OIL FARLEY A FAILURE.
Diplomatic Efforts Over Djambi
Fields In Air.
Retaliatory Measure. 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 suifi-
sient oil to make exploitation on q
large scale profitable.
Inquiry is being made by the gov
eminent now, /. Is understood, as to
what action may be taken under 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. 70
1T is not deemed possible that the
measure can be made retroactive, as
this would place the United States in
the same position relatively which It
now is fighting in Mexico.
No reply has been sent to the latest
Dutch note, and it is not anticipated
that one will be until the State depart
ment is able to state with positiveness
what its position will be in the future
toward Dutch capital.

Washington - The administration's
permanent tasiff bill was introduced in
the House Of Representatives and for
the first time was made public.
No explanatory statements accom-.
panied the Introduction Of the measure
as heretofore has been customary, and
no official estimate was made Of the
revenue it is expected to return.
Unofficial estimates by members Of
The Ways and Means committee, how
ever, placed the expected return as
high as $700,000,000 a year. The
iPayne-Aldrich law in the normal pre-
war years produced little more than
$500, 100000 a year.
Differs from Payne Law.
Examination Of the bill, which covers
346 printed pages, shows that in some
cases the rates proposed are higher
than corresponding rates Of the Payne.
spondingly lower.
An estimate of how the whole bill
compares with the Payne-Aldrich law
would only be possible by tariff experts
making detailed study, because the
schedules of the new bill are in many
cases not framed in parallel with the
schedules of the Payne law, but are diff
ferently constructed.
In comparison with the Underwood
tariff law Of the Wilson administration,
the new bill removes many articles
from the free list, although it leaves
a large list free Of duty, including print
paper, wood pulp, leather and harness
and agricultural implements.
Comparison of the wool schedules
with schedule X of the Payne,Aldrich
bill, over which a bitter fight was
waged in Congress, showed material re-
ductions in number of instances.
1t raises the duties on the great bulk
Of imports already being taxed. It. has
made no notable additions to the FREQ
list.
subject to Change.
In the rush to get the bill to the
House the committee had no time to
submit a report, but it is subject to
change, it was said, by Republican
caucus. Only a few changes were
made at the meeting Wednesday, the
most important being a turn about on
the question Of oil. After voting down
last week a proposal to tax crude Pc
troleum, the committee, at the eleventh
hour, put tax Of IS cents q barrel on
crude and 25 cents barrel on fuel oil.
The lumber schedule, as originally
drawn, was cut to pieces by the COM
mittee, which finally needed the ap-
peal Of Republicans to have finished
lumber kept on the free list. Shingles,
however. were taxed in the lumber
schedule, but many other items were
not.

points in which the two sections Of
Virginia were divergent and It was
for this reason that West Virginia
finally became a separate state.
The first white man who probably
penetrated the wilderness of this
Western region was John Laderer, q
German surgeon, who went on a tour
Of exploration in 1869. In the same
year, La Sale sailed up the Ohio and
landed at several points in the present
state. There was little colonization
until 1882, when Scotch and Irish adj
venturers began to all Western Viz
ginia. They were encouraged but lit
tie. and, in fact, the King in 1883 de-
clared that this part Of the colony was
Indian country and could not rightfully
be settled. Colonization continued,
however, and bitter warfare was waged
against the Indians and the French
who had come down from the North.
In 1774 the battle Of Pt. Pleasant was
fought, which was one Of the bloodiest
Of Indian conflicts.
The backwoodsmen who settled In
the Western part Of Virginia were .en-

great dissatisfaction at the way vir-

marked point OF disagreement. was
over the slavery question, and 1t was
because Of this that. when Virginia
seeded from the Union in 1861, West
Virginia took matters in It's own hands.
Delegates met at Wheeling, drew up q
separate constitution. and declared
their independence. Their application
for admission into the Union was ac-
cepted by Lincoln, and In 1863 West
Virginia became the thirty-fifth state.
