WORSE THAN WAR
RUSSIA NOW FACES CERTAIN
CONFLICT—REVOLUTIONISTS
WILL FORCE A FIGHT
AN OUTBREAK IS LOOKED FOR HOURLY
Troops Will be Compelled to Fire—
Present Conditions Cannot be Over-
come Without Bloodshed—Kharkoff
in State of War
ST. PETERSBURG: That the pres-
ent situation cannot end without blood-
shed is the conviction prevailing in
the higher government circles, which
from moment to moment are expect-
ing a contlict between the troops and
the revolutionists in St. Petersburg,
and news of trouble in the provinces,
especially at Kharkoff .which has been
declared in a state of war. The gov-
ernor of Kieff has been instructed to
take all necessary measures to restore
oredr, which Che local government and
the commander of the troops are un-
able tb maintain.
One of the most prominent mem-
bers of the emperor's council received
the Associated Press report and said
with every evidence of deep emotion:
"The situation Is a grievous and a
painful one, and I see no way out of
it except by the employment of armed
force. Please do not misunderstand
me. I look upon (he prospect with
teprs, but it is becoming more and
more evident that the troops wil be
compelled to Are. I can see no other
possible outcome. The revolutionists
and terrorists are absolutely bent on
forcing a contlict upon us, and noth-
ing we can do will satisfy them. The
CHINA SENDS BRAIN TWISTER.
Absorbing Puzile of Ping Pong and
the Saucers.
China, as everybody knows, was the
birthplace—or one of the birthplaces,
for It had many parents -of the puz-
ile. Many of our best brain twisters
were I'nown to Chinamen thousands
af years ago. The following is a fas-
cinating little poser that we picked up
in our wanderings In China. It was a
favorite recreation of a certain Pong-
Plng. The puzzle that he Is shown In
the illustration to be engaged in solv-
ihg Is simply this: He has placed six
saucers or basins of graduated sizes in
a pile on one of his four mats, and he
wants to transfer the pile to one of
the other mat" by moving one saucer
at a time from mat to mat without
ever placing a saucer on one that Is
smaller than itself. This can be done
in seventeen moves if you go. about It
In the right way. Can >uii pbi form
the feat? If you can, then try to find
the fewest possible moves for remov-
ing a pile of ten saucers, and also a
pile of thirty-six.
A practical way of trying this puzzle
is to use a pile of counters numbered
1, 2, 3, 4, etc., downwards, and never
place a counter on another that has a

on the streets today that the Santa

to shoot the big well on next Satur-
day. The plans of the company re-
garding the further development of

the oil country firmly believe that

Big meetings were also held in the

buildings without attempting to cloak
the meetings with the guise of student

further meetings at the university.
Gen. Trepoff later placed halls In three
different parts of the city at the dis-

Business is completely suspended
Soldiers are evrywhere in the streets
and bloodshed on a large scale Is
feared. The government Is trying to

COTTON SITI'ATION.
)jirge Purchases Ry Exporters • «•
Damage From Frost* Are Bui-
lisli Influences,
Now York.—"Large purchases by
exporters and the crop estimate of
10,.100,000 by Miss Giles have had a
tendency to strengthen the market,"
Miller & Co. say in t"neir review of
the cotton situation. "The reports
of frosts In various districts of the
cotton belt have also added to the
bullish sentiment In the market and
lias caused frightened shorts to cover.
Should a killing frost occur all over
North Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee,
North Louisiana and the noithern
portions of Mississippi and Alabama.
It would undoubtedly cause great
damage to the vast amount of late
cotton in those sections of the belt.
It must not be forgotten, however,
that a large part of the short Interest
has been covered, and that a big new
long account has been built up. I his
Is a situation which weakens an
otherwise strong situation, and may
bring about a strong reaction even In
the face of extensive crop damage."

ALLEGED FORGER IN THE TOILS
C. C. Roberts of Vinita Must Answer
to the Charge of Embezzle-
ment in Denver.
Coffeyvllle, Kansas.—C. C. Rob-
erts, formerly of this city, now cash-
ier of the Vinita Savings bank, at
Vinita, I. T., passed through here
today In the custody of Sheriff J W.
Ronaldson of Denver. He will be
taken to Denver to answer charges
In connection with the failure of the
Denver Savings bank through the
mismanagement of its officials a few-
weeks ago. The Vinita bank is
branch of the Denver Institution and
It Is alleged that Roberts is therefore
tlso a party to the proceedings
against the Denver officials who will
have to answer the charge of embez-
ilement of $1,700,000. Roberts pro-
tests that he knowB nothing about
the alleged crookedness of the Den-
ver officials. While here he engaged
the services of J. P. Rossltor a* his
attorney and the latter accompanied
him to Denver.
Work Commenced.
Okyahoma City, O. T.—Work was
commenced today on the foundation
for the new $30,000 jail to be built
in this cltv. It will be situated to
the east adjoining the new court
house, and will probably be finished
about the first of the year. When
completed It will be the finest build-
ing of the kind in the territory.
Enid Man Is Missing.
Enid, O. T.—Jesse White, a prom-
inent Enid business man, who left
here two months ago for a tour of
the Northwest, mysteriously disap-
peared two weeks ago from Seattle,
and his friends here are greatly wor-
ried about him. He was not a man
who ever made any display of his
money, and would not have attracted
the attention of thugs in that way
CITIZENSHIP CASES.
Melvln Cornish Explains Washing-
ion Mtftiion.
Washington Me!.in Cornish, of
South McAlester, whose arrival in
the city coincldently with Secretary
Hitchcock's renewed consideration of
the Ardmore Indictments gave rise to
the report that he was here In co-
nectlon with that matter, states to a
correspondent today that his busl
ness here relates entirely to some
citizenship cases pending In the In-
terior department Mr Cornish said
he was not Informed as to what Sec-
retary Hitchcock Intended to do.
It was stated at the Interior de-
partment this afternoon that Secre-
tary Hitchcock adheres to the opin-
ion that Indictments growing out of
the contract of Mansfield. McMurray
& Cornish with the Chickasaw tribe
of Indians ought to be prosecuted.
The department of justice holds as
tenaciously to the view that they
ought to be dismissed, so that the
conferences held Wednesday and
Thursday between representatives of
these two departments were fruitless.
The department of Justice has
plenary powers In the mater, and it
could order a dismissal of these In-
dictments, notwithstanding Secre-
tary Hitchcock's protest. It Is not
likely to exercise this authority, how-
ever, but instead will submit the dis-
agreement to the President shortly
after Ills return. Therefore, he will
decide what disposition Is to bo mado
of this case.
RI HAL HOI IE CARRIER HELD.
Is < Imrged Willi l>lng the Malls to
Defraud.
Guthrie, O. T.— Sanders O. Han-
son, a rural free delivery carrier out
of Harrah, a small town In the east-
ern part of Oklahoma county. Is In
the Federal Jail here, charged with
using the malls to defraud, and In de-
fault of hull will probably remain
here until the grand Jury convenes.
Some months ago the postmaster at
Harrah received a package addressed
to .> man on Hanson's route, of whom
he had never heard On Hanson's
assurance that there was such a man,
the package was turned over to him.
It was from an eastern medicine
company manufacturing a catarrh
euro which was sold on a month's
trial.
A month or six weeks later a let-
ter from the same firm came for tue
same party, and was turned over to
Hanson, and after several weeks
more had elapsed a letter came to
the postmaster from the medicine
firm, Inquiring as to the reliability of
the pa 'y to whom the package and
the letter had been addressed and
saying that he had ordered the goods
on trial, but that they had not been
able to get any replies to their re-
quests for settlement. The postmast-
er turned the whole tiling over to the
postofHce Inspectors, and their Inves-
tigations resulted In the arrest of
Hanson, who is said to have con-
fessed to writing the letters under a
flctitlour. name.

HITCHCOCK AFTER
LAND GRAFTERS.
Will Bring Land Cases Before
the Federal Grand
Jury.
South McAlester, I. T.—Inspec-
tor Jenkins of the department of
the interior. Is hovering about South
KcAla*t*r. Quietly It tipped off
that he will remain l«.p the next
session of the federal grand Jury.
A party who has observed the
trend of affairs In the turritor) for
some time said today:
'It Is evldeut that Secretary Hitch-
cock Is seeking new ground to staud
on ns past master In the art of fer-
reting out graft. Recently the at-
torney general recommended that
the Indictments preferred against
tribal officers of the Chickasaw na-
tion be quashed. Socretary Hitch-
cock was directly responsible for
those Indictments. He sent Jenkins
t > tho Chickasaw nation weeks be-
fore the grand Jury convened and
kept him (here during the seulon.
The indictments wero forecasted
from Washington even before the
Jury had reported. Hitchcock made
a grand stand play when the report
was rendered and several men of
high standing were implicated In al-
leged grafting. Since them ths
smoke has blown away and It I* *ebu
that there was not much lire after
all. The attorney gontral looked up
the case and recommended that tha
matter be dropped. Hitchcock prob-
ably made a personal appeal to thn
president and Roosevelt overruled
the nttorney general's recommenda-
tion."

un'il late tonight. It Is of Inestim-
able value to the young wheat. Most
of the snow melted as It fell, but to-
night a layer of 3 Inches In depth

eral in Southern Kansas and North-
ern Oklahoma.

Pioneer Gets In ut South McAlester.
South McAlester, I. T.—The Plo-
neer Telephone company today pur-
chased a Interest In the South Mc-
Alester Telephone company, Henry
E. Asp, of Guthrie, and E. D. NIms,
of Oklahoma City, representing the
Pioneer company, closed the deal
with the local Interests. The com
pany will at once construct a cable
line from this city to Fort Smith.
This deal makes the Pioneer com-
pany one of the largest companies of
Its kind in the Southwest.
New Gans Are Satisfactory.
Lawton, 0. T.—Colonel William
Howe, of the Second provincial regi-
ment'of Held artillery, which ha*
been stationed at Fort Sill for four
months, has completed his report of
practice drills and maneouvers. He
praises the new guns, which wero

troops. This was the first artillery
regiment to make a practical test of
the new guns.
TO EX KM l*T LAND OF MINORS.
IIIII Would Relieve Tlirw-Fouitli* of
Creek l^iitU of Taxation.
Okmulgee, I. T.—Chief Ploaaant
Porter will have a bill Introduced In
the Creek council providing thnt
lands of minors In the Creek nation
cannot be taxed during the period of
minority.
Tho measure If passed and ap-
proved by the Interior department,
would exempt more than half of the
land In the Creek nation. At least
a fourth of It Is homestead allot-
ments, which can not be sold f<?r a
period of twenty-flvo years, and
therefore cannot be taxed. This
would exempt threo-fourtha of the
Creek farm lands.
Chief Porter contends that as
minor lands cannot be sold until tho
allottee reaches his majority there
Is no means by which the collection
of a 'ax could be enforced. The only
way to enforce the payment of a tax
Is by selling the land In default of
payment. As the treaties and agree-
ments expressly forbid the aliena-
tion of minor allotments, Biich a
proceeding would be Impossible with-
out violating tho agreements.
It Is of paramount Importance,"
said Chief Porter today, "that the
Creeks secure the pass-Age of a law
that will make the allotments of
minors non-taxable. A large propor-
tion of the minors under our guard-
ianship system ure realizing practi-
cally nothing from their allotments.
They are In the hands, who have no
responsiblble guardians to answer to,
and as a result the minor allottee re-
ceives no revenue from his land. In
many cases neither he nor his guard-
ian can even get possession of the al-
lotments. If taxation were Imposed
upon these minors, by the end of
their minority the taxes would havo
almost eaten up the value of the
land."
Chief Porter says that the condi-
tion of minor allottees In the Creek
nation is deplorable. By the present
law the parent cannot act as legal
guardian of the child without giv-
ing bond. As many of them cannot
afford to do thl , the child is left
without a guardian. In such cases
greedy lessees hold the land of the
minor and pay no rental upon It.
MINERS DISCl'SS NEW SCALE.
South McAlester, I. T.—Twice
during the past week the coal opera-
tors of the McAlester district have
met In executive session In the offi-
ces of the McAlester Fuel associa-
tion. They decline to give out their
proceedings for publication, but it
Is known that they are considering,
among other things, the anticipated
demand of the miners' union for an
increased scale.
At this meeting the proposed
changes will be debated In a friendly
manner and persons closely In touch
wl'.h both sides prophesy that an am-
icable adjustment will be made.
Cotton Price* Advance-
Davis, I. T.—The price of cotton
here has been advancing so rapidly
of late that farmers are bringing
their .cotton here from points forty
miles west of here. They say Davl*
I* paying considerably more for cot-
ton than any other town in th«
country.
