ASSOCIATE JUSTICE PANCOAST
CREATtS SENSATION IN SU-
PREME COURT HEARING
SECRETIN! GARFIELD
CUTS BUT BED TAPE
TERRITORY OIL AND GAS REGU-
LATIONS ARE SIMPLIFIED-
NO CASH DEPOSITS
WASHINGTON: Secretary Garfield
has made some important modifica-
tions in oil and gas regulations for In-
dian Territory, eliminating much red
tape. Some are favorable to produc-
ers, while others make them squirm.
The old regulations provided that
no lease would be approved for oil or
gas unless the applicant had on de-
posit in bank $5,000 cash, as evidence
that he was financially able to de-
velop the property. The new regula-
tions do not require any cash deposit,
and applicants have only to make a
showing of financial responsibility on
paper.
The old regulations provided for a
flat royalty of $150 per year for each
gas well used commercially. The new
regulations provide for a sliding scale,
with a minimum of $150 per year for
g.'ts wells with a capacity of 3,000,000
cubic feet daily, and $50 per year for
each additional million feet. Wells
can not be drilled within 200 feet, in-
stead of 150 feet of the lines of ad- ! ,e'npt of the
Serious Divergence of Sentiment is
Apparent Among the Members of
the Supreme Bench—Burford
and Irwin Engage in a
Lively Tilt
GUTHRIE: The argument of the
opposing attorneys in the constitution-
al convention injunction cases before
the supreme court was enlivened by
some sensational climaxes that indi-
cated a divergence of sentiment on the
part of the members of the supreme
bench. At one time there was a se-
rious tilt between Chief Justice John
H. Burford and Associate Justice Clin-
ton F. Irwin, two of the oldest mem-
bers of the bench.
The tilt came during the argument
being made by Horace Speed of Guth-
rie in favor of the injunctions. Judge
Burford asked the question, if the
president of the United States is not
the judge as to whether the state con-
stitution is in accord with the enab-
ling act. Quickly Judge Irwin respond-
ed that the president may act only
in determining upon the issuance of
his proclaation, but that he has no
judicial authority in the matter. At
this point it was suggested that the
two members of the bench take thirty
minutes each to argue the point.
Another sensation occurred when
Justice John L. Pancoast, the member
who granted the permanent injunc-
tion preventing the holding of an elec-
tion on the constitution, called the at-
tention of other members of the bench
to the fact that the South McAlester
Daily Capital is daily publishing the
election proclamation recently issued
by President William H. Murray of
the constitutional convention, calling
the election for August 6. Judge Pan-
coast cited the bench to the fact ttart
while members of the convention are
here seeking to be relieved from an
Injunction, the public action of the
proclamation by Murray is in con-
very court injunction
PUDDING THAT WILL KEEP.
Savory and Cheap Dessert Ready to

and promptly at 10 o'clock a. m. Mr.
Bryan was introduced by Chairman
Thompson. He discussed chiefly the
constitution and its salient features
and declared it should be adopted.
Following Mr. Bryan's address a
temporary organization was effected
by the selection of W. H. Murray of
Tishomingo chairman, and W. T.
Fields of 151 Reno secretary.
The usual committees on perman-
ent organization, credentials, resolu-
tions and order of business were ap-
pointed, after which the convention
adjourned for dinner.
The afternoon session was taken
up principally by speech making,
Henry M. Furman of Ada, Chas. Mad-
ison of Muskogee, Lee Cruce of Ard-
more, and number of other prominent
democrats having been called to the j ^a'ted that the occasion w
front.
It was announced that the various
committees would not be ready to re-
port until 8 p. m. and adjournment
was tuken to that hour. The com
mittee on permanent organization re-
ported at the night session, recom-
mending R. A. Blllups of Cordell for
permanent chairman and
the confidence they had imposed in
him.
W. H. Murray presented the name of
Robert L Owen of Muskogee as sen-
ator from the Indian Territory side of
the new state. The nomination was
seconded by W. W. Hastngs of Tahle-
quah.
After a brief address by Mr. Owen
Thomas Smith of Muskogee was rec-
ognized and placed before the con-
vention the name of ('. N. Haskell of
Muskogee as the nominee for the first
governor of the new state. The nomi-
nation was Beconded by Henry S.
Johnson of Perry and D. C. McCurtain
of South McAlester.
Mr. Haskell was greeted with ap-
plause when he was escorted to the
platform. In opening his address he

where no one would wish to be mis-
understood or misquoted, and asked
the indulgence of the convention, j

I The attention of the bench was also
called by Judge Pancoast to one
clause of Murray's proclamation which
attacked the Oklahoma courts.
I The supreme court on Friday hand-
ed down a statement to the effect that
it would finally decide the controversy
; on June 25, provided William H. Mur-
ray, president of the constitutional
convention, displaced himself from
j contempt of court by discontinuing the
I publication of his election call in the
' South McAlester Daily Capital. Other-
wise, no decision would be rendered.
The desire of the court was coni-
I municated by Delegate Ledbetter to
President Murray, who immediately

HAVE THE HOME ORIGINAL.
Ideal Abiding Place Carries Stamp of
Individuality.
The surest way of making the home
distinctive is to do all we can our-
selves, and stamp it with our own
individuality.
Never copy other people's ideas of
comfort and decoration, but employ
your own talents and experience to
the best advantage by carrying out
original designs and schemes. Don't
copy; originate.
If you can't afford to buy a new
parlor table on the installment plan,
you may buy a cheap table, and cover
it with pretty chintz and muslin very
reasonably indeed; and if the cover-
ing matches the wall paper, the suc-
cess of the venture will be doubly
ure.
All husbands appreciate the efforts
of wives to make the home pretty,
bright, and dainty, and as they are
mortal, and do not possess inex-
haustible purses, it will please them
still more when they hear it is all
"home-made."

Cotton Seed Oil Pays

which have been made regarding the
enormous profits of the cotton seed

alleged "trust," seem to lind i con-

stockholders of the Farmers' Oil Mill
company at Mangum. At their an-

a dividend of 40 per cent upon the
capitalization was declared, and the
announcement made that there was

sion of organized counties in Okla-
homa which were located by act of
congress. Court decisions were cited
and acts of congress quoted to prove
that the supreme court, of Oklahoma
has jurisdiction. The argument was
made that the legislative and judicial
apportionments, made by the conven-
tion, are unfair, not being in propor-
tion to population, as the plan of a
republican form of government re-
quires. It was held that any citizen,
taxpayer or qualified elector in Okla-
homa Territory has a right to object
and ask the courts to protect his
rights and the proposed state against
encroachment and against its perver-
sion from its true good. This being
so, the point was made that such per-
sons have the power to enjoin.
Swiss Curtains.
A pretty way to finish white swiss
curtains for summer use is to edge
them down the fronts and along the
bottoms with narrow linen or cotton
lace. It is not fulled in, but stitched
on flat by machine. Curtains of swiss
never should fall below the window
sill, and, when edged with lace, may
have a hem an inch or more wide on
the fronts and bottoms, with the lace
sewn to the edge. This finish is fai
more durable and neat than ruffling
the material on, and the expense is
about the same, since lace may be
bought for from three to five cents a
yard. Overdraperies of cretonne also
may be finished at the edges with lace,
and this will tend to make them hang
better, as the stitching and extra
weight of the lace make the edge firm

Put two ounces of butter In the bot-

into small bits and the beef into very

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR GOV.
ERNOR 18 ACCUSED BY CARD-
WELL IN OKLAHOMA CITY
CIRDWIELL WHS ACCUSED Of II FELON
Defeated Candidate for Representativs
at Oklahoma City and One of the
Cruce Boosters Was Bitterly
Denounced in New State
Tribune With Others
OKLAHOMA CITY: W. E. Card-
well, defeated candidate for the legis-
lature from this city, caused a war-'
rant to be issued Thursday for the
arrest of C. N. Haskell, democratio
nominee for governor, on a charge of
Criminal libel. He charges that on
June 6 Mr. Haskell caused to be pub-
lished in the New State Tribune, of
which Mr. Haskell is editor, an article
to -the effect that Cardwell was once
convicted of a felony.
Two other persons, Moman Pruiett
of Oklahoma City and J. Harvey
Lynch of Shawnee, are mentioned in
the same article, according to tiha
complaint.
The New State Tribune, in which
the alleged libelous article was pub-
lished, is a weekly newspaper, pub-
lished by the New State Tribune com-
pany. Mr. Haskell is the editor. Dur-
ing the campaign just closed, it was
active in behalf of the interests of
Mr. Haskell's candidacy. It bitterly
denounced Caldwell and Pruiett and
J. Harvey Lynch, secretary and treas-
urer of the Federation of Labor, w as
one of the subjects up«n which the
paper made a merciless fight.
The warrant was served on Has-
kell immediately upon his arrival in
Oklahoma City Friday night, and bond
was executed in the sum of $1,000 for
his appearance at trial on July 1.
Concerning the matter, Ml. Haskell
said:
"I am satisfied that neither Mr.
Cruce nor his close friends are re-
sponsible for the bringing of this suit
against me. I have traced it down
until I feel that I know exactly what
element it came from. It came from
certain business elements which have
been fighting me all along—from the
coal and lumber Interests centered at
South McAlester."

Tornado at Quanah
GUTHRIE: The new government
townsite of Quanah, in the "big pas-
ture," was laid waste Sunday by a
tornado which did much damage in
the territory between Quanah and
Frederick. The country home of G. D.
Gilmore was completely destroyed
and both Mr. Gilmore and his wife
quite seriously injured. The home of
L. E. Woldrop was also destroyed, but
none of the family seriously injured.
At Quanah, where the government lot
sale is still going on, the tents which
compose the townsite were all blown
down and the occupanls forced to find
protection from the heavy rain and
hail which followed under bedding
or anything that could be picked up.
Collar Button Causes Death.
TAHLEQUAH: A small bone col-
lar button was responsible for the
death here of Alia Kapps, the son of
T. YY'. Kapps. The boy was holding
the button in his mouth while in the
sot of pulling on his shirt. In some
way he sucked it Into his windpipe
and before it could be dislodged iie
had choked to death.
The new state is importing more
fine hogs than any other state In the
southwest—a fact which is vouched
for by the railroad and express com-
panies.
To Can String Beans.
The beans must be young and newly
gathered. If toughened by long-keep
ing or if old and stringy, they are nol
available for our purpose. With a
sharp knife remove the strings from
both sides of the beans. As you dc
this let the prepared beans fall intc
ice cold water. Now cut them intc
inch lengths, still dropping the bits
into water. Put over the fire covered
with cold water, slightly salted and
peppered. Boil until soft, but nol
broken. Transfer to heated jars, cov
er with boiling salted water from the
kettle and seal.
Sauce for Roast Meats.
A quarter of a pint of water, a s)#rig
of parsley, the juice of one lemon, pep
per, salt and one ounce and a half ol
butter.
Pitt the butter into a stewpan with
a sprig of parsley, chopped fine; the
juice of one lemon, strained; season
with pepper and salt and a quarter of
n pint, of water; set it over the fire
for about ten minutes until hot or just
on the boil, and serve with roast meat.
Gingerbread.
One cupful of molasses, one-half
cup of butter, one-half cupful of brown
sugar, two eggs, one and one-half tea-
spoonfuls of soda dissolved in one cup-
ful of hot water, one teaspoonful each
of ginger and cinnamon, three cupftils
of Hour. One cupful of chopped raisins
and citri.n may be added if desired
Bake in well-greased pan In moderate

Washing Berries.
Take an ordinary tin milk pan, a
hammer, and nail and punch holes all
over the bottom. Put In your berries,
let the water run over them in the
sink, and all the sand and dirt will
wash right through those holes. Put
in holes from inside of pan, so that it

Those in the United States In
to Be Published
WASHINGTON: Persons taking
pride in their ancestry, and especially
if it dates back to the stirring times
when the United Stales was in fts
infancy, will learn with interest of
the publication by the census bureau
of the names of the heads of families
living in the United States in 1790.
The returns for New Hampshire, Ver-
mont. and Maryland are now in press.
YYhen the first census of the citizens
was ordered in 1790 the inhabitant*
of the fifteen states—Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Delaware, Georgia,
Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, New
Hampshire New Jersey New York.
North and South Carolina, Pennsylva-
nia. Rhode Island, Y'ermont, Virginia
and Tennessee—were enumerated.
A complete set of the schedules for
the states, with a summary of the
counties, and in some instances of the
towns, were on file in the state de-
partment, but when the capitol was
destroyed in 1812 the records of Del-
aware. Georgia, Kentucky, New Jer-
sey, Y'irginia and Tennessee were
burned.
Last year, in response to the re-
quests of interested parties, congress
nppropriate money for the transcript
of the names, but owing to the small
resources available only the schedules
of New Hampshire, Y'ermont and
Maryland have been selected. Several
of the states where the schedules are
missing lists containing the names of
the heads of families in 1790 are prob-
ably obtainable, Virginia having an
enumeration of 1785.
Lost City, on Lost Mountain, which
stands guard over Tulsa, is being re-
inhabited by the workers building the
big crusher of eight hundred tons ca-
pacity in the mountain side there and
by the laborers of the new Poitland
cement plant. The town is located
upon the top of the mountain. There
are several houses, stores and barns
already and more are being built.
Lehigh and Coalgate are talking of
an electric road to connect the two
towns.
Ambassador Bryce Here
James Bryce, British ambassador to
the United States, toured Oklahoma
