STATEMENT OF THE CHIEF.
Editor Henry Tells How He Did Not
Sell.

Editor G. W. Henry, of the Tulsa
Chief, says the following editorially
in regard to the failure of the Times
and Chief to amalgamate:
Our gray goose quill has grown
moudy and our desk is hedged in
with many COW webs. Our brain runs
in the same old channel with effort,
our Imagination lifts its flight scarce
ly above the sky scraperS. We have
been restless in our duties, and weak
as it may seem we shall offer the pub
lie an excuse. It seems that the "se-
lect' ones in the democratic ranks
had not found the faithful and well
established democratic daily plant as
their needs required. so they deter
mined that Gas money was no object
with them," they would buy out the
Chief and consolidate with the Times
Mr. Gallemore was approached and
finding their proposition satisfactory,
decided to join the combination. The
editor and owner of the Chief was ap-
preached. and he. too finding the pro.
position reasonable, agreed to sell.
The representative of the powers -
agreed to give 5000 for tho Chief.
At first this was to be a cash trans
action. but few days later their rep
resentative wished TO change the pro-
position to $1,000 cash and the bal
ance payable on or before the first
Of August. The representative show
ing his faith in the parties whom he
represented and at the risk of max
ing himself personally liable. put up
is own check for $3.50 as a forfeit.

gress.

RETURN NO INDICTMENTS.
Federal Grand Jury Finds No Fault
With Standard.

Cleveland, Ohio, July 1.-THE fed
eral grand jury, which has been in
session here investigating the alleged
violations of the interstate commerce
laws and the anti-rebate railroad laws,
adjourned this afternoon without
bringing any indictments. lnvestiga-
ton was directed particularly toward
the Standard Oil company and the
Lake Shore railroad company, and
was the result Of the testimony of wit
nesscs before the interstate commerce
commission here recently in which evi-
dence Of alleged rebating by the Lake
Shore in favor of the Standard Oil
company was given. Failure to return
indictments, it is officially stated, was
due to the fact that investigation de-
yeloped the fact that the court here
was without jurisdiction of the alleged
oifenses upon which testimony was
given, and all of the evidence secured
here is to be transferred to the feder-
al officials at Chicago, where the cases
are to be prosecuted.
