Civil and Spanish War
Veterans Want Farms

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Veterans of
the Civil and Spanish American wars
asked to-day that they be included in
Secretary Lanes project for farms FOR
soldiers and sailors. When the subject
was broached informally last week
Secretary Lane told the House Public
Lands Committee that to take in vet
Grams of other wars would invite op-
position.
There was no estimate of the mum.
ber of Civil War veterans who might
seek farms, but Daniel B. Chisholm
representing the Spanish war veterans
estimated that about twenty per cent
of the 100000 members might apply
for homestead privileges. Members OF
the committee, however, said this was
too high, their estimates running
around l and 2 per cent

Claims Made by Companies
Selling Stocks III New
York Are Being Investi-
gated by Men on Ground
Officers Here Questioned
Lease or One Concern Said
to Terminate on July Is
Unless Flow Is Struck

The District Attorneys investigation
Of oil properties which have been ad-
vertised so extensively here in the last
few weeks has extended to Texas. 1t
was learned at Mr.. Swann's office yes
terday that for two weeks one of his
agents has been in the Lone Star State
collecting evidence concerning the ac-
tual condition Of oil fields there that
have figured so glowingly in brokers
prospectuses here.
Frank B. Barnard, vice-president Of
the Rangeburnett Oil Company, con-
ferred Yesterday with Assistant District
Attorney Dooling. Mr.. Dooling later
quoted him as saying that thus far no
oil had been produced from the COM
pany's wells in Texas and that unless
oil was obtained by July 10 the concern
would be obliged to give up its lease to
the property. w. S. Edwards, presi-
dent Of the company, and Harry j.
Black, its secretary, will also be ex-
amined by Mr.. Dooling.
Grand Jury Inquiry Suggested
Mr.. Dooling said if his investigation
warranted he would lay the matter be-
fore the grand jury. Assistant District
Attorney Kilroe, who also is investi-
eating complaints against oil stock
sellers, examined nearly thirty persons
yesterday.
Mr.. Dooling said Mr.. Barnard told
him that thus far S45,O2O.20 had been
received for stock 100000 shares of
which had been placed on the market
at the par value of one dollar.
"Mr Barnard said" Mr.. Dooling
stated, "that the company had made
an agreement for a year with wo-
man who owned the land and if no oil,
gas or sulphur was obtained by July
is, the property would have to be given
up.
He told me the drillers had gone
from 400 to 500 feet down and no oil
had been found. Of the S45,020.20
taken in, S34,O5O had been expended
for development purposes. From $780,
600 to $4,000 is needed to go ahead
and immediate funds are required. y
Buyer Says Stock Slunped
Mr. Dooling said he had received q
complaint from one Maxwell A. Free
man, who said on May that he had
bought outright 100 shares of Range
burnett stock at one dollar each. Mr.
Freeman then said he received a tele-
gram purporting to come from one of
the officials Of the Rangeburnett COM
pany that further property was to be
acquired, and he was advised to buy
more stock. On the strength of this
telegram, Mr.. Freeman told Mr.. Dool-
ing, he bought 1000 shares at S., land
to-day l learn" Mr. Maxwell said to
Mr.. Dooling, that the stock is down
to from three -eighths to fve-eighths of
the dollar"
On complaint of Mrs. Ada Newberger,
OF 66 East Ejghty-third Street, De-
tectives Doyle and O'Connell, of the
Twenty precinct station, yester-
day arrested j. l. Cramer, of Canton,
Ohio, a salesman for the Record Oil
and Refining Company, of Texas. The
man was later taken to Police Head
quarters on the charge of larceny
Mrs. Newberger alleges Mr.. Dooling
said, that on May IA she bought stock
valued at 5000 in the Record Oil Com
psny, and that thus far she has been
unable to obtain a certificate or any
money to give proof of her purchase.

HAZELHURST FIELD, MINEOLA,
Long Island, June 3.-Although much
of the State of Connecticut, points
along the Hudson River and even as
far as the Berkshire Hills, were
secured to-day by three airplanes from
here in command of Colonel Archie
Miller, no trace was found of Captain
James, the British ace who disap-
peared last Thursday while on a fight
from Pittsfeld, Mass, to Atlantic City
by way of Mineola, where he had
planned to stop for fuel.
Much territory along Long Island
Sound also was explored without sue
cess. AS the air was clear, although
warm, the aviators and observers had
excellent opportunities for observation.
Up to dusk this evening none of the
machines had returned to the airdrome
here. They probably will remain an
other day searching through the Berk-
shire Hills.
Accompanying Colonel Miller as OBJ
server was Lieutenant Sherman B. AL

Lieutenant Jack Frost and Lieutenant

When the Germans swept this terri
tory they took away all horses and
cattle and bombed depots, hotels and
all homes within their path. They
even destroyed all our R. R. tracks and
street car lines. There is no means
of travel in this part of the country
only on foot. We have to use little
push carts when We go to the nearest
town for anything. The roads are all
torn up by artillery fire and bombs.
The User River, where many battles
were fought is red from the blood
that was shed. Everything here is
so high in price that we can get but
very few things We need. Butter is
$500 h., meat $500 a h., shoes
$4,000 pair, common spool of
thread is $500. Wheat is $4,000 per
100 lbs. and everything else according
ly. Our beautiful home is all ruins.
When the tracks were blown up large
parts of them struck our house.

Your two younger brothers were TAX
en- away by the Germans and l have

man shrapnels and many died from
fright. l must say that We owe our
thanks to America. If it had not of
been for the U. s. A. we would have
