it valuable in oil and gas, was with
drawn from allotment by order of
President Wilson entered late today,
pending action by Congress- Among
the properties covered are three
tracts known as the Coker, Atkins

the Cushing oil field, and said to be
worth $10,0OO,OO0. A resolution by
Representative Murray of Oklahoma
Withdrawing the three tracts from
allotment and giving them the status
of Creek public domain, passed the
house during the closing days of con-
gress. A similar proposition in the
Indian appropriation bill was elimi-
mated on a point of order and Sem

threeline amendment to the bill
which would have answered the pur-
pose had the Indian bill not been de-
feated
Titles to the three tracts are in
volved in suits pending in the federal
court of Oklahoma, and a few days
ago a receiver was appointed for the
Atkins tract. If the presidents order
is not set aside by the courts, the
oil royalties from the tracts men
toned will go to the tribe in place
of Indian claimants, whose rights
have been disputed by the tribal au-
thorities.

MOVE TO SOUTH AMERICA

j. Holmes Akers, one of the most
prominent citizens of this county or
section of the state, has sold out his
bottling works and is contemplating
moving to South America, where he
has a son in business. Mr.. Akers

succeeded in establishing string of
what in America are termed five
and ten-cent stores, in the larger
cities, and wants his father to return
with him. Mr.. Akers says there is
a great opportunity in that country
for hustlers and this war has made
ii possible for American merchants
and manufacturers to capture the
trade hitherto held by the warning
nations of Europe.
Mr.. Akers has been a resident of
this section for many years, in fact is
a pioneer. and his departure would
cause genuine regret.

Germans Sink More Ships.

London, March 15.-The submarine
U-29, one of the largest and fastest
of the German underwater craft, had
successful three days off the Sicily
, Islands and in the English channel,
where on Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday she succeeded in sinking four
British steamers and one French
steamer and in damaging three 9TH
ers.
The German commander gave the
crews of most steamers time to leave
their vessel and in some cases towed
the ships lifeboats with the crew to
passing steamers by which they were
brought to port.
According to the report issued by
the war office last night, the Ger
mans on Saturday morning delivered
several minor attacks and in the af-
ternoon a very heavy one, which were
all repulsed. The total number of
BAAoShSio -dhcu III luTtt udyS was
1,72O, while it is estimated that the
total German losses were not far
short of 10000.
British airmen have also been
active again and have DESTROYED a
train at Don, short distance from
Lille. This cooperation between the
air and land forces has become more
pronounced, these airmen always be-
ing active when any fighting is in
progress to obstruct the movements
of German troops.
The Belgian army continues to
gain a little ground at the bend OF
the river User, and in Champagne,
the Argonne and the Vosges there
has been fighting OF varying import
ance. The Germans have again
bombarded Ypres. Scissors and
Rheims. In the latter two towns the

No Concession by Austria.

Rome, March 15.-A Trieste cor
respondent reports that Emperor
Franz Joseph yesterday received in
audience Baron Won Burian, minister
of foreign affairs, who subsequently
presided over a cabinet council and
conferred with the German ambas-
sador.
Baron Won Burian communicated
to the emperor Prince Won Bulow's
proposal for averting Italys inter-
vention by the immediate cession of
the Trentino and rectification of the
Italo- Austrian frontier. Despite the
urgent solicitations of the kaiser, the
emperor absolutely refused to sane
tion any cession of territory to Italy
and insisted on Prince Won Bulow's
negotiations with the Italian govern
ment being broken off.
Since this decision is irrevocable
and has been approved by all the
ministers, including Baron Won Burian
himself, who formerly was in favor
of Prince Won Bulow's proposal,
special foreign office messenger has
been sent TO Rome as bearer of the
emperor's refusal. The latter will
shortly be announced in the press
and the motives will then be ex-
planned.
Meanwhile Germany is said to
have been called upon to send Ba-
varian troops to the Tyrol, where
the concentration has already been
started, and the Notifications of the
Trentino are expected to be fully
manned within a week.

ployes at Trieste, including the police
are compelled to take oath that in

bEACHEY IN
DARING STUNT
MEETS DEATH
THOUSANDS WITNESS KING OF
THE AIR DROP 1000 FEET SUN.
DAY AT SAN FRANCISCO -
FELL IN BAY.

0dn francisco, MdrCn l4.-Ine
spectacular career of Lincoln Beach
ey, one of the most daring of Amer
ican aviators, was ended Sunday
when he fell to his death at the
Panama Pacific exposition in sight
Of thousands of spectators.
Beachey was completing his second
fight of the day when the accident
occurred. Having previously electri-
fled the crowd with a series OF aerial
somersaults, the aviator sought to
add an additional thrill by making
one of the sensational perpendicular
drops which usually featured his
flights.
The fatal fall was attributed to the
fact that Beachey attempted his
Stunts" in a monoplane. An ex-
ceptionally large crowd had been at
tracted to the fair grounds to see
whether he would attempt the same
daring methods in the new machine
that he had performed in his trim
little biplane.
On the first flight all went well
and the aviator's familiar tricks were
INDUCED in with the exception of the
perpendicular drop. This Beachey
had saved for the climax. 1t proved
too much of a strain for the frame
of the monoplane.
The machine was at an altitude of
about 1000 feet when 'Beachey shut
off his power. For several thousand
feet it dropped head-on for the earth
and then the aviator grasped his
control levers to adjust the planes
for the graceful descent which had
characterized his previous flights.
At that point the wings crumpled
like a collapsed umbrella and the
aeroplane, turning over and over in
its fall, plunged into San Francisco
bay, narrowly missing vessel lying
at the government transport docks.
Thousands of spectators rushed to
the nearby water front, but with the
exception of a few splintered frag-
ments of the aeroplane floating on the
surface of the bay, no sign of the
wrecked machine could be seen.
Launches put out Immediately,
equipped with graphing hooks and a
boats crew from the battleship Ore
gon, which was anchored in the
stream short distance away, joined
in an attempt to recover the body
of the aviator, who was strapped to
his machine under forty feet of
water.
The body was recovered shortly
after o'clock

He has been a strunch Republican for

State Senate. We subscribe to every
word of Brother Youngs' If there IS

citizen and peerless Republican leader
C. w. Miller.-Ellis County News.
The Free Press heartily endorses the
favorable mention made by the Oakley
Graphic and the Ellis County News, of
G. w. Miller as candidate sor state
senator; and from our view point it
would be good politics to give him the
nomination without opposition. He
will be sure to carry Ellis county at the
election, which would placd him in ad-
vance of any other republican that
could be nominated.

The bleaching process in most general
use generates nitrogen peroxide by

gas into the flour.
The United States Board of Food In
spection IN their Decision No. 100 has

that flour bleached with NITROGEN
PEROXIDE is an adulterated product
under the FOOD and DRUGS Act of
1906. This was IN 1909 and at that
time the shipment OF bleached -four on
interstate business was prohibited. This
order was modified later and the sale of
bleached flour permitted, subject to
state regulation. Pennsylvania pro-
