rels capacity.
This was supplemented by the con-
tract and lease of December IL, 1922,
and Transport Company and the Sec
retary of the Interior and the Secre-
tary of the Navy.
please bear in mind that in Naval
Reserve No. 2, California, prior to
March 4, 1921, the Democratic aGmin-
tary Daniels, had leased fifty-eight
producing wells in various parts of
the reserve. More than this, with
the written approval of Secretary
Daniels, dated August 21, 1920, and
subsequently approved by Secretary
ton-Pacific Oil Company was per-
mitted to put down five new wells on
Reserve No. 2, at a royalty of Is per
cent.
Royalties Paid In Cash.
''All of these royalties were taken in
cash and paid into the Treasury and
aided in no way in affording or con-
serving a supply Of fuel oil for the
Navy. Meanwhile, the hundreds of
oil wells upon private lands within
and adjoining the reserve were drain
ing the oil from under the govern
ment's lands, the total number of
these wells, as stated by the bureau
of mines, March 4, 1921, being 785.
Adjacent to the Teapot reserve in
Wyoming were a large number of
wells In the Salt Creek field, and that
they were draining Teapot is shown
by the fact that after Sinclair began
drilling in the Teapot reserve the
production from the adjoining lands
in Salt Creek fell off 1000 barrels per
day.
Under the policy of the succeeding
administration, wherever it was found
necessary to drill the reserves to pre-
vent drainage from private lands the
royalties were taken in oil instead of
in cash and exchanged for fuel oil in
tanks, where it could be conserved
and held for the use of the United
States Navy. Therefore the policy of
this administration is one of conser-
walton, with the additional advantage
that the oil is in such location and
form that it can be made imm ediately
available to our ships in case of emer-
gency.
THE highest royalty secured by the
Wilson administration under any laws
was 25 per cent, while the royalties
secured by the succeeding administra-
ton ranged from maximums of % to
II per cent, most OF them being from
35 to 50 per cent"

SLAYER'S FIANCEE
FREED FROM PRISON
Gussie Human, Who Committed
Perjury to Save Suitor, Became
Mother in Cell.
Ry the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, April 19.-The seven
to fifteen years prison sentence i'm
posed upon Gussie Human in Queens
county two years ago for perjury was
commuted by Gov. Smith yesterday, to
expire at once. She is twenty-five o
years old.
This woman" the governor said in
a memorandum. Committed a serious
crime, but taking into considera ton
the surrounding facts and circum-
stances and especially the fact that
she has a child born while she was
confined in prison and the child is
being taken care of by her father, l
have reached the conclusion that no
good purpose would be served by
keeping her confined any longer.
The young woman, the records
show, gave false testimony at the
trial of Joseph Lebasci, charged with
murder in Queens county. Lebasci
was the father of her unborn child
and her perjureA testimony, given in
an attempt to exonerate him and per-
nit of her own marriage, constituted
the offense for which she was sent to
prison. Lebasci is now serving a
twenty-year sentence for murder in
the second degree"

The commission is meeting today to
pass on the general design and loca-

YORK. England. April 19.-Prime
Minister Macdonald, addressing a
crowded labor meeting in the Theater
Royal today, declared the Anglo-Ru
sian conference in London had started
well and he believed it would succeed.
The audience gave the premier a
tremendous ovation when he appeared
with his daughter Ishbel. Before the
meeting a portion of the crowd sang
The Red Flag"
Turning to the experts report on
reparations, the premier declared he
would be glad to find the entire coun-
try back of him in his view that the
report ought to be taken as a whole.
There were things in ii he did not
like and things in il he did like, but
IL he began to raise this detail and
that detail France. Belgium and Ger
many would do the same and they
would be exactly where they started.
Even IL they had an agreement, in
those circumstances they would never
get good will behind the agreement

that is done, go on and finish the Job

of a third-party presidential candi-
dacy. Wisconsin will place his name
in nomination at the republican ma
tional convention and keep it there,

edly prevent Cleveland from making
Calvin Coolidge the conventions

prediction can safely be made-there
is not likely to be any Kissing on the
shores of Lake Erie when the Badger

for Robert NJ. La Toilette" When
that functionary announced that die
tum nine times in succession at Chi
cago in 1920 there were nine sue
cessive and rising tides of kissing.
1t will not be the business of the

reason which was not a tithe so po-

By Their Fruits.

Family trees are funny; time was
when they were tended and pruned. all
dead timber being carefully cut out,
but now bare limbs are a common
sight on even some of our oldest and
best family trees.
Some of them produce a lot of peaches,
and the same branch may also bear
nuts. Many blossoms are found nes-
Ting in the leafy branches. and per-
chance a few withered wallf1owers are
found tucked away in sundry hooks.
Lemons are common on some of the
trees; prunes and ounces also abound
Some of this fruit is easy picking, and
some of ii has to be pretty well shaken
before il will fall.
You will find many little love nests
tucked away in the branches of the
old family tree and also some pretty
queer birds.
But, everything considered, the family
tree is pretty good tree, and it is
quite a calamity to fall out of 1t.
