Such a scheme w the committce yesterday by the Na- tional Committee on inheritance} taxation, composed of tax experts from every section of the country. In endorsing the six year plan, Mr. Green said this time would give opportunity for states to enact uni- form inheritance tax laws prior to withdrawal of the federal govern- ment. Chairman Green opposed immedi- ate repeal, but suggested that full: credit might be allowed in settle-j ment of the federal levies for amounts paid on state inheritance taxes, Secretary Mellon has pro- posed immediate repeal, and his position was endorsed yesterday by a number of governors. EMPLOYES OF EAGLES LODGE GET JAIL TERMS Minneapolis, Oct. 24—()—Seven employes of the St. Anthony Ae: Fraternal Order of Eagles of Min- neapolis, were sentenced to eight months each in the Winona county jail by Judge John B. Sanborn in fed- eral court in Minneapolis today when they pleaded guilty to a federal in- dietment charging them with main- taining a ‘nuisance. RECOMMENDED FOR SCHOOLS Major H.

In an_ interview D. &: presi- dent of the company, it was learn- ed that prior to the organization of the company, C. one, a geo- logist of Butte, Mont., was employ- ed to examine the Robinson well, tand make a preliminary examination both in of the surrounding country Kidder and Stutsman counties. Mr. Stone is the same geologist who spotted the producing well for the Devereaux Oil Co., in which a num- ber of local men are interested. His report was sufficiently en- couraging to warrant further in- providing the company a sufficient number of can obtain Neases to warrant it in going ahead, znd the company was organized for | that purpose. The officers of the company are: F. Nelstal, president; D. R. Brock- man, vice’ president; Bennett, treasurer und F. G. Cameron, seere- tar, this Mr. Brockman states that company is not connected with any other’ organization; that the or- ganizers of the company up to the present time are simply making an investigation of the proposition, and that none of the capital stock of the company is being offered for sale. Carl R. Kositzky, state land com- missioner, stated today that, ac- cording to reliable information, a government survey of the state made 25 or 30 years ago revealed the presence of a strata of coal in Kidder county. Geologists point out that quite often deposits of coal and oil are found in the same vicinity and this, also, is leading some to the belief that oil may ac- tually be located in the vicinity of Robinson and Tuttle.

In addition to the Townley activi- ties and those of the Robinson Development company. which has leased the town well where gasoline is said to be taken out regularly, another company known as the Gary Bros. is reported to he secured land options in th: jcinity and is planning to start drilling operations. May Drill at Wing Another report states that an oil development outfit from Rider is making plans to drill at Wing, 25 Miles from Robinson, where it is said that the well water has assumed a peculiar taste and appearance and that some of the water, when poured into the street and a match applied, will burn, Capitol employes were informed yesterday by a man who claimed to, be a Montana geologist and said he! had been making a personal investi- gation of the “gasoline well” at Rob-- inson, that it had been determined the presence of oil in the well wa: used by a leak in the underground tanks of a gasoline filling station nearby and that the oil which leaked out of tanks was seeping into the well. Peo; who have been at Robinson claim t this is not probable, however, in much as the tanks i have been tested and no leaks were! found and also that over 5,000 gallons | of gasoline have already been tuken from the well and that no leakage of that amount could have occurred without being noticed.
