DEADLOCK ON OIL
BILL BROKEN

House and senate conferees on the
oil land leasing bill have reached an
agreement breaking a deadlock over
house and senate amendments to the
so-called remedial provision of the
oil section.
In adjusting differences over the
remedial proposition, the conferees
agreed upon proposals by Represen-
tative Sinnott designed to prevent
any person obtaining more than the
miximum of $500 acres of oil land
by the Juggling or exchange of claims
or by purchase from claimants.
The conferees also agreed upon a
distribution of royalties derived from
past production whereby 20 per cent
will go to the reclamation fund, 20
to the state in which the oil was OBJ
tanned and 10 per cent to the govern
ment.
On the question of the distribu-
tion of ROYALTIES derived from pres
ent production, the senate insisted
on distribution of IS per cent each
to the reclamation fund and to the
state, and 10 per cent to the federal
government, while the h hDuse man
ager urged 50. 40 and 10 per cent
respectively. A compromise was sug-
gested whereby the percentage would
be ~. AZ l-2 and 10 per cent and
agreeing to the conferees. this will
probably be accepted.

NO MORE OIL LEASES
ON NEW APPLICATIONS

! The state owns q consider able acre
age of land that has not been leased
for oil and gas exploration. Recently
Z considerable area has been clear
listed also. The state land office, il
announced today, has decided not to
issue any mere oil leases at present.
except upon applications that have
been filed heretofore. "It has been u
popular impression that the state has
leased all It's land, retaining no Off
sets or lands contiguous to or in
terminHsd with the lands that have
been leased. This is shown by the
records to be an error, as a large
acreage of lands selected, and which
lie scattered all over the state. but
particularly in the districts that are
believed to be the most promising
for oil. has been retained by the
state. II development should show
that lands in any part of the state
are actually oil bearing. there will be
found tracts Of state land nearby
ia any districa which will have
great value. It is for the purpose
of saving these lands to the state
that the policy of-retaining a portion
of the lands has been pusued, and
now, after about a year of leasing
the states lands. it has been de
cided that for the present, at least,
such lands as the state has retain
ed in the districts where the greatest
amount of leasing has been done
will be held"
II was stated, however. at the state
land office. that proposition for the
actual DRILLING of wells. backed h,
satisfactory bond. would be c'nsil-
cred, and that such tracts rs mir''
be selected bv the commissioner
might be leased TO persons who are
able to do actual development work
and are willing to obligate themselves
to put down wells on state lands.

SUPREME COURT RENDERS
MANY DECISIONS

Edgar Allen, convicted of first de-
gree murder in the district court for
Union county and sentenced to be
hanged, gets a new trial. The supreme
court Monday reversed the Judge
ment of the lower court.
The decision was one of eight an
nounced-iive of them in GRIM
inal cases. The Judgment of the
lower court was reversed in three
cases. including that already uamed.
The appellants in the others revers-
ed are Steve Edins and Aubrey Cal
ley convicted of voluntary mans
slaughter and Claudio Armijo, con-
Victcd of statutory rape.
In the case of Claudio Armijo. San
Miguel county, a reversal was order
ed and new trial granted on the
ground that the mere bald charge"
of a woman against a man in such
case is insufficient IF unsupported
and uncorroborated by facts and cir
cumstances pointing to guilt"
In the Allen case the upper court
held that certain circumstantial evil
dence as to motive was inadmissible
as there was nothing to indicate that
the state of mind of defendent sought
to be shown, could result therefrom.
In the Edius-Calley case it was held
that production in evidence of an at
tOrney's alleged statement outside of
court that unless certain fact were
shown his clients would be convict
ed" was improper.
Judgment OF the lower court was
affirmed in the case of the Albuquer-
que &.Cerrilos coal company, plain
tiffs in error, VS.. Marie Lermus eaux
and Victor LermuseauA Bernalillo
county.
Affirmation was recorded in the
case Harry w Kelly, appellee, vs..
La Cueva Ranch company appellant.
The court ordered a reversal in the
case Of w, G. Dugger. plaintiff in
error, VS. Hal Young, defendant in
error, Lincoln county.
T~dgmen' was affirmed in the case
Of Alvin Afford Of Union county, con-
Viz "a of Illegally selling liquor.
The lower court was affirmed in the
case Of appellants, Park Edmundson
and Albert Daniels Chayes county,
convicted of larceny OF neat cattle.

MORE BLOODED CATTLE
FOR COLFAx COUNTY

Two carloads of exceptionally fine
Herefords, consisting OF about 40
young cows and two magnificent
bulls, passed through the city enroute
to the Remsberg ranch near Ute
Park recently from Eagle. Colo
where they were puchased by the
present owner of the ranch, a wealthy
kansan. These cattle were among
those exhibited by the ChristianSon
ranch at the recent stock show in
Denver. Their purchase price is not
known. Besides these animals an
other bunch of exhibition Herefords
from the stock show whose purchase

brought in last Monday by the Stock

south of Ration. This purchase con
sisted of 10 fine bulls and one young
heifer, the latter having been picked
from a pen exhibited by a Holyoke,
Colo, man at a price of $500.
1t is stated that more fine cattle
were bought for New Mexico herds

for any other western state, which

POLLYANNA WAS HERE.
A few days ago a 9-year-old girl
from Tucumcari, N. M, was having
the time of her life in one of Kan
sas Cify's big hotels, riding up and
down in the first elevator she had
ever seen. She was a cripple whose
nine years had been spent in poverty
and suffering. the latter the result
of congenial dislocation of the hip,
but she was a happy child in won
derland. She had come here in a
Pullman stateroom, in care of a
Tucumcari banker. who also is grand
exalted ruler of the Elks there, and
his wife. Because the child's mother
had to earn her living by manual
toll, and could do nothing more than
provide her crippled daughter and her
other children living. the Elks of
Tucumcari raised fund TO send the
little girl TO the Osteopathic hospital
in Kirksville. and the party had stop
ped in Kansas City a day TO break
the journey. The little girl. Doris
Carver, was taken on to Kirksville
where Saturday she underwent an
operation which the doctors predict
