NO ATTENTION TO REFINERY
LETS THE TULSA PLANT RUST IN
IN THE SUN—NO ATTEMPT *
HAS EVER BEEN MADE
TO OPERATE IT
The sale of $20,000 worth of oil by
the receiver of the Uncle Sam Oil Co..
J. C. O. Morse, puts the company in
good shape. This is enough within
a few dollars to pay fifty per cent
of the outstanding obligations of the
corporation. According to the receiv-
er’s own statement Issued some days
ago, the total indebtedness of the com-
pany was S41.9PP.46. The $20,000 re-
ceived from the sale of oil would re-
duce this to $21,000.45 if the money
Is applied to the payment of debts.
But this is not at all certain because
if the receiver should exert himself
to pay the debts of the corporation he
wnuld soon be out of a job and who-
ever heard of a receiver trying to work
himself out of a job? About the flrgt
thing the receiver will do will be to
find some way of paying his own com-
missions and other tilings and let the
creditors drift along.
Though the recehership has been in
force for three months tomorrow there
has been no effort made to operate
the Tulsa refinery. The receiver was
appointed to take charge of and ojier-
ate all of the properties of the compa-
ny. He has been aski-d frequently to
put a price on the Tulsa plant as there
are a numln-r ot p<->ple here with mon
ey to buy it I 'it he has refused to sell
it. Tile Tulsa plant is lying idle in
the sun and the stills are rusting out.
Three dollars worth of paint would
have saved the stills and might save
them yet, and the receiver’s attention
was called to this but he has, as yet,
paid absolutely no attention to the
Tulsa end of the company. He came
her.- for an insiiection of the property
and remained over between trains, but
that is all the attention he has shown
Tulsa.
The receivership could be wound up
in short order if the receiver would
sell the Tulsa plant and this he could
do in twenty-four hour*. It Is out of
the question for the receiver to <>|>er-
ute the Tulsa plant for the reason no
producer Is going to sell crde to a re-
finery except on *lobg time contracts
arid the receiver is not authorised to
make any such contracts. There again
the receiver would have money to pay
off all the creditors and have a cash
balance left and again he would have
no excuse for holding on to the job.
Mr Tucker Is issuing reports to the
stockholders showing that he has the
money to |tay the debts of the con-
cern and is willing to pay them and
will |>ay them. But the court will not
vacate the receivership and now Tuck-
er has to wait on the tedious course
of an apis-al to the higher courts for
vindication. In his statement Tucker
shows that the assets of the com-
pany are more than fifteen times Its
liabilities and the receivers report
shows the same thing The contention
Is that before there l* a receivership
there must be bankruptcy and before
there can be bankruptcy there must
be insolvency, and that a concern with
fifteen limes more assets than liabili-
ties cannot be insolvent nnd cannot,
by any technical language, be made
Insolvent as long as tjie assets are tan-
glide and real Mill the courts have
declared the company a bankrupt and
the matter Is up «>n appeal to the
Untied Mates court of appeal*.
Not only ha* the receiver neglected
and failed to properly take care of
the Tulsa refinery ami to operate II,
but he has also failed to operate the
pipe line north of Cherry vale to a
point on the Missouri Pacific In John-
son county, Kansas, some nine miles
in length. This pipe line Is lying In
the ground; It Is not patrolled or In-
spected and some of it may be gone for
all anybody knows Tucker built It
and left It In good condition.
From the way the receiver and the
referee are delaying things there Is no
hope on the part of the friend* of the
Uncle 8am OH Company for an early
dissolution of the receivership. The
meeting of the creditors for the se-
lection of a trustee, which should have
been held In thirty days, has been
called for August 26th and may he
t*>st|sined If it should be ascertained
that the creditors are trying to assist
the company to get on Its feet and
reorganlie.

TO INVESTIGATE
W. E. JOHNSON TO GIVE EXPERT
TESTIMONY AGAINST INDIANS
IN GOVERNMENT CASE
MUSKOGEE, I. T„ July 2*—Wm. E.
Johnson, spqpial officer of the Interior
department, will probably leave for
Arapaho, Okla., to give expert testi-
mony In the case against the Indians
for growing and eating the mescal
bean.
Johnson has made a study of the
bear,, its grow th, its effect and his tes-
timony will be the strongest for the
government.
Recently the Indians near Arapaho
Indulged In a mescal bean feast, be-
coming intoxicated and the Indian
agent there had them arrested. As a
defense they will swear that the weed
which they ate and which produced'
the intoxication was not mescal bean,
but peyote.
Mr. Johnson says the mescal beun Is
not a bean, but grows like u carot and
resembles that Vegetable. On top of
the weed is a button or tuft which the
Indluns cut off and chew. This tuft tg
called the bean. The chewing of this
creates Intoxication similar to the use
of cocaine. The Indian eats one of the
beans and while It makes him see
things h» holds another up in Ills hand
and talks to It. The bean In the In-
dian’s hand, the latter believes, makes
him see. hear anil feel things produced
by the mescal which he has eaten.
In English the bean Is known as a
“mescal" and In Sjinnlsh us “peyote.”
The wed is not grown in < tklahoma ex-
tensively. It was brought to this coun-
try by the Indians of the southwest
years ago.
The growing and eating of mescal by
the Indians Is considered against the
lews of the United States, but there Is
•nly one statute against it and that Is
n force in Oklahoma. This law Is
questionable and may be proven to be
unconstitutional.
Some time ugo the announcement
that John Stink, an Indian outcast of
the Osage tribe, would move off the
< >sag« reservation and grow mescal ore
ated considerable comment and the old
Indian was closely watched bv agents
o ft he government.

FOR MAGILL
THE BANKER WILL BE HELD
SAYS THE ATTORNEY
FOR THE STATE
Clinton, 111., July 20.—“I have in my
possession evidence that will result in
the holding of Fred H. Magill and Fay
Magill to the grand Jury for murder.”
Mate’s Attorney Miller made this
statement to duy a few hours after
his return from Pueblo, Col., where he
had decided not to continue the Jour-
ney to San Diego, but to return to this
city and prepare his evidence for the
preliminary hearing of the ex-banker
and alleged wife murderer.
“Magill and his wife will be ar-
raigned immediately on their arrival
in Clinton,” he added. "There may be
a night session of court. The Magllls
undoubtedly will demund that they be
allowed to give hall, but the Mate will
resist this.”
Mr. Miller said that he had decid-
ed to return at Pueblo because he had
received u message there from Chief
Moulton of Ran Diego informing him
that Magill would return without ex-
tradition and that the letters left by
Mrs. Pet Magill had been seised by
the authorities.
Sheriff Campbell and his prisoners
are expected In Clinton July 23. They
will arrive at night.
Dr. J. C. Myers made a statement
today that his examination of Mrs.
Magill * heart, brain and lungs strong-
ly support.-d the theory of death by
chloroform, which is the suicide the-
ory.

0AMAGE8 AGAINST THE
MISSOURI SHERIFF
Hobart. O. T , July 20—H. H. Grave*
sheriff of Macon county, Mo. who yes-
terday startled Hobart by urt'cstlng W.
P. Davidson, a prominent < Itlzen, chart
ing him with a murder committed In
Missouri twenty-seven years ago. hat
left the city without his prisoner.
Groves, after making himself odious
by delivering orations to crowds on
the street* all day yesterday, claiming
tlmt Davidson wus the man wanted,
and claiming that he knew him person-
ally, at 5 o'clock turned Davidson loose,
hid out for fear of u lawsuit till the
first train out of Hobart, und then
left the cl\y
Graves wus so sure he had the
man wanted that at one time whil«
standing in the center of u motley
crowd of 100 men and boys, he offered
to wager $100 to $10 that he had the
sight man. but when “railed” he said,
"1 aint got the money with me.”
Graves made a proposition to Davidson
and his attorney. Frank Boctello, that
he would deposit with the sheriff of
Kiowa county enough money to de-
fray the expense* of Davidson und his
attorney to Missouri and return, but
when “called” on that line he said,
"Maybe I'd better wait I’m sure I ni
right.”
After Graves had given Davidson his
freedom, patters were drown In a suit
for $4,000 against the sheriff, and of-
ficers were at all outgoing trains this
morning, but Graves had decided that
Missouri was a more congenial climate
than Oklahoma, and was not to be
found.
Graves yesterday telegraphed for re-
quisition p.iIters, but received a tele-
gram tothe effect that no I tatters would
be Issued
The identification of Davidson was
made complete this morning, when
Lem O. l-ytle, of Roosevelt, arrived In
the city and stated that he had known
Mi. Davidson since he was a boy and
that ha lived with him at Kdd.vville.
Fa., during the year of the Missouri
trouble. Mr. Lytle says that he also
was acquainted with the father of
Itayldson and was present at the time
of his marriage in 1*76 under the
name of Davidson.

HAWLfcY GUKIIMJES
HIS ARGUMENT
EXCITING BATTLE OF WORDS
PARTICIPATED IN BY THE
TWO ATTORNEYS.
Bose, July 20.—In the Haywood trial
this morning Hawley continued his ar-
gument for the prosecution taking up
the matter of the attempted assassina-
tion of Governor Peabody. Hawley
repealed much of the tantimony of
Orchard as to the plans he and Stev*
Adams laid to kill the governor.
Orchard's testimony was amply cor-
roborated, the counsel declared.
Hawley precipitated exciting battle
of words with Ularence Harrow of the
defense.
"If," said Hawley, "there was a word
•f truth In Orchard's testimony as to
attempts on Peabody, who of all men
was the best witness to testify, a man
who is now la the basement of this
building, a man who has stuod in es-
teem of leaders of Western Federation
of Miners second only to Orchard,
Steve Adams. The prosecution brought
this man to Boise so he could bq used
by the defense If It so desired.”
"I object to that," shouted Darrow.
It is an ubsolute untruth as the coun-
sel well knows and there Is no such
record in this case.”
"If you say that what 1 have stated
is an untruth,” replied Hawley In au-
ger. "you utter a deliberate falsehood "
Harrow renewed objection and then
Judge Wood took hand. He said he
would Instruct the Jury to disregard
all statements made by counsel not
borne out of evidence.
