GAS LARCENY BILL"
OKLAHOMA CITY. April /

OKLAHOMA CITY. April II.
Especial IA bill defining
larceny Of gas" and intended to
supplement the Carr measure
making gas pipe line common
carriers was introduced In the
house Friday Representative

were joint authors.
The bill defines the ownership
Of gas as being vested in the
owner Of the everything surface.
Where two or more persons or
companies have wells drilled into
a common pocket or pool of gas
they may withdraw 1t in proper
ton to the natural flow Of the
wells Of each. Provisions are
made in the bill for determining
this flow and where question
arises as to whether any well
owner had secured more gas
than allowed by law this Is TO be
determined by the corporation
commission. Gas pipe line com
panies which do not conduct
lines to serve their own produc-
ing properties must take pro-
portionate share of gas from

Especial )-The senate caucused for
nearly two hours this afternoon on
matters affecting the future policies
of the body. 1t Is understood that
one of the questions which attracted
the attention of the members was the
fact that Governor Cruce this after
noon appointed the old state election
board, and that as the senate had
once refused to confirm Ben. w. RI
ley secretary Of the board, the mem
bers do not feel altogether cheerful
toward the Governor. 1t Is possible
the senate will take the position that
the law creating the election board
was repealed at the former session OF
the legislature though what particu-
lar proof they have Is not known. In
the caucus was also discussed a pro-
grom Of legislation which Will take

islated upon. 1t Is believed that the
legislature will try to adjourn finally

man; T. b. Ferguson. Watonga, re-

The senate passed finally the house
bill making the running of gamb-
ling house a felony. The measure as
finally passed by the senate contains
additional provisions prohibiting the
playing of dice games over counters
for cigars or other things of value.
The bill also makes playing at any
gambling game a misdemeanor and
fixes the penalty for leasing property
to gamblers.
The senate killed a bill abolishing
meat inspectors.
An officer who is removed through
Impeachment or conviction in court
is in addition forever disqualified
from holding office in the state under
a bill advanced to engrossment in the
house.
A measure fixing maximum levies
for raising advalorem taxes was ad-
vanced to engrossment in the house.

think the matter should be advertised
and every oil man given chance to
bid on It,"
This was the ultimatum Mayor
Frank Wooden gave the three men,
bers of the city commission who yes
terday voted to lease 70 acres be-
longing to the city near the water
works plant to B. Il. Wheelock and
Martin, Madison for oil and gas pur-
poses.
Commissioners Downing, Wilson
and Forsythe voted for the lease
while Wooden and Colley voted no
and protested against the action.
Under the terms of the lease which
is for years or as long as oil and
the city receives $500 for an Old well
which was drilled several years ago;
gets q one eighth royalty on oil: the
privilege of buying any gas wells at
the cost of drilling or to buy the gas
for 2 cents per thousand feet. Oper-
ations, which Is construed to mean
the cleaning out Of the old well,
must be begun in 80 days and for
every days delay the city shall be In
Identified at the rate of $50 per day.
No well is to be drilled within $50
feet of the water system and the city
shall be indemnified for any damage
to the water system.
Downing moved to accept the lease
and Forsythe seconded il. The mat
ter Of leasing this property has been
before the city officials for about
four years but no proposition was
ever put through owing to cloud
on the title. This was cleared up by
Wheelock and Madison by paying the
original allOttee $3.50 for a quit
claim deed.
Several months ago Commissioners
Colley and Wilson were appointed
special sommittee to look into the
matter of leasing the property but
this committee never reported. On
March IA Commissioner Downing,
who is interested with Wheelock
and Madison in a number of oil pro-
perties presented this quit claim
which Wheelock and Madison had
secured to the Commissioners and
moved that the lease be made to
them. The vote was three to two
with Wooden and Colley voting no.
The quit claim was then sent to the
Indian agency for approval and the
lease held up until the approval was
secured.
The department approved the quit
claim and yesterday the lease was
not put through.
Before the vote was taken, Mayor
Wooden said he thought the proper
way to do was for the city to reim-
burse Wheelock and Madison for the
quit claim and for their expenses,
then to advertise the lease so that all
might be given a chance on the mat
ter
Colley said he was in favor of let
ting all the oil men bid on the lease
and was opposed to putting it through
in this way. Downing however. urged
that the matter be disposed Of at
once and a vote was taken.
Mayor Wooden then announced
that he would refuse to sign the lease
and without his signature the lease
is not valid. Whether or not the
matter will be taken to court In an
effort to force the mayor to sign
could not be learned yesterday.
