WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Charles
Forbes, in his testimony today said
that Dr. Sawyer was constantly oppos
ed to conferences of scientific consul-j
tants who came to Washington to as
sist the devising of means of caring
for disabled veterans; that he wanted
all patients housed together and that
he insisted that homeopathic doctors
be given the same opportunity to treat
the cases are other doctors.
He said Sawyer told him that he
was going to see that homeopathic
doctors had their innings, and always
claimed he had the authority of the
President for everything.
"I can say frankly,” said Forbes,
"that Sawyer exercised more author
ity around Washington than any sen
ator and he got away with it, by hav
ing Harding’s confidence. I do not
believe the Veterans* Bureau will
function effectively until there is a
change in the system. There must be
more than one man to direct it and an
unbiased, non-partisan board should;
run it.”
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 23.—In
response to questions Forbes said he
was a naturalized citizen, and admit
ted an altercation with Mortimer on
Labor Day last year, which might
have been about Mrs. Mortimer. It
was revealed that Mortimer found
him and Mrs. Mortimer alone in an
apartment, the door of which Forbes
declared was wide open. He admitted
he had given a $3000 position as me
chanical engineer to George Tullido,
22-vear-old brother of Mrs. Mortimer, j
John F. O’Ryan, general counsel for;
the Senate veteran’s committee, was
deeply stirred by Forbes' charges of
bias by the committee. He announced
That he expected to prove convincing-;
)y that Forbes was one of a gang of
conspirators tied together to defraud
The government. He said, “I expect to
show further that this criminal con-;
duct is in consonance with the pre-;
vious life record of Forbes.”

IDENTIFYING LANDS
FOR OIL PERMITS
The General Land Office recently
sent out instructions relative to the
identification of lands in Alaska, and.
amending circulars Nos, 672 and 846
as follows:
Owing to the difficulties encounter
ed in the adjustment of conflicting
claims for oil prospecting permits un
der the leasing act of February 25,
1920, for unsurveyed land in Alaska,
Sec. 4d of the regulations of March 11
1920, (47 L. D. 437), Circular No. 672
and Sec. 2c of Circular No. 845, ap
proved August 12, 1922, (49 L. D., 247)
are modified to make the following re
quirements.
Where Permits Have Not Issued
1. All applicants must hereafter de
scribe lands with reference to true
cardinal directions and in cases where
applications have heretofore been
made and can conform to such direc
tions without prejudice to valid inter
vening claims said applications must
be amended to conform to true cardi
nal directions
2. In order to permit adjustment
of conflicts the claims of all conflict
ing applicants must be identified with
reference to a common monument
which can be definitely ascertained
and located upon the records and
plats in this office.
1 hese conflicting claims fall into
two general classes: (a) Those in
volving lands located in the vicinity of
the public land surveys; (b) those
involving lands which are removed
from such surveys.
The following regulations are pre
scribed for the designation oi these
lands in applications for prospecting
permits;
(a) In all cases where circum
stances permit, applicants for pros
pecting permits for unsurveved lands
must describe the lands applied for by
metes and bounds connecting such de
scription by courses and distances to
some monument of an approved pub
lic land survey.
The point of reference utilized may
be the initial monument erected by
another applicant who has described
said monument by courses and dis
tances with reference to a public sur
vev monument, provided the location
of said monument has been definitely
established with reference o the pub
lic land survey.
In such case, however, the location
of the adopted monument, with re
spect to such public land survey mon
ument must be stated or the field
notes or calculations by which the lo
; cation of the applicant’s initial monu
ment with reference to the public sur
vey monument was obtained, must be
furnished.
(b) In cases where there are 11c
available public land survey monu
ment, must be stated or the field notes
or calculations by which the location
of the applicant’s initial monumenl
with reference to the public survej

ment was obtained, must be furnished.'

available public land survey monu-i
ments the applicant for permit must
describe the land by metes and bounds
designating the location of his initial
monument by courses and distances,
with reference to sues permanent
monuments as will enable this office

cords and maps. A plat or chart il-;
lustrating the location of said monu
ment will aid in a determination of its
location.
3. An applicant for permit must:
state, under oath, whether his appli-j
cation is for any lands described in
any prior application, or in any no

4. Numerous permits have been
issued for unsurveyed land in cases!

termine whether conflicting claims!
existed, or the extent of apparent
conflicts, upon the following condi
tions:
“This permit is granted upon the
express condition that the permittee
will adjust any conflict with any prior
applicant within six months from date
hereof."
In many cases where conflicts have
apparently existed the permittees
have failed to comply with this con
dition. Any extension of time for be
ginning or completing drilling opera
tions, granted pursuant to the act of
January 11, 1922 (42 Stat. 844), does
not extend the time for compliancej
with the foregoing condition and’
these permits are subject to cancella
tion for default in this respect.
5. All permittees who have receiv
ed permits upon the foregoing condi
tions and are in default must, within
90 days from receipt of this notice,
submit:

tiation of a claim to a permit, and

i the initial monument of the prior
! claimants, clearly indicating that such
conflicts do not exist; or
1 (b) Their affidavits showing an ad
1 justment of these conflicts or such ef
I fort as was made to procure one,
I which must be accompanied by such
I amended descriptions with reference
to the Initial monuments of the prior
' conflicting claimants as will enable
• this office to make such final adjudi
| cation or rights as the facts may war
} rant.
I (c) In the case of conflicting
claims simultaneously initiated the
' claimants must furnish a description
) with reference to a public survey
| monument if possible, but if no such
monument is available the parties
must furnish amended descriptions
with reference to a common monu
ment.
7 iou will examine ail applica
tions for prospecting permits and re
quire compliance with Sections 1 and
2 hereof, within nienty days from no
tice in cases where such applications
do not comply therewith, transmit
ting said applications in due course
with a report as to the action taken.
These regulations will be given the
widest publicity possible.
These regulations are signed by
William Spry. U. S. Land Commis
sioner.
