OIL FARLEY A FAILURE
Diplomatic Efforts Over Djambi
Fields In Air.
Retaliatory Measures Believed Only
Course Open for United States To
Now Follow.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. over the
right of American companies to enter
the Djambi oil field in Sumatra have
reached the point where it would be
necessary for the United States to en-
force the retaliatory provisions which
were mentioned in the note of Charles
Evans Hughes to the Netherlands gov.
eminent.
The Dutch reply it was learned, and
the apparent sentiment in parliament
to stand by the measure barring for
eign capital, have convinced officials
of this government that the point
which they have been seeking to make
cannot be gained automatically.
Little hope is placed here in the
theory advanced in Holland that in the
development of other Americans will
be given consideration, as it believed
that the Djambi field is the only one
which can be counted upon for suffi
Gent oil to make exploitation on q
large scale profitable.
Inquiry is being made by the gov
eminent now, i. is understood, as te
what action may be taken q the
provision of the general land leasing
bill to ~retaliate against Dutch capital.
Broadly the bill. provides that the
right Of development and exploitation
may be denied to nationals of countries
whose home government denies similar
rights to Americans.
1t is not deemed possible that the
measure ear be made retroactive, as
this would place the United States il
the same position relatively which i
now is fighting in Mexico.
No reply has been sent to the lates'
Dutch note, and it is not anticipated
that one will be until the State depart
ment is able to state with positivenes!
what its position will be in the future
toward Dutch capital.

Willis Campbell Measure Passed
by Vote Of $50 to 90, After
Stormy Arguments.
BILL SENT TO SENATE
Representative Hill, Mass, Accuses
Antl-saloon League Attorney Of
Drafting Bill; Charge Throws
House Into Disorder.

Wash1ngtOn-By a vote Of 260 to SO
the house passed the Willis Campbell
bill to prevent the sale Of beer to the
sick and sent it to the Senate with ex-
pectations of its final enactment be-
fore the end Of the week.
The vote, which was twenty-one
more than the necessary two-thirds,
was taken after four hours Of stormy
debate, interrupted frequently with
shouts of stop the talk and pass the
bill.
Wheeler Is Assaulted.
In closing debate for the opponents
Representative Hill, Republican of
Maryland, threw the House into con-
siderable disorder by charging that
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for
the Anti-saloon league, had drafted the
bill. Pointing to the league lawyer in
the gallery and calling him by name,
Mr.. Hill brought a wild shout from the
prohibition element, some of whom
stood until quiet was restored.
There was another dry outburst a
moment later when Representative
Foster, Republican of Ohio, declared
there was no truth in the statement
about Wheeler's part in the prepare
ton of the measure.
Representative Cooper, Republican
OF Ohio, formerly a railroad engineer,
took issue with the American Fedora
ton of Labor in standing for light beer
and wines, declaring it had no right
to make the organization speak on
moral questions. He insisted that the
federation Ibid not express the senti.
ment of the working men,"
Representative Cochran, Democrat
of New York, declared prohibition or
any other law could not be enforced
when public sentiment is against it.
Advocating strict enforcement of
prohibition, Representative Burton, Re
publican Of Ohio. declared that it
must be conceded that the eighteenth
amendment imposes more drastic regu-
lations on the people than any other
amendment" a
1T was adopted by an overwhelm-
ing majority said Mr.Burton. I'VE
must carry out the mandate of the
people"
~ Kahn Taunts Drys.
Warning the House against the con.
slant spread of l%awbreaking since en-
actment of drastic prohibition, laws
Representative Kahn, Republican of
California, turning sharply on advo-
Gates of the anti-beer bill, declared
there are members here who voted
for prohibition and who drink more
liquor in a week than l do in a year"
Mr.. Kahn asserted the Volstead
law was being broken every hour Of
the day, and that Congress ought to
handle the problem in a rational way.

WARNS OF COALFAM|NE
Senator Forecasts Tragedy I'm.
pending Over America.
Says Mine Operators Have United
Into zone Big Union" to
Gouge Coal Buyers.

Washington-A warning that a
tragedy in the nature of a coal
famine" is impending over the United
States, and an assertion that all ma
tional organizations in the coal indus
try "have united into one big union
to continue their strangle hold On the
necks and purses Of coal buyers" de-
feating Federal legislation intended to
cope with the problem, were issued by
Senator Frelinghauysen, Republican of
New Jersey.
Refers to Row Over Bills.
The statement referred to the con.
troversy over the Frelinghuysen bills,
now on the senate calendar, one of
which would facilitate granting of
freight rates on coal lower in sum
mer and higher in winter, while the
second would establish government
supervision of coal prices, production,
stocks and movements.
Naming the National Coal associa.
ton, the Anthracite Coal Operators
association, the American Wholesale
Coal association, and the National Re
tail Coal Merchants association, Sen.
ator Frelinghuysen said these "com.
bined organizations have unmasked
their batteries, and are attacking with
a violence almost unprecedented the
very practical piece of legislation be-
fore the Senate" and were endeavor'
ing by "misstatements and misrepre
sentations' to throw dust in the eyes
of the Senate and the public"
Coal operators, Senator Frelinghuy'
sen said, always asserted that high
prices during recent shortage periods
never brought them great profits
But l am disposed to believe they
have never been sincere, and have
never told the truth regarding opera
tors profits" and in "hectic fulmina
ton lobbyists of the "bombastic furi
$50 type are issuing propaganda Of
grotesquely inaccurate and misleading
nature" to make it appear that govern
ment operation of mines is involved il
the legislation.
'If those bills are defeated,
tragedy next fall and winter in the
nature of a coal famine, worse thar
| ever experienced before, is inevitable
Senator Frelinghuysen said, pointing
out that his measures would come Il
| vote or be sent back to committed
next week.
The fact is, l doubt if this famine
can be avoided, but we a proven
a second tragedy a year later"
