pick up this
opportunity, the horses will be sold
to outside territory.
The Commercial club directors
bought the horses, with Mr. Carlson's
assistance, in Belgium, with the idea
of establishing an extensive horse.
breeding industry here. They are to
be had at actual cost, by Norfolk far
mers, but the farmers will have to
take them pretty soon or the Com.
mercial club directors will be forced
to sell the animals elsewhere.
There is no lack of market for
these Belgians; the only question Is,
will Norfolk farmers take advantage
Of their opportunity to get them?

NO ANNEXATION WANTED.

The anti-AmeriCan press of Ger
many seems to know all about Uncle
Sans intentions in Mexico, before the
old gentleman has learned that he had
any intentions. According to our leu
tonic critics, it is proposed to reduce
Mexico to a Sate of feeble vassalage
like Panama
1t would cost the American people
good money to give Mexico a stable
government. AS it is very doubtful il
the Mexcans want q good govern
ment, with all the limitations on their
individual freedom this means, they
would never pay the taxes necessary
to compensate us for giving it to them.
If our troops should take the his
toric step of marching over into a
sister state, the action would be taken
in part for the protection Of American
residents and American property.
There are sharp limits to the extent
to which our people will pay taxes, to
protect speculative investments in for.
eign lands.
People who have placed money in
Mexican enterprises knew before they
did so that they were taking risks on
account of the unsettled state of the
country. In return for their risks,
they usually got higher rate Of in,
terest. 1t was gamble. They could
not expect our government to assure
them security of their capital thus
hazarded, when there is abundant op
portunity to invest funds safely at
home at more moderate interest re
turn.
This does not mean that there may
not arise situations where our govern
ment would be compelled to teach
partly civilized people some elemen
tary ideas Of government. European
nations are accustomed to collect cou
pons for their bondholders at the can
mons mouth. We might prefer to dc
the collecting ourselves, rather thar
have European army permanently
installed in our back yard.
The fundamental objection to Mex
lean annexation would be that oul
| people want no Mexican representa-
tives in our congress to say how oul
home affairs shall be governed.
