ALLEBER-O'LEARV
Vinita Fight Fans Treated to Best
Boxing Exhibition Ever Wit-
nessed in Vinita.
From Saturday's Daily.
Last night before 200 fans Al Alle-
ger and Jack O'Leary gave a nice ex-
hibition of the manly art of self-defense
for fifteen rounds. The fight
was free from rough work and the
men broke clean at the call of Referee
Gabbert. It was declared a draw. Alle-
ger Bhowed the fans that he could fight
when he tied up with Gordon two
weeks ago. Last night be displayed
his cleverness as a boxer.
Andy Ferns challenged the winner
perhaps that's why it went to a draw.
It's a safe bet that Ferns can lick
either in the squared arena should he
get a match.
The crowd was pleased with the ex-
hibition. The battle royal between
four smokes was good. Roy Miller
knocked out Henry "the dish washing
kid" with a punch on the jaw after
forty seconds of fighting and in the
next round did the same thing to "Sam
the Spider." Then he tried to clean
up for Mistah Eddie Martin. Miller
floored Martin with a left swing to
the jaw in the first round but had to
quit in the third after spranining his
wrist. Martin was declared the win-
ner. The fight by rounds:

CHEROKEE NATIONAL LOSES
SUIT TO RECOVER ON CHECK
Oklahoma City Okla. April 10. The
question of who loses in payment of a
check which turns out to be a forgery
is involved in the appeal of a case of
the Cherokee National Bank of Vinita
against the Muskogee National bank
filed in the supreme court Saturday.
The check was drawn on the Vinita
bank and cashed by the institution in
Muskogee which in turn sent it to
the Vinita bank where it was paid by
credit. When the check proved to be
a forgery the Vinita bank ask d the
bank at Muskogee to refund the
amount $46.50 which it declined to do.
In a suit the Muskogee bank won a
verdict the lower court holding that
when a drawee pays a check to another
bank which is the bona fide holder
such drawee can not reclaim the money
upon finding such a check to be a for-
gery. SERIOUS INJURIES FROM
BURSTING EMERY WHEEL
.Muskogee Okla. April 8. It. R.
Ilerrick lies at the point of death as
the result of horrible injuries received
at a local barber supply house when a
fast revolving emery wheel burst Fri-
day afternoon. A man named Space
sitting in the window of a building
across the alley also had a close call
to death as the wheel hit a wr.itc a few
feet below a window sill shaking the
building and frightening the occu-
pants. The pair of scissors Ilerrick was

POLITICAL m CLOUD 15
HOVERING OVER CONGRESS
Washington D. C April 10. It is
daily becoming manifest that congress
is facing a stormy session and there
can be made no forecast of the prob-
able legislative results. The fact that
both of the great political parties are
divided is no longer denied and the
leaders appear to have little hope of
restoring anything more than surface
harmony.
There are virtually four parties each
with a large representation working
at odds in the present session. The
republican minority of the house is
divided between regulars and insur
gents as was evidenced by the vote in
the speakership contest. The breach
between these two factions is even
wider in the republican majority of
the senate.
A sharp line has been drawn be
tween the conservative democrats of
the senate who are opposed to any at
tempt at dictation by William Jen
nings Bryan and the progressive dem
ocrats including practically all of the
new members and several veterans
like Senator Stone of Missouri who
are Bryan adherents.
The house democratic majority I
seems to have Escaped a break but !
the leaders fear the party contest in
the other branch. The situation has
interfered with the selection of com-
mittees and the beginning of legisla-
tive work.
Probably there never has been a
congress where so much uncertainty
existed and where the uneasiness has
been so equally distributed between
the two major political parties. Of
course this is due in part to the fact
that in the present congress the dem-
ocrats are In power in the house and
the republicans are in control of the
senate.
.The real cause of the anxiety is be-
lieved to be due to the proximity of the
party conventions which will select the
standard bearers for 1912 and the
knowledge that a slip by either in the
extraordinary session or the regular
session to follow may very easily de-
termine the result of the next national
campaign.
So far as the administration pro-
gramme is concerned there is no room
for speculation. President Taft has
recommended the enactment of legis-
lation to carry out provisions of the
Canadian reciprocity agreement and it
is no secret he would be glad to have
congress stop at that and defer the
Mann Fills Minority Assignments.
By Associated Press.
Washington D. C April 10. Min-
ority Leader Mann of the house to-
day completed the assignment of the
minority members of the various com-
mittees but does not expect to make
them public until tomorrow. Th-3
house adjourned at one o'clock untrt
tomorrow. The senate adjourned to-
day until Thursday to give the hous3
time to finish naming committees
The senate adjourned at 2:20 this
afternoon. Senator Raynor did not
deliver his proposed speech concern-
ing Mexico conditions.
Woman Mayor Counted Out.
By Associated Press.
Wellington Kans. April 7. After
winning the mayorality of Ilunnewell
Kans. in the election Mrs. Ella Wil-
son has been counted out by the town
council who pronounced her oppon-
ent O. M. Akers elected. Mrs. Wil-
son will contest.
Commission Files Complaint.
By Associated Press.
Washington D. C April 10. An al-
leged discrimination in interstate
freight rates between Texas and Ok-
lahoma points was the basis or a com-
plaint filed today by the Oklahoma
corporation commission against the
Abilene & Southern railroad and nine
other carriers in the southwest. The
commission allege that the rates from
Oklahoma to Texas points established
by the defendant carriers are unlawful
and that the rates in force subject Ok-
lahoma shippers and consumers at
Texas designations to a disadvantage
in violation of the law.
Michael S. Link Found Dead.
By Associated Press.
St. Louis Mo. April 10. Michael S.
Link former member of the legislature
who was indicted by a Chicago grand
jury for perjury and turned state's
evidence in the investigation of the
Lorimer election was found dead in a
bath tub in his home at Mitchell 111.
today. Physicians said appolexy caus-
ed his death. A blood vessel busted in
his brain a week ago at the celebra-
tion of his twentieth wedding adver-
sary. Link told friends he had heart
trouble and was going to die suddenly.
He had made all arrangements for the
settlement of his estate. He was fifty-
two years old.
question of tariff revision until the
regular session assembles next win-
ter. His reason for this is that the
tariff board would be able to report
several schedules by tnat time.
Neither la there any obscurity about
the programme of Speaker Clark Rep-
resentative Underwood chairman of
the new ways and means committee
and other democrats who are direct-
ing the policy of the house. Their
plan for. progressive legislation on sev-
eral subjects with which the country
has been made familiar in the past
year or so has been given out.
Now that the new majority in the
house has adopted rules giving it just
as much power as any majority ever
enjoyed there is no doubt measures on
the subject of direct election of sen-
ators publicity before elections of
election campaign contributions Cana-
dian reciprocity revision of the woolen
and cotton schedules and any further
tariff changes the majority desires will
be sent to the senate In whatever or-
der is decreed by the ways and means
committee. The republicans will be
powerless to prevent. The real legis
lative problem therefore will be at
the senate end of the capltol.
Only time will tell what sort of line-
up there will be in the senate on tariff
matters. Previous sessions have indi
cated that there are just as ardent
protectionists in the democratic repre
sentation as in the republican and
a like situation may develop when
tariff questions are taken up at this
session.
The division in the senate is pe
culiar. Of the fifty republicans there
are twelve who have practically form
ed a separate organization. They de-
manded and the committee on com
mutes probably will accede to their
request one-fourth of the majority
places.
Of the 41 democrats 42 when Colo
rado elects seventeen are on record
as having opposed the election of Sen
ator Martin of Virginia as minority
leader. Their opposition was based
upon the ground that Mr. Martin was
too conservative.
The division in the democratic ranks
probably would not have been so pro-
nounced if it had not been for the in-
terview given by Mr. Bryan yesterday
deploring the election of Mr. Martin.
It throws the issue in bold relief and
it is freely predicted it will crop out
frequently in debate.
JIM BARRY KNOCKS OUT
HEINAN IN FOURTH ROUND
Tulsa Okla. April 8. Jim Barry
used up three rounds and about two-
thirds of the fourth to floor Jack
Heinen at the Grand last night. The
bout which was refereed by Al Venn
of Tulsa wasn't "anything extra" ac-
cording to the concensus of opinion
among the fans. It looked just like
a match for exercise until in the fourth
round when Heinen hit Barry rather
hard over the kidney and Barry's
temper evidently became ruffled and
he knocked Heinen out about as quick
as you can say "scat."
Heinen backed around the ring the
whole of the fight and showed that
he was a "little bit" afraid of Barry
It almost approached the "burning
shame" idea to put an "unknown" im-
portation up against about the second
white man in the world in the pugilis-
tic business.
In the preliminaries Frank Manilla
won an eight-round decision over
Young Buckles while Tip Gross
knocked Curley Jordan out in twenty
two seconds.

Y CONVICTS KILLED
IN EXPLOSION IN MINE
By Associated Press.
Littleton Ala. April 8. More than
a hundred state convicts are believed
to have been killed in an explosion In
the mines of the Pratt Consolidated
Coal company near here today. The

some injured. There were 165 con-
victs and ten free men working at the
time of the explosion. It is believed

OFFICERS BELIEVE THEY
HAVE MADE RICH HAUL
.
What in official circles is believed
to be a rich haul was made Sunday
by Sheriff Ridenhour. The sheriff and
Deputy II. R. Clark -went to the north-
west part of the county to an alleged
rendezvous of robbers and captured
Glenn Jarrett and Albert Conner who
are charged with being implicated in
the robbery of a hardware store at
Centralia. A lot of the goods found
were later identified at Centralia. Both
Jarrett and Conner were brought to
the county jail here to await develop-
ments. They are believed also to have
beeli connected with the train robbery
near Lenapah several days ago.
GUARANTY FUND DRAWN
ON TO PAY DEPOSITORS
Oklahoma City April 8. Payment
of depositors in the Planters and Me-
chanics bank of this city which failed
yesterday continued Friday. F. G.
Dennis of the state banking board
who has charge of the liquidation stat-
ed that about $20000 was paid to de-
positors from the guarantee fund yes-
terday. While a steady stream
of depositors withdrawing their money
throughout the day there was no rush
or run on the bank.
A member of the banking board stat-
ed that the guarantee fund would sus-
tain a loss but that he could not esti-
mate the amount owing to the fact
that the invoice of assets of the failed
bank has not been completed. The
bank was a small institution with only
$200000 deposits which the banking
officials believe will make liquidation
comparatively easy without drawing
heavily upon the guarantee fund.
Asked how much money remains in
the guarantee fund Bank Commission-
er Lankford declined to state the
amount or to estimate the amount col-
lected under the recent one per cent
special assessment.
