SECRETARY FISHER
ANSWERS CHARGES
DOES NOT THINK UNCLE SAM OIL
COMPANY WOULD BENEFIT
INDIANS.
HE OPPOSES LEASE
AFRAID INDEPENDENT COMPANY
MIGHT YIELD TO TEMPTA-
TIoN HE TELLS IT'S AT
TORNEY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.--Secretary
Of the Interior Walter Fisher, of
Chicago. today answered the charges
brought against him by the deposed
Tribal Council of the Usage indians
Of Oklahoma, and the Uncle Sam Oil
company. that he had favored the
Standard oil company against the
independents in the matter of oil and
gas leases worth $500. 000.0 600.
The secretary denied everything,
and wound mp by expressing his per-
sonal and official opinion of the Uncle
Sam OIL company His sentiments
were such that he frequently clashed
with Attorney Albert l.. Wilson, of
Kansas city, general counsel for the
company.
because they have had trouble
with the postoffice department. the
Indian Office, the assistant secretary,
the secretary, and the president, they
have come TO the conclusion they
have been treated unfairly" said
Secretary Fisher
Willingness to make charges is the
first asset Of this company" he said.
Quotes Advertisements
The secretary quoted contradictory
sentences from two advertisements by
the company.
You can't win. you can't lose, gem
tlemen. if you play with such disre-
gard of the facts. Its better than the
three card monte game"
Attorney Wilson tried to make the
secretary admit that the Independent
company had caused the Standard OIL
to raise the price il was paving the
Indians for oil.
Il don't know. whether it was that
or the change in the moon" said
Fisher. The two things would have
the same effect"
Wilson took exception TO Fishers
criticism OF the eompauy's methods
A moment later, Secretary Fisher
said, angrily:
Would Not Help Indians.
81 don't know whether YOU arc
foolinE yourself, Mr.. wilson, but you
are not fooling me. / don't think it
would help the Indians at all to have
/ the Uncle Sam Oil company in that
territory"
why not?" shouted Wilson.
! Its methods are not such that the
Indians would get much benefit re-
+ torted Fisher
/ Secretary Fisher said he opposed
/ granting the company one lease on
/ two hundred thousand acres, be-
/ cause lin the past. when companies
/ have found it to their financial in
/ terests to consolidate, they have
! found q means to evade the law and
/ get together"
/ Il think 1t would be just as well to
! keen the Uncle Sam Oil company out,
/ because I'm afraid it might yield to
/ temptation said Secretary Fisher.

POWERS AGAINST
MEETING BOARD
THINKS MAY HAVE SOMETHING UP
THEIR sLEEvE--PoLLOCk AND
MILLS DISAGREE.
GAS REDUCTION UF
VONDELEHR ORDINANCE ON
WAREHOUSES; TABLED FOR
FUTURE MEETING--SUB-
COMMITTEES NAMED.

With Chairman Morgan r. Mills
utilities last night consumed time in
referring nearly all questions before
it to subcommittee.
The first proposition which came
up was that of the establishment of a
work house for drunks and other dere-
licts, The proposed ordinance was
tabled in order that its patron, Coun-
Gilman Vondelehr. might appear be-
fore the committee and explain its
various features.
Then the proposition for q park in
the extreme northeast section of the
city. fathered by Mr.. Mills. came up.
and subcommittee was delegated to
look into every phase of the situation
and report The committee embraces
Messrs. Pollock, Melton and Mills.
The Radcliffe resolution that orna-
mental lights be placed on the side
streets from Fifth to Ninth, extend
ing TO the depot on Seventh street,
that on Fourteenth street, and to
Eighteenth street and Main, was ta-
bled for another meeting.
Reduction of Gas.
The reduction in gas question was
referred TO n subcommittee consisting
of Messrs. Powers. Mitchell and Pol
lock.
The only suggestion Of a debate
arose when the invitation from the
administrative board for a conference
with the committee was read by Clerk
Alt Mcdowell.
The board asked the committee to
name some date upon which the two
bodies might get together and talk
things over concerning the expansion
of the city and its contingencies.
Messrs. Powers and Mitchell felt
that the board should not ask the
committee to get into any conference
with them, because there might be
times when the board might be
blamed for things. and then the com
mittee would have to bear a part Of
the blame.
To Meet Administrative Board.
Messrs. Pollock. Melton and Mills
felt a little differently. and contend
ed that the conference suggested by
the board was simply one similar to
that which they have asked with the
heads of the city departments. and
that no duties were sought TO be
shirked. The resolution offered by
Mr.. Pollock, that such conference be
| held, was finally adopted.
During the debate City Engineer
Boiling said he was glad that the
committee agreed to meet the board,
! for 1t would bring the various de-
partments of the city together in
friendly way. and might result in
much good for the whole commun-
tty.
In the course of his remarks Mr.
! Boiling said that ii had been the de-
sire of his career to have a drive
way along the river front, from Gam
ble's Hill to the territory beyond the
cemeteries, and that with such
| driveway, Richmond would be on
par with any city in the country.
