DON'T believe RULES
Will Be CHANGED
PROPOSED CHANGE IN TENNIS
RULES WOULD SERIOUSLY
EFFECT PLAY.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.-Maur-
ice Mclaughlin, tennis champion of
America, and a member Of the team
that last summer brought back to
this country the Davis international
trophy. discredited today published
reports that British tennis authori-
ties desire to change the rules for
future international play in such a
way as to handicap him and other
American players who have a similar
style. He does not believe British
players wish to require n player to
touch his foot TO the ground after
each service before rushing to the
net
Such a rule would slow down Nc
Loughlin's play for he is essentially
a net player. Mclaughlin follows a
smashing service with a rush to the
net.
Such players as Wallace +. John
son, OF Philadelphia and Parke and
widing. the English cracks. might
favor the proposed foot fauh' rule,
Mclaughlin is willing 20 concede, but
he is confident the support Of the
two-thirds of the nations in the In
ternational agreement necessary TO
amend the rules, cannot be obtained.

TO DETERMINE WHY

IR!tKING OESHNIE on NAVAL

NASUINGTON, Dec. 26.-With the

II. b. Spauldlng OF Muskogee has
been agreed upon by the state school
land commission on one side and the
Creek nation on the other as receiver
for the royalties derived from oil and
gas taken from the river beds Of the
river beds of the Arkansas rlVer
where that stream traverses the
Creek nation.
Spauldings appointment was agreed
upon by John u. Williams represent
ing the state school land commission
and United States District Attorney
ID H. Linebaugh, representing the in
terests Of the Creek Indians. SpauId-
ing's name win be submitted TO Fed
eral Judge Campbell Of the eastern
Oklahoma district for confirmation
Friday according 20 the present ar
rangements.
The appointmcnt of a receiver TO
take care Of the royalties is necessl-
tated by the recent institution of
suit brought in the federal court IN
behalf of the Creeks who seek TO
cancel the oil and gas leases upon the
river beds which were recently grant
ed by the state school land depart
mcnt.
Mootcd Question.
With the advent Jf statehood, ana
particularly since the river beds in the
Indian nations have become valuable
AS being underlaid with oil and gas
the question Of riparian ownership mas
been the subject of litigation in both
state and federal courts, as well as OF
| legislative enactments. There IS no"
pending in the state supreme court or
| oklahoma a test case which has been
submitted and argued and which is
known as the Turkey Island case, In
stituted by Harry Nolegs.
The suit involves the legality OF
leases held by oil and gas men and
obtained from riparian claimants.
In the federal district court Of the
eastern Oklahoma district another
case involving the river bed rights was
adiudlcated several months ago 10y
Judge Campbell Of Atoka, who held
! that as between riparian claimants
and the state school land department
the rights of the latter were para
mount. The case was appealed and
IS now pending in the federal circuit
court Of appeals in St. Louis.
The Main Issue.
In the case which has just been
filed and in which the litigants have
sked for the appointment Of Spauld-
ing as a receiver the Creek Indians
raise the point that the river beds
constitute unallotted property OF the
tribe and did not pass to the state al
the time the federal government re-
Iinauished its claim upon Oklahoma
as o territory.
Secretary Williams. speaking for
the school land department In an In
terview Thursday night said that the
school land department executed the
leases upon the Creek river beds with
| full authority Of state law and that
the board Aps confident that upon
final adjudication In the federal
courts the title would be declared
vested in the state.
Williams said that the royalties
provided in the leases were very ad-

WATER BECOMES SALTY
MASSACHUSETTS, TOWN HAS A
PECULIAR EXPERIENCE WITH
IT'S DRINKING WATER.

Marblehead, Mass, Jan. 20-The Mar
blehead water pumped from the munici-
pal supply at Leggs Hill, Salem, now
has a distinctive flavor Of salt, owing
to the fact that a suction pipe is being
sunk in well No. / at the plant in order
to take care of the new auxiliary supply,
which is soon to be obtained from
Thompson's meadow The water now
being pumped through the pipes Of the
town is so salty that it is impossible for
many people to drink it, and as a result
a rush is being made to the several
pumps located about town and old wells
are now being utilized to a great extent.
The water at the pesent time is worse
than it has ever been since the plant was
established, and if the sinking of the
suction pipe is not soon completed harm
full results may attend the continued
drinking Of the salty water. The salt
in the water is caaused by the fact that
Well No l is below the sea level and
consequently at high tide the water from
Salem HarbOr OOZeS into the well. The
water is now practically at its lowest
possible level to permit the sinking Of
the suction pipe, and as a result The salt
water rushcS in while the fresh water
from well No. is kept out.

but this does not appl ytO war medals.
There are hundreds of Englishmcn who
have received foreign decorations and the
order that they must not be worn in the

sore disappointment to many OF them.
King Edward. on the other hand, rather
encouraged thecncOuraged the accept

as they had.
