C., Dec. 18.—Late this afternoon the Government made' public the full text of the note of! Austria in reply to the note of the United States relating to the sinking of the Ancona. It attracted small at tention for the reason fli.it its con tents had been fully forecasted both here and in Europe. The official text reveais that the j Vienna government denies that the I views presented by the United States! even if correct, warrant the blame for | the disaster being placed upon the! commander of the submarine. The reply denies also that blame can be placed upon the Austro-Hun- ] garlan government even if "a most j rigorous legal construction were ap plied to the judgment of the case." The note also states that the Austro- Hungarian government is unable to determine what the United States in tended to Indicate when it mentioned the attitude which Germany had as sumed toward submarine warfare. It adds that if the United States intend ed to express an opinion to the effect that a prejudice of whatever nature existed with respect to "Judicial con sideration" of the affair the Vienna government declares that it reserves to itself "full freedom of maintaining its own legal view." It was agreed seemingly in official ! quarters that the official text did not minimize a realization of the gravity of the situation which was impressed on officials by the unofficial cables, but it also was apparent that the door to further negotiations was not closed. While the State Department was making the note public. President Wilson was at work in his study on J the outline of a reply which will go forward some time next weelt. H.L.HORTONIS DEAD AT N. Y.

GORGAS COOL ON BRIDGE EXPENSE "Waste of Money" If State Means to Disapprove of Plans He Says I The coolness of City Commissioner W. L. Gorgas, superintendent of fin ance toward the Lynch ordinance pro viding for an expenditure of $1,500 to secure plans for the new Walnut street bridge, and the introduction by City Commissioner Harry F. Bowman, superintendent of public safety, of Mayor-elect Meals' ordinance estab lishing a city detective bureau— caused the only ripples on the other wise smooth surface of Council's ses sion yesterday afternoon. Mr. Gorgas flatly declared that he doesn't think the city should spend $1,500 to obtain plans for a bridgo which will likely be disapproved of by the State authorities. "It looks like a needless expenditure of the city's money to me," said Mr. Gorgas. "Isn't there some way that the opinion of the Public Service commission may be ob tained without going to the expense of preparing plans?" Mr. Bowman ex plained that the only way the State Commission could act o nthe matter was to pass oon plans and specif ications. The ordinance was finally passed. The detective bureau measure au thorizes the creation of the bureau and fixes the salary of the chief of captain at $1,500. Mayor Meals said his Idea is to have the bureau contain a cap tain and one detective. The captain of detectives by the way will rank higher than the police captain as he will be an assistant to the chief and will till the chief's job when the latter is absent. Alderman William L. Wind sor, Jr., will be recommended for the captaincy. Rumor had it that In time the bureau wil consist of two reg ular detectives at SBS per month and three plain clothes men at $75 per month.

SAY KEEFER TOOK ESTATE'S PAPERS Fellow Heirs Bring Action In volving Close to SIOO,OOO m volvtnK Hit' titles in wns b «Sf" this inorn '"B 'n the Dauphin —ntvr county court when suit was brought by il (I iPrar UHn °t n| i«^l>uri can, this Wash., and Caroline , Duncan Palmer, lowa, against Horace A. Keefer. to com pell the latter to produce the quit claims and releases on the properties left by Major John B. Keefer, father of all the litigants. The date for argu ment will be fixed by the Court in a few days. The plaintiffs allege that Horace Keefer released his claim on the prop erty which they hadinherited butbefore the claims could be recorded he "sur reptitiously and without consent of the owners" obtained possession of the papers. The absence of these papers, the -plaintiffs contend, prevented their selling the properties because of lack of a clear title. The properties in ques tion include a seventy-foot front lot in North Front street; properties in other parts of the city, in Hummelstown, Venango, Clarion and other counties.

V DECEMBER 18, 1915. STRIKES Hll'll OIL POOI. * Since this advertisement was * * first published one of our deep • * wells on our big Cushing propert- * ty has developed a rieli producer • " •« the Wlieeler mind. * MAY IIEAX HKAI. UIIBHRRS IX THE HHHHKH .HAND This well at this depth Is a bis: sur prise to everyone and is proof that we have a rich property. The rule has been in the great Cushing field that usually under the YVheeler sand wells the great gushers have been found by deeper drilling. 160 feet more should 0110 klg producing sand, while jOO feet should reach the second. Our rhances are good now to soon have from 6,000 to 7,000-barrel wells. Our other Cushing well should reach the deep pay within ten to thirty days. \\ ben all are completed a great pro duction is assured. We have put up tankage made six more loebtions and completed the extension of our exempted pipe line to this valuable property. At little cost We can now pump this high grade oil to both our Tulsa and Cherry vale re fineries. Tliis Hushing oil is now worth about gl.iio per barrel at our Tulsa refinery and about Wl.tm per bar rel at our Cherry vale refinery. The Indications are good that within a short time this Cushing crude will be worth per barrel at our Tulsa re finery and 92.r>0 per barrel at our Cherry vale refinery. From Hherryvale we have advantageous shipping "rates to lowa, Nebraska, Northern Missouri and Kansas and other States north and east. Hnder these conditions this real oil stock will probably be ad vanced lo to 75 per rent, oil December —lf not all sold by that date. A 10,- 000-barrcl production will soon pay stockholders more than tliev need now remit to own the stock, and such a production may be actually secured within a few weeks, with room around our present wells for over one hun dred producers in the different sands on this rich Cushing property alone. Years of determined and successful work and over Two Millions in cash has finally completed in the Cherrv vale and Tulsa districts this great in dependent company, until a little good luck, that ran be expected within a few days, should fill for our refineries our 111,1 miles of pipe line to capacity with this rent liquid gold. We have our own distributing sta tions, tank cars and tank wagons and automobile trucks, and a sales organi zation that reaches the people direct and can cash every barrel at a high price. At one of our deep i 'uxhlng lo cation* we have been at work for nearly live months and should certain ly reach the deep pay on or before Wednesday. Heceniber -I>. Also at a new well on our big Ranch Creek lease in Pawnee County we have developed over one hundred feet of deep Bartlesville sand and proved up a district larger than the Rich Boston oil pool—with oil wells and deep tests containing oil or gas 011 all sides. We are now drilling in the heart of this big property where from 200 to 2,000- barrel wells may be expected. SHIP WAR GOODS OF $875,599,403 U. S.
