The story goes that Representative
Henry ID. Flood, of Virginia, chairman
of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the
House, was greatly exercised for fear
the presentation of the bill relating to
diplomatic and consular affairs by his
committee would prevent his getting
away from Washington on his wedding
trip. His marriage to Miss Anna Port
ner Is to take place April Is.
So 1t was finally decided by his con-
freres, to whom ne explained his predica-
ment. that the naval appropriation bill,
which has the right of way over all
others, is to be postponed. and during
the next ten days the diplomatic and
consular bill will be considered by the
House. Representative Flood will thus
be free to spend his honeymoon else
where than in Washington.

BRITISH SHIPS CANNOT BE

Panama, Dec. 10.-Colonel Goethals
today issued instructions for the i'm
mediate departure from Panama of
the British colliers Kirnwood and
Roddam. This step was taken in
order to avoid any question of the
good faith OF the United States re-
specting the obsNvation of neutrality
in the waters of the canal zone. The
two vessels at once went to sea.
Inquiries made by Sir c. Mallet,
British minister, as to whether these

British warships in waters of the

MccRORY FAVORS GIVING
GOVERNOR MORE POWER

Oklahoma City, Dec. l0.-That more
powers and greater latitude in the
conduct of state affairs should be Civ
en- the governor, is the belief of \. Nc
Crory of Ringling, editor of the Ring
ling News. who is candidate for
speaker at the forthcoming session of
the legislature Mr.. McCrory express
ed his views on that phase of possible
legislation, while discussing Thursday
the proposal that the matter OF select
ing the bank commissioner and the
state banking board be left entirely
in the hands of the governor.
The dissatisfaction that has arisen
over the appointment in the banking
department merely serves TO empha-
size the need of giving the governor
greater latitude in affairs OF state"
said Mr. McCrury. That political ma
neuverng was engaged in to a con
siderable extent in the recommends
tions of the executive council of the
state bankers association for bank
commissioner, especially, seems TO
have been clearly established. That
politics should be played in such Il
gathering is not strange. 1t is the in
variable rule and it does not matter
whether they are democrats or repub-
licans.
Il am instancing this matter be-
cause of its freshness on the public
mind. We are all anxious for the dem
ocratic party to make a great record
during the next four years. We know
that if the administration of Governor
Williams is TO be a success, that every
department of the state government
must be so conducted and administered
that it will be distinguished for real
public service. The governor must
bear the brunt of mistake and attacks
resulting from them. II is to be pre-
sumed, on his election by the people of
Oklahoma. that he is fitted for the task
and since he must largely be the target
for such opposition and criticism as
may develop. it is only fair and 1t is
consistent with the theory of practical
government that he be given full pow
er to protect and guard his admins
tration. As ii is, the governor does
not possess sufficient power to do
that The administration of governor
Cruce has been conspicuous example
of the lack of power in the executive
hands.
There is the matter OF economy
about which We have heard great
deal during the campaign just closed.

OIL and GAS NEWS

Robert WatChorn who left here some
weeks ago for New York, where he
hoped to effect the sale of two and a
half million dollars worth of the stock
of the Samoset Oil Company for the
purpose of enabling the company to
build pipe line to Gainesville, will
return here next Monday. He is said
to be on his way from New York to his
home in Los Angeles. A rumor states
that Mr.. WatchOrn is returning earlier
than he expected on account of drilling
conditions which have recently devel.
oDcd in section g. II Is claimed that
the SHELLEY 4 Russell well No. , which
Is making 1000 barrels of oil has been
exempted by the state corporation
commission. 1t was shut in for a time
by order of the commission and when
II was exempted, the back runs were
ordered to be made good. The well
was located $50 feet from other wells
when it was drilled, and owners of ad-
joining property are of the opinion
that the we'll should not have been eX-
cmpted, and it Is likely to result in a
breaking away from the orders of the
commission and in an active drilling
campaign in section g. Should such
a thing occur in that section, the
drilling campaign will finally reach all
parts of the field as the drilling of one
well always calls for one or more of
sets The producers are making every
effort to hold down drilling at this
time when SO low percentage of the
oil Is being run.
