CONVICTION OF VAN scHAIck.

William H. Van Schaick, captain OF
the steamer General SlOcum, destroy
ed by fire in June. 1904, with an AZ
tendant loss of more than 1000 lives
has Just been sentenced to serve ten
years in prison. Van Schaick was
found guilty of criminal negligence
in failing to have fire drills on the
steamer. The conviction of the cap
tain will be viewed with mixed feet-
ings by those who lost friends or re-
latives in the disaster, and by the pub
lie generally.
Van Schaick was undoubtedly guilty
of criminal negligence if, as the jury
found, he failed to have fire drills on
the Slocum. But he should not be
compelled to bear the burden alone,
for he was not responsible for all the
fatalities. 1t was shown at the in
quest held on the bodies of the Slocum
victims that the life preservers were
absolutely rotten and useless. Some
of them were found to contain pieces o.
iron. in order to increase their weight
others we're filled with pulverlZed
cork and the casing was so rotten
that it tore and permitted the cork
to escape like so much meal.
Hundreds of people persisted be-
cause the life-preservers were Of this
character. Who was responsible for
them? To a certain extent Van
Schaick, of course, for he should have
inspected the life-preservers and seen
to it that they we're in good condition.
Yet if he had done that. if he had
found them to be rotten and so re-
ported, the chances are that he would
have been discharged. The owners of
the boat we're responsible for the life
preservers. They bought the inferior
kind because they were cheaper. Not
one of the owners has yet been
brought to trial.
And how about the inspectors who
were supposed to look after the life
saving apparatus, who were supposed
to know whether or not the Slocurn
was being loaded beyond her. -sa e
passenger capacity? Have they been
convicted and sent to PRISON. If so
the fact has escaped the public's at
tention. One or two Of them may
have been dismissed from the govern
ment service, but that is a very ligat
punishment when measured by the
sentence meted out to Van Schaick
1t is probable that Van Schaicl
should have been convicted. but tn;

AN EAST SIDE
MAD DOG SCARE

The whole population on the east
side Of Bull Creek was worked into a
frenzy yesterday on account of a mad
dog scare.
It is not absolutely certain that the
dog was mad but that the people were
scared goes without saying.
Men on horseback chased the dog
and whooped and yelled, and If the
dog was not mad when the chase
started it certainly was close to being
in that fix when a bullet put an end
to his dogship over in Jim Titles
pasture.
If the dog really was mad number
children who were playing in the
streets made narrow escapes. The dog,
however, did not seem to notice them
as it passed by, but a number Of moth

INTERMARR|ED
CHEROKEES

Since the recent decision handed
down by Chief Judge Fuller regard
ing the claims Of intermarried whites
and intermarried citizens have ap-
peared before the Dawes Commission
in large numbers, says the Muskogee
Times Democrat. The fact that
much of the land held by them has
only increased their interest in the de-
cision-
Commissioner Tames Bixby said
this morning that the commission has
not yet decided what to do in these
cases. The intermarried citizens
make various requests but chief
among them is that they. may be all
lowed to trade their land back into
the Indian families, as many had done
before the ruling. They ask that
this privilege be extended to them, in
order that the improved land may not
be lost.
Although no opinion is given out
from the commission regarding the
action which will be taken, it
is quite probable that some means
will be devised to protect the improy-
ed lands.
The claims Of 5000 whites are in
volved in the recent decision, because
Of their inter-marriage with mem
bers Of the Cherokee tribe.

Cars That win Not telescope.


All-steel passenger equipment for
universal use has been the dream OF
master car-builders for years, and this
dream is about to be realized on all
the lines included in the vast Harri-
man system, says j. Mayne Baltimore,
in Technical World Magazine In his
article entitled, ''All-Steel Railway
Coaches he tells about the gradual
perfection of the all-steel car, and
prophesies that Harrimans lead in
the direction of better passenger
equipment will be followed by many
other up-to-date roads. The Pullman
company will be the first to fall in
line and adopt the all-steel construc-
tion. The principal objection to the
plan has been the excessive weight
of car made entirely of metal. But
experiments made by the Southern
Pacific have recently developed the
possibility of producing a steel car
weighing not more than ten per cent.
over the wooden coaches. This is
done by using lighter plates of great
er strength, which are made especial
ly for this class Of construction. In
view Of the demand likely to arise in
the near future, many car-building
firms are extending their plants to in
clude facilities for the new kind OF
construction.

The Indian Territory is today the richest in resources, and offers to those who are willing to prosper, the great est opportunities of any country under Uncle Sans flag.
 You would never regret a trip to the little city of Bokoshe. It is situated on a beautiful sloping prairie in the Choctaw Nation, at the crossing of the Midland Valley and Fort Smith and Western railroads, where the country is new and undeveloped-where the land is as rich and productive as the Isle of Paradise"-and in the midst of the Government Coal Land Segrega- tion, known as the McCurtain Massey District There are thousands of acres of this segregation around Bokoshe, and four new mines have recently been opened within mile of the town, and the coal is of the very best qual- ity. The tide of immigration from every state in the union Is turning to- wards the Indian Territory, and the country is being rapidly developed and
