INDIAN TERRITORY BANKS.
Only License Required il a Control
ler's Certificate,

The Secretary of the Interior has render
Ell decision to the effect that national
banks in the Indian territory are not sub
ject to the license or privilege tax imposed
by the laws Of the territory upon non-resi-
dents doing business within the territory.
There are sixteen national banks in the
Indlan territory, and heretofore some Of
them have paid the tax referred to under
protest, while others have refused to pay
ii. claiming that, under the national bank
act, the only license national bank re-
quires to do business in any state or terri
tory is the certificate of the controller Of
the currency. This view of the case it
is understood. having been sustained by
the United Sta es district attorney for the

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
STATE HOUSE. Annapolis. Nd. Febru-
airy democrats from Prince Georges,
Charles. ST. Mary's and other southern
Maryland counties were present in the
state house in force today. urging the pas
age OF laws which. if enacted. will prac-
tically disfranchise a large proportion of
the colored voters of the state.
TIE desire is to amend the election law
so that none but citizens who can read and
write will be able to vote. Another bill
these advocates desire to have passed is one
which will in effect take away great part
of the authority of the local officers who
were chosen by the people and confer all
the power of appointment on the COVER
nor.
This bill wouid lcgislate out a great many
republican officers chosen at the last cleo
ton aud enable the governor to fill their
Faces with democrats
Another point of attack by the democrats
is the public school law. At the present
:InC The Ecpublicans are in control of the
school boards and unless legislatcd out will
remain in control for two years to come. A
bill is being pushed through which repeats
tn" whole school law. turns out all the
republican boards, and gives the governor
power to fill their places with men. n ma
Joriiy ni whom will be members of his own
party.
Now that the non-partisan police bills
have passed both houses the democrats
are lining up for their party and the indi-
cations are that the bourboning methods Of
former years will once more prevail.

1t il alleged that the killing was the out
come Of quarrel over game of crap.
Annie Davis. William Strauss. James Wood
ward and Officer Hart testified for the gov
erumeut, and the evidence of all but ,tse
officer. who knew nothing of the affair un-
Ill the patrol was summoned to get Dod
sons body, was to that effect. The gov
ernment closed its case at noon, and after
recess the hearing of testimony for the de-
fenSe was begun.
Venie Jennings. mother of the prisoner,
said Dodson and some others were Ell
gagged in playing crap. but her son had
nothing to do with the game. Johnson
spe mt most of the evening at home. but
concluded to take walk and went out on
the street. He had hardly started, how
ever. when some one called, Look out!
Johnson then ran, when Dodson threw
stone at him. johnson at once turned and
pulled revolver from his hip pocket.
which ha fired at Dodson. inflicting a fatal
wound. Dodson fell to the pavement.
Witness went to the place and saw that
Dodson had knife in his hand. She did
not. however, recollect whether the knife
was large or small.
Isaac Tyson, who was brought from jail.

story in reference to Dodson trying to cut
johnson.
Scottie johnson, sister of the defendant,
said her brother fired at Dodson when he

hand. When Dodson fell a knife dropped
from his hand.
The knife was picked up by Charlie
Woody and given to Officer Hanley. Coun-

produced in court. This was done by Gen.
Anderson, and a knife was shown to the
witness, but she was unable to say whether
or not 1t was the one she had seen drop
from Dodson'S hand. The witness was still
on the stand when this report was closed.

MAY RuN SHORT OF COAL.
tneasiness in London Over Big Ship
ments to the Continent.

LONDON. February 1.-The announce
ment that firm Of Cardiff coal shippers
has contracted to supply foreign agents
with 100000 tons Of steam coal for ship
ment abroad has occasioned genuine un-
easiness. The destination of the fuel is
not mentioned, but as coal at present Is
exceptionally scarce in Germany, France
and Russia, it's probably going to one
of these countries France is already re-
placing her bone deficiency by buying in

The vital Interest witch the question has
for Great Britain will, be understood when
1t is realized that Natal is depending on
Wales for coal for the numerous transports
that have gone to Durbah, because the CO.
lonia1 coal fields have been closed by the
war. 1t is pointed out that It would be a
good move ON the part Of the Beers to
drain the fuel resources Of Great Britain
in this manner and. in the event of sudden
demands. the British navy would be peril
ously crippled by the loss of so much coal.

TOOTH LORE.
Some Interesting Facts About the
Dental Functions.


From the New York Herald.
In the great Mala gawa temple at Randy
is a tooth attracting pilgrims from far and
near. A special mission was sent from
Siam to try to purchase this, a supposed
tooth of Buddha. An amount quivalent to
$250, 900 was offered for it. 1t is not strange
that Il portion Of the human body should be
thus worshiped. There are many shrnes
where teeth are held as objects of worship,
fnclosed within golden caskets, and rarely
exposed to the gaze of the unbeliever.
The average Individual values tooth
lightly, even as an object of utility, in its
natural setting, and its loss is considered a
trivial matter unless it happens to be a
front tooth. Not until nearly all the teeth
have been destroyed by decay or removed
by the forceps does one realize what has
happened.
When one tooth has been extracted. you
have really lost two. Teeth cut and grind.
The grinding teeth may be likened to mill
stones-one acting: upon the other. Remove

a function. 1t has nothing to grind
against. 1t will. lenghten slightly, as
though in search of a mate and in, the case
of the gnawing animals the loss of an in
cisor usually results in the death of the
animal. the opposing tooth elongating
prevents the use of the remaining teeth.
or,s as frequently happens to rabbits, the
TOOTH having no work to do. curves up
ward until 1t penetrates the skull. Luckily,
our teeth are limited as to their growth
The loss of tooth adds wrinkle to the
face. This is not so apparent perhaps in
youth as in middle age. although even In
the youthful the loss of a clispid, or eye
tooth. is plainly Indicated by line extend
ing from the wing of the nose to the angle
of the mouth. This is caused by the
shrinking away of the prominence which
outlined the root of: the tooth
1t is a curousf fact that most people in
chewing use fpne side of the mouth more
than the otllef. This can be traced usually
to some defStt' ox' me unused side: but

is detrimentm tntt the opposite side and to
