FINDS JOKER IN BILL.
Senator Thomas Blocks Passage Of
Mineral Land Measure.

Senator Thomas of Colorado yesterday
blocked the passage Of the Sterling bin
for the disposal of mineral lands within
Indian reservations. because he said it
contained a joker. which would withdraw
all public lands containing oil. natural
gas, phosphate. nitrate potash and as
phaltic minerals outside as well as in
side Indian reservations from entry.
Il understand the Interior Department
believes the present mineral laws are
not applicable to oil and gas lands but
they have been applicable for thirty
years said Senator Thomas.
Senator Sterling was willing to amend
his bill 50 as to expressly apply to Indian
reservations. but the bin went over.

one Confederate regiment has its place
marked with anything but what the gov

Secretary Garrison advocates placing
Porto Ricans in the majority in the upper
legislative branch OF the Porto Rican
government as was done in the Phillip
pines at the advent of Gov. Harrison s
administration, but he says he is not
ready to say when such action should be
taken. The personnel of this branch OF
the insular government is named by the
