WAR SKIPS TURN SEARCHLIGHTS AND FIRE
Two Englishmen Killed—Others Are
Seriously Wounded—Intense Indig-
nation at Hull—Britain Sends Ur-
gent Ncte to Russia
HULll, ENGLAND: A. M. Jackson
& Comapny. solic tors for the owners
of fifty Hull fishing boats, have noti-
fied the foreign office and admiralty
of an attack on the Hull fishing fleet
by the Russian second Pacific squad-
ron. commonly known as the Baltic
squadron, commanded by Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky.
The official information is that,
shortly after midnight Friday, the
Russian squadron fell In with the
Hull fishing fleet, in the North sea.
The first portion of the fishing f:eet
passed singly. Then the Russian
ships turned their searchlights on the
British vessels for some time and a
little later opened rrre.
The steam trawler Crane was sunk
and the decapitated bodies of her
skipper and mate have been brought,
to Hull. The. boatswain and other
members of the crew, who are under-
stood to be seriously wounded, are on
board a mission ship. The only slight-
ly Injured member of the crew has
arrived at Hull.
From Interviews with memhe-s of
trawler crews It appears that the ad-
miral of the fishing fleet burned
green flares to show that, they were
harmless fishermen, but these signals
were ignored. Eighteen Injured mm
are here under treatment. One trawl-
er, the Wren, is missing, and it is
fe"red she has been Eunk.
The news has. created an intense
sensation and indignation in Hull.
The Moulmein arrived with her flag
at hilf mast. Her sMuper states that
the trawlers were fishing ab:>ut 22)
miles east by north of Spurn head,
the weather being hazy, when the
outlines of several vessels, apparently
warships, sailing in a line, were dim-
ly visible. Whilst the crew were
wateh'ng the warships, search] gilts
were fhshed upon t:ien, In the glare
of which the Moulmeln's crew ob-
served what they took to be torpedo
boats approaching, apparently with
the Intention of boarding the Moul-
m< in. They steamod away, however,
nnd soon the fishermen were horrified
tu find they were being fired upon.
LONDON: The British govern-
ment sent urgent notes of protest to
the Russian government on the re-
port. of the Russian attack on the

Russian ambassador in London.
ST. PETERSBURG: The authori-

this reason the censor declined to al-

LONDON: The inevitable delays of
diplomatic procedure appear to re
tard a complete and satisfactory set-
tlement of the a,cute differences be-
tween Great Britain and Russia aris-
ing from the deplorable North sea af-
fair. King Edawrd has received from
Emperor Nicholas htmseif a telegram
expressing the deepest regret and a
practical acknowledgement that Great
Britain's note will ipeet with a reply
conceding every demand for the act
of aggression against the British tlag,
compensation for sufferers and pun-
ishment for the officers responsible
for what is everywhere conceded to
have been a gigantic blunder, and the
Russian ambassador to the court of
St. James l as expressed to Foreign
Minister Lansdowne his sorrow and
sympathy. These developments have
allayed to some ex:ent the deep re-
sentment in the public mind, and the
admiralty has given evidence of lis
V-# -tion of the necessity of prov-
ing that it is prepared actively to sup-
port the position of the people of
Great Britain and fulfill the expecta-
tions of the world wren It issued t'.ie
following statement:

MISTOOK FISHING SMACKS FOR
JAPANESE TORPEDO BOATS
VlfcO. SPAIN: The Associated
Press has'succeeded in obtaining an
interview with Admiral Rojestvensky,
who expressed great regret over the
North sea incident. The admiral
•stated that the unfortunate occur-
rence was purely accidental. The
weather on the night In question was
rather hazy. About 1 a. m. two tor-
pedo boats, which the Russians sup-
posed were Japanese craft, suddenly
appeared between the two divisions of
the squadron and seemed to discharge
torpedoes. The Russians immediately
opened fire. They saw no fishermen
and were not aware that any damage
had been done. Evidently, the ad-
miral said, the fishermen had shown
no lights. The admiral repeated that
he greatly regrette.*. mat any Injury
had been done fishermen, and added
that he had no doubt the Russian
government would make ample com-
pensation.

tion Memorallzing Congress
MUSKOGEE: A resolution has been
introduced into the Greek council at
Okmulgee and adopted by the house
of kings declaring in favor of W;ja-
rate statehood for In<1ir.n Territory.
The re solution sets forth that since
Chief Porter in bis annual message
has expressed the belief that the
Creek peopled eslre a separate state
of Indian Territory, and the principal
chiefs of the five civilized tribes, at a
conference at Eufaula on May 21,
l?0:i, expressed their opposition to' a
single state with Oklahoma, "There-
fore. Be it resolved that It is the
sense of the Creek council that If

by the five civilUed tribes of the In-

A NEW RECORD FOR DAN PATCH
His Own Tirlie Lowered fey a Quarter
of a Second—A Mile in 1:66 Flat
MEMPHIS, TENIr: Dan Patch
paced the fastest mlie of any pacer,
circling the track In 1:56 flat. This
lowers his own record ef l-.o6yt,
made In 1902.
The wind shield used was the same
as that employed when Lou Dillon
trotted a mile in 1:58%. It consist-
ed of a strip of canvas about four
feet square attached to the sulky of
the running pacemaker.
Another sensational performance
was that of Major Delmar, E. E.
Smathers' trotting champion, when
he trotted a mile Co a high wheel
sulky in 2:07 flat. It was announced
by the Judges before the trial that
the sulky was non-ball bearing and
weighed 54V4 pounds. It was also
explained that the vehicle was of the
same pattern as that uesd by Maud
S in her memorable flight against
time In 1884, when she trotted a mile
In 2:08%.
COTTON PICKERS ARRIVING
Hundreds of Negroes Are Being Im-
ported From Texas
LAWTON: The cry of cotton
pickers throughout the new Oklaho-
ma, and the erforts put forth by the
commercial clubs, the business men
and the farmers have resulted in an
influx of pickers unpreedentad in
the history of Oklahoma. Representa-
tives of the farmers hare gone into
the boll weevil districts of south
and east Texas and are shipping ne-
groes into this country by the car
load. ;
Last week four hundred negroes
were brought in at. one time and dis-
tributed among the farmers of the
southwestern part of this county and
the southern, and eastern part of
Kiowa county. Other train loads
have been shipped to other counties,
and more will be brought here.
There Is little danger of getting
too many pickers here, for the cotton
prop is an enormous one, and the
farmers are desirous of getting it
picked before cold weather sets in.

Guarding Against Prairie Fires
MUSKOGEE: With the advent of,
frosts, prairie fires which are still'
dreaded in some parts of Indian Ter-
ritory, are beginning to make their
appearance in the central and western
portion of the Creek nation. The]
railroad companies have forces of i
men at work burning firebreaks1

their property. There have been sev-
eral prairie fires in the country west
of here and some damage has been
done to hay and other farm products.]

PER CAPITA PAYMENTS
A Resident of Chandler Taken In by
Confidence Men
OKLAHOMA CITY: As the Frisco
train was puli ng out of the city one
morning this week, three men wer^
seen to jump off, followed by a fourth
yelling "Stop thief!" A policeman
succeeded In catching one of the men.
The fourth man claimed to have been
robbed by the trio. The "lamb" gave
hfa residence as Chandler. While
wailing for the train to pull out two
men. cultivated his acqiia'ntan-e,
found out where he was going and
snld they also were going to Chand-
ler; that they were mule buyers and
hid some fine mules at Chandler.
When they got on the train and
just as it was pulling out a third
man came Into the car and presented
a bi.l for collection against one of
the mule buyers. The latter seamed to
be taken unawares. He said he had
not the $'!5 domandel, but exhibited
a check for $50, and would his new
found friend advance the amount on
thee heck until they reached Cmahn
the cheek until they reached Chand-
ler? The "lamb" banded over the
money and his new friend made for
the door and jumped from the train.
It was the old time confidence
game exploited in the newspapers
for many years, yet, as always, there
waa a fresh v ctlai.
DOCUMENT WITH A HISTORY
Distribution of Townslte Funds Has
Begun at Ardmore
ARDMORE: The Indian agents-
force reached Ardmore and began the
per capita payment of ?40to the Chick-
asaw Indian. The payment is made
out of the funds arising from the sale
of the townsites of the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations. The entire pay-
ment aggregates over a quarter of a
million dollars. It was annuonced that
Choctaw Indians residing in this na-
tion could draw their share of the
funds. Pauls Valley. Lindsay, Purcell,
Chickasha. Marietta and Colbert, in
the order named, are the towns des-
ignated for the payment.

Railroad Won in Condemnation Case
GUTHRIE: In a decision in a con
demnation suit on the part of a rail-
road against the territory at Chand-
ler the district court held that the
railroad had no title to school lands
and that the measure of damages for
taking the lands for use of a railway
is the rental value of the lands until
statehood shall be granted. This is a
blow to the territorial school land of-
flc* tn all cases where the lands are
taken by condemnation.

ty-two Years Being Ratified

valued very highly by the Creeks is
the copy of the old treaty made be
tween the United States government
and the Creek Indians February 12,
1833. assigning them their present
home in Indian Territory. It is printed
on parchment and bears the name of
Millard Fillmore, president of the
United States when the treaty was
finally ratified, August 11, 1854. The
long stretch between the two dates on
the document is the period of more
than twenty years which elapsed be
fore th? government cculd indu:e the
Creeks lo leave their homes in Ala-
bama and move to the new country.
The following clause in the old
treaty is pointed cut by those who
believe that the government has vio-
lated its agreement with the Creeks:
"The United States will grant a pat-
ent l'n fee simple to tne Creek nation
for the land assigned said nation by
this treaty or convention whenever
the same shall have been ratified by
the president and senate of the United
States, and the right thifs guaran-
teed by the United States shall be
continued to said tribe of Indians so
long as they shall exsst as a nation
and continue to occupy the country
hereby assigned to them.

GOVERNMENT HAS TEST CASE
Vehicles Seized in Which Liquor Is
Peddled Contrary to Law
MUSKOGEE: Two negroes, Les
and Jacob Holmes, were arrested by
deputy marshals at Wewoka on a
charge of introducing liquor into the
Indian Territory and brought here.
When the officer arrested the men
he also took possession of a buggy and
a pair of horses belonging to them.
This class of cases has not been tried
yet. but the prosecuting attorney, Mr.
Mellette, thinks there will be no dlffi-
cutly in securing convictions. The
first case of the kind will probably be
tried in the district court soon, and if
the law sticks there are other things
that wi l be confiscated besides bug-
gies and teams.
There are a number of horses and
buggies which the government is ho d-
ing in Ih's district awaiting the result
of the teat case. The officers are de-
termined to take every kind of con-
veyance in future that the peddlers
use in transporting liqupr.

Fads of Wealthy Women.
Some ot the smart New York wo-
men have a fad for 'cooking and have
favorite receipts. Mrs. Peter Martin
formerly Miss Lillian OelricbS, is a
devotee of the chaffing dish, and in-
vites her friends to the little suppers
where she presides over the chaffing
dish with great skill. She has a re-
ceipt for cooking reed, birds and potato
balls that cannot be excelled. Mrs.
John Jacob Astor loves salads and des-
serts and has discovered many new
combinations, the secreta of which sho
will not disclose. Her pride is mac-
aroon basket, for which the Ingred-
ients are prunes, macaroons, whipped

stye makes of Malaga grapes, bananas
orange Juice and shredded endive and
serves it in banana skins, with a mix-
ture of French dressing and mayon-

baked things, vegetables or fruits. One
of her luncheon dishes is original and

Cured Her Rheumatism.
Deep Valley, Pa., Oct. 31.—(Spe-
cial.)—There is deep interest in Green
county over the cure of the little
daughter of I. N. Whipkey of Rheu-
matism. She was a great sufferer for
five or six years and nothing seemed
to do her any good till she tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills. She began to improve
almost at once and now she is cured
and can ran and play as other chil-
dren do. Mr. Whipkey says:
"I am indeed thankful for what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter; they saved her from being
a cripple perhaps for life."
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved
that Rheumatism is one of the results
of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is
caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If
the Kidneys are right there, can be no
Uric Acid in the blood and conse-
quently no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills make the Kidneys right.
Marriage Custom in India.
As an instance of the extraordinary

gible for marriage.—Bombay Guard-

Mr*. Doherty has an Extraordinary Ex<
perlence and Undergoes a Marvelous
Change,
Mrs. E. Doherty, of No. 116 Coates
street, Moberly, Mo., is today a picture of
robust health, and yet fiveryears ago, she
barely escaped death from progressive
emaciation. To a reporter she told the
following story
"In 18961 began to have distressing-
attacks of indigestion that continued for
two years. My stomach was constantly
sore and burned as if it was on fire. It
became finally so delicate that it would
not retain eveu plain water. My inability
to take food reduced my weight to ninety-
eight pounds, and faintness and dizziness
kept me in bed most of the time. I was
really starving to death and besides I was
extremely nervous. The doctor was
perplexed. He gave me tonics which
did me uo*good, and prescribed exercise
which I was too weak to attempt.
"One day when I was so faint and
chilled that 1 could dovnothiug but crouch
down on the floor by the fire, my father
brought mo a box of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People.. I found on trial
that they would stay on my stomach un-
like everything else. I reijly felt better
after three doses and I kept on using
them. Food began to taste well and to
stay down. The paiu and the burning
in the pit of my stomach lessened and at
last went away altogether. * My weight
began to increase until it reached
105 pounds and my neighbors, who
were convinced that I was wasting to
death before, were astonished at the
change. I resumed my housework and
have hardly had occasion to call a doctor
siuce. 1 have recommended Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills to several friends, and
I say to the pale, thin oues particularly.
If yrfn want to get strong and well take
Dr.Williains'Pink Pills for Pale People."
These pills cure stomach trouble by
their tonic action, bnilding np the di-
gestive organs and enabling them to do
the work that nature intended them to
