SUSPECT GREEKS OF PEONAGE
'. ffciala Investigate Alleged Prao-
ticea of Foreign Immigrate Co
MUSKOGEE: Evidence is being
gathered In Muskogee by which it ia
believed proof will be ahown that tbe
Greeks who have been settling in the
towns of the southwest during thu
pn&t three years, are conducting a
secret but effecutal system of peon-
age, whereby there are hundreds of
Gieek boys being held in practical
I'Kindage and their earnings turned
jver to their maaters.
There are nearly 200 Greeks in
Muekogee. Recently It was noted
that the number of boys from 12 to
Hi years of age was very large and
increasing with astonishing rapidity.
Stories that these boys were being
held under a system of peonage e-
san to circulate. Most of these boys
cannot speak English. Those who
can are carefully watched by the men
for whom they work.

GUTHRIK: Answering a letter
from E. M. West, of Anadarko, who
inquired whether, In the event of the
aickness and absence of a county at-
torney, where the attorney has a dep-
uty and where the district Judge ap-
points a county attorney, the regular
prosecutor and the court's appointee
both receive full pay, Attorney Gener-
al West rendered this opinion:
"The county attorney is entitled to
full pay as long as he occupies his
office; the compensation of the spe-
cial assistant for the conduct of a
particular case is fixed by the district
judge and paid by the county commis-
sioners; the salary of the regular
deputy attorney by ctiBtom is tixed by
the county commissioners."
