Service) “Hansom Dan” Archie and His Cab NEW YORK, Mar. 4——Habitues of upper Fifth avenue call him “Ean- som Dan.” “And don’t ever beileve,” says the gentleman in question, “that it’s be- cause I’m a Beau Brummel.” This all concerns Dan Archie, who is the “Old-Timer” himself when !t comes to driving cabs, _“Hansom, ur?’ He’s called it a million times. Auto cabs No siree! If you chat- er about erank shafts, spark plugs o gear shifts, you are not talking n Dan's language at all. But men- tion curry combs, axle greas» and shay shafts and Dan will be all ears. Too Fast for Dan. “Ive never ridden in an auto,” says Dan. “TI don’t like their smell. And the speed of them is enough to take vour, breath away.” Dan is 61 years old. For 40 years © has driven his hansom cab about the streets of New York. Today thou- sands of automobiles pass his stand, including the taxis that have taken from him much of his business. But he still clings to the cab. “I'm thinking it's not alone the way of transportation has changed,” Dan Philosophized. “The people are not the aame. Today they are always in a burry. “The young fellows don’t take to the cab. It's speed they want. Old-Timers Stay. “It's mostly the old-timers that ride with me. Once in a while some young fellow wants to give his girl a ride in a cab to show her how it feels to go so slow. “But it’s too slow for the taasies. They must hurry, and they have to take in some show or dance that sets the lad back a week's salary. “The pace they go may be all right for some, but not for old Dan. I'll stick to the old horse and cab until my time comes.” HOMESTEAD ENTRIES LIMITED TO SURFACE RIGHTS ON OIL LANDS That homestead entries for surface rights only can be made on lands previously taken up and developed as oil prop- erties, is ‘the text of a decision made by Secretary A.

Ress agent of the painters union, The trial of the labor chiefs grew out of the investigations of the Daily Executive Committes, which begun its Workly shortly after the Lockwood eommittes in New York had expose alleged building trust there. According to testimony given befory this committee various labor leader: had obstructed building by ‘ulin; strikes on virtually every tu Jdin; erected in the city and foreing the @wners to pay heavy “fines’’ before the work could be resumed. A fifth isbor leader indicted tn the ase “Doo” Curran, néver was appre bended, Radio Used In Crime Warning cases, pending for hearing fromthe same field, was received here by At- orney Floyd E. Pendell, who repre- ented the interests of Mr. Mahoney and other homesteaders who were de orived of their rights through alleged iggressive actions of oil companies. In announcing, the decision which was personally written by Mr. Fall a slause which reserves to the ofl com panies sufficient lands in homesteads of this kind to fully and expeditiously remove oil is retained. The first entry on the land was made by Mr. Mahoney in October, 1919, before the passage of the oll and yas lands leasing bill. The entryman first established his residence on the land May 20, 1920, after the entry had been allowed by the interior depart: ment in April. Agents of the Midwest Ofl company, t was alleged, threw Mr. Mahoney off the land May 24. Later Mr. Mahoney and other service men went to the Midwest camp and demanded a return of the possessions of Mr. Mahoney which they had confiscated. The de- mand was not allowed. In October 1920 after the matter had been taken before the interior depart- ment Clay ‘allman suspended fthe homestead entry, ‘The matter was then taken directly to the secretary of the interior’ on an appeal. ‘The appeal was heard April 1, 1921 and First Assistant Secretary Finney, rendered a decision favorable to the homesteader’s interest. In October of the same year the Mid- west company and assuciated organ- izations took an appeal and filed a pro- test against Mr. Finney’s @scision. A rehearing of the case was orcered and heard later the same month. On March 3, Secretary A. B. Fall, in @ personally written decision sus- tained the Mahoney homestead entry with the reservation that the oil com- panies could have such acreage as they require to remove the oil from the land. ‘This is eaid to be the first case of its kind in the United States in which a final deciion has been rendered.
