State Supreme Court Renders Decision in
Famous HGrtshOrne Case That is Con-
sidered FinGl---Justice Williams
Dessents from Opinion.

Guthrie, okla. Jan. 12.-The state

decision in the now famous Hart

eminent jurists as confirming the con.
tention OF the Pioneer Telephone &
Telegraph company Viz: That the
right 10 name schedules OF rates and
telephone dues does not lie with the
governing bodies of the cities served.
This decision of the highest court
in the land is of more than passing
interest as all of the cities of the state
where exchanges are maintained are
affected by it and especially those
cities of the eastern districts where
the telephone company has been con
tending since the time of territorial
rule for the right to fix its own rates,
subject only to the limitations impos-
ed by the courts on the state cor.

FOGLE'S VERSION
OF CONTROVERSY
Former City Clerk Tells Of His Part
In Deal Of Recent Paving
Bond Issue.
Daily Chieftain:

Daily Chieftain:
In view OF the article appearing in
your paper on January 10th. relative
to the controversy of DR.. I. T. Winner
and Mr.. A. II. Bertram with Mr.. q. j.
oyerley, in which you gave Mr.. over
ley's version as to who was to blame
for the issuing Of bonds covering an
amount that had already been paid to
Mr.. Overley by these gentlemen, !
think II only due myself to say that
the facts viii absolutely refute Mr..
Overley's imputation.
My term OF Office as city cierk had
expired. Mr.. Overley had not been
able to negotiate his paving bonds by
reason OF the fact, among others, that
they had been issued in two series.
Mr.. Overley employed me, as an attor-
ney, to take the necessary steps TO
take up the bonds which had been is-
sued In two series and have the issue
made iri one series TO meet the re-
uuirements OF the bond company 20
which he had sold his bonds.
The law under which the paving
was done provided that individual tax
warrants should first be issued against
each lot liable for assessment, which
had been done, and that these tax war
rants might be retained In the city
treasury and certificates IN gross,
commonly spoken of as bonds, be Is

rants as were In this hands OF the

been issued for the same and paid,
nor did i at any tima COLLECT one dol
lar Of paving assessment or cancel one
warrant. The warrants we're never
in my possession after they were sign

city clerk and delivered to the city
treasurer

WARMING SENT OUT
AGAINST BOGUS BILLS

Look closely at your 81 bills. There
is new counterfeit one "simoleon"
silver certificate In circulation that
will degalte anyone except 2 special
list. II any periods are missing on
bills, don't accept them
The new bin made its appearance a
week ago in Chicago. The imitation
is 80 cleverly worked out that the
secret service department considers
it a dangerous bill.
Edward ]. McHugh Of the secret SER
vice department was in the city today
with one of the counterfeits. He is
eager that the public be warned
against accepting the bogus bills.
The counterfeit is supposed to be
one Of the series of 1s99-check letter
c.; face plate number 4s01; back
plate number 1888. It has the sigma
ture of w. T. Vernon, register of the
treasury; Charles H. Treat, treasurer
Of the United States, and portraits of
Lincoln and Grant. It is numbered
R927S6452 The counterfeit appar-
emily Is printed from retouched photo
mechanical plates on good quality bond
paper. with ink lines to initiate the
silk fiber
A careful inspection Of the counter
felt shows that the portraits of Lin
coin and Grant are poor. A white
patch represents Grants nose. The
periods after Treat. over the q" in
United" under the treasurer's sigma
ture, after the "T" and after Vernon"
in the signature of the register are
omitted in the bogus certificate. The
small word United" in the border Of
the note to the right of Grants por-
trait is spelled "Usited."
c. A. Altemus, assistant cashier Of
the Chicago City Railroad company,
discovered the counterfeit and advised
the secret service department.
