Il went to Denby and ured that
land be not transferred to the inter

He said my advice was too late
because the transfer had been
agreed to by the President, Secretary
DENLY and Secretary Fall. "
The stipulation then related how
Roosevelt was successful in having
a provision inserted in the order
stating that 'no general policy as
to drilling or reserving lands To-
Gated in naval reserves shall be
changed or adopted except upon con-
sultation and in cooperation with
the secretary or acting secretary of
the navy
Roosevelt did, however, approve
of the policy of exchanging oil in
reserves for oil in storage at points
where it is available for use by the
navy in any emergency, the stipu
latiOn continued.

ing drained from the reserves and l

value and said that l though that
those i'll charge were correct in tho
plan they had adopted in arranging
to have the oil taken out and con
above the ground. -

VERlTABLE LANDSLIDE FOR &. Q. P,
Coolidge GiUen
379 Votes When
Only266 Needed
By ROBERT J. BENDER

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Cool-
idge 379, Davis 139, 1t Toilette
13.
With the possible exception
. of q switch Of New Mexico's
three votes from Davis to Cool
idge, this will be the standing
of the presidential candidates in
the electoral college when final
tabulaticns are in.
In New Mexico, where the count
always is slow, the Democrats wag-
cd a strong fight against "Fall
rule - and the stigma imposed upon
the former secretary of the interior
by the oil scandal was expected on
the face of ealy returns to beat
President Coolidge in this state.
Or the other doubtful common
wealths, Missouri turned definitely
into the Coolidge column today after
wavering throughout the night and
i'll Montana where Senator La Fol
lettc was making u strong bid for
electoral votes, the days tabuia-
tions showed steadily increasing
margins for President Coolidge.
With the presidency settled, chief
interest centered in the complexion
Of the next congress. The house is
assuredly safely in Coolidge S hands
with material Republican gains,
three of them in Davis ohme state
of West Virginia.
The senate, however, is still i'll
doubt.
Senator La Toilette had such a
lead IN Wisconsin on the basis of
convincing returns early today that
his home states Is electoral votes
seemed to be safely his. There re-
manned IN doubt Missouri, Montana,
Nevada and New Mexico-a total of
% electoral votes, all of which .ap-
pearod likely to go into the Cool /
idge column.
Great as were Coolidgc's plurali- |
ties, however, he was unable to pre-
vent the victory of two popular Dem
