BLACK PANTHER OIL CO.
MAY RETAIN THLOCCO LEASE

Muskogee, Okla, Sept. l0.-At the
conclusion of the hearing to cancel
or modify the terms of the Black
Panther Oil companys lease on t9C
Barney Thlocco allotment Thursday,
Federal Judge Ralph Z. Campbell an
nounced that he would take the mat
ter under advisement and render a
written opinion.
Although nothing was given out
attorneys for both sides in the case
admitted that Judge Campbells line
OF questioning indicated that he
would uphold the present lease.
1t was stated in court Thursday
that Receiver j. f. Darby now has
between 100000 and $4,000 in roy
atty money on hand, but of this he
must repay the oil company for all
improvements. 1t was admitted that
if the rightful heir to the property
was selected today, the amount held
by the receiver would just about pay
for the improvements and that con
sequently the ultimate heir will gel
none of the money now being ac
cumulated but only the property and
its future income.
The Thlocco lease, which at one
time was producing $4,000 barrels q
day, is now down to 1,5OO. Some
drilling wells are expected to increase
the production for a time, but the
lease is figured as a 1,OOO-barrel aver
age.

PREDICTS 15-YEAR WAR
English Prepare for Long Struggle
SAYS American Physician.

St Louis, Sept. 9.-Dr. Ralph l..
Thompson of the faculty of st. Louis
university, who returned on Sunday
from France, where he was a physician
in a British hospital, predicted today
that the European war would last
from five to fifteen years.
DR.. Thompson said the deadlock in
the western theater seemed unbreak
able and that the permanency of the
British hospitals and of other British
preparations testifes to their belief
that the struggle will be long. The
British have just finished building a
$4,000 steam laundry back of the
battle line, he said.

Sterilization has become a law in

Pennsylvania making it obligatory

made stock the world over what it
IS III pure blood and high prices,
and it can and will make better

1t is strange how some public

things that make them ride two

an advocate Of prohibition as Mr..
Bryan makes it appear He says:
| hope that national prohibition
will not be an issue in the campaign
Of 1916 Inasmuch as he praises
the Democratic party for doing so
much for prohibition, why not urge
it to boldly advocate prohibition in
1916? 1t looks to us like Mr. Bryan
is playing game of hide and
seek. y Has Mr.. Bryan forgotten
the dual part he advocated when
his party was SO vastly divided on
the gold question?
The Democrats of Kentucky have
declared against state wide prohib-
ltlon by over forty thousand plural
ity, and the credit for it is given
to letter President Wilson wrote
against state wide and nation wide
prohibition. In keeping with the
Presidents letter, the world S great
editor Henry Watterson said: No
democrat can be a prohibitionist -
The truth is, that Mr.. Bryan hopes
- and will long as he lives to be
president and will lay aside the
prohibition issue until after the
coming election Mr.. Bryan stands
as much chance to be president as
