Oklahoma City.—"Before statehood
more recruits for the United Stales
army were enlisted In Oklahoma than
Id any other recruiting district in the
country, with three exceptions. A
new and lmporltlve call lias come from
Washington to get men for tho regular
army—to get them soon. The record
of tho past gives asurance that this
state will do its share in the present
crisis." That is what Major C. N.
Barney, liead of army recruiting in
Oklahoma, says.
Six substations in addition to the
Oklahoma City headquarters place an
army office within reach of any man
who wants to servo ills country. The
substations have been opened since
congress and President Wilson called
for 25,Ouft men. Further enlargement
of the army is expected.
Ardmore, Chlckasha, Enid, Guthrie
Muskogee and Tulsa are tho cities
In which new offices have been
opened.
“Villa must be caught,” was the
fdogan blazoned fortii on banners in
a monster recruiting parade headed
by the blare of martial music in Chi-
cago a few days ago. The echo of it

The recruiting agitation Is intended
to carry the cry into every town and

$12,000,000 FOR THE INDIANS
Choctaw* and Chickasaw*, Will 8oon
Roll In Wealth.
Oklahoma City.—Millions of dollars
Will be available for distribution among
Indians If the Indian bill, which was
passed last week by the national sen-
ate, becomes a law. The bill carries
an appropriation of $12,000,000, of
which $8,000,000 would be distributed
In Oklahoma In the Choctaw-Chick-
asow and the Klowa-Comancbe pay-
ments.
By the terms of the pending bill
each member of the Chickasaw na-
tion will receive $200 and each Choc-
taw will he paid $3ti0 from the tribal
funds, the amount to be disbursed by
these two tribes aggragatlng about
$7,600,000.
The per capita payment Item Is a
part of the Indian appropriation bill
and It Is expected that funds will be-
come available ns soon as that meas-
ure has been finally passed and signed
by the president.
Congressmen Ferris, Carter and
others of /the Oklahoma delegation
succeeded In winning their fight for
the payment In the house some time
ago. Senators Owen and Gore piloted
the measure through the senate.
Claremore.—One of the largest
amounts ever awarded by a jury In
the Rogers county courts was that
given H. T. True of Chickasha, when
he was given $20,000 in bis suit
against the Iron Mountain Railroad
Company.
True had sued the railway com-
pany for $40,000 damages, alleging
that ho had become totally blind as
the result of an Injury sustained whlla
in the employ of the railroad In the
state of Arkansas In 1912. By the evi-
dence It was shown that True had
been thrown from a motor ear he was
operating In carrying employes of the
road to and from their work. In the
fall he struck upon his head and a
pebble or small stone made an Inden-
ture In his skull, affecting the optic
nerve, from which total blindness re-
sulted. Attorneys for the railroad
vigorously combatted the theory and
produced several experts from the
medical profession to sustain their
contenslon.
Nine of the twelve Jurymen returned
the verdict.

court at Oklahoma City, in the case ol
the Hydraulic Engineering Company
vs. Levy Ac Levy el al.
The engineering concern replevined
Levy & Levy, contractors for the Chey-
enne Short Line, a railroad running
from Cheyenne to Strong City, a dis-
tance of eight or ten miles, for the
steel rails used in the construction of
tho road.
Levy & Levy will now be compelled
to pay the Hydraulic Engineering Com-
pany the sum of $8,980 or the rails ol
tho Cheyenne Short Line will be taken
by the company in lieu of the money.
In ease the rails are taken, Cheyenne
will be left without rail communication
since tho short line connected at
Strong City with the Clinton and Okla
hoina Western and was the only road
running Into the Roger Mill* county
seat.
Ceorge \V. Bellamy, former lieuten-
ant governor, must pay back to the
state $2,462.50 which he received in
salary as chairman of the state bank-
ing board during the time ho also re-
ceived $l,00o a year as lieutenant gov-
ernor.
So held Division No. 1 of the su-
preme court commission in reversing
the judgment of the district court of;
Canadian county, which hud returned
judgment favorable to the former offi-
cial.
The suit on behalf of tho state to
recover the money was brought by
Charles West, former attorney gen-
eral. The decision of the court follows
the doctrine frequently laid down that
an official cannot receive compensa-
tion from more thun one position at a
time.
At the time Bellamy was chairman
tho banking board was composed of
tho governor, lieutenant governor,
treasurer, auditor and president of the
board of agriculture. The board voted
Bellamy, as chairman, a salary of
$1,500 a year. This, the court holds
was done without legislative author-
ity, and had no force or eeffct

Oklnhoma City.—Segregation of th«
white and negro raees In the resident
districts of Oklahoma City Is provided
for In two ordinances passed by the
city commissioners. The enactment
went into effect following Its passage,
an emergency clause having been at-
tached.
For several months the plan of sep-
arating the whites and blacks has been
under consideration. Both white and
colored property owners gave their In-
dorsement to the tdoa before it was
finally drafted as an ordinance. Th*
city statute Is the replica of an ordi-
nance recently passed in St. Louis.
Capitol Workmen Ask Wage Increase.
Another strike of laborers on the
new state capitol building has been
called on the demand of the Hod Car-
rteis' union. A committee composed
of Mr. Blumenthal, John Schneider
and J W. Davis presented the ultima-
tum of the union to Superintendent of
Construction Rice.
Mr. Blumenthul said the hod carriers
and the common laborers have been
working under a verbal agreement
calling for 25 and 30 cents an hour.
The union has prepared a written con-
tract w hich fixes the wages at 30 and
35 cents an hour with time and one-
half for overtime and Sundays. This
increase Is based upon higher rents
and the advanced cost of living in Ok-
lahoma City, according to union offi-
cials. They say If the contractor re-
fuses to sign their agreement, more
than forty men will walk out.
The granite cutters called a strike
several weeks ago and are still out.
They asked for higher wages, but the
Judge Burwell Dead.
Judge Benjamin Franklin Bprwell,
Jurist, attorney and diatlnguished citi-
zen of Oklahoma City for twenty-five
years, died at his home In Oklahoma
City. Nephritis and a*ute dilation of
the heart were the causea of his sud-
den and unexpected death. Dr. W. E.
Dlc-ken, the family physician, said that
Judge Burwell did not rally after the
shock of a heart stroke, and failed to
respond to medicine. The judge had
not been seriously ill for twenty years.
As a Bible teacher in the First Bap-
tist church and a conscientious and ex-
ceptionally strong lawyer, Judge Bur-
well had much to do with the upbuild-
ing and development of Oklahoma
City. He was interested In every cause
for the moral and commercial better-
ment of the community, especially in
matters pertaining to the bar.
Judge Burwell was born In Arm-
strong county, Pa., on April 15, 1866,
and was the son of Joseph and Maxia
Burwell. After receiving his first edu-
cation in the public and normal schools
of that state he removed to West Vir-
ginia where he studied law. He com-
pleted his law education In Kansas.
On December 25,1888, he married Miss
Agnes Jane Carnahan at Hope, Kan.
He was admitted to the bar at Salina
in 1890 and later removed to Gypsum
City where he practiced in 1890 91,
also acting as city clerk.
In 1891 Judge Burwell came to Ok-
lahoma City and formed a law part-
nership with A. C. Scott. He became
interested in the Indian situation and
his attention to the condition and
treatment of tho different tribes led
to his appointment as associate justice
of the territorial supreme court In
1898. This appointment was made by
the president. At that time there were
five judicial districts and Judge Bur-
well represented the third district on
the supreme bench. That district or
which Judge Burwell was ex-offlelo dis-
trict judge embraced Oklahoma, Cleve-
land, Greer and Pottawatomie coun-
ties.

Opinion Knocks Out Election
A petition filed some time ago with
the governor requesting an election
to vote on the addition of portions of

London.—In opening his budget
speech in the house of commons Reg-
inald. McKenna, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, said it was assumed that the
war would last during the whole of the
financial year.
Mr. McKenna said a generous allow-
ance would have to be made on ac-
count of the difficulty in framing exact
estimates of such questions as the
shortage of tonnage and restrictions
upon foreign trade.
The actual expenditure during the
past year was £1,559,600,000 or £31,-
000,000 below the estimate, said the
chancellor. Great Britain’s allies had
been assisted to the amount of £264,-
000 and her dominions to the amount
of £52,000,000.
In bis speech Mr. McKenna pro-
posed putting a tax on amusements,
including theaters, moving picture es
tablishinents, football matches and
horse races. The tax would be grad-
uated according to the charge of ad-
mission.
In his address Mr. McKenna stated
that the actual deficit on the year was
£1,222.000,000 while the debt on
March 31 was £2,140,000,000 as com-
pared to a debt of £651,000 before
the war but that was not a dead weight
debt, he added, as £368,000,000 had
been lent to the allies.
On the credit side was an increased
yield by new taxation which gave the
nation's creditors full assurances that
they were properly secured. Not a
pound was borrowed without making
a provision for interest and a liberal
sinking fund.
Other Taxes Announced.
Other taxes announced by the chan-
cellor were an additional duty imposed
on cocoa of from 3^d to 6d a pound
and upon coffee and chicory from 3d
to 6d a pound, these taxes to yield
£2.000.000; a match tax of 4d per
thousand, yielding £2.000,000; min-
eral waters 4d per gallon when pre-
pared with sugar, and 8d per gallon on
other sources, producing £3,000,000.
The chancellor also announced in
creased duties on motor licenses,
which are trebled on high-powered
