master Of the Lyman School for
Boys. missing since Tuesday night,
was knocked unconscious by a piece
of brass piping in the hands of anti
Klansmen, police believe.
The police say that all minor clues
support the theory of an attack and
abduction. Mr.. Ross was known to
have been Ku Klux Khan member
and that his activities were resented
by his anti-Klan associates at the
school and by another anti-Klan
citizen of Westboro. He told friends
of receiving a note threatening his
life and signed by members of an
anti-Klan organization.
State Detective Robert E. Holt, In
charge of the investigation, said to-
day that the present of bloodstained
brass pipe and the threatening note
made the case appear serious.
Mrs. Ross said today:
my husband is very outspoken
and he never hesitates to say just
what ne thinks. I fear that anti
Klansmen were in hiding and at
tackled him Tuesday night.

 Governor Hartley told a committee of Senators and Representative that he would not recede on his wheat bill veto, and told the legislature that any attempt at reprisals through defeat of the tax commission and bonding cleo tion bills would fail of their purpose as while he recommended the meas, ures they were not his personal pro- pOsals.

Trinity Keeps Alive
 Memories of America

OXFORD, Feb 13.-Silas Nortons house, where William Penn preached one of his unpopular sermons in 1697 has recently been demolished. Penn was at that time in Oxford only as a visitor He entered as student al Christ Church College at the age of 16, but was very shortly expelled for his religious opinions. Thomas Lowe who induced Penn to become a Quak. CT, was for a good many years an OK. ford resident.
 Penn's old college, by way of amends, has his portait hung con. spicuously in it's hall. AS a Pilgrim divines were chiefly Cambridge men, Oxford, not to be outdone, makes the most of it's American connections.
 Lord Baltimore is still without a memorial in his old college, Trinity, but as Trinity has portaits of two of it's students we'll known in American history, William Pitt who won the continent, and Lord North, who lost half of it, the college feels satisfied

NEW REGULATIONS GRANT MORE TIME
 TO OIL LOCATORS
NEW RULING GIVES LOCATORS IN FIELD TIME TO PRESENT
 FILINGS ON CLAIMS

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 13.- New oil regulations affecting Alaska and approved by the Secretary of the Interior today, provide that notice of cancellation of permits will be pub lished by the Anchorage Land office, and that sixty-two days will be al lowed for filing of applications. Draw ings by lot will be held on the sixty third day.
 The provision is made however hat any person who goes to the field to locate ln person may make such lo- cation within the sixty two day per iod and then is allowed six months from the date of the location notice in which to present his filings at the Anchorage Land Office.
 By this ruling the actual locator then holds prior rights which take precedence over all filings in the of flee, except similar actual locations in the field.
 The ruling is made thus in order to comply with the law which pro- vides for drawings, but the effect Of the ruling is that all locations made in the field take precedence over ap- plications of those who do not To- cate in person or by agent.
 The oldest permits issued in Alas, ka would under this law, have a pos sible two years in which extensions of time may be granted. The policy of the department of the interior in re- gard to extensions has been very lib- eral and it is believed the Department will continue to be so. There has not to my knowledge been a single rejec- tion of application for extension of time Am writing details.
