OTHERS FOR STANDARD
 ALSO TO BE DRILLED
25O-Barrell Bumper" is Final De-
 cisiOn as to First We'll When Officials Fear to Drill Deeper

Camden. July 12.-Preparations to drill two more wells in the Stephens field were under way tonight, follow ing the decision of Superintendent Lowe of the Louisiana Oil and Refin- ing company to accept the s. s. Hun ter we'll finally as 25O-barrel "pum- per-"
 The Transcontinental Oil company said to be an independent, has locat- ed one quarter mile north of the S. S.. Hunter we'll and has it's derrick timbers on the grounds.
 Hunter interests, operated by a son of S. s. Hunter, are locating about one mile east, and have their derrick up and their derrick machinery on the siding at Oegemaw. They plan to begin drilling on July 20.
 The Louisiana Oil and Refinery company, it was announced tonight, will sink another we'll, possibly seve- ral others, on the section on which the present we'll is located. Work is to be begun at once. The present we'll will be used as a fuel well to supply these other ventures.
 Decision to drill no further in the present we'll came late today after a conference at Stephens between Su- perintendent Lowe and representa- tives of the company from Shreveport. It was feared that further depth might bring in salt water and result in running the whole propositions
 Superintendent Lowe and his assist ants finished their bailing out pro- cess today. They stopped work to await instructions and after a con- ference with company officials 1t was announced there would be no further drilling.

Miners Renew
 Arguments in
 Anthracite Cases

Scranton, Pa.. July 12.-Represen- tatives of the Mine Workers today renewed their argument before the Anthracite coal commission for the admission in evidence of seven of their exhibits, which deal chiefly with monopolistic control and profi- teering in the hard coal industry. The charges were included in a statement containing IS points or exhibits pre- sented to the commission last week bv w. Jett Lauck, but the operators obj jected to the submission of the seven points dealing with profiteer- ing and monopolistic control, and the commission still had the question of their admission under consideration.
 In their arguments today the mine workers admitted that the power and authority of the commission extends only to such issues as are formally submitted to it by the operators and miners, but declared it has an addi- tional "implied jurisdiction" which is only limited by the public interest.
 "Under this implied jurisdiction" {" the miners declared, "the commission may not be able to act directly, but it can nevertheless exert it's power in- directly by advice of resolution to specific agencies having direct power or jurisdiction.
 "Obviously the commission has no direct jurisdiction over profits and prices of coal companies, or of rates and profits of transportation com panies," it says.

FLOYD CR!TICIzES
 ABUSE OF PARDON POWER OF GOVERNOR
Candidate is Heard Here by a Large Audi
 ence

Judge J. c. Floyd, candidate fol governor, speaking to we'll filled Icourt room last night, declared that the people of Arkansas should elect a governor who twill not turn crimi- nals out of the penitentiary as fast as the, courts can send them there."
 Judge Floyd was discussing the pen itentiary and the state farms. He called attention to deficit in the pen itentiary fund, and said:
 "Mr. Powell's printed speech sug- gests that we sell the walls and apply the proceeds in paying the debts of the penitentiary." Judge Floyd said he was in favor of building the walls higher and electing a governor who would not free prisoners indiscrimi- nately.
 q believe that the state should con- trol it's penal, educational and charit- able institutions and that no set or ring of politicians in Little Rock or elsewhere should be permitted to con- trol the politics of the state through those channels" he continued.
 Right now two members of the pen itentiary commission and two mem- bers of the board of control are devot- ing most of their time to an effort to elect Smead Powell. If am elected l propose to recommend to the legis- lature law forbidding political ac- tivity on the part of boards of our charitable, educational and penal in- stitutions, making such political ac- tivity grounds for removal"
 Mr. Floyd reviewed his record as a congressman at length. He was in- troduced by Harry T. Woodbridge and received a big welcome.

Wanderer to Face Trial for Murder
 Within a Month

Chicago, July 12.-Carl Wanderer, former army officer, will go to trial within a month for the staying of his wife and an unidentified strang- CT, who aided him in framing fake hold-up, States Attorney Hoyne said today, after two true bills had been voted by grand jury. The indictments will not be return ed until later in the week on recom- mendation of the states attorneys s office, to permit further questioning of the prisoner. Meanwhile the police continued their efforts to find g. woman in the case and establish the identity of the stranger. It was thought that he was John J. Maloney of River Point, k. l., but the police said description Eof Maloney did not tally with the man.
 Wanderer, who had maintained a |cheerful composure since his arrest, is weakening under the strain, the police said.
 The police questioned Miss Julia Schmitt, a stenographer, after it was learned that Wanderer had writ ten letters to her, but she was later released. Both Wanderer and the young woman denied anything more than casual friendship between them. Miss Schmitt said she did not know Wanderer was married.
 Believing that an alleged love af- Fair with Miss Schmitt might furn- sh the possibility of a motive for he double staying the 17 year old girl tonight was taken again to the eriminal court building where Wand erer was made to confront her.
 Wanderer admitted having taken he girl to an amusement park sever
 times.
 "Was she the cause of your killing Jour wife and the stranger" he was
 sked. f. | "No, she was merely side issue,' Fanderer responded. q was tired of
 narried life."

ANOTHER SERIOUS CRISIS C0NFR0NTS
 SPA CONFERENCE:
Germans Must Deliver 2,OOO,- 900 Tons of Coal Each
 Month
CONQUERED REBEL
 AT ALLIED FIGURES
Germans Contend That Every Ton Sent to the Allies Means That Much Less Production in
 in Germany

Spa, Belgium, July 12.-Negotia- tions between the allies and the Ger mans have reached another tense point.
 The spirit of conciliation adopted by both sides thus far has prevented 8 break, but the allies today found it was necessary to issue an ultima tum that the Germans must agree by 8 o'clock tomorrow afternoon to de- liver to the allies two million tons of coal monthly.
 As an alternative, the German del egation to the conference here was advised, the allies will take measures necessary to enforce the treaty of Versailles.
 The question of coal was the sub feet of controversy during a three hour session of Premier Millerand Premier Lloyd George, Count Sforza the Italian foreign minister; Wis count Chinda, Japanese minister to Great Britain; Premier Delacroix of Belgium, Konstantin Fehrenbach. German chancellor and Dr. Walter Simons, the German foreign minister.
 The allies began by insisting upon a monthly delievery of 100000 tons. The Germans offered 100000 tons and the allies reduced their demand to two million.
 Dr. Simons represented that coal being the very foundation of the industrial life of Germany, every ton that Germany sent to the allies meant that much less production He said.
 "Mv contention is in European in- terests as much as in the interest of Germany, because our payments to you are conditioned ppon our in- dustrial production. You want our money. We want vou' to have it, but how can we pay large sums if you take away large quantities of coal ?
 The German foreign minister of fered to increase the deliveries of coal from 100000 tons to 1,4OO,OOO within six months, and to 100000 tons with year. This could only be done. he said. if the allies made better food conditions possible for the miners and contributed raw ma terials to build houses for more miners.
 The premiers, after prolonged dis cussion with the Germans in calm, business-like manner, informed Chancellor Fehrenbach and Dr. Si- mons that the allies must have their final answer tomorrow.

 While this was said to have been the first extended conference at which the senator had discussed the labor situation at length, it was understood tonight that other conferences of a similar nature might follow.
