GOVERNMENTS
NEW OILPOLICY
CAUSES FIGHT
Conservation Issue in Senate
Revives Old-Time
Struggle.

WASHINGTON. April I9.-Another
great conservation" fight recalling the
BaIlinger Pinchot controversy Of the Taft
Administration looms as the result Of the
action Of Secretary Fall and se'retary
DENLY in opening up naval oil reserves
in Wyoming and California 10 private
interests Secretary Fall, admittedly has
won his first real victory in his plan 10
open up vast national resources 10 private
Development through the signing Of con
tn cts with the Mammoth Oil Company
OF Delaware. a Sinclair concern. for tax
Ing oil from the Teapot Dome. Wyoming
naval reserve and with the Pan American
Petroleum Company for the California re-
serves.
But in Congress and among the conser-
vationist forces, O storm is brewing. The
Senate had passed a resolution Of senator
Kendrick Of Wyoming, asking complete
Information regarding the contracts.
When this is given the storm is expected
to break
1t will also involve the policy OF Sec
rotary Fall for the development Of Alas
ka and the dispute now raging between
Secretary Fail and Secretary Wallace OF
the Department OF Agriculture, over the
proposed transfer Of the forestry bureau
from the Agriculture to the Interior De-
partment.
The oil controversy. involving a huge
amount of the product which admittedly
will play 4 most vital part In the ma
tional defense because Of the large mum
Der of burning battleships, centers
around whether oil under the ground
can be conserved. or whether a Govern
ment pool can be tapped hy private
wells, just outside the Government land.
Relieving oil could thus be conserved
the Taft and Wilson Administrations
closed most Of the oil reserves The Fall
DENLY action indicates the present Ad-
ministration favors opening them, making
contracts such as the ones just signed un-
der which the Government will get as
high as so per cent Of the oil taken out
and then store 1t at strategic points for
use by the feet In emergency.
But the conservationist forces insist
the oil should be left in the ground, or
taken out by the Government, so that It
/ would get all Of the oil.
The present plan of the Navy is to
build huge tanks for storing the oil.
Three OF these for instance probably will
be along the Pacific coast. Another large
one probably will be near Norfolk, Va.
Naval officers also went to build a
huge shell-proof oil reservoir in Hawaii.

NEW OFFERS
REASON FOR
CONFIDENCE
Improved Position of Farmers
Basis of All Pros
q perity.

An improved position Of farmers. the
basis of prosperity for all classes, making
for a gradual betterment of economic
conditions, was offered by Senator Harry
S. New as a reason for confidence in the
National Administration. in his speech to
members and guests of the Kiwanis Club
In the Riley room Of the Claypool Hotel
today.
No denial was made Of the fact that
the country has suffered a period Of Sc
we're depression, perhaps unequalled in
its history, BY Senator New.
$50 far as the country was concerned.
it was up to the Government TO point
the way out, through administrative
recommendations and legislative acts"
Senator New said. "One fact was ap
parent that the country was staggering
under a debt Of about twenty four
billions Of dollars. The money has been
spent, the debt created. not by the pres
cnt Congress, but by preceding ones. 1t
profits nothing now to say that perhaps
part Of it was injudiciously created, not
by this Congress. but by the preceding
ones. and I certainly do not tax any one
with that folly"
Unpopularity Of the revenue bill was
admitted by Senator New. he said,
NO revenue bill was ever popular and
none ever will be. But after all has
been said, it is none the less true that
it has reduced the public burden, by
over eight hundred million dollars
year. A policy of retrenchment was
agreed upon and savings introduced
which amount to four million dollars
day"
The task confronting the Congress in
framing tariff Legislation was character
ICED by Senator New as being a great
one. The tariff will be passed, he said,
in q short time and 1t will "be q Repub-
lican tariff"
Answers to criticisms Of Congress
formed a prominent part OF Senator
News address. He said: There has been
complaint that Congress has not yet
passed the tariff bill. I will admit il
has been q slow process, but it had
better be slow. and reasonably right,
than 20 be made in haste and utterly
wrong"

4 PRISONERS
ESCAPE FROM
GUARD AT POST
Alleged Deserters Strike Pri
vate, Who Had Taken
Them to Labor.

A net of military and civil police has
been spread around the north esat sec
ton Of the city and over all roads lead
ing from Ft. Benjamin Harrison to In
diana polls in an effort to apprehend four
fugitives, who. while awaiting trial for
desertion. escaped from their guard yes
terday after having beat him into In
sensibility. None Of the four has been
captured 1t is understood the escape
came after one of the four attracted
the guards attention. AS the guard
turned. he was struck from behind and
beaten into inconsistencies. He did not
recover until three hours after he was
taken to the post hospital.
The superstition at the fort IS that the
fugitives separated and went in two
parties in opposite directions. At about
5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon some one
fred one shot at Lieut.. Carter NJ. Kolb,
post adjutant, as he was passing throug h
wood The shot narrowly missed
Lieutenant Kolb. who said that 1t fol-
lowed an exclamation from someone in
hiding A search of the woods immedi-
ately afterward revealed foot prints In
a clump Of bushes, from which the shot
came No furt her trace Of the shooter
was found.
The prisoners. Charles Henderson. Gay
lord Pattoroff, Robert Allen and Robert
Rigging, had been taken TO work on q
post road. The guard was Private -
Taboisky, Company H, 18th Infantry.
Consideration is given the theory that
an allay of the four robbed the post store
house a few days ago, stealing eight
regulation Army reyolyers.
All automobiles coming into the city
from the direction of the fort were
stopped by the soldiers. Military police
were sent to the city to cooperate with
the civil authorities in the attempted APP
prehension of the escaped prisoners.
