Casper Wyo.. Dec. 3.-Patrick Sui
Iivan. republican national committee

John T. Bottom, of Denver, his attor-
ney, against the Mammoth Oil com

ton 3-3S MS ", or 900 acres in the
heart of Teapot dome and near the
very center of the 5000 acres included
in the lease from the United States
to the Mammoth Oil company.
The plaintiff claims that the Pioneer
company wrongfully represented that it
had possessory title 10 the lands claim
ed by Mr.. Sullivan and that the Pio-

into q conpiracy with the Mammoth
OH company to OBTAIN lease TO the
lands comprising the naval reserve
without having to enter INTO competl-

STATE DEATH RATE
FROM TUBERCULOSIS

Support of Montana Associa-
tion Urged in a
Statement

Helena. Dec. 3,-(By The Associat-
ri Press. Montana's yearly death
rate from tuberculosis has dropped
from 11S to - per 100000 of popula-
tion in the seven years since the os.
ganization of the Montana Tubere6p
loSis association, according TO an ia
dorsement of the annual seal sale OF
the association, now III progress. ln

ernor Dixon said:
In 1915, the year in which the Mon
tana tuberculosis association was or
ganized, the death rate from tuber-
'culosis was 11s.S Since that time.
through the work of the association.
and that of other agencies. it has been
slowly declining, SO that in 1921 the
rate in Montana was SOL to 100000
population.
Montana has accomplished much
but there is still much work to be dene
if the state would have as low rate
as the surrounding states. While Mon
tana's rate is now 59.1, that of Idaho
is $50; Wyoming. 372: Utah, 39.3:
South Dakota, 4o.S, while North Da-
kota has the lowest tuberculosis death
rate of any state in the union, with
233.4 deaths per 100000 in 1921.
Inc nlgheSI rate In the union ~
in New Mexico. where there ara 210.T
deaths per 100000 from tuberculosis
The average death rate in the United
States is Oil Montana has the tenth
lowest rate of any of the states. but
has Il higher rate than any of the ad-
joining states Besides the adjoining
States, these with a smaller rate than
Montana's are: Iowa. with o7.a
deaths per 100000; Kansas, with 45.T;
Nebraska with 1868: Oklahoma with
50.3. and West Virginia, with 4S.a.
Montana is a growing state and her
citizens for the greater part, are
young men and women who have been
attracted 10 the west by the fascin-
alton OF q new country. This is an
other reason why the work of the
Montana tuberculosis association
should receive the whole hearted sep
port of the people of the state. The
majority of deaths from tuberculosis
occur between the ages of Is and Is j
and these are the ages of majority
of Montana's citizens. The 1922 seal
sale of this association deserves, and
trust it may receive. the heartiest re-
spense possible On the part OF our,
people.

1000 APPOINTMENTS
Up To SENATE; LAST
SESSION DRAWS NEAR
Presid dential Selections for
Postoffice and Army to
Be Ratified

Washington, Dec 3.-Contirmation
of upwards of a thousand presidential
nominations will be the task of the
senate meeting Monday at 10 o'clock
in the final sitting of the extra session.
Unlike the house, which has no spe
cial business before it. the senate is
expected to work until close to ~
o'clock before adjournment sine die.
The regular session will begin at
noon.
Probably the only business trans
acted in either the house or senate
at the initial meeting will be the
routine appointment OF a joint com
mittee to go to the White House to
notify the president that the last ses
sion of the sixty seventh congress has
convened and that his message is
awaited.
Foremost of the nomination to be
taken up is that of Pierce Butler, of
Minnesota, to be an associate justice
Of the supreme court. succeeding
William r. Day. Some opposition to
the confirmation Of Mr.. Butler has
been expressed.
Hundreds of other nominations, in
Guiding large number of postmasters
and army promotions, are expected to
be approved BY the. senate without
opposition.
Republican leaders had planned to
have the shipping bill, passed last
week by the house, reported TO the
senate Monday, but the democratic
filibuster prevented reference TO the
legislation TO committee.
1t is expected to be reported Tues
day and leaders plan to take it up
Wednesday.
Outside of whatever nominations are
confirmed, the accomplishments of the
senate at the extra session are few.
The only legislation was n bill to
prohibit illegal sale, manufacture and
wear of military decorations and
measure to allow Associate Justice
Pitney to retire from the supreme

on the League Of Nations as he sped
east to Baltimore from S. Louis, where
Saturday he delivered the fifth Of his

fairs.
Concerned because some newspapers
he SAW interpreted his st. Louis ad-
dress as a plea to America to enter
the League of Nations, he declared he
had not intended to advocate such
step.
Ii is we'll known, at least in France,
he told correspondents, that he was
not an advocate Of the league, and ne
said he would not urge the United
States to enter it.
He indicated that what he really
would prefer above all else was an
agreement of the United States and
Great Britain to guarantee France
against aggression.
Pleased With Midwest
Clemenceau made joyful tour back
from the middle west elated by the

sociated Press Sunday that they
would resist any attempt to place TGr-
key on, lower international standing
than smaller and less important
states, ike Greece and Mexico: they
would insist on complete administrative
independence, DR.. Ria said:
We hear that the powers. including
me l nlted States, are thinking of sub
stltuting juridical guarantees for the
hateful expression 'capitulations.
Insofar as foreign tribunals are
concerned this will not do; it means
the same thing under different
name. And we object to a transitory
period, whereby Turkey would be sup
posed gradually to emancipate herself
from the ancient regime of capitula-
lions: We want complete freedom
now"
The leading European powers have
received important help from Japan
IN their struggle to keep the foreign
courts in Turkey. Japan herself SUI
fered the same humiliation as Turkey
and sympathizes with the Turkish at
titude.
The Turks argue that complete ad-
minlstration sovereignty is perhaps the
most solemn article of the new Otto
man national pact. A prominent Turk
said:
Invited TO Stay Out.
If Americans and other foreigners
do not like to be under the authority
OF our Turkish courts. then let them
stay away from Turkey. If a Turk
were arrested in New York, he would
be tried before an American
court and not murmur The same sit
uation should exist in Turkey.
The Turkish position is weakene ed
by the fact that complete unity of
front by the great powers has been
erected against the Turks on this prob
lem However. Russia is expected TO
side with her ally, Turkey.
Another capitulation difficulty lies
IN fixing the ustoms tariff. The
powers will not permit Turkey TO in
crease her tariff from IL to Is per
cent. but the Ottoman wants complete
freedom to make its own tariff sehed-
ule. The present schedule is prar-
ticaIly prohibitiye for the great bulk
If British and French goods. It re
mains to be seen whether the threat
OF the foreign powers to expend no
capital in Turkey will induce the
Turks TO change their recalcitrant at
titude.

The cases of ammunition. the re-
port stated. were carried by specific
permission under rulings of the de-
partment of commerce, in force since
1911.
The Malone report, the newspaper
says. was made TO Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo. II was dated
June 4. 1915, and was called for after
the German reply of May Is to
President Wilson's first Lusitania note
of May 49, had SET up the contention
that the Lusitania had been armed and
that her rapid sinking was due, not TO
the torpedo. but to the explosion of
ammunition. It was this report to
which President Wilson, in his second
note of June g. referred when he
said:
Fortunately. there are matters
concerning which the government of
the United States is in q position TO

official information,
Begged For Details
Mr.. Malone said he had determined
to give out the text of the report
because of still insistent appeals TO
him for information regarding its con-
tents.
The appeals" he explained, come
not only from the United States but
from abroad; for instance, from such
organizations as the central committee
for establishing the cause of the war.
When Senator LaFollette's attitude
toward the war was under lnveStga-
tion. the treasury department was
called on for the original of this re-
port. j replied that it had been turned
over to the state department. The
state department held that the report
had become state paper and there

cause of the constant appeals to me
