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

to determine whether 000 acres of val
uable oil lands In California were

several conferencee with Secretary Bel
linger and the Attorney-General Just

ject yesterday. 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.

results warrant su.h a course to begin

Those who have heard of the Presi
dent's action say that If his plans are

vation will have been accomplished.
