No Withdrawing.
Secretary Lansing also issued a
statement today saying he knew of
no intention to withdraw the troops.
He also said no intimation had come
from the CarranZa government that
de facto government officials thought
General Pershing had accomplished
his mission and should return to
United States territory.
1t was stated officially today that
General Funston's orders were broad
enough to include dealing personally
with villa in case he should be en-

Satisfaction with the transportation
situation was indicated at the war and
state department today. With private
shippers getting supplies through on
the Mexican railways, ultimately
available to the American troops, Sec
retary Lansing believes the railway
situation has ceased to be a factor.

TO OFFER FOR LEASE
OIL AND GAS LANDS

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, April g.
Approximately 100000 acres of seq
regated school land in Cimarron
county, the extreme northwest county
of the state, has been ordered oil and
gas leases by the commissioner OF
the school office. The leases will
be advertised sixty days.
In leasing this land the commits
sioner will require the lessees to fur
nish bond of $4,000 each that they
will begin actual drilling operations
within six months and that, IL prac-
tical, the well shall be drilled to a
depth of not less than three thousand
feet.
In addition the lessees will be
awarded on bonus basis with the
twelve and one-half per cent royalty
to the state.
For some time biologists have said
that the formation in Cimarron
county was favorable for oil and gas,
but there has been no prospecting
in that county, due entirely, 1t is said,
to the absence of adequate transport
tation facilities.

don't mean to say that the rank
and file of the party stand for that,
but do say that Governor Williams
and the members of the legislature
stand for Just such things. They held
up their hands and swore they would
support the constitution OF the United
States and the state of Oklahoma,
yet from the moment they went into
office they have been scheming, plan

Judge Shive said no hoped to live
to fight the Democrats as hard in the

Republicans in the past. His criti.
cism Of the party was on account of
the election law passed at the special
session. and he may be able to lead

IMPORTANT MATTERS
Discuss Question of Gov
ernment Supply of Oil
in Case of War.

WAsHINGToN, April s.-W. l. A.
w NJ. Vandergracht of The Hague
| connected with the Royal Dutch Shell
Oil company and the Roxana Petro-
leum company. accompanied by Ben
f. Rice of Tulsa, local attorney for
the Koxana. held a long conference
with Indian Commissioner Sells today
upon the oil situation in oklahoma.
1t is understood that matters of i'm
portance dealing with the question of
an adequate supply of oil for govern
ment use in the event of war. were
discussed. Although Mr.. Rice refused
to discuss the object of todays con-
ference with Commissioners Sells, the
Usage council Is due to arrive in
Washington, Sunday and from pres
ent indications. the Indians will insist
upon putting up to the highest bid
ders the oil leases now held by the
Indian Territory Illuminating Oil
company. under an extension of the
blanket lease. ordered by Secretary
Lane which expires April l6.
The department will probably in
sist upon the execution of new oil
leases to the present sublessees in the
CSaSe HatioH III conformity with the
resolution adopted by the tribal
council last June, but from rumors
that have proceeded the members Of
the council, the Osages will continue
to oppose the wishes of the depart
ment and ignore the June II resolu-
ton.
No Lease Yet.
From departmental sources it Is
learned that no plan is in contempla-
ton for the leasing Of the Unbiased
portion Of the Usage nation at this
time, although 1t is understood sew
eral tentative propositions have been
submitted to the department for its
approval. 1t Is probable that today's
conference between Commissioner
Sells. Mr.. Rice and Mr.. Vandergracht
may have had something to do with
the leasing Of the western portion of
the Usage nation for oil purposes al
though confirmation of this rumor is
lacking.

necessary amount of butter is TO be
used in cooking is too often oyeresti-

adequate, for when subjected to a high
temperature it decomposes and i'm

for oiling tins. Either cooking oils.
lard or beef fat should be used
instead. Because of its cost, butter
has no place in plain cooking. Equal

Chinese Servants,

The servants in a Chinese family are
not expensive, so far as wages are
concerned, but they cost a great deal
in perquisites. They rarely receive
more than two dollars a month, but
they are given their food, and they
help themselves lavishly to anything
they may desire. They dress them
selves from the old clothing Of the
family, freely take the hairpins and
the toilet articles Of the mistress,
clothe their children from the common
wardrobe ard, in fact, are a part OF
the family. The Chinese lady and
her servants gossip together as
friends, rooms are entered without
warning, conversations interrupted
and suggestions offered which, to the
foreigner, seem to be Of the grossest
impertinence. This intimacy is due
partly to the fact that many of the
servants are distant relatives. Practi-
cally the only news from the outside
world that comes to the woman behind
the walls is brought by her sons or by
the servants. She makes few visits,
and these usually at the home OF some
relative, entering her closely-covered
chair within her courtyard and being
carried swiftly to the courtyard Of the
house where she is to visit.

When he came out, crushed in

was beyond understanding. Why did
he hate him so?
Anyway, Rolfe was resolved to JUS

went back to gather up his things,
with a deliberate plan in his mind.
The superintendent called him.
"Rolfe, you'll take Joe's place as
conductor on the 5:12," he said.
The line was desperately short Of
men. The 5:12 consisted OF an en-
CINE and a single empty passenger

terms of the franchise. No, Rolfe's
heart leaped up as he remembered
something more, and the blood began
to hammer in his ears. A cash ship
ment of $4,000 was to go in a special
express car. And the superintendent
had evidently not heard that he was
discharged.

showed himself deliberately; but the

was a mans job or reputation worth

He stood sulkily upon the platform.
