WOULD REIMBURSE THE
 OWNERS OF WHISNEY
Pr0hibitiOnists Propose That Goyern- ment Shall Purchase IntOxicants;
 For Legitimate Uses.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Prohibition leaders are working out comprehen- sive program for reimbursing the oWn- CTS of intoxicating liquor for the loss es sustained under constitutional pro- hibition
 A proposal has been submitted to tire Treasury Department by some of tie prohibitionists in Congress, which provided that the government shall purchase all the liquors now being held under bond, amounting to about 60,00O,O0O gallons, Treasury certif- cates would be issued for the liquor and these liquidated only as the gov ernment finds legitimate uses for this large amount of bonded spirits,
 From 10 to 20 years, prohibition leaders estimate, will be required for use up this stock legitimately, such as for medical, scientific or industrial purposes. If the plan is carried out, government experts will be instructed to conduct experiments in any effort to find new converted uses of the liq- uor, such as for motive power.
 The fact that many banks, holders of warehouse certificates for govern ment bonded liquor, will be large los CTS unless some relief is granted, is drawing support for the program. Pro- hi jet h01 f1, NInr, yIri1 r,rn , vide for a stricter and more econom- ical enforcement of prohibition and cause much of the antagonism through out the country to the dry era to wane.
 The plan is said to be meeting with favor at the bureau of internal Revenue and a we'll know prohibit tionist today predicted that such recommendation would soon be made to Congress and a majority for it could be obtained.
 Up to Congress.
 The disposition of the liquor now in bond has been put up to Congress squarely by the Internal Revenue Bu- reau. Extra guards are being placed around all bonded warehouses by the Prohibition Enforcement Division of the bureau. The government must guard all the liquor, and under the present system the expense is fast mounting up into the several mil- lions. John F. Kremer, prohibition gress for $2,OOOOO0 for the service of 2,500 extra guards between now and June 30.

TEXAS MAN WRITES OF
 OIL PROSPECTS MERE
Hooks, Texas Man Writes of Incident in Little River County More Than
 Twenty-Five Years Ago.

Hooks, Tex, Jan l5. Editor Little River News:
 I note you are disposed to give pub licity to any report which might hon estly encourage the oil prospecting in our section. I have in my mind two incidents that were never given to the press, The first occurred nearly 25 years ago. MT. $. Ramsum met a gentleman in Texarkana, introduced him to U $. geologist. He drew lit tie sketch of what he said was sys- tenn of oil flow from Ohio to Beau mont. It passed through near Rich mond, Ark, Hooks, Texas, crossed the lake about Mooringsport and thence down Sabine river to Beaumont. MT. R, showed me the sketch, but we thought little of it as there was no Caddo oil field at that time. The sec ond occurred about twenty years ago. It was letter from man named Spine or Spencer at Waco, Texas. He said he was geologist and an oil ex- pert. He said he had just made trip overland straight through from Rich mond to Hooks, and that he saw more signs of oil and gas than he ever saw in the like distance in the state of Texas, He made a proposition that if we would pool the acreage along the road from Hooks to Red River at the Sanderson farm he would come and show us where to drill and insure a paying we'll. He wanted one-half in terest in the first well. I showed the letter to J. W. Smith, Dr. J. H. Will Hams and others, but we had neither the faith nor the money in those days, though MT. R. sent a lot of newspaper clippings to show his reliability. l give this for what it is north but all developments in last 20 years tend to strengthen my belief that all Bowie and Little River counties lie in the oil belt; but being in the fold of two for nations we may have to go 4,000 feet to the oil sand,
 Respectfully,
 H. D. Nichols.

DEMOCRATS WE'LL FAVOR
 NO GROUP i; STAND PAT
To Conduct Campaign Without Re- gard to Special Interests; Stand
 Pat on Treaty.

New Lork, Jan. IT. - The Demo- cratic party will conduct it's presiden- tial campaign without regard to group interests, Homer s, Cummings, chair Committee, said today MT Cummings who was here to attend a meeting of the Committee on Arrangements for the San Francisco convention, made this statement when asked whether the party intended to undertake any propaganda to overcome the reported defection of certain Irish and other elements opposed to ratification of the peace treaty in it's present form.
 We are going to consider the treaty and other issues as Ameri- cans," said MT. Cummings, q am unalterably opposed to considering question in any other way. Person. ally, believe the radical objections to the peace treaty are more noise than anything else. Those who are shout ing the loudest haven't been strong for us anyway"
 Mr. Cummings called attention to the fact that the National Commit tee has endorsed the peace treaty as submitted by the president and is standing pat on that issue. Those who believed that the treaty was inimi- cal to the political aspirations of the Irish people were in the wrong, he said. The treaty and the League of Nations, he said, would be a real benefit to all the small nations of the world.
 Chairman Cummings said that so many misstatements have been made concerning the Democratic campaign for funds that he would issue a for mal statement within a few days.
 To Avoid Controversies.
 q feel that the chairman of the respective national committees should not enter into personal contro- versy," he said, but the criticism against us has become almost libelOus, and I feel compelled to issue for nal reply and make our position clear"
 The only business transacted by the Committee on Arrangements was the appointment of six subcommittee to handle various phases of the con- vention plans, The Arrangements Committee will assemble in San Fran cisco to make final convention plans. The temporary chairman probably will be named at that time.
 Women were represented on the Committee on Arrangements today .or the first time in the partys his tory, according to party leaders, by Mrs. George Bass of Chicago, chair man of the Women's Bureau of the National Committee, and Miss Mary E. Foy of Los Angeles,
