DEPARTMENT REFUSES RELIEF FOR
CALIFORNIA OIL LAND CLAIMANTS

Washington. Dec. 23.--Eforts OF
the Joint public lands committee to
provide relief for the claimsrts. OF
the naval reserve lands in California
practically ended today by the refusal
OF the navy department to yield to
compromise proposals.
Secretary Daniels. In declining the
proposals, stated the navy depart
nent stood upon Its strict legal right
and was opposed TO any legislation
for claimants Of unpatented lands
within the naval reserves.
At present the naval reserve Is
estimated at $4,000, 900 barre,s.
Over one billion barrels are said to
be held In reserve on shale lands.
The proposed bill would affect only
5000 acres out Of 10000 acres In
reserve number two.
The proposal made by the joint
committee with respect to legislation
for relief from the California claim
ants would eliminate from the effect
OF the pending peasing bill, all rail-
road lands and other patented lands
In the naval oil reserve and all claims
In which any charges OF fraud had
been made.
II would also grant preferential
leases only to claimants OF inpatient
ed lands and who had initiated their
rights prior to the first government
order Of withdrawal in 1909.
The other proposal submitted by
Commissioner Tolman OF the land

From our knowledge OF President
Wilson," the newspaper comments,
I'VE can easily picture the kind OF
peace he wants, II he Ia sincere, he
should make the entente assent to
the German proposals and state their
terms at q conference"
Other German newspapers express
sed eagerness AZ to the outcome OF
the presidents proposals,
The Berlin Allgemelne Zeitung de-
clared. I'm view OF the entente's
statement and its recent statement
that neutral Interference would be
considered unfriendly. we await
eagerly the ontente's attitude on the
Wilson note"
ANYHOW" observes the Vienna
Neue Freie Press, The note will
cause the peace question to remain
for a considerable time In the fore
ground. The entente powers will be
compelled to discuss reasonable peace
the desire for which has thus been
strengthened In entente countries. /"

CONTENTION ON ARABIA

the Arabia was not In admiralty SER
when she was Summarized and sunk
nor had she ever been In such ser
vice. England did say. however. the
Arabia carried some government pas.

There were no Asiatic soldiers

serves and who had In good faith
prosecuted the development work.
The proposition Of the Joint com,
mittee. submitted today, follows:
That the terms OF the bill bc mod
ified. proving for . more preferen.
tial lease. without the naval reserve,
had intimated their rights In this
claim prior to September 27, 1909,
either through themselves or through
their predecessors In interest. where
there Is no charge Of fraud in the
initiation or maintenance Of such
rights through dummy entrants or
otherwise: provided that the depart
msnt Of the interior shall first find
that said claimants and their pre-
decessors have acted In good faith
In developing such claims since the
initiation to discovery of OIL"
II was pointed out by members of
the committee that the Phelan oil
land leasing bill is really a part Of
the presidents program for the con-
servation Of mineral resources.
The stand taken by the navy de-
partment today will hold up any ex-
tension OF the presidents conserva-
tion program. The statement made
by navy department heads that the
DILL would cripple the navy was de-
MED.
Records were produced showing
the oil needs Of the navy to be one
million barrels annually; an esti-
mated increase for the next ten
years, would place the need at a.
600. 900 barrels. with the necessity
Of reserve OF about $4,000. 900
barrels.
