OPENING OF THE BIG
OKLAHOMA PASTURE
BUSIEST DAY IN THE HISTORY
OF THE LAYTON LAND OFFICE.
MANY NEW HOMES.
snecial to the Herald.

| Speclal 10 tne Herald.
Lawton, Ok, Dec 3.-This was the
busiest day in the history of the Law
ton land office. 1t was the first day
for receiving bids on the unallotted
portions of the 5O5,OOO acres in the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES reservation.
| The bids are to be received during the
entire week, and if the record of the
opening day be taken as a criterion
it would not be surprising If the total
number of bids exceeded $4,000.
This means that thousands of new
farms and thousands of industrious
citizens will be added to the resources
of the new State of Oklahoma by next
spring. Under the law no bid of less.
than IS an acre will be considered.
Each bidder may put in as many pro-
posals as he desires, but the maximum
to be sold to any one bidder is limited
to a single quarter section. The bids
will be opened one week from today
The great pasture thrown open is
watered on it's southern edge by the
Red river and contains a large area
of very fertile land. Its opening to
white settlement leaves in Oklahoma
only one other large reservation, the
opening of which will probably not be
long delayed. This is the 100000
acres of the segregated coal and as
phalt lands of the Chickasaws and
Choctaws. in the southern part of the
indian Territory. This reservation
abounds not only in valuable mineral
deposits, but in fertile land which has
remained a wilderness by reason of
its segregation.

Important Cases on Docket.

SDecial to the Herald.
Washington, Dec. 3.-The United
States supreme court reconvened to-
day after the Thanksgiving recess. An
unusual number of important cases
crowd the docket. Among these is the
case of Sheriff Shipp and others of
Chattanooga, Tenn, who are charged
with contempt of the supreme court
in connection with the lynching of a
negro in whose case the court had as
sumed Jurisdiction. Another case in
which interest is taken is that of the
United States VS.. Falk & Bro. of New
York, involving the question as to
whether imported tobacco is dutiable
on the basis of its weight when ii en-
ters or when it is withdrawn from
warehouses. The Virginia fertilizer
trust" cases are also on the docket
for hearing. These cases are in the
nature OF habeas corpus proceedings

both bodies the first work was the APP

were passed. Little or no business
outside the usual first day routine was
attempted.
The scene at the opening was bril-
liant and busy one. There were the
greetings among members, and the
hundreds of visitors with beautifully
gowned women predominating. Cor
ridors, committee rooms and cloak
rooms were thronged. The hustle ex-
tended even to the floors of the cham

There was much good natured chaff
and raillery extended between the vic.

figures in both branches were defeat

by you on me through the papers of
this date were purely personal l might
still refrain; but when you charge
that the officers of the State have en-
tered into a conspiracy to do injury
to a citizen, / owe it to the people
who elected me to an honorable posi-
ton to answer
have filed petition wherein it is
charged that H. c. Pierce, acting for
the Waters Pierce Oil company, be-
fore and after its reorganization, paid
out money in connection with cases
pending against the old company,
thereby assuming obligations of the
old corporation and that such sums so
paid were audited and approved by
the auditor of the Standard Oil com
pany of New Jersey.
The allegations have been sustained
by the district judge as proper. They
would not have been made if the facts
had not been regarded as pertinent.
nor would they have been made if /
had not been in position to prove
them.
The circumstance that the evidence
established that you received some Of
the money which the company charg-
ed to expenses connected with the
antitrust cases, is a fact for which
/ am in no sense responsible, and my
idea of the discharge of public duty
does not comport with the suppression
of evidence because such evidence
might injure one in high position.
That you may have an opportunity
of explaining the facts suggested by
the notice filed by us in the discharge
of official duty. l make the following
statements and ask the following
questions:
April 25, 1900, you received from H.
c. Pierce $4,000 This sum was sub
sequently returned to H. C. Pierce by
the Waters Pierce Oil company and
charged as account of Texas cases"
Was the sum given to you as a loan
or as a fee? If loan, has it ever
been paid? If afee, for what service?
On June Is, 1900, a charge was made
in the books of the Waters Pierce Oil
company of $500 as paid to Henry &
Suibling ION account of expenses Of
antitrust civil case. Was not this
sum paid by a sight draft drawn by
you? You have stated that you did
not draw on the Waters Pierce Oil
company for such sum. Did you draw
draft on H. c. Pierce or ]. d. John
son? You received 5000 on Novem-
Der %. 1900, which was charged upon
the books of the Waters Pierce Oil
company as account of Texas cases"
Did you represent the Waters Pierce
Oil company or H. c. Pierce in Texas
in any other case than the antitrust
case? Was the sum paid to you by
H. c. Pierce or the Waters Pierce Oil
company?
On March rs, 1901, or about that
time, you wrote a letter to H. c.
Pierce in response to which you re-
ceived New York exchange for $3.50.
This sum was charged upon the
books of the Waters Pierce Oil com.
pany as on account of Texas legal
expenses" Did You in this letter re
quest a loan, or did you demand a
fee? If loan, has it been paid? If a
fee, for what service?
On March 6, 1901, you executed
your note for $4,000, due in four
months, to H. c. Pierce.
You received Pierce's for the
amount He Immediately had the
amount repaid him by the Waters
Pierce Oil company. Has this note
ever been paid? Has payment ever
been demanded? Yours truly,

DAVIDSON TO BAILEY.
Attorney General Makes Reply to the
Senator's Statement.

Austin, Texas, Nov. 30.-Attorney
General Davidson tonight gave press
copies of letter addressed to United
States Senator Joseph w. Bailey, in
which he answers the statements
given out by Senator Bailey at Wash
ington last night, declaring in strong
language that the senator was not
misrepresented by the demand which
counsel for the State made for vouch-
Qts and books of I" waters Pierce
Oil company. He insists that such
vouchers show that H. Z. Pierce drew
money from the oil company to re-
imburse himself for payments which
he claimed to have been made to
Senator Bailey ION account of Texas
cases." and he .categorically ques-
tons Mr. Bailey as to whether he re-
ceived such money from Pierce.
Senator Bailey's statement was the
uppermost topic in Austin today and
the politically interested population
was on the qui vive to know what
the attorney general would say in re-
ply.
General Davidson declined to dis
cuss the subject at all until he had
finished his work in the court room
today. Then after the application of
the Waters Pierce Oil company for
a continuance of the case against it
had been granted, he went to his Of
fee and started to prepare the letter
which he gave out tonight
The text of the letter is as follows:
Austin, Texas, Nov 3O-Hon. J. w.
Bailey, Washington: Dear Sir-For
more than six years the people of
Texas have lived under the shadow
of the wrong perpetrated against them
by the reintroductien of the Waters
Pierce Oil company into Texas under
your guidance and direction after it
had been outlawed by the highest
courts of the land During all of this
period of time it has plundered the
people without conscience, and the
obligation which /, as attorney gen
eral, owed them, prompted me TO eX-
haust every effort to purge this State
of an institution which should never
have been permitted to re-enter. In
developing testimony necessary to
convict that corporation of continued
violations of our laws, have proceed
ed with an eye single to that purpose.
That our investigations have develop.
ed the fact that you have not been
candid with the people in stating your
connection with its reintroduction has
only filled me with shame and sad
ness.
Even under the great provocation
of having unworthy motives ascribed
TO me, my assistants and associates,
have had no feeling other than that
of sorrow, that one to whom has beer
entrusted the high position OF United
States senator should resort to abuse
and villification in an effort to silence
the righteous indignation of our PEG
pie
In my anxiety TO escape a contro
versy that might have injuriously al
fected the interests of the State il
the case against the Waters Pierce
Oil company, / have refrained from
denying your misstatement to the eff
feet that you had rendered your ser
vices to that case. If the attack made

GREAT HEAT IN DEEP MINES.

d.
Operations Would Be impossible at q
10,000-Foot Level. 90.
The latest determination Of rise in
temperature in descending under.
ground gives 243 feet for every degree
centigrade, or 1876 feet for rise Of
one degree Fahrenheit. The Difference
in temperature of different rock sub
stances Is almost inappreciable.
Experiments made in deep mines to
prove that the, heat of the rocks does
not preclude mining operations at
even 1000 feet, because If the recog-
nized formula was accepted there
would be temperature of 125 degrees
Fahrenheit at 800 feet, demonstrated
that such temperature is not reached.
The assertion sometimes made that
mining might extend to as great a
depth as 10000 feet if haulage could be
accomplished is untenable. The diff
culties would not be in haulage, but,
first, that of breathing under the enor-
nous atmospheric pressure, and, Sec
ondly, increase Of temperature. A
mass of air in a down-cast shaft of 60
degrees Fahrenheit at the surface at
a depth of 10000 feet would attain
temperature of 80 degrees by it's own
weight. Healthful mining would be
impossible. 49,

A Very Clever Piece Of Advertising

Store. NV
1t hardly seems possible that in
broad daylight person could throw
big stick of timber through the
plate glass window of Beardsley &
Finney's drug store, cracking it
in all directions, and yet that seems
to be what happened today. Sticking
out of the plate glass is the end of the
AKA and the shattered glass is plainly
to be seen, and it seems a shame. On
a big card in the. window appears the
following, which may sxplain the in.
cident: -
$3.50 reward for the conviction of
the party who broke the glass to steal
a box of H. B. cigars"
The whole business is a cleverly
executed advertisement. for the
Hoosier Bard cigars, and that it works
we'll can be seen from the fact that
everybody stops to examine the break.
The glass is not broken at all, but it
takes a minute inspection to discover
that fact. The scheme is the work Of
C. J. Rogers, the popular representa-
tive of the Hoosier Bard cigars, and
Arthur Graham, the genial clerk in
the store. Take a look at it.
