MENACED BY
WILSON VETO
President Wilson Will Not Approve
Them as
Framed

Washington, Dec. 29.-The so-called
'pork barrel triplets-public buildings,
flood control and rivers and harbors bills,
approximating about $4,000, Oo0-are
due for cold reception if they are lett
on the White House doorstep, 1t was
learned yesterday.
Owing to the tremendous needs for rev.
enue during the next fiscal year the pres
ident and Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo are determined, it is asserted, to
pane the pork barrel measures to the
limit. If passed in their present FORM
it is declared. the president will veto
them.
The president himself let it be known
that he is opposed to the public build
ings bill as it now stands.
1t is understood that his views on these
measures will be explained to Congress
in some form if they threaten to tie up
other legislation.

RUMAN OIL WELLS WRECKED.
Wholesale Destruction Carried Out By
British Military Mission-German
Officer Admits "Terrible Loss"

London. Dec. 2a.-!Speaking yesterday
at a meeting of the Ruman Consolidated
Oil Fields corporation, William Nj. Ruth.
erford, member of Parliament from the
West Derby division of Liverpool, said
that probably the value of the oil fields
DESTROYED by the allies in the Ruman re-
treat amounted to S50,000000 1t was a
wholesale destruction, he remarked, car
ried on by British military mission act
ing under the instruction of headquar-
tiers. This work, he added, rendered the
property and stock utterly useless to the
foe. The oil wells of German companies
met a similar fate, he said.
The Volks Zeitung OF Cologne repro
duces the narrative of an officer OF the
German general staff in regard to the
Rumanian campaign, in which it is said
the destruction wrought in the Rumanian
oil fields was terrible" SURPRISING
everything of the kind during the war.

The mile long parade, starting at 10 o'clock a. m., tells the story. Nothing finer has ever been shown than this glitter ing pageant of unsurpassed gran deur; the shining coats of blooded horses, the gilded chariots, the satin robes of the riders.

Persecution of Runke
 Still Goes Merrily On

The persistent system of per- secution inaugurated against Supt. Walter Runke of the Tuba Indian schools. seems to go mer- rily on. with the evident purpose of putting him out of business. /"
 He went to Prescott on Satur- day where he had been called be- fore the U. s. Commissioner on charges of purjury preferred by the U. s. attorney, purporting to be relative to a letter written during the time of the TaddY Tin trouble.
 The hearing was postponed until Monday; Monday the hear ing was again called without the appearance of the attorneys for the prosecution, it-was postponed twice the same day without get ting a hearing until finally the U. s. Commissioner held a sort of an informal hearing. then re- served his judgment until he could get into communication with the U. s. Attorney.
 It is great amusement when the government has to pay the freight for one side but not for the individual who has to put up his own money and time to find | out why he IS disliked.
 It would seem that outright | 'heckeling" would be better and cleaner sport. .-Coconino Sun.

Country Editors HaUe Influence

It is we'll known that the editors of the great city papers do not reflect their own opinions, but those of the syndicate that owns the paper. That is one prime reason why the editorial utterances of those papers exert but comparatively little infu- ence. One is uncertain whether or not they ring true, and as a rule they do not when big busi- ness or morals are concerned. On the other hand, the country paper, with all it's limitations, has this great advantage that usually it is owned bv the man who edits it and that it express es only what he believes.
