surance companies have so large a
portion of the savings of the people,

make life insurance a governmental
affair. A so per cent. lower rate

AFTER STRAW

UNITED STATES MAR
SHAL BENNETT ISSUES
STRINGENT ORDER.
BONDSMEN MUST QUALIFY
Many Fellows Cited Who Do
Not Own Property.

Muskogee, I. T., Dec Yesterday
afternoon Marshal Leo o. Bennett is.
sued an order to all the deputy mar
shals in the district that in the future
ali bondsmen in criminal cases must
qualify before the marshal or his
deputy. In the past bondsmen have
been making property qualifications
before notaries public. District Mel
lette had his attention called to the
lnvalidity Of this in an unusual man
ner recently.
Pete Scott. J W Thornbury and r..
T. Owen Of Eufaula went before
notary public and made qualification
that they were worth a $1,000 bond. It
later developed that they did not own
the property for which they had quail
ihed and they were arrested on a
charge OF perjury When their cases
came up they demurred on the grounds
that the notary public who took their
acknowledgement had no authority to
do SO and therefore they could not be
guilty Of perjury. The court sustained
the point and the district attorney ad-
mitted It was the law Then followed
the order issued by Marshal Bennett
yesterday
The same law applies to the other
three judicial districts Of the territory
where the same practice has been in
effect and It is likely that the same
order will be issued IN each OF these
districts Il is possible that there viii
be a great many bonds forfeited in
cases where the bondsmen become
liable when they learn that these prop
erty qualifications mace before a
notary public are void an dthat the
bond will not hold
