Guthrie, o. T., May 21.-Frank Greer
editor of the Guthrie Capital is hot.
He is offended at Isenbergs attack on
the editorial association meeting at
Enid and attacks Isenberg editorially as
follows:

There never has been any baccanaiian

never attended a meeting except the one

is poor authority.

Farmers to Keep Their Signatures on

Kansas City board Of trade has inter

This institution has apparently read
the handwriting on the wall. and know
that the damnable scheme of that in

or at least be in on the ground floor
when the Strengthening up time shall
come.
For this purpose the board OF trade
by its president and secretary, are food
ing the state with circular letters citing
the great wrong which is being done
to the farmers and grain dealers Of
Kansas by the discrimination in freight
rates, especially when a larger rate is
charged from an intermediate than at
a terminal point; how Wichita and vicln
ity is forced TO pay a higher rate for
grains 10 Gulf points than what Mis-
souri, river points pay for the same
grain, Notwithstanding the fact that
the latter point is a greater distance
from the objective point Galveston

is the opposite of the desire or welfare Of
the Kansas grain raiser. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the robbery has been
carried on for years, this board has
never raised its voice in behalf of the
people until after they have discovered
that the courts are about TO break the
hooks held by the board upon the Kan

It Is Alleged That He Used
His Office for Illegal
Purposes.
DEvINE UNDER INVESTIGATION
The Exclusions Inspector Is Said to
Have Extorted Money From
Chinese.

The United States Grand Jury consumed
nearly two hours yesterday in investigat-
ing serious charges that have been made
against Captain A. F. Dickson, United
States Commissioner OF Deeds for Sierra
County.
1t is alleged that Dickson, under cover
of his office, has been charging and secur-
ing larger fees than the law provides. The
sharp practice, it is claimed, has been GO
ing on for some time, though just the
amount thus Illegally obtained by the
Commissioner has not yet been deter
mined. 1t is said, however, to run well
into the hundreds.
Seven witnesses from Plumas, Lassen
and Sierra counties were examined yester-
day, and they all told a wonderfully con-
sistent story of Dickson's shortcomings.
The principal witness against the accused
official is William Peck, Registrar OF
Lands, with headquarters at Susanvllle.
He said yesterday that he had abundant
evidence to prove the peculiar methods
practiced by the Commissioner of Deeds.
Captain Dickson is one of the most
prominent citizens of Sierra County. Six
years ago he was appointed by Judge Nc
Kenna to the position OF Commissioner of
DGeQS, WHICH, pOSlt1oA ~ 10 AOW CldluSu
he has misused.
The Grand Jury also considered seri-
Gus charges against EXCLUSIONS In
spector Gus Divine. l. is alleged that
in the month of April last Divine repre-
sented to one Quong All Him, who then
resided in Auburn, Placer County, that
he was still in the service and vested with
all the powers which generally go with
an Inspector of Customs.
1t is said that Divine exercised this sup
posed authority to the extent of seizing
ten tins of unstamped opium found in
Quong All Him's place. The ex-In-
spector then offered. it is claimed, to re-
tnrn the opium on payment of $780, which
sum he is said to have received. Other
instances similar to the one already re-
lated will, it is said, be presented to the
Grand Jury for consideration. Yesterday
number of subpenas were issued for sew
eral witnesses who are expected to testify
against Divine. Wong Sam, who figured
so prominently in the Williams case, will
probably be an important witness for the
Government.
Judge Fulweiler OF Auburn was among
the witnesses examined. The Grand Jury
postponed action in this as well as in the
Dickson case, though it is generally be-
Iieved that indictments Will be returned
against both.
