GEOL|G|STS ARE
OUT SURVEYING
WILL VISIT TULSA IN COURSE
OF THEIR WANDERINGS.
The SPAvINAW Hills.
Supposed by Biologists to Be One
of the Richest Portions of
the Territory.

Biologists are investigating Indian
Territory very minulely and il the
course Of their wanderings will camp
near this city for several days while
they trace coal veins in this neigh
borhood.
Last week the party sent out from
the state university in the interests
of the Oklahoma Geological survey
spent several days among the Spavi-
nav hills, east of the Grand river,
near the Arkansas line. The Spavi-
nav hills constitute the toughest and
most inaccessible part of the Chero-
kee nation, and have lang been a
noted rendezvous for outlaws. AT the
present time the Wickliffes are sup
posed to be hiding there and the party
camped one night within a mile of one
Of their Notifications.
The Spavinaw hills are composed
of limestone known to the geolo-
gists as the Mississippian formation.
1t is into this limestone thatetaoin
1t is in this limestone that zine and
lead is found in Missouri, Arkansas
and southeast Kansas. Hitherto, but
little prospect has been permitted in
the Indian Territory, but these metals
are known to exist in number OF
places in the eastern part of the Che
rokee nation and Prof. Gould is of
the opinion that both lead and zinc
in considerable quantities will eventu.
ally be developed in this part of the
country.
One Very curious fact has ben de.
veloped in this region. 1t has always
been thought that oil and gas did not
exist below the Mississippi limestone
formation. The oil at Muskogee, how
ever, is now known to come from be-
low the Mississippian, and it seems
that other locations will be discovered
where the same condition exists. In.
deed, it is onttoo much to say the
chances are fair for the eastern part
of the Cherokee nation to develop
into a rich mineral country.
The surveying party will camp near
Fotr Gibson, part of the week, ther
go west to Okmulgee and Henryetta
The work in that region willSconsis,
in tracing the coal veins and in locat
ing the articlinal fold in which oil i.
found, and which is known to extend
south from the Kansas line to the Ar
kansas river near Tulsa.

THREATENED
TO TAKE AWAY RIGHT OF KAN
SAS CITY BOARD OF TRADE.
TO DO BUSINE S S
On the Ground I hat It Is a Combina
ton in Restraint of TraG,-The
Petition Has Deen repaired

Kansas City, August 9.-Proceed-
ings in the district court to dissolve
the Kansas City Board of Trade and
to take away its right to do business
as an association on the ground that
it is a trust are threatened by |. b.
Kimbrall, the prosecuting attorney of
Jackson county. The petition has
been pepared and is ready to be filed,
but the prosecutor refused to say to-
night just when he would place il on
record in the circuit court. The pc
tition was prepared by James H..
Harkless, of this city, who is said
to be an attorney for the National
Board of Trade of Kansas City which
for the past fourteen months has been
the rival of the Kansas City Board of
Trade. The name of the prosecutor
is borrowed as the complainant and
the defendants named are the board
of trade as an association, and its
officers and directors.
The petition asks for temporary
restraining order putting an instant
quietus upon the boards operations
until the case can be heard in court
An alleged combination, pool, ol
trust formed by the boards members
is outlined in its constitution, rules
and regulations, and it is upon these
that the threatened action is largely
based.
The plaintiffs urge in the petition
that these rules, which members of tn,
board of trade are compelled to res
pect and obey on pain of expulsion
are said to effect restriction of trade
Members of the board of trade con
troll the prices of grains and bread
stuifs and limit the quantity market
ed. The regulations defining the OBJ
legations of members and the penalt.
| for non-conformity is cited as partic
ularly offensive by the petition.

THE MIKAs0 AFL0AT AGAIN.
Toxic Hears That Admiral Togo 8
Flagship Has Been Raised.

Toxic, August Cit is reported
From Sascho that after repeated fail
ures, the battleship Mikaso, which
sank last September, after an explo-
sion had occurred on board, was sue
'cessfully foated today.
The Mikaso was blown up Septem-
ber IL, 1905, by magazine explo-
sion near Sasebo. Five hundred and
ninety nine persons were drowned.
The MikasO was first class bat
tleship of $4,000 tons displacement.
It was built in England and was
launched in 1902. The battle ship was
400 feet long, had speed of eighteen
knots, and carried crew of 935 Of
ficers and men. II was heavily ar
mored and carried four l2-inch guns,
fourteen 6-inch guns, twenty one
Founders and many smaller rapid fire
guns. 1t had four submerged torpedo
tubes.
It was from the deck of the Mikaso
that Admiral Togo directed the fight
that settled Russia's hopes of con-
trolling the sea in the Russo-Japan-
ese war. Previously the Mikaso had
been one of the blockading skquad-
ron before Port Arthur and was in
all the fights with the Russian Port
Arthur feet.

Herring OF CHICAGO DErUNCT
BANK ARRESTED.
RECEIVER IS APPOINTED
Says He Is Not Guilty of Criminal
Actions in Any Way What
ever.

Chicago, August 9.-Henry w.
Herring, cashier of the Milwaukee Ave-
nue. State bank, which closed its doors
three days ago, was arrested today,
and will be refused his release on
bail until his connection with the dis
appearance of nearly $1,000,000 of
the banks funds is cleared up. Paul
o. Stensland, president of the defunct
institution, is still fugitive, and al
though nearly one hundred detectives
are searching for the missing presi-
dent. his whereabouts is as much Of a
mystery as ever.
Herring was arrested this afternoon
two hours after the time he ANNOUNCE
ed he would give himself up. He was
taken at once to the Office of Chief Of
thorough examination a. to his know
ledge of President Stensland's mis-
management of the institution. Her
ing declared that he did not know
where President Stensland was and
had had no communication with him
for over week. The cashier stren-
uously denied the charge that he quit
himself, was partly responsible for
the failure of the bank. Herding main
tains that if he is guilty of breaking
the banking laws Of Illinois, President
Stensland is responsible, as Herring
in his examination declared he never
benefited a single dollar by Preso-
dent Stensland's peculiar system Of
banking
The Chicago Title & Trust company
at II o'clock tonight was appointed
receiver of the personal estate Of
President Stensland, the estate is
valued at $50O,00O. The appointment
was made by Bankruptcy Referee
Eastman, on a petition Of three Of
the creditors. 1t was feared that be-
cause of Stensland's fight from Chi
cago he would transfer his estate and
defeat his creditors.

of general and large generosity for

tiles for him for some time. Chicken,
roast beef, stews, ragouts, soups, fish,

The incident was due to a report
widely current earlier in the day that
Thaw had quarreled with the prison
caterer, who had been furnishing hin
with meals and that in consequence
he had breakfasted on ordinary prison
fare. The report had it that the
disagreement was due to Thaw's in

MENNON|1ES

PARTY ON WAY TO LOCATE IN
THE NEW STATE.
TO START COLONY HERE
Several Hundred Families in Party
Preparing to Colonize Similar
to Mormons in Utah.

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 81. w. Gin
gerich and j. j. Miller, the recognized
leaders of the American branch of
the Mennonite church. passed through
this city today for Oklahoma City,
where they are going to make arrange
ments, if possible, for the installment
theJ d-cmfwypetaoincmfwypetaoin
of a Mennonite colony. The men rep
resented several hundred families who
are waiting the out come Of their eff
forts to move to Oklahoma and To-
cate permanently.
The present plan is to secure land
enough altogether to perfect an organ
tion of several hundred families. They
are distinct race almost and their
customs are very queer Their mode
Of dress is very different from the
Christian method and they have char
acteristics that distinguish them as
different from other people.
The representatives were accom-
panied by William Tadlock, an Okla
Eoma land agent.
The simplicity of the Mennonite
religion, aside from the peculiar form
of worship, makes them very inter-
esting people. They do not believe
in the administration of so much law
on the other hand believing in the
gentility Of human nature. One of
the predominant features of their re-
ligion is that no one should bring a
law suit against fellow being or ask
for interest. They do not believe in
the organization of an army, holding
that it is against the laws of human
nature. They do not perdit one of
their number to belong to.eany mill
tary organization. They maintain that
the enactment of laws to govern the
human race is not type of perfect
civilization, but rather one Of the
remaining forms of barbarism. There
is now in Oklahoma large Mennon-
ite settlement at Cantonment in Blaine
county.
The strength of the church mater.
ializes from the Russian peasantry
The members of the church are chiefly
Russians.
