Oil Land Iniunctions Many.

Shreveport. - Injunctions growing
out of an oil land tangle came thlcK
and fast Saturday. The first was sued
out by A. c. Loucks, owner OF the land
upon which the big Pine Island gusher
was brought in by the Star OIL Com
pany, and which burned for seven
DAYS, is located. He set up that the
Gulf Refining Company was attempt
ing forcibly to enter upon the land
The Gulf Company came back with
another injunction, claiming to hold
the land in lease from the Caddo levee
board, and a deputy was hurried TO the
scene during the night to serve papers
on Loucks, the journey being made IN
an automobile by Deputy Sheriff A. r.
Haynes.
The neighborhood of the big gushef
is now covered with derricks, and
great development is in progress. D.
c. Richardson has just brought III
well at Pine Island which is making
a little over 100 barrels of oil an hour

Louisiana

From all corners
of The great State
Estimate 10000, 900 Bushels Corn.

New Orleans.-The biggest corn
crop in history is getting ready to
move in Louisiana. The question OF
market. which has been worrying
some OF the big growers, is partially
solved through the agreement OF a
New Orleans exporter to take severai
million bushels at the September OPP
ton, which is about 90 cents. 81
Louis banks will furnish some OF the
money for moving the crops. These
arrangements have been made through
the state publicity commission.
Southern Pacific officials estimate
the Louisiana corn crop this year al
so OOO. 900 bushels. Others put the es-
innate 10 900, 900 lower, but statistics
are united on the point that the crop
will be in excess of 60,000,OOO. The
crop will sum up S40,0OO,OOO or S5O,-
OOO. 900 as a value at any rate. Louis
lana made its corn-growing record In
1910. with a crop of 53,000.00O bushels.
The acreage was large that year and
the season exceptionally fine. Last
year the crop ran to 35,OOO.OOO bushels
Reports from every section OF the
state are TO the effect that corn is
making a new record in growth. The
harvest has already begun, but II VIII
be thirty days before the height of the
season is reached. The acreage in
corn is the largest in history, and the
natural yield this year is above the
average

ENVOY LIND AND HUERTA CONFER
ERTA MAKES DENIAL OF
SENDING ULTIMATUM.
Washington Is 1000 Words in
length-President Hopeful.

Washington-Hopefu though some
what puzzled by Tuesdays develop
ments, administration officials anx-
iously awaited the receipt of the
Huerta governments complete reply
to the American communication pre-
scented by John Lind, personal repre-
sentative of President Wilson in Mex
leo.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan had received during the past
twenty-four hours:
A summary from Mr.. Lind giving
briefly the Huerta governments re-
lection of the American proposals.
About one thousand words of the
text of the Huerta reply. reported to
be 1000 words long.
A message from Mr. Lind stating
that he had been in conference at an
early hour with Provisional President
Huerta; that the interview had been
cordial and was brought about at the
suggestion of Huerta himself.
A denial by Charge d'Affaires
O'Shaugnessy, authorized by Provis-
ional President Huerta, declaring
there was no truth of an ultimatum
demanding recognition by the United
States.
This information, coming in discon-
nected cipher messages, which admin
istration officials themselves confess

was given to members of the senate
committee on foreign relations, repub-
licans as well as democrats, and had
the effect of staving off debate on the
Mexican question following sensation
al reports Of a threatened severance
of relations by the Huerta govern
ment.
Officials, though somewhat skepti-
cal of the outcome of the present
negotiations, took the view that moth
ing could be done by the United
States, at least until Mr.. Lind actually
concluded his parleys with Huerta
and his cabinet, with whom The Ameri'
can envoy established pleasant un
official relations.
One thing which confused the situa
ton Tuesday was the fact that only
the first part of the Huerta note re
jecting the American proposal had
been received. This was couched in
cordial terms, setting forth the rea
sons why mediation or outside inter
ference is impossible of accomplishing
peace in Mexico. 1t cited particularly
that the pride of the Mexican people
could not brook the settlement of ar
international controversy at foreign
hands, but the principal argument was
not reached in this installment of the
document. In the meantime news thai
subsequently Mr.. Lind had resumed
negotiations with Huerta inspired &
feeling of hope that something tangi
BILE might result from the Interchange
of views.

BIG OIL WELL BROUGHT IN NEAR ORANGE
Development Is Result OF Eleven
Years Work-it Is Believed tieio
Is Extensive and Rich.

Orange, Tex.-Orange County's first
producing oil well was brought in
Monday night in the midst of rain
and electrical storm on the Josh Bland
farm, seven or eight miles west OF
town. The we'll flowed in heads of
from fifty minutes to hour all night,
with intervals getting closer together.
The capacity of the well is estimated
at from 1000 to 1000 barrels day.
with baling incomplete.
A test of the oil from the well was
made by ]. NJ Davidson, an oil eX-
pert, now in charge of the Orange OH
Refining Company plant at Orange.
The test shows 204 specific gravity,
which is some better than the Vinton
and Beaumont oil. The Vinton oil
tests a little better than 10 specific
gravity.
The development Of this well is the
first result of a struggle beginning
eleven years ago by Josh Bland and
his associates. ]. w. Link, leading
spirit among Houston capitalists, drill
ed the first we'll on this tract of land
about eleven years ago, following the
discovery of gas bubbling up at the
edge of Cow Bayou, a few hundred
feet from the present site of the pro
ducing we'll The Stribling Oil Com
pany put down the next well on the
Lon Garrison farm, near by.
Later the Guffey Oil Company put
down a well, which it lost on account
of twisting off pipe.
The development of the new wei
has proved a revelation, in that Il
shows very plainly that the wells drill
ed heretofore stopped short of the
much-sought treasure. 1t is quite pos
sible that the holes sunk from 2,OO'
to $500 feet will be redeemed anC
deepened with the view of bringing IL
oil wells instead of the fine artesiaI
wells.

Iianite Deposit Discovered.

Flatonia, Tex-A Ignite deposit has
been discovered on the H. H. Harrison
farm three miles north of Flatonia.
The discovery was made when a well
was being sunk on the place, and the
Ignite was discovered at depth of
twenty-three feet. The vein was meas
ured and proved to be five feet thick.
Mr.. Harrison at once made investiga'
tions relative to the area of the de-
post and as to the thickness, and a
number of wells were sunk at different
places. This showed that there are
about twenty acres underlaid with the
coal, and the thickness runs from 7C
to 100 feet.

Brito Gets Bail.

New Orleans. La.-What was consid-
cred a delicate situation between the
United States and Mexico was some
what cleared Wednesday when En-
manuel c. Brito, former governor Of
the Mexican state of Campeche, ar
rested on charges of murder and rob-
berry in Mexico, was released on bond
of $4,000. 1t was stipulated that Brito
was to report every day to the United
States marshal at New Orleans for
forty days, the time given in treaty
with Mexico for that government to
produce proof of guilt. Brito does not
deny that he killed one of Huerta's
men when he came to arrest him, but
argues that it was done in time OF
warfare, is political offense and not
extraditable. He was arrested on in
structions of Attorney General Nc
Reynolds several days ago.

TURKS OCCUPY STRATEGIC POSITIONS
Bulgaria Protests to the Powers.
Turks Intend to Hold
Adrianople.

London-The situation between Bull
garia and Turkey is becoming critical.
Prince Said Hahn, the Turkish grand
vizier, admits that the Turks have oc-
cupied Demotica, twenty-five miles
south of Adrianople, and other strate-
gic points on the right bank OF the
Martha river, but he explains this
was done only for the protection of
the railway which runs along the
stream Said Hahn denies that the
Turks have occupied Dedeaghatch, the
terminus of the railroad on the Gulf of
Enos. or that they are advancing on
Gumuljina, about twenty-five miles to
the northwest.
The porte clearly has not the slight
est intention of abandoning Adria-
nople, where Enver Bey has an army
of 100000 troops which will soon be
denials, it appears only too probable
that the Turks are projecting, if they
have not already begun, the advance
against Bulgaria.

HARRY THAW CAUGHT IN CANADA
Taken After a Lively Chase and Faces
Deportation Under Canadian Laws.
Will Fight for Liberty.

Sherbrooke, Quebec. - Harry K.
Thaw, cut short in his flight from the
state hospital for the criminal insane
at Matteawan. N. Y, by arrest Tues
day at the village of st. Hermenen-
glide de Garford. just over the inter
national line from New Hampshire,
prepared in his cell in the county Jail
Tuesday night to. fight against being
sent back to the United States.
Thaw faces deportation on the
ground that he is an undesirable alien
and extradition on a warrant charging
him with bribery. The warrant al
ready issued in New York State for his
arrest on a charge of conspiracy will
not suffice to extradite him, in the
opinion of local authorities. These
authorities received word that the dis
trict attorney of Duchess County, in
which Matteawan is located, was on
his way prepared to swear to a war
rant charging Thaw with bribery-an
extraditable offense-if necessary.
In his own defense Thaw claims he
was merely passing through Canada
on his way to Detorit when his passage
was interrupted by his arrest. He ex-
hibited what he claimed to be trans
portation to Detroit in support of his
claim and cited the case of Jack John
son to bear out his contention that he
can not be sent back to the United
States by Canadian authorities so long
as he was simply passing through the
country and intends to go beyond its
borders.
There is every indication that Thaw
intends to wage a bitter fight against
extradition, deportation, or both.
Two men were arrested with Thaw,
! but liberated later at Coaticook. They
are believed to be confederates who
aided Thaw in his escape. The two
men refused to give their names or say
anything about themselves.

OVER 100 FISHERMEN DIE OF STARVATION
Colony of Fishermen and Their Fami'
lies Perish at Nova Zembia,
in Russia.

Paris. A terrible narrative OF
death by starvation of more than
100 fishermen and their families in
Nova .Zembla is told in telegram
from ST. Petersburg to Paris Saturday.
Last winter was very severe and
the fishermen were unable to secure
fresh supplies of food at the usual
period, and the sea being frozen, it
was impossible to obtain fish.
A scientific expedition visiting the
islands found skeletons of the fisher
men and their wives and children
lying in the open. Their huts were
wrecked by wind. Three dead women
still carrying infants in their arms
were found. In one of the huts was
found diary written by one OF the
fishermen.
One of the last entries read: I'VE
have no more provisions and we can
not secure any fish. Vessels were
seen approaching today, but it was
only an illusion. 1t is terrible to see
our children dying of hunger. They
come to us and cry for food. We are
reduced to eating our wooden gar
menti We are still keeping on hop
| ing for help. All the children are
dead We are now a party of four
| fishermen anG two women. Our suf-
ferings are indescribable. Two men
| just died They tried to stave off
hunger by eating the flesh of their
dead comrades"
The diary ends: 81 am the last sur
vivor. L am very feeble and am trem-
bling and my eyes are failing"

Mr.. Carmody holds that the assem-

when the governor is impeached by
the assembly" says the opinion, "all
of his powers are automatically sus-

the impeachment proceedings dismiss

the meantime, the lieutenant governor
acts as governor. This is the plain
intent of the constitution. Any other
