j. 5. HLOSER IN
THREE OIL SUITS

Further information concerning the
decisions handed down by Federal
Judge R. S. Bean at Los Angeles
against the government in its suits
filed to recover oil land under the
Taft withdrawal order and which in
vestors consider favorable to Homo
lulu Consolidated Oil whose case is
now pending, has been received here.
The government won only one of fou1
suits.
The favorable opinions in question
were those of the suits against the
Record, Caribou and Consolidated Mu,
tual OIL companies in which the court
hsid, there was, mo merit in the con-
tention Of the government under
strict Interpretation 81 the Pickett
law" which modified the withdrawal
order.
A suit against the North American
Oil company was dismissed by the
court of the ground that the Pioneer
Midway Oil company was an actual
and bona fide claimant at the date Of
the withdrawal order and was dill
gently engaged in prospecting for oil
on the section involved in the case.
In modified decree granted in the
case of the I'hirty-two Oil company,
involving a whole section, the court
ruled that IL. n. McMurty, who made
the original locations, did not retain
possession in good faith for the ben
eft of other locators," and therefore
the lands were acquire+ through
fraud" The courts opinion however,
eliminated the Thirty-two company
and other defendants.
The Berkshire Oil, Standard Oil and
General Pipe Line companies and
others were named as defendants in
the suits decided. for the government
by Judge Bean. Violation Of the with
drawaI order was alleged.

SENATORS FAVOR
new STAMP TAX
ONBANK CHECKS

WASHINGTON, D. G., June -
New stamp taxes Of cents on bank
checks and drafts Of more than IS, to
raise from SS,000.0N0 to Sl0,000,U00,
were written into the war tax bill to-
day by the senate finance committee.
The provisions would require persons
drawing checks and drafts for more
than s. to axxif tie stamps so familiar
during the Spanish-American war.
All other documentary stamp taxes
fthe house bill, estimated to raise
49,, 900, 900, were adopted except those
on surety and indemnity bonds, which
were exempted. The committee de-
cided, however, to reduce the house
tax Of 8 cents a pack on playing cards
to 3 cents for decks costing under 10
cents.
Consumption taxes on sugar. COT
fee, tea and cocoa were fixed finally
as previously announced after recon
sideration, except that the rate on
raw cocoa was reduced to 3 cents a
pound and that on prepared cocoa and
products increased to cents. The
sugar tax Of half a cent a pound. 2
cents on coffee and cents on tea will
stand.
Reconsideration of the proposed re-
peal of the law giving sugar refiners
drawback" allowances on exports
was discussed today, but a decision
was postponed. Final settlement OF
the publishers tax and possibly of
other important questions is looked
for tomorrow.
Senator Simmons tonight said he
adhered to his former estimate that
the committee probably will complete
the revised bill with an aggregate tax
levy Of around $500, 900, 900 on Sat
urday and present it to the senate
about the middle Of next week.

AMERICAN SUGAR
REPORTS GAINS

Prosperity is being experienced by
the American Sugar Company, accord
ing to the Christian Science Monitor
Of June 2, which says:
Never in its Is years of corporate
activity has American Sugar done as
well from the standpoint of net profits
As during the five months since jan
uary l.
1T is a story Of capacity operations,
interrupted to some extent by several
weeks Of strike. ADDED to this has
been a gradual rise In the price OF
raw sugars.
The abnormal demand for refined
sugar has enabled the refiners to sell
without strict observance Of the fluc-
tuations from day to day, or week to
week IN the raw market. American
Sugar has, for example, held its phce
firm for the last five weeks And dur
ing this time the price OF raws has
varied as much as u cent per pound.
1T is understood that during the
five months since Jan. this company
has been realizing net profits at the
rate of better than $35 a share.
1T Is only fair to remember that
the first half year Is always better
with American Sugar than the second
half. At the same time, unless there
should be serious break in the price
of raw sugars, the company will come
through 1917 with q record volume of
net earnings. In 1915 the common
share profits we're 1874 per cent on
$45, 000, 000."

Interest in Country Cross Roads Post

| Chicago, June 13-Interest manifested
at the country cross roads post office
| in the daily arrival of the mail is moth
ing to the expectancy displayed on the
big battleships Of the American navy
when the tackles are mustered on deck
for the distribution Of letters.
Many of the youthful sailors are away
from home for the first time and even
their pride in being part of Uncle Sans
first line. and regular fighting men,
cannot keep them from feeling just
bit home sick when they see their
comrades receiving letters while their
names are not called.
| To remedy this condition and to make
every sailor boy know that ashore,
somewhere in the land he is defending
are those who think of him, an organ
izaton has been formed, the prin-
cipal duty of its members being to
| write frequent letters to the sailors OF
the battle fleet. It's name is "The Loyal
| Girls of America Society" and the sec
rotary Of it's mother chapter has names
| of sailor boys and announced that she
will be glad to send them to any Loyal
| Girl" who will write to her.
| The Loyal Girls of America Society
| is pledged to write to soldiers and sail
ors of the United States. The society
was organized last month. an indirect
outgrowth of the request of little Eve
| Ign Young. who asked Captain Moffett
commandant of the Great Lakes Naval
Training station. for the name of a
sailor recruit to whom she could write
as if he were her big brother and had
gone to sea. Captain Moffett encour-
aged the little girl and suggested that
an Evelyn Sisterhood" be formed to
encourage the lonesome recruits.
The Evelyn idea was taken up and a
Mother Chapter Of The Loyal Girls
of America Society was organized May

ball avenue, Chicago. Miss Gertrude
Gilmore is secretary and Mrs. Burton
Hanson, president.
Indicating the welcome which letters
receive on ship board the quartermas-
ter of one Of the big battle ships says
in letter to Miss Effnore:
| '"The L. G. OF "A. could fdo nothing
finer than to encourage aus in every
way The recruits especially who
haven't gotten over circumstances
In my capacity as postmaster l can see
what a difference it makes in big
ma tority of the boys If they don't get
any mail for few days where just a
post card arriving at the opportune mo-
ment would tighten up their day won
derfully."
Another letter from sailor says:
| Mail to bluejacket at times is
more to him than the paymaster's
check. only regret that you cannot
have the opportunity Of seeing the
boys line up for their mail
The society asks for no contributions
as it is self sustaining. All it desire.
Is to increase the happiness OF the lad:
afloat and to give TO the girls ashore ar
opportunity to do something for theil
country. .:
