TEXAN LAUNCHES
ATTACK ON WATSON
OIL LAND ROW
Rep, Connolly Wants LegS-
Iation Backed by Indiana
Scion Repealed,
Times Washington Bureau,
1922 New York Ave.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2T.-Another
Indirect attack on Senator Watson Of
Indiana was launched here today by
representative Connolly of Texas.
'Onnelly announced he would intro
luce a bill in the House shortly to
peal legislation passed in the last
congress by which oil land contrO-
ersy along the Red River was placed
n the Jurisdiction OF the Department
If the Interior for settlement OF
rlaims.
Much of the oil land along the
river was claimed by the Burke Di-
vide Oil Company. composed to
great extent Of stockholders in Terre
Haute, Ind. The land also was
claimed by oil spectators in Texas
and out of the conflicting claims grew
a long and bitter fight.
Along Red River
The Red River. at the place in Ques-
ion, forms a boundary between Okla
homa and Texas. The oil prospectors
went in along the river and the Burke
Divide Company was first. Oklahoma
then claimed the land and so also did
Texas When oil developed. Texas
prospectors went in and Texas rang
ers were used 10 support their claims.
Litigation then got into the Supreme
Court and finally, when no settle
ment was reached, the Burke Divide
Company and Oklahoma citizens APP
pealed to Congress.
+ Representative Sanders of Terre
Haute sponsored the bill in the House
and Watson sponsored il in the Sen
ate. Representative of the Terre
Haute Company We're in constant at
tendance at the Investigations here.
Harding Signed Bill
The bill was finally passed and
signed by President Harding on the
last day for its signing.
Connolly now contends that the De
'oartment of Justice urged the Presi-
1ent to consider the legislation as I'M
favorable in that it disposed Of Gov
eminent property without warrant.
and II opposition to z. decision Of the
Supreme Court. He contends also the
pill was gotten through the House
and Senate with a bare quorum pres
ent in the House and Xith only a few
Senators voting.
Although Connolly is directing his
attack on Watson. it is known that
che fight is primarily between the
Texas prospectors and the Burke di-
vide corporation. Connolly is repre-
senting constituents Of his State in
his action.
So far as is developed at this time.
Watson had no more to do with the
egislatlon than had Oklahoma Sena-
tors and Congressman and certainly
no more to do with its passage than
bad Sanders
The legislation was reported favor
ably also by House and Senate com
mitteCs after a long hearing.

His thirty-fve years OF plotting an

THE greatest Joy is just liking your
work." he said.
do you greatly feel the respon-
sibility Of holding lives in your
hands?" he was asked.
Record Clear
You bet 1 do. People have conf
dence in engineers, too.
It's a horrid feeling, the one you
experience when you have a narrow
escape, or when you do kill some
body. These careless motorists make
your hair turn gray"
Beggs has a remarkable record. He
had only one serious accident. That
was marked on the Big Four's books
as unavoidable. Beggs began his
railroad career as a bridge white
washer for the Big Four. His run is
from Indianapolis to kankakee, Ill.
"Stop-LOok" Sign Good
The old cross bar at every rail
road crossing. 'Stop-Look-Listen is
the best advice 1 can give motorists, -
he said. Safety first is the greatest
thing in the world. 1 practiced 1t
long before there were organized cam
peigns."
Beggs is secretary-treasurer OF the
insurance department of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers. He
expects to attend to the business Of
his office and incidentally find some
thing else to do.
Il intend to be busy, but I don't
know just how yet" he declared.
