WASHINGTON, May 1.—The sen: ate oll committee, for the first time in {ts inquiry into the leasing of the naval reserves took up in de tai! today the situation in reserve number 2, on the Buena Vista hills in California. bs Assistant Secretary Finney of the interior department and Director H. Foster Bain of the Bureau of Mines, were called for questioning in what | committee members said was the last phase of the long investigation. Mr. Finney gave to the committee a complete Ust of all leases made on the Buena Vista reserve and re- viewed the history of each. This re- serve is known as the “Checker | Board” reserve because the lands| held for the navy were in most in- stances alternating sections with the intervening sections under pri-| vate control. Many of the early leases, Mr. Finney showed, were for offset wells, granted to protect drainage | by wells on adjoining properties While authority for making the earlier leases rested in the secre-| of the interior, the witness said | that Secretary of the Interior Payne in all instances: referred applications | to Secret of the Navy Daniels, | | and made’no leases without the fatter’s approval. Some of the leases made under Secretary Payne were to prevent the | intrusion of water, Finney said. | The early leases were made by act of President Wilson, upon written reports by Secretary Payne. Most of them were for producing wells, and some were for the purpose of establishing offset wells. ‘The first area leased by Mr. Payne went to the Consolidated Mutual Ofl com- pany and covered acres. | Secretary 1 later granted} “area” leases, the witness said | cover areas in which his prec had granted “well” leases to pro- ducing wells on mining locations, * "The first “area” lease by Fall was for 160 acres on naval reserve num ber 2 to the Boston Pacific Oil com- “Secretary Fall took the view," Finney sald, “that on account of the large area of patented lands and Weiss upon them, it was imprac- ticable to’ maintain the reserve as a reserve, and the lands should be leased up- Theard him express that opinion.

Y., May 1.—Wo- men will have more to do and say in the Republican and Democratic national conyentions this year than at any other presidential nominating conventions that have ever been held. Altho the National League of Wo- men Voters in annual session here is 1 non-partisan body, a canvass of the delegates shows that many have af- filiated directly with the two major parties and that several will be ac tive in the drafting of platform planks and the balloting of the state delegations. Talking with various members of the league here, one gets the impres- sion that the women of the country have not yet gone into organiza- tion activity with the same intensity as their brother voters nor have they been able to accept the present form of party organizations as particular- ly attractive. Most of the women are tempted to remain independent of party affiliation and the task of the party leaders to reform their own organization methods so as to draw to their side more and more women voters. In the convention here may be seen the leaders in political work in America among women. They go about their convention with serious manner and they apply themselves rnestly to the program of princi ples, They took no action on extreme proposals, |They did not go on re cord for peace-at-any-price or total disarmament or even birth control They did not fail however, to support the world court and jt was signific- ant that whenever the league of na- tions was mnentioned the outbursts of applause were ovéfwhelming. Presi- den Coolidge may consider‘that the country has finally rejected the lea- gue of nations but judging by the mood of the convention here, the wo: men have not disposed of it finally at all. There was a definite | under-cur- rent of thought on the question of international, - cooperation. Peace sul remains in the minds of the wo men as something not to be neglect- ed except in the hour of ap emer- gency, They think about it long before the emergency arises. Both could do little better than if they adopted in its en- tirety the set of hummanitarian principles proclaimed by the Nation- al League of Women Voters. The social justice planks which are al- ways so difficult to get into party conventions are made to order for the major conventions this recommendations for legislation are not in violation of the tradition of either the Democratic or Republican parties, ' Incidentally there is no mistaking the sentiment of the women on the prohibition question. The sentiment of the delegates is “dry” and they want the two parties to stay dry tho no platform plank to that effect will SUMMARY OF NIGHT NEWS WASHINGTON.—The house post- Sffice committee by one vote reject- ed an amendment to the postal em- lary bill to provide for a bat $400 annual payment increase for clerks, carriers, supervisors and inspector NEW YORK jrover Cleveland) Bergdoll, draft evader, was rumored| to be aboard the North Germ: Lioyd steams nbus, enrov LAND—Warren 8.

They are stilyin the “show me” attitude toward the major parties with an oc- casional thought about the pos- sibilities of a third party tho the ad- vocates of the latter were in a minor- ity here. The mention of Senator La Follette’s name at one of the mass meetings was greeted by pro- longed applause.

Alcorn, a te'egraph operator at the Penrose headquarters at the Republican Na- tional convention in Chicago in 1920 in which Alcorn stated that “Sen- ator Capper was among a hundred or more people who were in and out of the Penrose headquarter Senator Capper declared “thero Is not the slightest foundation for the statement by Alcorn as far as I am concerned.” ‘I ha no communication or con- sultaticn with Penrose either be- fore or during the Chicago conven- tion,” said the letter.

He sald he ha@ had no official relation to the Teapot Dome leases but had recommended leases on the naval reserves in California which he thought were being drained by wells on adjoining privately controlled lands. The witness sald failure to drill offset wells had resulted p to March 4, 1921, in loss. of 00,000 barrels of oil on the California re- serves, on which the government lost 6,800,000 barrels in Royalty. Other figures, based on various conditional estimates also were expressed his confusion and ina- bility to follow the witness in the different grouping of estimates. | There was much pressure on Secretary Fall in the winter of 1921 to lease lands in the California re- serves, Cutler said, and much of it came from subordinates in the department.

Second TO THE PUBLIC A monument salesman from Scottsbluff, Nebraska,-who has been soliciting orders in Casper during the last two weeks has represented that people who desire monuments or markers for Memorial Day had better order from him as there are only a few such stones in town and that he is shipping in a car load and by doing so can sell at re- duced prices, People beware of this carload bait, it’s an old gag which has been used:for years by monument salesmen to catch. Further, a gentleman who is employed in East Casper has stated to my customers that Scottsbluff trects more monuments in Casper cemetery than any other such firm. I know of no monuments having been erected in Casper cemetery during the last twelve months by this firm. I do know of a certain monument which stands in Casper cemetery which was sold by a Nebraska firm to a lady in North Casper for around $700 -—the same stone can be purchased in Casper for $375.00, I wish it to be understood that I have at present in my show room the largest stock of finished monuments and markers in the state of Wyo- ming and everything is priced from 20 to 30% below out of town firms. TI will prove this June 1st, by mailing to every person who has work erected in Casper cemetery the price their stone or marker would have been, had they have been purchased from a resident Casper firm. Notwithstanding all this, my businss during the last four w i best I have Ifad in fourteen years. I wish the Casper ponte caine Hin fore signing a contract with out of town firms call at my showroom and get prices on such stones as they have been shown by those dealers, I will convince them that they are saving money by buying at home, : Ps Casper Monument Works 508 South Conwell Street Phone 2542
