FEARS STANDARD
OIL PRODUCERS MUST EITHER
CLOSE DOWN OR PLAY A LOS-
ING GAME
THE SMALL WELLS WILL BE PROFITLESS
Last Reduction in Price Will Cut
Down Profits to Owners—Many
Large Wells May be Closed—At the
Standard's Mercy
MUSKOGEE: Indian Territory oil
producers realize that they are in a
fair way to be forced either to close
down most of their producing wells
or else lose a lot of money operating
them and selling the product to the
Standard Oil company. A territory
producer says that the last cut of five
cents made by the Standard would
render all wells in the territory pro-
ducing fewer than twenty-five barrels
of oil a day profitless, and many of
the larger ones will be run at a loss,
except where circumstances are fa-
vorable to them. The Muskogee field
proper, which is a small one produc-
ing high grade oil, will suffer less
than the fields in the northern part
of the territory. At Muskogee there
Is an independent refinery that can
and is handling t\bout all the produc-
tion of this field. The Standard com-
pany has never made a fight on this
refinery nor on this field. The in-
dependent company is paying ninety
cents for Muskogee oil. Oil in other
fields is selling front fifteen or. eigh-
teen cents lower than this quotation.
The operation of the independent re-
finery here may draw the fire of the
Standard to this particular feld. The
small producing wells in fields out-
side of Muskogee will be the first to
be closed down. They cannot be
operated at a profit because of the
prevailing prices, and they have no
possible way of marketing their oil
except through Standard channels.
Not only are the producers handi-
capped by the low prices under this
cut, but by a lack of facilities. The
Standard pipe line cannot handle the
oil as fast as it is produced, and
when the storage tanks are full some-
times a producer has to wait a week
before he can tap his tanks, though
they are standing full. The pro-
ducers of Indian Territory have
rather favored the Standard, as they
realized they were at the mercy of
the big company, but under the pres-
ent conditions, except the large pro-
ducers, the field is at a standstill,
which seems to presage a general
shut down.
Tulsa Operators Not Worried
TULSA: The reduction of prices
paid for crude oil in Kansas, which
governs the price in the territories,
if done to reduce the operation in the
fields, has been ineffective in the vl-
ciuity of Tulsa. Drilling continues
in every direction and a canvass of
the operators and drillmen in the
city shows eight new contracts made
after the reduction was told of in a
local paper.
It is freely predicted among the oil
men that the price will go down as
low as twenty-five cents In this field.
Some of the more radicals insist that
the price will decline to fifteen cents
before the bottom is reached.
Citizens of Beaver City have pur- I
chased all the stock of the Beaver i
City bank and have reopened it. for j
business. They paid the receiver j
$17,200, and none of the depositors ;
are to lose a cent as a result of the
failure of the bank. The stock was
purchased at par.
The citizens of Davenport will vote
upon the proopsition of incorporation
on May 2.
The Union National bank of Pur-
cell has been authorized to begin

each.

Shot Went Wild, But Man Is Held
SHAWNEE: William Perryman
has been placed In the county jail
in default of $500 bond. He is charged
with having shot at John Donohue. a
young man residing in the south part
of the city. At a dance given Dono-
hue and Perryman became involved
in a quarrel. Perryman secured a
target rifle and shot at Donohue, but
the intended victim esaped injury.
PAYING TRIBAL TAX
Merchants Are Offering No Resist- |
ance to the One Per Cent Tax
ARDMORE: The tribal tax col-
lectors representing the Chickasaw
nation have begun the collection of
of the merchant tax here. The
amount of tax to he collected is one
per cenl on the valuation of the stock
of the dealer, and In some instances
is quite heavy. The merchauts have
heretofore resisted the payment of
the tribal tax on the ground that it
was unjust, but the decisions of the
courts have upheld the validity of the
tribal lax law. and in nearly all sec-
tions visited by the collectors pay-
ment has been made. Every legal j
renugiy was tried in an effort to de-
feat payment, but the decision of the
federal courts have made it impos-
sible for the merchants' to escape, and
they have submitted to the inevitable.
SENATOR PLATT IS DEAD
The Connecticut Statesman Dies in
Washington of Pneumonia
WASHINGTON: Senator Orvllle
Hitchcock Piatt of Connecticut, died
at his summer home In Washington,
his native town, from pneumonia. The
end came almost unexpectedly, the
Immediate cause being the breaking
of an abscess which had formed on
tho right lung, and which produced
strangulation. When the physician
left the sick chamber the patient was
perfectly conscious, appeared to have
no pain and had answered questions
put to him by I hose at the bedside,
showing that his mind was clear. In
the room at the time of tho death of
Senator Piatt were Mrs. Piatt and
the only son of the family. Judge
James B. Piatt of the United States
circuit court.
Senator Piatt contracted a severe
cold while the Swayne Impeachment
trial at the national capital was in
progress before the senate. He had
not fully recovered from it at the
time of Senator Hawley's funeral. He
stood In the railway station at Hart-
ford for some time awaiting the ar-
rival of the train on which General
Hawley's body was brought from
Washington. During the wait he
complained of a light chill, in conse-
quence of which, after the funeral
services at the capitol, he returned
to his country home in Washington.
MAY KNOW SOMETHING
Secretary Morton Will Probably be
Called Before Senate Committee
WASHINGTON: It is currently
reported that the senate committee on
interstate commerce, which is n:>w
investigating the subject of proposed
rate regulation, will summon Secre-
tary Paul Morton, bead of the navy
department, to testify before it re-
gard to the subject of granting re- [
bates.
Mr. Morton told the interstate com-
merce commission some lime ago, be-
fore he was made secretary of the
navy, and while he was at the head
of the traffic department of the Santa
Fe railroad, that his rpad had granted
many thousands of dollars in secret
rebates to the Colorado Iron and Fuel
company.
It is understood that, there was con-
siderable discussion of a spicy char-
acter in the executive session of tha
investigating committee over the pro-
posal to summon Mr. Morton. The
decision to have him appear before
the committee was reached by a close
vote. He has not yet been sum-
moned. His confession that the of-
ficials of tho Santa Fe road had vio-
lated the law against granting re-
bates could not be used against him
in a criminal prosecution, as the law
provides that statements made be-
fore the commerce commission shall
not be used against witnesses. Of
course there will be no criminal prose-
cution resulting from any statement
made before the senate committee.
NEGOTIATIONS BEGUN
Chicago Officials Are Considering Mu-
nicipal Ownership
CHICAGO: Negotiations for the
purchase of the Chicago street rail-
ways have been opened between the
representatives of the traction com-
panies and the city. A proposition
is pending under which the companies
will at once proceed to moronlze their
lines and sell to the city at a fair
price, thus getting rid of all legal
complications and securing immediate
municipal ownership. The nearest
approach to definite results obtained
from the conference was en agree-
ment of a joint conference to be hfld |
soon by the mayor, the traction in-
terests and the city council com-
mittee on transportation.
Fire, caused by lightning, burned
the barn of George Annin, residing
near Stroud. The stock and
chinery were burned, causing ;

WATCHING TOGO
JAPANESE POSITION IS THE CEN-
TRAL POINT OF INTEREST IN
COMING NAVAL BATTLE
RUSSIA'S COMBINED FLEET TOO STRONC
Japanese Fleet Is Ready to Sail—Rus-
sia's Position Is Considerably
Stronger, Both in Number and
Armament
LONDON: The British public is
now beginning to realize how much
depends on Togo's skillful conduct of
the approaching naval contest. Until
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky actually
arrived in the straits of Malacca there
was a disposition to ridicule the ef-
forts of the Russian squadron. But
now that there is seen to be a grow-
ing likelihood of Vice Admiral Neb-
ogatoff joining Rojestvensky before
the struggle opens, interest Is deep-
ening.
According to a Tokio correspondent
of a news agency, a momentous war
conference, lasting five hours, was
held there on Wednesday, attended
by the elder statesmen, the premier
and ministers. It Is not difficult to
conjecture the nature of the council's
deliberations.
Tokio correspondents state that
Japan has addressed a protocol to
France on the Russian Pacific squad-
ron's presence in Kamran bay, but
that France has not yet replied. The
Telegraph's corcrspondent. at Tokio
declares that a Japanese fleet is
ready to sail for Kamrah bay.
The Telegraph's Hongkong corres-
pondent states that two steamers
which passed close to Kamrah bay on
Sunday report that no Russian ves-
sels were then visible. No news, how-
ever, has reached London to show-
that the Russians have left Kamrah
bay, and it is assumed that they are
still there.
The Post, commenting on the situ-
ation, contends that it Is a matter of
urgent importance, especially consid-
ering Great Britain's world .wide na-
val interests, to endeavor to secure a
more definite international agree-
ment on the question of neutrality
and the use of neutral waters by
belligerents.
MAY DAY IN RUSSIA
Organized Meetings and Parades to
be Held in All Industrial Centers
ST. PETERSBURG: May day
demonstrations on a grand scale
throughout the empire is the program
of the socinlist wing of the reform
party, as announced at the pan-Rus-
sian congress of journalists, after a
protracted and stormy session. The
congress Illustrated the lack of unity
in reform circles, the program as
finally adopted falling to touch many
live questions of the hour on account
of the inability of harmonizing the
views of the elements. At the con-
clusion neither side was satisfied with
the program. The moderate faction,
which was in the majority, eliminated
a number of recommendations In def-
erence to the wishes of the socialist
democrats. The platform generally,
and especially the plank of organized
meetings and parades in every city
and industrial center of Russia on
May 14, to which they were unable to
gain concurrence of other elements,
will be carried out regardless of the
congress. They disclaimed any in-
tention of rioting, but declared that if
the police attempted to break up the
demonstrations the government would
be answerable. The chief accom-
plishment. of the congress was its de-
termination to organize an association
which will participate in the general
work of the reform league of all the
professional classes, in which the
lawyers took the first steps at their
recent congress here.

minutes.
Has Been Recruited to the Strength
It Had Before Mukden
ST. PETERSBURG: M. Taborno,
correspondent of the Associated
Press, has returned from Manchuria
for a short visit during the lull in
operations there. He says he does
not expect serious fighting for at
least a month or six weeks. He says
the Russian army, which is occupy-
ing a line southward of Sipinghai, is
busy with reconnaisances as far south
as Cliantufu, and has already been re-
cruited to the strength it had before
the battle of Mukden. Many of the
wounded have returned to the ranks
and the morale Is excellent The
present position of the army is
strong, and has many strategfitic ad-
vantages.
Bloodhound "Pointed Out" Negro
WICHITA. KAN.: John Lewis, the
Chickasha. I. T., negro held in jail
at Coffeyvllle with a score of others
accused of inciting riot, was twice
"pointed" by Detective Stevens' blood-
hounds, after they had taken up the
trail of the negro who assaulted Mrs.
John Griffith. Coffeyvilie officers have
strong evidence against Lewis, ac-
cording to Stevens; who has returend
to Wichita with his hounds.
So trust a friend that there will be
no place for an enemy.

Selling of Liquor to Allotted Indians
Does Not Apply to Territories
GUTHRIE: Horace Speed, United
States attorney for Oklahoma, holds
that ther ecent opinion of the United
States supreme court, deciding an al-
lotted Indian in Kansas may buy in-
toxicating liquors, does not affect the
allotted Indians in Oklahoma. He
maintains that the decision was based
upon the fact that congress has no
jurisdiction to exercise police power
relative to the sale of liquors In a
state, but adds that it has this right
in a territory. The law of 1897.
therefore, prohibiting the selling or
giving away of whisky to an Indian
is still operative in a territory, and
It continues to be a violation of law
to sell to an Indian where the sale
is made in a territory.

ippines in the Spanish-American war
and later re-enlisted in the regular
army, has been recommended for gal-
lantry by Gen. Wood, and will receiv#
a medal of honor from the war de-
partment.
Under fire of the enemy, during a
Philippine engagement young Zink
carried the bodies of two wounded of-
ficers to a place of safety while a
perfect hall of oMro bullets whizzed
about him. Besides this incident, he
distinguished himself in many other

GUTHRIE: Congressman Charles
Curtis of Tepeka. Kan., is coming to
Oklahoma in the near future, accord-
ing to a statement made by his
uncle, General Hardy, the aged chief
and secretary of the Kaw Indian
tribe. Mr. Curtis and «>aeh of his
children have a valuable allotment in
the Kaw country, and the Kansas
congressman makes occasional vis-

PIRATES OF THE GANGES.
Benares River Police Capture Four
Boats and Many Flags.
Some four years ago a section of
river police, consisting entirely of
fishermen, was formed at Benares,
says tho Lahore Tribune, to maintain
law and. order on the river.
In course of time the men gained ft
good deal of Information regarding
crimes of piracy carried out by the
crews of boats trading between Mirz-
apur and Allahabad, and it was found
that these men visited the great wa-
terways of Bengal solely for the pur-
pose of piracy.
The result of much correspondence
and Investigation on the part of the
two governments was that, after some
captures had been effected by the Dne
ca police, the -Benares river police
were deputed to hunt down the pi-
rates who carried on their nefarious
business on the Brahmaputra.
They succeeded In capturing four
large pirate boats, and took from them
a number of flags, and the other day
these flags were duly presented to the
lieutenant governor of the United
provinces.
AN OPEN-DOOR PRISON.
Curious Penal Institution on the Isle
of Sark.
The most curious prison in the-
world Is in the island of Sark, a little
spot in the home dominion of King
Edward. They have very good folk in
Sark, says the Detroit Free Press,
and crime is so infrequent that an
"open-door jail" is the only penal in-
stitution in the place. There are very
few arrests. The most recent was of
a woman accused of stealing handker-
chiefs.
She was placed.in jail and all of the
sympathizing women of the island
sat around the door and told stories
io pass away the time. The next
morning she walked out to the magis-
trate's house and asked whether he
would release her if she promised to
lie good and not steal any more hand-
kerchiefs. He said she might go and
formally released her in his capacity
as warder. As constable also he of-
fered no obstacle to her immediate de-
parture.
This ir^ular Pooh Bah, In fact., is as
*mich a curiosity as the jail.

The Hat on the Steeple.
When the late Rev. Elijah Kellogg
v. as a young man he attended Bow-
ooin college. One Sunday morning as
the students were going to church r
tall silk hat was discovered on top
of the church steeple. There was
much conjecture as to how it got
there, and how it could be removed.
Finally the faculty offered a reward of
$10 to the person who would bring the
hat down. When the young and
sprightly Elijah brought them the hat
and claimed the reward they thought
further conjecture as to who placed
it on the steeple needless.
Ryder's Long Reach.
In a certain Cape Cod town lived
Uncle Joe Ryder, who, besides being
a very good man, was also a very tan
one. On one occasion sickness in the
family required the services of a
nurse, who, struck by his exemplary
conduct, was afterward telling some
ot her friends about him, ending her
remarks by saying: "And he always
asks a blessing before each meal."
"Asks a blessing!" exclaimed one
of her listeners. "Great Scott! I
don't see any need of his asking for
a blessing. He's tall enough to reach
up and take one!"
