NO CONFIRMATION OF NEWS OF BATTLE
Report From Amsterdam of a Battle
Has Not Been Confirmed, and Is
Discredited by Officials—Russian
Ships All Accounted For
LONDON: The Associated Press
Is able to confirm absolutely the state-
ment that the Russian battleships
passed Singapore going eastward on
April 8. so that all of Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky's squadron nre account-
ed for. This definite news In regard
to the battleships was sent to Singa-
pore by wireless telegraphy from the
China sea. It is presumed here that
the battleships passed further out
to sea than the rest of the squadron,
ience the divergent reports regarding
the number of ships.
LONDON: No confirmation has
yet been received in London of the
report from Batavia, Java, of a naval
battle off the Anambas Islands, and as
there Is no cable connection with
those islands, it Is difficult to see
how such news could have reached
Batavia before it arrived at Singa-
pore.
A dispatch to Lloyds from Singa-
pore practically confirms the Assort-
ated Press' first information regard-
ing the composition of the Russian
squadron, which passed there April 8.
Lloyd's agent says It was composed
of seven battleships, two armored
cruisers, five unarmored cruisers,
three converted cruisers, seven tor-
pedo boat destroyers, seventeen
steamers and hostipal ships and a
tug.
AMSTERDAM: A flght is now In
progress near the Anambas islands
(east of the Malay peninsular) ac-
cording to a telegram from Batavia,
Island of Java, to the Handelsblad
(newspaper). The dispatch adds that
five Dutch warships are near the
scene of battle. Details are lack-
ing.
NEW YORK: It is guardedly ad-
mitted in Tokio, according to the Ex-
press correspondent there, says an
American dispatch from London, that
Admiral Togo has completed his bat-
tle organization by dividing his fleet
Into three squadrons—flying, main
and reserve.
The flying squadron, made up of
his fastest cruisers, already is scout-
ing the China sea. and will open the
fighting; the main squadron, made up
of most of his battleships and ar-
mored cruisers, is to follow Into ac-
tion; the reserve squadron, compris-
ing the remaining battleships and
cruisers, will complete the attack, if
necessary, and guard against any at-
tack in the rear.
SAIGON, FRENCH COCHIN*
CHINA: The French cruiser, Des
Cart is. and five torpedo boats are
cruising off Cape St. James, near
here.
The French gunboats Acheron and
Styx are about to leave Saigon for
the purpose, it is said, of preserving
the neutrality of Franco in those
waters. The Des Cartes, which is
furnished with wireless telegraph ap-
paratus, has received several dis-
patches In a foreign code, which are
illegible.
Several Japanese ships, arc cruising
off the coast of Cochin-China for the
purpose of preventing the Russians
taking coal on board, and are making
reconnaissances.
A Chinese junk, which arrived here
recently, reported that two Japanese
vessels purchased supplies at Pulo
Obi. at the southern extremity of
Cochin-China.
In case a battle occurs off the
coast of Cochln-China the only inci-
dent anticipated by the French col-
ony here Is that the belligerents may
send disabled ships to this port.
JUDGE ALLISON KILLED
Aged Citizen of Snyder Run Over by
a Switch Engine
SNYDER: Judge W. M. Allison,
a well known man of southwestern
Oklahoma, was killed at Snyder by a
switching engine on the Frisco track.
He started to cross the track, unob-
servant of the locomotive, and as it
neared him he tripped over the rail
and fell prostrate. Both legs were
severed from the body, from the ef-
fects of which death resulted three
hours later. Judge Allison was
eighty-five years of ago, a native of
Ohio and an ex-union soldier. A
son of the dead man, W. M. Allison,
is the editor of the Snyder Signal-
Star, and a grandson, W. O. Allison,
is the editor of the Davidson Post
and 1'nlted States land commission-
er. At ono time Judge Allison was
well known in politics in Ohio.
OKLAHOMA PRAIRIE FIRES
Much Damage Reported From Greer
County
GUTHRIE: Disastrous prairie
fires are reported from Greer county,
in the vicinity of Erick and Texola,
where Addison Froat, Charles Smith,
Thomas Lively, Ell and Harvey
Koontz were heavy loosers. Thous-
ands of acres of pasture land were
burned over, and several barns, with
large quantities of grain, implements,
cotton and other farm property were
destroyed.
j After Eight Years of Freedom
caped Murder Is Killed
I SOUTH MCALESTER: Samuel
I Bartel, a deputy sheriff from Oklaho-
ma City, and John B. Rowell, a South
McAlester police officer, In a pitched
battle fifteen miles sou'h of Harts-
horne. killed Halley Isabel. Isabel
escaped from the Oklahoma county
Jail eight years ago. and had been at
large since that time. At the time
of Ills escape Isabel was under indict-
ment charged with the murder of
George and Herman Fox, brothers,
with whom he lived. The crime was
committed in 1897.
Rartel and Rowell, In company with
C. W. Garrison, sheriff of Oklahoma
county, left here to hunt for Isabel,
whom they learned r. few days ago
was living near Hartshorne under the
name of Zacharlah I^ove. They lo-
cated him in a thicket near his home.
When ordered to surrender Isabel be-
gan firing. The officers returned the
Are, and Isabel was killed, three bul-
lets striking him. His body was
brought here for identification, and
later was shipped to Oklahoma City.
Isabel made his escape from the
Oklahoma county jail eight years ago
through the assistance of a negro boy
who was acting as a trusty. The
jailer, A. Givens, was seized by Isa-
bel as ho was locking up the prison-
er's cell. After compelling the offi-
cer to give up his revolver, Isabel
locked him up and made good his es-
cape. He married under the name
of Ix)ve and lived quietly with his
family in the Choctaw nation.
The Fox brothers were killed fif-
teen miles east of Oklahoma City.
ASSESSORS' NEW WORK
Taxing of Oil Wells and Pipe Lines
May Bother Property Gatherers
GUTHRIE: The taxing of pipe
lines and oil wells seems to be one of
the big problems confronting the as-
sessors of the several counties Inter-
ested and the territorial board of
equalization. It is learned that a basis
for the taxing of such property Is
under consideration, similar to the
basis used in the Kansas field. The
board of equalization must decide
whether or not it has jurisdiction
over pipe lines as comma; carriers. In
all probability the following will be
the 1905 basis for the taxing of all
oil and gas properties:
Oil wells, $300 per barrel, dally ca-
pacity; oil in tanks, per barrel, GO
cents; gas wells, from $1,000 to $5,-
000.
Pipe lines: One-half inch lines, 2c
per loot; %-inch lines, 3c per foot; 1-
inch lftien, 4c; lVj-inch lines, 8c; 2
inch lines, 10c; 2%-inch lines, 15c; 3-
lnch lines, 22c; 4 inch lines, 30c; 5-
inch lines, ;;5c; 0-inch lines, 45c; 8-
lnch lines, 55c; 10-lnch, 91.10; l- inch,
$1.40; 16 Inch, $2.
Oil pumps and pumping plants,
from $500 to $1,000.
Oil tanks, per barrel, for wood and
galvanized iron, 25c; steel tanks, per
barrel, 50c.
This Is an entirely new question
for the assessors in Oklahoma to
handle. A representative o( the Stan-
dard Oil company was here recently,
endeavoring to ascertain what system
of assessing would be followed, but
at the time of his visit no informa-
tion was available. In fact, the above
basis Is the first Information on the
subject yet received.
Painting of the Penn Belt
MUSKOGEE: Jacob Parties of
Dewey has in his possession a paint-
ing of the original wampum belt pre-
sented by William Penn In the early
part of the eighteenth century to the
Delaware Indians as a memento of
the famous Penn treaty. The belt
is now In the British museum In Lon-
don. The painting of the belt Is the
only one now known to exist. It has
been handed down In the family of
Chief Journecake, whose daughter Mr.
Bartles married.
CASH DEPOSIT GARNISHHED
B.
McDuffie Must Make Another
Bond or Go to Jail
LAWTON: The vice president of
the defunct Rank of Lawton. IJ. F.
McDuffie, who is under bond h to,
was arrested in Chickasha on an-
other charge. It appears that he was
arrested at Chickasha several months
ago, and put up a cash bond of $1,500
for his appearance. The case was
still pending, and Receiver Knapp
conceived the Idea that possibly this
sum of $1,500 was a portion of the
missing funds of the bank. Acting
upon this presumption lteceivcr
Knapp garnlsheed the money at
Chickasha, and after that B. F. Mc-
Duffie was without bond there. A
deputy United States marshal, with
an order from the court at Chicka-
sha, arrested McDuffie and took him
back there, where he must either
give a new bond or be committed to
jail.
Indian Territory Odd Fellows held
their annual session in Chickasha last
week. Tulsa was selected as tho
next meeting place.
Old Men Still Needed
At least one London editor seems
to be unimpressed by Dr. Osier's
theory as to the uselessness of men
after the age of forty. He advertises
In the Globe as follows: 'Editor-re-
porter wanted for old established
weekly, experienced In public affairs,
and must be between forty and fifty;
young and 'brainy' applicants need
not apply."
ANOTHER RAISE IN BEEF
5wift & Company Lay the Blamo
Upon the Producer
CHICAGO: Prices of beef have
been advanced in every important
market of the United Sta4?s.
The consumer is payl g the ad-
vance price, which to him represents
several cents per pound oxer what ho
paid up to ten days ago.
Swift & Co., Armour a id Nelson
Morris state that no beef has been
supplied to the retail markets of Chi-
cago or any other market of the coun-
try during the last month and a half,
except at a loss. This, It Is declared,
has been partially due to the fact
that tho breeders of stock and the
handlers of radge cattle have been
holding back on supply until the grass
of the range becomes nourishing.
Swift & Co., speaking for the pack-
ing Interests, Issued tho following
statement:
"During tho last six weeks tho
producers of beef cattle have been re-
ceiving about a dollar advance over
the past prices for choice cattle. This
simply means that the advance to the
consumer In prices would be about
$2 on the one-half of choice cattle
that can be used for food purposes.
The range cattle producer is the mas-
ter of the situation."

NEWSPAPERS ARE BEST
As Advertising Mediums, Nothing
Can Compare With Local Papers
Nathaniel C. Fowler, Jr., In the
course of an address before the New
England Dry Goods association, at its
meeting held recently in Boston, said:
"Without depreciating the value of
any of the good advertising mediums,
for there are many, I wish to state
emphatically, and without qualifica-
tion, that tho newspaper is the best
and cheapest advertising medium for
the retail advertiser, and is the only
local medium worthy of being called
'indispensable.' 1 cannot too forcibly
impress upon you the intrinsic value
of newspaper advertising space. I
base my opinion on twenty five years
of actual experience in weighing ad-
vertising values."

Eskimo Courtesies
A Washington woman was chatting
to Commander Peary, the Arctic ex-
plorer, relative to the Eskimos, and
ask''d If they had a distinct language.
Mr. Peary replied in the affirmative,
whereupon the butterfly said: "Do
give me an Idea of how the language
sounds. For instance, how would an
Eskimo say 'good morning'?" "He
wouldn't say it," gravely responded
the explorer. "Dear me!" said the
woman. "Are there, then, no social
amenities among the Eskimos?" "On
the cont.ary," said Peary, ' they are
a comparatively polite people, but as
In the country where they abldo they
would have occasion to use tho ex-
pression only once a year they have
no words equivalent to it."
HAVE NO REDRESS
Anti-Discrimination Law Too Narrow
for Business Men
EMPORIA, KAS.: Dennis Madden,
an Emporia attorney who was hired
by the Business Men's association of
Cottonwood Falls to start, a case
against the Standard Oil company for
alleged discrimination against tho
people of Chase county, has an-
nounced that the anti-discrimination
law passed by the last legislature is
too narrow and that the association
has no redress. The law covers dis-
crimination against competitors, but
makes no provision for discrimin-
ation between the producers and the
dealers. Oil at Cottonwood Falls
sells for twenty-five cents, while at
Emporia the retail price is thirteen
cents.
Persons interested in the mining

DETERMINE THEIR RIGHTS
Intermarired Applicants for Enroll-
ment Must Take Part in Suit

Intermarried white persons, who are
applicants for enrollment in the
Cherokee nation, must be represented
before the court and become parties
to the suit which is now pending, to
determine tho rights of these inter-
married persons to citizenship. A
recent act of congress required that
the court of claims make final dispo-
sition of the ense, subject to the su-
premo court of the United States.
There are fully 3,000 persons who
should affix their names to the suit
as plaintiffs, and only about 1,000 of
these have done so.

j ing year will be appointed soon there-
I after. In appointing teachers, prefer-
ence will be given to those who at-
tend the normals and receive our cer-

We shall aim to establish about one
hundred fifty new day schools next
year, In the country districts and
smaller villages of the territory, In ad-
dition to the five hundred schools now
In operation. Salaries will vary from
forty to fifty dollars per month, de-
pending upon the size of the school
and the ability of the teacher. It does
not now seem probable that there will
be any vacancies In tho desirable In-
dian boarding school positions. Ap-
plications for position in the day
schools should be made to tho super-

Melon Growers Are Organizing
GUTHRIE: Several charters for
melon growers' associations have
been taken out during the past few
weeks. One of the large associations
is tho Greer County Melon Growers'
association, whose members have
agreed to plant an aggregate of sev-
enty acres of melons.
A meeting of cotton growers will
be held at Chandlfr May 6th to dis-
cuss matters looking to oontrol of
prices and kindred subjects.
here indicates clearly the character,
if not the exact text, of the answer
has been known for some time to tho
diplomatic corps in Caracas, and
there is reason to believe that several
foreign governments nlready have
been advised of its text.
While diplomats who have Inquired
at the state department have been
Informed that practically no action
will be taken regarding Venezuela
until President Roosevelt returns
from his western trip, they also have
received the Intimation that If tho ex-
act text of Castro's answer comprises
an Insult to the American minister
it will not pass unnoticed.
CAN BUY BEER
Supreme Court Held That Liquor May
be Sold to Full-Citizen Indians
WASHINGTON: Tho supreme
court of the United State* by Justice
Brewer, has granted tho petition of
Albert Heff of Kansa-t for a writ of
habeas corpus. Heff was prosecutod
ami convicted in the district court
of Kansas for selling beer at tho
town of Horton to a Klekapoo Indian
named John Butler, to whom land
had been granted In severalty. Tho
prosecution was based upon the
theory that Butler was still a ward
of the nation, the law prohibiting th?
sale of liquors to Indians. The case
was brought to the supreme court In
an original action on the ground that
In becoming an allottee tho Indian
became a citizen of the United States.
This view was sustained by the opin-
ion. which concludes as follows:
"We are of tho opinion that when
the United 8tates grants tho privi-
leges of citizenship to an Indian,
gives to him tho benefit of It and
requires him to be subject to the j
laws, both civil and criminal, of tho ■
state, It places him outside the reach}
Y>f police regulations on the part of!
congress; that the emancipation from j
federal control thus created cannot [
be set aside at tho instance of tho j
government without tho consent of
the individual Indian, and the state,
and that this emancipation from fed-
eral control Is not affected by the
fact that the lands It has granted to
the Indian are granted subject to a
condition against alienation and in-
cumbrance, or the further fact that It
guarantees to him an lnt< rest In
tribal or other property. The dis-
trict court of Kansas did not liavo
jurisdiction of the offense charged,
a.id therefore the petitioner is en-
titled to be discharged from Im-
prisonment."
Kansas Senator Must Stand Another
Trial for Bribery
ST LOUIS: United States Sen*
Jor J. Ralph Burton of Kansas has
been reindicted by the federal grand
lury on the charge of accepting fees
Amounting to $2,500 of the Rlalto
CI rain and Securities company of St.
l>ouis. In whoso behalf It Is alleged
he acted as an attorney before the
postofflce department at Washington.
The new indictment contains five
counts. Tho first three specify that
Senator Burton made an agreement
to accept $2,500 to look after the In-
terests of the St. I^ouis concern. j
Count No 4 charges that he re-
reived a $2,500 fee, and No. 5 alleges
that he received an additional fee of
$500.
Recently the United States supreme
court reversed the enso of Senator
Burton, who was convicted of unlaw-
fully accepting fees from the Rlalto
company, on the ground that the
money he received was not puld ac-
cording to the evidence In St. Louis
and hence was without the Jurisdic-
tion of the federal court of 8t. IxmiIb.
The new charges Included In the
Indictment set forth that Senator Bur-
ton received $3,000 and mado the
agreement referred to In counts 1, 2
and i. wbilo in St. lvouls.
It 1c probable that Senator Burton
will be tried on tho charges In the
new indictment somo time during
next month.
RAILROAD VALUATIONS
The Katy Line May be the Only On®
Increased
GUTHRIE: The board of railroad
tssessors met hero to hear tho state-
ment of representatives from tho dif-
ferent roads as to valuations. Tho
representatives of the railroads asked
that the valuations remain the same
as last year, when the total value was
$11,109,667. There were at that time
3,300 miles of railroad in the territory.
The assessed valuation of tho roads
will probably not be changed ma-
terially from the rate of last year,
with the exception of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas lines, which have
been Improved greatly within tho
last twelvemonth. The lines of that
company were last year valued at $2,-
500 per mile, while the Santa Fe was
valued at $5,000 per mile, tho Rock
Island $5,400, the Choctaw at $5,200,
the Frisco at $5,000, the Orient at
$3,000, the Fort Smith & Western at
$2,800, nad the St. Louis, El Reno
Southwestern at $2,500.
GOOD RULING FOR ADAMS
Judge Raymond Is Busy
MUSKOGEE; Tho investigation
of the charges filed against Judge
Raymond delayed the work of tho
court over which ho presides at least
six weeks. Judge Raymond, how-
ever, expects to make up for lost
time. In order to clear the docket It
will be necessary to make a record.
There are a number of Important
cases to be disposed of, and It Is ex-
pected each of these will occupy the
attention of the court for several
days, but in order that the work may
be completed within a given time an
average of five cases a day must bo
maintained.
Claims He Can Sell Improvements on
30,000 Acres of Delaware Lands
MUSKOGEE: Information has been
received hero from Washington from
Richard Adams, stating that In the
matter of holding Delaware Improve-
ments there had been a departmental
order to the effect that ho could hold
all land on which he had made im-
provements.
This means that Mr. Adams will
have the right to sell the Improve-
ments on about 30,000 acres of Dela-
ware land which he holds. He will
also have the right, under this ruling,
to hold about 12,000 acres under his
own name. The Dawes commission
investigated the Adams claim recent-
ly and mado an adverse report upon
it. It appears from the telegram re-
ceived here, however, that the depart-
ment has reversed the ruling of the
commission.
COMPANIES RULED OUT
Banks to be Reassessed
OKLAHOMA CITY: Tho county
commissioners have Instructed tho
county clerk to cancel the assessment
of banks In this city which were made
last year, and to reassess them on a
basis of 25 per cent of their capital
stock. It is claimed that the pre-
vious assessment was not mado ac-
cording to law, and therefore it can-
not become operative.

GUTHRIE: Attorney General SI- j
mons has made public an opinion in
which he says the bill relative to I

panies which have not complied with j
the law have no authority to transact

An Indian Swears Ou i Warrant
SHAWNEE: Because he beat Wil-
liam DeRobin. a tribesman, with a re-
volver, Pat a Qua, a Sac and Fox In-
dian, was fined $25 in a justice court
on a charge of assault. Ordinarily
such a proceeding would not be un
usual, but it Is a thing which happens
rarely among the Indians that one of
them will cause the arrest of another.
Pata Qua pleaded guilty to tho accu-
sation, and the only evidence offered
was the complainant's badly scarred
scalp.
All delay is vexatious, but It helps
wisdom.
