DEFEAT or AMENDMENT
 BRINGS RATE REDUCTION

IA.
 Another evidence of the return of prosperity to Alabama is given in a telegram received by James s. Pinck- ard, State Attorney for one of the largest mortgage loan companies in Alabama, in which 1t is announced that the rate for loans in the future will be seven per cent instead of eight.
 Mir. Pinckard says that the reduce tion by the company came without any solicitation from the Alabama of- ices and he believes that the defeat of the amendment and the settling of political conditions in this State had much to do with the reduction in the loan rate.
 While he did not. of course. make any definite statement. 1t Is probable that similar companies doing business in Alabama will announce loan rate reductions.

$4,000 IN CLAIMS
ILLEGALLY PAID
Money Paid, It Is Said, For the En-
forcement Of the RIIlups
Law.

Muskogee, Okla, Dec. 30. = Hugh
Garner, of Guthrie, deputy state ex
aminer, after thorough examination
of the books of Muskogee county, stat
ed yesterday that 100000 had been
paid out by the commission illegally
on this opinion the new board today
turned down claims amounting to
$4,000 similar to those marked illegal
by Garner.
The greater part Of the money was
spent in illegal enforcement of the
Billups law and it is estimated that
what has been wrongfully spent would
meet the county expenses for the rest
of the fiscal year
After carefully considering the mat
ter, the commissioners decided today
that they have no authority to reduce
the current tax levy but an effort will
be made to recover the money Illegally
expended.

AFFECTS STATUSOF
GREAT MANY CASES
Question of Jurisdiction of Court May
Cause Confusion in Cases ia
Oklahoma.

Guthrie, Okla. Dec. 30.-Can Grim.
inal cases which arose in Indian ter
ritory prior to statehood and were
pending on appeal in the Indian terri
tory court of appeals at the time of
statehood be taken into the United
States circuit court after they have
been decided against the defendants
by the criminal court of appeals of
the state?
That is a question which is worrying
the state legal department and which
will be threshed out before the cir
cult court for the Eighth circuit at
st. Louis on January in the case
Of Campbell George, convicted in the
southern district of Indian Territory
of larceny. Charles l.. Moore, as
sistant encouragement Of Oklahoma,
will represent the state at this hear
ing and will take the negative of the
proposition. If the circuit court
should take jurisdiction Of the case
it would unsettIe the status of 1876
criminal cases which were pending
in the Indian Territory court of ap-
peals at the time of statehood.
Georges case, along with the others
was transferred to the state supreme
court upon the admission of the state
but was not reached until after the
creation of the criminal court of ap-
peals and was therefore transferred
to that court. The Judgment of the
lower court was affirmed and George
then appealed to the circuit court OF
appeals for the Eighth circuit, claim
ing that this course was open to him
inasmuch as such appeals were al
lowed under the territorial regime.
Assistant Attorney-General Moore
viii file a motion to dismiss the case,
on the ground that no appeal lies at
the present time from the highest
court of the state to the federal court.
The George case was the first one af-
firmed by the criminal court of ap-
peals after its creation by the first
legislature.

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 30 - A deter
mined effort will be made at the pri
maries next year to defeat the renom
ination of the three republican con
gressional representatives from Okla
homa-Bird S. Mcclure in the first
district, Dick T. Morgan in the second
district and C. e. Creager in the third
district, the three containing the bulk
of the republican voters in Oklahoma
In each district the motive for oppos-
ition to these incumbents is local in
| it's beginning, rather than because
of differences in the party OVER nation
al politics, though the latter will en-
ter into the contests, the extHnt to be
determined largely by the ability and
personal popularity of the candidates
that will oppose Cannonism and insist
upon an unevasive adherence to the
Chicago platform, especially its tariff
plank.

sentatives aligned themselves with
the Cannon-Aldrich element of their
party in Washington. It is improbable
that any opposing candidates to these
three Oklahoma republicans will come
out as 'stand-patters, they will seek
to draw strength from whatever "in-
surgent" sentiment there may be in
their respective districts, and join this
to whatever local dissatisfaction there
may be found against the incumbent.
Bird McGmire, in the first district,
iii addition tn his being a radical Cam
non man, is menaced by the dangers
that beset men who have been long
in office. In every county in his dis
trict there is an active antiMcGuire
faction. Morgan, in the second district
is an unagressive and, in fact timid
politician. His district is full of am
bilious aspirants for congressional
honors who will not hesitate to ignore
the precedent of giving a REPRESENTA-
tive denomination for a second term
as matter of courtesy. Factionalism
in the third district. the home of Crea-
ger, is rampant, as it has always been.
Creager's blunders in policy have
brought him the enmity of not only
one but sometimes two and three hos
tile factions, in the same community.
Republican party machinery not
only in the three republican congress
ional districts, but throughout the
state, is controlled at this time by
what were called reactionary republi-
cans, prior to the nomination of Taft |
at Chicago, and in the filling of vacan-
cies on the state and county commit
tees a "stand-patter" always gets the
place. AS a matter of fact the re-
publicans of Oklahoma. the grass .

able to take the party control away
from the leaders that intrenched them
selves in the federal officeholding days

that he was shot in duel few days

story. However, rumor persists that
the earl received wounds in duel
with an Englishman, in whose family
the earl had been received as friend.
The story continues that the earl and
this man came to Paris to settle their
grievances quietly.

OMAHA. May 3,-To the Editor of The
Bee: As to what this country can do and
should do in regard to the Armenian out
RACES, our history is unique enough to
warrant the United States in taking I'M
usual measures towards helping this dis
tressed people. Oour army and the Red
Cross have always done good work when
needed. They are tried and true. The
knowledge of this. coupled with the fact
that the Young Turk party has desired
that they have the good will and sympathy
of the American people. gives us a chance
to answer through the proper channel that
the new government has the good will and
best wishes OF the American people and
as an evidence of this we should like to
send a sufficient number of soldiers into
the devastated districts to assist these
people in returning to their farms and in
getting their crops started. Also that our
Red Cross be permitted to assist III the
care OF their sick and destitute. Right this
minute there should be places opened all
over the country where money coulf be
sent for this people. The mission Of the
American people should be to knock at
every door where there is distress from any
cause whatsoever and offer assistance-this
and nothing more. The need is great and
our patriotism should not be fofund want
ing. (.
