Washington, June 10.-Orders
have g one lurtli from the depart-
xii«*nt ot justice lor iIr- concentration
of the greatest federal maehinerj in
tlu- eastern district of Oklahoma that
lias ever been centered in a judicial
district. Suiw are to be instituted
immediately for ihe cancellation and
unnu.iinent and setting aside of more
than .'nit deeds and powers of at-
torney >der which deeds and other
conveyances have been executed. Ev-
ery per- ■!i whose name iloes not ap-
pear on any one of the tribal rolls
but who is in possession of any of
tribal property is to lie dispossess-
ed and the affairs of the five civil-
ized tribes are to be wound up as
quickly as possible.
Fpwards of fifty offioars of the de-
partment of Justice and the interior
department and special attorneys are
to be put to work immediately, and
as soon as he cases can be filed, the
people of the eastern district will
witness, for the first time in the his-
tory of this country, six federal
judges holding court in one judicial
district simultaneously. This is to
be effected by assigning district judg-
es in Iowa, Kansas, Washington,
Missouri and Arkansas to the eastern
district of Oklahoma-
The judicial wheels are to be set
in motion ami sessions of United
States district courts are to be held

eously, and continue in se
the eases instituted have
posed of.
District judges from various
states assigned to the eastern judi-
cial district will be relieved from
time to time by various other judges
from other states.
This plan has been decided upon
between officers of the department of
justice and the interior. As a re-
sult of these conferences, the con-
clusion has been reached that unless
speedy and drastic measures are re-
sorted to that conditions in the east-
ern district might remain unsettled
for year* to come. No more suits
are to be brousrht. but all prosecu-
tions are to be instituted in the name
of the United States.
Separate suits will not be insti-
tuted, but several hundred fraudu-
lont conveyances will be included in
one suit. Just before adjournment
congress appropriated $50,000 for
this work. It became apparent that
this would not permit the department
to proceed along the lines agreed
upon for more than sixty days. A
search was instituted for available
funds from other sourees that could
be used for this work and a fund of
•$140,00(1, apix rpriated forty years
ago, was made immediately available
and is to continue available until ex-
pended. Money which has never been
used was discovered. This fund will
be utilized in prosecuting eases in the
eastern district.
It is estimated that $250,000 will
be expended by the time congress
convenes in December, and an emer-
gency appropriation of sufficient
funds to carry on the work will be
asked. This is the most stupendous
undertaking that has ever been in-
augurated in the history of this coun-

Jack Sanderson's
Narrow Escape
Yesterday will be a day long re-
membered by Jack Sanderson, oil well
shooter for the Western Torpedo com-
pany.
Yesterday morning he started with
his wagon loaded with 240 quarts
of nitroglycerine, to shoot a well, and
had to cross Four Oaks creek- When
he got to the stream he found it
Mr. Davis spoke for two hours
and forty-seven minutes, but his ef-
fort* proved unavailing as Judge
Flannelly overruled all of his objec-
tions and when the attorney had con-
cluded, declining to grant a new trial
the judge pronounced sentence on
Killion.
Killion, when asked the formal
question as to whether he had any-
thing to say why sentence should not
be pronounced upon him, remained
silent. Judge Flannelly did not give
ad rice or talk about the deed com-
mitted to the prisoner- He merely-
read the law and pronounced the
sentence to the effect that the prison-
er should be confined in the state
penitentiary for the rest of his natur-
al life.
When the words were spoken
which made Killion a prisoner be-
hind grim walls for life, he did not
change expression. He merely look-
ed at the judge intently, but uttered
no exclamation.
In fact, he maintained the same I
apparent stolid indifference as dur-
ing the progress of his trial.
In his last journel from the court
house to the jail he was also silent.
There was no argument for the
state, although County Attorney Bu-
cher, A. 15. Clark and Deputy County
Attorney Hanlon were in court.
Mrs. Killion was not present when
her husband was sentenced. She
was in town all day yesterday, wait-
ing for the case to be argued and
went home last night. She did not
get in the city this morning until too
late to hear the case and only arriv-
ed at the court house just as Killion
was being taken away, with the life
sentence over him.
As to just when Killion will be
taken to the penitentiary by the
sheriff is not known. Nor will the
officers disclose their intentions in
this matter.

WILL SEEK IMMUNITY IF
HENRY STARR SURRENDERS
Tulsa, Ok., June 10.—A movement
is on foot to get Henry Starr, who
has been accused of several bank rob-
beries in the state, to surrender him-
self. Henry has been accused of ev-
ery robbery that has been commit-
ted in the country during the past
six months and those who know him
declare that he is innocent ot all
charges. He has been living quietly
in Oklahoma for some time, and it is
known positively that the crimes he
has bi-eu charged with in tin past
were not committed by him. and
that he was many miles away from
the scene of action.
Henry Starr is not a bad fellow.
It is true that he was wayward whil<
young, and fell in with bad company
in the bandit days of the Indiat,
Territory, and was sentenced to the
penitentiary for life. A few years
ago he was pardoned, and many a
time --ince. lie gained his liberty his
name lias been linked with that of
some robbery or other crime. Know-
ing how hard it is to prove his in-
nocence. iu a country where there it
prejudice against him. lie decided to
hide out, until the true outlaws ar ■
captured.
The matter will be taken up will
the governor, and an effort made to
grant him nti armistice in the event
he surrenders, so he can live hap
pi I\ w ith his family again
Henry's many friends are inter-
esti'g themselves in the movement.
Then* practically no feeling against
Starr, and it almost goes without
saying that should he give himself
up, nothing further would come ol'
the troubles.

to grow mad with fear, and refused
to try to pull the wagon through the
creek. Noting this fact, Mr. Sand-
erson himself got into the water aud
unhitched the team at almost the
peril of his own life, but did not
avail anything, as the horse that caus-
ed the trouble succeeded in pulling
its mate under the water and both
were drowned.
The team was valued at $400.
Sanderson then let loose his hold on
the wagon and had to swm to reach
the shore, and when he did, Was al-
most passed going.
Assistance of other men made it
possible to recover the wagon and

brought to town by Mr. Freiberger,
an oil lease man, who happened to be
in that neighborhood.

Cortelyou is Roosevelt's Choice
Washington, June 10.—Indications
are multiplying that Secretary Cor-
jteloyu will be advanced by the
Roosevelt and Taft forces at Chicago
as their candidate for vice president.
Secretary Cortelyou naturally declin
ed to discuss the matter of his candi-
dacy for the very sufficient reason
that his native state has already in
the field a possible candidate for the
presidency in the person of Govern-
or Hughes.
That fact has so far operated to
prevent any open exchanges between
the friends of Secretary Cortelyou and
Secretary Taft's managers. But it
can now be stated as a fact that in
the opinion of his friends the time
has come when Secretary Cortelyou
should be placed in a position to be
recognized as New York's candidate
for the vice presidency iu the event
of the elimination of Hughes from
the presidential race.
As a necessary step to a successful
campaign in that direction, there had
first to be ascertained the attitude
that President Koosevel and Secre-
tary Taft would assume toward Sec-
retary Corteiyor'« aadidacy.
