ELK HILLS PROBE
SOUGHT BY WALSH
Asks Coolidge for Action on
Status of Section Held
by Standard.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Mon.
tana, conferred with President Coolidge
today over the redistribution, under q
recent Supreme Court ruling, of an In.
vestitgation to determine the mineral OF
non mineral character of section SO Of
the Elk Hills Oil Reserve, now controlled
by the Standard Oil Co. of. California.
The decision of the Supreme Court
reversed a ruling by the District of Co.
lumbia Court of Appeals, which en-
joined the Interior Department from
changing the classification of the Sec
ton from non-minerals to mineral and
thus, under the law, invalidating the
Standard Oil's title.
Oil Firm Gets Tract.
Under survey made in 1908, Section
So was declared to be non-mineral and
pursuant to this. the Standard Gil Co
acquired the tract from the State of
California and the Southern Pacific
railroad. The law permitted non-min-
eral or agricultural land to be opened
to homesteaders.
short while later, character of the
land was questioned and the Interior
Department ruled it to be non-mineral,
Walsh said, declaring this was done in
spite OF the fact that the tract was
classed as mineral by the Elk Hills plat
on file In the department.
Re-survey Ordered in 1920.
Nothing further was done about the
case, the Senator said. until 1920, when
Congress ordered Secretary Payne of the
Interior Department to make re-
survey When Secretary Fall came into
office, Walsh. continued. he, by a sweep
Of the pen," declared the section nom
mineral. thereby validating the claim
of the Standard Oil Co.
Senator Walsh interpreted the recent
Supreme Court ruling as necessitating
re-opening of the case by the Secre-
ary of the Interior, and it was this. he
said. that formed the basis of his con-
versation with the President. -.

Her.
Woman Stares FixedIy at
Jackson Barnett as He
Relates His Story.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Testifying in the presence of his wife,
Jackson Barnett, aged millionaire Creek
Indian, bashfully told the Senate Indian
affairs committee today that he had
not wanted to be married and that he
had not asked the woman to marry him.
Barnett appeared in response to a
subpoena issued by the committee, which
questioned him about charges that he
was kidnapped at the time of his mar
riage. Committee members also sought
information as to the disposition of
funds Barnett received from royalties
on oil lands in the old Indian Territory.
Answering the pointed question of
Senator Wheeler. Democrat. of Mon
tana, about his marriage few years
in Oklahoma. Barnett grinned con-
stantly, replying usually in monoSyl-
tables or with nod of his head.
did you want to get married?"
Wheeler asked.
The Indian shifted his gaze to his
wife sitting behind the Montanan, his
grin growing little broader.
Never mind looking at your wife.
Look at me-" shouted Wheeler.
NO." said Barnett with giggle.
''She asked you to marry?"
shifted his position.
This wasn't leap year was it?" con-

gratulations for his part In the latest
Of these rescues, the saving Of the .25
members of the crew Of the sinking
Italian freighter Florida, from Presi-
dent Coolidge.
Capt. Fried went to the White House
shortly after noon today and met the
President and received congratulations
from the Nations Chief Executive.
Later he posed for news photographers
with the President on the south lawn
of the White House grounds.

self. was impressed with taciturnity OF
the President. MY meeting with Mr..
Coolidge reminded me-" he said, "of the
saving of the old Chinese philosopher,
which is to the effect that we have two
eyes to see with, two ears to hear with
and only one mouth to speak with.
Therefore we should see and hear twice
as much as we speak"
Capt. Fried was accompanied on MS
visit to the White House by Mrs. Frleo,
Representative George r. Stobbs, VINO
halls from Capt. Frieds home town
of Worchester, Mass; George S. Mabee,
assistant director of the United States
Lines and Mrs. Mabee, S. D. Redfern,
general agent in Washington OF the
United States Lines; Martin l.. Petrey
of the United States Lines and Darmus
Benham.
Following q luncheon at the Carlton
Hotel this afternoon, Capt. Fried and
his party left for New York to continue
the sea hero's tour. From New YORK
Capt. Fried plans to go to Boston,
where he will be on. Wednesday, thence
to Worcester, Providence and Philadel-
phia. It has not been definitely set
tied when Capt. Fried will return to
his ship, as his present plans also in
clude a trip to Cincinnati, the home OF
Mrs. Fried, before going to sea again.
Men Held Greatest Need.
The greatest need of the American
merchant marine is men, enough OF
them and the right kind, Capt. Fried
told guests at, a. dinner given in his
honor last night by Clem Gerson, man
ager of the Carleton Hotel. To what
he termed the failure of the Govern
ment marchant marine, Capt. Fried
attributed the, inability to secure suffi-
cient men of the proper type for the
ships.
Establishment of recruiting offices In
the Middle West was advocated by the
sea hero as measure of relief. RE
cruits from the Midwest" he said, 'are
young fellows from the farms, ambi-
tious young men who have never been
to sea and are enthusiastic and capable.
