A suit which will text the title of hunlredn of thou HUntln of acres of oil land in the- WeHt, with values running Into tho millions, will he filed at Los Angeles, Cal., by tho Federal government in a few days. AssiHtant Attorney-General Knae.be! inntructed United States Attorney Mc- Cormick ot Lob Angeles to begin pro ceedings agaiimt all claimants to 1601 acres of oil lands in Southern Califor nia, said to be worth $5000 an acre. Other suits will follow, all of them most efforts to concentrate fortunes and power until the luws of nature caused the attempted monopoly to "fall of its own weight." Hoop posed, however, concentration through corporation ami holding companies He would not nay whether concentre tion had yet reached tho point where it was dangerouH. Ileforo the same committee appeared George W. Kcynolds, president of the Continental & Commercial National bank, of Chicugo, who said he knew of the "trend toward concentration of money credits," and that he thought it a dangerous thing:. "I am opposed to the concentration of any sort of, power, " he said. "I believe that concentration to the point it has already gone is a menace. Jn saying that I do not wish to sit in judgment on the men who hold the power. Mr. Reynolds said he was opposed to the principle of interlocking directors. Mr. SchifT took the view that depos iters in banks were protected suffi ciently under the present law, "if administered by and kept up to the teachings of experience."

M m.'-' i - to testing the legality of the extensive oil land withdrawal made by President Taft, September 27, 190!), when ques tions were raised as to the president's power to make the withdrawal. Not only will the government ask the court to declare valid its title to the land, but it also will seek recover- es for all the oil which is said to have been withdrawn, the exact quantity of which must be developed by the suit. The proceedings in Los Angeles, it is understood, will be directed against all those who have claimed or still claim title to the land, those who have extracted the oil and those who have purchased it. The Interior department has refused grant patents on any of the lands. here are said to be many conflicting claims among the persons who base their contentions upon placer mining locations. An agreement, the terms of which are said to be secret, is declared to ave been entered into in May, 1911, purporting to settle the conflicting claims by which the Maricopa North ern Oil company, National Pacific Oil company, Midway Northern Oil com pany received full possession of the whole tract, a quarter section of land n Kern county, California, with rights to develop the land and extract the oil. These companies are said to be in possession of the land. Large quantities of oil are alleged to have been sold or otherwise distrib uted to the Standard Oil company and Tarr & McComb, Inc. The claims to the lands are illegal and the extraction of the oil was wrong, according to the government. WANTS NO LIMIT TO WEALTH Banker Schiff Declares Laws of Na ture Are Sufficient. Washington, D. C. Liberty of in- viduals to concentrate money and power to the limit of their ability was advocated before the house money trust investigation committee by Jacob H. Schiff, of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Mr. SchifF declared individuals should be allowed to exert their ut- which it owned, because, "prudence" would prevent officers of a bank from accepting too much doubtful security, and that no further law was neces sary. "Too much law," he said, "can crush the life out of a bank." "I believe in individual freedom," he said. "If an individual goes too far, the laws of nature would inter fere. The first great attempt at mon opoly was the tower of Babel. That fell of its own weight. Every indi vidual monopoly would do the same when it reached that point." "Have you ever thought what would happen while such a monopoly was growing and whent it had fallen of its own weight? "No, I never thought of that," an swered Mr. Schiff. t A Home Institution The V Located In the new Sperling Building. INDEPENDENCE, ORE. OFFICERS J. J. FENTON, Pree. J. B. PARKER, Vice Pres. C. W.

The Lever Smith agricultural extension bill, which already has passed the house and received the approval of the sen ate committee on agriculture, was taken up for consideration by the sen ate. The measure got through the first parliamentary stages, when it I was withdrawn by Senator Hoke I Smith that the senate might go into (executive session.

Lisbon, Portugal An insurrection has broken out in Angola, Portuguesse West Africa, and dispatches received relate that the natives have committed many atrocities. They raided settle ments, killing the inhabitants and pil laging property. Several European women were carried off by the insurg ents and four men captives were burn ed alive.

Versailles, France Raymond Nich olas Landry Poincare, for the last 12 months premier of the French cabinet. was elected president of the Republic of France, by the national assembly. composed of the members of both chambers of parliament, to succeed President Armand Fallieres, whose seven-year term expires February 18 Great confusion, out of which arose two challenges to duels, marked the casting of the ballots. Premier Poincare's selection for the presidency of France, although made by parliament, as required by the con stitution, is regarded as representing as well the popular will of the nation. Jules Pams, minister of agriculture, was Poincare s nearest competitor. The final ballot stood: Raymond Poincare, 483 ; Jules Pams, 296 ; Ma rie Edouard Valliant, 69. roincare s hrst words on receiving notification of his election .were: "I shall try to show myself worthy of the confidence of the national assembly. shall forget without effort the strug gles of yesterday and even the in juries. Be convinced that I shall seek in everything and at all times to be an impartial administrator." Castro Applies for Bail. New York Another application for the release of Cipriano Castro under bonds pending final decision as to his right to enter the United States was made recently before the Federal dis trict court. The renewal of this mo tion was made because the Venezuelan case is now before the Department of commerce and labor on an appeal from the decision of the local immigration authorities ordering his deportation. Federal Judge Holt reserved decision. It is believed Castro intends to fight his case indefinitely.
