Members of the state corporation
commission and the chief oil conserva-
ton officer have become alarmed
over the threatened use of vacuum
pumps at Healdton. A recent stir was
occasioned when It became known that
the Carter Oil Company had placed
pumps Of this kind in the field. The
commission issued an order prohibiting
the use Of these pumps and is deter
mined TO enforce IL. The Carter Com
pany states that the pumps are in, but
that they are not connected up with any
wells, and will not be connected except
TO protect its leases. when adjoining
leases use the pumps.
IL is stated that several other com.
panies are installing the same kind Of
pumps. One Of the objections urged
against their use is that all material
panies that placed orders some months
ago and have their pumps will have a
decided advantage over those who have
noe placed orders and will necessarily
be delayed in getting them. The same
fight came up in the Cushing field
and finally ended In permitting the
use OF these pumps and they may be
used here in time. but the commission
is determined to prohibit their use un.
I'll such time as there is a need for
them and an order will likely be made
in advance setting time when they
can be used so that each producer will
have the same opportunity to acquire
them.

capitulated after a sustained battle on
the MorSkaya and made no further re-
sfstance to the revolutionists who con-
disappeared from the streets. which
were patrolled by automobiles packed
with soldiers and students and were
wildly cheered by the people.
Government Declared Overturned.
The government was declared to be
overthrown by the duma leaders, who
met in the Maveritchisky Palace, after
the regular session had been adjourn
ed by imperial ukase. and in a telegram
to the emperor. the popular representa-
tives declared that a special committee.
composed of the leaders Of the various
parties in the duma, would submit q
list Of names for the new cabinet.
simultaneously 1t was reported that
had resigned.
The duma had been dissolved by inn
perial order, effective March II, the
imperial ukase reading as follows:

journed owing to extraordinary cir
cumstances until further notice. They
will be resumed not later than April"
On Monday the duma members, ex-
cept the rightists, met in executive
session, notwithstanding the d!ssolu-
ton order. The result was a virtually
unanimous vote to place the duma
sauarely on the side of the revolution,
and to authorize the executive coun-
Gil of that body to declare the present
government overthrown and organize a
provisional government. President
Rodzianko. who presided, sent a tele-
gram to the emperor, informing him
to listen to the voice of the people.
The hour has struck" he said,
when the will of the people must pre-
vail"
Emperor's Fatal Blunder.
The order dissoiving the duma was
issued by the emperor just before he
