OIL MEN AGAINST
BLANKET LEASES
WIRE SECRETARY ADAMS TO
HOLD PUBLIC HEARING IN
THIS CITY.
SCANDAL sure TO FOLLOW
Public Sentiment Overwhelmingly
Against MISUNDERSTANDING At
Commercial Club Tonight.

For some time it has been endeav-
ored to explain the necessity of united
action in the matter of leasing the un-
leased part of the Usage, and now that
1t is about too late, action is being
taken with a vengeance. President
Perry has received a communication
from Assistant Secretary of the In-
terror Adams, and in his absence the
matter was taken up by G. j. Wrights-
man, w. S. Mowris and others, and a
telegram was sent to the secretary
protesting against the lease now pend
ing.
During the hearing last week the
secretary remarked that he would like
to hear from the oil men. and further
said that the oil producers seemed to
be singularly shy.
David j. Kelly. who was present,
explained the situation by saying. "Oil
men do not like to sueak Of land they
have no leases on; before rules and
regulations are finally decided upon
by this department, I would like to
suggest that a draft of these rules and
regulations be sent to oil men now
operating in the Usage and in Okla
homa;" to which the secretary re.
piled. "If the oil men have sugges-
tions and will write me about them In
the next two or three days I will be
glad to have them, but the other way
around. as you suggest would mean
indefinite delay. which I do not think
would be the right thing"
The Sccrctary's Letter.
From the foregoing report of the
conversation 1t would appear best were
the oil men to formulate at once def
mite plans to which they can all sub
scribe, and the provisions of which
they are willing to carry out. The
matter has been taken up by the COM
mittee which has had the tax matter
in hand and Arthur Hull as chairman
has called meeting for Tuesday
night at o'clock at the Commercial
club rooms. Secretary Adams letter
follows. and also the telegram which
was sent yesterday signed by nearly
all the producers In town:
Washington. ID. c.. Feb. 20, 1912.
Mr. 4. r. Perry. President Okla
homa Oil and Gas Producers Assn.
Dear Sir:-'T have just received
your telegram of February 2Sth. in
regard to the proposed oil leases OF
additional Usage territory. As you
probably know, the leases you refer
TO have been presented by the Usage
council TO this department for is &C.
tion. In your telegram you state that
[ the Usage tribe Of Indians is now at
tempting to lease additional territory
'in four blocks of 10000 acres each
to proposed lessees without the ap-
parent financial ability TO develop
said properties who are apparently
acting under cover for certain bic ia
terests.' I should be greatly obliged
IL you will inform me at once. either
by mail or telegram. what these biz
interests are. as II would enable me
TO deal more intelligently with the
questions now before me.

that experience has demonstrated
that monopolistic control of the oil
production in the hands OF few has
resulted in grossly Inadequate price
