There are five separate sulls nyd
the same defendants are month nod in
nearly every one, except that fleas-
ant Porter and C. W. Turin r alone
are named as defendants in one suit.
In the suits filed it appears that the
contention centers around the lots
that were scheduled to F. It. Severs.
C. W. Turner, Chief Porter and V Z
English, they being charged with hold-
ing more lets than the others
Special Interest will attach to the
holdings of Marlon It. Sawyer. Sev
eral lots were scheduled to her origi-
nally. Others she had purchased
since. She was in the employment of
■the government at the time as a ste-
nographer.
Dy the Creek treaty under which
the towns of over 200 population were
segregated from all. table land, it was
provided that persons who were in
possession of lots In 'virtue of im-
provements were entitled to have Ihe
lots scheduled to Hu m by the gov
ernment and they were to pay to the
Creek ntalon one-hall' ■ f the apprals
ed value. Lots not so scheduled were
to hesold at auction. No person was
allowed to hold more than four acres
end that much only under certain cir-
cumstances.
The Creek nation claims that it has.
been defrauded out of vast amounts
of money because the defend in: . had
hundreds of lots scheduled ill the
names of persons who did not own
them in fact, and that the defendants
paid the one-half appraisement and
nfter the deeds were issued to the
persons 'on the schedule, these per
eons made quit claim deeds to t!i>■

The relief that the Creek nation
prays Is that the deeds to the 1 t in

the chief executive went aboard the
naval yacht to spend the night, the
day was crowded with n table inci-
dents.
Of especial note among tin <I:i
events was the action of Ihe president
In assuming command of the situation
In front of the crowded grandstand
from which he spoke when a panic
seized the surging throng of speeia
tors. Pressed against the guard ropes
by thou amis f eager person*, the
safety of those who had Ih" more fa-
vorable positions was endangered.
President Roosevelt had Jusi been
Introduced by Hanv St George Tuck-
er, head of the exposition company,
when the disorder and nitre t In the
cr wd reached its height and tlie civil
guards In 'ront of the grind stand
seemed about In be swept from their
posts. The pres.ld 'lit jumped upon the
table which had been placed in the
speakers balcony and cried out to the
men of Virginia to live up to their
tradttlans of gallantry and cease the
pushing and crowding which was
threatening the lives of the vv nun
and children In the assemblage.
The crowd he sled the president's
warning, hut when he had guttled
down Into his speech tile inn use au-
dience became uneasy again and
those on the outskirts began to press
forward once more in their anxiety to
hear The president was Interrupted,
and mounted officers and men of the
United States cavalry were called in
to take charge. They rode up and
d :wn along the front of the crowd
and gradually opened t up and re-
leved the pressure, wheh at one time
threatened to hurl all avalanche of
humanity against the president's
stand and the boxes occupied by the
diplomats. V detachment of artillery
men alsa were called into service and
the thousands of people settled down
into a peaceful assemblage.
The ceremonies were brief, the fea-
ture being the addresses, of Presi-
dent Tucker of the oxp sltion and
President Roosevelt. The lal',r at
the conclu-iou of Ills address, pressed
Ihe gold button which formally mark-
ed the opening of the commemorative
enterprise.

pensive and laborious campaign to

OKLAHOMA WHEAT NOW 60.8
Twenty Per Cent and 62.5 of Ojts, to
Be Plowed Up
Gl THRIE: Returns from "11 crop
correspondents of the Oklahoma board
of agriculture, representing 273 town
: hips, compiled by Secretary C. A.
XIcNabb, show whear crop condition
fin.8 per cent of normal and oats crop
oc!y about 30 per cent, which means
a total I :ss in the more important
counties. The green bug is held pri-
marily responsible for the damage to
both crops. The original wheat acre-
age is damaged 35 per cent by the
pest.
In several counties, notably Cana-
dian, Comanche and Logan, there will
probably be no wheat harvested.
Damage is reported from every coun-
ty except Day, which grows very little
wheat. The I ss is heavy in all ex-
cept northwest counties, where the
wheat crop is always light. In the
large wheat counties the lowest dam-
age is in Woods, where it was 13.5
per cent. Additional reports since
show it may reach 25.
The largest is in Kingfisher. 67.S.
Only one report in < ighteen there j
showed less than "i0 per cent dam- I
age. In the rest of the wheat belt |
proper, the damage runs from 20 per j
cent In Kay to fin in Noble. Twenty j
per cent cf wheat will be plowed up. [
The original wheat acreage is 8 per
cent less than last year. Twenty-one
counties show a decrease; only five
an increase, and those are in the
northwest.
Oats damage by green bugs Is 70
per cent. No damage Is reported from
Day and Woodward, and practical!,
none from Heaver and Dewey. All
others suffered heavily. Wherever a
field of oats is attacked the destruc-
tion Is complete, not in spots like
wheat.
The original oats acreage is heav-
ily Increased over last year, averaging
27.1 per cent for the territory The
proportion of oats that will be plowed
up on account of bug damage is esti-
mated at (12.5 per cent. It is difficult
to tell what crops will be (put In
where fields are plowed up. Labor
Is scarce In many localities and fields
may lie fallow till wheat planting
