Former "Cotton Kino" Indicted
Federal Grand Jury
NEW YORK: Theodore H. Price,
at one time known as the "cotton
king" because of his tremendous
trades in the staple, and more recent-
ly president of the Eagle Fire insur-
ance company, was Indicted by the
federal grand Jury after a long inves-
tigation of a startling leak of cotton
crop statistics contained In a govern-
ment report which had not been made
public. The grand Jury found two In-
dictments against Price, one charging
conspiracy to commit an offense
against the United States, and the
other bribery of a government official.
Three other persons are Indicted with
Price and warrants have been issued
for their arrest, as they are out of
the jurisdiction of the grand jury in
this district.

Former Senator Jones Dead
WASHINGTON: Former Senator
James K. Jones of Arkansas died in
this city Monday afternoon, after an
illness of a few hours, aged 69 years.
He was one of the leading democrats
in the senate from 1885 to 1903, and
was one of the strongest supporters
of William J. Bryan, having, as chair-
man of the democratic national com-
mittee, conducted the campaigns of
1896 and 1900. Since leaving the sen-
ate in 1903 he has conducted a law
practice in this city and has not ac-
tively engaged in politics.

Corner in Corn Netted $2,000,000
CHICAGO: The "corner" in May
corn which has been run by James A
Patton of this city and his associates
has come to an end, and the "Patton
crowd" is generally credited with
having made about $2,000,000 on the
deal, although It is admitted that all
estimates are largely guesswork. Mr.
Patton personally declared that he
did not know how much had been
made.
KANSAS CITY: Action was taken
at a conference of railroad represen-
tatives and Attorney General West of
Oklahoma, last week, which will save
the shippers of that state millions of
dollars annually. The meeting was a
sequel to a meeting held in Guthrie on
May 4, when it was agreed between
railroad officials and Governor Has-
kell and Attorney General West that
if freight rates on interstate ship-
ments were reduced the attorney gen-
eral would drop suits charging roads
with maintaining an unlawful merger.

No Specific Provision for Publication
of Laws—Secretary of State Will
Now Have Supervision of Work—
School Land Bill Failed to Pass
The first Oklahoma legislature ad-
journed sine die at 1:30 o'clock Wed-
nesday morning, the house completing
Its work almost on the stroke of the
half hour and the senate following a
few minutes later. There was little
demonstration. Both houses, under a
joint agreement, ceased passing bills
at midnight.
The closing scenes in the two
houses were of a varied nature. The
rather dramatic death of the school
land bill in the senate was followed
by a succession of roll calls and as
midnight neared the work was pushed
through rapidly.
The same period in the house was
marked by a demonstration that
threatened to end in physical vio-
lence, the sheer lack of spirit being
largely responsible for averted trouble
which arose over the defeat of a
resolution providing for the publica-
tion of the session laws. Mr. Bryan,
who was attacked in a personal
speech by Mr. Branson and accused
of defeating the proposition, went to
the speaker's stand and attempted to
explain, but he was hooted down.
Members crowded around the rostrum
but the speaker was engrossed in
signing bills and paid no attention to
the hubbub, which gradually de-
creased.
Although the legislature adjourned
without specific provisions for the
publication of the session laws on ac-
count of the objection to Speaker
Murray being allowed to name the
committee to attend to the matter, the
publication will be made under the
supervision of the secretary of state.
The conference report on the pri-
mary election bill was adopted. The
bill provides for a mandatory primary
on the first Tuesday of August in the
even numbered years, at which all
parties shall name their candidates
for all elective offices, including Unit-
ed States senator. The bill is slight-
ly In conflict with the proposed Tay-
lor general election bill as passed by
the senate, in that it contemplates
registration by the city clerks, where
the Taylor bill puts that in the hands
of the precinct election inspectors. A
feature of the bill is a requirement
that all matter printed in a newspa-
per complimentary about a candidate
during either a primary or campaign
for election must be tabled in "at
least ten point type" political adver-
tising.
The house bill for working convicts
on public roads was also passed fin-
ally by the senate. The convicts get
25 cents per day for their work when
they have a family dependent.
GREAT CONVENTION ADJOURNS
One of the Best Meetings of Northern
Baptists Closes
OKLAHOMA CITY: The election of
officers, the receiving of reports from
the committee of reference, the com-
mittee of seven, and the committee
of brotherhood, constituted the most
Important session of the Northern
Baptist convention. President Harry
Piatt Judson, of Chicago unversty,
was unanimously elected president of
the convention to succeed Governor
Charles E. Hughes of New York,
whose election was made permanent
last week, while the other officers se-
lected by the delegates are:
For vice-presidents: Corwin S.
Shank, Seattle, Wash.; Rev. S. H.
Green, D. D., Washington, D, C.; Fred
Brasted, Oklahoma City, Ok.; corre-
sponding secretary, Rev. W. C. Bit-
tings, D. D., St. Louis; recording sec-
retary, G. W. Coleman, Boston; treas-
urer, W. E. Lincoln, Pittsburg, Pa.
The question of future relations of
the various organizations to the con-
vention was considered. The com-
mittee recommended that "at the ear-
liest practicable date there should be
an organic union between the various
general denominational societies and
the Northern Baptist convention, to
the end that the denomination
through the convention, may be able
to determine a suitable related policy
for all general activities, may provide
adequate funds and to the further end
that it may be possible to put the va
rious agencies out of debt and there-
after to keep them out of d.'bt."
Commending organizations which
are working against the traffic in
white slaves, and calling upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the government
to unite with other nations in sup-
pressing this increasing evil by sign-
ing the treaty now in effect between
many other countries, a resolution in-
troduced by the Rev. M. P. Boynton
of Chicago was unanimously passed
by the convention.
Other resolutions endorse the work
of the Anti-Saloon League and con-
demn the greed that demands child
labor.
Distribution of $1,500,000 to carry
on religious work during the year.
April 1, 1908, to March 31, 1909, was

tee to apportion this $1,500,000 among

appropriated $30,000 for this work and
the contract was let for $26,000.

General West against a number of
railroad and express companies enter-

quors into the state.
Judge Russell holds further in sus-

that when the lands of Indian Terri-
tory were allotted In severalty and the
Indians were made citizens by the ad-
mission of Oklahoma and Indian Ter-
ritory to statehood, the government's

In the attorney general's petition he
held that treaties entered into be-

dians which forbade the sale of liquor
on the Indian lands were not abro-
gated by statehood.

Uncle Offers to Whip: Child Shoots
WALTER: "If you do I'll shoot
you," replied determined Liilie Wal-
den, 10 years old, when her uncle,
Luther Reese, banteringly told her
that he would whip here if she took
some fruit from the table. "Just go
ahead and shoot," said the playful
uncle, and in a jiffy the child had
seized a gun and Reese was prostrat-
ed on the floor with a rifle ball in
his neck. The ball passed through
the right shoulder, entered the neck
and lodged against -the cervical ver-
tebrae, producing instant and almost
complete paralysis of the body. He
is in a critical condition.

Says He Robbed Oklahoma Banks
KANSAS CITY: Frank Hart, Wil-
liam Riley and Ernest Vego, who
claim to hail from McAlester, Okla.,
are under arrest here on the suspi-
cion that they were implicated in a
safe robbery here. Hart was voluble
in his talk, declaring that he has as-
sisted in the robbery of several banks
in Oklahoma and Kansas, and that
he shot a brakeman in McAlester sev-
eral years ago and served time for
the crime.
Snyder's Nightwatchman Badly Cut
SNYDER: Mack Albritton, night-
watchman, was seriously injured by
being cut with a knife in the hands
of John Thorp. Thorp and two com-
panions were chasing negroes from

dered them to desist. Thorp resented
the order and Albritton struck him
on the head with a revolver. Thorp
took out his knife and attacked Al-
britton. Thorp has been placed In

Little Note That Probably Made Meaft
Employer Wince.
Prof. Charles Zueblln, the brilliant
nnd original sociologist of the Uni-
versity of Chicago, enunciated before
the League of Political Education in
New York a superb epigram:
"He who begins with saving to pro-
tect his family may end with neglect-
ing his family to save."
Discussing the dangers of Immod-
erate saving Prof. Zueblln said the
other day:
"It's by saving immoderately that
we come to inserting want advertise-
ments like one I saw recently—
'Wanted, capable office boy; salary,
$1 a week.'
"A young man of Seminary avenue,
noticing this advertisement, couldn't
resist replying to It. His reply ran:
" 'I beg to offer you my services.
Should you require a premium I could
furnish $500. You do not mention
Sundays—should I have to work on
that day? Neither do you state
whether the applicant must be clothed
or not, but I have concluded that he
must at least wear trousers, or he-
would be unable to carry home hi
wages.""

If parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains a drug—caffeine—which
is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giv-
ing the babies coffee to drink.
"When I was a child in my mother's
arms and first began to nibble things
at the table, mother used to give me
Bips of coffee. As my parents used
coffee exclusively at meals I never
knew there was anything to drink but
coffee and water,
"And so I contracted the coffee habit
early. I remember when quite young,
the continual use of coffee so affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley, then ground it in the
coffee-mill, as a substitute for coffee.
"But It did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard of.
I continued to use coffee until I was 27,
and when I got into office work, I be-
gan to have nervous spells. Especially
after breakfast I was so nervous I
could scarcely attend to my corre-
