Nevada and the laps
Speaker Citizens anti-Japanese resolu-

mcnts from the press of the country. A
few Of these comments follow:

reported a resolution criticising Presi-
dent Roosevelt for interfering with the
anti-Japanese legislation in California

The mining city of Wilkes-Barre has

FILE THEIR FORMAL CHARGES
HASKELL AND OTHERS ACCUSE
OKLAHOMA ATTORNEYS.
Allege Combination to Procure I'm
lawful Indictments Of Defendants
in Town Site Cases.

c. N Haskell and other defendants in
the various town site cases in Oklahoma
have filed their formal charges in the
Department of Justice against w. ].
Gregg, district attorney for the eastern
district of Oklahoma; Sylvester Rush, as
sistant attorney general. and NJ. l.. Mott,
special attorney for the Creek Indians,
who has also assisted as special counsel
in the town lot cases of Oklahoma.
1t is expected that the Attorney Cen
eral will refer these charges to the three
attorneys against whom they are lodged
for their answers, and that the depart
ment will take no further action until
their replies have been received.
The charges allege that these attorneys
were combined in an attempt to procure
unlawfully and by improper means an
indictment of c. y. Haskell and other
defendants in the Oklahoma town site
cases. They are charged with attempt
ing to prejudice and intimdate witnesses
examined before the grand jury in the
cities of Muscogee and Tulsa, and also
with attempting in various ways to dis
credit Haskell and other defendants, and
with displaying incorporate zeal and
prejudice in their investigation.
Various charges are made concerning
attempts to injure the defendants through
newspaper publications. Gregg and others
are charged with securing the discharge
of the grand jury and the impaneling
of another because the grand jury at
that time assembled would not issue in
dictments. and 1t is claimed that Gregg.
Rush and Mott had stated that they
would do this if they could not secure
indictments.

Chickens in Town.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
A town. especially the capital Of the
country, ought not to have chickens, ex-
cept in large yards Of semi-detached
houses in the suburbs. and then cared
for at home and not turned loose in the
streets and on the neighbors. There are
other troubles besides the Growing rooster.
He, in fact, is not much worse than an
alarm clock. The walls OF modern houses
are so thin nowadays that my neighbor's s
clock rattles me awake. besides now and
then ending it's song by tumble from
liable or mantel and coming down crash
like a pistol shot. That beats rooster.
It is q noise, and yet l can't prosecute
my neighbor. But to the hens and
chicks. l have a corner house and a
large front lawn and. being passionately
fond of flowers, possess many fine speci-
mems Of valuable plants on the lawn.
From to I every morning my neighbor-
hood opens its back doors and turns out
three different focks to take exercise and
breakfast on the near lawns. Though l
have had fence, wire netting and Usage
orange hedge with thorns an inch long to
repei night-loafers from hanging and dis
the fence, the hens come In by
the entrance steps, that have no gate.
and peck at lawn and roots. And yet the
ROSTERS, II there are any, do not trouble
me, but every morning have to "shoo"
some tramp hen off the lawn and flow
ers, Hence I object to chickens In town,
except in the market.

that the natural temperature of the

and to do what he was told, even to the
finding of the north pole. the running

The great regret he felt. Mr.. Du Bois
declared. was the separation from the
members Of the District Society of the

in Washington and long for the time
