THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20 JOHNSON DAY AT COFFEYVILLE A SUCCESS MAYOR NEBELUNG'S MESSAGE OF CONGRATULATIONS REACHES KANSAS TOWN GREAT GAME OF BASEBALL IN WHICH FORMER LOCAL PLAYER TAKES LEADING PART From the Coffeyville Journal of date October 30, a copy of which has been presented this office by R. E. Vaughn, formerly mayor of that city, now a leading business man of Anaheim, the following account of Johnson day is taken. The day preceding the game Mayor Nebelung telegraphed congratulations of Johnson's former friends to the mayor of Coffeyville. This telegram was received by the acting mayor of that city and was read from the grandstand just before the game, invoking great enthusiasm. The account in the Journal proceeds as follows: Greetings From California "Mayor Curry, Coffeyville, Kansas: "Greetings to Walter Johnson from his former team mates, friends, associates and admirers of Anaheim, where he pitched his first ball game and started upon his phenomenal career. We rejoice with the citizens of Coffeyville who will today see in action the greatest baseball pitcher the game has ever produced. MAX NEBELUNG, "Mayor, City of Anaheim, Cal." The foregoing telegram was received at the mayor's office Thursday morning by Acting Mayor Lewark and turned over to City Clerk Henry Deichler, who had it read in front of the grand- Girl" club, came along as substitutes. The visitors established headquarters at the Mecca hotel. Louis De Lorme, camera correspondent for Pathe's Weekly of Jersey City, N. J., who is to make a film of today's parade and ball game, arrived in Coffeyville Wednesday night and immediately set about to make preparations for the taking of pictures. He planned to catch the procession as it passed along Walnut street, and the various demonstrations of applause along the route of the parade. On the film to be made of the celebration will be many scenes of Walter Johnson's home life. The camera expert was driven to the Johnson country home this forenoon by A. B. Holloway where he spent a couple of hours getting pictures of "Walter on the farm." Several views of the Johnson country home were secured as well as pictures of the other members of the Johnson family. Johnson proved to be the star of the game and won handily over the opposing nine. CALIFORNIA PURE WINE WILL WIN, SAYS BELL Adulterated Ohio Product Not Eligible to Shipment in Other States Theodore Bell, who has just returned from Washington, where he represented California wine makers in the hearing before the Secretary of Agriculture in the fight which grew out of the Pomerene amendment to the tariff bill, said in regard to his mission and the outlook toward branding the spurious wines of Ohio for what they are: "The hearing just held upon the question of pure wines is of supreme importance to California. In 1910 food inspection decision No. 120 was issued by the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce and Treasury. This decision practically nullified the pure-food law of 1906 in so far as it applies to wines.

It was at Anaheim, Cal., that Johnson started his baseball career, and while today's telegraphic congratulations express the feeling of the people of that city, yet they were to some extent inspired by R. E. Vaughn, former mayor of this city, but who is now engaged in the milling business in the California city. In a letter received from Mr. Vaughn a few days ago by City Clerk Deichler, the writer stated that the people of Anaheim were as much interested in Johnson as those of Coffeyville and that while they were denied the privilege of seeing him they would wire their congratulations the day of the game. The Johnson-Cheney celebration was ushered in Thursday under the most favorable conditions. The weather was ideal and the day's program was carried out according to schedule in every detail. Every business house in the city closed at noon, also the high school and the postoffice. When the parade, which furnished the opening feature of the day, started to move south on Walnut street at about 1 o'clock the city's main thoroughfare was lined on either side with a solid mass of enthusiastic humanity. The procession formed at the north end of Walnut street, headed by a band, and moved south by the plaza where moving pictures of the scene was taken by a representative of Pathe's Weekly. The machine was stationed on a big flat wagon truck where an unobstructed view of the paraders could be had as they passed by. Directly behind the band came the members of the two ball teams, "Marry The Girl" aggregation from Muskogee in front of the local White Sox team. Back of the marching ball players came over 100 automobiles loaded with cheering humanity. The rear of the procession was brought up by a division of motorcycle riders. The parade disbanded immediately after passing the moving picture machine, a majority of the automobiles proceeding to Forest Park. The band hearing before the Secretary of Agriculture in the fight which grew out of the Pomerene amendment to the tariff bill, said in regard to his mission and the outlook toward branding the spurious wines of Ohio for what they are: "The hearing just held upon the question of pure wines is of supreme importance to California. In 1910 food inspection decision No. 120 was issued by the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce and Treasury. This decision practically nullified the pure-food law of 1906 in so far as it applies to wines. During t. fight against the Pomerene amendment the California representatives protested vigorously against decision No. 120, and it was really for the purpose of considering this protest that this last hearing was held. "The position taken by us was that the addition of sugar and water constitutes an adulteration of wines, and that, under the pure-food law, wines so adulterated are not eligible to interstate commerce. We took the position that not one gallon of pomace wines should be permitted to be shipped from one state to another. We also emphasized the fact that California wine makers did not have to add either sugar or water and that no regulations can be too stringent to suit us. "The hearing resulted in a decided split among eastern wine makers, for just as soon as the Ohio wine men took the position that pomace wines should be recognized many wine makers in New York immediately declined to support them. "I am confident that the matter will be decided by the department in favor of pure wines; that all pomace wines will be declared contraband and their shipment in interstate commerce absolutely prohibited. "California wine makers are only demanding the protection of the pure-food laws of this country, and we have no reason to fear that wines will be excepted from the rules and standards governing the purity of food products." GOLD PLACERS IN ALASKA During the summer of 1912 Henry M. Eakin, of the United States Geological Survey, visited the Ruby, Inoko, and Iditarod districts in Alaska, and a report on the gold placers in those districts has been issued. The mining center of the Ruby district is about 25 miles south of Yukon River at Ruby and comprises half a dozen creeks, all within an area a few miles square. The first discovery of gold in this district was probably that made on Ruby Creek in 1907, near the site of the present town. This discovery proved to be of no great importance, As a result of Suide deal was closed with Company by the test Standard secures that the Murphy Company is the absolute owner. The consideration for ownership is reported $4,000,000 in cash and royalty on the product wells.

Back of the marching ball players came over 100 automobiles loaded with cheering humanity. The rear of the procession was brought up by a division of motorcycle riders. The parade disbanded immediately after passing the moving picture machine, a majority of the automobiles proceeding to Forest Park. The band boys and ball players counter marched to Eighth and Union streets where a special interurban car awaited them and took them to the park. Just before the ball game started this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Walter Johnson was presented with the silver loving cup from the people of Coffeyville and Larry Cheney received a handsomely engraved gold watch. The presentation took place in front of the grandstand and was greeted with wild cheering. The Muskogee aggregation arrived in the city Thursday morning in charge of Jack Crabtree, who is manager of the team as well as manager of the Muskogee store of Ferguson Bros. It proved to be the "Marry The Girl" club that has played at Muskogee during the past season, augmented by Frank Foster, of the Boston Americans, and Walter Coe, late of the Nebraska State league. However, several other members of the team have league records, Mattack having played with the Kansas City Blues, Ardinne and Welch being ex-members of the old Western association.

In all 24 claims, located on five creeks, were worked in the Innoko district in 1912, by a total force of about 140 men. The total value of the placer gold produced during the year in the district was probably in excess of $250,000. Twenty-nine claims, located on eight different creeks, were worked in the Iditarod district in 1912. Thirty-six plants were engaged in the work, and about 975 men were employed. The value of the total gold production of the district, including Moore Creek, for the year was probably $2,750,000. WANTED—Position as housekeeper. Phone Pacific 247J. STANDARD BUYS MURPHY OIL FIELDS PAYS FOUR MILLION DOLLARS CASH AND A ROYALTY OF 22 PER CENT PURCHASE WAS A VICTORY FOR ROCKEFELLER OVER ROTHSCHILDLS, IT IS CLAIMED A preliminary skirmish in the titanic struggle between the Rothschilds and Rockefeller for the control of the production of the oil fields of California was fought out on Sunday last and at the close of the engagement Standard Oil was returned the victor. On Sunday morning a secret meeting was held in San Francisco between the representatives of the Standard Oil Company of California and the entire board of directors of the Murphy Oil Company, a Los Angeles corporation. The Murphy Oil Company owns the premier producing property in the rich Fullerton field, that is, eliminating some of the holdings of the Union Oil Company from consideration. Its production is upward of 4,000 barrels a day. As a result of Sunday's meeting, a deal was closed with the Standard Oil Company by the terms of which the Standard secures the entire control of the Murphy Company's production and the absolute ownership of its wells. The consideration for this passing of ownership is reported to have been $4,000,000 in cash and a 22 per cent royalty on the production of the Murphy wells. For several months the Royal-Dutch-Shell Syndicate, in which the house of As a result of Sunday's meeting, a deal was closed with the Standard Oil Company by the terms of which the Standard secures the entire control of the Murphy Company's production and the absolute ownership of its wells. The consideration for this passing of ownership is reported to have been $4,000,000 in cash and a 22 per cent royalty on the production of the Murphy wells. For several months the Royal-Dutch Shell Syndicate, in which the house of Rothschilds is interested, has been negotiating for the purchase of the Murphy Company's properties. While these negotiations were still pending, but undermined, the Standard Oil stepped to the front and secured the rich prize by a bid that is generally considered to represent the largest proportionate price yet paid for any California oil property. Oil men say that the securing of the Murphy property by the Standard practically bottles up the Rothschild syndicate in the California field, where it now owns some properties, but has not quite enough oil at hand to warrant the expenditure of $5,000,000 in the construction of a pipe line. In accordance with their invariable custom, the Standard Oil officials positively declined to discuss the reported acquisition of the Murphy properties, but on the other hand, they were equally firm in refusing to deny that they had secured this group. It was learned from another source that the papers that will carry into effect this deal have been duly signed and delivered to the Standard Oil Company of California. Some idea of the enormous price the Standard has agreed to pay for the Murphy properties may be gleaned from the fact that expert oil engineers consulted estimated that 22 per cent of the net yield, which forms the largest of the purchase price, will bring the surviving heirs of the Murphy estate of Detroit more than $20,000,000. With the $4,000,000 cash payment added to this the price paid and contracted to be paid by the Standard to the Murphy estate is the highest price ever paid for any oil property in the history of the State. Originally the property was an orange grove. Shortly before his death Edward Murphy, of Detroit, refused $12,000,000 for the property. He was a lumberman of great wealth. Already the Sandard Oil Company has an extensive production in the Whittier and Coyote fields, which are connected by pipe line with its refinery at El Segundo.

One of the ablest preachers of the day—a man of the stern, fervent, evangelistic type—was to address a meeting of students in reference to the free distribution of religious literature among the masses. The conference was held in a private room of a restaurant, and was well attended by the most earnest young Christians of the university, but before the worthy man began his talk, and indeed, for a few minutes after he started, the waiters were kept busy flitting up and down between the long tables at which the students sat, placing mugs of foaming beer at every place, the doctor himself not being forgotten. All during his passionate appeal they slowly sipped their beer, yet were none the less earnest or sympa- Tax Payers Attention The first installment of State and County taxes becomes delinquent at 6 P.M. on Monday, Nov. 24th.

LAMB, County Tax Collector Murphy estate is the highest price ever paid for any oil property in the history of the State. Originally the property was an orange grove. Shortly before his death Edward Murphy, of Detroit, refused $12,000,000 for the property. He was a lumberman of great wealth. Already the Sandard Oil Company has an extensive production in the Whittier and Coyote fields, which are connected by pipe line with its refinery at El Segundo. The new well brought in by the Standard Oil Company on October 30 near the Coyote Hills and reported to be the biggest producing well in the South, is still flowing 6,000 barrels daily. The flow from this well was at first estimated at 10,000 barrels per day, but after this large flow for several days the well settled down to a more regular flow of high gravity oil. Now the Standard company is ready to begin drilling two new wells. These will be known as No. 11 and 12. The grading is now being done, and work on the derricks will begin immediately. The wells are to be sunk on the east side of the company's property. Well No. 7 was started after well No. 6, and as yet oil has not been struck at No. 6. With five wells now flowing the Standard is piping 12,000 barrels of oil daily at El Segundo. When a Mexican defeat is reported as "overwhelming" the probabilities are that two sets of stragglers have been shooting at each other and that one got tired of the sport and went away.
