Ileforo the same committee appeared

the "trend toward concentration of
money credits," and that he thought
it a dangerous thing:.
"I am opposed to the concentration

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been withdrawn, the exact quantity of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

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.
