important events, the six new bishops j apostolic commission, followed l»y the
recently appointed by the pope to fill va-
cant dioceses in the province of St. Paul,
of which Archbishop Ireland is metropoli-
tan, Vere consecrated today.
The ceremony took place on the
grounds am! in the chape! of Kt. Paul s
seminary on the high bluff al the west-
ern limits of St. Paul, overlooking the
Mississippi river. The bishops conse-
crated were:
Hev. James ' (/Reilly of Minneapolis,
bishop of Fargo, N. D.
Rev. John J. Lawler, cathedra I of St.
Paul, auxiliary bishop of the archdiocese
of St. Paul.
Rev. Patrick R. Heffron, rector of St.
Patti's seminary, bishop of Winona,
Minn.
Rev. Timothy Corbett of Duluth, bishop
of Crookston, Minn.
ReV. Vincent Wchrle of the Benedic-
tine order and ah)H>tt «»f the monastery
at fUcherdton, N. T>., bishop of Bis-
marck, N. I>.
Rev. Joseph F. Busch, head of the
missionary band in the archdiocese of Ht.
Paul, bishop of Lead. S. I>.
Archbishop Ireland was the eonsecra-
tor. and was assisted by Bishop James
MeOolrick of Duluth, and Rev. James
Trobec of St. Cloud. Minn. Uev. Francis
Schaelhr was master of ceremonies.
Event of Great Moment.
As an event of great moment in ‘be
Catholic church, it is said by eccle-
siastics to have been overshadowed but
once in modern times when the pope
himself cqyrsecratcd fourteen new French
bishops, and in the Cnited Htatex tiie
only ceremony which approximated It in
significance was when Archbishop Ire-
land consecrated Bishops Shnnley, Me-
Golrick and Cotter at the same time.
Under the direction of Rev. Father
Schaefer, the procession of about 800
priests and 150 seminarians, formed on
the southern sld£ of the spacious
grounds, presented u striking appearance
as ft wended its way underneath ilie
great oak trees to St. Mary’s chapel,
where the consecration ceremonies were
held.
Following the priests, came the
bishops, then the bishops-elect, and last
the archbishops, all in the robes of their
office.
An immense gathering of the laity wit-
nessed the procession, but owing to the
fact that the chapel had seating capacity
for only the priests, the public was not
taking of the oufb and the examination
the latter made almost in the same lan-
guage prescribed by the count il of Carth-
age. During the examination the bishops
elect professed categorically their belief
In the different matters of faith which
have, been particularly attacked by her-
etics, especially the doctrine of Incarna-
tion,
These preliminaries having been duly
observed, the solemn Intoning of the mass
was begun, the consecrator and bishop-
elect simultaneously lutokcriing their
faith. During the ceremony the plain
chant was Intoned by the seminarians.
At the conclusion of the consecration
ceremony proper, the new bishops were
Invested with the crosier and ring neces-
sary to the* episcopal order* accompanied
with prayers ami admonitions.
The mass then proceeded with the
consecrator and new bishops celebrating
it in unison at tHe same alt^r. Then
came the pc ringing of communion, *• huh
was followed by the investiture of thg
mitre and gloves previously blessed by
the consecrator with much pomp. While
the Te Deurn was intoned, the new
bishop was en til roned in the episcopal
scat. Later he was led between the two
assistant bishops around the church,
blessing the congregation as lie passed
along.
The final act of the ru.hcti.ori was the
bestowal of the kiss of peace by the con*
secrator. The sermon during the conse-
cration was delivered by Righop O-Gor-
man of Sioux Falls, ,S. 1» After the
eeffmony the archbishop, the bishops and
all the priests were nerved with dinner
under the trees on the seminary grounds.
A public reception was arranged for to-
night. permitting friends of the new'
bishops an opportunity to offer congratu-
lations. *•

DECLARED BEST ALL-ROUND
LUBRICANT IN EXISTENCE
Oil from Shallow Wells at Toyah Needs No Refining
Whatever—Action of State Land Commis-
soner Proves Handicap.
BY CHARLES A. DINSMORE Times’ Special Staff Correspondent.
Toyah, Tox., May 1 f>. f
The oil secured from the shallow |
wells in the Toyah field is the best. ,
all round lubricant in existence, with- i
out any refining whatever One of
the engineers' on » passenger run out !
of Toyah became enthusiastic over !
the oil more than six months ago. He
secured some of it. and began using '
it in some of the less Important cups
on the engine, then In the more im-
portant and now for several months
he has Ixten using this crude oil sole-
ly in two of the most important sup-
ply cups for the machinery and h“
says that It is better than the finest
oil furnished by the Texas & Pacific
company for these highclass ami
speedy locomotives. I rather believe
that the oil in the deep well was
nearly this same grade; and I surely
believe that the field will be a pro-
ducer of high grade oils.
Decision a Handicap. •
In all the work that has been done
In this field there has, of lute, been
a handicap, and a serious one, put on
by the state. The state land com-
missioner, Mr. Robison, acted entire-
ly within his rights, according to the
law and passed by the legislature, in
increasing the minimum and maxi-
mum of prices on the lands. He, how-
ever, takes the stand that the lands
arc proven mineral bearing (oil be-
ing classed as a mineral for such pur-
poses) and that therefore the year's
time granted by the law should be
abrogated. The general opinion is
that this decision is extremely high-
handed. and it certainly appears to
arrogate to himself powers vested
solely in the legislature. The three-
foot-square piece of ground on which
the Producers company put down the
firat deep well la proven ground, but
that Is all. To say that even the
shallow wells prove the ground to
the extcEt tbat twelve months of. ex-
ploratory time should not be given
prior to any cash payment U arbitrary
and wholly outside the meaning of
the law because, of course, to be
proven mineral-bearing necessarily
means that the mineral is valuable
from a commercial point of view. The
shallow well* could not be operated
at a profit, (because they are very
seam producers, even If the oil is
highgrade. 'She decision of the land
V
commissioner that one-fifth must be
paid on application for the land works
a hardship on the general public.
There is—and there must be—some
degree of speculation in matters of
this kind. If capital enters the Toyah
field intending to develop oil if it is
there, It ought to he given the oppor-
tunity without a single hampering
Item. To compel these people, to pay
one-fifth on ground that might not
be worth anything at all is wrong.
There is general belief that within
a certain area, embracing a number
of blocks, the land is valuable oil
bearing: but nobody knows this—nol
even Mr. Robison. There art! people
who think the Producers company is
pleased at this, because that com-
pany knows what Is at depth abso-
lutely. Put the manager of the pro-
ducers company told me personally
that his company was willing to pay
even the maximum formerly asked
on land, but that the raise .was un-
warranted and detrimental to the dis-
trict, and that the abrogating of the
one-year prospecting rule of the legis-
lature would tend to retard the devel-
opment of the field. So it seems as
though the action of the commission-
er was detrimental as well as arbi-
trary, and that tills action has no one
as apologist.
Opinion* on Inspector Question.
The action of the district judge of
the county in appointing a supervisor
Is a matter calling forth very diverse
opinions. Some are of the opinion
that It Is as well to have dope this
now as at a later time. But in con-
versation with one of the bankers at
Toyah I learned that a good many—
and lie among them—rather thought
that the action was taken by the
judge upon representations by virtual-
ly interested parties and prior to his
thorough investigation. It was ex-
plained that this plight have been the
way of ftr There are people who
would give a good deal to know ex-
actly what is in the sealed well at
Toyah. The Judge didn't know any-
thing at all about, this. And these
people went before the judge and
staled the case, and that the best In-
terests of the -district demanded that

STATEHOOD ONE
CONCESSION ASKED
Washington. May 1!>. — Beginning
the day with a fair prospect of an
agreement between the "regular" Re-
publicans and the Democrats which
would permit an early vote upon the
railroad bill, the senate concluded tae
session in as great uncertainty as it
has been at any time on that and all
other points.
The day was full of ccnsultationa
and front the hour of meeting at noon
the situation shifted nvanv times.
When adjournment was taken shortly
after 4 o'clock, there was more talk
of an understanding between the reg-
ular Republicans unit the insurgents
than between the regulars ami the
Democrats.
Statehood Demanded.
The first reipcrts of the day Indi-
cated the strong probability that a
large majority of the Democrats, if
not all of them, would agree to accept
a proposition of the Republicans to
strike out the last three sections of
the liill relating to the capitalization
of the railroads. This arrangement
was to have carried with it the adop-
tion of an amendment presenter! by
Senator Simmons to prohihli the low-
ering of rales to destroy water
conxpcHtion, ami to give a place of
advantage to the Now Mexico and
Arizona statehood bill. In return the
Democrats were expected to vote
against most of Ane amendments to
the railroad bill offered by the in-
surgents.
When this proposition was put in
writing and Senator Johnston of Ala-
bama began to,circulate It on the min-
ority side of the chamber he met with
much opposition an I before he had
proceeded far his associates became
convinced that Tils party was by no
means unanimous for the proposed
compact
Democrats Divided,
Among those who refused to sign
were Senators Bacon. Raynor. KVa
zler. Overman and 'Smith of South
Carolina. They raised the objection
that the agreement would be con
at rued as a surrender to the "Aldrie*
Republicans" With such a large de-
fection, the movers for an agreement
practically decided before (he close of
the day to refrain from further ef-
fort In that direction.
The failure to put iltrotigli this for-
mal plan did not. however, have the
effect of causing a complete discon-
tinuance of ilu- efforts to have an
early vote. Aldrich was tin prime
mover and was busy all duv. Just
before file senate adjuorned lie ex-
pressed the opinion that some ar-
rangement would be made that would
Insure the passage of the bill soon.
Senator Hale in an open talk In the
senate said a vole should be reached
by the end of next week.

for Dr. 11 c Hyde today filed a mo-
tion for a new 1 rial for ttu-ir client.

have been admitted Into the record.
That the jurors were moved to con-
vict the physician more by pan.,Ion
and predujice than by refit ctlon on
testimony
That the court should have forced
the state to give to the defense the
letters passing between the prosecu-
tion and Its scientists

mitted and competent evidence wa
barred.

Washington, May 19.—Five speeches

Mr. Braudels asked Commissioner
Dennett |f he had authorized special
agents of the interior department to
do detective work in an effort to find
something against magazine writers
who had made attacks on Secretary
Ballinger and the land office. Mr.
Dennett said two agents, Coulter and
Hartaon. had lieeti Instructed, as a
side issue, to make gome investiga-
tions into the proposition of the
Mississippi Valley Transportation
company of Si Louis, of which J. L.
Mathews was secretary
lie said Mathews was the author
of a series of articles in Hampton's
Magazine, in which some reflections
were made on the department. The
letters of instructions sent out over
Ills signature to the two agents were
read
They had been produced from the
department files at Mr. Brandols’ re-
quest. _ .......... .
Dennett did not write them, ihe

propriety In the agents making this
