The insurgents appear to have the
better end, although ex-senator Wi
ley Person and DR.. Arthur Fleming
are nobly standing by the stand
patters. Mr.. Aliens advantage lies
chiefly in the fact that the Postoffice
Department has awarded him con-
tract which calls for the removal of
the postoffice from the Ford build
ing to that owned by Mr.. Allen
The stand-patters, to offset this ad-
vantage, have bee uniformed by
First Assistant Postmaster General
Koons that they will have to pay Mr..
Allen for the expense he has incur
red in carrying out the contract and
obtain his written consent to an an
, nullment of the standing bargain.
Politically speaking, Mr.. Pou isn't
going to have anything to do with
it and both the Senators have pre-
viously declined all invitations tC

matter appears to be between a
Democrat and a Republican, and il
is now narrowed down to the bid
ders Sentiment, however, is ad
mittedly divided and good many
Democrats are sticking to Mr.. Ford

against government food increas-

low fill the columns Of the food
journals and farm magazines of
Germany.
Food prices continue very high.
This is attributed partly to the
ow valuation of the mark. The

Since Germany resumed com

he exception of fish and milk, and

: good crop of fruits and vege-

-RIOTING AT GARY INDIANA.

Gary, Ind, Oct. 5.-Gary's streets
we're crowded today and the entire
city was overhung with a spirit OF
unrest following the rioting Sat
Urday night.
AT night fall no militiamen had
reached Gary, though eleven COM
panies had modified at East Chic
ago. Ind. and four of the compan-
les had been sent to Indiana Har-
Dor. The Gary Company of state
militia was not called out, though
they were notified when the riot
ing was at its height to prepare
for active duty.
The Saturday night rioting occur
red when a street car barring a
few workers to the stel plant was
Broadway crossing near Tenth
avenue.
AT that point crowd of strikers
who had attended a mass meet
ing in East Side aPrk was also
blocked. Jeers from them are said
TO have been followed by an at
tack on the workers inside the car.
Sever injuries were done to the
Workmen and police who arrived
were also attacked, the crowd be-
special policemen were summon
ed.
Clubs, bricks, and pieces Of brok-
en- cement paving were the weap-
ons used. Not a shot was fired
For several hours sporadic out
breaks kept the police busy after
the main rioting was quelled.
Late this afternoon another
meeting was held by the strikers
There was no repition of the riot
ing. Police prevented crowds
from congregating.
TEose close to the situation held

declared that many foremen who
had left the works when the strike
was called had talked w ith theil
helpers and that a considerable
number were ready to return te

The value OF oil or gas IN those
days was not a factor in the estima-
ton OF those who were conducting the
prospect and the hole was abandoned
without finding the coal that was so
eagerly sought. The find became a
local tradition and the pioneers have
always remembered the occasion
When the oil fields commenced ITO
push south and west the pioneers re-
membered with hope OF the early ex-
perimcn, and their faith has always
remained one way. There has always
been a local prophecy among the pio-
necrs that the territory around Granite
would some day develop into an oil
field Colonel Briggs has held to the
idea and during the past week when a
driller from Wichita Falls offered him
a bonus OF $4,000 and an eighth roy

he concluded that he was rapidly ar
