Cigarette Papers Sent
To Children by Mail

Guthrie, o. T., Sept. 23.--The hrst
formal action in regard to the evasion
of Oklahoma's anti-cigarette law by
sending cigarette papers through the
mails has been commenced by United
States District Attorney Horace
Speed, who is taking up the question
of sending such papers through the
mails to minors. NJ |. Hurlburt, local
manager for the Western Union
Telegraph Company, John Gilbert. of
the Usage nation police force, NJ. E.
Williamson and other residents of
Guthrie have submitted evidence to
Mr.. Speed showing that cigarette pa
pers were sent through the mails to
their minor sons, some of them not
more than 6 or Z years of age.
Mr.. Speed communicated with the
chief postoffice inspector at New
York, and the district attorney there,
laying the facts in regard to the mat
ter before them. He would prefer to
have any action against the tobacco
company commenced in New York, as

Clerk In Marine And Health Hospital
Took $4,000.
CHARGED WITH EMBEzzLEMEhT.
Manipulated Bills by Erasing Names
and Amounts and Secured Money
on Checks by Endorsing Names or
Firms to Which They Were Issued,

Washington, Sept. 90. - James w.
Boyd, clerk in the Public Health
and Marine hospital service, was ar
rested on a warrant sworn out by
Chief Clerk w. P. Worcester of that
office, charging him with embezzle-
ment. The discovery of facts lead
ing to the charge was made last
Thursday in Boyd's absence and the
amount distracted WILL according to
Boyd's Boyd's own confession, reach
not less than $4,000.
1t was Boyd's duty to prepare bills
for the approval of the surgeon gen
eral and when checks were signed
they were delivered to him to be
mailed to the persons for whom they
were intended. 1t is charged that he
manipulated the bills by erasing the
dates and amounts of duplicates left
in the office and that he secured the
money on the checks by endorsing on
them the names of the firms to which
they were issued. The alleged defal-
cation has been in progress for the
past three years, but Boyd was not
suspected until recent illness COM
PEELED him to be absent and made it
necessary for some one else to as
sumo his duties. When his desk was
opened a number of suspicious docu-
ments were found. This discovery
led to an investigation by Surgeon
General Wyman and Chief Clerk Wor-
cester with the result that the case
was placed in the hands of the secret
service operatives who made the ar
rest Property belonging to Boyd
valued at about $4,000 has been seiz-
ed. Boyd had been in the public
health service for about twelve years
and was appointed from Westminster
county, N. Y. He was well known
about town, and especially so because
of his pronounced fondness for auto
MODELLING. He was drawing a salary
of 81 800 a year.
His family is said to be travelling in
Europe.
When taken before United States
Commissioner Taylor, Boyd waived
a hearing and was held in $4,000
bail
Boyd was later released, a guaranty
company going on his bond.

Chicago, Sept. 20. - An investiga-
lion of the business methods of the
Western Indemnity Life, an assess
ment insurance company, also for
which an application for a receiver
ship has been made by policy hold
ers is to be made by the state super
intendent of insurance. Attorney
General William H. Stead of Illinois
has already begun an investigation of
the affairs of the insurance company
and officials and in the course of
few days the state superintendent of
insurance will summon all the officials
of the company before him and COM
pei them to answer questions con-
corning charges of fraudulent voting
of contracts and alleged illegal voting
of proxies and an attempt to trans
fer the entire company to another cor
poration. This information was an
nounced in open court this afternoon
by Attorney Walter Hawk, counsel for
a claimant of an unpaid benefit of
$4,000, while an attempt was being
made to secure an examination from

that is the place from which the pa
pers are being sent out The women's
clubs of Guthrie and other Oklahoma
cities have taken up the matter and
are giving Mr.. Speed all the assist
ance they can in the way of furnish
ing evidence.
1t is also claimed by the district at
torney that the senders Of the pack
ages are guilty of conspiracy. in that
they are entering into contracts with
residents of Oklahoma to defeat the
enforcement of territorial law. No
action will, however, be taken along
that line until the question of the sale
to minors has been thoroughly thresh-
ed out.
The question of what action will be
taken by the territorial authorities is
still in allegiance. Governor Ferguson
is awaiting the action of his legal adj
visers, and the attorney generals
Office seems to consider that the terri
tory is pretty thoroughly "up against
