and Successful Scheme.

Washington, D. c., May 19.-Begin-
ming today at Independence, Kansas,
hearings will be held in various places
In Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas ana
Louisiana on the feasibility of the
United States government construct
approximately 600 miles long from the
Mid-Continent oil fields of Oklahoma
to convenient port on the Gulf of
Mexico, to supply the navy with its
fuel oil. In accordance with a senate
resolution, Commissioner of Indian AT
fairs Cato Sells and Lieutenant ]. o.
Richardson of the navy, left Washing
ton tonight to conduct these hearings
and report on the plan.
The itinerary after leaving indie
pendence will be Bartlesville, May %;
Tulsa, May %; Oklahoma City, May
81; Dallas, May %; Galveston, June 1;
Texas City, June Q; Houston, June 8;
Beaumont, June A, where delegations
from Port Arthur, June 5, morning;
Orange June 5, evening; Baton Rouge,
June 8.
Construction and maintenance of
such government oil pipe line was
urged today upon Secretary Lane of
the interior, by delegation of indie
pendent oil producers of Oklahoma.
1t was explained to the secretary that
the oil business in Oklahoma for some
time had been going from bad to
worse. The producers said a reduction
in the price of oil at the wells first
was made from $1.05 to rs cents a
barrel; and only recently the price
again was cut from rs to so cents.
The transportation of the oil through
pipe lines was said to be under the
control of refiners, leaving the pro-
ducers helpless.
The Oklahomans urged the govern
ment could build pipe line for about
$4,000 mile, which not only would
enable Independent producers to get
their oil to market, but would pay
a good return upon the money in
vested.

4uERTA AGREES TO QUIT.
Realizes He Can't stay and win Agree
to Step Down.

Washington, May 19-President VIII
son today told y American commits
sioners who will leave today for the
mediation conference at Niagara
Falls. Ont, that the United States
government regards the settlement of
the Mexican problem in a definite
form as a prerequisite to the with
drawal of the American forces from
Vera Cruz.
The president gave the American
commissioners. Justice Lamar Of the
supreme court of the United States;
Frederic w. Lehman, former solicit
tor general and Diplomatic Secretary
II. Perceval Dodge, no specific instruc-
lions. He told them to place them
selves in a receptive mood and await
proposals from the three South Ameri-
can mediators. But at the same time
he outlined to his representatives that
peace In Mexico seemed to him to be
conditioned on the elimination of the
Huerta administration and the estab-
lshment in its place of strong pro-
visional government which would con-
duct an election giving fair treatment
to all factions and parties and guaran-
teeing, moreover, a solution of the
agrarian problem and other interna-
ti0nal difficulties which have bred
revolution in the southern republic
during the last three years.
The president wishes the Mexican
question settled on comprehensive
lines that will take into account the
economic principles for which Zapata
in the south, as well as Carranza in
the north. have been fighting and
win at the same time. conserve the
rightful interests of the people in the
territory now controlled by the Huerta
government.
During the day a dispatch came to
I one OF the foreign diplomats here from
. diplomatic source in Mexico City
saying General Huerta was ready to
resign and would permit his represent
tatiyes at the mediation conference
to eliminate MIN II Ii should become
absolutely necessary.

UNABLE TO SEE THE JOKE
Probably Druggist Was Of the Same
Opinion as His Small colored
Errand Boy.

A druggist, who had a little cOlored
errand boy, fell into the habit of play
ing practical jokes on him. One day
the druggist was mixing some com.
bustible oils. Suddenly there was a
terrific explosion, which hurled the
chemist In one direction and the little
darby In another, while the whole
place burst forth into flames.
After a time black figure emerged
from under a counter, whimpering and
rubbing a rapidly growing bump on
his head. He limped over to where
the druggist sat, half-dazed, with a
deep cut across his forehead.
"You hadn't oughter play wild me
dat-a-way, doctor" he said, reproach-
fully. Dat shore amt no way to
play!"

in triumph and related the story to

cabbases az Real Estate.

Wonders never cease in American
law. Here comes judge in our own
state, trying the case of man who
entered his neighbours garden and
pinched head of cabbage. The judge
decides that it was not larceny of per
sonal property at all, and hence not
basis of criminal action; but the
cabbage heads are real estate, and
that the neighbours remedy is to bring
a civil action contesting title. We
have eaten garden truck-spinach and
lettuce for instance-which tasted like
real estate. But we never knew be-
fore that to steal it was not theft. And
after a cabbage head is eaten what
good is the title? Now, If it had been
franchise or an election that was
stolen, 1t would have been less surpris
Ing in the law to let the culprit go
free; but who would ever have thought
that the science of judicial hairsplit-
ting would finally be successfully in
voked to protect a plain, everyday cab
bage thief?-Pittsburgh Press.

FEDERAL MONEY FOR ROADS
Appropriation Of S5oo,ooo, to BE
Divided Among Thlrty-Eight
States Is Small Beginning.

The information conveyed through
the Americans Washington reports
concerning the apportionment of S10,-
900 to this state from the federal APP
preparation of 100000 to assist in
building post roads in the various
states is important when the full sig
nificance is considered. The appro-
priation Of 100000. to be divided
among forty-eight states. is a very
small beginning in the way of building
government post roads, but it is a be-
ginning, says the Baltimore American.
It is Of great significance that the
government has made start in the
direction Of federal aid in road build
ing. The $4,000 apportioned to Mary
land goes to pay for one-third the cost
of a short section Of road in Mont
gomery county.

RESULTS WILL BE INDIRECT
Missouri Roads Received but Tenn
porary observation-disclosures
Built Slowly and LaborIously.

The chief results Of the holiday of
roadmaking recently promoted by the
governor of Missouri are likely to be
indirect. After having toiled and
sweated in the sun those who took
part will doubtless have a stronger in
terest in supporting good roads legis-
lation, whether or not they are as
keen to take part in the actual labor
another year. But, while the Missouri
roads may have received large tenn
porary repairs and improvements,
such holiday, no matter how many
participate in it, can hardly accom-
plish much in the way of permanent
road making, says the Springfield Re-
publican. And it is permanent road
making of which the country stands in
need. Without depreciating the Mis-
souri, performance it may be recalled
that the Romans, the greatest road
makers the world has known, did not
do their work in spasmodic festivals;
the roads that they buht to last for
centuries were built slowly and la.
boriously.

The Labrador Coast.

The Labrador coast on the Atlantic,
from the Straits of Belle Isle north to
Labrador reef, the eastern point of
Ungava bay, belongs to Newfound-
land. Part Of Ungava, now New Que
bee, which was lately added to the
Province Of Quebec, was at one time
called the Labrador Peninsula. The
Atlantic coast is bold and rugged, and
is washed by an icy Arctic current,
which is responsible for its low mean
annual temperature Of "a degrees Fab
renheit. The permanent coast popula-
ton is small and composed largely OF
half-breeds, but there is a summer
migratory population Of some 10000
engaged In the shore fisheries, which
are remarkably productive. Labrador
was probably first discovered by the
Norsemen about 1000, rediscovered
by the Cabots in 1497. and was early
frequented by Basque fishermen and
later by Bretons, who founded in 1920,
a town called Brest in Bradore bay,
the ruins of which may still be. seen.
The peninsula was transferred by the
treaty of Paris (1763) to Great Brit
ain, and the south and east shores
we're handed to Newfoundland. The
narrow strip on the east coast, now
known as Labrador, has an area OF
10000 square miles.
