dence was introduced at the ice invest
igation today in support of the theory
Of County Prosecutor b. Kimbrell
that some ice plants were closed down
and output of the other plants was
curtailed in accordance with n delib-
crate plan of the alleged ice trust to
reduce the supply of ice. Evidence
showed that this was done at a time
when ice manufacturers were defend
ing exhorbitant prices of lee by an al.
legged shortage ofthe supply. The Peo-
pies lee, Storage & Fuel company

the WeStport ice plant, which has q

INJUNCTION ON
Sec. HITCHCOCK
BoUDINOT WANTS FEES OF E
SMITH, VINITA, HELD UP.
$4,000 CHEROKEE fees
Alleged Eastern Cherokees and Ma
tion Voted Against the
Proposition.

Washington, July lS--Further llti-
cation in connection with the pay
ment to A. II. Hart of the Cherokee
Indian fee, was begun here today in
the district supreme court when
Frank j. Boudinot, an eastern Che
rokee, applied for an injunction
against the secretary of the interior
and the United States treasurer, to
restrain them from the payment OF
an attorneys fee, said to amount to
$4,000, to Finkelberg, Nagle 4 kir-
by, of st. Louis, No, and Edgar
Smith, of Vinita, |. 7.
Boudinot alleges that the contract
under which the fees are claimed, was
never executed by the Cherokee ma
ton, but was entered into by Thomas
NJ. Burlington, principal chief of the
nation, against the public vote of
the nation in council assembled. The
contract, it is further alleged, does
not bind the Cheroke nation and GER
tainly not the eastern Cherokees.
Boudinot filed his petition in his
own behalf and in behalf of such
Others of the tribe as cared to inter
vene, claiming that to pay the fee
would reduce their share of the mon
ey appropriated by congress.

SALOONISTS TO FIGHT.

Guthrie, Okla, July lS.-Through-

doors open and place "uno" and
s'ino" on sale every day in the week,
including Sunday. 1t was these drinks
that the courts of Indian Territory
have held to be Notwithstanding, ana
therefore allowed to be sold in that
territory, where intoxicants are al
ways under the ban. In that theseeare
notwithstanding, according to Okla
homa saloonists, they may be sold
without a license.
The first saloon man to attempt the
sale of "uno" and "ino" is Duncan
Taylor, at Hobart. During the past
week Taylor was granted renewal
of his saloon license, but the temper
ance people demonstrated strenuous
ly and carried the case to Il higher
court, thus shutting up the saloon
until the higher court passes ON the
matter. Taylor then announced that
he would open his doors and sell
"uno" and "ino" and also announc-
ed that he would sell these "soft
drinks" on Sundays as well as other
DAYS. No license can be charged by
either the city or the county to sell
these drinks, whereas to sell intoxi'
cants a saloon man must pay the
city of Hobart $400 annually and
Kiowa county 5000 annually.
The lead, taken by Taylor at Ho'
bart, is being followed by others
throughout Oklahoma, and in towns
and cities, which have boasted the
absence of saloons for long time
these "soft drink" saloons will bt
opened. In the meantime, the tenn
perance people are looking around TO,
some method Of prohibiting the sale
of these drinks. The matter will bt
taken into the Oklahoma courts.

the full blood may lease. The iirst
copy of the regulations was received
by Inspector Wright today. It is es-
timated that under the inherited land
law one-fourth of the land in Indian
Territory will be placed on the mar
ket, at least it will be made salable
and taxable.
The only change that is made in
the sale of inherited lands from the
present mode of selling through the
Indian agency is that the application
to sell must be made by identified
heirs of the deceased allottee. The
land listed for sale must be advertised
in a newspaper that is published in
the nation where the land lies.
In the lease rules there are some
important changes. The oil lease rules
that have been effective in the Greek
and Cherokee nations for some time
are extended over the Choctaw and
Chiekasaw nations. The Curtis bill
prohibited the full blood Indians
from selling or leasing their home
steads under any consideration. The
new rules provided that the home
steads may be leased for three years
for grazing purposes, five years for
agricultural purposes, and fifteen
years for mineral purposes, in cases
where it is shown that the allottee
is for some reason incapacitated from
developing his homestead himself. All
these leases have to be approved by
the secretary of the interior. The
lease rules on surplus lands that were
effective in the Creek and Cherokee
nations are now effective all over
the territory. The new regulations
do not disturb an existing valid lease.
There are hundreds of applications
to sell lands now on file in the In
dian agency that have been accumu-
lating while the agent waited for the
new rules. These will now be posted
for sale at once. They must be adj
vertised for sixty days and be sold
under sealed bids.
