MUsKOGEE's FIRST OPIUM D.,
When Police Raided 1t the Chinaman
Drew Gun.

Muskogee, |. THE first opium
den ever known TO operate in this
city has been raided and the first
Chinaman TO be imprisoned in the
federal Jail at this place is awaiting
the outcome of his venture in
hop" The den was found on
North Main street and when Chief
of Police Kimsey entered he found
himself looking at the business end
Of large revolver. He seized the
gun, wrenched 1t from the fright
ened Chinaman, who took to his
heels. Wong Ben, the alleged pro-
prietor, proved a poor racer, how
ever, and was soon captured. A
search of the joint disclosed three
cans of opium, 20 bowls and fifty
pills" already rolled.

there is great deal of unnecessary
pother over the 'peeka-boo,' and II
asked for an opinion they would be
inclined to say that the censure d.

as the demand that piano legs should

Something Of the importance of the
American tourist trade may be gath.
cred from the statement sent out
from London that the steamship fares
paid by Americans landing in Eng.
land In one week amounted to $5,-
100000. And that is hut one item of
expenditure. Americans are liberal
spenders. and the amount paid out
for hotel bills, transportation and in
multitude of other ways, to say
nothing Of the inescapable tip, car
ries the total far up into the mil.
lions. 1t is easily believable that
there are sections of Europe where
the residents practically live on
American tourists. And the foreign.
owned steamship lines get their rich.
est patronage from the same source
The money taken abroad in these
ways goes far toward offsetting the
big balance Of trade In our favor
which represents the excess of our
exports over imports.

Conflict Of Authority in Seminole
Nation School Circles
AT THE EMAHAKA ACADEMY
Settled this Month by the Remov-
al Of the Superin-
tendent

Muskogee, I. Tt is probable
that a conflict of authority between
the tribal authorities and the gov
ernment at the Emahaka academy,
in the Seminole nation, will be set
tied this month by the removal Of
the superintendent, Mrs. Davis, who
was appointed by the tribal govern
ment. 1t is understood that the
superintendent of the Indian schools
here has received instructions TO
that effect, although the supervisor
of the schools will not commit him
self as to the contents of the Or
der.
The original treaty with the gov
ernment provided that the schools
be turned over to the secretary OF
the interior by the tribal govern
ment on March 4. 1906. On March
2 of that year, however, a resolu-
ton was adopted by congress extend
ing the tribal governments in the
five nations until some necessary
work could be completed, such as
the signing of deeds, etc. The Sem
mole authorities claimed that this
extended their right and control of
the schools. An opinion was obtain
ed from the attorney general, hold
Ing that the secretary of the in.
terror was entitled to control the
schools under the treaty. Then the
conflict arose.
The superintendent of the school
Is sister of Governor G.. +. Brown,
of the Seminole nation, and Stanton
Brown, another brother, is superin-
tendent Of the schools of thai ma:
tion. Jackson Brown, a third BROTH
er, Is treasurer of the tribal govern
ment. The officers of the tribal
government contend that they are
entitled to continue the management
OF the schools and trip to tie
school made by Superintendent Fal-
we'll few days ago failed to set
tie the conflict. The department at
Washington was again called on us
TO what course to pursue, and IL Is
understood that the department ad-
vises the removal of the suDerinter-
dent and those in charge OF the
school and the appointment of
new superintendent and Instructors.
The government now controls all
OF the government schools in In
dian Territory, making contracts
with the superintendent, who ope-
rate and control the schools. No
dificulty has been experienced under
the new plan except in the Semi
mole nation, and all of the schools
In the five nations are in session.
The Mekusukey school was opened
this year by the tribal government
or the Seminole nation, but 4 con-
tract made by the government with
the superintendent at the same fig
ure that he was managing the school.
The only difficulty arose with the
Emahaka academy.
The government shows a deter
mination to assert its authority i'm
the Seminole nation, declaring that
the tribal authority no longer ex-
lists

A Law to Protect Birds.

The threatened determination OF all
beautiful birds In this country in order
to satisfy the demands for ornamental
millinery has i, : TO the enactment in
several states of gl7Gtly needed laws
for the protection OF wild birds. Com.
missioner Whipple, of the New York
state forest, fish and game depart
ment, has recently served notice
through the press to the wllners OF
the state, retail and wholesale, that
his department intends to use every
legitimate means to enforce the law
prohibiting the possession or sale OF
the bodies or feathers Of wild birds.
whether taken in this state or else.
where. The penalty for each violation
OF the law is $50 fine, and an addition.
al $25 for each bird, or part thereof,
sold, offered for sale, or possessed.
This law seems to be sweeping enough
to constitute an eflicacious remedy so
cerned All the added beauty that can
be given to the creations OF milliners
for the aGornment of ladies Is not
enough, remarks the Case and Com
ment, to compensate a civilized people
for the infinite loss to the everyday
life of many millions of people, If the
beautiful plumage and graceful flight
OF the birds should disappear, and
their twitter and song be sienced.
States which have no such laws may
well adopt them and all that have
them should secure their enforcement.

FIELDS CHALLENGES
MUTUAL LIFE TRUSTEES

New York. April 6.--Andrew c..
Fields, former legislative agent Cor the
Mutual Life Insurance company gave
out statement at Dobbs Ferry today
through his physician DR., Judson.
He said he never gave q bride IN his
career, that he was prepared to vim
dictate himself completely; that he in
tended to tell the whole truth and that
he has saved the Mutual hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Fields declares
that the stories concerning the House
OF MIrth at Albany are malicious lies
and that he never had any business
relations with Andrew Hamilton. The
contingent fund OF 100000. Fields
said, will be satisfactorily explained.
In his statement Mr.. Fields says:
"All Of those trustees of the Mutual
who are now pointing the finger Of
scorn al me were aware of all was
doing In connection with legislative
work for the Mutual and when they
say that they were ignorant OF the
character of my work they are saying
what Is untrue.
II am here to challenge them In
every such statement they may make
or have made. I don't propose that
the men associated with me In the
Mutual shall destroy my reputation
to further their own private ends
am prepared to tell the truth, no mat
ter whom II may hurt be his position
high or low"
