FIGHTS BETWEEN
BIG INTERESTS
AND LITTLE ONES
Limitation Of Leases in Ok
lahoma Demonstrated the
Wisdom Of Such Policy;
Sufficient Capital Outside
to Develop Land, Is Said.

| WASHINGTON. - A petition to the
government protesting against the leas.
ing of naval oil reserves, received from
the national association Of oil produc-
ers was read in the senate Saturday by
Senator LaFollette, republican, Wis
consin. whose resolution for an inves-
tigation of the leases recently was
adopted.
The petition declared that the 'de.
livery of the naval reserves to the STAN
dard OIL Sinclair. Dehoney interests,
constitutes a return to the "era Of land
grabbing and carpet bagging whose
hydro-head Of iniquity was crushed by
the policy of President Roosevelt al
most n decade ago"
w. II. Greay, president of the indie
pendent producers of Tulsa, Okla,
signed the petition and advised Senator
LaFollette that the association had au-
thoriZed committee Of oil experts to
assist in the forthcoming senate inves-
tigation. The petition, 1t was said, was
drafted at a recent melting at Tulsa
of the associations directors.
Protests Against Officials.
Protests were made in the petition
against the policy of Secretary of the
Interior and the Secretary of the Navy
''in opening the naval reserves at this
time for exploitation, and especially
against the least given the Sinclair in.
terests in the Tea Pot Dome, Wyom-
ing district The petition urges also
against any policy (which would tend
to perpetuate a monopolistic control of
the oil industry"
"There exists no emergency or neces-
sity which would warrant the opening
| Of the naval reserves, there being al
ready above ground and In storage the
greatest amount of oil that has been
in storage in the history of all times. :"
the petition continued.
Deprcsses Crude Price.
"The turning over Of government
lands to large pipe line interests for
exploitation will have the direct re.
suit of depressing the price of crude
oil without In any way relieving the
possibility of the burdensome high
prices of refined products.
I'VE ask that the committee inves'
tigate the contracts referred to with a
view to determining whether or not
they tend to perpetuate a monopolistic
control of the oil industry and whether
or not they tend to violate the spirit
of the antitrust laws of this country
and whether or not the effect will be to
create n monopoly of the oil trade with
the navy"
The petition declared that the depart
ment OF the interior was pursuing one
policy in limiting developments Of In
dian oil lands of Oklahoma and anothei
in reference to the naval reserves.
The limitation upon the leases In
oklahoma, the petition said had demon
strated wisdom of such n policy and
also that there was sufficient capital
outside of the large oil concerns to de-
velop the lands.

K. of C.. Extends
Evening Schools
Two in District Give Wide
Choice in Trade and
Academic Courses.

At the beginning of the fourth
year of their existence, the Knights
of Columbus Evening schools are
distributed throughout more than
roo OF the principal cities Of the
United States and give instruction
in a variety OF subjects, ranging
from philosophy to plumbing and
from law to free hand drawing
These schools were designed orig
inally for former service men and
instruction is still given free to
veterans of the world war.
From the beginning, however,
others than former service men
have sought the advantages of the
X. of G. Evening schools and in all
of these schools there is now a
growing number of non service men
and women. who pay a moderate
tuition fee for the instruction.
In Washington there have been
two distinct Knights OF Columbus
Evening schools from the begin
ming. One of these, located at 600
C street. specializes in the. trade
courses. such as auto mechanics
and radio. while the other. some
times called the Council School at
1911 MASSACHUSETTS, avenue n
branch at 1904 + street northwest.
has devoted itself to the academic
and business branches. Since the
beginning the Council School has
made an excellent reputation for it.
self in the lines OF accountancy and
stenography. Beginning last year,
a regular four years high school
course was introduced. which met
with success.
This year the knights OF Column
bus have organized Columbus Uni
versity which is being conducted in
connection with the evening school
and Is preparing to grant academic
and law degrees. The undergrad
uate law course covers a period of
three years and leads to the de-
gree of LII. II. During the present
year, students who have completed
a regular four years high school
course or its equivalent will be ad-
mitted to the freshman class of the
law school. 1t Is planned to add
a ost-graduate course, leading to
the degree LII. NJ.
The academic course. leading to
the degree of bachelor of arts. is
q four years course. Like the law
course II Is open to high school
graduates.
The law and accounting courses
are to be given at the 1904 F street
branch OF the school. while most of
the academic classes will be held
at 1911 Massachusetts, avenue.
The high character of the instruc-
tion which has prevailed during the
past three years is to be continued
and extended to the new depart
ments.
An interesting feature in the de-
velopment in the Knights Of Column
bus Evening School has been the
increasing number of young women
who have enrolled during the past
three years. At first the number
was small, owing to the belief that
prevailed for a time that the school
was intended only for former serv-
ice men. With the dissipation of
that belief the number of women
registrants has experienced a great
increase, so that now, in some
classes. the women predominant in
numbers.

Art Students Lead,
Will II. ChandIee SAYS

II has often been said, states
Will Fl. Chandlee, director OF the
Washington School Of Art, that
artists. like poets, are born, not
made: but this is not always the
case. II is a fact that many per-
sons are naturally endowed with
unusual artistic ability which
makes II possible for them to draw
with less difficulty than those
with less natural talent. but 1t is
often the case that the student
who shows evidences of the least
natural talent at the beginning
will outstrip those more literally
endowed by nature, and by the
time his lessons are completed will
find himself far In the lead. II is
safe to say that anyone can learn
to draw: desire to learn and COM
petent instruction alone are neces-
sary.
There are many clever young
people today whose names are as
yet unknown. who are earning from
f25 10 SIS per week as commercial
illustrators and designers, and It
is from their ranks that many Of
the future famous illustrators win
como.
Our school is designed to give

to tho making Of Newspaper

lions but TO teach those facts

make a practical success OF your
work, you must first know what
kind OF drawings are required, and
second, you must know how such
drawings are to be made.
It is understood that each pupil
wishes TO learn, not only to draw
but how to utilize his acquired
knowledge Of drawing to his own
best advantage, 1t appears evil
dent, therefore, that in seeking In
struction you should apply to one
who has not only been successful
himself, but who numbers among
Ms pupi1s those who have been
equally successful
