Hence a plan has been formed whicn would effect a radical reduction in out- standing stock; and for the purpose of carrying out the plan control of the company has been vested in John D.

It is proposed to exchange the out- standing commen stock for preferred stock upon a basis of ten shares common for one preferred, this co.- version requiring the issue of 300,000 shares of preferred.

HOMESTEADING FOR GUL RIGHT Only Bonafide Entries Made Prior to Leasing Law Given Preference (Special to The Tribune.) WASHINGTON, April 5.—Those who have been or contemplate making a homestead entry with the notion that such filing will give them the prefer-| ence right given bona fide homestead entrymen by the general leasing Jaw, might better save their money. It will not. { Reports from the vicinity of recent oil strikes, particularly the Osage field near Neweastle, Wyo., are to the effect that hundreds of such homesead filings have been made since the bringing in of the big well, the entrymen being under the impression that they would thus be entitled to the preference right accorded by the leasing law. Inquiry at the interior department today dashed the hopes of any such. Secretary Payne stated most emphatic- ally that such entrymen acquired no priority whatever, and that all such appliciutions would be disregarded, Only bona fide homestead entries, made prior to the enactment of the leasing law, it was stated, would be i] } J.

Campbell in Re- cent Fire Wins Recogntion of Midwest and Present of Gold Watch ‘The unknown hero who closed a valve shutting off the flow of oll which threat- ened for a time to wipe out part of the Midwest refinery plant here, March 22, has been disclosed. He is C. C. Camp- P }bell, a pipe-fitter foreman, and the board of directors of the Midwest Refining company has given Mr. Campbell a handsome gold watch accompanied by a set of resolutions for his heroism. Taking his life in his hands, Camp- hell, climbed to the top of one of the stills to shut off the valve regulating the flow of. oil while five streains of water played on all sides of him. It was this daring act which prevented a possible disaster to more of the refinery and probably prevented the spreading of the flames to plants other than the acid plant which was destroyed. Altho the danger was great and the heat from the blaze almost unbearable, Campbell sat astride the pipe and calmly shut off the flow. Supt. L. A. Reed in commenting on the deed is credited with saying that Campbell's act was the most dangerous one he had ever seen and that but for it a heavier loss would have resulted. N. Y.
