Grow out Of Town Fraud Cases In
Oklahoma, 49,.

Tulsa, Ok. May 10. -- Charges
against District Attorney Gregg, made
yesterday by the defense in the
Muskogee town lot fraud cases, we're
forwarded to the department Of jus
tice at Washington on the suggestion
of Judge Marshall, who is hearing the
trial. zee 49,
Judge Marshall refused to act on
the petition Of the defense, asking
that Gregg be prevented from trying
the case. The petition alleged that
improper influences had been brought
to bear on the grand jury which was
dismissed last Saturday as the re-
suit Of charges made by Mr.. Gregg.
The court assigned the following rea-
sons for his refusal to act:
Gregg's charges against the dis.
charged Jury he regarded as vague
and indefinite.
That the court had paid no atten-
ton to the charges in Gregg's mo-
ton, but had discharged the grand
jury because Of the right of the gov
eminent to change a grand Jury when

In his address to-day DR.. Fullerton
said:
ut is important at time like ours.
in the life Of the church that we con-
slider with care some things about
which there is need of a larger and
clearer vision. When accredited min
listers of the church deliberately .cast
suspicion upon truth SO fundamental
as the deity of Christ, is the time not
ripe for the. church to declare itself?
Arianism is not SO bold now nor SO
blatant as in the past. 1t would be
less dangerous If it were. It's ap:
proach is subtle now, it conceals itself
behind plausible theories and to the
.uninitiated appears as well-estab-
lished truth. The hurt, however, to
the cause comes rather from a lack
of positive conviction in the church
upon this great doctrine. a. lack of we'll
defined notions concerning it which do
not hesitate to defend themselves"

;On application Of rtte. attorney, F..

restraining Charles Flynn temporarily

more fully, from. interfering with
them in Sturgeon lake.
The case was argued before Judge
Williston last fall The attorneys for
Flynn contended that Stullen, Wilson
and Dull had no right to fish in Stur-
geon lake with net or seine because
the lake was no part of. the Missis.
sippi and was, therefore, illegal.
Judge Williston yesterday denied
the application to make the restrain

RefIling Of Boxes with Cancelled

. Arrests Are Made by Federal Au-

Chicago, May 20.-What is believed
by government officials to be one-of
the biggest internal revenue. frauds
which have been perpetrated in years
was uncovered when Joseph Rubin, a
cigar manufacturer at 529 jefferson
street, and Michael Goodman, pro-
prietor of delicatessen store at 1887
Milwaukee avenue, and incidentally a
cigar salesman, were arrested by
Maj. John G. Buckner and Larry Kill
course, internal revenue collectors.
The men were taken at once before
Commissioner Mark a. Foote and
placed under bonds to appear
for hearing Friday at p. m:
Thousands Of Cigars Seized.
Thousands Of cigars were seized by
the government officials and it is be-
lieyed that the arrests will put an end
to series of alleged frauds which
have been battling the revenue col
lectors and the local officials. of the
Cgarmakers' union for months. It
was more than year ago that Maj.
Buckner first ran across suspiciously
well-worn cigar label on a box in a
store at West Twenty-second and Hal
sted streets, which is in his district.
From that time he has been working
to locate the persons who were refill
ing the boxes and in the arrests be-
lieves that he has captured the prime
movers in the scheme
Boxes Are RefilIed.
The boxes which have been seized
and which the government; officials
assert have been refilled without at
taching new revenue stamps bear the
number of Rubin's cigar factory and
apparently come from his place of
business. Goodman's part in the af-
fair is believed to have been to get
these boxes out to dealers and back
to the factory without defacing the
stamps.
The men are said to have purchased
cigars in bulk from some source,
which in itself is a violation of the in.
ternal revenue law.
o., Repeat Use of Stamps.
Boxes which had once been used,
but on which the revenue and union
stamps had not been Cancelled, were
then filled with these cigars. Another
device which is said to have been
followed was to steam the stamps
from one box and then paste them
around another box without mutilat-
ing the paper. The officials say that
these stamps were used over and
over again, the men in the plot having
some method by which they secured
the boxes back the moment they were
emptied. :.- .,.,. -.
