TO URGE ADOPTION
OF POSTAL BANK
President Taft Will Ask Congress For
Early Enactment Of Savings
Bank Law.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 26.-Taft indi-
Gated in a talk with callers yesterday
that in his message to congress next
December, he will strongly urge the
early establishment of postals saw
ings bank system. He viii ask that
the platform declaration Of the repub-
lican party in favor Of the postal
banks be fulfilled as speedily as pos
sible.
Taft believes that several hundreds
of millions of dollars would be placed
at the disposal of the government
through the postal. savings banks. i
is suggested that this money might
well be employed in taking up the
six hundred million or seven hundred
million dollars of government two per
cent bonds, which the outstanding and
which have given much concern to
the treasury officials. Already the
two per cent bonds are selling below
par and there is fear of further de-
probation in view of three per cent
issues which have been authorized
and which soon may be placed on the
market.
The president believes that the
postal banks would appeal to those
timid persons afraid to trust ordinary
banks.

MANY ARRESTS FOLLOW
RECENT INDICTMENTS

Sapulpa, Okla, Aug. Bootleg
gers are being arrested by wholesale
by the sheriff and his deputies as a
result Of indictments returned by the
recent grand jury.
Many of the prominent liquor sell
ers have fed the city, some are under
bonds in sums ranging from $1,000 to
1880, and some are unable to give
bond are in jail
Sheriff Stein and his force have
been busy making arrests and it is
understood that less than half the
warrants have been served.
The grand jury's probing revealed
it is said, persons not generally sus-
pected of being guilty Of violating the
law in any way engaged in the sale
of whisky, and the wholesale arrests
have created a sensation.
The freedom with which the boot
leggers nave operated in this city
and county caused suspicion to at
tach to the officers of prominent coun-
ty officials, including the county attor.
ney and the former sheriff, who re-
signed when the investigation began.

BEVERAGE
IS AGAIN ON SALE.
Following Report OF State Chemist
DeBarr, the Joints Resume sale
Of Amber Mead

1t is claimed that the lid Oh the
sale Of Amber Mead in vinita went
off this morning and the joints are
dispensing the frothy beverage with
utter disregard for the county attor-
ney under whose order the joints
were closed by injunction several
weeks ago.
This action of the jointists is due
to the report Of Dr. Edwin DeDarr,
the state chemist, on the analysis Of
Amber Mead, in which he states that
this beverage contains less than one
half Of one per cent alcohol. and
therefore its sale is not in violation
Of the Oklahoma prohibition law
DR.. DeBarrs report caused the
county court in many of the counties
to order the return Of all Amber Mead
Iconfiscated, to the owners.
1t seems that there has been many
conflicting reports Of the amount o.
alcohol contained in Amber Mead.
One report submitted to County At
torney Brady, showed van alcoholic
percentage Of 4:5s and dn one case
over Ave per cent AS Dn DeBarr
! Is the official chemist for the state
and Is recognized as one Of the most
efficient chemists in the country, be-
ing dean Of the department Of chemis-
try at the state university, it Is Tery
probable that his report will be ac-
cepted by the courts as final, and no
further proceedings be X instigated
against the sale Of Amber Mead.

Duty on irel Ore

The Senate has voted to make the
duty on iron ore % cents a ton. 1t
is now 40 cents. What the conference
committee will do remains to be dis
closed probably in the hot days OF
midsummer. The vote in the Senate
on the 25-cent proposition was 81 to
"a. Seventeen democrats voted in the
affirmative, including Senator john
ston. Connected with the rate on ore
is the duty on pig iron, which stands
in the Aldrich bill at $3.50 ton, as
against 81 a ton in the Dingley law.
Both these rates will be fought over
in the conference committee, but the
best opinion is that the rates named
in the Aldrich bill will not be changed.
The great agricultural west is seek
ing lower duties on fence wire and
certain grades of round iron bars and
merchant steel bafs that are utillzeu
by blacksmiths and machinists and
makers of agricultural implements.
There is not at any rate any organ
lied movement against the duties
named by the Senate on either iron ore
or pig iron.
The rates on rails and coal will soon
come up in the Senate and both will
be fought over. But the real battle
will be in conference, and all feel
that the Senate rates are to some ex-
tent made for the purposes of the
inevitable trades of modern tariff max
ing behind the closed doors of the con-
ference committee.

jury in a given case. One such jury
acquitted Thornton Hams, while an
other said Peter c. Hams is guilty of
manslaughther in the first degree. One
such jury acquitted Harry Thaw and
convicted Hams.
1--WE are to be thankful" says the
Springfield Republican, that the pro-
gress of the unwritten law northeast
ward has thus been checked beyond
the borders of New England" This
check however rests on an uncertain
basis. No one knows what a petit
jury will do hereafter, especially IL
compromise yerdicts are to become
numerous in capital cases. The COM
promise verdict has long been a pos
sibility, and the most and the best
that can be said of it is that it is
one degree better than the verdict
of acquittal that was rendered in the
Thornton Hams case.
