T|ON Of RIVER
BEDlEASES
SCHOOL LAND COMM SSlON SUG-
GESTS THAT STATE GO AHEAD
WITH DEVELOPMENT. COVER
NOR is OPPOSED.

Oklahoma city, okla, Jan. 2S.-ln-
yestigation of the states river bed
oil and gas leases was made this week
by four members of the school land
commission. The trip to the river beds
was made as IA result Of inactivity of
river bed lessees, who are saking the
land commission to make more favor
able terms with them than are written
in the leases. The commission is also
asked by d. H. Linebaugh, United
States attorney for the eastern dis
trict of oklahoma, to undertake the
financing of the oil production in the
river beds so that adjoiing leases may
not drain all the oil from under the
lands that are claimed both by the
state of Oklahoma and by the United
States, not to mention the riparian
owners, the Indian tribes and contest
allottees.
Ownership Question in Courts
When the Gushing oil field was de
yelCping the state school land commits
sioners conceived the idea of leasing
the beds of the Cimarron and Arkan-
sas rivers to be developed for oil
Then the question as to ownership of
the river beds arose, the federal gov"
ernment asserting claim to them and
the state of Oklahoma maintaining
that the beds go with the rest of the
land in statehood. The matter was
promptly brought to the federal courts
in both the eastern and western dis
tricts of Oklahoma and receivers were
appointed to hold the royalties earned
by river bed leases, to be paid to the
state school fund or to the federal
government as might be determined
by the court.
In the meantime the school land
commission has been leasing the river
beds to the highest bidder-not of bo-
nus in cash, as commercial leases go.
but of oil. 1t followed that a lot of
leases were made in proven territory
at royalties as high as so and 60 per
cent figures, that are prohibitive as an
operating proposition. The leases thus
let are not being developed and the
adjoining leases are being developed.
The lessees from the state lack capita
and the other lessees are doing bust
ness in a business-like manner. The |
through its district at
torney is anxious that the oil in the
river beds be saved for the govern
ment or the state. Hence the trip by
the commissioners of the school land
office to look at the river bed develop
ment.
State Development Suggested.
1t has been suggested by the dis
trict attorney for the eastern district
that the state of Oklahoma appropri-
ate about $15O,OOO to develop the oil
in the river beds. Just how the com
mission looks upon this suggestion is
not known Governor Williams is not
vehement in his declarations, but mild
ly suggests when asked his views, that
the government has lots of money be-
longing to the wards of the nation
that might be invested in the oil bust

81 AssocIArEp pREss.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Lack OF
sufficient commercial data is offered
by the British government for furth-
er delay of the purchase of Amer
lean cotton detained in Great Brit
ain. The following announcement
based on a despatch from consul
General Skinner in London was made
public today by the state depart

'sThe department state is informed
by the consul general in London that
it has been found impossible to con-
clude the purchase of certain lots of
American cotton detained in Grea;

cotton agreement because of the fail
ure of the claimants to supply the
commercial details necessary to the
consideration of their consignments
He is informed that it is indispen-
sible that the bills Of lading, in
voices, copies of the contracts, and
confirmation of the contracts should
be supplied and that the board Of
trade, whose officers are making
these purchases, will deal with all the
claims as promptly as possible, bat

Atlanta, Sept. 11.-An INQUEST

held tomorrow. Ford's mother IS
quoted as saying today that Ford's
wife on the morning shortly after
Ford was shot told her over the tele-
phone that Ford had gone to his of
flce- Mrs. Ford explained she de-
ceived her mother-in-law in order not
to alarm her by telling her over tele-
phone of the shooting which she says
was accidental.
Robert T. Raines, of Pensacola,
Florida, Ford's uncle, arrived today
to personally investigate.
The body is held at an undertake
ing establishment by orders of Cor
oner Paul Donehoo Notwithstanding
Mrs. Fotd had directed that it be sent
to the Ford home early today.
The police said that examination Of
the WEAPON used caused them ia
doubt the statement that Ford made
soon after he was shot to the effect
that the pistol had exploded accident
ly while in his hands. They said the
trigger had been snapped at least
five times as four cartridges showed
they had failed to explode when
struck by the trigger.
Mrs. Ford sebbingly reiterated to-
day the story that the shot had been
fired soon after Ford had arisen from
his bed on a sleeping porch and had
gone into the house.

German Excuse
is AudaciouS as
Previous Ones

Liverpool, Sept. 1.-THE White
Star line made the following state
ment today to the Associated Press
with regard to the German explana-
ton of the torpedoing of the ArabiS:
"The German excuse contained in
the note published today is just as
audacious as the previous one and is
absolutely unsupported by facts. A
great point is made of supposed at
tempt on the part Of the Arabic to
ram the submarine but every one
knows that courses must frequently
be changed in the channel and any
change of such kind could not pos
sibly have been taken by the Ger
mans to mean that an attempt to ram
them.
There is not the slightest ques-
ton that the Arabic did try to ram
the submarine for the simple reason
that the submarine was not see by
Captain French. Moreover the Ara
bic did not try to escape, the only
preparation being taken to put the
helm hard over directly the torpedo
was SEEN"
