WILBUR OIL ACTION
PUT TO COURT TEST
Californian Asks Mandamus to
Compel Secretary to Issue
Prospecting Permit.

George G. Rutherford Of Taft, Calf,
has filed suit for mandamuS in the
District of Columbia Supreme Court to
compel Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary
of the Interior, to grant him a permits
to prospect for oil on tract OF $50
acres in California. Through Attorney
Lewis E. Hoffman, formerly connected
with the legal department of the In
terror Department, the petitioner at
tacks the validity of the ruling Of the
Secretary Of the Interior summarily re-
iecting more than 5000 applications
,nrdirg in the department when Presi-
dent Hoover issued his oil conservation
edict.
The law points involved are similar
to the ones raised in the original case
filed by Attorney Hoffman March IL,
on behalf Of Ethel M. McLennan OF
McKittrick, Calf. The lawyer claims
that no discretionary power resides IN
the Secretary Of the Interior to with
hold leases to persons qualified under
the law to have them. In the present
case, Rutherford was the only person
applying for the privilege Of prospect
ing for oil on the land in question. The
petitioner claims that the Secretary is
usurping the powers of Congress and Is
multiplying the oil leasing act.

clusively by steam and electric railway

PURCHASE RULES
Properties to Be Bought First
Will Be Those Within
Assessed Value.

The first properties to be brought
by the District for the proposed munich
pal center will be those which can be
acquired within the assessed value, the
District Commissioners decided today

guidance Of the committee appointed
to make the purchases.

made at locations most advantageous

purchasing committee, to draw up q
standard form Of contract for pur-
chase of properties.
The Commissioners disapproved a rec
ommendation by the committee that o
stenographer be assigned TO carry on
the correspondence incident to the pur-
chase negotiations and decided that for
this work stenographerS must be Dor
rowed from departments from time to
time.
The Commissioners approved the
committees Recommendation that the
rules to be issued should be as general
as possible in order that the preliminary
work OF purchasing should not be UNI
duly hampered and that the greatest
possible freedom of action be allowed
the committee within certain general
limitations. The committee was allowed
to meet at such time as it found neces-
sary TO consider offers made by prop
erty owners.
The property to be bought is that be-
tween Third and Sixth streets, Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Judiciary Square, and
$4,000, 600 Is now available for the pur-
chase. Buying OF the land IS expected
to take at least year before any con-
struction work can be started.

SHOUSR PROMOTING
HARMONY IN PARTY
Simmons Tariff Attack and
Distribution of Statement
Called Significant.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

For a defeated party, the Democratic
contingent here is revealing more vital
ity and aggressiveness than at any
time since 1916, when it won its last
big success.
Internal troubles are by no means
over, but the compulsion Of outward
harmony as a prerequisite to progress is
beginning to be appreciated and prac--
ticed. Jouett Shouse, original McAdoo
man, an administrator and political
manager, has taken hold. He used TO
be an assistant secretary of the Treas
ury under President Wilson and has
been active in politics for many years.
To those who object to the Smith
Raskob domination, Mr.. ShouSe Is the
man at the wheel. And it begins to
look as If his power is more real than
ing with activity. Charles Michael
son, until recently the head of the
Washington bureau of the New York
World, has become assistant to Mr..
Shouse and Is directing the publicity
policy OF the Democrats and helping
manage the party affairs. Men like
Mr.. Michaelson are not easily detached
from their accustomed work and the
inference in Washington is that the
new management has set for itself a
program with respect to Democratic
period of years and will not be mere
scheme for a particular campaign.
Naturally between campaigns the ac-
tiVity Of the minority party centers in
Congress. The first and most signif1-
cant piece of harmony developed by
the Shouse management has been the
issuance of a statement by Senator
Simmons of North Carolina attacking
the Republican tariff bill Mr.. Sim
hn a.
tumn and resigned from the Demo-
cratic national committee. He IS the
leader in Congress of the Democrats
on tariff matters, as he Is the senior
Democrat on the all-important finance
committee.
The distribution Of his statement by
the Democratic national headquarters
was deliberately planned so as to show
that while the Democrats may have
had a quarrel about candidates and
issues last Fall, the fight is not going
to prevent them from presenting a
united front on other issues. Mr.. Sim
mons Is up for reelection next time
and it may be that North Carolina will
accept this incident of regularity on
the part of Mr.. Simmons as q sign
that the Ratchet has been buried. If
1t does and there is no opposition Of
consequence to the Simmons candi-
dacy, North Carolina may avoid the
factional fight which has continued in
Virginia.
Individual candidates, however, who
aspire to the toga of Senator Simmons
may have a different view Of it and at
tack the senior Senator on the grounds
OF irregularity, but it is apparent that
so far as the Democratic national COM
mittee in Washington is concerned, it
mas accepted Mr.. Simmons in the in
terestS of the greater cause namely the
tariff, which may give the Democrats a
chance to recover control of the House
OF Representatives in the next congress
sional election, as the same issue did in
1912. Anyway, the Shouse management
Is letting bygones be bygones, which is
the first step In a harmony effort in
politics.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 9.-The report OF the
safeguarding or tariff inquiry committee
into the wooden and worsted industry,
appointed by the late Conservative gov
eminent, was issued yesterday. 1t says
this industry has established a claim
to a duty "as far as concerns those
tissues and fabrics between the weight
limits Of the ounces and II ounces to
the square yard, which fell within the
category of women's dress goods"
The committee understands that &C
cording to trade custom the term in
cludes all manner of woven fabrics and
tissues ordinarily used for women's
dresses, costumes, or coats, but excludes
those used for underclothing, and all
kinds of goods primarily destined for
mems wear or for purposes other than
apparel. The report in part says:
1--WE are convinced that duty con-
fined to women's dress goods would be
administratively impracticahle. Gus
toms oficer could not be expected to
decide whether any particular articles
were women's dress goods. In fact
there would be number OF difficult
border line cases in which the same
material was used for women's dresses
and other purposes"
