FILING or OIL LEASE
Is SUFFICIENT

Oklahoma City, Dec. 22.-When Al.
bert Cooper. a Greek Indian. executed
a lease on oil and gas land he owred
and that lease was filed in the Indian
agency office at Muskogee. that was
sufficient notice Of the transaction for
all purposes, according 10 a decision of
the supreme court. the opinion being
written by Justice Hardy. Cooper ex-
ecuted lease to John NJ. Ingram.
While the lease was filed in the agency
office. but before il was finally APP
proved. Cooper died. The lease had not
been recorded with county register of
deeds. Heirs Of Cooper then conveyed
the land to a man by name Of FuR,
who afterward conveyed it to =. 3.
OHern. The latter began suit against
ingram to quiet the title.
The high court holds that the filing
Of the lease as originally made by
Cooper to Ingram with the Indian agen-
cy was sufficient notice in itself of
the conveyance of the land; that IL was
not necessary to record IL with the reg
lister OF deeds. The judgment of the
Tulsa county district court is reversed
in the case. The case was that OF the
Scioto oil company VS.. +. $. O'Hern.

GRAIN.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Favorable weather
and prospects of larger movement Of
the crop had bearish effect today on
corn. Selling, however, was not of an
aggressive character. Accordingly, the
market tended to keep within narrow
range. Opening quotations. which va
ried from unchanged figures TO 3-s
cents there, were followed by slight
rally in some cases.
Weekend adjustment OF trades
brought about a moderate advance la
ter. The market closed firm. IA to 7-S
cent net higher. with January LIS
1-S and May 1.23 1-2 to 1.23 SIS.
Oats eased down with corn. The lib
eral supplies in the country counted in
favor OF the bears.
Hog market strength lifted provisions.
Trade, though. was very small.

articles inclined officials 10 the opinion
that the general purpose Of the agree
ment was somewhat In line with the
British.Japanese treaty touching Far
Eastern interests. and that II was de-
sighed TO protect China from eNploita'

especially directed against America or
Great Britain.

NOT AIMED AT AMERICA

m Treaty Made Was Probably Similar
To One With u. s.

washington. Dec. 20. - American Of
Gcials today said they had no knowledge
og the so-calIed treaty between Russia
and Japan. but to describe 1t as con-
templating "joint armed demonstration
against the United States and Great
f:ritain in the far east" is not borne
out In the text.
There is a possibility that the treaty
concerned a special convention con-
cluded between Russia and japan at
about the same time as the so-called
treaty. IL was generally assumed there
that the treaty contained some secret
pflvisions. but its purpose was de-
6cribed as being TO guard the rights of
Japan and Russia in the far east; to
reconcile all outstanding issues between
them. and generally to follow the lines
OF the Angio-Japanese alliance. At the
time IL WIS supposed that the secret
articles provided for the sale by Russia

Harbin and the extension OF fishing
rights of the coast OF Siberia.
