TO IMPROVE RELATIONS
New Treaties Now Sought by Japan
With All Leading Powers
Washington.—'The prompt action of
the United States senate in stamping
its constitutional seal of unqualified
approval upon the new treaty of trade
and commerce between America and
Japan brought forth comments in of-
ficial Washington Saltirday tending to
illustrate the friendship which binds
tile two countries.
Pointing out the fact that the situ-
ation argues well for the promotion of
cordial feeling, officials N Saturday
turned their attention to the next
steps necessary to make the treaty a
reality.
The real importance of the new
treaty developed when it was learned
at the Japanese embassy that the con-
vention is In fact the first of the whole
fabric of treaties to readjust Japan's
trade and commercial relations with
the great powers and even the lesser
nations with which she has built up
trade.
LAND IN BITTER STORM
St. Louis Balloonists Fail to Secure
Long Flight Record
St. Joseph, Mo.—Believing they
were still over Oklahoma, suffering
from exposure and unable to make
headway in the terrific storm that was
raging, W, A. Assman and J. M.
O'Reilly, St. Louis aeronauts in tlie
balloon Miss Sofia, landed on the farm
of Roy Gray, three miles northwest
of Cower, Mo., at 5:45 Saturday after-
noon. They started from San Antonio.
Tex., at 11:47 Friday afternoon. They
I estimate they traveled SOU mjles.
I Both men are spending the night at
I the Gray farm house and will return
! to St. Louis with their balloon.
| "We really did not know where we
I were," said Captain Assman to a re-
porter Saturday. "We thought we were
: still over Oklahoma and the snow
| sw irled around lis so rapidly we
j thought perhaps we were traveling
! backwards. We landed to get our
bearings."
TWENTY-THREE CITIES PADDED
Census Reports Were Greatly Exag-
gerated in Some Sections
Washington.—After careful investi-
! gallon of the returns and schedules by
! expert clerks in the census bureau, it
! was found necessary to correct the
population figures for twenty-three
1 cities of the United States, whose re-
turns bad been inaccurately made, or
| "padded," either intentionally or
through carelessness or error. In no
case, however, was any correction in
the population figures made without
j first conducting a careful investiga-
! tion in the city itself.
I The director states that in several
cities there seems to have been a
j deliberate conspiracy between private
I individuals and some of the special
j agents or enumerators, or both, to
| inflate, fraudulently, the census re-
turns. The census bureau lias al-
ready laid tin facts thus far ascer-
tained with regard to several cases
of "padding" before the department
of justice and other cases will shortly
be brought to its attention.

LANKFORD, COMMISSIONER
Man From Atoka Appointed to Suc-
ceed E. B. Cockrell As Commis-
sioner, and Gets an In-
crease in Salary
( Oklahoma City.
Signing the new banking bill and
appointing J. D. Lankford of Atoka, to
be state bank commissioner, vice E.
U. Cockrell, resigned several months
ago, were two official acts performed
by Governor Leo Cruce Saturday.
The new banking bill increases the
salary of the banking commissioner
from $2,500 to $4,000 a year. This is
the lirst bill of any real importance
yet passed by the legislature and pre
senled to the governor for his signa
ture at this session.
The banking bill was signed Satur-
day night at 9 o'clock, having finally
passed both houses of the legislature
and having been signed by the speaker
of tht house and the president of tlie
senate. Immediately following the
signing of the bill Governor Cruce an-
nounced the appointment of Mr. Lank-
ford to the position of bank commis-
sioner.
Auditors Report Soon
After seven weeks of work by ex-
pert auditors the report showing the
condition of the guarantee fund of
the state banks will be made March |
1. The work of auditing the report!
was begun at the suggestion of ex-
Governor Haskell before he retired j
from office. The state bankers or-j
dered the work done and it was turned
over to a committee of bankers. The
committee employed auditing experts
who caine from Kansas City and went
over all the books carefully. The rec^
ords of the Columbia Bank & Trusr
company were also examined by the
auditors. They returned to Kansas
City to prepare the report and say
it will be ready March 1.
AS TO MORTGAGE TAXATION
House Measure, Based on New York
Law, to Solve Problem
One of the most vexatious problems
in Oklahoma confronting men with
money to loan and men wanting to
borrow is the state law making mort-
gages taxable at face value as any
other property. This has resulted in
driving the borrowers out of the state
to get money, and has sent out of Okla
hoina much capital that would be in
vested in mortgages here.
The present legislature has received
petition after petition from commercial
bodies of the large Oklahoma cities
asking that mortgages be exempted
from taxation, and several bills have
been introduced to that end. None,
however, seemed to meet the constitu-
tional requirements.
A bill was introduced in the house
of representatives Wednesday that It
is believed has solved the problem. It
is based upon the New York mortgage
tax law, and was introduced here by
Speaker Durant and Representatives
Kerr, Anthony, Wright, Maxey, Japne,
Teehee, I'eebly and Vosburgh. The
sentiment of the house hud previously
been sounded, and this bill probably
will go through in the short time re-
maining.
It exempts mortgages from an an-
nual ad valorem tax and provides a
special license tax of 50 cents per $100
of face value at the time the mortgage
is recorded; thus reducing the tax to
one 5-mill payment, and then no more,
and yet keeping within the require-
ments of the state constitution on this
question.
The bill has the backing of many
bankers, real estate men and business
men generally.
GORE COMMITTEE
10 MAKE REP0R1
AGREE ON EDUCATIONAL BILL
State Banner Bill
The adoption of a state banner for
Oklahoma, in accordance with a prac-
tice which is quite general among the
older states, is proposed in a bill in-
troduced by Senator McMechan and
Representative Wright of Oklahoma
City.
The banner as proposed is to con
gist of a red field with a five-pointed
star edged with blue in the center
thereof, and with the figures "46" in1
blue in the center of the star. This
design was prepared by Mrs. W. It.'
Clement of Oklahoma City, and a ban-
ner made in accordance with it was
on exhibition at the senate chamber
Saturday as an argument in favor of
the bill.
McAlester Talks to Senate
Lieutenant Governor J. J. McAlester
became an active factor in legislation,
Wednesday, and by a speech which
was brief but wholly to the point he'
succeeded in putting the quietus to a
resolution which contemplated putting
the state into tlie coal mining business
In connection with the penitentiary at
McAlester. This is the first time in
the brief history of Oklahoma, as a
state, that a lieutenant governor has
ever made a speech on the floor of the
senate for or against a pending meas-
ure, but the speech was so effective
in this case that it is llekly to be
taken as a precedent in the future.
Edmond Normal Gets Money
The hill by Senators Colville and Mc-
Mechan appropriating $115,000 for
buildings and equipment for the Cen-
tral Norman school at Edmond, Okla-
homa county, has passed. There was
a fight in the house over this hill but
it was passed by a safe majority and
now goes to the governoi
Stringent Amendment
By a vote of 16 to 15, the senate
Saturday voted to adopt a stringent
amendment to the Denton insurance
bill, prepared by Senators Brownlee
and Roddie. which is intened to pre-
vent absolutely tlie operation of any
rating board or "bureau for the purpose
of making iire insurance rates. It pro-
vides that in case of loss tlie insured
may recover 25 per cent more than
the face of his policy if it is shown
that tile insuring company is a mem-
ber of any tariff association or other
like organization either in or out of
this stale.
Section 9. Article 9, Up Again
A joint resolution providing for tlie
submission to the vote of the people
of a proposed amendment to the con-
stitution, section 9, article 9. was
adopted by the senate. Tills is the
section regulating railroads to which
the railroads have strenuously ob-
jected. The people voted on this
question at the last general election,
but it failed to carry. The resolution
sees to have a special election to vote
on the question.
House Committee and Governor Cruce
Get Together
At a conference held Wednesday
night between Governor I-<ee Cruce and
the educational committee of the house
of representatives, the details of a
bill giving more power to the state
board of education was agreed upon.
A sub-committee of the general com-
mittee was appointed to draft the bill
which w ill be introduced into tha house
Thursday morning.
The bill gives to the state board of
education complete and direct control
over all higher educational institutions
of the state, except the Agricultural
and Mechanical college at SUHwater.
li will do away with eleva^Biards of
stents of the other edu^^Hal insti-
tutions, placing tlie Bch< JJis j^ider one
board. The bill is said^TC have the
I complete endorsement of Governor
Cruce and to meet exactly his ideas
of the way educational institutions
should be managed.
The educational institutions which
will come under the provisions of the
bill and be affected by it are the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma at Norman, the
six state normal schools, at Edmond,
Alva, Weatherford, Tahlequah, Ada and
Tishomingo, the schools for the blind,
the boy?' and girls' industrial schools,
and the district agricultural schools.
It, is certain that the bill will be
strongly opposed by some of the
schools concerned. The state univer-
sity probably will be the leader in this
fight, as one of the chief aims of
that school has been to get away from
the other institutions in both manage
ment and financial support.
District Attorney Bill Killed
The senate to all intents and pur-
poses killed the district attorney bill
from the house when by an over-
whelming vote it defeated a motion to
withdraw that bill from judiciary com-
mittee No. 1, and place it on the sen-
ate calendar. The action was taken
without any debate or discussion.
WILL NOT SUSTAIN CHARGES
MADE BY THE SENATOR
NO MOTIVE DISCOVERED
Investigators Unable to Reach Com
mon Conclusion, But Represen-
tative Stephens Will Make
a Minority Report
Washington.- After two fruitless at
tempts to reach a common eonclusior
on the (lore charges, the Hurke inves
tigating committee adjournal to make
a third attempt to get together. Rep
resentative J. H. Stephens seems tc
be the obstreperous member of tht
minority.
The report will be a Scotch verdict
"not proven." Vice President Sher-
man, Senator Curtis and Representa-
tive Bird McGuire will be exonerated
in the majority report in any event
The employment of ex-Senator Thurs
ton of Nebraska and ex-Senator Long
will be held proper and without suspi
cion.
As the report of the majority was
originally framed and as it stood at
the time the committee adjourned oi:
Monday afternoon it tends to show
that the committee could iind 110 mo
tive for llamon'a alleged action in ap
proachicng Senator Gore or any con i
nection between Hamon and J. Frank
McMurray, the McAlester Indian attor
ney.
The report continues briefly with
the history of the relations between I
Senator CJore and Jacob Hamon anc
declares that the Lawton senator die
not seem to be overshocked by th*
bribe offer, inasmuch as he secured
the appointment of Jasper N. Perkins
the father-in-law of Jacob Hamon at
postmaster at Temple.
The majority report also refers tc
the Rowell allotment in this connection
and charges that Senator (lore also in
terested himself in this alotment at the
request of Mr. Hamon, all after the al
leged bribe offer.
Representative J. II. Stevens, oi
Texas, has drawn a minority report af
ter consulting with Senator Gore. This
report is subject to change. Mr. Stev-
ens attempted to line up Representa-
tive Saunders of Virginia, the other
democratic member of the committee !
but so far as known has not been suc-
cessful.
Instead of "not proven" Stevens de-
clares that Gore sustained every
charge made in the subsequent inves-
tigation in Oklahoma and Washington.
He will deal at great length with the
different phases of the investigation
and is particularly severe with Hamon
and McMurray.
The majority report as prepared by
Chairman Burke will probably be
signed by four members of the com-
mittee, including Saunders of Virginia,
democrat.
Victim of Night Riders Guarded
Paducah, Ky.—Guarded by soldiers,
Milton Oliver, alleged victim of night
riders, accompanied by his family,
passed through Paducah for Metropo-
lis. 111., where he will make his home.
Since Oliver was shot attd dangerous-
ly injured last May, troops have guard-
ed him. He is the witness in the night
rider cases at Hopkinsville, Ky., next
month, and state troops will escort him
there.
Uncle Sam Will Bond Employes
Washington.—The special commis-
sion appointed in 1909 to investigate
conditions surrounding the bonding of '
government employes by surety com- i
panics made its report to the house |
and senate. Its findings are in favor |
of the establishment in the treasury '
department of a "fidelity division" and 1
the creation of a bonding insurance !
fund by the government.
PRAIRIE DOGS.
"We usually write our own V1*
will let a u«er of "Rough on Rats tor
extermination <f Prairie Dogs write tins
one. Mr. H. B. Mosely, a ranchman, un-
der date of Feb. 4th, 1911, writes as fol-
lows from Hill Top, Douglas Co., Col-
orado: lie savs: "1 have read vour ad-
vertisement oi 'Rough on Rats; it not
only reads good but it is good. 1 nave
been troubled twenty years with Prune
Dogs; have used many fo-callea exter-
minators to no purpose. Not long since
1 used a poisoned wheat, prepared by an
expert w ho had made it a study for years,
but it did no good for me; they ate it, but
chirped f"r more. The 'Dogs' were eating
up a field of corn for me; I was at my
wit's end what to do; 1 could only get
the small 15c. size here of 'Rougn on
Rats.' 1 mixed it with corn and anpliedj
many of them chirped no more; I then
mixed it with corn meal and placed it
on days not windy, near their holes.
'Rough on Rats' is bv far the best thing
I have tried, but I fancy I am using it
unnecessarily strong, or you may suggest
a better way than I know to mix or use it.
I wish our druggists would keep the larg-
est (75c.) size; could you send me the 75c.
size? It clears them out in great shape;
vou should make it better known to
Ranchmen."
The above are facts as stated by Mr.
Mosely. "Rough on Rats" is equally
Rough on Prairie Dogs, Squirrels, Chip-
munks, Gophers, Rabbits, Mice. Rats—
varmints of every and all kinds, Roaches,
Flies, Ants, and Bed Bugs. Read the di-
rections how to use it safely in outbuild-
frig* nnd for the different kinds of pests.
For Prairie Dogs I would advise soaking
coarse cracked corn in a mixture of, say
one 25c. box of "Rough on Rats" to five
gallons of water; let it stand a week,
shaking frequently; you can use the same
mixture over ana over again for cracked
corn: or mix "Rough on Rats," thoroughly
and instantly, say, one part to twenty of
hot corn meal mush; when it cools, di-
vide in pieces ami place about their
holes. 15c.. 25c. and 75c.; wooden boxes
only. E. S. Wells, Chemist, Jersey City,

WHAT SHE THOUGHT.
Law School Will Receive $125,000
The house of representatives Mon-
day accepted the conference report on
the state university law school appro-
priation, and passed it after a brief but
angry discussion by a vote of 00 to 33.
Under the bill the university gets
$12"),000 for the law school building,
unless Governor Cruce vetoes it, which
is not likely. The amount asked was
$150,000 and the senate gave that
much. The house reduced the amount
to $100,000. The conference commit-
tee split the difference and the bill is
now passed finally.
Favorably Reported

of that there Jones as is moved in

Mrs, Jawkins—Why, I don't like

Mr. Jones, sometimes I think, and
then again I don't know, but, after
all, I rather guess he'll turn out to be
a good deal such a sort of man as I
take him to be.
COULD NOT STAND SUFFERING
FROM SKIN ERUPTION
"I have been using Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment for the past
three months and I am glad to say-
that tbey cured me of a most annoy-
ing skin eruption. It began by my no-
ticing red blotches appearing on my
face and scalp. Although they were
rather disfiguring, I did not think any-
thing of them until they began to get
scaly and dry and to itch and burn
until I could not stand the suffering
Then I began to use a different soap,
thinking that my old kind might be
hurting me, but that didn't seem to do
any good. I went to two different doc-
tors but neither seemed to relieve me
any. 1 lost many n>ghts' sleep in con-
tinual scratching, sometimes scratch-
ing till I drew the blood on my face
and head. Then I started in to use
the Cuticura Remedies and In two
months I was entirely relieved of that
awful pest. I am so delighted over
my cure by Cuticura Remedies that I
shall be glad to tell anybody about
It." (Signed) O. M. Macfarland, 221
