FISHER’ CHARGER WITH
STANDARO GIL DEALS
Secretary of Interior Alleged
to Have Coerced Indians in
Oil Leases
HEARTS TREATED FREE
By Dr. Miles, the Great Specialist Who
Sends a New $2.50 Treatment, Free.
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—The fight
between the interior department, the
Uncle Sam Oil company and members of
the ttibal council of the Osage Indians,
who v(ere deposed recently by Secretary
Fisher, and whose actions have been
referred to the department of justice for
Investigation, was thrust upon the at
tention of congress and the courts here
today.
Representatives of the oil company,
whose leases upon Osage lands in Okla
homa were not approved by Secretary
Fisher and representatives of the de
posed tribesmen, spent the day before
the Indian affairs committee of the
house, presenting charges against Secre
tary Fisher and other government offi
cials.
Early in the day, some of the deposed
members of the Osage council secured
from the district court a mandamus
against Secretary Fisher, to compel him
to show cause next Tuesday why they
should not be reinstated.
HOW STANDARD WAS AIDED.
The basis of th© charges against the
secretary of the interior was that he
had aided the Standard Oil company’s
interests by refusing to approve the
Uncle Sam leases. A bill is now before
congress to validate them. In a counter
statement, mailed to the committee
when the hearing began, Secretary Fish
er declared that the actions of the offi
cials of the Uncle Sam Oil company and
the counucil of the Osage tribe, In nego
tiating for the leases were such that
they had been referred to the department
of justice and for this fact he could
not discuss them publicly.
The department of justice late today,
through Assistant Attorney General
Knaebel, transmitted to the United
States district attorney at Guthrie,
Okla., the reports and documents fronf
Secretary Fisher, alleging that “undue
influence” had been used upon the de
posed members of the Osage tribe in the
negotiation of the leases. If the inves
tigation by the district attorney war
ranted such action, the case will be
laid before thfe grand jury in Oklahoma.
Heart disease is dangerous, hundreds drop
dead who could hare been saved. Many have

BY HENRI FERRER.
PARIS. Jan. 18.—Viscount Alfred De
Breuil, a young French explorer, has
recently had an experience in empire
building which recalls the adventures
of M. Jacques Lebaudy. The French
explorer, who had acquired some In
fluence over many primitive tribes in
Arabia and Syria, was approached in
1910 by a German named Nicholas
Benz. The German proposed that the
viscount should return to Asia and in
duce the tribes by presents to declare
their union and independence, and elect
him king. Subsequently the viscount
should sell his title and right to the
German emperor.
Viscount De Breuil was sceptical as
to the 'funds necessary for the under
taking, but when a Frankfort bank
sent a cheque for $40,000 to be paid
for the title of King of Arabia and of
Syria when it should have been ob
tained, he agreed to embark on the ad
venture. Benz gave him an advance of
$5,000, with which he departed for Ara
bia. Some time afterward twelve tribes
assembled in a “djema~ at El Aioun
with tne emirs that governed them,
and this assembly, presided over by
Abou Has|san, proclaimed the indepen
dence of Arabia and Syria, and elected
the viscount monarch, with the title
of “King Alfred I.”
Abou Hassa-n was made grand vizier,
and the twelve emirs were appointed to
be ministers. Further, a solemn con
tract was drawn up forming a veritable
charter. In the first article it was stip
ulated that the independent kingdom of
Arabia and Sj'ria should be placed un
der the “protection” of tne Virgin Mary
and of St. Marius. The viscount De
Breuil had these documents authenti
cated by the Egyptian authorities and
did homage to the apostolic delegates
at Cairo. Pround of his success, the
“king-explorer” then returned to Paris
to collect the $40,000. v

Why suffer with stomach trouble? Why

(Special Cable to The Journal.)
CAIRO, Jan. 18.—Thanks to British
capital, British engineers, and British
contractors, the fertile fields of Egypt
may now be cultivated all the year
around. This was made partly possible
by the building of the original As
souan dam; it has become wholly so
by the enlargement of the barrier which
holds up the waters of the Nile. With
the opening of the completed dam one
of the greatest engineering works of
modern times is brought to a success

The opening ceremony was performed
by the khedive, the handle used by him
in manipulating the lever for freeing
the swing bridge across the locks very
appropriately taking the form

Nile-god of the Egyptians.
Lord Kitchener read the following
message from the king:
On this auspicious occasion I desire
you to express to the khedive rhy hearty
congratulations on the completion of
this great work with which the name of
my uncle, the Duke of Connaught, is
connected. Following with deep interest
the prosperity of Egypt, I rejoice with
the khedive at the achievement of this
vast undertaking which will confer far-
reaching benefits on landowners and
especially on poorer cultivators.
Now the water supply for irrigation
purposes is assured by the magnificent
dam, which the khedive today inau
gurates, and his government already
has in hand a comprehensive drainage
scheme for the lower Delta, the bright
est agricultural prospects seem assured.
I preserve the happiest recollection of
the khedive’s recent visit to me in Eng
land.
Many were the difficulties that had to
be surmounted before the beneficient
work was even commenced. The need for
additional water was felt ninety years
ago when modern conditions and re-
ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD BUI
HEIR TO BLOOD FEUD
Sister of Lad Seeks to Save
Him From Being Future
Leader
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
WINCHESTER, Ky., Jan. 18.—The
future of feudism in Breathitt county
is in the hands of an eleven-year-old
boy. He is little Hargis Callahan, heir
to the feud of the Callahan clan
against the Deatons. It rests with him
whether the vendetta that has cost so
much of the best blood of Kentucky
mountaineers shall cease,or go on tak
ing its horrible toll of lives.
The feudists regard him as the nat
ural avenger of his father, who died
with his boots on last May, at Crock-
ettsville, when an enemy’s bullet snip
ped through his store window and
lodged in his heart. Fifteen men are
on trial for that shooting here in the
Winchester court house, and the town
is thronged with feudal clansmen.
They sit around the stoves and spin
the folk yarns of the mountains and
review the old killings and old hates
—and they wonder what little Hargis
Callahan will do when he grows up.
Outsiders think that the trial will

one and a quarter miles across, and
was originally 82 feet wide at the
river bed at the deepest points and
23 feet wide at the top, the dam rising
approximately 128 feet above its foun
dations. The increased storage required
necessitated an additional height of dam
of 16 feet 5 inches, with an increased
thickness of wall across the top of
about 13 feet 5 inches, the present total
height of the dam being approximately
144 feet at the deepest points.
The dam, in its previous condition,
formed a reservoir which provided a
storage capacity of about 980 million
cubic meters, but the completed dam
will store more than twice as much.
The cost of £he alteration is about
$7,500,000.
The .constant supply of water provid
ed by the 1 reservoir does away with
the ancient system of basin irrigation,
and the fertile fields of Egypt are now

that should make possible a
tended use of the'fertilizing Nile flood.
These efforts were a move in the right
direction, but fortunately Mehemet was
deterred by his European advisers from
executing them on his own lines; for
he desired to pull down the Great Pyyra-
mid to furnish stone for his Nile dam.
Later came the Barrage of Gallium,
north of Cairo, but the construction
of this, the pioneer work of its kind,
was attended by all the difficulties that
arise from a bad foundation, dilatory
officialdom, and Oriental ideas of finance.
Large sums of money and vast labor
were expended; yet the Barrage failed
and its failure so discouraged the
Egyptian government that the whole
question was dropped.
From time to time suggestions were
put forward for damning the river or
creating great reservoirs, but the former
failure stood in the way of new efforts
In 1883 came Mr. (afterwards Sir) Wil
liam Willocks, who had had consider
able experience of irrigation works in
India. One of his first works was the
repairing of the Barrage, and the suc
cess that in 1887 attended this gave
new life to the question of reservoirs.
Schemes which might include dams
further south than Assouan were un
suitable. Some of the more important
summer crops of Egypt are incapable
of standing a ten days’ draught, anS
these crops might perish while their
supplies of water were flowing down
the river bed from too remote a reser
voir. It was important, therefore, that
a dam, and the store of water held up
by it, should be as close as possible
to the more extensive and fertile
stretches of cultivable land in the
northern country.'
Assouan seemed to be the ideal spot
where the requisite conditions could be
obtained, and in 1889 Mr. Wilcocks
went there to study the site, and his
report appeared in 1893 and 1894. An
international commission composed of
Sir B. Baker, M. Boule and Signor Tor
ricelli approved of the proposals.
But here again financial difficulties
arose; then came the Soudan rebellion,
and for four years the completed
project lay in official pigeonholes.
Among the few farseeing men who saw
clearly the immense increase in agricul
tural prosperity that would be brought
about by a reservoir and the conse
quently increased returns from taxation
was Sir Ernest Cassel. In 1898 he
came forward with the funds.
Sir B. Baker, as his consulting en
gineer, and Sir John Aird & Co., as
contractors, undertook to complete the
Assouan dam and the Assiout weir by
December, 1903. The Egyptian govern
ment, advised by Sir William Garstin,
accepted the offer; the official founda
tion stone was laid by the Duke of Con
naught on February 12, 1899, and the
work was completed by December, 1902,
a year in advance of th e time agreed
upon, at a cost of nearly $12,500,000.
As originally designed the dam would
have meant the submergence, for sev
eral months in each year, of the Tem
ples of Philae, which stand on an island
just above it, and to avoid this anti
quarian catastrophe the plans were mod
ifled in 1898.
The Assouan dam is approximately
from the interruptions formerly caused
by parching at tile period of low Nile
and submersion in flood time.
end the feud, if the men who did the
killing are convicted. But the clans
men know better. A jury could as
easily change the ordained courses of
the stars or regulate the tides as
quiet the elemental passions of the
vendetta, that run on from generation
to generation, with their heritage of
hate from long forgotten causes.
And little Hargis? He accepts his
heritage, just as he accepts his re
semblance to his father, and as he ac
cepts his religion, and the politics of
the Callahan clan.
"I expect to get even for all this
some day,” he says, with a snap of
his jaws and a cold, straight look from
his childish, steel-gray eyes.
An& Hargis can already shoot
straight!
In the court room, behind the law
yers for the prosecution, sits Mrs. Lil
lian Callahan Gross, a daughter of Ed
Callahan. She is a graduate of a
woman’s college. It was she who, to
track down her father’s slayers, rode
through the mountains day and night
for two weeks after Ed Callahan was
killed.
And she is fighting to break the spell
of destiny that has already placed its^
claim upon the child, her brother.
"I am in this fight for the women of
Breathitt county,” she said. “The men
fight, but the women suffer. It’s about
time the feud came to an end.
“I want to make Breathitt county so
safe that no wife or mother in the
county will have to worry when her
husband or son goes out of doors.
“I am doing this to save my little
brother. He already has that hate in
his heart. He understands. Our chil
dren get these hates, early. They pass
on from father to ison. It’s so ter
rible! Our children are so helpless!
They draw the feud spirit in with their
breath.
“I intend to take my brother away
from Breathitt county. I am planning
to send him to the Masonic home at
Louisville. I am going to try to edu
cate the feud out of him.
“Oh, I know how hard it will be.
It’s fighting fate—that’s what it is. But
a start must be made somewhere and
some time. I’ll do my best, and then if
the feud keeps on it won’t be my
fault.”
John Stone, an old man from the
mountains, wagged his head.
“It can't be done,” he said, “It’s in the
blood. There is no end in sight for the
feud. If these men now on trial are
convicted the feud will be checked for
a while and then their friends will take
it up.

Your Money
1MERICAN FENCE has always been the economical
fence. Now it’s a better investment than ever. The
same superior steel (open hearth or Bessemer), the
same big, stiff wires—but the galvanizing is even better
than ever, being heavier, more permanent, giving
added insurance against rust. Investigate American Fence. Note
the prices and you’ll do some fencing this^year.
