OBTAIN FIRE WATER"

THINGS UP.

Tulsa, l. T.. MAY S.-Disappointed
over his failure to buy fire water"
and enraged because his monthly in
come had not increased in proportion
TO the advance in the price of crude
oil, former chief of the Osages Push
me-ta-ha tore up and scattered to
the winds more than 81 900 in new
bank notes the other day on the
streets of this city.
This Croesus of the Usage tribe,
who is rated at $4,000, 600 in his own
right, is believed to be the richest In
dian in the world today. His month
ly income from oil and gas royalties
alone exceeds $4,000. He handles
the estate of his entire family, con-
sisting Of three wives and seventeen
children, whose combined wealth, at
the present price of crude oil, is said
to be at least $40 900, 900.
The old chief lives in a miserable
log hut, about eighteen miles from
here, in the rockribbed hills of the
Usage Nation. and those who know
him intimately say that his house re-
sembles a barn rather than a place
OF human habitation.
He rarely visits a white settlement
and when "bootleggers" cannot be
found. he becomes enraged and
threatens dire vengeance against the
white race, His threats, however
mean nothing, for he is too lazy "a

Panel Cannot Possibly be Had
Before Late Next
Week.
HAYWOOD TAKING ACTIVE
INTEREST IN TRIAL
One Fourth of Peremptory Chdl-
lengeS Have been Ex-
hduSted.

Boise. Idaho, May 1S.-With the
opening of the court this morning
the attorneys continued the long task
of securing a jury to try Haywood
There were twelve men in the box
when today's proceedings began, and
only five of the twenty peremptory
challenges had been exercised-three
by the prosecution and two by the
defense.
TIE work of securing a jury con-
tirued to drag this forenoon and the
major portion of next week will be
consumed in completing the task.
The sixth, seventh and eighth per-
emptory challenges were used before
noon, the state excusing one and the
defense eXcusing two of the panel.
Haywood frequently consulted with
his counsel as the examination of
talcsmen progressed, and particularly
on the exercise of challenge rights.
Securing Jury Discouraging Work
Yesterday morning hope ran high
that the seats now filled with tales
men qualified to the peremptory chal-
lenge point would be changed to a
box of real jurymen by the end of
the session. But the fact that eleven
talesmen were exhausted in the eff
fort to fill one seat vacated by a per-
emptory challenge, and that it took
man for cause alone at the half days
session yesterday, showed there is an
increasing reluctance on the part of
the talesmen to serve. To this may
be added the increasingly wide score
of the interrogations put by the de-
fense in which, by the way the prose-
cution is not slow to follow suit.
Special Venire May Not Fill Panel.
Again the judge himself has up to
the present not denied a single chal-
lenge from either side. Notwith-
standing the fact that fifty-seven
talesmen are yet to be called from
the special venire summoned by Sher-
lff Hodgin, the fear is expressed that
this venire may be exhausted and an
other will have to be called
With twelve men in the box and
eighteen peremptory challenges to
come it is likely that every challenge
will be exhausted, and it is thought
quite possible that it will be neces-
sary for the sheriff once more to
scour the country for available jury
men. Such a contingency would un-
doubtedly cause another protracted
delay.
Additional witnesses are arriving on
every train. The activities Of those
interested on both sides continue.
They even increase.

PRESBYTER|ANS SPLIT
ON TEMPERANCE
QUESTION
DR.. Wills. of New York. Re.
fuses to Act on Com.
mittee Report.

Columbus, Ohio, May 1S.-The first
indication in the Presbyterian gem
eral assembly of the smoldering anti
pathy toward a temperance report
came today, when DR.. David Wills,
Jr., of Oswego, n. Y, who was ap-
pointed Friday by Moderator William
H. Roberts, handed in his resignation
with an absolute refusal to serve.
He said he did not wish to be at
the head of a committee, which would
be the target of the shafts of those
opposed to such a report.
"A movement to shelve the report
has been started.
There is strong opposition to the
anu-saloon league, many of the com
mlssloners declaring they will not
vote to continue the work of the
league and claiming that the young
and old peoples societies should take
up the work of the league in the
church.
Wayne Wheeler, superintendent of
the league who is urging his friends
to stand by the league, saws that the
movement against the league was
started by prohibtionists who Drought
Forward the inter-ChurCh council as
a substitute, hoping that the later or
ganizauon would superceed the
league finally.
Moderator Roberts has appointed
Rev. Henry r. Deskere, of Louisville,
as the successor to Wills upon the
temperance committee.
The temperance controversy did not
get upon the floor of the assembly to-
day because of an adjournment
taken soon after noon.
Moderator Roberts, in a statement
10 the press, expressed his determin-
alton that the temperance question
shall be settled at this meeting
The assembly will convene again on
Monday.

Resignation of Mayor SChmitz
is Very Much In
Doubt.
GRAFT COMMISSION
REFUSED RESIGNATION

san Francisco, May 1S.-Notwith-
standing many contradictory stories
told about the scope and power of
the committee of seven, it is generally
believed that the administration OF
municipal affairs is to some extent in
its hands.
In a written agreement, Mayor
Schmitz has bound himself, it is said,
to carry out any request which this
committee may make of him.
The committee has already begun
an investigation Of the police depart
ment and will gradually extend the
scope of its inquiries to other depart
ments of the city government of San
Francisco.

that Ruef had lied I'm stating he had

Offer of Schmitz Refused
During the last few days Mayor
Schmitz is said to have renewed his
offer to tender his resignation to the
graft prosecution, upon certain condi-
tions, and this offer has been definite
ly and emphatically refused, although
1t has the support of a number of
prominent men in the business COM
munity.
The mayor proposed to resign, pro-
vided the present board of supervisors
were removed from office and a COM
mittee Of seven prominent business
men, to be named by Schmitz. were
to be allowed to name new board of
supervisors The graft prosecution
did not approve of this scheme for
slider it.
However, this proposition was ac-
cepted in part, finally
Commission VIII Exahsine Schmitz
Monday.
Next Monday the grand jury will
consider evidence against Schmitz
which has been supplied by Ruef, and
1t is expected that the mayor will be
indicted for accepting bribes from the
United Railroads and other corpora
tons. 1t is probable that Ruef will
be the principal witness before the
grand jury against Schmitz, although
Assistant District Attorney Francis j,
Heney has not yet decided to call
Ruef before the inquisitorial body in
person on Monday, 1t is said that
much of the testimony which Ruef
has given against Schmitz can be
corroborated by direct evidence.
William ]. Burns and his staff of op-
eratives are now busy preparing this
evidence. The prosecution of
Schmitz is to be rushed through as
fast as possible, and his case will be
the first one to come to trial
The startling crisis which has been
reached in the graft prosecution by
the confession of Ruef, however, has
furnished many new sensations, and
1t is impossible TO predict what the
next day will bring forth. The need
Of an immediate reorganization of the
municipal government Is considered
of vital importance by the graft pros
ecution, and nothing will be left un-
done to accomplish speedily this
work.
