THREE ARE INDICTED
FOR FRAUD
FEDERAL GRAND JURY BEGINS
INVESTIGATION OF OKLA
HOMA TOWN LOT AFFAIR.

Muskogee. Okla, Jan. 26.-Semi- off
cial reports from the federal grand
jury tonight are that three persons
have been indicted on town lot fraud
charges and that from 10 to so separ-
ate indictments have been found
against each. Government officials,
while declining to give any informa-
ton In advance Of the report Of the
jury, do not deny that indictments
have been found. To Danville, Va,
goes the distinction OF furnishing the
first witnesses to cause true bills to
be found In the case of these wit
nesses the testimony is said to be
unanimous that at least 38 deeds were
forged by the persons indicted.
While every possible precaution is
being taken to prevent the secrets of
the grand Jury room from leaking out,
apparently well founded reports are in
circulation to the effect that the In
vcstigaton shows a much wider con-
sriracy than was suspected.
To o. f. Pagan, assistant attorney
general, has been assigned the duty
OF drawing up the indictments. Pagan
was formerly assistant United States
district attorney at Chicago.
Two men who were largely interest
ed in the Muskogee town lots have
died since the controversy over the
titles began. They were General
Pleasant Porter principal chief of the
Creek nation, who signed all the deeds
| for the town lots, and the late w. II.
Woodward, n wealthy dry goods mer-
chant Civil suits are pending against
their estates involving the title to
many lots Two other large lot own
ers, Messrs. A. y. English and w. +.
| Hutchings, are now dangerously Ill.
Chief Porter was the man of whom

Weakened this morning to the light of
his fiftieth birthday, Although it Is a
somewhat chastened and subdued en-
peror that wakes this morning, COM
pared with the one who opened his
eyes at Potsdam year ago, the sub
DUNG process has had but tempo
rary effect and we may see the old
kaiser in our midst almost any time;
he will be welcomed; the world seems
little dull without him and we miss
him. You can't keep a squirrel on the
ground, and by the same token you
can't keep the kaiser still, not for
long. And, after all, the emperor Is
not half a bad fellow; there have been
some mighty mean things said about
him. but he is devoted to his country
and he Is a booster from away back;
when Germany and Germany's inter-
ests are at stake, you will always find
the kaiser at the bat He doesn't often
fan out and he has some long hits
credited to his batting average. There
are lots of worse fellows than Kaiser

LIABILITY OF EMPLOYERS.

Among recent decisions affecting the
liability of employers. are two which
are specially interesting. In one OF
these it is held by the New York SUI
preme court that the general manager
of railway company may be indicted
for manslaughter, for the death of a
person caused by the negligence or in
competency of servant employed by
him. Defendant claimed that in the
operation of large railway system
it was impossible for a manager to
inform himself of the experience and
competency of employees. The court
however, overruled the demurrer to
the indictment, and held it sufficient,
equipment of establishments with ap-
pliances for the use of employees in
the performance of their duties. In
this case it was shown that it was
the duty OF a bookkeeper to switch a
telephone connection from the office
to the engine room before he departed.
The phone in the machinery room was
in a booth the handle to the lock Of
which was missing. One evening. after
answering the phone in this booth, he
discovered that he was unable to get
out. His efforts to attract attention
failed Finally he pushed the booth
from the wall and made his exit at
the back. In his exertions his left
forefinger was hurt and caused him
much suffering thereafter, and never
became normal again. The evidence
tended to show that a man confined
in the booth for short time would
become unconscious through lack of
air. In its decision Of this case the
court OF appeals Of Kentucky held that
a telephone so constructed that the
door cannot be opened from the inside

WHERE THE MONEY is.

One of the arguments against the
proposed postal savings bank Is that
it will remove the investment of the
funds from the community in which
they are deposited. Discussing this
subject the other day Postmaster Gen
eral Meyer said: THE postal savings
banks in foreign countries transfer
the savings of a district to the capital
or central office. where the money Is
invested in the public debt, but under
the plan proposed for the United
States the postoffice department mere
ly acts as an agent to deposit the
money in the national banks in the
districts where 1t Is brought to the
postoffices. Thus the money will be
kept In the localities where it belongs,
source of advantage to capital and
labor In those communities" 1t Is a
singular fact also that the greatest
opposition to the postal savings bill
comes from the states where postal
savings banks are most needed. II
the deposits In the savings banks of
New Jersey Pennsylvania, Ohio, I'LL
nois, Iowa and California are added
to those of New England and New
York more than 9S per cent of the en-
tire deposits of the country Will be
accounted for leaving only III per
cent for the remaining thirty two
states. Meanwhile the measure to
bring into use the s5OO,oO0,0oO now in
hiding, though that money Is needed
in general business, Is regarded as
safely sidetracked by the bankers un-
less the protests from individuals
throughout the United States to their
congressman become so emphatic as

COLLISION CAUSED
BY THE Foe
STATEMENT Is ISSUED EXPLAIN
ING ACCIDENT OFF SHORES
OF NANTUCKET.

New York, Jan. ga statement as
to the cause Of the Nantucket collis
ion between the White Star liner Re-
public and the Italian liner Florida,
was issued late today by c, B. Rich
ards & Co, agents for the Florida,
which says:
"A dense fog existed at the time Of
the collision. The Florida had been
proceeding at a moderate speed, blow
ing her fog whistle frequently. The
captain and chief officers were in
charge of her navigation on the bridge
and the quartermaster was at the
wheel and the lookout was doubled
on account Of the fog.
THE Florida was preceding slow
ly when the fog whistles of another
steamer which afterward proved to be
the Republic, were heard by the Off
GERS and lookouts off the starboard
bow Of the italian steamer. ,
1.-THE engines of the Florida were
reversed and two signals of three
whistles were blown, indicating that
the engines were going astern. The
collision, nevertheless, took place, the
bow of the Florida striking the port
side of the Republic somewhat aft
Of amidships, causing serious damage
to both steamers.
When the Republic became visible
through the fog she was crossing the
bow Of the Florida from starboard to
port and running at high speed. The
helm Of the Florida was promptly put
to starboard, hoping to swing the bow
of the Italian steamer to starboard
and to assist in avoiding the danger
Of a collision.
"The other steamer, however, was
running so fast that the vessels col
lided.
1.-The published statements that there
was misunderstanding Of orders on
the bridge of the Florida was not true
The orders given by the captain were
promptly and properly executed.
No criticism whatever is made by
the captain or any of the Officers
against any member Of the crew of the
Florida. The captain and officers are
satisfied that every man did his duty
There Is no foundation whatever fol
the story that any member of the
crew was struck or reprimanded by
the captain.
After the collision and after the
Florida had ascertained the extent Of
her own injuries, the captain rendered
such assistance as lay in his power t.
the Republic and her passengers"

AN ANNIVERSARY SENTIMENT.

Il thank God, that If 1 am gifted

to raise mortals to the skies, l have
yet none, I trust, of that other spirit
which would drag angels down"
These words were uttered in the United
States senate, January 81, 1890, by
Daniel Webster in his famous speech
In defense OF the Union. Today is
the anniversary OF that notably great
most eighty years have passed since
the giant senator for Massachusetts
rose to reply to the assertion of state
rights made by Hayne of South Caro-
lima. But there is as great need today
for the repetition of his burning words
as there was then; 1t would be for
the good of the senate and the bene-
fit of the nation If the speech of 1880
might be read to the senators in 1909

that there is no hope for his recovery.
The man, to avoid a freight, stepped
in front of the passenger. The bell
was rung and the whistle blown, but
he paid no attention, and before the
train could be stopped he was under
the wheels, There was nothing on
him to give clue to his identity. He
had been noticed about the station
for two days, but apparently had no
associates. He was about s feet 7inches
in height and weighs $50 pounds; has
