cer will case which was before th6
court for three days last week has
been brought to a close by the an-
nouncement of Judge Burford before
whom the case was tried that the
will would not be allowed to be pro-
bated This will probably end Mr3
Cartwright’s claim to any share in
the $50000 estate of J D Spencer as
there will be no appeal
"It is very clear to my mind” said
Judge Burford "that these' names
were not put on there by the persons
who are purported to have signed it
Taking all the evidence in the case
the handwriting and the circum-
stances under which it is claimed it
was found the circumstances undei
which the names of witnesses got ot

NOTORDERED OUT
NO GENERAL STRIKE HAS BEEN
ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL
MINERS’ BOARD
A CENERAL STRIKE MAY BE AVERTED
Officers May Sign Contracts at Rate
of Scale in 1905— Miners are to Quit
Work Where Contracts Expire Until
New Ones are Signed
INDIANAPOLIS: No general strike
order has yet been issued by the
national executive board of the United
Mine Workers as a result of the all-
day meeting of that body here Satur-
day The meeting was held for the
purpose of completing arrangements
to carry out the policy committed to
the board during the national conven-
tion of the miners which closed Fri-
day afternoon This was made effec-
tive by authorizing the district and
sub-district officers' to sign contracts
wherever the operators signify their
willingness to pay the 1903 scale
which provides for an Increase of 555
per cent in wages
Tho district officers and board mem-
bers have notified the local unions that
the miners may cease work at the ex-
piration of the present wage scale at
midnight and remain out until ordered
back to work under a new contract
President John Mitchell refused to
discuss the outlook He will leave
Indianapolis and will be in New York
in time to meet the miners committee
that meets this week
WILL AWAIT DEVELOPMENTS
Indian Territory Miners Will “Knock
Off” Work for a Time
SOUTH McALESTER: Thirty thou-
sand miners carried their tools from
the mines at the sound of the whistle
Saturday afternoon and appeared at
the pay office for their cash There
was no excitement The men rather
expected a settlement of the strike
before the day closed Of the one
hundred and seven mines in the terri-
tory three or four will start work as
usual Monday morning The Milby
& Dow mines at Dow and the Degnan
mines at Wilburton are likely to start
At Coalgate the management hopes
to resume work but the union is
strong in that place and it is believed
the leaders will hold the miners in
line What now appears to be the
first serious possibility for conflict
developed when the engineers and
pumpers in the employ of the Rock
Island coal company refused to work
The mines In this section are bothered
with water and pumps are operated
day and night The operators say
they are compelled to keep the pumps
in operation If all of the engineers
walk out they will likely seek to in-
fluence non union engineers who will
be pressed into service Here then
will come the first serious trouble of
the strike
Miners Will Remain Away
PHILADELPHIA: When the mine
workers in the anthracite field finished
their week’s work there was every
Indication that the order of the scale
committee of the United Mine Work-
ers of America suspending operations
pending the result of another confer-
ence with the operators would be
generally obeyed Reports from
every district received here are to the
effect a majority of the mine workers
intend to remain away from the work-
ings until further instructions are
received from President Mitchell and
the members of the scale committee
A new cotton gin and a flouring
mill are to be added to Wewoka’s en-
terprises CHICAGO’S COAL SHORT
Manufacturers’ Inventory Show Only
About Thirty Days Supply
CHICAGO: With the immediate
prospect of a big miners’ strike and un-
attending possible coal famine the fuel
problem has changed completely in
Chicago The reports of “sixty day
supplies” of coal dwindled to but half
that amount when Inventories were
taken preparatory to meeting the
serious problem which now confronts
street railways and manufacturers in
the city
With the opening of business houses
Saturday there was a scurry after fuel
never before seen in the history of
Chicago More than 40000 tons of
coal were hauled from railroad yards
and coal yards during the day The
price of various grades of soft coal
rose 75 cents a ton during the day
The city council of Bartlesville has
found it nece§sary to pass an anti-
nitroglycerine ordinance The meas-
ure provides a fine of $25 for any per-
son keeping the explosive in the town
or hauling it through the streets
NO SPECULATION
Operators WCII Cut Off Supply of Any
One Speculating on Coal
PHILADELPHIA: It was stated at
the office of the Philadelphia and Read-
ing and Iron company that the opera-
tors had determined to use every
effort to keep the price of coal within
reasonable limits
“Any dealer” said an official of the
company “who seizes the present situ-
ation as an excuse to speculate will
have his supply cut off”
OBJECTIONABLE PART RESTORED
Senator La Follette Requests Presi-
dent to Blue Pencil Indian Bill
WASHINGTON: President Roose-
veit has been urged to veto a bill pro-
viding for a settlement of the affairs
of the five civilized tribes because it
Is likely to contain a paragraph per-
mitting the leasing of coal lands to
railroad companies Senator La Fol-
I lette of Wisconsin talked to the presi-
dent about the bill He said he had
learned that the paragraph which he
opposed and had sucoeeded in having
stricken from the measure while i(
was pending in the senate was to bf
restored by the conferees The sena-
tor strongly urged the president to
veto the bill in the event of its pass
age with the objectionable paragraph
restored The president did not indi-
cate what he might do but promised
to consider the matter when it reached
him
CONSENTS TO COURT REVIEW
The President Agrees to an Amend-
ment in the Rate Bill
WASHINGTON: Friends of the
house railroad rate bill in conference
with President Roosevelt agreed upon
an amendment providing specifically
for Judicial review of orders of the
interstate commerce commission This
amendment will be presented by Sena-
tor Long a pronounced opponent of
any amendment which would permit
the railroads to obtain a review of a
character amounting to a retrial of the
merits of the commission’s order
A number of the conferees previous
ly had seen the draft but its author:
ship was not disclosed The president
announced that he had decided upon
the meeting because he desired tc
ascertain the present state of feeling
in congress regarding a judicial re-
view feature in the legislation It was
made clear that he had not changed
his views regarding the pending bill
and similar stands were taken by tho
others The president thought how-
ever that in deference to the large
number of senators who honestly be
lieved that the bill without such a fea-
ture would be unconstitutional the
bill should be amended if it could be
done without a surrender of the pur-
poses of the legislation 1 This could
be done he believed by an amendment
which he then read

Trick Which is Called

tion providing for the re-enrollment
of the bill with the two desired amend-
ments ' added Delegate McGuire
wanted him to re-introduce the bill
with the new provisions included and
put the matter through in the usual
manner but Stephens insisted on the
short cut via joint resolution a
method sometimes but not commonly
in vogue Keifer of Ohio objected
to this method of legislation and
Stephens could not get unanimous con-
sent to consider the resolution Things
looked squally for a while for the
measure and it took lots of persuasive
work on the part of the friends of the
bill to overcome the objection met all
down the line against the joint resolu-
tion The $30000 waterworks bond issue
voted recently by the citizens of
Atoka has been approved by the sec-

TRANSACTION ILLEGAL
Attorney Who Prosecuted Horace
Speed May Have to Return Fees

Speed here will make an effort to com-
pel Attorney Sam Harris of Perry to
refund to Pawnee county the $2000
which he received from the county
commissioners for pushing their case
against Mr Speed on the charges
which finally led to his dismissal from
office as United States district at-
torney The claim thnt his fee was
illegal Is based on the' decision hand-
ed down by the Oklahoma supreme
court at its last session In the case ot
the county commissioner of Logan
county vs the State Capital Printing
company wherein the court declared
that the county attorney was the per-
son duly authorized to look after the
legal business of the county and that
the county commissioners had no au-
thority to employ additional counsel
except at the request of the county
attorney
They further point to the fact that
suit was brought against Speed be-
cause his fee of $8000 for the collec-
tion of $60000 was alleged to be ex-
orbitant while Harris was paid $2000
out of the $5000 which Speed turned
