ACTING GOVERNOR FILSON PRO-
CLAIMS A WEtK'S HOLIDAY
PLAN FOR CLOSING BUSINESS
Officials Called to Washington to
Consult Attorney General
MUSKOGEE: Upon request of At-
torney General Bonaparte. Leo E.
Bennett, marshal of the Western dis-
trict, has gone to Washington for a
conference relative to what shall be
done with the vast volume of federal
business now in the hands of the fed-
eral offcials of Indian Territory and
Oklahoma.
The judge; , d ;rict attorneys, mar-
shals and clerks in Indian Territory
and Oklahoma have received instruc-
tions from the department of justice
to submit immediately a complete
statement of the business they have
on hand .and their opinion of the
best method of transferring it under
statehood.
A request has been made for four
special inspectors from the depart-
ment of justice to be sent to Indian
Territory, one for each district, with
instructions to advise the federal of-
ficials what to do. In some of the
districts there has not been a thor-

OKLAHOMA CITY: C H. Filson,

declaring the six days from October
29 to November 2 legal holidays, thus
suspending maturity of contracts. All
banks in the state are closed aa a con-

CABINET GOES OVER FINANCIAL
SITUATION—PROSPECTS ARE
MUCH BRIGHTER
WASHINGTON: President Roose
velt was In conference with all the
members of his cabinet except Seen
tary Taft for more than two hours
Tuesday. The financial situation wis
under consideration.
Secretary Cortelyou although ad-
verse to making any public statement
on the subject, views the situation
with far greater equanimity than at
any time during the last ten days.
During the last seven days he ha
deposited in the national banks a sum
approximating $r>o,000,0000, and sine
early in September, when the seer-
tary began his weekly distributions,
nearly $70,000,000 have been deposited
which brings the amount of public
funds now in the national banks up
to over $215,000,000.
The fact developed during the cab!
net meeting that the president has
placed upon Secretary Garfield the
for one day and not over $200 for a
week. This means that no currency
was to be shipped to country banks.
As most of the Oklahoma banks de-
pend upon Kansas City and St.. Louis
for their supply of currecy for han-
dling the moving crops many bankers
feared this move might drive their
banks to the wall and prevailed upon
the acting governor to issue the proc-
lamation declaring a legal holiday for
pix days. The dra'.u on the deposits,
with everything going out and nothing
coming in, might embarrass the banks
so they all agreed to close their doors
until matters at Wall street would
become settled.
There is hardly a bank doing busi-
ness in the country that has cash
enough on hand to meet " a run" and
with things astir in the east as they
are at present a general demand for
money was likely to have been made
at any time.
This action of the banks will have
a telling effect upon business gener-
ally. but it may last for only a few
days and probably before the readers
of this paper can have a chance to
read this business will be resumed
and all banks doing business

NO USE FD3 THE MONEY
FUNDS SENT BY SECRETARY
CORTELYOU LAYING IDLE
WASHINGTON: There are indica
tions that cause Secretary Cortelyou
to be convinced that the time has
passed when there is special need for
deposits of public funds in the agri-
cultural regions of the west and
south. The secretary has placed funds
in the western and southern banks as
an aid to the moving of the wheat,
corn, cotton and tobacco crops.
The indications are that this has
had a tendency, recently at least, to
encourage the holding of crops for
appointed in the new state of Okla
homa. The secretary is giving most of
his time to that duty.
COTTON QUARANTINE LAWS
Oklahoma Board of Agriculture Con
templates New Boundaries
GUTHRIE: The Oklahoma board
of agriculture is contemplating a
change in its cotton quarantine regu-
lations at its next meeting. The pres-
ent regulations prohibit the shipping
of cotton or other cotton products
from any part of Texas into Oklaho
ma. A number of oil mills in Okla-
homa are asking permission to ship
in cotton seed from towns in the
northern section of the Texas pan
handle, but it is impossible to do so
under the present regulations. The
board believes that it if not light to
prevent the shipment of cotton into
Oklahoma from section that have
never been visited by the b >11 weevil.
The report of Prof. W. I). Hunter,
government entomologist in charge
of the boll weevil investigations that
a large part of Comanche county is
infested with the boll weevil, may also
make it necessary for the board to
MURDER AND SUICIDE
Enraged Man Kills His Own Sort and
Another Man
TULSA: While in an insane rage
of jealousy, B. H. Stockwell, aged 60
years, lot and killed W. E. Campbell, i
no of the most prominent citizens of
Tulsa, killed his sleeping son, Harry,
aged 10 years, and then blew out his
own brains by placing the muzzle of
< double barreled shot-gun at the base
>f his right ear and pulling the trig-
ger.
Stockwell and his wife had trouble
in the early part of the evening and
she fled to Campbell's for protection.
On learning her whereabouts, Stock-
well took his shot-gun and going to
the door of Campbell's residence,
knocked. Mr. Campbell went to the
door and as he opened it, Stockwell
discharged both barrels of the gun
into his face, blowing his face into
an unrecognizable pulp.
Leaving Campbell's residence, he
returned to his home and going to
the bed room of his son. who was
asleep, killed him. Then stepping
into the next room, he placed the
muzzle of the gun against his own
neck and fired.
The killing seems to have been pre-
meditated. as Stockwell was heard
to say to his son. Harry, "Would you
care if you would wake up in the
morning and find your father dead?"

Investigate Oklahoma Land Fraud9
GUTHRIE: .lohn Embry. United
States district attorney, has gone to
Kagle Pass, Tex . to join the United
States senate committee, Messrs. Cur-
tis of Kansas, Teller of Colorado and
LaFollette ol Wisconsin, in the inves-
tigation of land frauds in Oklahoma,
alleged to have been committed by
persons Interested In colonizing the
Kicknpoo Indians of Oklahoma in
Coahulla province, Mexico.
Under statehood the crime against
the federal statutes of boot-legging
whisky among Indians v '11 become
practically obsolete. The traffic has
been troublesome f r years in both
Oklahoma ant' Indian Territory, most
of the defendants on the court d ek-
etg having been persons charged with
boot-legging. The federal statutes
provide that intoxicants may not be
• old to an Indian who has not taken
price of groceries. Six or seven
■years ago it was possible to employ
negro servants at reasonable prices.
Now, however, the negro servant de-
mands twice as much as was asked
in earlier years, and the cock refuses
to do the washing and the laundress
refuses to do the cooking, making
the increase about four times greater
than the original wafes.
The demand for cotton pickers, and
the high price paid for picking, en-
abling women ana even girls to make
as much in two days as -formerly they
earned in a week is largely respon-
sible for the changed condition. In
some of the larger towns in the new
state negro domestics have formed a
"union" In au effort to maintain a
scale of wages. The minimum price
is about fifteen cents au hour, in-
cluding meals. Many times it is dif-
ficulty to get domestics, even at this
price, and housewives unaccustomed
to such work, have bee.n compelled ip
many instances this fall to stand over
their own washtubs.
But a small ray cf light has shown
In the darkness, that may lead to an
abundance of reliable help at reason-
able prices. Scores of Japanese labor-
ers came to the cotton fields of Okla-
homa this fall. They are industriou
and eager to learn American ways.
A plan is under way t'> induce these
men to remain in Oklahoma during
the winter months as home servants.
Most of them have to be taught how
to do laundry work, and cook, hut
they are quick to learn, and after
being taught make admirable ser-
vants. This plan has been tried in
many Nebraska towns with success.

The contracting agent for these
Japanese in Oklahoma lives at Okla-
1: ma City, and has been nsked to es-
tablish an agency for Japanese ser-
allotment of land, and whose vants in Oklahoma.

cial situation is felt in Tulsa. All of

Negro Claims the Office

republican candidate for justice of the

t. jndi: and clerks of the election

that Ibt < Ii ctlon officers counted him

tribal relations have not been dis-
«olved. This statutes has been held
vslid in the face of a later act of
congress declaring the Indian to be an
American citizen, with the right to
vote, etc.
Practically all the Indians In Okla-
homa and Indian Territory have taken
their allotments, and with the coming
of statehood their tribal relations will
b dissolved, and their tribal govern
ments pass cut of existence. Intoxi-
cants then may be sold to Indians
without running into ths noose of
federal law.
The boot-Iep-ger will live and flourish
as in other days, however, the state.
Instead of the federal government,
being his prosecutor. Under the
terms of the enabling act, the ctate
obligates itself to enforce prohibition
in the Indian Territory portion cf the
state. The boot-legger will be there
with his contraband traffic.
Before another issue of this news
paper appears, the federal patronage
In Oklahoma undar gtatahiod may
have been dispensed by President
Roosevelt. All the candidates are in
Washington, engaged In a final strug-
gle for individual supremacy. Street
gossip Is unreliable, but at Guthrie the
air is filled with stories that seem
to carry discredit to a number of the
candidates. It would seem as if there
was no way of getting an appoint-
ment to a federal position without be
coming a suppliant to the corpora-
tions. The friends of this and that
candidates boast that they will win
because this or that railrcad company
has thrown all its influence to their
man. Even the Standard Oil company
Is alleged to be in the game.
Under the terms of the Oklahoma
constitution, guaranteeing freedom of
religious worship, It is pcssible that
a test case may arise to determine
tho validity of that portion of the
prohibition ordinance that prohibi's
the giving away of intoxicants. Th®
proceedure wuld possess extreme in
terest, whatever the result.
The pastor of a Lutheran church at
Oklahoma City has asked that this fen
ture of the constitution be laid be
fore President Roosevelt. For sacra-
mental purposes, his church use. fer
mented wine. He is of the opinlcn
that under the prohibition ordinance
it would be unlawful to administer
Ibis wine in the communion services.
This pastor protested to the Kev E.
C. Dinwiddle, at the time the prohibi-
tion crdinance was before the consti-
tutional convention, but was told by
: the Rev. Mr. Dinwiddle that no ex-
ception could be made, and that the

Democratic friends of Alva l
Niles, adjutant general of the Okla
homa National Guard, are tryI, ; tj
prevail upon C. N. Haskell, g ivernor-
elect, t • retain Niles in his pos !ion.
Niles Is keenly interested In his work,
nnd the fact that he is a republican,
and was appointed to his position by a
republican governor, may not cauao
him to be displaced by a democrat.
So many inquiries are received at
the office of the governor of Okla-
homa, concerning the legal fees that
may be charged by notaries public,
that Governor Frantz lately i med a
public letter of information. Many ot
the inquiries were complaints against
the charging of excessive fees. Gov-
ernor Frantz said:
The Fee and Salary act of 1897 is
the act fixing the compensation to
which notaries public are entitled for
services, and specifically set forth in
Sectiou 39 of Chapter 15, Session
Laws of 1S97. Section 39 reads as fol
lows. ,
For pretest and record of the same
25 cents.
For each notice of protest, 10 cents.
For certificate and seal, 25 cents.
For all other services, the same
fees as are allowed to the clerk of the
district court for like services.
The attorney general. In an opin-
i n to me under date of January 15,
1907, reaffirms an opinion by former
Attorney P. C. Simons, to the effect
that tho statute is imperative, and
that notaries must not charge fees
In excess of those fixed by Section 39
of Chapter 15, Session Laws of 1897.
In one c mplaant which recently
reached this office, It appears that a
notary charged the sum of ?4 50 pro-
test fees on a check for $10, when the
proper charge, according to the stat
ute, would have been $1.10.
Any further charging of fees un-
warranted by the statutes, by notnr
ies public will lead to a revocatlcn of
rommissions. when tho fact has been
established that any notary exceeds
the statutory fees for protesting any
instrument which It may be his duty
to protest.
The recommendation by Secretary
James R. Garfield, of a Rough Rider
to be United States agent for the
Kiowa and Comanche Indians at Ana-
darko, not only withholds the ap-
pointment of Dr. Hugh Scott, private
secretary to Governor Frank Frantz,
but gives considerable satisfaction to
a number of Scott's friends. Scott
has been in active politics long enough
to learn that the life is ono of dis-
appointment, and that a young man
who remains In it wastes both his time
and his opportunities. Scott was a
practicing physician before he be-
eame private secretary to Delogate
I! S. McGulre, and later to Governor
Frantz. His purpose has been all
