The medical corps should be much

Fifty representatives of the Chinese
community dined at the governor
house on the 18th inst, and presented
to him a hOnorifc scroll. They de-
clared that he had won their confidence
in the administration of the colony and
would be very pleased to have him
again. Sir Matthew Nathan replied
that if it were possible he would be
pleased to return for a second ad-
ministration, but regretted there was
no precedent for such course. AS |

for the president of the Republic, who

the frequent spirit of unrest which exists
among certain Russian and Roumanian
immigrants, and expressed the fear that
some day severe measures would have to
be taken by the police against some of
them. My fear, unfortunately, has just
been realized. Among the numerous
demonstrators who were arrested in
connection with meetings and process
sions on the 1st Of May there were some
Russian and ROumanian Jews. Last
week about dozen forei On Jews were
arrested for having caused disturbances
in the public thoroughfare. The chief
of police who interrogated them, bitter
ly reprOached them with having sought
the hospitality of France to cause trou-
BILE, and he told them that in these con-
ditions they would have done better to
have remained in their own country.
He further warned them that they
would be expelled. But a still more SER
ious offense has been committed. From
the top of an omnibus Russian Jew
named Jacob Law fired with revolver
on detachment of Suirassers, some of
whom were wounded, happily not SER
iously. The crowd which quickly as
sembled severaly maltreated the man,

been seized by the police. He appears
not to have been conscious Of the gray
ity of his act and did not express any
regret for it. This behaviour has given
rise to the belief that he does not possess
all his faculties. He is twenty-five years
of age, has lived in Paris some time, and
resides in the new ghetto which has been
formed on the heights of Montmartre.
In the opinion of those who know him
he is man of inoffensive character, but
by no means communicative. He will be
put on his trial, unless medical eX-
animation should prove that he is not
responsible for his actions as is affirmed
by some Of his relatives. However this
may be, it will be understood how poor
fellow like Law can prejudice whole
class of his coreligionists. The anti-Se-
mitic press, always on the lookout for
a scandal which it can fix on the Jews,
already accuses the whole Of the peace
full section, happily the large majority
of the Russian immigrant population. 1t
goes even farther by alleging that Law
representative man of Judaism.
The anti-Semitic papers are furious

The famous Orientalist, Professor
Vambery, in an interview which he gave
to representative of the Jewish paper,
Neuen Nationalzeitung emphatically de-
MED that he had been baptistd. On the
contrary, he declared that it was his
greatest pride to be a Jew and to be-
long to the people which was the embodi-
ment of everything that was noble, hui
name and elevated. 1t will be remem-
bered that it was Professor Vambery
who arranged the reception Of the late

Frau Philip Thorsch Of Vienna has

Indians AIIege Fraud
Against Burlington
and Hitchcock

Washington Jan. 12-Dayid Musk
rat, Frank j. Boudinot and j. Henry
Dick, representing the eastern Chero-
kee indians, today presented petit
ion to the senate committee, which is
engaged in investigating the affairs OF
the Five Civilized Tribes praying for
relief on account Of the payment Of
sl470O0 made by attorneys on the
authority of the secretary Of the in
teyior.
The payment was made in connec-
tion with an effert to recover funds
from the government and the eastern
Cherokees contend that the sum was
far in excess of the amount called for
by their contract, They therefore re-
quested tilat Secretary Hitchcock be
asked osxplainthe expediture and that
relief be grantsd If it be found exces-

concerning the employment Of attor-
neys that after the services of the
late Hon. w, E. Springer has been en-

lions from Secretary Hitchcock and
upon recommendation made new
contract with the st. Louis law firm
of Finkelburg, Nagel and Kirby.

HaSting Attacked Pat
ton in Open
Court

Guy Patton, Of Starr & Patton, law
yers, Is bearing about with him today
beautifully discolored eye, the re-
suit Of an encounter in contest case
before the Dawes commission In Mus
kogee yesterday. Starr and Patton
were representing the contestant in
the Steve Lynch case, while w. w.
Hastings of Tahlequah appeared for
the Cherokee Nation. When the
witnesses representing the contestant
were being examined Hastings seemed
to become more and more exercised.
Finally Leander Bean took the stand.
After he had been examined at some
length, and nothing had been extract
ed from him OF any value, Hastings,
evidently with the sole object Of tan
tallzing him, asked him why he
squirmed so in his chair.
~ object to that question. 1t is
impertinent, said Mr.. Patton.
Hastings got up from his chair and
walked around the table. No one no.
ticed that he was unduly excited, and
Mr.. Patton sat in his chair, entirely
oblivious of any impending danger.
Suddenly Hastings whirled and struck
Patton vicious blow in the eye, from
which the young lawyer reeled.
Hastings would have struck him
again, had not Mr.. Starr and others
intervened. Mr. Bliss, before whom
the hearing was being conducted, rep
Hastings, who appologized,
saying THAI he had not lost his
head in such a manner in twenty
years.
Commissioner Bixby then adjourn
ed the hearing until today.

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 12.-The COM
mittee on banks and banking are work
ing on a very novel proposition to
evolve system whereby the depositors
in the various state banks will have
their deposits fully secured. The
propagation will be reported some time
next week. The plan is to have law
in force that will collect from each
bank chartered under the avs of the
state a certain, very small per cent, of
their deposits to be placed In gener-
al fund to be handled by the state as
a security for all the banks ingeneral.
The per cent would be very small
but the number of banks operating at
present in the two territorie asnd the
probable new ones would make an
enormous fund that would accrue in
terest and in reality protect the de-
positUrs in the various banks
For instance if bank we're to be-
come insolyent and could only produce
per cent OF the total amount deposit
ed the remaining deficiency would be
taken from the general banking Sc
curity fund and there would be no
chance for the depositors to lose any
money.
1t is believed that the proposition
will be adopted by the convention
when the committee make their re-
port, 1t will be the cnly thing of the
kind in existence in any of the states
and J. J. Curl, who is the author Of
the project, states that he is confident
that IL will solve the problem Of Sc
curing the banking deposits. Speak
ing Of the matter he said:

From the County Bound
airy Fight

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 12H. G.. Tur-
ner Of Checotah, Democratic delegate
in the constitutional convention, vot-
ed for the county boundary committee
report on Mcintosh county in accord
ance with the lines sought by Checo-
tab lobbyists.
j. B. Morrow, ex-mayor Of Checotah
says that Turner's board bill at the
Hotel Royal in Guthrie was paid by
Checotah lobbyists,
Turner says that the mere fact that
his board bill was paid by lobbyists
did not influence his vote.
Morrow does not think that Turner
is man who could be influenced, but
the alleged fact remains that Turner
voted for Checotah's lines and that he
had his board bill paid.
The rules committee Of the conven-
tion continued its investigation Of the
charges Of graft" in connection with
the location OF county lines today and
a number Of important witnesses gave
testimony.
J. B. Morrow said that $50 or s55 Of
the money raised by Checotah, which
the county boundary committee had
made a county seat, was used in pay
ing the board bin of Turner. He said
further, however, that the bill was
paid for Turner without his knowledge
and that the latter protested when he
heard Of it. Although Morrow said in
his testimony that there was no in
tention Of influencing Turner's vote,
yet the money for the board bill was
from the funds raised at Checotah for
the purpose Of securing lines favorable
to Checotah for a county seat.
