When they have completed their Investigations the facts developed will be reported to Secre- tary Wilson, who is at his home at Traer, Iowa. but will return here next Tuesday.

Augustine, Tex, June 10.-- Governor Haskell of Oklahoma has declined to honor the requi- sition of Governor Campbell for the extradition of Chapman, Browne and Grimes, who are wanted at Del Rio, Tn connection with charge of uttering a forged instrument, in connection with the alleged land frauds relating to the lands of Kickapoo Indians.

TO GIVE COUNTIES
 THE FIRST CHANCE
Commissioner Tucker Requests Pen itentiary Board to Hold Up Ap- plicatiOns to Lease
 Convicts.

Little Rock, June 11.-Guy 5. Tucker, commissioner of agricul- ture, yesterday afternoon made request of the penltenliary board members that no action be taken ou the applications from consrac- tors who are offering good money for convict labor until after the July terms of the county courts over the state. Commissioner Tucker states all of the county judges will then know what ac- tion they will take on working convlcts on the roads, as permit ted by the Patterson bill, and the board can figure upon just how many men can be spared from the farm, which are not wanted by the counties. Commissioner Tuck CT some time ago wrote to all of the county judges asking them what they intended to do about working the convicts, and many have asked to wait until after the July court to reply. The next meeting of the penitentiary board will probably see a number of additional bids handed in, and a nun Der of these will make offers of over $1, the present contract price.

Kansas City, June 12.-Gov. Hadley has called on each of the county courts of the various counties to col lect from each saloon. July 1, $50 for state purposes instead of S100. as has been the rule several years. Each lected hereafter for state purposes. Under instructions from the governor the excise commissioner of St Louis has notified the saloons of that city 10 be prepared to pay the higher li- cense.
 The Legislature of 1907 passed an act that the license for state purposes must not be less than $100 or more than $200 for each period of six months. The state, at first, levied the minimum amount Last winter the governor asked that the rate be speci- fled by the legislature at $150. The house passed the bill, but the senate refused, The governor, however, has decided to increase the rate anyway, under the option allowed by the legls- lative act of 1907.
 The house, which represents popu- lar sentiment most directly, passed the bill to raise the rate" Gov. Had ley said this morning, and we have a right to believe that the people favor the higher rate. It will give us sS00.- 900 more for the biennial period and prove of immense value in putting the state on a cash basis, as the con 'titution conteIaplates. It was fast ;etting on a credit basis"
