 CHICAGO, July Ex-Governor Len Small departed from Chicago today on tour of the state roads with a view to rushing work on the s60,- 100000 program approved by the voters two years ago.
 Replying to charges that he was seeking to delay the serving of the warrants based on the three indict- ments voted against him in Sanga- mon county last week, the governor said:
 T will be available to anybody who has any official business to transact,' and indicated that he would continue to direct the affairs of the state dur ing the next few days from his auto- mobile. Before leaving, he issued a statement to the people of the state, in which he said:
 Up to the time that had an- nounced my candidacy for the Repub- lican nomination for governor no person ever accused me of wrong doing.

 Seventy men were assigned to the New York attacking party. Weather conditions were ideal.
 The haze that hung over the land made observation of the planes fly ing at 5000 feet, virtually impossible, and officers declared the planes could have bombed away without fear of successful counter attack from the ground antiaircraft guns.
 After the forts had been put out of action, the sGuadrons swooped down to 4,000 feet and flew over Wall street.

U. $. |S NOT IN FAVOR .OF PRELIMINARY TO DISARMAMENT MEET

 WASHINGTON. July 2s.-Propos- als for preliminary meetings of the representatives of all the powers and any separate group of them prior to the disarmament conference are re- ceiving no encouragement from the American government. Although of ficials declined to comment formally, it is the apparent belief here that all of the various schemes suggested for preliminary sessions are imprac- ticable and might lead to defeat of the purposes of the conference itself. This feeling is understood to apply with particular force to any proposal that certain questions be taken up before hand in separate conferences where only certain members of the main conference are represented It is held that such plan not only would have the undesirable result of creating groups within the main group, but might open such avenues of discussion that 1t would leave the participants further from solution thaN they were in the beginning.
 No details of the negotiations have been revealed, but it is generally un- derstood that Great Britain is urging such conference and this country is holding out against it.
 It also is understood that this gov ernment holds to it's original sugges- ton that the conference assemble here on Armistice Day. November Il, though some of the other invited na- tions have urged that a later date be selected
 Meantime officials are working steadily in the preparation of details. It Is said no actual choice of the per sonnei of the American delegation has yet been made. It Is expected generally, however, that the president himself will not sit at the conference. but that Secretary Hughes will act as head of the American delegates. II has been intimated that serious con sideration might be given to sugses- tions that at least one of the places on the delegation go to a woman.

MANY MINERS FLOCK
 TO KOKOMO CREEK

Carl Eriksson, oldtmer of the Cleary basin, who arrived .n Nenana several days ago, accompanied by Mrs. ET'iksson and their three children intending to locate there permanently, says the discovery of pay at the upper end of KCkomc creek is attracting mining men from all corners of the Fairbanks district and the indications are that the find will result in the thorough prospecting of nearby creeks particularly Miller creek, which heads in the same dome, close to, Kokomo, says the Nenana News.
 KollCmo creek, where the pay jlas been located, and for some distance down stream, is shallcw and thawed and the ground probably will event tally be worked by the open cut meth cd But MT Erikss0n does not look for large scale mining until next year It will take z, summer, he says, to make preparations for work.
 Shortly before he left Clearly, he learned that Sam Weiss, of Chatanika had secured several lays near discov- cry and it is generally believed he has a good thing in sight
 Clearly creek, once the scene of great activity from end to end, is now nearly deserted, there remaining only adout dozen persons in the entire Clearly basin. A number of the old timers, who make the creek their home, will work with the Alaska Road commission during the summer, on the proposed Chatanika- Circye highway. MT. Eriksson believes this highway some day will be part of the Alaska tourist route and that Chatanika will eventually be the Interior terminal of the government railroad.
 Mrs. Eriksson has taken over the management of the Skof House, on Market street, near the telegraph sta tion.

NEW ORDER FOR GUIDANCE OF
 OIL L0CATORS

Secretary of the Interior Fall has issued the following important no. tice to oil land locators in Alaska, copy of the order having been received by the Times from Delegate Dan Sutherland:
 Section 13 of the act of February 25, 1920, (41 Stat, 437,441) author izes the secretary of interior to grant permit ito prospect for oil or gas upon not to exceed two thousand five hundred and sixty acres of land * not within any known geological structure of producing oil or gas field" with the proviso that "in the territory of Alaska prospecting per mits not more than five in number may be granted" The proviso also grants longer periods for beginning and completing prospecting than in the states.
 In order to encourage exploration and development in Alaska, provisos to section 22 of the act permit the secretary of the interior to fix rent als and royalties and to waive pay ment of any rentals of royalties for not exceeding the first five years of any lease.
 | Section 27 limits an individual to holding at one time more than three oil or gas leases "in any one state," and not more than one lease within the geologic structure of the same producing oil or gas field. As under the proviso to Section 13 five per mits may be granted to an individual, corporation, or association in Alaska, it follows that upon discovery of oil or gas within areas so permitted, five leases may be granted.
 In the original instruction issued under said act it was held (section 10, paragraph (a), relating to per mits in Alaska), that-a person, as sociation or corporation is author ized to hold five permits at one time in said territory, but only one permit in the geologic structure of any one producing oil field.
 To the extent that it was suggested that any prospecting permit could issue under the act, either in Alaska or elsewhere, for lands in the geo logic structure of a producing oil field this was manifeStlv i'm error and to correct that error, the words "of any one producing oil field" were stricken from the paragraph quoted, and "any one' substituted for :the" before geologic structure" so that it now reads:-a person, association or corporation is authorized to hold five permits at one time in said ter ritory, but only one permit in any geologic structure
 And thus amended, the instructions are open to the objection that there is no provision of law placing the restriction upon gas and oil permits in Alaska contained in the last clause of the sentence just quoted
 There are, with. the exception of a small area near Katalla, no produc-. ing structures or areas in Alaska, and with that exception and possibly the

detective proved wrong. They reached

American showed himself TO be n born

fee and liquors Hugh gave him brief
outline of what had taken place since
he first got mixed up In the AFFAIR.
The American listened in silence,
though amazement shone on his face
as the story proceeded. Only when
Hugh had finished, and early arrivals
for supper were beginning to I'LL the

as he saw It.

seat occupied by Theodore Roosevelt,
now assistant secretary OF the navy.
He was opposed by Fontaine Taliafer-

possessed an enviable record.
