Mr. Maury says he left Stratford

Mr. Maury produced the necessary

to note anything suspicious about his

COAL MINERS MAY STRIKE.
General Tie-Up Expected Along About
April I.

McAlester. Okla, Jan. 16.-There is
every prospect of coal miners
strike in this district about April l.,
and IL II does come ii is expected to
be prolonged one. The operators
are preparing for it, and are advising
all dealers and railroad companies to
stock up on coal now. One operator
said today he believed they would
all do this. and as a result the coal
business for the next sixty days will
be up to the capacity of the mines.
There is not so much complaint of
shortage of cars as there has been
for the past year, and long trains
are leaving this city hourly.
1t is stated that the miners will
ask an increase of the scale, while
the operators say 1t must be reduced.
as many of the mines are being OPP
Grated at loss. The miners insist
they are not receiving enough, and
over the arrangement of the scale,
when the present contract expires,
Is where the trouble wili arise.
There are two strikes on now. One
at Henryetta, Okla. and the other
at Jenny Lind. Ark. At the first
named place about 100 men are out,
and at the latter 500. The operators
refuse to treat with the strikers. say
Ing they have disregarded their con
tract wherein they agreed that in
case of trouble the men were to con.
tinue at work, while the matter in
dispute was adjusted by representa-.
tiyes of the miners and the operators.

There was a strike in this district

ArdmorLite Special.

ArdmorLite Special.
Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 17.-In an op-
iDon TO state insurance commissioner
T. J. NcComb. assistant attorney
general Spillman holds that the law
recently passed by the legislature re-
hitting the state taxes for the year
1907, does not interfere with that ar
ticle OF the constitution which pro-
vides for the levying OF two per
cent tax on the gross premiums of
life insurance companies, and a sim
ilar tax on the premiums on fire in
surance companies, minus cancella
ton. This applies to all foreign in.
surance companies doing business
within the state.
The insurance commissioner
thought the law passed by the legis-
lature would conflict with a former
opinion of the attorney general to
the effect that this tax was collect
able after Nov. 16, 1907, and asked
for an opinion.
In accordance with the opinion
rendered Commissioner McComb
sent out statements to the 2s0 for
eign insurance companies doing
business in Oklahoma, asking them
to include in their report the pre-
miums earned by them from Nov. 16,
to December 81. and 10 enclose "A
check for two per cent of that
amount The tax will amount to
approximately 100000.
Assistant attorney general w. c.
Reeves in an opinion holds that the
guarantee deposit bill, which has
passed the Legislature and has been
signed by the governor, does not
become operative until the state
banking board meets and levies the
one per cent tax on the average
daily deposit as provided in the bill
The banking board is allowed sixty
days to comply with this provision
II Is thought the board will meet as
soon as Governor Haskell returns
In this event the law will go into
effect February 16.
An opinion by assistant attorney
general Fielding Lewis holds that
school lands can be condemned for
right-of-way purposes.
