The important question in the
minds Of the Indian officials here, is
what Is to be done about the $50 900
that has already been paid out? Mr..
Mclaughlin. who made the roll, was
instructed by the interior department
to make the roll under the Creek law.
He is not bonded officer and did
not make the payment. The Indian
agent is Q bonded officer and made
the payment, but he was acting un.

Bank President Arrested

LAWTON: DIR. w. II. Alder, for
merly president Of the Bank of Com
merce at Walter. was, brought to this
city from the Indian Territory by
Deputy Sheriff Elrod on the charge of
having obtained money from the bank
under false pretenses. He was held
here to await the action of the grand
jury.
Near the latter part Of March DIR.
Alder resigned his position with the
bank and sold his stock to other par
ties. 1t appears that about $4,000 in
notes were deposited in the bank,
which he represented as being good.
and upon which he drew something
over $4,000. II has been found that
some of the notes are worthless and a
complaint was made against Alder by
officers of the bank.

MUSKOGEE: The heaviest rain
Of the year fell i'm Indian Territory
Saturday morning. There was a
great deal of damage done to growing
crops and the bottom land farms are
threatened with inundation by the
rapidly rising rivers. On the Fayette-
vile division the Frisco has not been
able to get train through for thirty
six hours. The trains on the Mis-
souri, Pacific are not making connec-
tion with the branch line to this city
and all trains that are running on the
NJ, X. & Il. are of schedule. Tele-
graph and telephone wires are down.
There are many serious washout on
all rOalrOads in the territory. The
potato growers had just begun to dig
their crop, and the heavy rains will
set them back several days, result
ing in great loss as the market is
falling every day.

bushel in Liverpool According to
reports received by the shipper the

Mr.. Taylor Is optimistic as to the
outlook for those who engage in the
foreign trade, and thinks that quite
a large business could be done from

THE LAW UPHELD
United States Supreme Court Holds
the "OIeo" Law Constitutional


WASHINGTON: The supreme
court of the United States, in an opin-
ion by Justice White, has upheld tho
constitutionality of the oleomargarine
law. Leo w. McRay sued the United
States in the southern district Of Ohio
to recover $50 paid by him as pen.
atty for the sale of fifty.pound pack
ing stamp tax of three-quarters of
cent a pound instead Of ten cents
pound. McRay's counsel argued first
that although the "oleo" was colored
to look like butter, the color was OBJ.
tanned by the use of butter, which
was itself artificially colored.. ). but the
use of which as an ingredient in the
manufacture of "oleo" was authorized
by law; and, second, that the tax Of
ten cents pound was prOhibitive and
contiscatOry and an attempted fed.
eral usurpation of the police powers
OF the cities. The court said that the
tax contemplated the finished product
and not the details of manufacture.
If the "OleO' was cOlored it should
have the higher tax. and II not col.
ored the lower tax. regardless of how
obtained. AS to the amount of the
tax the court said 1t was settled that
the court could not consider the
amount of any tax enacted by con
gress. this being purely perfunction
The court therefore affirmed the judg
ment Of the lower court upholdini
the validity of the law and the tax.
The chief justice and Justice Browy
and Justice Peckham dissented.
