No REPORT HERE
ON RESULT TEST
OF QUADRANGLE

The Jury is still out in the case
of the Quadrangle Oil company, in
it's search for an oil pool on the
Williams farm, eight miles northeast
of Chickasha in section 1876, the
verdict which was expected yester-
day failing to be turned in.
The reason for this was that the
core barrel was not run yesterday to
test the sand on which the company
shut down at a depth of 2,186 feet,
it was learned today. Failure to get
fully rigged up for this test was
given as the answer.
1t was thought possible yestardat
evening that the core barrel would
be run last night, but up to noon
today there was no report which
would indicate whether or not this
drilling had been done. The com
rany's superintendent, l.. D. Truitt
stated yesterday that they had
picked up sand which would be
core-barreled before drilling deeper
with the rotary bit. The sand, he
said would be thoroughly tested.
In the event the present sane
proves to be dry, the well will bt
drilled to depth of 1000 feet, un

Irish situation.
Hy United Press.
Dublin. Aug. i've cannot. will
not accept the British governments
terms to become a dominion under
British rule" said Eamon DE Valera,
Irish republican leader before the
Irish parliament.
"The Irish people are not going to
be- fooled this time" Devalera's
statement continued. He declared
that the statement that Ireland had
been offered dominion home rule Is
false.
"The proposal places Ireland in
two broken pieces" Devalera con.
tinued. Also, Ireland was never
offered the same status as the other
British dominions. We will submit
the matter to external arbitration
but this is the best we can do"
DeValera continued: I'VE have
enmity for Great Britain but talk
as a separate nation today. AS such
would we enter into these or other
negotiations"
British civil officials in Dublin
ctate that they still have hopes of a
settlement with Ireland and base
their opinion on facts which they
say they have learned concerning
the inner workings Of the Sim Fein.
one section of DeValera's speech
said:
'ln the general election. which in
effect, was a plebiscite, the question
was put to the Irish people what
form of government they wanted and
how they wished to live so that they
might have the opportunity of work
out for themselves, their own nation
al life in their own way
"The answer the people gave was
unmistakable. | do not say their
answer was for a republican form Of
government so much, because we
are no republican doctrinaries, but
it was for Irish freedom and Irish
independence, and it was obvious to
everybody who considered the ques-
tion that Irish independence could
not be realized at the present time
in any other way so suitable as
through a republic.
Opportunity for Settlement.
Hence it was that an Irish repub-
lie, as such, was sanctioned by the
representatives of the people, and
that you, the representatives Of the
people. came here and in public ses-
sion, declared the independence Of
the nation and solemnly declared
give your lives and everything you
had in an endeavor to make that ex-
preston of the people effective so
that you would have not merely in
your own hearts recognition of it,
but that you might secure recogni-
tion of it from every nation through
out the EARTH
That is taken by officials here as
affording an opportunity for Mr..
DeValera to accept a settlement of
the controversy which does not in
volve a republic.
Further on in his speech Mr.. De-
Valera quoted statesman who had
advocated the principle of self de-
termination and this to the official
mind in Dublin points to recon-
mendation by the Sim Fein cabinet
of the Dali Eireann to submit the
imperial. governments offer to a
vote of the people of Ireland.

MAY INCREASE
DRAFT PRICE
From $4,000 to $500 Per
Player, with Privilege
Of Return.
Player DID
NOT MEASURE UP
-
Resembling Of Barnstorm-
ing Prohibition Also ,
Considered.

New York, Dec. 10 (By the Assoeiat.
ed Press).-Several plans for a restor.
alton of the draft under conditions
satisfactory to both minor and major
leagues were being considered by the
baseball advisory council to-day.
One Of the plans provided that in the
event Of a class IA club losing a play
er via draft the major league club re-
ceiving the player, after paying 5000
as provided in the present arrange
ment, would send a player to the "A
club in place of the drafted man. An
other proposed that the draft price be
raised to 81, 500 and that in case the
drafted player did not measure up to
major league standard he should be re-
turned to the club from which he was
taken at half the draft price.
One Of these propositions may be
used by the advisory council in reach
ing an agreement to be submitted to
the minors concerned for action.
The leagues resumed their joint SEES
sion in order to settle a few matters
Of lesser importance-including the
proposal to rescind the rule prohibiting
worlds series players from barnstorm-
ing; the pet scheme of Commissioner
Landis-reduction in admission prices
for the worlds series.
Judge Lands yesterday carried
through one Of his ideas-the seven
game worlds series-and it was said
that he was as eager to have the
leagues adopt a reduced price schedule
for the worlds series at least.
A majority of the minor league rep
rcsentatives left for their homes last
night but the few were on hand they
said, in order to keep up with the draft
talk.
Miller Higgins Of the Yankees, Tyl
Cobb Of Detroit. Boss Duffy OF the
