The attorneys amounts charged

The attorneys amounts charged
against expense were not itemized,
the books were not at hand and the
commission did not express itself as
being pleased with the showing made.
The attorney asked for an order grant
ing reduction in the price of Heald-
ton oil and the commission declined to
grant the order.
The producers state that they will
resist the reduction. They will ask for
an order shutting down every well in
the field before they will accept one
cent reduction. -
The oil hearing in Oklahoma City
was a distinct victory for the pipe
lines as far as the northern fields are
concerned The Prairie had offered to
purchase oil at soc, and an order was
made fixing the price at SOC. That fight
is settled now until the pipe lines get
ready to lower the price again. Then
there will be another disturbance last
ing until the price is reduced. The
next fight is on with reference to the
Healdton field If the producers carry
out their plan of resistance, there will
| be no oil sold in the Healdton field,
and there will be a complete shut
down. Whether they can carry out
such a plan of resistance, is not
known, but they say they can.
Commissioner Henshaw is evidently
of the opinion that he cannot, under
the laws of this state, regulate the
price of oil. He has been a close
friend of the producers, his loyalty
has never been doubted, but he has
failed to stand pat on a price fixing

THE PIPE LINES
WIN A VICTORY

of this sum one-half belongs to the
Magnolia Pipe Line company, and the
other half belongs to the Magnolia
Petroleum Company. The attorney
said it would be necessary for his
company to reduce the price of the
Healdton crude to Acc and told the
producers if they would agree to the
reduction that there would be no use
of going before the commission with
the matter. The attorney made a
most eloquent talk, he took plenty of
time to tell his story, he made a
strong effort to get the producers to
agree to the price reduction
When it came time for the produc.
ers to have their say, they declined
to accept the reduction
Following this the attorney went be
fore the commission, and the attor
ney general and served notice upon
them that the price of oil in the Head
ton field would be reduced to 40c a
barrel beginning with October 6. Here
again Mr.. Greer went into detail tc
show the commission where it was i'm
possible for the pipe line people to pay
greater sum for the Healdton oil

they would be fined $500 day be-
ginning with October if they fail
to carry out the terms of the order.
Threaten to Buy Storage Oil.
1t Is stated that the order touch
ing the stored oil grew out of a
threat Of the pipe line company that
it would enter the field and buy for
soc the stored OIL ana keep their pipe
line busy during the winter 1t is
| estimated that the stored oil at this
time amounts to 100000 barrels. A
| hearing is to be given before any
changes will be made in the price
Of HeIldton oil. The producers claim
that almost every producing company
in the HeaIdton field was represent
ed and they assert that they will
| shut down their wells before they
will sell for less price than SOC
a barrel.

Order Issued Today.
Z. II. Dunn, vice president of the
Ardmore Producers association, re

before the commission. He states
that the commission issued an order
prohibiting Healdton field producers
from selling oil for less than soc
barrel, forbidding any purchaser
from taking it at less price than
SOC, prohibiting any person from
taking oil from the earth and selling
for a less price than soc, prohibiting
any person from selling storage oil
for less than soc until an order is
issued permitting such sale. The

Protestants who think the Cath

Hans Schmidt.
Hans Schmidt was a Roman
Catholic priest in good standing
in the City Of New York. Over
o year ago he murdered Anna
Aumuller, an unsuspecting young
woman whom he had seduced,
dismembered her body. with an
axe and secretly dumped the
parts into the Hudson River.

A PATRIOTIC WOMAN
BY MARVIN BRoWS

TN THE BOOK. woman and
Labor" by Olive Schreiner,
appears this account of a dia-
logue between Life and a Woman /;
II saw a woman sleeping. In
her sleep she dreamed Life stood
before her, and held in each hand
a gift-in the one Love, in the
other Freedom. And she said 10
the woman, 'Choosel' And the
woman waited long: and said,
Freedoml And Life said: Thou
hast well chosen. If thou hadst
said Love, ! would have given
thee that thou didst ask for; and
! would have gone from thee, and
returned TO thee no more. Now,
the day will come when / shall
return. In that day ! shall bear
both gifts in one hand"
The vision Of this great woman
peers deep into human life, and
she realized that woman, with all
her graces, and all her charms,
even love itself, prized the great
/ heritage Of Freedom equally with
man, and her choice Of that pre-
cious jewel is an index to the
character Of her sex.
This character. is typifed today
in the person Of a brave little
woman in far away 0regon-out
beyond tho great continental di-
vide-out on the great plains of
the Pacific slope, where the pio-
neer has taken his last stand, and
where the star of empire has cast
its anchor into peaceful water.
Her husband is in Jail for
speaking the trpth through the
columns of his paper, the Silver
ton, Oregon, Jo1rnal, about the
same Beast of which we read in
the Book of Revelation.
True 10 her trust, and faithful
TO that motherly instinct that will
cause a noble woman to sacrifice
even life itself that her offspring
may be fed, she is editing the lit
tie paper as best she can-fght-
ing a desperate battle with the
wolf at the door-waiting for the
day when the big iron doors at
the Salem Jail will swing open,
and allow j. E. Hosmer to again
breathe the free air of a country
dedicated to the principles of free
speech and a free press, but which
now mocks the very rocks upon
which it was builded.
She writes The Menace that she
has just paid a visit to the gov
ernor of the great state of Ore.
gon, asking for the release Of her
husband. She says she knows
that the governor pardons Grim
inals and that she can't under
stand why her husband-a man
who never committed a crime in
his life-should not be allowed TO
go free and return to his home
and family.
"Surely," she says, "there
must be something about all this
that / do not understand"
Yes, little woman-brave
woman-noble woman-there is
something about it that you do
not yet understand
Even strong men-most Of them
do not understand.
Christ understood For it was
he who said: ga prophet is
not without honor, save in his
own country"
