SOLUTION FOR OIL.
.STAGNATION PRICE
Is SUGGESTED BY
OKLAHOMA SOL0N
ROBERT OWEN WIRES HARDING
ADVISABUITY GOVERNMENT
BUYING SURPLUS WHILE
MARKET Is FALLING

Tulsa, Okla, June 10.-United
States Senator Robert l.. Owen,
here looking after business inter.
ests, pointed out a partial solu-
ton OF the stagnation In the oii
market when he sent telegram
last night 10 President Harding
recommending that the United
States government take advantage
OF the present low market by pur-
chasing the surplus for its own
use.
Senator Owens telegram read:
"The administration. while oil is
cheap and the oil industry Is In
need of market for fuel oil,
ought to put up tanlSage and store
one hundred million barrels Of
cheap oil against future needs Of
the navy and merchant marine. I
commend the consideration OF this
matter To you and your cabinet"
Senator owen declared such ac-
ton on the part Oi the govern
ment would result In saving of
much money since oil is sure TO
rise in price and the commodity
would be- purchased otherwise for
federal use in smaller quantities at
far greater cost. lie expressed
the belief that the proposition
would receive serious consideration
and was hopeful OF its adoption.
At the present price Of Sl.5o
per barrel. the oil storage pro-
gram outlined would entail an cx-
penditure by the government Of
Sl5O, 900. 900.
Senator Owen was ~ the opn-
ion also. that the buying OF sur
plus oil at this time by the gov
ernment would stimulate the gen
eral market speedily and result In
quick return 20 higher price
levels with renewed activity and
the furnishing u employment To
many idle men through the mld-
continent oil fields.

Denver, Juno 10.--!The recall of Ad-
miral Sims from England and his dis
honorable discharge from the United
States navy by President Harding il
his remarks in London on the Irish
question are found to be correctly
quoted, was demanded in resolu-
tion presented today i'm the annual
convention OF the metal trades depart
ment OF the American Federation Of
Labor.
Washington. June TO- - Secretary
DENLY said today before entering the
cabinet meeting that he did not plan
TO bring to the attention of the presi-
dent or the cabinet, the speech OF
Rear Admiral Sims at London in
which the admiral attacked irish sym
pathizers in the United States.
London, June 10.-The reply Of Rear
Admiral Sims to the request OF Sec
retary of the Navy DENLY for an ex-
PLANTATION Of his speech here Tues
day, expressed the opinion OF Admiral
Sims that some parts of the speech
to which objection had been taken
had been garbled. This was learned
unofficially, but on good authority,
here today.
In his answer, which IL not long,
Admiral Sims declared he said nothing
in his address which he had not said
before in speeches in the United States
and in his book
Rear Admiral William S. Sims made
no direct mention Of Americans in
cause today during u 40-minute ad-
dress at luncheon given in his honor
by the American Luncheon Club.
In an apparent alluson, however,
to his remarks Of Tuesday, when he
addressed the English Speaking Union
Admiral Sims said
Perhaps We have used too ener-
getic adjectives on some occasions, but
let US hope that will be amicably ex-
planned away"
The admiral paused a moment and
then added:
But | am going on doing the same
thing"
This brought a repetition Of uproar-
lous applause which had greeted the
remarks OF Wilson Crose. vice presi-
dent OF the American Chamber of
Commerce in London. in introducing
Admiral Sims.
"He is stung again, but he says he
will stand by what he has said" Mr..
Cross told the assembled company Il
want TO assure him that this company
will stand with him-and so will all

ericans."
Admiral Sims In replying said he
was afraid he had gone TO excess IN
telling the truth, and he feared he had
done so the other day, at least IN
the opinion OF certain people, he ad-
ded.
The admiral said he had been ac-
claimed by critics as the most popu-
lar British admiral in the American
navy" and had been accused OF be-
ing pro-British.

UNPRECEDENTED
RISE AT GREAT BEND
TIDE WATER STATIONARY, But
RIVER FLOWS IN STREAM TWO
MILES WIDE IN THE Low
BOTTOM SECTIONS

Oklahoma City, June 10-A rise Of
four feet in the North Canadian river
was reported TO have reached Canton,
Blaine county, late yesterday in adj
vices received today by the United
states weather bureau here. This rise
is expected to reach El Reno some
time tomorrow, and oklahoma City
Monday, it was said.
Whether serious flood conditions will
prevail in the central part OF the
state as a result OF the rise depends
on the amount Of rain received locally
before the crest arrives, it was ex-
planned by weather officials.
Should local rains keep the river at
its present stage, the additional amount
Of water will cause serious inunda-
ton. it is feared. On the other hand.
little inconvenience is expected If the
river is permitted to tail before the
new rise arrives.
Reports to the bureau indicate the
rise of the flood on the South Cana
dian has reached the eastern part OF
the state. Whether it has arrived at
the junction point with the Arkansas
river is not known since reports on the
Arkansas river are not received here.

Wichita. Kan, June lO.-Warning
that flood conditions were expected to
be worse than at first anticipated.
was issuel this morning by s. p. Pet
erson, weather forecaster. The big
Arkansas river will overflow its banks
In the low places in Wichita in the
next u TO "a hours, he predicted. This
prediction was based he said. not only
on local conditions, but on the unex-
rected turn Of events in Great Bend
yesterday.
With a rise Of only one inch from
o'clock this morning until $3.50 a. m.
no great damage Is looked for here
today as a result Of the flooded con-
dit.on Of the Arkansas river.
The chief danger lies in the little
Arkansas river, which rose three feet
from noon yesterday until early today.
A rise Of several feet more in the
smaller stream would throw the BIZ
Arkansas river out OF banks. The crest
is expected tonight or tomorrow morn
ing and persons living along the river
are moving out. Industrial plants so
located. also are preparing FOR an In.
undation
Reports from Great Bend indicate
little change In the situation but the
river Is steadily rising the waters
creeping into the residence districts.
No loss OF life ha, been reported but
crops have been damaged all along the
river valley.
The river took a sharp jump Of 81
feet last night, bringing the total rise
here during the last two days up TO
6.7 feet above the normal low water
stage.
10 appeared that the flood would
no, rise high enough to invade the
main business district OF Wichita.
