To Disorganized Navy
Admiral Tells Pennsylvania So
ciety of Confusion in De.
partment During Conflict

Rear Admiral William S. Sims spoke
on "The United States Navy" last night
at the twenty-third annual dinner Of
the Pennsylvania Society in the Wal
dorf Astoria. Charles M. Schwab was
presented with the society's gold medal
at the dinner
Admiral Sims reviewed the opera
tions of the navy during the war and
declared that the losses in shipping
were largely due to the fact that the
organization Of the navy was not such
as to enable it to carry on war success
fully. He said that great confusion
existed in the Navy Department at
Washington during the war.
No Roadway was made in Investigate
ing the conduct of the Navy Depart
ment during the war, he said, because
the interest of the people was not suf-
fciently aroused.
The medal presented to Mr.. Schwab
was founded in 1903 by group of
ciety's tenth anniversary. The silver
French medal of Reconnaissance
Franchise" was conferred last night
upon Mrs. Mary Byers Hatfield, who
has been for three years president of

sentative Moore, of Virginia, Democrat,
would have affected Judge Lands. of

publican, made the point of order, con-
tending it was not germans to the

cision of Representative Stafford, of
Wisconsin, Republican, who was pre-
siding, but the House by vote of SO
to 81, sustained the ruling.
Creation o the judgeships was ad-
vocated by Chief Justice Taft, Attor-
ney General Daugherty and a group
OF Federal judges and district attor-
neys, which made a survey to deter
mine the causes and extent OF docket
congestion in various districts and the
means Of expediting the handling of
cases.
Under the bill the new judges would
be allotted to districts as follows
MASSACHUSETTS,, two; southern New
York, two; and one each to eastern

W atson Offers 100
Alleged Witnesses
OF Army Cruelties
Reads Extracts From Letters
oF Soldiers, Who Assert
They Saw Illegal Execu-
lions; One Charges 600

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1o.-The names
of more than 100 former service men
were presented to-day to a Senate COM
mittee by Senator Watson, Democrat,
of Georgia, who asked that they be
brought here to testify in the investi-
cation of his charges that American
soldiers had been put to death in
France without trial by court martial.
There was no intimat!on as to how
many on the list would be summoned,
the committee explaining that it would
sift the names next week. Assurance.
however, was given Senator Watson
that every person would be called if he
believed they were prepared to give
testimony directly bearing on the
charges.
Senator Watson read extracts from
many letters in which soldiers de-
clared they knew of numbers Of illegal
executions. One soldier wrote that on
transport taking him to France four-
teen men were thrown overheard and
drowned for no apparent reason.
Shows Photograph of Gallows
The Georgia Senator said he would
prove that the War Department list of
eleven executions did not include all
of the men illegally hanged or shot to
death by order Of superior officers. A
picture Of what seemed to be a gallows
in France, on which q rope was being
hooked around the neck Of a condemned
soldier, with several officers standing
on the platform and scores on the
ground below, was given to the COM
mittee by the Senator, who testif ed
that it was taken by colonel, now in
the service
After presentation Of letter from
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of the
Navy Department denying he had first
hand knowledge of the killing Of a
soldier by an officer and the subse-
quent transfer of the officer to another
command, Senator Watson explained
that use of Mr.. Roosevelt's name was
due to a blunder. The letter, in fact,
he said, was written by Colonel Will
liam Hayward, United States District
Attorney of New York, and former
officer overseas.
Many Executions Charged
The commander of Legion post at
Westville, Okla, the Senator said, had
sent hin, the name of man ready to
testify that twenty-one Americans
were executed in France without trial.
Another soldier wrote that more than
500 had been killed illegally in France.
"Did these men tell you why the SOL
diers were 2" Senator Brandegee
asked
"In each case of ruthless killing,
the Senator replied, at was stated that
men were shot down because they
were tagged and unable to walk"
Mr.. Brandegee suggested that SOL
dier could be shot without trial TO,
desertion in the face of the enemy
and Colonel Bethel said there was nc
written law for the battlefield, that
the rules Of the battlefield required
summary action.

THE TICK ERADICATION
LEAGUE

In previous articles the League
emphasized the Importance of the
farmers at each vat organizing to
promote their interests. BY or
ganizing and having a committee
to represent them, all the troubles
that have vexed us in the past can
be met and dealt with success
fully. A letter before me saying,
"the vat at our place is to filthy
to put cattle in" another saying,
''the inspector wanted me to drive
my cattle into the vat when it was
frozen over with ice another say
ing "the inspector doesn't know a
-cattle tick from a lone star tick"
and so on for pages. A committee
of citizens is the remedy.
This League has had confer
.ences with U. S. and State author

year their inspector will cooper

the fullest. In addition to this, the
League will be active in helping
to solve difficulty. We believe the

OLD SCHOOL HOUSE
BEING DESMENTLED

Workmen began Monday morn
gin tearing down the old Welsh
High School, and the diSmanteling
Wlll>be rushed to completion.
The building was completed in
1904 and at that time was a source
of community pride, considered
ample for the educational needs
of the community for an indeter-
inmate period. 1t is yet in a good
state of preservation, though in
adequate, and, beside the big new
S175,OO0.00 stately structure has
the appearance of a miniature mo-
del. A comparison of the two
building presents true picture of
progress, and the past seventeen
years have seen progress at a high
ebb.
Speaking of the opening of the
first term of school in the old
building, the Rice Belt Journal of
Oct, 18th, 1904, says:
with a magnificent new and
spacious building and accouter-
ments, new principal and scores
of pupils eager to begin the work
that prepares them to cope with
life'S many obstacles, the Welsh
public school opened Monday
morning, after preliminary talks
appropriate TO the occasion"
The faculty was composed of
ID. R. Read, principal; Miss Cora
j. Miller, assistant; Mrs. D. R.
Read, third grade; Miss Lenore
Anderson, second grade; and Miss
Nettie Shaw, primary.
The initial enrolment at the
beginning of the 1904 session was
1876.

GULF REFINING COMPANY
ABOUT READY To DRILL
Drilling Machinery Has Arrived
And is Being Set Up.

The Gulf Refining Company is
about ready to begin drilling at
its location north and east of the
Welsh Oil field. The exact Ioca-
ton of the derrick is 800 feet west
of the central point in the SW
quarter of section $3.50.
The derrick was completed
Tuesday of this week and Thurs
day the big drilling rig was being
hauled out. Three cars of pipe for
this well have already been un-
loaded on The siding in Welsh.
1t is expected that actual drill
ing operations will begin on the
Gulf well not later than March, 10,
This will make three wells
drilling in close proximity of
Welsh, leading an observer to the
belief that the oil boom is already
upon us.
The Humble Oil Company is re-
ported TO be securing leases close
by, as is also the Amerado, a COM
pany having large interests both
in the United States and Canada.
Besides these there are a number
of others looking in.

DRILLING RESUMED
ON THE TODD WELL
Officials of Company Express
Confidence In The Outcome

Drilling was resumed Monday
on The Todd No. 2 well, and is
progressing steadily. The drill at
l,425 feet was working in a very
hard formation. This well was
begun about a year ago by the
Welsh Oil Corporation, an indie
pendent concern, in which local
investors were interested. The
we'll rig and leases covering about
2200 acres were recently taken
over by The Interstate Oil & Min
eraI Development Co. They have
contracted 10 complete the present
we'll and drill at least one more to
a minimum depth of 5000 feet.
\ considerable gas pressure has
been encountered so far in the
web, requiring heavy mud to
check.
c. c. KimbalI is in charge of
The drilling.

without his permission, trusting
that he will not be offended;
Sorry to hear" he says that
the rice industry is so hard hit.
Even at that it doesn't seem to
help us up here any, as we are
paying nine cents per pound re-
tail for clean rice. That's nearly
as bad as corn. | note that ware

charge ten cents per spool for
