The interest Of the government In the
present prosecutions Is simply that OF a
trustee" said Mr.. Mott, who, with CHIEF
Moty Tiger OF the Greeks, was In st. Louis
for a few hours on his way to Washington.
The Creeks lost many acres by fraudu-
lent transactions. Because the government
was trustee for the Indians II was charged
with the duty OF recovering these lands;
but II was prevented from properly dis
charging its duties as trustee by the frauds.
Consequently the interest OF the govern
ment in the criminal prosecutions Is still
that of a trustee in addition to It's usual
police attitude.
There Is no truth in the report circu-
lated by Governor Haskell or his friends
that William r. Hearst inspired the suits.

that he will now proceed with the measure,
which Is designed to secure an extact cen

the opposition to the bill. according to, the
speeches of its opponents. was based either
on grounds OF e~xtraneous to the Japanese

Oklahoma Court Passes on statute in
hat State.

tnat Stntes
(From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Feb. 4-(speclal.)-In the as
signments of error in the case of the Noble
state banke of Cleveland, Okl., in which the
Oklahoma supreme court upheld the Okla
homa bank guaranty law, the following
constitutional questions were raised, the de-
cision being by a friendly court to uphold
the law on the ground the state had police
powers sufficient to enact the same.
1t was alleged the law was in conflict
with the Oklahoma constitution, which pro-
vides that all persons shall have the in
herent right to life, liberty, the pursuit of
happiness and the enjoyment of the gains
of their own industry. in that it deprives
the plaintiff of the gains of his own indus
try for the benefit OF the depositors Of other
banks in which the plaintiff has no interest.
The Oklahoma constitution provides NO
person shall be deprived of life, liberty or
property without due process OF law, and
the act was alleged to deprive the bank of
property by virtue OF the said assessment
without due process OF law.
A violation of the charter contract be-
tween the bank and the state was urged
as in contravention of the constitution,
which provided that no bill of attRinder,
ex post facto law nor any law impairing
contracts shall ever be passed.
Another section Of the constitution pro-
vides no private property shall be taken or
damaged for private use with or without
compensation unless by the consent Of the
owner, except for certain purposes. and the
act was alleged to take the money of the
plaintiff for private use without the consent
of the plaintiff. If held that the property
was taken for. public use the allegation
raised was that there was no compensa-
ton. in contravention of another section OF
the constitution.
The fact that an act of the legislature
must embrace but one subject. was urged
against the law.
A penalty for embezzlement was included
In the law and this was declared to make
the act broader than the title.
The levying of the tax was urged to bC
for private and not public use and In VIC
lation of the constitution, which says take
shall be levied for public uses only.
There is no protection for the individual
stockholders in the law and this was urget
as a violation OF the clause of the ~constitu
ton which provided the banking law mus
be for the protection Of the depositors anC
stockholders.
Federal questions were raised in that tn,
law impaired contracts and deprived thu
plaintiff Of property without due process
of law.

SENATOR TIBBETs is TIRED
Lobbyists Are the Occasion of His

From a Staff Correspondence
= LINCOLN, Feb. 4-(special)-"Im tired
of these lobbyists, electioneerlng for their
measures every time one turns around"
said Senator Tibbets this morning. zone
cannot move around in. the senate without
meeting someone interested in a bill. They
come on the floor of the chamber and the
anti-lobby law is apparently a nullity."
While 1t was not designated in so many
words, the reference of the president pro
ten. OF the senate was made because of
the activity Of the women who are seeking
to gain support for the woman suffrage
amendment, the discussion of which will
soon be held. The president of the State
Woman's Christian Temperance union or
ganization, interested in reform movements,
was the first lobbyist to register on the
secretary of states book, but some of the
special champions OF woman suffrage have
not appended their names to the book.
Senator Tibbets has openly declared he Is
not for suffrage. and on the preliminary de-
bate on the question said he had not heard
the call from the cultured women OF the
state. Some of the women. have since been
trying to rectify this oversight.
Aside from this some of. the senators
find that discriminating between lobbyists
is a difficult task. The law, they take It,,
means that a person who is identified with
some special interest comes under the pros
vision OF the anti-lobby law, but that a
person who seeks to Influence legislation in
general and who desires to talk with mem
