CONTEST IS BITTER Works and Spalding Battle for Senatorship. ... "ARIZONA LAW" PUZZLES One Candidate Has Highest' Vote; Other Carried Mot Districts. Southern Pacific Company May Make Last Stand. L03 ANGELEa Nov. 11. (SpeclaLV The Insistence today by Judge John D. Works and A. O. Spalding and their respective supporters that each will be the next United States Senator from California, makes certain a fierce Works Spaldlng contest before the next Legis lature. The supporters of each have a reason able fighting excuse under the provisions of the "dlrect-vote-for-Senator" law In California. The law calls for an advisory vote from the people at the time of the August primary elections. As a result of this advisory vote. Judge Works re ceived the highest number of votes but Spalding carried the most legisla tive districts. There la doubt which has received the advisory vote of the people In these cir cumstances. The situation Is further complicated by the fact that some of Mr. Spalding's support haa contradicted Itself. Several of the legislative districts which he carried voted at the election Just passed for Democratic candidates to the State Legislature. This fact some what weakena 9paldlng's position. On the other hand, the magazine articles written for an Eastern magazine by Judge Works In which he unmercifully grilis Theodore Roosevelt are felt to be a handicap for a candidate of the party he represents. In personal strength Spalding Is much the better candidate, politically. On the other hand, Spalding had the support of the old Bouthern Pacific machine, and the faction now In power is ambitious to slaughter the la-t armed foe from that political camp. The present political leaders of California, to protect their political machine from being undermined, would rather send anyone to the Senate than Mr. Spalding, although they have never uttered one word against his In tegrity personally. It is quite possible that the old Southern Pacific may make Its last stand thla Winter at Sacramento In behalf of Spalding, despite the fact that Spalding will not take orders from It. OIL LAND PROBE BEGINS TAFT ORDERS INVESTIGATION OP PATENTS TO ROAD. Attorney-General Will Find Out if 6000 Acres In California Were Known to Contain Fluid. WASHINGTON. Nov. 11. Attorney General Wlckereham. by direction of President Taft. has begun an inquiry to determine whether 000 acres of val uable oil lands In California were known to contain oil when patented to the Southern Facifc Railway Company.

President Taft decided to act after several conferencee with Secretary Bel linger and the Attorney-General Just before he left Washington on his trip to Panama.

The allegation has' been made to the President that thousands of acres of public lands have been pat ented to Individuals with the knowl edge that they contained oil and In many rases found their way Into ths hands of the rorporatlona. In directing the Attorney-General to begin an Inquiry Into the patenta of the lands by the Southern Pacific Company, the president Is said to be making only a beginning. The agents of the Department of Jus tice have begun a search of the records of the General Land Office preliminary to a complete Investigation of the pat ents of any lands, whir It may be thought were taken from the public do main mtth the private Information that they contained oil or minerals. The Southern Pacific's lands now In queatlon were patented several years ago. Thousands of acres of other land In the same vicinity were patented at ths same time. In the meanwhile dis coveries of oil gushers In California have occurred on some of the land. President Taft' Instructions to Mr. - ' :i LSI. it A '? A. Q. Spalding. Wlckersham are to conduct an Investi gation with all the facilities st the command of .the Government and if the results warrant su.h a course to begin proceedings for restoration to the pub lic domain of all lands so patented. Those who have heard of the Presi dent's action say that If his plans are successful a genuine work for conser vation will have been accomplished. INCREASE OF SMALL DEPOSITS REFLECTS PROSPERITY.
