SECRETARY FISHER
DEFEISJIISELF
Tells Why He Canceled,
Leases on Oil Lands in
Oklahoma.
FOR GOOD OF INDIANS!
Contends That Red Men J
Would Be Only Slightly
Benefited.'
By International News Service.
WASHINGTON", Jan. 21. Secretary of
the Interior Walter Fisher today an
swered thc charges brought against him
by the deposed tribal council of tho
Osage Indians of Oklahoma and the
Uncle Sam OH company, that lie bad'
favored the Standard Oil company
against, thc independents In the matter
of oil and gas leases worth 5S00.OOO.0O0.
Thc secretary denied everything and
wound up by expressing his personal
and official opinion of tho Uncle Sam
OH company. 1-IIs sentiments were such
that lie frequently clashed with Attor
ney Albert T,. Wilson of Kansas City,
general counsel for the company.
"Because they have had troublo with
tho postoffice department, thc Indian
office, the assistant secretary, the sec
retary and president, they "iave come to
the conclusion they have been treated
unfairly." said Secretary Fisher. "Wil
lingness to make chargeB is tho first
assistant of lhi3 company," he said.
Tho secretary quoted contradictory
sentences from two advertisements bv
the company.
Apt Answer Made.
"You can't win, you can' I lose, If you
play with such disregard of the facts.
It's better than thc three card monte
game."
Attorney- Wilson tried to make the
socrotary admit that the independent
company had caused the Standard Oil
company to raise thc price It was pay
ing the Tndlans for oil.
"I don't know whether it was that
or thc change In the moon," said Fisher.
"The two things would have the same
effect."
Wilson took eTceptlon to Fisher's criti
cism of tho company's methodfl. A mo
ment later the secretary "aid angrily:
"I don't know whether you are fooling
yourself, Mr. Wilson, but you are not
fooling me- I don't think it would fielp
the. Indians at all to have thc Uncle
Sam OH company in that territory."
"Why not?" shouted Wilson.
"Its methods are not such that tho
Indians would get much benefit," re
torted Fisher.
Explains Opposition.
Secretary Fisher said he opposed grant
ing the company one lease on 200.000
acres, because, "In tne past, when com
panies have found It to their financial
interests to consolidate they hsvo found
a means to evade the law and net to
gether." "I think it would be just .as well to
keep the Uncle Sam Oil company out
because I'm afraid It might yield to
temptation." said Secretary Fisher.
Plarller in the hearing Secretary Fisher
said he had had an investigation made
of matters In connection with the leases
and tho report liad been sent to the
t'nitcd States attorney tn Oklahoma,
"with tho recommendation from the In
dian office that criminal action should
bo instituted against the momber of tho
council and certain outside persons who
were interested in tho leases."
The secretary said lie removed three
men from the tribal council because they
had confessed, six years before, that
they nad been paid by otber Interests
to vote for leases, These men wero
Bacon Rind. Tied Fagle and Thomns
West.
Secretary Fisher said he was con
vinced that if tho leases were- granted
all four of them would gravltats to the
Standard Oil company.
Secretary Must Approve.
Chairman Stevens then obtained an
admission that the law forbids an as
signment without the sccretary'u ap
proval. Reprocentatlve Scott Ferris of COiTa.
homa a3ked Secretary Fisher how he
l;new that the leases drawn np Tinder
the regulations he had IsFuefl would bi
better than leases that the Indians had
agreed on befor the regulations wero
prepared.
"Oh. becausB Tm an Intelligent liuman
being and I can understand what I'm
tallring about," paid Secretary Fisher.
The supreme court ni thc District of
Columbia today upheld Secretary Fish
or"! right to remove tho members of
the Indian tribal council without giving
them a hearing.
Today'H neielon of the committee end
ed tho preliminary hearings. Tho com
mute will rnporl to tho hous whether
It thlnlta the indepondent looses should
be granted and whether a further in

THE laws of Utah, relative to the
annulment of marriages and
the granting of. divorces will
be uniform with thc laws of
many of the other states of thc union
if the 'bills introduced yesterday by
Sonator Bonner X. Suiitli 'become- Jaws.
These bills propose, an important re
vision of the divorce laws of tho state
and make more stringont the laws gov
erning divorce actions. T'ho bills wore
prepared by the national commission
on uniform legislation aud localized by
tho Tna'h members of tho commission.
For several years this commission Iiab
been at work on measures which would
make uniform lu all of the ntatcs the
divorce laws. At present all of tho
states have a different divorce code and
muoh confusion results. Those desiring
divorces on flimsy pretexts go to tho
states whore tho divorce laws are las
and secure a dissolution of tho bonds
of matrimony. Tho fact that all states
havo different lawn permits persons who
so desire practically to disregard court
decrees in thoir own states.
Will Unify Laws.
The unifying of t lie dlvorco laws of th0
various states has been frequently urged
aa a groat necessity, but tho attempts
to do so havo resulted in tho discovery
that it was difficult to frame bills that
would be general enough to fit condi
tions in all ntAtos. Tho commission,
through a special committee, has pro
pared several bills and finally accepted
thoso Introduced yestorday by Sonator
Smith as bains: the measures which
would sro farthest in minimizing tho dl
vorco evil.
Th uniform divorce bills wera ap
proved by tho national commission on
uniform legislation and submitted to the
Congi'ooi of Governors at the recent ses
sion at Ulohmond. Tho bills woro dis
cussed at length by the chief executives
of several of the states and wore given
almost unanimous approval. Thc bills
as introduced hero vary in only minor
details from the original measures pre
pared by the national commlsfllon. Tho
variations cover amendments to Utah
laws on the subject already on the
Btatuto books and variations of court
practlco in this state. Tho ULih mem
bers of the national commission aro Sena
tor Benner X. Smith of "Salt Lako, for
mor Reprosontutlvo L. JL. Baker of
Tooelo and Jorrold Ft, .Lotchcr, clerk of
thn United States district court.
Sets Forth Grounds.
The first bill sets forth In detail the
grounds upon which a marriage may be
annulled or a dlvoroo or separation
, granted. Tho annulment of a marriage
j may be made on tho grounds of lnca
.pntty. consanguinity, fraud, forco or co
ercion, insanity, whero the wlfo in under
1C or tho husband under 18 at tho tlmo
of marriugc.
Two kinds of divorce may be granted
under the tornin of the bill an absolute
divorce and a permanent separation. Tho
causes for absolute dlvorco aro limited
to imldnllty, bigamy, conviction and im
prisonment for crime for. at least two
years, cxtremo cruelty ouch aa would en
danger Hf or health, wilful dcsortlon
for two years, habltunl drunkennons for

whcii' tho fornior addressed a commun.1
cation to tho city commission, asLiu.cr
that the inspection work he I thus
forrcd to his department.
Though thc request is couched a h
respectful .sugfresiion. it Iz doclarud h
those familiar with thc nattfro of the
dispute that it amounts almost to an fl
ultimatum, and that Mr. Blossom will
brook no further nssumx'tion by thft
street supervisor of authority that be
believes hy all rules of reason should
fall to the city onpinccr. Thc proba
hility of tho matter burstiuj? into an
open clash that would result in the
resignation of ono or tbc other of tho
warring-' oflicials is not denied.
Engineer Proposes Plans.
Inasmuch as plans aud estimated
ou all public work tiro prepared by
the city engineering department. ATr.
Blossom has taken (ho stand that the
inspection and final approval of that
work belongs to his department, and
not to thc supervisor, who should act
merely as a construction foreman, in
carrying out tho engineer's plans. In
othor years the engineering depart
niont aud board of public works lias
had charge of the inspection work, but
it was assumed by tho street super
visor upon tho reorgauiition of the
city government a year ' ago. Maeh
dissatisfaction has been expressed dur
ing the pjist year over tho inspections
made by tho street departmont, and in
some instauces actual charges of care
lossuess and approval of work not
up to standard hav bcn made.
Mr. Blossoms communicatioa "n'ill
reach the city commissioners -probably
next Monday night, though it 1b pos
siblo that it will bo bold up until the
return of Mayor Park, several week
hence.
Charges Maiiy Errors.
The cngincer'a principal reason for oall

Tie declares that under the present sya- IH
tern errors are made which result in an B
additional expenso to both the contract-
or doing tho work and the taxpayer. K JH
other city in AmcrJca follows such an H
unrensonable system, he says.
Should tho city commission coincide H
With tho engineer's view and act accord
ingly Supervisor Tuddenham would be
stripped of his moat Important official 1
authority and would be relegated to ths
tooltlon it a. mere foreman of consti-uc-
