FIRST WELL IN SEARCH .OF O|L NEAR PHOENIX WILL BE SUNK AT ONCE

Completion of financial arrange ments for the development of the oil field near Phoenix is reported by A. w. Fisher. He states that the best equipment money can buy and the most experienced men who can be found soon will be on the ground.
 G. c. Wucherer, oil expert of Cali fornia, has been in Phoenix the past week and has determined the location where the first well is to be drilled in the pool. He spent several days going over the territory which he went over with MT. Fisher on his first visit here a couple of months ago. when, he came here upon Mir Fishers belief that an oil field existed near Phoenix, and his wonderful instrument verified his first survey without the slightest variation.
 "The financial packer of the enter prise, man of keen judgment and a millionaire" says MT. Fisher. '"became so satisfied with the accuracy of MT. Wucherer's work that he immediately made arrangements for the organiza- tion of the development company and the sinking of the first well without delay. One hundred thousand dollars is at hand and immediately available for the first welfN and abundant funds for the drilling of five more wells as soon as the initial well is completed are also available. The company is 8 close corporation and not a share of stock will be for sale now or at any other time"
 MT. Wucherer and MT. Fisher will constitute the two western directors on the board. which will consist of five directors. MT Alexander of the Davie Realty company has been appointed to the position of secretary. The name of the corporation is the 'Wucherer Oi company and the deposit will be

known as the "wucherer pool" in rec ognition of it's discoverer
 'The men back Of the enterprise in California and Texas" says Mir Fisher, .are convinced beyond the slightest doubt that they will bring in well, and a big one sat that: MT. Wucherer himself declares it will be a gusher of great magnitude, owing to the fact that the deposit was indicated by his instrument when hardly within 50 miles of it, a remarkable demonstra- ton of the strength of the pool.
 T am not only convinced of the ex- istence of a rich pool right at our door," !" says MT. Fisher, but I tell those who are discouraged over their losses due to the cotton situation and who are ready to throw up their hands and quit, to hold on for a time and they will see such prosperity in Phoenix and the Salt River valley as they never dreamed of. The discovery of oil here will bring rush of the big oil mag mates from all over the country with their millions, and the city of Phoenix will double in population in few months and farm lands will increase accordingly"

bers have been paying heretofore, are the same that S5 per cent of the sue cessful chambers of commerce of the nation are assessing their member ships. And when one stops to con- sider it, $25 is not an unreasonable amount for the citizen who is inter ested in the welfare and development of his home city to contribute toward that end. Twenty five dollars a year means cents a day, the price of a postage stamp and a newspaper, less than one-haf the amount the average high school girl pays for her ice cream. It will be optional with the member as to whether he pays this amount all at the time of signing. or whether he pays 1t semi annually or quarterly. Naturally the membership does not want to convert it's secretary's office into a bill collecting establishment, as the secretary and his staff will serve in far more valuable way by directing their efforts to those more important things that make for city building
 Every man and woman in Phoenix who really has the interest of the city at heart should bear this fact in mind This Is their campaign and it is up to them to make it either success or 3 great big success. The degree of suc- cess. in other words, is going to de- pend entirely upon the citizens them selves. I am here serving merely in an advisory capacity and recommending the application of those methods that have been tried out and proved as suc- cessful in other communities. Phoenix chamber of commerce is not expert menting in this reorganization move ment; the methods that have been adopted are absolutely certain to bring the desired results

SEES GREAT EMPIRE
IN IRISH COMPROMISE
Toronto Editor Says Proposal
Will Hit Don1inions.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
PELHAM. N. H, July 10. - Lindsay
Craford, editor OF the Toronto States
man, speaking here to-day before O.
gathering of Irish freedom advocates,
predicted that If Ireland Is forced to
accept any compromise which will satisfy
English statesmen the result tn reality
will be "the establishment of an empire
stronger than any the world has yet
seen. and which will form for the peo-
pie OF the United States and other coun-
tries the great problem of the future In
the maintenance of world freedom and
world peace"
He declared that the proposed settle-
ment would prove disappointing to the
people of the self-governiyg British do
minions, since such q settlement while
meaning the paciflcation of the Irish,
would also have a far greater signifi-
canoe, since It would mean chiefly the
reconstruction of the British Empire "on
lines that would arrest the national evo-
luton toward complete sovereignty,
which is the natural and inevitable ten
dency of self-government In the Do
minions."
If Ireland is forced to accept such o
compromise as is offered 10 her by these
imperialists her action will lend tre-
mendous moral weight to the designs OF
the imperdalists, who are seeking to head
off movements for independence in the
Dominions by the establishment of a
single empire state, of which Canada
and the other Dominions will form COM
ponent parts and in which they will be
merged and relinquish their claims tc
Independent sovereignty"

CHINESE MINISTER
PRAISES u. S. STAND
Calls Secretary Hughes's Note
Gratifying in Regard to
open Door,
SOUND POSITION TAKEN
Envoy Says Signing of Lam
sing-Ishii Agreement Left
Situation Cloudy.
SOUND POSITION TAKEN

WASHINGTON, July 1o.-The recent
declaration of the intention of the
United States to continue it's support OF
the open door in China was commended
Tonight by sao-ke Alfred Sze. the
Chinese Minister.
In a statement which contained the
text of notes exchanged between his
Government and the State Department
the Minister declared IL was gratifying
to note" from Mr.. Hughes's reply, "the
pronunciation of the open door policy in
China" and that the position of the
American Government was sound and
can hardly be shaken"
The statement contained the following
note addressed to the Secretary of State
on June 9:
'I have the honor TO inform you that
ON the Sth of January last an agreement
was made between the Ministry Of Com
munications, on behalf Of the Chinese
Government. and the Federal Telegraph
Company, an American corporation, for
the erection and operation, as joint en-
terprise of the Chinese Government and
the American company, Of stations for
wireless communication.
Against this agreement protests were
presented to my Government by certain
governments, claiming that by granting
to the American company the right of
participation with the Chinese Govern
ment in wireless communications the
rights of their nationals secured under
prior contracts were violated.
'In a recent conversation with you on
the subject I understood from you that
the American Government could not adj
NIT the validity Of such claims by rea-
son Of their contravening the treaty
rights of American citizens in China and
the principle of the open door,
MY Government Is informed that
these governments have explained their
views to you. and, therefore. instructs
me to inquire whether or not 1t is the in
tention of the American Government to
maintain its position in the matter"
The statement continued: China
welcomes Mr.. Hughes's reply. which Is
declaration of the policy on the part
of the American Government with re-
spect to China. Since the signing of the
Lansing-Ishii agreement to some people
the position of the American Govern
ment in this regard has seemed to be
more or less clouded with doubts and
uncertainties because no official account
of the negotiations leading to the con-
clusion Of that agreement has been pub
lished. The present declaration clears
the atmosphere.
Mr.. Hughes's language is clear and
explicit when he writes:
1.-The Government of the United States
has never associated itself with any ar
rangement which sought to establish any
special rights or privileges in China
which would abridge the rights of the
subjects or citizens of other friendly
States, and I am happy to assure you
The New York herald., 1921-07-11

that II Is the purpose OF this Government
neither to participate nor acquiesce IN
any arrangement which might puTport
TO establish in favor of the foreign IN
terests any superiority of rights with re-.
spect to commercial or economic deyel-
opments In designated regions of the
territories OF China, or which might seek
to create any such monopoly or prefer
ence as would exclude other nations
from undertaking any legitimate trade
or industry or from participating with
the Chinese Government in any category
of public interprise.'
1T Is gratifying to note the reenuncia-
tion of the open door policy in China
1t means that there are no special or
superior rights or privileges claimed by
any nation in any designated region or
China which the American Government
will recognize, the American Government
having never associated itself with any
such arrangement.
''It means also that the American
Government will not permit It's citizens
or the nationals of any other countries
to acquire monopolistic rights in private
or public enterprises in China. The po-
sition thus taken by the American Gov
ernment Is sound and can hardly De
shaken, for all rights which foreign
nations have in China are derived from
treaties made between China and otner
countries. The favored nation clause
gives to the United States all the rights
and privileges acquired by other couh-
tries without any further or express pro-
visions. Under such circumstances no
foreign nation has acquired any speciai
rights in China"

POLICE ON SHIP WATCH
2 SOUGHT FOR MURDER
Will Make Arrests When Yes
sci Enters u. S. Waters.

HAVANA, July 10.-F'our members or
the Cleveland police force were on board
the steamship Monterey, which left here
to-day on its voyage from Vera Cruez to
New York, having among its other pas
sengers Charles Colletti and Dominic
Benigno. two Italians who are wanted
in Cleveland on a charge of murder
Colletti and Benigno were not in custody
but 1t was virtually certain that they
would be arrested when the vessel
reached American waters.
This state of affairs was brought
about following the arrest of the two
men in Mexico City on June 2 on the
Cleveland charge. Efforts by the United
States Government to obtain their ex-
tradition failed. the Mexican Government
expelling them as ''pernicious foreign
ers."
The American detectives took passage
on the Monterey when Colleth and
Benigno We're placed on board at Vera
Cruz. Measures were taken to prevent
the deportees from landing at Havana,
thus making It practically certain that
they will be under arrest when the ves-
sci reached New York.

who died from typhus in Russia in 1920.
Fears that the outbreak of Asiatic
cholera in Russia may develop into a
repetition OF the epidemic Of 1891 are
expressed by DIR. Semashko. Commissary
of Public Health OF Soviet Russia. writ

has developed into an epidemic of large
proportions and that the sanitary state
of the country is most alarming.
Several cases supposed to be cholera
which were discovered in Walk, Esthonia,
have turned out not to be that disease,
according to the Lettish Consul at Walk.
The Consul telegraphed his Government
to-day that meteorological examina-

cautions. however, are being taken to
prevent the spread Of the plague from
Russia to the Baltic States.
