PRESIDENT VETOES
OIL LEASE BILL
Favors Holding Up Measure
Pending Outcome of Suits
Now on Court OoCketS.

On the ground that it would dis
criminate as between applicants for
leases, President Coolidge yesterday
vetoed the bill to authorize oil and
gas mining leases upon unallotted In
dian reservation lands. concerning
which measure protests that it was
tainted with fraud had been brought
to the attention Of the President by
Senator Borah of Idaho. Senator
Borah about a week ago asked the
President to withhold his approval of
the bill until these charges could be
investigated.
In his veto message, the President
referred to statements concerning the
bill said to have been made by persons
seeming to have adverse interests
but said that. despite it's discrimina-
tory effect, he was confident the bill
has been passed in entire good faith. "
Second Veto This Session.
Thus, in exercising the veto for the
second time during this session of
Congress, the President acted entirely
upon the merits of the measure with
out questioning the good faith of
those sponsoring it. Senator Borah,
at the time he conveyed the protests
of fraud to the President said he was
not ready himself to indorse the
charges until he could look into them.
The bill would have affected about
400 applications for leasing permits
filed after Secretary of the Interior
Fall had ruled in June. 1922, that the
lands involved were opened to lease
under the general leasing act of 1920.
In May. 1924, the Attorney General
| ruled that the reservation lands did
| not come under the leasing act. and
| took action to secure the cancellation
| of the permits previously issued to
| about 90 of the more than 400 appli.
cants. The resulting litigation is still
pending in court.

RESISTANCE PLANS
Will Distribute Application
Blanks Through Police
and Organizations.

Jubilant because Congress gave him
birthday present today by passing
the amended District traffic code. Traf-
fic Director NJ. o. Eldridge began i'm
mediately to make preparations for
reisSuing the 10000 automobile op-
orators permits which have been in

rector is SO years old today.
Forms for applications for the new
permits are ready to go to the print
erS, and other arrangements COM
pleted for the tremendous task of is
suing the drivers cards. Mr.. Eldridge
announced that he has abandoned his
original idea of staggering the re-
issuance of the permits under an al
phabetical system and instead Will dis
tribute the applications at the various
police precincts. American Automo-
bile Association, the National Press
Club and other organizations, where
motorists may procure them and leave
the necessary SO for the permit. The
permits will be mailed to the appli
cants.
The traffic director expects to begin
the reinsurance of the permits about
July Is, and believes that under the
new plan it will be possible to dis
tribute the news cards in about three
months. Under the staggered plan it
was estimated that it would have
taken a year.
Mr.. Eldridge emphasized that the
traffic records of all motorists apply
ing for the new permits would be
carefully examined before a new card
is issued. Those whom he regards as
unfit to operate a car because of their
past records for traffic violations will
be denied a new permit.
Before attempting to enforce some
of the major provisions of the new
traffic code. Mr.. Eldridge indicated
that he would confer with the District
Traffic Council, the trade bodies and
other interested organizations and

but are given tasks to occupy them

Stevens and Carpenter are not
allowed those privileges. Also,
other prisoners have large airy
cells with comfortable beds and
privacy.

kind and gentle to all the prisoners.

are in his custody are ordinary hu-

The motive for my stay In jail
was to learn how Stevens and
Carpenter were being treated;
whether the warden granted them
favors denied prisoners Of less
means; and to observe in general
their conduct in jail. learned two
things OF great interest about the
Jail:
First, that it is unique in
respect to cleanliness and santa

one OF the most sympathetic and
punctilious men / have ever en-
cOuntered.
Second. that stevens and Car

Stevens and Carpenter are sep
arated In the jail, one being in the
east and the other the west wing
of an upper floor.
Willie Stevens is having the time
OF his life in Jail. He is getting
plump and passes ribaId jokes to
all his Jail mates who will isten.
Carpenter Is Depressed
Henry Carpenter, on the other
hand, is very apparently i'll at
ease, chatting under the restrictions
OF close confinement. He has just
weight, is depressed, and Is con-
siderably paler than when he was
arrested.
Stevens talks on any subject
except the Hall Mills case. He never
mentions that, nor will he allow 1t
mentioned in his hearing. In fact,
he has made an agreement with
his Jail mate that IL the other
prisoner viii not only refrain from
mentioning the case but will also
refrain from reading any news
papers, Stevens will continue to buy
him sandwiches, pies, and tobacco.
Three meals a day are brought to
Stevens and Carpenter from a
nearby restaurant. All prisoners
who can afford it have the same
right.
One privilege granted Carpenter
is that his wife is allowed to make
special visits to him almost daily
to bring him home cooked fo3d
and delicacies.
Keeps In Touch By Mail
The cells Stevens and Carpenter
occupy are small and dark. There
are no lights and reading is done
under difficulties.
Carpenter keeps in touch with
his business by mail, reads, and
