THE CREEK R. LIS.
Final Effort is Being Made to Stop the
 Indians.

Okmulgee, I. T., May 7.-Final effort Is being made to close the Creek rolls in view of section 2S of the agreement pro- viding that no person shall be added to the rolls after the ratification of the agreement The Dawes Commission is striving to complete the rolls by the 29th instant, the time limit within which Creeks are to ratify or reject the agree ment. To this end they have established an enrolling office at Okmulgee during the sitting of the council which convened here today. Of the 1000 Creeks entitled to allotment something like 1000 have neg lected or refused to enroll at the request of the commission. Judge John R.. Thomas has issued an order commanding all persons not enrolled to appear before the commission at Okmulgee for enroll ment. before May 5. Failure to obey this order will render the offender in contempt of court and 1t Is the intention of the com mission to require warranss for the arrest of such persons.
 Marshall Bennett, who is here. states that all writs of this character will be im- mediately executed Should this measure be resorted to, 1t will, it is believed, be the first time fin history where such dras- tic measures have been employed to pro- tect benef1ciaries against the effect of their own act.

MORGAN MAY BUY
 THE RED STAR LINE
Report That the Millionaire is After Several Steam-
 ship Companies

London, May 7-Simultaneousiy with today's meeting of the Leyland Line shareholders to vote on the agreement of statement that the Morgans are about to acquire the Red Star Line. as well as the Atlantic Transport Line.
 The American Line officials here, how ever, deny the report that MT. Morgan has acquired the Red Star Line.
 The Leyland Line shareholders con- drmed the Morgan Ellerman agreement.
 James A. Wright, second vice president of the International Navigation Company, was shown the dispatch of the Associated Press from London referring to the re- itsrated report that Morgan was about to acquire the Red Star Line. He said:
 ''I have nothing to say. The statement has been contradicted before I know nothing about it.'
 The fact that this purchase has been possible should be a grave warning to Great Britain to revise the navigation regulations, which threatens the loss of supremacy.
 After MT. Martinson, who presided at me Leylano hne meeting hau eAPia4heu the terms of the contract, Mir. IJilerman, chairman of the line, set forth his views on the Atlantic trade. He said the out look was not promising for British ship owners in view of the large tonnage building, the prospects of the return to that trade of vessels now diverted to South Africa and the probability of an American subsidy. He did not believe Parliament would inf1ict countervailing duties on subsidized American vessels. Mir Morgan's railroad and manufactures would enable him to make the purchase of the Leyland l'ae profitable.
 MT Ellerman severely criticised the British vessels at an increasing disadvan- tage in competing with foreigners.
 Mir Martinson said the Americans were evidently in the transatlantic trade to stay. Trade follows capital, he said. The conditions favor their success.
