CHICAGO, June 9. = The corn mar
ket mas again frightened up. Primary
receipts are very large but much OF
the country news indicates that arriv-
ais are about to drop of. July lard at
new high of $34.25, is factor. Many
people challenge the advance in lard
as being out Of place but the lard mar
ket continues to tighten. Reports of
army worms and oats yellow in some
sections are present. This class of
news, however, as whole looks unim-
portant. Many figure a break Is due
IN corn. Government report at 1:15

COUNCIL FOUR
TO RECOGNIZE
RUSSIAN GOVT
(ByAssociated Press)

Paris, May 26.-The Council of
Four has decided to recognize the
Russian government Of Admiral Kol-
chalk and General Denikine, according
to Reuters.
Conditions for recognition are that
these governments agree to convoke
and accept the verdict of a genuine
constituent assembly, which will de-
termine the future form of govern
ment of Russia, and that the League
of Nations covenant be accepted.
1t is understood that this policy
has been adopted to enable the Allies
to recognize and assist any forces
cooperating in the struggle against
Soviet rule, because such recognition
will be effective only until the con-
stituent assembly decades the perma-
nent form of government. The region
al government will then expire auto
mattically.
The Allies will not sunnly Kolachek
and Denekine with troops, but will
furnish them with arms, munitions
money and food on larger scale than
heretfore.

SAN DIEGO MEN
WANT LEASE FROM
SEELEY OIL CO.

Interest in the Westside oil field
continues to grow, following the Yis-
it here recently of score or more of
expert geologists who looked the
prospects over very carefully and
then returned to report to their su-
periors.
Two interesting offors were receiv-
ed this week by c. H. Connect, one
of the trustees of the Yuha Westside
Oil Syndicate, recently formed here
by local claim holders.
One of these is from c. G. Runner,
who was here about ten days ago
with a party of experts and declared
that he was eager to drill at once on
land in the vicinity of the old Yuha
drill hode held by local interests. He
proposed that the local syndicate
grant his company tract of land in
the vicinity on which to drill without
lease, reserving forty acres in each
quarter section, which the drilling
company would undertake to prove
up for the claim holders. This prop
osition has attracted considerable in
terest, in view of the fact that
strike on any of the land would make
the forty acres immensely valuable,
whereas it now is not of much value.
The second offer came Wednesday
in the form of a ready drawn lease
for six sections of land in the same
vicinity from H. |. Reynolds, of San
Diego, and his associates. Mr., Rey
nolds offers straight royalty of an
eight and promises to have a drill
capable of going down 400 feet on
the ground by the middle of next
October.
Reynolds was here about ten days
ago and made thorough survey of
the field. He has associated with
him d. |. Eldridge and w. d. Morri-
son, of San Diego
Runner was here recently with F.
w. Gregg, A. B. Latham and A. B.
Cochrane, all well-known geogogists.
He announced that he had formed one
company to start drilling at once on
land Just north of the local property
which is controlled by Baird and
others, of Pasadena. He wanted the
Westside land for operations by a
second company and agreed to put
down a we'll 4,000 fet deep within the
year. He is expected back in a day
or two with definite proposition.

Negligent
Aut0istS Pay

That the warning issued some few
days ago by City Marshal Toney to
autoists was made in earnest is at
tested to by today's appearance of
the register in Recorder Whitelaw's
court.
No less than eight entries were
made this morning when violators of
the city's traffic ordinance were
brought before the judge. Fines rang
ing from So to SIS were imposed up
on the guilty offenders.
"We are determined to stop this
proposition of parking less than fif-
teen feet from fire plugs, and for
running through the city streets with
open mufflers and no tail lights or
improper headlights" said Marshal
Toney this morning.
"The city police department does
not wish to be mean about this prop
osition, but we are going to see that
the traffic ordinances are enforced,
and we hope that negligent motorists
will be guided accordingly" continued
the chief.
