Seek Oil on State Lands

Helena, July 15.-If oil or gas is
struck On the $4,000 acres of land the
state las leased to various parties to
drill for those commodities. taxes in
Montana may decline, for the state
will receive royalties of from 10 to
1919 per cent on the output. Since
the excitement the last week in the
Sweetgrass hills in Hill county, a
number of inquiries concerning leases
OF state land have been received by
Register Sidney Miller.
Since obtaining the leases the les
ees have been busy arranging for the
installation of drilling machinery, and
operations will be started by several
of tie oil seekers this month, it is ex.
pected. If the Montana field turns
out as well as did the Oklahoma or
California fields, Montana taxpayers
will have their burden materially
lightened inasmuch as the state will
receive royalties on oil and gas found.

THEIR COOPERATIVE PLAN
WINS IN DECISIVE VOTE
Philadelphia Trolley Workers to
Continue Dealing With Employers
as Individuals.

PHILADELPHIA, July 15.-Announce-
ment was made today that the vote cast
yesterday by the motormen and conduc-
tors of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company resulted in the men deciding
to continue for another year the present
cooperative plan by which the men deal
as individuals with the company rather
than through a labor organization. About
G, 800 men are involved.
The cooperative plan. in force here since
1911. is said to be the only one Of its
kind in the country. The company sets
aside % per cent Of the gross passenger
receipts into a fund from which wages
are paid. The wages Of the men have
been increased since the strike Of 1910
from a maximum of % cents an hour to a
maximum of 30 cents for men in the
service five years. The minimum wage
for new men Is 25 cents an hour.
A feature Of the plan is the election by
the men of cooperative committeeman,
who are expected to look after the inter-
ests OF the motormep and conductors.
The Amalgamated Association OF Street
and Electric Railway Employees Is opposed
to the cooperative plan, taking the
ground that the men can deal more ad-
vantageously with the company through
an organization.
The vote was 8, 4Os for the plan and 2,sO1
against 1t.

STORY CORRECT, But:
Justice Gould Points Out "a Few
Errors About His Entering
Race for Congress.

Justice Ashley NJ. Gould Of the Dis
trict Supreme Court today assured The
Star that the story printed about him
and his plans to enter Congress in q
morning newspaper is correct-except:
That his farm is not in Prince Georges
county, but in Anne Arundel county.
That his summer home is not at Ocean
View. Md. but at Ocean City, Md.
That he is not spending his vacation, 50
but is still sitting on the bench.
That he is not about to resign from
the District bench.
That he is not planning to enter the
contest for Congress in the fifth Mary
land district
The first-page story in q morning
paper was that Justice Gould was ex-
pected to make the announcement Of his
resignation from the bench today, that
he probably would soon enter the con-
test for Congress. and that his friends
felt sure he would get the republican
nomination and easily defeat Frank o.
Smith. democrat, who is serving his first
term.

Col Harts. engineer officer in charge Of
public buildings and grounds, has made q
contract with a local firm for setting two
memorial stones in the inner walls of the
Washington Monument. One of these
stones is the contribution Of the state
of Washington and the other one is con-
tributed by the state Of Connecticut. The
stone representing the Nutmeg state Is
to replace an older one in bad condition.
The Washington stone il Of granite and
the Connecticut stone Of sandstone.
Both are of regulation size-two feet by
four feet eight inches. Each Is inscribed
with the coat Of arms Of tho state repre-
sented.
It is probable that public ceremonies
will mark the formal dedication of these
stones. The Colorado memorial stone. a
block of black yule marble, recently was
placed in position in the Monument. It
is understood that the state of Idaho
also has arranged to place memorial
stone in the Monument.
