EXPECT osAGE LEASES SOON
Oil and Gas Operators to Washington
for Further Conferences.

Washington, March 31-Oil and gas
operators in the Usage nation of
Oklahoma will return to Washington.
Sunday for further conferences with
Secretary Franklin d. Lane of the
interior department, who will return
from the Pacific coast next week
The operators look for a definite
announcement from the interior de-
partment regarding renewal of the
lease to 6S0,000 acres of Usage In
dian land, which lease they antici-
pate will run for remainder of the
period of Usage tribal relations,
or until 1881.
The department has two bids, one
being from the Indian Territory Hum
mating company, which now holds
the blanket lease and subleases 640,-
600 acres. The other offer is from
the sublessees for the areas they
hold, and they have indicated a will
ingness to continue relations with the
Indian Territory company, as In the
past.
The parent company, It is under
stood, is prepared to establish an
oil refinery and construct an oil pipe
line to the gulf.
Secretary Lane will be in FL Reno

United States May Protest.

Washington, April 1.-While no Of
fetal notification of the death of
an American, Leon c. Thresher, on
the British liner Falaba, sunk by a
German submarine, had reached the
American government today, officials
viewed the situation as fraught with
grave possibilities.
Secretary Bryan said he expected
Ambassador Page in London to sub
NIT a full report on the case if ad-
vices there confirmed reports OF
Thresher's death but added that no
inquiries had been received by the
department, nor had any been made
of Mr.. Page. Officials generally were
not inclined to discuss the matter.
1T is known, however, that in view
OF the language of the American note
of inquiry in reply to the German
notification of submarine blockade
of England, the facts in this case
will be awaited with the greatest
interest That note contained a
plain warning that the loss of Ameri-
can lives through the German pro-
gram of sinking merchant vessels
would be viewed as an unfriendly
act.
1t was suggested in some circles
that the German position would be
to place responsibility for the de-
struction of the Falaba upon her
captain, contending that his effort TO
escape rendered the vessel liable to
attack under the rules OF interna-
tional law.
On the other hand, however, it
was said that while the rules of
international law heretofore applied
permitted the destruction of merchant
craft which resisted search by bel
ligerent war vessels. it appeared that
the Falaba only ATTEMPTED to escape
and did not resist. II was pointed
out in official circles that, according
TO reports, the. ships boats were over
her side and her passengers and crew
were attempting to leave her when
the torpedo which destroyed her was
discharged.

APPO|N TED ON
COMMISSION
GOVERNOR WILLIAMS MADE THE
APPOINTMENT THIS MORNING
AND 1T is INN EDiATELY CON
FIRMED BY SUPREME COURT.

Judge w. r. Bleakmore was today
appointed by Governor II. l.. Williams
as supreme court commissioner, and
the appointment was Immediately con
frmed by the supreme court MIR.
Bleakmore was requested over the
phone, to come to Oklahoma City i'm
mediately and take the oath OF OF
flee, in order that the commission
might be organized at once.
Judge Bleakmore was associated
with James H. Mathers in the county
attorneys office Immediately afte
statehood, and afterwards was elect
ed by the people as county attorney
of Carter County.
Judge Bleakmore served as a mem
Der of the supreme court for eigh
months, and by such service has
achieved a high place in the estima'
tion of the bar of the entire state.
Judge Bleakmore has recently form
ed a partnership with James H. Math
ers, for the general practice of law
and established offices in the Baird
building, and placed therein one of
the best equipped law Libraries in the
state.
j. II. Mathers is recognized as one
of the foremost lawyers of the state,
and enjoys a most lucrative and ex-
tensive practice.
Mr.. Mathers insisted that his part
ner, Judge Bleakmore, accept the
high office rendered him, stating that
while he realized that both of them
would suffer financial loss, he was
more than willing to make the sacri'
flee in the interests of the State OF
Oklahoma.
Judge Bleakmores appointment
came unsolicited. He was not an ap-
plicant for the position and knew
nothing of it until he was appointed
by the governor and unanimously con,
firmed by the supreme court this
morning at ten o'clock.
Judge Bleakmore left at noon today
to assume the duties of his office, and
Mr.. Mathers will remain in their pres
ent offices and take over their i'm
mense library.

HuERTA REPORTED ON WAY
BACK TO MEXICO

Madrid March 81, via Paris.-Gen-
eral Victoriano Huerta and his sec
retary sailed today from Cadiz on
board the transatlantic steamer An
tonic Lopez, according to advices re-
ceived here from Cadiz. General
Huerta's family remains in Barcelona.
Reports from that place say that a
rumor is in circulation that Huerta
is on his way to direct a new revo'
luton in Mexico.
The steamer Antonio Lopez is due
to touch at Porto Rico Cuba, Lagu-
acia, Venezuela and Colon.
Since he resigned as provisional
president of Mexico, on July 15 last,
General Huerta has been living quiet
ly at Santander, in Spain. In De-
cember he was quoted as denying a
report that he would return to Mexico
TO offer his services to General villa
stating that he was entirely away
from Mexican politics
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-04-01

Russians are holding the Germans
n north and central POLAND and they
are putting forth all their strength
to force their way through Uzsok and
Lupkow passes with the result that
some of the heaviest and most con-
tinuous fighting of the war is in
progress in the Carpathians, both
sides laying claim to successes.
The Russians, who already forced
Dukla pass, are slowly making their
way down the southern slopes of the
Carpathians into Hungary and, ac-
cording to British critics, must soon
compel the Austrians and Germans
defending the two other passes to
fall back or be threatened with in
reference with their communications.
The battle of the Carpathian pass
es now rivals the bombardment of
the Dardanelles in political possibil
tiles. German experts assert that the
efforts being made by Russia are Of
such vital Importance politically that
the supreme command of the Teu-
tonic allies is justified in exerting
every effort to check the invader
there.
So far as actual fighting is con-
cerned the official reports contain
little news. The big effort in the
west, which has been so long awaited,
seems to be still far off and the
operations are confined to an occas-
ional attack and counter-attack, while
the airmen on both sides are kept
busy watching the opposing force and
dropping bombs where they might be
expected to do the most damage.
