Rights in Red River,
By Times Special

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, July 15.-Claims
of the Burke Divide Oil Company
of Terre Haute to rights in the Red
River oil section on the border be-
tween Texas and Oklahoma were up
held today in ruling rendered by
Secretary of the Interior Work
These claims are known as Belle
Isle. Judsonia and Mary Isle.
The Burke Divide Company's fate
is of intense interest to some 500
Hoosiers in the Terre Haute and
surrounding sections because the
company conducted an extensive
stock selling campaign there.
These recommendations" says
the secretary's report, do ont bind
the Government to issue oil leases
to the applicants to whom the
awards are made. but merely settle
the rights between the rival claim
ants. Neither will there be distri-
button Of the funds derived from the
operations Of the oil wells in the
Red River field as a result of these
recommendations. This fund was
recently transferred to the Secrtary
of the Interior by the Supreme
Court and will be held pending a de-
cision Of it's final disposition"
All the claimants whose applica-
tons have been rejected by the gen.
eraI land commissioner have the
right to appeal to the secretary of
the interior up to Aug. 81, 1924. APP
pellants must also serve appeals on
the conflicting claimants who have
the right to file replies up to Sept.
Is, 1924. There were altogether 17S
applications, only sixteen of which
were not conflicting. Awards were
made in the case OF thirty-six
claimants.

HOPE IS
SEEN FOR PHONE
RATE REDUCTION
Lawyers See AS Per Cent
Contract of A. T, and T,
as Stumbling Block,

Regardless of any action by the
public service commission, ip the
telephone rate case. telephone users
cannot hope for any substantial re
ductiOn in telephone rates, lawyers
familiar with the situation declared
today. In fact, the public will be
lucky If the rates do not go higher
eventually, they said.
AS long as the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company's
contract with the Indiana Bell Tele-
phone Company. by which it takes
AS per cent of the earnings OF the
latter company, is held legal by the
courts, there is little chance of es-
tablishing a rate much lower than
the present one. and not have it held
coniscatory by Federal Court, law
yers said.
Significant Statements
It is considered significant that
during the Federal Court hearing
Friday before Judge George T. Page
Of Chicago, ILL.,, Frank c. Daley, at
torney for the company. said sew
eTal times IfaL uHueT eAlSlluB GOI-
ditions the rates asked by the CON-
pany almost two years ago, which
were refused by the commission last
year, and which are in effect now.
were confiscatory. Judge Page ad-
mitted that the company had intro
duced evidence to this effect during
the hearings before him, but that
the final decree did not take up this
point.
Federal Bogey Still in Air
1t is predicted that if the COM
mission, at the conclusion of it's IN
vestigatior and hearing. of reduced
rates, the company will again resort
to the Federal Court.
Public Service Commissioner
Frank T. Singleton gave out state
ment in which he says the commits
sion desires aid of all affected COM
munities in the State. the most com
petent engineering and legal aid will
be employed, the commission will pay
all expenses and that the commission
is not hampered by any court ruling
in arriving at the new valuation and
rate schedule for the phone COM
pany.
