MAY SHUT OUT CATTLE
Powers of Oklahoma Live Stock
Board Are Explained. '
GUTHRIE: Attorney General Si-
mons has decided, in response to
request from Thomas Morris, secre-
tary of the Oklahoma live stock sani-
tary commission, that the commission
has full power to designate the pro
hiblted period during which cattle
shall not be permitted to cross the
territorial quarantine line, and full
power to enforco any and all regula-
tle>ns deemed necessary by the board
for the protection of the cattle Inter
ssts of Oklahoma.
A largo number of cattle have been
shipped across the Canadian river
nto tho Chickasaw nfitlon this sum
mer for pasture, which the owners
will probably want to return Into Ok
lahoma during the open season
There was no provision in the law by
which such cattle could be returned
even during the open season, hut, ac-
cording to the attorney general's
opinion, the sanitary commission has
full power to make rules covering the
point.
Secretary Morris expresses himself
as very well pleased with the condi-
tion of cattle over the territory gener-
ally. A systematic cleanup Is now be-
ing carried on in western Oklahoma,
and the Inspecte^s' work in the east-
ern counties whenever they have a
little exlra time. As soon as the
western end Is cleaned up, eastern
Oklahoma will be gone over In a sim-
ilar systematic manner.
Peace Commissioners Have Gone ths
Limit of Their Power—The Rulers
of Russia and Japan are Now De-
termining Factors
OYSTER BAY: 'Two emperors, one
at St. Petersburg and the other at
Tokio, are the determining factors in
the pending peace negotiations. Al-
thenigh the negotiations temporarily
are suspended at Portsmevtl' «hey
are progressing actively through- res-
ident Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill. He
Is in practically constant communica-
tion with the St. Petersburg and Tok-
io governments. By both of the war-
ring nations his good offices have
been sought and h's efforts to bring
their plenipotentiaries into accord
and thus prevent a failure of the
peace conference are unremitting.
The president has held an extended
conference with Baron Kaneko, the
recognized confidential agent of the
Japanese government in this country.
Neither the president nor Baron
Kaneko would discuss the nature of
the interview. While the baron's ex-
pressed views of the p ace negotia-
tions were not optimistic he left a dis-
tinct impression that the last word
by no means had been spoken. He
protested that Japan h3d no wish to
do anything to humiliate Russia, but
expressed the belief that the Jap-
anese terms are quite reasonable and
that no further concessions would be
made.
ST. PETERSBURG: According to
infe>rmation of a member of the royal
family given the Associated Press a
dispatch was sent to M. Witte which
!s considered at Peterhoff as being a
decided hope for peace. The Slovo's
Portsmouth correspondent reporting
the arrival of an "eagerly expected
dispatch" quotes M. Witte as saying
that his endeavors to influence St.
Petersburg was more successful than
he expected. The correspondent adds
that there is ground for hope, as an
agreement in principle had been
reached and the question now is on
the amount of the sum.
PORTSMOUTH: The Associated
Press is permitted to announce that
Emperor Nicholas' a-nsper to Presi
dent Roosevelt's latest appeal was
partly responsive.
RESTRAINING ORDER ^^KED
Suit Involving Dead Indian Claims
and Valuable Timber
ARDMORE: Judge J. T. DIckerson
heard in the chambers at Chickasha
a Bult styled Sidney P. Allen of Kan-
sas City. Mo., vs. C. W. Baumbach,
Ardmore, I. T.
The suit involves the possession of
a large number of leases and dead
Indian claims, also valuable timber
leases in the Choctaw nation. The
plaintiff asked for a restraining order
for the appointment of a receiver and
special master of certain assets al
leged to belong to the Choctaw In-
vestment company and now in the
possession of the Southern Invest-
ment company.
After hearing the application, the
court decided that the defendants be
restrained from altering the present
sfatus of the assets, until further or-
ders of the court. The complaint and
answer were referred to Judge Hln-
kle, master in chancery, to hear evi
dence and make report as to the value
of the assets. The portion of the ap
plication, asking for the appointment
of a receiver, was denied.
When the master in chancery makes
his report, an effort will be made to
obtain an order of the court for th-e
sale at public auction of all the deeds
and leases in the controversy.
The sale grew out of the absorp-
tion of the Choctaw Investment com-
pany by the Southern Investment,Co.,
of this city, and the alleged failure
of the purchasers to issue $10,000
stock in the Bankers' Trust company
of Ardmore, and also for the alleged
failure to cash an alleged $16,000
check, which had been given as part
payment for the stock of the Choctaw
Investment company. A series of
suits will be tried before the matter
Is adjudicated.
Pressed Claims Before Government
While United States Senator
WASHINGTON: Officials of the de- j ADVOCATES
partment of justice and of the interior
who have been Investigating the
Chickasaw school warrant cases made
public portions of the records which
have been useel and alleged to Impli-
cate Senator J. R. Burton of Kan- I
sas, with pressing these claims be-
fore the government while holding
the position of senator In contraven-
tion of law. The Post says on this:
"In all, twenty-six Chickasaw war-
rants, aggregating $14,000, have been
paid to Senator Burton or his brother,
Z. T. Burton who he Is alleged to have
formed a partnership since March,
1901, when Senator Burton took the
oath of office.
"Six of the Chickasha warrants Is-
sued in October, 1901, and aggregat-
ing $5,500, were paid directly to J.
R. Burton. This was seven months
after Senator Burton had taken the
oath of office, wenty warrants ag-
gregating about $9,000 were made out
in favor of Z. T. Burton. It Is alleged
that the service for which these war
rants were made out In payment was
for pressing Chickasha claims before
the government. It is also contended
that Z. T. Burton never appeared be-
fore the department of the interior
and never practiced law in the Indian
Territory, but that his name was usee
as a blind by the Kansas senator."

ABILENE, KAN.: United States
Senator J. R. Burton, who is at his

declared that the Chickasaw warrants

in payment for legal service as coun-
selor to Governor Johnson, prior to
his election as senator. "I have never"
declared he, "received one penny in

COURT INQUIRY
Directors of Equitably Life Request
Full Investigation
NEW YORK: The Equitable Life
Assurance society joined with the
state of New York in asking for a
full investigation in court of its di-
rectors and officers and their alleged
wrong-doings in managing the moneys
of the society. The document which
announced this determination was
the answer of the forty-nine Equitable
directors to charges made against
them in connection with the Equitable
Life Assurance society by the state.
Admission is made that some offi-
cials of the Equitable have been guil-
ty of improper and illegal acts. In
all thirteen charges are answered by
the directors. Among th^se answers
they admit the $250,000 loan to the
Depew Improvement company. They
admit the $G85,000 loan of the Mer-
cantile Trust company> but waive re-
sponsibility In the loan so far as the
board of directors is concerned and
indicate Messrs. Alexander, Jordan
and Deming as the persons having
the most intimate knowledge of
these transactions.
TO MOVE QUARANTINE LINE
Cattle Inspector Says Conditions Are
Now Flattering
GUTHRIE: Charles Gorton, the ter-
ritorial cattle Inspector, has complet-
ed the inspection of the northern tier
of townships In Kiowa county with a
view of recommending that the cattlg
quarantine line be moved furthef
south. He reports the conditions
flattering and believes the line will
be changed as soon as a few infected
pastures are cleaned up. The farm-
ers there estimate their cattle will
be worth from $5 to $10 more per head
if their land can be placed above the
quarantine line.
Dr. L. D. Brown .the territorial vet-
erinarian at Delhi In Greer county,

Chief Rogers Calls Convention to
Order—Constitution to Be Drafted
For Adoption by People—Results
Given to Congress.
MUSKOGEE: The convention com-
prising those of Indian Territory who
, favor a state separate from Oklahoma
and made up of the nations of the five
civilized tribes met here according to
the call issued by the governors and
principal chiefs of the respective na-
tions. The convention was called to
order Monday, the 21st, at 11 o'clock,
by Chief Rogers. Invocation by Rev.
Grant Evans. Mayor Fite delivered
the address of welcome, which was I
responded to by W. H. Murray, of j
Tishomingo.
D. C. McCurtain of South McAles-
ter, son of Chief McCurtain of the
Choctaws, was elected temporary
chairman. Alex Posey, the Creek
bard, officiated as temporary secre-
tary.
George W. Scott, secretary of the
committee of Indian chiefs, read the
list of delegates, as approved by the
Indian executives. There were dele-
gates from each recording district ex-
cepting Vinita, and that district pre-
sented delegates for approval upon
the floor of the convention. Five of
the seven delegates from the Atoka
district were not admitted, as they
were contested. Atoka elected repre-
sentatives bound by a resolution de-
claring for single statehood and these
presented their credentials for ap-
proval. ' The chiefs compromised by
admitting the alternates and two of
the delegates to the convention. The
Quapaw agency was granted one dele-
gate. This was not included in the
original call, but was acceptable to
the convention.
A discussion was precipitated when
a motion was made to appoint a com-
mittee on rules and permanent organ-
ization. Chessie McIntosh, of the
Creek nation, argued against t.he mo-
tion, believing that it would delegate
too much power to the committee, but
the motion carried, and an adjourn-
ment was taken to allow them time to
report.
Judge Thomas, of Muskogee, deliv-
ered an address, declaring for prohi-
bition, while the committee was out.
The committee recommended P-
Porter, chief of the Creek nation, for
permanent chairman, and Alex Posey,
of Muskogee, secretary. These, with
the other officers of the convention,
were approved unanimously. The
rules presented brought out some
warm discussion, but were finally ac-
cepted, with a few minor changes.
The committee on constitution, which
is considered the most important
committee, provides for one member
from each rece>rding district the same
to be named by the delegation; twen-
ty-five members to be selected by the
permanent chairman; the committee
to have power to nppoint subcommit-
teemen from among Its own mem-
bers. This committee will have the
greater part of the work to do, and
the length of time the convention will
be in session will depend largely upon
their progress.

Congressman A. P. Murphy, of the
Fourteenth Missouri district, a for-
mer attorney for one of the tribes,
went on record for separate statehood
and pledged hi3 vote that way. He
said he believed Indian Territory was
competent in every way for statehood
and did not believe It was right for
Oklahoma to Interfere with- the plans,
and prospects of the people here any
more than it would be right for the
people of this territory to Infringe on

each recording district, twenty-six
districts, 182 votes. Delegations vary
in size from one to thirty-five; each
delegate has an alternate, who has
been given by the convention the
same power as de'egate. With this
plan of organization, close to 400 dele'
gates and alternates are represented.
As announced by the chiefs, It was
desired that half the .convention be
whites, half Indians, the whole a de-
liberative body.
It is strictly an Indian Territory
affair, composed of all the Indians
and that element of whites favoring
separate states of Indian Territory
and Oklahoma. The plan is to declare
favoring a state embracing present
geographical boundary of Indian Ter-
ritory; frame and adopt a co
tion, submit this grand total1

an election to be held early in Novem-
ber. If approved by the people, pre-
sent the whole proceeding to congress
and ask admission as a state. This i-i
practically the same plan followed by
the territory of California, resulting
in the admission of that state. Enthu-
siasts believe 12,000 votes will be cast
at the election, and less than 10 per
cent will be against the proposition
aB submitted. Sure it Is that the Indi-
ans are In deep earnest. They claim

DON'T UNDERSTAND TAXATION
Quanah Parker Will Enlighten Mem-

LAWTON: Chief Quanah Parker, of
tho Comanche# has gone to visit each
family of his tribe and explain t'lC
law concerning Indian taxes. Hereto-
fe>re IliVy have paid no tax whatever
and they don't understand the new
order.
Chief Parker says It will take him
until far into tho winter to make the
round and that the Indians cannot
pay until in tho spring. He asks tho
county commissioners to extend the
time till then and promises every
cent will be paid. They do not pay
on allotments nor improvements there-
on, but e>nly on personal property,
earned or purchased by themselves,
as the government retains no Interest
In such effects.
DENVER BANKER ARRESTED

ficers at South McAlester
SOUTH MCALESTER: Warrants
were sworn out at Denver. Colo., for
the arrest of J. H. Hill, president of
the Denver Savings Bank, which re-
cently failed at that place. Chief of
Police Collier of this city received a
telegram from the Denver authorities
to arrest Hill on a charge of grand
larceny, and to hold him until an of-
ficer could arrive with requisition pa-
pers. Hill was arrested promptly
and was held by Commissioner
McMillan in the sum of $1,000 to await
the arrival of the Denver officers.
Mr. Hill, who has been a resident of
this city for some time, said that ho
would return to Denver without a re-
qu'sition. He has been connected
with a number of banks at different
places in Oklahoma and Indian Ter-
ritory and is held In high esteem.
