Because writers of anonymous let-
ters to C.ov. Cruce complained that
the price of $!tr" named in the
contract with Warden & Co. of Ok-
lahoma City for printing the ballots

quested an investigation. The con-
tract was submitted to a board of
arbitration composed of John N.
Cooke an Oklahoma City job printer
John N. Shepler owner of the Law-
tos Constitution and Koy IM. John-
son of the Ardmore Statsnuin. The
board reported that cossidoring the
amount of work and the attending
hazard the price was not more than
the job was worth but reduced the
total bill to $!.0.")il on account of pen-
alties for failure to deliver some of
the ballots according to specifica-
tion. The board found that it cost
Warden A; Co.. $;.!02.:i! to do tha
job. The total paid awards about
"0 per cent profit.
""he usual conditions in which pen-
. x were imposed for failure to
foi. a- specifications or make de-
liveries on fane in order to meet its
terms the entire "shop' had to he
devoted to the ballot job as long as
it iwas in the house. Warden's bid
of $9500 was the lowest offered the
next lowest being $9700 by the Co-
Operating Printing company of Guth-

THREE THOUSAND KILLED AND
FIFTY THOUSAND HOMELESS
AND STARVING.
lieilin. Aug. 1!. -Three thousand
dead and filty thousand homeless and
Htumng as result of earthquakes in
southeastern Turkey is the report
here tciiay by a dispatch to the iter-
liu newspaper T'igleblat I la Con-
stantinople. An active crater has appeared on
the Asiatic side of the Sea of Marmo-
ra according to I lie dispatch and the
smoUe and fumes and lava from tiit3
are causing suffering to those in the
reuiuii who escaped with their lives
from the effect of the earth shock it-
self. Three towns. Tohanak Kaliensnl
and C.allipolis in the southeastern

ed Saturday. These towns had a to-
tal inhabitation of about 10.000 and
5000 were reported to have been left
homeless by the quakes and tha fires
that followed. The estimated dead in
these towns was about 500.
Constantinople and the thickly pop-

REPORTED REPUBLICAN CON-
FEREES HAVE BEEN PERSUAD-
ED NOT TO SIGN REPORT.
Washington Aug. 111. The Indian
appropriation 'bill which has been in
conference since July :!0 baa beet:
agreed to and is to lie signed tomor-
row if the house and senate confe-
rees are still of a mind to sign the
measure when the time comes. Those
having the bill in charge were jubil-
ant during the day over the termina-
tion of their hard-fought battle but
tonight they were disturbed over the
report that the republican conferees
have been persuaded not to sign the
conference report.
Indian Agencies.
The hitch Is over the provision abol
ishing the Indian agencies involving
a salary roll of $100000. That was
one of the reforms the house demo-
crats have been insisting upon just
as they are insisting upon the abol-
ishment of pension agencies which
has deadlocked the two houses of
congress over the big pension bill.
Outside of the controversy over the
Indian agencies the house and senate
are in full accord the latter having
yielded on practically every point of
importance.
The senate Indian appropriation bill
appears to have been prepared with a
view to trading off everything so as
to hold the agencies with their strlug
of employes and their $100000 payroll.
The house bill aggregated $S000.000
but the senate ran that total tip to
exceeding $16000000; then when the
bill went to conference the seriate
yielded on almost everything except
the agencies. Accordingly the bill
which the conferees are expected to
sign tomorrow will show among oth-
the tribal funds of the Indians unless
sions:
Concessions Are Made.
The senate gives up the demand for
SJ.000000 for payment of the I'te In-
dian claim and accepts an appropria-
tion of $100000 on account for these
Indians which the house is willing i
clve.
The senate recedes unconditionally
on the John West claim from Okla-
homa for $10000.
The senates recedes from its de-
mand for a $1500000 Irrigation
scheme for the Yakima Indians in
Washington.
The senate yields to the house in
the matter of the Hampton School for
colored children and agrees to having
the 120 Indians in that institute sent
to Carlisle.
Finally the senate afrreed yester-
day to giv? no the sixteen Indian
