Mr.. TAFT WRESTLES
WITH OIL PROBLEM
Prairie Oil Company Ap-
peals From Ruling of the
Interior Department

Washington. November 15.-President
Taft and several of his leading legal ad-
visers wrestled sunsuccessfully for nearly
two hours tonight with the question OF
the ADMINISTRATORS policy toward con-
Germs which produce and transport oil
and which seek to obtain leases to gov
eminent oil lands.
The interior department recently issued
regulations governing the leasing of In
dian oil lands which prohibited concerns
engaged both in the production and trans
portation of oil from bidding for these
Indian lands. The Prairie Oil and Gas
company, one of the big companies oper-
ating In the west, was shut out by these
regulations from bidding for leases Oh
more than 100000 acres of oil lands in Oh
lahoma. 1t appealed from the depart
ment's decision and President Taft to-
night granted a hearing in the White
House.
Attorney General WiclSersham, Secre-
tary of the Interior Fisher Franklin x.
Lane of the interstate commerce COM
mission, Senator Curtis and Representa-
tive Campbell of Kansas, w. s. Fftzpat-
rick, attorney for the Prairie company,
and representatives of other oil companies
were present.
No decision was reached, but it was an
nounced that the President would take
up the case next week with MIR. Wicker
sham and Mr.. Fisher.
