CANNOT SELL BONDS
Stillwater Must Make Better Showing
as to Valuation
STILLWATER: Until the city of
Stillwater can make a better show-
ing of its property valuation, its re-
cent bond issue cannot be sold, ac-
cording to S. F. Swinford, who re-
cently made a trip to Chicago for the
purpose of selling the bonds. The
total indebtedness of the city, includ-
ing the late issue of $67,000, is $131,-
000, with a floating indebtedness of
$4,000 and the present assessed val-
uation is $00:1.910.
The proportion of indebtedness to ,
the assessed valuation is too great to
make the bonds attractive to deal-,
ers. It is stated, however, that, the ;
present city assessment, just con- i
eluded places the valuation at $1,700,-
000.
QUESTIONS BOOZE LAW
Oklahoma City Attorney Says Council
Cannot Make Such Ordinance
OKLAHOMA CITY: Attacking the j
light of the city council to pass an ;
ordinance and enforce it against the j
sale of intoxicating liquors within the
city limits, Attorne> \V I). Cardwell
made application for a w rit of ha-
beas corpus in the eou.tty court lor
E. O Trainer, convicted in police
court for seiling into\'.mating liquors
in violation of a city ordinance and
fined $•" () and given 110 days on the
rock pile.
Attorney Cardwell is attacking the
ordinance on the ground that the
city has no power to pass laws unless
expressly delegated l y the legisla-
ture, which has not been done. He
holds that the city has n > right to
adopt such a method to add to its
coffers.
PRINT PRIMARY BALLOTS

West Protests Against Plea That the
Governor Had Not Sufficient Time
to Investigate—Injunction Sha'l
Stand During Continuance
GUTHRIE: Continuance in the case
of the state against the Prairie Oil
& Gas company was granted by Dis-
trict Judge A. H. Huston until July
27, when the parties, under the agree-
ment, will appear for trial.
Attorney General West, who recent-
ly secured a temporary injunction
against the Prairie company restrain-
ing further construction on the pipe
line after it had traversed Washing-
ton county from Caney, Kansas, ap-
peared for the state. George I. Ram-
sey, of Muskogee, and J. H. Durford,
of this city, represented the Prairie,
while O. T. Smith, law clerk in the
governor's office, appeared for Acting
Governor Bellamy.
Mr. West protested against Mr.
Smith's plea that the case should be
continued on the ground that Gover-
nor Haskell has not had sufficient
time to make an investigation of the
matter and rather ironically suggest-
ed that the governor had previously
declared his acquaintance with the
case.
The importance of the agreement
between the Prairie and Mr, West re-
sulting in the continuance is that the
case shall remain status quo, that is,
the injunction shall stand, the Prairie
shall not seek a writ of prohibition
or seek to have the case transferred
from Logan county.
This last point was considered of
special import by the attorney gener-
al and he expresed himself as being
pleased with the agreement.
Evidnce of the intense interest ta-
ken by the small oil producers was
the presence of Attorney J. J. Shea, fure people to open the way for
of nartlesvllle, who represented a futm.e ^
number of well known independent I '
companies. \ MRS. KERN SORRY ITS SO
Appreciates the Honor, but Thinks of
Her Husband's Health
INDIANAPOLIS, 1ND.: Mrs. John
W. Kern, wife of the nominee for vice
president, when notified of the nomi-
nation of lier husband at Denver, was
at her home with her children.
"I had hoped," said she, "you would
give me the goGd news that Mr. Kern
had not been nominated. I. of course,
I appreciate the honor conferred upon
Mr. Kern, but I cannot understand
j what conditions at Denver have arisen

HEAR8T HAS HIS OWN PARTY
New York Editor Will Not Support the
Denver Nominee
NEW YORK: That William J.
Bryan Is not to have the support of
William R. Hearst is Indicated by the
attitude of Mr. Hearst's two New-
York newspapers, the American and
the Evening Journal. The two papers
announce a loss of confidence on their
part both in the democratic party and
In Mr. Bryan.
Preparations are well under way for
the next national convention of the
Independence party, which will be |
held at Chicago, Monday, July 27.
While the eyes of most politicians
have been centered upon the demo-
cratic national convention hall in Den-
ver these last few days, the Independ-
ence party leaders have been com-
pleting their plans for the Chicago
convention, and with the return from
Europe of William R. Hearst next
week, all will be ready.
The Independence party leaders say
they will put a full ticket In the Held
and will also try to have a state tick-
et in every state in the union. In
thirty-eight states national commit-
teemen of the Independence party
have been appointed, the last state
thus represented being North Dakota.
Although the party leaders have
not come out strong as yet for any
one man as their standard bearer in
the aampaign, there is a strong senti-
ment, they say, for Thomas L. Ilisgen,
of West Springfield, Mass. Mr. Ilis-
gen ran for governor of Massachus-
etts two years ago on the Hearst
ticket and polled a surprisingly large
vote. This was encouraging to the
Independence party leaders. Another
possible candidate is M. W. Howard,
of Alabama, a member of the national
committee of the Independence party
from Alabama. He is a former con-
gressman.
The Independence party leaders
here say that the strength of the
party has grown in the south remark-
ably of late and they expect it to keep
on growing from now until the day of
election.
The party leaders say they do not
expect to win this fall, but seek to
bring the party and its principles he-

OUSTER SUIT BY WEST
The Attorney General Starts Action
Against Oil Company
GUTHRIE: Attorney General West
In the district court of Logan county
tiled suit to compel the Prairie Oil
and Gas company to relinquish all its
lease holdings and oil wells in the
state and practically to abandon its
business other than the actual trans-
pot tation and refining of crude petro-
leum. He asks that the surrender be
made subject to regulations made in
court.
The petition charges the company
with already having warranted the
forfeiture of Its corporate rights in ! politicai*honors' "i
Oklahoma and demands that it be
forced to live up to its obligations in
the transportation of oil and that It !
be enjoined from "the unlawful own- :
ing, operating and producing of oil
along its said pipe lines and trans-
porting same over its said pipe lines,
and that it be required to dispose of
BALK ON HOMESTEAD TAX
Indians Called to Meet in Conference
to Oppose Action
ARDMORE: It is now pretty gen-
erally asserted that Governor D. H.
Johnston, of the former Chickasaw
nation, will issue a formal call to his
people urging that they attend en
masse the conference of Choctaws
recently called by Governor Green
McCurtain. This meeting is to be
held at Tuskahoma, and is called for
the purpose of forming an organized
resistance against the taxation of the
homesteads of the Indians.
G. W. Young, of Berwyn, an inter-
married Chickasaw, and a member of
the Chickasaw senate, declaies that
"all the Indian wants is a square deal
according to the treaty stipulations
and the constitution of Oklahoma. '
"The removal of restrictions on the
sale of lands of the Indians was fa-
vored by both the Choctaws and
Chickasaws," said Mr. Young. "Beth
legislatures of the nations memorial-
ized congress to pass the bill, but the
Indiaus did not want their treaty
rights concerning taxation of their
lauds meddled with by the state au-
thorities.
"When the framers of the consti-
tution completed their work and as-
sured the Indians that their land
would not be burdened with taxation,
the Indians supported the constitu-
tion, but now it seems that some of
the county commissioners are desir-
ous of overriding the constitution. The
way in which the commissioners are
going about the matter looks to me
like the state wants to confiscate the
lands of a large number of minor,
children by taxing them. The state! st Anthony's hospital
authorities may look for a fight, and expre.-.s some hope for hi* '
CONDUCTOR WATSON STABBED
Trainman Received Wounds fcr At
tempting to Enforce Law
OKLAHOMA CITY: Lying close to
death, with two ugly knife wounds in
his abdomen, Conductor T. W. Wat-
son of the Frisco railroad, v - o trao
stabbed by a man who took orrenee
at his attempts to get him out or
the negro compartment of his tram
Sunday, is at the St. Anthony's hos-
pital with three physicians attending
him.
The man, whose last Fame, M-r
Lane, only could be procured, toad
bought a ticket from Chandler to
Warwick and went into the negro
compartment of the train. Conduc-
tor Watson ordered him out. He in-
fused to go and Watson returned t<>
another coach.
A deputy sheriff of Lincoln county,
hearing the argument, went into 1be
negro compartment, and moved Mo-
Lane into the other part of the car,
where he sat until the train reached-
Warwick.
At Warwick the man got off arid
walked up to where Conduc: >r Wat-
son was standing, asked him wbat
he meant by throwing him out the
way he did. Watson d-flared thai
he did not, saying that it was a depu-
ty sheriff who did it, but the man,
not satisfied with Watson's explana
tion, abused hiiu, till Watson becom-
ing angry, hit him with his l&utern
and then knocked him to the ground
with his fist. When the nrtn arose
he jerked a knife out of his pocket
and stabbed Watson twice.
Watson was brought, here en the
