Ratification With Reservations.
"I favor a plank calling for the rati
fication of the treaty on terma acccbi
ahle to the majority of the senate, 'inn
treaty must be cot out of the way at

"I favor' a plank for the' atrlct en

he added, with a amlle, "for a butchor's

"I favor federal control by license of

"I oppose a fuw men, appointed for

Senator Owen did not mention Presi
dent Wilson by nnme. On the other
hand, he frankly objected to the "Vir
ginia platform" given out by the White
House as too verbose In general and
too vagu in tha specific matter of the
treaty plank which favored ratification
without reservations detrimental to the
document as a whole.
f"Why. Senator I.odg 2mself would
accept that " Senator Owen aald. His
contention all along hss been that' his
reservations Improve tha document
rather than Injure it.
Platform Short.
"The democratic platform ought to he
short," ha went on. "It took nearly
,7.000 words for the republicans to state
their beliefs, but the democrat ouitht
to do theirs on one page. Trutha can
be tiii forth In few word, fit 1 oijlv

Senator Owen called Senator) Harding
"the stand-patter of stand-patters."
"Now they are saying ha ia a pro.
gresslve," the Oklahnman remarked,
"because they know only a progressive
can win in this election The work of the
republican at Chicago was fins for
the democrat. Their platform and
their ticket appreciably added to tho"
chancea of the opposition."
Ready to Oe to Mat.
Senator Owen Intends to go to" the
mat with opposing factions of his party.

"DRYS" IN FULL CONTROL'
San Francisco. June tf.. (A. P.)
While hotel lobbies began today to take
on the appearance of a national pollti

Ilrect developments of the day were
confined to physical preparation of tha
municipal auditorium lor tne conven

but there was much discussion In prog.

Volved In shaping the party platform
and there was strikingly little talk about
cumlklntes.
Out of the talk of the nay came an
Increasing rumble of "wet and "dry

obtainable from lenders who, have
reached the scene of battle, hut It waa
clearly indicated that they looked for

in doubt, rending arrival of senator
Olans of Virginia, slated to be I chair

The league of nations Issue did not
fill a prominent place In talk among tha

ested after oovemor Rtennsn letter

American-Owned Oil Wells '

One orte Americano'' tells
Inside Story of Moneytick
eted as Graft.-
i"
(BY HERBERT CORIV.I
City, of Mexico. Today an American
oil man sauntered Into th hotel, lie
Stood out In th Utter of pistoled. Sol
diers and uniformed general and pic
turesque nondescript in buahel-basket
nnt ami skin-tight pant andv six
shooter like, a water tower In a desert,
Shaved, you know, and talnumed, and
ahlned. Linen aparkllng and eyes clear
and cold, ,
j "I see that Manuel Pelaes, the ban
dit nf th oil country, its In the city," I
aald.
"Pandit, hell!" said th oil man, "He
I th best frlond the Americana hava
had In-Mexico. He ha mada It, pos
sible for us to go on doing business." . ,
Bo It' appears there is another side
to tha Peine story. I had been think
lug the general wss one of the Robin
Hood sort, who gave to th poor, mean
lug himself, what he took from the
rich, meaning the" oil men, But the oil
producer says that Pelaes delivered the
onds (list he was nald for..
"He never gave us a rough word but
once," aald he. "Then he waa jubii-
flnd, I think. W had refuaed to pay
him a certain sum or money, and ne
told ua that wa mult nonev ill). Ha
never talks loud and never heat on th
table. He talk and acta like a gentle
man. Rut ha meant business.
." 'Understand,' aald he, 'I must hav
that money, I do not want to burn any
welt, but If I must burn wells to get
the money I will burn the wells.' "
In another atory It has been related
how It happened that th oil men
reached an understsndlng with Pelses
to protect the oil country. Th allle
vitally needed the oil, and Car ran ia
would not give protection. Ho they htrea
the Felsex army, This may ba Irreg
ular by tha standarda that obtain In
isrfectly civilised countries, but down
ere It I not reifnrdcd a good business
to wait until you are robbed beror
taking action. . You act first.
I'elaes and his family own some on-
producing territory, from which he
gains an Income of Mn.OOn or there
abouta I month. That Is why he raised
his army In the first place and located
himself right at home. It haa been
considered perfectly d regeur by om
general to gonoie an ins money ki.
atahl. no matter whose money It might
be. Pelae protected himself. Hla fore
consist or approximately i.uuu . men,
They ar well armed, well fed and welt
disciplined, the nil men say. Ther 1
never any looting wnere i-eiaea ruira.
H shoots 'em or hang 'm," ssta
th oil man. "He hss a rel army. He
licked the Crranltas out of their
boot every time he met them."
It anneara that from tlm to time
Carranslsta geperal tried to ncroach
on iPelaas' territory, Their motive
were mixed, possibly. Carranxa wanted
to bother Pelaes, becaua Pelae wa
mora or lea In rebellion and becaua
ha waa proally and pro-American, Th
genera la wanted to get om of that
good graft that Pelses got. You caa
writ your own ticket on in amount
of that graft, He maintained an army
of 7,000 men, and he kept hla army.

Perhaps I registered doubt.
"J fa true," said the oil man. "I
oounted 176 bodlea myself."
That I -but aaniple of th stories
told. Another yarn will serve as the
explanation why th oil man are a unit
for Pelaes. Ha geta paid for protecthrn,
but then he delivers the goods. . Ho
places a guard of hla men at each well
or hacienda or village where American
are located, They get their pay from
Pelae and from no one else. J'he sol-,
dler who would dare stick up an Amer
ican would rind himself shouting home
to heaven before ha realised that he
had. bade farewell to earthly goods. As
lor tne omer generals: . ..
'I came up here on day to get IJ.Ol
worth of goods." on man said. "Ju
eatables, you know. Before 1 could get
Into the Pelae territory I had to see
a Carranzlatu general.
" 'I will give you a pass through mf
lines,' said he very Kinuiy, -for iuu.'
'Ho I save him 1100. Pure graft, you
understand. He did nothing for it, On
th way down I waa held up by hi
lieutenants.
" 'Throw off that cas of milk and
that sack of beans and a couple of
boxes of' those cigars,' they ordered, .
"HO w threw- them off. Then hl
lieutenants aald they would gkv ua a
pass for 260; - " - -
"'But you're worse than yoar gen
eral,' I told 'eio, 'he only stuck us up
for iuo."
" 'Well,' said th lieutenants, kindly,
'If that I th cass we will charge you
but 150.'
"Before 1 got home one-half of my
stuff had been taken and 1 had paid
fibO for 'peases.' Nothing Ilk that ever
happen with Pelaex. What he Is paid
for we get."
Now and then a "Spanish" spy ap-
? eared In the Pelaex camp hunting in
ormatlon. They are always referred to
a "Spanish" Bples, which casts a light
upon tha regara in which th Mexican
holds tha Spaniard. Th Spaniards, all
Mexican Insist, ar double-crossing,
light-minded, venal, money-hungry,
dlrty-iouled person whose description
cannot .be proceeded with further be
cause of mall limitations. A spy is al
ways a "Hpgniah" coward. The. men
who "'trafflo in women on Mexican
streets are "Bpaniarda."
"One was - brought Into Pelaes
camp.'l said the man who wa Inform
ing me a to Pelaex' method of main-,
taining discipline. "Pelaes ordered him
stripped. On his leg, bound down with
a plaster, his commission a a apy waa
found. .
" 'tfnoot him,' ordered Pelaei."
They" do thing Jut that way In till
republic. Just that anapplneaa is shown,
Not many oa ago a moving piciur
man had hi camera stolen. Eventually
it was found In the possession u( the
thief. r
"Kin," said th officer in command
at, a point up th road. "He is one of
a gang of thieves I have long been
wanting to get rtd of. Shoot him."
' So they shot him, But to get hack
to Pelae and the epy. The man wa
taken out, naked, into th patio and
the firing squad paraded. An officer
tepped to his 'side and swung Into
position In front of a dobe wall. A he
did o th man went mad with fright.
With a howl, froth atreamlng from his
mouth, sweat fairly starting from Ills
tortured forehead, he turned on the

officer a might a. cornered rat. He
sunk til teolli Into th orllcer's shoulder
and hung on, yelping between hla
clenched -jaw, scratching at him with
hi dirty nail. The startled officer
whipped out hla revolver, put the muxale
In th man' face and fairly blew blm
way.' He whirled aud waa dead.
"What waa.that hot?" aked Pelaei,
clamly. when the man cam Into report.
The story wa told.
"You pre ' relfeved ' from command,"
ald Pelaes. "Report" yourelf under
arrest.'"
' "But. my general," protested the lleu
teuant, "he was biting me I lost con
trol of mVself for a moment hi yell
In my ear"
"I had ordered that no shot be fired
here except at my direction," ald Pe
leas with finality, '
So It appears ther ia' another side to
the Pelaes man story. A grafter he may
be, by the etandarrte of the "Norte
Americano," but the men who pay the
money, ticketed as graft say they are
getting value received. He has pro
tected them, hy say,' not only from
unauthorised bandits, who are bad
enough, but from the Carranslsta gen
erals who are Infinitely worse. His
word is good, they ay. His promises
are kept. Hi patrols are guards against
thieves and. not .-thieves prowling fur
. loot. ..........
, "You ought to see one of hi cor
porals ride UP to a patrol camp," said
uns man. "They are real officer. They
keep their men in Hue well a a
I'rusdun ofticer keeps his. Our live
and property are safe where Pelaex Is."
Kven under the new administration,
with all its good Intention, that can
t ot always be nald. Only yesterday I
heard a story of a robbery almost in the
limits of a large city. .Soldiers had
taken mules and hm-nes owned by a
rancher. He' appealed to the general in
command. '
"We are going to put an end to this,"
said he. "Thev had no elffht to do
anything of that sort. Here. Is an order
upon them for your mules and homes.
Ho the rancher took the order and
rod out to the cainp of tha soldiers,
who had taken hla property and pre
sented 4t to th oHIcer in command. ,
"What's this?", he naked, acarmlnir It.
' "Ail order from your general for the
return of my mules," said the rancher.
rlaa. aald the ootllcer.. tearing un
the order, "what do I care for that?
Oet out of here."
Perhapa theAmericans In the oil field
are the more concerned in the defense
of Pelae just now. because the word
has gone out that he ta to be sup
planted In command of the field or at
least a part of the field by a general
who proved himself extraordinarily
greedy In .the pursuit of graft. This
rumor Is not believed by those In touch
with (the new adminlHtratloti. It la cer
tain that President De la Huerta and
Oeneral Obrea-on do not find themselves
as free to move as they would like. , It
Is aure that they , would put an end to
the grafting generals over night If they
could do so without stirring ifp trouble
which they might, not be prepared to
meet, at present. " But it I unlikely
that they can be compelled to turn over
the rich oil field to a general who has
shown himself too hungry for money.
The flew administration mut be given
tlm and th upport of patience If it is
to be successful in obtaining for Mexico
prosperity and peace without generals.
