Not by this name will tho public
come to know and remember the lath
houso of the San Diego Exposition.
It would tax tho ingenuity of any art-
ist or dreamer to affix a name to this
structure which would fittingly char-
acterize it. Arising as if sustained
by invisible chains from the blue
dome of the sky, the lath house will
loom 100 feet high, and yet that will
not seem a great height, for tho space
it will cover is 600 feet square, or
the equivalent of four city blocks.
This airy framework will allow the
air to enter and circulate freely, and
at the samo time It will temper the
atmosphere so that tho most delicate
and tender of vegetation from the
tropics can bo cultivated there. It
will cover the lath framework with
its luxuriance, and the public will
soe little but clambering vines, fern
fronds higher than a man's head
palms of varieties never seen in the
temperate zone, except in the hot-
houses of the wealthy, and flowers
in great abundance, with playing
fountains nnd band music, and birds
of every hue Hitting about the great
verdure incased amphitheater.
Surely the public will soon chris-
ten the lath house anew and give it
a name which will more appropriate-
ly express tho wonders it contains.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 7 -There aj
78 foreign and six domestic fire in-
surance companies authorized to do
business in Oklahoma, according to
the annual report of State Insurance
Commissioner P. A. Ballard, which
has just been issued. During tho

report, the foreign companies col-
lected premiums amounting to $3,
255,307.46, and paid losses aggrega-
ting $1,979,815.55, making the aver-
ago loss ratio for the year 60.81 per
cent.
The loss ratio for domestic com-
panies was much lower, six Okla-
homa concerns collecting $256,611.86
in premiums and paying total dosses
of $105,861.73, an average loss ratio
of 41.25 per cent.
The total premiums collected by
all companies amounted to $3,511,-
919.32, while the total losses paid by
foreign and domestic companies were
$^,085,677.28, leaving collections of
$1,426,242.04 In excess of fire losses.

domestic hail companies, and the re-
port covers but these two classes of
companies, a second volume, • to be
issued later, dealing with life insur-
ance business.
Eight companies were authorized to
do business in the State during the
year, while nine companies went out
of the field during the same period
and there were eight cancellations
affecting 17 companies.

London, Nov. 7.—Long dispatches
sent from Peking and timed early
this morning, fall to mention the fall
of the capital or tho flight of the
emperor.
Shanghai, China, Nov. 7.—A Chinese
report that Peking has fallen and the
emperor has fled has caused a wide
sensation, but a telegram from Pek-
ing makes no metnlon of such oc-
currence. It is thought here that the
report is intended to assist the rebel
cause locally.
London, Nov. 7.—The Reuter Tele-
gram Co.'s latest dispatch from Pek-
ing direct makes no mention of the
fall of the city.
Amoy, Nov. 7.—The report of the
rebel occupation of Amoy Is unfound-
d. The situation here is tense, but
there are no disorders.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 7.—Reports
that Peking, the Chinese capital, had
been captured by the revolutionists
and that the dynasty and other high
officials had lied, gave great, concern
to tho State Department officials. The
department has not heard from Mr.
Williams, the charge of tho American
legation at Peking, since Saturday
night, and this Is believed to indi-
cate that wire communication be-
tween Peking and Tien Sin and
Shanghai, the cable terminal, has
been interrupted through the activity
of tho revolutionists. It is feared
that a state of anarchy, such as
exists in Amoy, will follow in Pek-
ing. Tho condition is being watched
closely, In case it should become
necessary to call an international
conference, like that which adjusted
the claims growing out of the Boxer
uprising, with a view to agreeing on
a common line of action in China to
insure the protection of foreign lives
and property, and incidentally to pre-
vent any individual nation from tak-
ing an undue advantage of the sit-
uation.
Tho American Red Cross Society
has cabled $1,000 to American Consul
General Greene, in Hankow. This
action was taken upon the receipt of
an appeal from American Charge d'
Affairs Williams at Peking, which
told of the urgent need of funds to
relievo tho suffering.
Although an appeal was issued Sat-
urday night to the American people
tor funds to be used In China, no
contributions had been received at
the close of business Monday, and it
was necessary to take the $1,000 from
an emergency fund which the society
maintains.

MISTRIAL IN McREE CASE.
Opelousas, La., Nov. —A mistrial
was recorded in the McRee murder
case after the jury, which had de-
liberated on the case since 12:10 p.
m. Thursday, reported to the court
that there was no possibility of
agreeing on a verdict. According to
Foreman Hidlago the jury stood 8 to
4 for conviction of manslaughter. The
prosecution wished to have the case
set for rehearing Monday, but Judge
Pavy said this would be impossible
as he would be otherwise engaged.
SHE FOR TAXES
Oklahoma City, Nov. 7.—In spite
of the fact that Chief Justice John
II Turner of the State Supreme Court
had granted a supersedeas In the In-
dian tax cases, directing the county
treasurers and other officers of the
22 counties in which the land is lo-
cated not to proceed further in at-
tempting to collect the 1910 taxes
until a decision has been reached by
the Supreme Court of the United
States, the lands were offered for
sale in four counties, and on Monday
Attorneys J. F. McMurray of Mus-
kogee and W. A. Ledbetter of this
city made a formal application to the
State Supreme Court asking them to
forbid any further proceedings.
This the court refused to do,
the United States Supreme Court has
already assumed Jurisdiction and ad-
vanced the cases for early hearing,
but Assistant Attorney General C. L.
Moore was called on in the absence
of Attorney General West, who Is in
Enid, and it was decided that the
fair thing to do would bo to tele-
graph the county treasurers of Grady,
Garvin, Marshall and Murray coun
ties, the four in question, advising
them to refrain from further action
at this time, and this was done.
There are four of these Indian tax
cases, and as the lands involved are
those belonging to tho Cherokees,
Choctaws, Creeks, Chickasaws and
Seminoles, it can readily be seen that
the amount involved will run into
hundreds of thousands of dollars, if
not millions. No taxes have ever
been paid on these lands, and it Js
the contention of the State that they
were due for the last three years at
least, as the restrictions were re-
moved from the lands in 1908.
It is possible that an effort will be
made by citizens of Garvin County
to collect the taxes by mandamus,
the Indian lands constitute a large
percentage of the county's wealth,
and without the taxes 011 them, the
county government will have trouble
in paying running expenses.
"The effort to force the collection
of these taxes now comes mostly
from the tax ferrets," said Judge
Ledbetter, Monday evening. "There
has never been any clash between
the attorney general's office and the
attorneys for the Indians, as we are
all disposed to wait until the ques-
tion is finally decided, without mak-
ing any unnecessary expense for any-
body. If any of the county officers
undertake to sell these lands for
taxes now, we will have them cited
for contempt before the United States
Supreme Court at Washington, D. C.,"
These tax cases have been in the
courts ever since the restrictions
were removed. The Indians have lost
in all the Inferior coutrs of the
State and in the State Supreme Court
and it is the opinion of the attorney
general's office that the State is sure
to win in the United States Supreme
Court. In the meantime the taxes
are tied up.

S10RY OF ALLEGED
MISTREATMENT
At the hearing this morning in the
District Court on the motion of the
defendant, Mart Copeland, to modify
the decree of the court, heretofore
given, at the time he was divorced
by his wife, Etta Copeland, auditors
were moved to tears by the stories
of alleged mistreatment of vao chil-
dren of Mart Copeland by their step-
father, his divorced wife having heen
again married.
Copeland asks that the decree be
modified in that the custody of the
children be given him instead of his
former wife, and in behalf of his
motion the testimony of the children
and others was taken.

WHO'S POLLUTING THE
NORTH CANADIAN RIVEU
Oklahoma City, Nov. 7.—A petition
containing the names of 1,300 prop-
erty owners has been presented to
County Attorney Sam Hooker, asking
him to take steps toward the prose-
cution and punishment of the per-
son, persons or corporations who are
polluting the waters of the North Ca-
nadian River. Just what has been
put in the river is the question, but
It Is an indisputable fact that more
than 2,000 dead fish, which were
floating on what little water there is,
were taken from the river at Spen-
cer. The majority of the petitioners
live in the vicinity of Spancer.
County Attorney Hooked states that
he will investigate. The laws of Ok-
lahoma are extremely strict in re-
gard to stream pollution.
