ATTEMPT TO
POISON INDIANS
Hugo, May 1.—Alleged attempts
to poison full-blood Choctaw Indians
to obtain possession of their lands,
and investigations of mysterious
deaths cald to have been caused by
persons interested in the death of
such landholders, caused the county
officials, working in conjunction with
Fred S. Cook, government sleuth, to
cause the arrests of V. Bronough and
Ed. L. Reed, well known land men
of Hugo, on the charge of attempt-
ing to poison Ellis Wood a full blood
Choctaw Indian more than 70 years
old. Wood owned 320 acres of

ber of drunks with the number in the
fourth session of Oklahoma legisla-

light," declared Senator Reuben M.
Roddie this afternoon.
Roddie was debating in favor of
more ilberality to prisoners in the
penitentiary, the bill under discus-
sio being the general act to regulate
penal institutions in the state. The
bill passed covers the subject of the
penitentiary and state reformatories
minutely outlining a schedule of
credits for good behavior, fixing the
duties of all officers and providing
for a board of prison control.

IMPORTANT DEC-
ISION RENDERED
Washington, April 28.—In a deci-
sion of momentous importance, es-
pecially as to railroads the supreme
court today laid down the general
principal that a creditor of a corpor-
ation not party to its organization,
may hold its successor for his debt.
In this specific case the court, 5 to
4 in a decision which Justice Lurton,
who dissented, declared "as alarm-
ing" held that the Northern Pacific
railroad company responsible for a
$125,000 judgment against the
Northern Pacific railroad company,
which it succeeded, despite the fact
that the court exprecsly stated that
bo moral wrong-doing was to be
found in the re-organizatlon.
Corporation lawyers who herrd ti p j
decision declared it was a direct blow |
at the practice of re-organlzrir.g cor-j
porations, to get rid of onerous con- j
tracts or escape payment to unsecur-
ed creditors. Its effect would be far
Teaching.
Cannot Evade Debt.
Principle as laid down by Justice
Lamar was stated in this language:
"Corporations insolvent or finan-
oiaaly embarrassed often find it nec-
essary to scale their debts and re-
adjust stock issues with an agree-
ment to conduct the same business
with the same property under a re-
organization. This may be done in
pursuance to a private contract be-
tween bondholders and stockholders
and though the corporation property
is thereby transferred to a new com-
pany having the same share holders,
the transaction would be binding be-
tween the parties
justice court Friday morning.
Wood probably owes his life to the
fact that he could not get the cork
from the bottle of supposed whiskey.
Mr. Cook obtained the liquor, had a
chemical analysis made of it, and
found that more than ten per cent
carbolic acid was in the pint bottle,
rt is said that a will was left by the
old Indian but it has not been recov-
ered yet. The plan supposed to be
in vogue among the grafters would
call for the payment of a certain
amount in rash *o the Indian on con-
dition that he would deed away his
land to them.
Another case that has mystified the
federal and county officials is the
mysterious death of a full dlood nam-
ed Bltiski, who died during the small-
pox scare here. Bitiski is said to
have been recovering from an illness
when he took a sudden relapse and
died last October. Because of the
sudden change in his condition, the
federal office^ started an investiga-
tion. The body is to be exhumed to
see if there are any traces of poison
In the viscera of the dead man. Sev-
eral arrests may follow if the conten-
tion of the government and county
officials is well founded.
The land involved is not especially
valuable, since it is rolling prairie or
timber land but the allotments are
greater in the Choctaw country and
the transfer of the land would come
with little effort if the poison work
should be successful. As alcohol and
carbolic ascid nearly counteract in
there influences on one another, it is
said that the two poisons tend to act
slowly without atracting much at-
tention to the victim's illness.

A NEW FEDERAL INDUSTRY.
t'ncle Sam is now about to-attempt
an undertaking never before tried
scientifically in any part of the world,
the establishment of a farm for the
production of fur-bearing animals.
Private breeders have had consider-
able success with foxes, some even
rearing animals which nearly always
come true, whether blue, black or
silver. The government will begin
with the mink and the marten, as
they are fairly prolific, an their skins
are of considerable value. The farm
Is among the mountains of Idaho,
where streams are many, water falls
abundant and there Is plenty of room.

no objection to writing into the
statute the specific limitations of the
Japanese treaty of 1911. Under the
terms of this treaty, Japanese sub-
jects are permitted to "houses and
lands for residential purposes, fac-
tories,manufactories and shops," ac-
cording to Mr. Webb. Another
clause permits Japanese subjects to
lease land for "residential and com-
mercial purposes
These are the only stipulations
made and it Is the belief of the at-
torney general that the rights of
Japanese subjects to land ownership
in the United States stop at this
point. Under his construction of the
treaty, no land can be owned
leased by a Japanese for agricultural
purposes except that which is al-
ready so owned, or for any other pur-
poses except those set forth in the
agreement between the nations.
Explaining the word of the sub-
stitute bill, Mr. Webb said:
Our theory is that at the time
the treaty was framed, Japan asked
for all the rights as to ownership of
land in California that that nation
desired for her subjects, and that
the treaty as it now stands represents
all that Japan asked, and all that the
United States was willing to grant.
This act does not draw the line
upon aliens who are ineligible to citi-
zenship. Those words are not used
It gives, not only to Japan, but to
every nation whose subjects are in-
eligible to citizenship under the laws
of the United States, the full rights
of ownership of land in California,
that the treaties between the United
States and the such nations give."
It is generally believed here that
the new act would accomplish the
ends said to be desired by the people
of the state, namely, prevention of
further acquisition by Japanese sub-
jects of farming lands and ranches.

NEL pay '.he user.
Los Angeles, April 29.—Ortie E.
McManigal, confessed dynamiter,
plans to have his appearance altered
by surgery when he Is released. It
Is reported his release from the
county jail may be granted at any
time and McManigal hopes to so
change himself that no one will know
him as the man whose testimony sent
the McNamara brothers and more
than a score of labor union officials
to prison. Detectives say the time
of his release will be kept a secret to
aid him, according to a statement
published here to day.
McManigal fell from a moving wa-
011 while a child and the wheel in-
flicted an injury on his head and left
long scar across his forehead. The
111 ark aided detectives who traced
him after the destruction of the Los
Angeles Times building by dynamite.
Doctors have told McManigal that
the scar can be removed, and he plans
to have it done as soon as he gains
his freedom.
CRIMINALS AND THE CAMERA.
The troubles of the criminal rare-
ly end this side of the grave. He is
never at rest until he dies. It used
to be that when captured by the pol-
ice, tried and convicted, all that re-
mained as a record was his name and
photograph.
It is all changed now. Dr. Al-
phonse Bertillon of Paris introduced
a system of detecting criminals which
has practically revolutionized the
criminal records of the world. Now
not only his photograph is required,
but his. finger prints are preserved.
His body is stripped and measure-
ments taken. Any facial defect is
noted and any scar or deformity is
recorded
Now there is even a greater de-
mand on the criminal, for the moving
picture camera has been introduced
so that his movements can be retain-
ed.
There is much in a m^n's walk.
The sharp eyes of the police frequent-
ly detect a pecularity in a man's man-
ner which is a more trustworthy
means of identification than the mere
photograph.
What will be demanded of the
criminal next, no one can say. As
the world grows wise the police sys
tem shares in this wisdom.
The Bertillon system is one of the
most effective that has ever been de-
vised, but the clever criminal is find-
ing a means of evading it. By wear
ing rubber gloves, the possibility of
leaving finger prints as a clew is re-
moved, and no well-posted yegg now
ever goes abroad in the Ir.nd without
a pair of rubber gloves In his pocket.
What the future effect of the moving
picture method of identification will
be remains to be seen. It is a some-
what expensive process, and is far
more cumberson than the ordinary
photograph.
The camera is a great help to the
police. It is being in every country
introduced in the courtroom. It
brings before the eye of the jury
scenes which in our grand-father's
d^y were merely described, and how-
ever clever the tongue may be, there
is nothing so satisfactory as the evi-
dence of the eyes.
The criminal is more afraid of the
camera than he is of the police. The
camera rarely makes mistakes, while
the eyes of men sometimes are at
fault.
Science is becoming an agent in
the detection of crime. The dicta-
graph has played an important part,
and now the latest fad in photogra-
phy is being called upon to aid the
police.—Commercial Appeal.
ARREST BOOKKEEPER
FOR GIRL'S MURDER.
Atlanta, Ga., April 28.—J. M.
Gantt, formerly bookkeeper for the
National Pencil company was arrest-
ed Monday at Marietta, a suburb,
charged with the murder of Mary
Phagan, whose body was found in the
pencil company's factory early Sun-
day. Gantt, who was discharged
from his position with the pencil
company three weeks ago, denies all
knowledge of the girls murder.
DANCED; MAY DIE.
Beaver Falls,Pa., April 28.—Mrs.
John Kuzlus, a bride of three day*
is in a critical condition and may die
as a result of dancing too much dur-
ing her wedding festivities. The
Polish custom of dancing with a
bride for $1 a dance is responsible.
During the 293 dance with 293 silver
dollars constituting the bride's dowry-
Mrs. Kuzlus collapsed and may not
recover.
