DELAND SUBMITS OIL WELL REPORT Shows Earnings of Property involved in Red River Boundary Fight, The final report of Frederic Delano, receiver for oil properties volved in the Red River boundary d pute between Oklahoma and Texas, filed yesterday with the Supreme Court, shows total receipts of $13,359,- 012, of which $12,434,608 came from oil. Drilling expenses during the receiv- ership period were placed at $729,444, and other operating expenses at. $1.- 2. In addition $349,241 was paid tors for drilling, $586,809 was used for administrative expenses and $5.265,454 was paid operators on ac- count of flood-plain_ wells. This left avauabie ai ine end of the receiver- ship $4,736,920, all of which has since been paid out on order of the court, with the exception of $191,333, of which $10 is being held until the court can decide who is_entitled to royalties on wells 152, 153 and 154. This question will be considered next week. Of the monies handled by the re- ceivers, the Government received $2. 891,269 from oil produced on land which the court held belonged to the Government, and $1,536,789 which was paid claimants who owned wells on land the court found was located in Texas. The receiver paid Texas $92,861 in taxes on oil produced by e wells. There remains $3,466 re- ceived for oil from wells whose owners cannot be located. The receiver recommended that a balance of $83,401 held by him as a part of the money reserved to cover operating expenses be returned to Texas claimants. MOVIE STARS PROTEST ACTS OF ‘RUBBERNECKS’ Call Police for Protection Against Excess Attention From Intrusive Sightseeing Throngs. on By the Associated Press BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., April 18 —Motion picture stars, who live in this Los Angeles suburb, in common with others of their profession, are not averse to publicity, but when the “rubberneck” wagons exceeded what is locally regarded as the limit, they promptly called upon the police for help. The trouble started with the sight- seeing auto busses. The advertising slogan “personally conducted visits lobby in Los Angeles. Arriving _in Beverly Hills, they | parked in front of some film favorite's home and the chap who was barking | through the megaphone would say | something like this: “Here we have the residence of the sheba of the movies. The lady in white sitting on the veranda is her sister. The gentleman sitting on the left is her fourth husband.” All of which was embarrassing and annoy ing to the objects of attention. The sightseers even get bolder and would venture into the private grounds surrounding the homes. So the residents got together and confided their troubles to the chief of police. The lumbering busses may still travel the streets of Beverly Hills, but they are met with the order to keep moving. i [ PLAYS BY WAUGH CLASS. | Two Skits Presented by Teacher Training Group.

OXFORD ASKS BOXER FUND BE USED ONLY IN CHINA British University Now Has as Many Oriental Students as Is Believed Practicable. Correspondence of the Associated Press. OXFORD, England, March 31.— More than 400 resident graduate members of Oxford University, in cluding the vice ‘chancellor and proc- tors, the public orator, 23 heads of colleges and 33 professors and read- ers, have addressed to the foreign secretary a memorial recommending that the British share of the Chinese Boxer indemnity” fund be spent ex- clusively upon educational and med ical work in China There is no enthusiasm over the proposal that a number of Chinese be educated in the English universities. The universities are well filled at present, and there is reason to be- lieve that neither dons nor students really desire the presence or company | of & further number of Oriental stu- ! dents. LOWDEN DENIES ILLS | OF FARMERS CURED Confers With President; Says Or- ganization Is Best Hope to Relieve Agriculture. President Coolidge was told yester- day by former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois that the agricul- tural situation generally throughout the country is by no means as satis- || factory as’is being reported. He said that while there has been some little improvement, it has not been of the magnitude the public generally be- lieves, and that there are sections of || the country where, he contends, there | is still much disturbance among the farmers. In his apinion, the situa- tion has not cleared up and the sooner the Government and the coun- try at large realize this the beter || it will be for all concerned. According to Gov. Lowden the principal trouble is the high prices the farmer is compelled to pay for everything he purchases and the relatively low prices he is receiving |} for the things he sells. Pins Hope on Organization. He stated that the only solution to the farm probiem in this coyntry is organization. He does not thihk legis- lation will ever bring abou/ the de- sired results and he doubts Fery much if the agricultural fact-fiiding com- mission, recently appoirted by the President, will be able t/ be of much assistance to the farm¢/’ generally. Henry J. Allen, fori/er Governor of ||| Kansas and prominently mentice————g" connection with the Republican “vice | || presidential nomination prior to the Cleveland convention last year, called on President Coolldge today to pay his respects, and, as he expressed it after- wards, to have a short chat about things in general. Gov. Allen said that the people of his State have a warm regard for the Executive and that they are behind ,him in his economy policy. . In the event that there is any seri- ous reaction throughout the country as the result of the practice of too much economy Gov. Allén believes that the President will be ready to meet the situation and will act accord- ingly. SEEKS MORE INSPECTORS Dr. Fowler Needs Two or Three Physicians for Contagious Cases.
