Oil Showing Improves.

The oil showing late last night was better than it was yesterday afternoon. when party of Little Rock men look ed at it and were so impressed that they bought a lease on the spot. Last night Shannon Taylor, who has drilled in Russia and India. Canada and Mex ico. and nearly all the states. stopped the bailer at the mouth of the ashg. called n member of the crew to hold an electric light over it and pointed out to us the heavy scum of oil on top of the water At another time when Tay Tor emptied the bailer he exclaimed: "Go out there now and you'll see some oil.9
 We rushed out in the dark to the ditch and with the aid of flashlights with oil. Bubbles, rainbows and scum were in evidence everywhere. The bailer had been sent to the bottom and the showing was better than any during the day.
 Taylor is one of the most optimistic men on the job. He has been boosting the project from the beginning and local men say he has been certain Of oil all along The oil he brought up yesterday at nearly every trip of the bailer could not have been oil from the easing.
 It would hardly be within he bounds of reason to say there is an oil well in White county. and so far as l know. no one has ever said there is one. But hundreds of people saw the oil showing and were impressed by it. Moreover, business men who visited the well were loud in their praise of the nerve and enterprise of the men who are trying to bring another oil field to Arkansas at great financial sacrifice, and were more than willing to offer them every encouragement. It was just such far seeing adventures, men of vision and daring. who brought an oil field to Un ion county and they had to contend with the same knocking" on the part of individuals and newspapers unwill ing to lend encouragement to great enterprise.

Review of Case.

When the report was reached on the house calendar today brief review Of the charges against the governor as contained in the investigations com mittee recommendations was made by R. w. Matthews of McAlester, chair man of the committee.
 lie said that the governor had at tempted to intimidate members of the legislature in the discharge of their duty that he had excessive amounts of money, the source of which was not explained that he had misused his pardoning power; had sworn to a mis statement in an attempt to evade pay ment of income tax, and that he had violated the statutes of the state in handling the funds of the tSate High way Department.
 1t was charged that the governor, Matthews said, had obtained the "ex- eessiye amounts of money" spoken of in the report through political favors, un- lawfully given.
 One specific charge was that when an okmulgee, Okla, state bank was in oanger of closing it's doors because of iAck Of funds, the state bapk commis-

 DRILLING IN WHITE COUNTY
ENCOURAGED BY THE SHOWING AT THE 1,871-
 FOOT LEVEL.
(By Fletcher Chenault, in Arkansas
 Gazette.)

Gazette.)
 Judsonia. April 1.-Encouraged by the splendid showing of oil at the ,S71- foot level yesterday. the Louisiana Oil Refining Corporations drillers tdoay immediately began drilling deeper into the structure The oil that came from the we'll yesterday with every load of water in the bailer, leads to the con clusion that the pool might be lying 100 or POO feet deeper and that the showngs of oil are being forced by gas pressure up through the rock. It is in hope of striking this pool that the walk ing beam on the standard rig began working up and down again at mid night
 Operations were delayed this morn ing by broken cable. splicing of which required nearly all day This cable contains 96 strands of wire and usual ly is equal to the load that is demanded of it.
 Local people are partly amused today and partly incensed by report publish ed in Little Rock saying that it was April Fool Day and there was no oil showing at the we'll. They are wonder ing how any intelligent person could hope to seen an oil showing today while the driller and his crew were splicing a cable and the bailer was sus- pended firm it's bully and not even in operation Of course, it possible for the oil to jump suddenly out of the casing and go tearing through the cot ton field before heavy gas pressure. but such mira cles do not occur often in the oil fields

MOROCCAN EMPIRE
IS IDEA OF LEADERS
fRx Associated Pressl

MELILLA, Sept q Abd-El-Krin.
leader of the Moorish insurgents, has
conceived the idea of forming a new
Moroccan empire, which would extend
further than most of the old Moroccan
possessions.
The correspondent has obtained de-
tails of Add El-Krin's plans from nat
i've sources.
These are to the effect that he has
sent emissaries to all districts for the
organization of the forces with which
he intends to establish the bases OF
the empire he desires to create. He
demands that all prisoners be placed
in his charge and that the entire stock
of arms should be put at his disposal.
Abd-El-Krin has begun TO issue
paper money in various denomina-
lions, bearing his stamp and sigma
ture. His far reaching plan of domin-
ion, however, is meeting with oppo-
sition from the powerful Moroccan
tribes.
This state of affairs accounts for
the recent tranquility of the Moors
and the discord appears to be increas.
