The local oil men held a meeting
last night at the court house and
President Franklin Of the Ardmore
Producers association read the COM
promise agreement made with the
Magnolia Pipe Line company, and
explained as he read the different
provisions of the agreement, and re-
counted the fight that was made by
both sides. The comments of the
oil men were of gratitude to Mr.
Franklin. He was considered the
fighting force of the organization,
although he was ably assisted in
his work by other members of the
association. Many here said it was
the only victory ever won by the
producers in . pipe line fight, and
there is much rejoicing. The Tul-
sans were doubtful about results.
but when victory was won, they
congratulated the Ardmore oil bunch
and pledged them their financial
and moral support from this time
on in all their undertakings. The
fight resulted in a notable victory.
if an order had been issued it might
have been tied up for many months
in the court but the happy turn OF
affairs guided by Mr.. Franklin re-
suited in a compromise, the terms
Of which will be executed at once
and oil investments are worth a
great deal more today than they
We're a week ago. 1t is difficult to
estimate just how much the victory
will be worth to Ardmore and TO
the fields, and to every man who has
holdings in the Healdton field. II
was one of the most courageous
fights ever made, and the results
ov that it was directed along
intelligent lines. Mr.. Franklin de-
serves the sincere gratitude Of ey-
cry citizen, because the victory
means much to all. The full text of
the compromise agreement is pub

file damage suits based on the de
sructjon of portion of their crops
by the overflow of the oil in the
Healdton field The Bayou was out
of its banks and the oil covered the
surface of the water, and when fire
was set to it, a sheet OF flame ruined
growing crops. One farmer states
that a pecan tree, two feet in thick
ness. was burned down, and fell on
his farm. The Bayou bottom is not
large. and the overflow did not cover
a big area, but the portion covered,
is ruined. There were two oyerilows,
oil was wasted on both occasions
and both times FIRE was set to the

the responsibility, and it is doubtful

DECIDE THURSDAY
 ON VALLEY STREET
WHETHER BROAD THOROUGH FARE TO PASSENGER DEPOT
 IS TO BE SWITCHING YARDS.
Railroad Commission Win Be Here Thursday to Make Further Investi-
 gation Before Entering Final Order.

Whether Valley street shall be made a broad and beautiful thorough. fare opening to the passenger station 0. the Iron Mountain railroad to give first impressions as favorable as pos. slDle to visitors, or whether the freight switch on that street shall re. main there to serve the interests of the few interested, will be an issue decided finally Thursday when che Arkansas Railroad Commission makes a personal visit to Hot Springs.
 1t is said one of the commissioners has taken an attitude favorable to keeping the freight switch on Valley street, but it is believed that the com mission can be convinced into being unit on the removal after the three members have gone over the situation personally.
 There is much public interest in the proposal to have the switch removed. since the improvement of this broad tGoroughfare and the paving of it to point below the new passenger sta ton, are anticipated, and no doubt will be carried out as soon as the freight switch can be ordered re- moved from the street
 The commission heard number of witnesses on the situation at a meet ing he'd in Little Rock about two weeks ago, but did not announce a decision. apparently being rather dis posed to make a personal survey ot the situation before taking action, The Iron Mountain interests, the city interests, and the public generally, want the switch removed, and w>s make it's attitude clear on the situa- ton when the commission arrives ln- morrow.

MORE RIGID RULES
 IN DIVORCE CASES
CHANCELLOR HENDERSON LAYS DOWN SOME IDEA FOR CON-
 SlDERATloN OF THE BAR.
Divorce Laws Are Less Understood. Says Court, Than Other Statutes.

Chancellor henderson in announe- ing some decisions on divorce mat ters, took occasion to lay down some rules and ideas concerning divorces, that are most interesting reading, par ticularly when coming from a jurist who has given the subject the deep consideration Judge Henderson has. He declares that suits for divorce are not mere actions between inGS yidual parties, but that the state itself is interested; and goes further and says that the laws of divorce are less understood by the bar than any other statutes of like nature when they should be best understood dnd more rigidly followed.
 In part he said, in handing down an opinion:
 Tt has been the rule of this court to permit answers to he filed in li- yorce cases at any time before jGdg- ment from the fact it is apparent to the court there is large majority of divorce cases that there is a coliI- sion between the parties that one shall bring the suit and the other will not defend, the husband not to fight the wifes application, providing she will not ask alimony, dil o1 which matters are kept absolutely from the knowedge of the court.
 Such agreements are an absolute wrong, as no divorce should or would he granted if such state of facts come to the knowledge of the court.
 "A suit for divorce is ~Gt an action in contract, or tort, nor is it @ criminal procedure but a D roceeding in rem 1t is not merely a suit be- tween the husband and wife, but the state itself is interested. To change the marriage status is to affect a thing independent of the parties, and a proceeding not against the parties in personam but against their status in rem.
 'ln a divorce case there Nn be no admissions or confessions and the allegations of the complainant must be proved by proper and legal testi- mony, properly brought before the court And for these causes l have refused hearing diyorces except cn orai evidence before the court CT on dispositions taken in strict conformity to the statute.
 Since I have been on the bench l have come to the conclusion that the law of divorce is less understood by the courts and lawyers than almost any other branch of equity jurispru- dence. And with the amount of divorce litigation now, and for years past coming before the courts, 1t should be the best understood. have no reference to the attorneys in this case, or to any particular attor- ney, but to the bar generally, and to myself particularly when a practi- tioner"
