than 800 barrels of oil a day,~and valued
at from 50 cents to $50 an acre IN 1902

District Supreme Court yesterday when
Charles Page, Of Oklahoma, and Minnie
Folk. Harry B. Folk. and Edward Z.
Hanford, OF the State Of Washington,
filed an Injunction against Secretary
Lane, of the Interior Department, and
Assistant Secretary Sweeney.
The injunction was filed in an effort TO
entoin the defendants from canceling a
certificate of enrolment of the o lands
and striking the name Of Thomas Atkins
from this roll of allotment. The petition
ers claim that the land was granted to
Thomas Atkins, a Creek Indian, as his
allotment, that he later leased II and
that finally it was leased by the oil SOM
pany. The government brought suit IN
1915 to cancel the title. Atkins, to whom
the land is alleged to nave been Grarted,
they said, never existed
The land now is being operated under
receiver as the result OF the govern
ment's suit. In addition to the oil. large
quantities of gas are being produced The
land covers an area of about l62 acres.

ID. c. HUGHES CLUB
To Open new Home
Organization Will Help Republican
Campaign in Nearby States.

The Hughes Club, Of the District, will
have its house-warming in its quarters at
Fifteenth and F streets tomorrow night.
1t was enormously announced several
days ago that the event was scheduled
for last night, and as a result many mem
bers appeared at the club rooms with the
expectation of participating in a meeting.
The house-warming will take place
without fail Monday night" said Presi-
dent william r. Harr. who spent yester-
day evening exhibiting the club rooms to
visitors. The quarters formerly were oc-
cupied by the National Press Club. The
entrance, which formerly was on Fiji
teenth street, now is on F street.
In addition to brief talks by members
a buffet lunch will be served tomorrow
night by Rausch the caterer, and it is
likely that announcements of future
events will be made during the evening.
Senator William B. Borah. of Idaho,
was in communication with President
Harr yesterday and commended the work
being done by the organization, which is
declared to be important, in that It will
have a very direct effect on political af-
fairs in States adjacent to the District
Some Of these States, notably Maryland
can be won for Hughes through energetic
Hughes Club.
Senator Borah was invited to attend the
house-warming and address the gather
ing, but he was forced to defer his ac-
ceptance OF the clubs invitation. He
had just returned from West Virginia
where he has been delivering campaign
speeches. and will be absent from the
city on another tour this week.
The club rooms are decorated with the
national cOlors, and pictures of Charles
f. Hughes occupy many conspicuous
places about the rooms.
One of the larger apartments on the
second floor Of the building is being fitted
up as a lounge, which may readily be
transformed into an assembly hall. Easy
chairs and upholstered settees will be
scattered about the room. There will be
plentiful supplies of newspapers and cam
paign literature.
1T is our aim to make these club
rooms a favorite meeting place for Re
publicans in Washington" said Mr. Harr
Also, there is much work to be done
and this will be a central point from
which the friends of Mr.. Hughes may di-
rect that work"

Establishes New Record on
Cross Country.

Newport News, Va-Glenn H. Curtis
announces that Steve McGordon of
New York, instructor in the Curtiss
aviation school here, established new
cross country passenger carrying
flight record Saturday when he flew
from Newport News to Washington
and returned, distance of 300 miles,
in four and half hours without STOP
ping the engine.
The machine was in the air five
hours and five minutes, but IS minutes
of that time, according to McGordon,
was spent in altitude flights. McGor-
don was accompanied by Lieutenant
Vivian Hewett of the British royal ma
val service, here inspecting machines
for the British government.
Until Saturday the cross-country pas
senger carrying record was held by
Lieutenant Dodd, u. S. A., who on
February IA flew from San Diego to
Burbank, CAL, PA miles, with pas
senger His time, according to Cur
tiss, was not as good as that made
by McGordon.
The machine in which the flight was
made is Curtiss military tractor,
powered with a 160-horsepower en-
CINE. 1t is similar to the machines
sold the British and Russian govern
ments by the Curtiss company.

Expect End of Campaign

I'VE have more men than enough
now" said General Gavira. ''If we
were able to overcome Villa when he
had 10000 men, 100 cannons and
plenty OF supplies we ough to be able
to dispose of hime now, when his num-
bers have dwindled down to few hun
dred. But it is big territory to op-
crate in, and a single man has more
chance to escape and hide than large
force would have. However, on ac-
count of Villas wounded condition, we
thing he will be taken soon If not,
it is hardly likely that without proper
surgical care he will survive for long"
The arrival OF General Bertani in
Juarez gave renewed force to the re-
ports that General Gavira has been or
dered to the field. Nothing was
learned of the whereabouts OF General
Petronillo Hernandez, who was said
to have bee manned as successor to
General Gavira and who was expected
to reach Juarez today
General Gavira said that the trials
OF the men implicated in the plot to
seize Juarez in the interest of Felix
Diaz had been practically completed
and that the death sentence probably
would be passed on three or four.
