ASSEMBLY RATIF|[S
LAMP.POST DEAL
Claim Is Made That Successful
Bidder VIII Lose $f2,OeOon
the Contract.

The assembly last night put the fin.
fishing touches to the iron lamp post
controversy by approving the action
to the Cleveland Vapor Light COM
pany.
There was not a dissenting voice.
The eight votes present We're registered
In the company's favor.
Ordinarily the action Of the board of
aldermen in awarding any contract is
simply approved by resolution, but
In the case Of the posts last night the
members of the assembly insisted on
going through the entire Formally as
If the matter had never been passed
upon by the board.
The claim Is made that the. Cleveland
Vapor Light company, by its bid of 81
per post fiat, loses about $4,000, but
this is not generally believed. The
local manager refused to confirm or
deny such story. $50 ~e
Did Couneiinen Compel Low Bid?
The story was current yesterday that
the Cleveland Vapor Light company
was compelled by it's friends In the
council to make the low bid it did, the
members putting it up to the manage
ment tnat as they had succeeded In
having it's rivals bid thrown out, the
company should, in all honor. clear
them Of the criticism that was being
freely made by the public because of
their action.
The post contract will now go to the
mayor for his signature, and as soon
as it has been given legal publica-
ton will be valid 81 90.
The next phase aof the controversy
will probably be an effort on the part
of other bidders to compel the Cleve-
land company to show that it's posts
conform with the specifications.

BIoodhounds Put on the Trail.
The supposed murderer was traced
from the Franklin avenue bridge to
the corner of Dale and University ave-
nue. yesterday by Minneapolis detec-
tives, who followed a trail Of blood
eight miles long, left by the fleeing
man. After the trail was lost by the
detectives bloodhounds were sent for,
and they were used yesterday Afternoon
for several hours in an effort to pick
up the lost trail.
Several scents were started on by
the dogs, but none of them reached
very far, and they returned baffled each
time to the starting point. The police
are wholly at loss to know where
the; murderer went after reaching the
corner Of Dale and university avenue.
Antonio Cesto, who, when first seen
by the police, gave the name of Tony
Candioto, proprietor of the little shoe
shop at 1889 University avenue, Is
held at the Minneapolis central police
station, under suspicion that he can
tell something of the murder. Cesto
was we'll acquainted with both men and
spent last night In Minneapolis, going
over there about 10 o'clock.
Blood on Cesto's Shop.
The door of his little shoe shop was
found spattered with blood yesterday
morning, indicating that the wounded
murderer knew where his shop was
located, and had tried to seek refuge
in 1t.
Although the police have several the
cries, they are working almost entirely
on the Malta one, as they are firmly
convinced that there is secret Or
ganization of these murderers in the
Twin Cities. Prominent Italians in both
cities deny that there Is such an or
ganization here.
The society is supposed to have in
stigated the murder of Battalia be-
cause he recently announced his in
tention of joining the Masons and has
otherwise seeked advancement among
the Americans, stunning his fellow

Muscogee. I. T., Aug IA close canvass
of the members OF the Dawes Commission
who are in the city and the other Indian
officials reveals the fact that they do not
fear an investigation and that, on the other
hand. they rather court one.
They decline to discuss the matter for
publication. 1t is generally regarded here
as only temporary stir caused by some
sensationalist and that 1t will be dropped.
II an investigation is started it will, never
be carried far enough to get at the bottom
of the trouble. The investigation will have
to be carried to the Department of the In
terror at Washington. and that in some of
the subdepartments will be found real cause
for complaint. This is the sentiment that
prevails here among men who are in close
touch with Government affairs, but not on
the Federal pay roll.
This state of affairs is not charged either
to the Secretary of the Interior or to the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs. hut to the
clerks under them. who pass upon the work
sent up from the iInoian Office from the
Territory.
There has been so much evidence that
these clerks are interested in the oil leases
and the Choctaw removals. and SO much
advance information has been doled out to
the big companies from Washington, that
|
a man with money could get most any in
formation he wanted about the Indian Ter
ritory at Washington. and get it sooner
than the officials here received it.
A noticeable instance of this was when
two or three big oil companies got advance
information on the rules and regulations of
oil leases and gobbled up all the choice
lands. in the oil fields of the Cherokee Ma
ton before the Indian offices here were
advised in the matter.
The general sentiment is to investigate,
but make the investigation so thorough
that 1t will not stop until the matter is
sifted to the bottom.

MERCHANTS NOT COMPELLED
TO PAY TRIBAL TAX.
Federal Judge Annuls q Ruling Of the
Interior Department at South
McAlester.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
South McAlester, l. T.. Aug. HIN the
Central District Court to-day Judge w. II.
II. Clayton rendered the most important de-
cision recorded in the Indian Territory in
many years.
1t was in the case OF the merchants of
South McAlester against the Interior De-
partmert, the suit arising from a recent at
tempt to close the stores of all merchants
who refused to pay the Choctaw tribal tax
Of one7half of per cent on all goods
brought into the Choctaw Nation.
The temporary injunction ordered several
months ago by Judge Clayton was to-day
made perpetual In the decision the court
held that he had jurisdiction to act, be-
cause the powers Of the Interior Depart
ment were not exclusive. This point was
recently decided by the United States Su-
preme Court in a case in which the powers
OF the Postmaster General were questioned
Judge Clayton held that the segregation
and sale OF the South McAlester town site
forever forfeited all jurisdiction of the In
dfans: that the merchants did not owe the
tax and neither the Interior Department nor
Indian authorities could collect it in any
manner.
Secretary Hitchcock has been very ae-
gressive IN pushing the tribal-tax collection
and the case will be carried to the higher
courts. :
