6 (USHER QUEEN RUNS WILD AGAIN, HURLING MASTER GATE ASIDE * Oklahoma Oil Well Resumes Its Mad Rampage as Workers — Vainly Strive to Cap It Oklahoma City, April 5.—(4#)—Hurl- ing aside man’s puny mechanical con- trivances, which for seven hours held the recalcitrant gusher, the Mary Sudik No. 1 under control, the well early today again resumed its wild rampage, flaunting a rumbling pillar of petroleum over the south Okla- homa City field. ‘The big well smashed out of con- trol at 1:05 a.m. after a specially awe constructed master gate, known as an “overshot” began to leak. These leaks widened rapidly; an- chor bolts creaked and the whole structure began to give way. Fearing the “overshot” would be ripped loose and sent smashing up through the 122 foot steel derrick, the few men who had been stationed to watch the well through the night, flung open the valves and the column of oil and gas again spurted high over the crown- block, and spattered down over the already oil-soaked countryside.

Sutton, field superintendent for the I. T. I.

Weary workers, who last night conquered the well after nine days of battling, scrambled from their beds and hurried to the lease, ready to re- sume their fight.

MINOT ARCHITECT T0 LOCATE IN BISMARCK tra L. Rush Signs Formal Con-; tract for Drawing Burleigh Courthouse Plans For many years a pupil of Cardinal Gasparri, above, left, Cardinal Pacelli, right, the new Papal Secretary of Stat of his famous predecessor. London, April 5.—(NEA)—While the Roman Catholic church is being faced with new problems of diploma- cy, among them the task of dealing with anti-religious Soviet Russia, a comparatively young and newly-hat- ted cardinal is assuming the manifold duties of papal secretary of state. But Eugenio Pacelli, the son of a Prominent Vatican lawyer, is by no means untried fh the conduct of Papal affairs. He spent many years in Germany engaged in diplomatic | work. By way -of contrast, Pietro Cardinal Gasparri, the man he has/ succeeded, began life as a humble Peasant lad. But he, too, worked | abroad for years, twenty of them hav- ing been spent in France. Thus does the church emphasize its democracy and international char- acter by recognizing talent wherever it is to be found. There will be no change in the foreign policy of the vatican, for Pacelli was “the most- loved pupil” of Secretary-emeritus Gasparri and will continue the work begun by his predecessor. Nor, he has indicated, will there be any changes in the staff of the secretariat chosen by Gasparri. Succeeds Veteran . Cardinal Pacelli, regardless of his expert training and extensive expe- rience, might well be dismayed by the record of the veteran whom he suc- ceeds. For Gasparri will undoubtedly rank as one of the greatest diplomats and jurists the vatican ever has pro- duced. He first came into the world- fame in his church by his gigantic task of codifying its canon law. This work begun more than fifteen years | ago, has just been finished. ‘Now in the evening of his life—for Gasparri is 77—livng in a modest little palace overlooking Rome, given him by Pope Pius XI, Cardinal Gas- parri expects to finish another big job—that of codifying the laws of the church in the Orient. It was in October, 1914, a few months after the beginning of the World war, that Pope Benedict XV called Cardinal Gasparri to be Sec- retary of State, and thus have su- preme charge of all the church's for- | NEW VATICAN SECRETARY OF STATE FACES DIFFICULT JOB FypRCTEDBY HOOVER question of a papal state to God’s own good time and not depend upon the weapons of outside nations. year when Gasparri and Mussolini signed the Latern pacts whereby the Vatican state was created and Italy recognized the pope as a temporal as well as a spiritual monarch. not only of leading the Vatican pol- icies in safety through the greatest war of all times, but of settling @ dis- pute with Italy which had lasted for 60 years and which seemed insoluble.

But to the Vatican came prel- ates from the central powers, with which Italy was at war. Finally, these men were forbidden to come nearer than Lugano in Switzerland. Before Italy went into the war, it was known the Germans threatened that if she sided with the allies, the central powers, after they were vic- torious, would see to it that a papal state was once more erected. But Gasparri, after Italy went to war, made the clever announcement that as the Vatican was neutral, it‘would make no difficulties for the Italian state. The Vatican would leave the Created Vatican State The seed thus sown bore fruit last To Gasparri thus came the honor Cardinal Pacelli, who succeeds him, is only 54, was born in Rome and comes of a family which had many connections with the Vatican.

The situation clearly calls for most rigid economy and defer- ment of even otherwise justifiable ex- penditures by both the legislative and executive departments.” Tax Cut ‘Justified’ ‘The president's statement said that the income tax payments of corpor- ation apparently will not fall below last year. It is apparent, he added, the cut in the tax rate “was fully Justified.” rived from them, Mr. Hoover said: “The figures submitted in the budg- 480,000,000 without taking into provided for.

Rush, Minot architect, will draw plans for the new $250,000 Bur- | leigh county courthouse and jail gnd sheriff's residence following the sign- ing of the formal contract here yes- terday during the Burleigh county commissioners’ regular April meeting. Mr. Rush said he will complete plans for the structures for presenta- tion to the commissioners at their next regular meeting, May 6. At that time the commissioners are expected to advertise for bids, which probably ‘will be opened the latter part of May. Mr. Rush conferred at length Wed- nesday afternoon and Thursday with | the commissioners in regard to the| new county buildings and what the | commissioners expect. Inspect Hettinger Job Today several of the commissioners are in Hettinger inspecting the re- cently-completed Adams county courthouse, which also was designed | by Mr. Rush. Though no formal offers were made to the commissioners during the meeting to take over bonds which will be issued when needed for the} construction of the new buildings, | George F. Will, chairman, said th several organizations have made in- formal offers to do so. Qutside of the courthouse consider- ation, the commissioners’ time was taken up mainly with routine busi- ness. The three-day session closed yesterday afternoon. Following the meeting yesterday Mr. Rush announced plans to estab- lish a permanent office in Bismarck. This office, he said, will be open and lon his side, spoke of the “Boche eign affairs. It was, some said, the most ticklish and difficult job in the world. The church, claiming to be international, was, nevertheless, clam- orously besieged by both the Central Powers and the Allies to declare the justice of their respective contentions. Gasparri at once laid down this prin- ciple: the Pope can make no differenc tween the various warring powers. Dismissed Propaganda He stuck to this so closely that General Ludendorff, in charge of the German armies, thundered against “the French Pope” and Clemenceau, While dismissing the propaganda | of both sides, Gasparri did not hesi- tate to call the German army's march into Belgium a flagrant wrong. His: job became even more precarious when Italy entered the war on the side of the Allies. the middle of the month to advertise his air taxi service. Lights will be erected on all sides of the field and gas and oil service maintained for any planes stopping on the field. Mr. Hagen will have three planes in con- junction with the field ta be used in various ways, for student training, | taxi service, and for road work in advertising. He has the agency for the Stinson-Detroiter airplanes with his territory covering several states. With Mr. Hagen in the manage- ment of the airport will be Al. Berg- lund, who is a commercial transport i in the near smaller fate tion of canon law. In 1917 he was sent as papal nuncio to Munich. He conveyed the papal peace note to Kaiser Wilhelm II. After the collapse of the central powers, he remained in Munich at considerable risk to himself during the Bolshevik government there. The | Vatican finally ordered him to with- draw and he went to Switzerland. Later he returned to Germany and in 1919 concluded a new concordat be- tween the Holy See and Bavaria. In 1920 he was named first Papal Nuncia to Berlin and accomplished an even bigger job by concluding a concordat between the Holy See and Prussia. These two big diplomatic successes marked him out for high honors. When he was recently re- called and, only three months ago, made a cardinal, it was generally be- lieved he would succeed Gasparri, whose pupil and friend he had been for years.
