murrer of Gov. Haskell and five other
Oklahomans to indictments charging
them with fraudulently securing from
the government title to large num-
Der of town lots in Muskogee, Okla.
The defendants were ordered to APP
pear for trial Saturday at Chickasha.

tended that the alleged acts of the
conspirators tended to practice a
fraud on the government He said
that the law provided that all Indian
land transactions must be approved
by the secretary of the interior of the
United States and if an official under

JOY Rides.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Some half-drunken ruffans were out
'3oy riding" in an automobile one even
ing this week. Espying a young woman
walking alone, they invited her to ride
with them. pretending to know her and
promising to take her home. She foolish
" assented. Then they insulted her, and
TO escape their outrages she sprang from
the car and was killed. That, at least,
was the story which she told with her
dying breath.
1t has become 'the regular thing for
a certain class Of automobilists to invite
almost any girl whom they may see on
the street TO ride with them, and tho
fascination OF the sport often tempts girls
who ought to know better to accept such
invitations. usually with disastrous re-
suits. Also It is observable that 'joy
riders" never run quite so recklessly as
when they have thus picked up some fool
ish or vicious women as their compan-
ions.
II may not be possible altogether to
prevent such folly or such vice, but we
should say that it might be somewhat
/ discouraged by always regarding It as an
aggrayating circumstance when a 10y
rider" is brought to the bar.

Girls and Football.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
There are no more enthusiastic patrons
OF intercollegiate and high-school football
than the girls and young women Of those
institutions. They espouse the cause Of
their favorite team with an ardor exceed
ing that OF the young men who follow
the game as participants or spectators.
They wear the colors of their favorites,
cheer them on in their most savage plays,
and resent any reflection on either the
game itself or on their chosen players.
Somehow this disposition does not seem

WINDING uP on FOOTBALL.

HE football season will soon be ended and
there is the usual cry for change of rules
so that the game shall not be marred by SO many
accidents. 1t must be confessed that the rough
play Of the year has carried with it an alarm
ing number of fatalities and it would seem that
the football rule wizards will have to get their
heads together to make changes so that the
sport shall not be so dangerous. Another thing
showing the strenuousness of the play this year
is the frequent substitution of new players
during a game. For example at the Pennsyl-
vania-Nfichipan game on Saturday, almost an en-
tire new set of players were put in to take the
place of those who began the contest. Some
think this rule which permits substitution OF
players unless the retiring player is absolutely
disabled is unfair and allows a team with a
fine array of substitutes to have an advantage
over another team
There is talk Of abolishing the game but that
is nonsense, Who is going to abolish it! 1t
has too firm hold upon large part of the
country to be done away with
The season has knocked into cooked hat the
claims of big six or big four among the
college football elevens. Not for years has there
been ''bg four worthy Of the name. Accord
ing to comparative scores-but they are delu-
sive way of iudging-some of the teams of the
'big four would be really second class elevens
if they had their proper rating this season.
Michigan easily outplayed Pennsylvania, and
yet the team Of the Notre Dame University in

gan more easily than Michigan defeated Penn

It has been hard season on the prophets The

SMYRNA, Del. Nov. 16.-In addition to

the peanut roaster," as the gasolene
motor car running between Clayton and
Smyrna is called. another fear now has
possessed the residents. It is that some
morning thoy will awaken and ind that
the Smyrna station has been boosted en-
tirely from the landscape
There is no concealing the fact that
many persons here suspect that the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company has a plan
under way TO put Smyrna on q shelf, to
make It about as insignificant on the rail-
road map as a tank station on a western
prairie. In line with this is a report that
the railroad company intends to abolish
the present station and 10 erect shelter
shed in its place for Smyrna. Under this
plan It is reported that commuters would
pay fare on the motor car TO Clayton, and
would purchase tickets at the Clayton
station for various points.
Smyrna station has been without clock
for sometime. and even that is now being
commented upon by the Observant and
disgusted Smyrnaians.
Objection to the peanut roaster" motor
car running between Clayton and Smyrna
is not so much to the motor car as TO the
inadequate facilities for handling passen-

urged. The use Of a trailer or another cal

has been made that vestlbuled trailer
