matter and Secretary Hitchcock
sustained Werner's position.

THE BISBY CHlRGES
Are Now in the Hands Of Secretary
Hitchceck

Washington, Dec. 3I.-The DIS
position of the charges made re-
Gently against Commissions: Blxby
Is now wholly in the hands of Sec
retary Hitchcock. This fact was
disclosed when. in answer to an IN
quiry as 10 developments, Indian
Commissioner Leupp said that all
information concerning this case
would have TO be sought of Secre-
tary Hitchcock.
The secretary is mum. He viii
not discuss the case with newspap-
eT men nor even suffer them to ask
him questions about it. Mr.. LeupF
was given charge of this case when
the charges were made. What has
occasioned the transfer of jurisdic'
ton is not known.
However, it was persistently re-
ported during the early part of the
week that there was well defined
difference of opinion between the
secretary and the Indian commiss
ioner as to the value of the MOI
charges. The Indian commissioner,
il seems some bslieve, attached
more importance TO them then did
Secretary Hitchcock. Therefore.
the fact that the secretary ha:
taken the whole matter into hi:
own hands suggests that nothing
will come OF the Mott charges, al
least during the remainder of Sec
retary Hitchcock's service.

As TO CITY ELECTIONS
Question as to Whether they can be
Held in April

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 3I.-lt is
the opinion OF prominent lawyers
here that no election can be held
in cities in Oklahoma at the re-
gnlar time in April this year be
cause of the peculiar wording Of an
act passed by congress subsequent
to the passage of the enabling act,
which plainly continues the county
officers until the FIRST state officers
are elcted, and does away with
county, Legislative and delegates in
the year of 1906. 1t is now thought
by many that the act will apply
al % to city officers, II specifically
provides that the elections were
not to be held, which would seem
to indicate that the city elections
were not 10 be interferred with.
Further provisions of the act how
ever continue in Office, until after
statehood all persons holding of.
fees authorized by the laws Of
Oklahoma. 1t is on this provision
that the claim is based that nc
elections can be legally held in
April.

TWO STATE POLICIES
The Enid EagIe says:

The Enid Eagle says:
The Eagle pointed out, when the
enabling act was passed from Ok
lahoma, that il provided one policy
for the Indian Territory part OF the
new state and left the constitution
al convention. or the people, free
to adopt another policy for the Ok
lahoma section. The In iian Ter
ritory section must have constitu.
tional prohibition for twenty-one
years, and now the convention is
trying to figure out what the Okla
homa section shall have.
Everybody comedies the Indians
de NOT need Intoxicating liquors,
but after all it is an uphill business
irving to force policy on state
that a majority of the people do
not endorse. There is still very
serious question whether this whole
matter had not better bceA submit

The enabling act itself presupposes

part Of the state and another pol

new counties are formed from parts
of the two territries, and the ques

part of the county. The honest
prohibitionists want prohibition
for the whole state, and they are
reinforced by lot of fellows in the
Indian Territory who want the Ok

DR.. McGraw has factory al
Parsons where he manufactures bis
own goods. IN addition to this DR..
McGfaw is also a prospective mil
lionaire. Not long ago while IN
Emporia, Kas., on business he re-
ceived word that an rncle had died
in Detroit and that an estate OF
$I7, 900, 900 had been left to three
heirs, DR.. McGraw. brother in Tex
as and sister in Michigan. Con-
cerning this DIR. McGraw said II
mad known for long time that my
brother, my sister and myself we're
the only heirs of my rich uncle. so
in SONS respects il did not come to
me as a surprise. My uncle
was quite old but come to his death
few months ago in an accident,
while attempting to alight from a
train.
my uncle was native born
Irishman and years ago came direct
from Ireland TO a little town IN
Michigan by the. name Of Nobye
where he opened a grocery Store.
He commenced to handle wool on
a commission and saw in it a for
tune. He therefore disposed of his
little store, went to Detroit and Sc
cured large business house and
began to handle wool on a larger
basis. His business grew rapidly
and later he opened similar busi-
ness in Boston. He made more
money in Boston owing 10 superior
advantages. He was a good busi-
ness man and was able to amass
the immense fortune of 1000 :
ooo."
AS soon as DIR. McGraw's uncle
died, the Detroit attorneys got busy
and Logan writing to him about
settling up the estate. They at
temped to lead him to believe that
he was to lnhe it the paltry sum Of
$50. 900 but DIR. McGraw had been
apprised by a more reliable and
trustworthy source that the fortune
was many times larger, hence dec
lined their assistance with thanks.
DR.. McCraw is confident that be
will receive something like s. ,ooo,-
600.
DR.. McCraw does not expect TO
quit selleng snak oil or snake oil''
as his enemies call it. He had a
plant at Parsons where he nanufc-
lures the snak oil and other reme-
dies for the cure OF rheumatism and
kidney trouble. He rather expects
to 90 into the manufacturing busi-
ness extensively wh en- be receives
