OKLAHOMA JOINS
 WITH ARKANSAS
Hearing en Rate Case Resumed at Lit tie Rock Before Judge P. C. DOOiey Comparative Statements to
 Be Produced.

Little Rock, Ark, April 26.-Okla- homa is goinf to fight out the rail- road rate question with Arkansas. Tn the two states fight so similar it might well be tried at the same time, is being waged against what the rail- road commissions term excessive freight rates. The taking of deposi- tons for the state of Arkansas in the litigation with the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt railroads, with Judge P. c. Dooley presiding as Special Mas ter, resumed in the Federal court this Torning, with Attorney General West and several members Of the Oklaho- ma Railroad Commission on hand to assist the Arkansas attorneys. Some of the Oklahoma commissioners will ge on the stand and make comparf- sons which they sal will show up beneficial to Arkansas. Of all the testimony, Attorney General West of Oklahoma will take close notes The StdIe tApGClS JO Have several rate GV rerts on the stand and G. w. Swain. the rate clerk of the Arkansas com mission, will go back on the stand and produce a very lengthy and exhaus- tive tabulated statement of railroad rates in other states, also interstate rates for similar distances, and com paring them with the Arkansas rates f>s promulgated by the commission in the tariff which was enjoined. This table will show that where Arkansas is bit high some places, it is so much lower in others, that the whole matter is stand off. The attorneys for the state will probably put on the stand this week experts from the rate department of the interstate Com- merce Commission. upon whose testi- r1ony they rely to bring out much evidence beneficial to the state.

KILLED ATTORNEY RICE
Police in Cleveland Find Bag of
Dead Hens Which May EX-
plain Murder

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. THE
first tangible clew to the mystery sur
rounding the murder of William l..
Rice is claimed to have been discoV-
cred today.
Private detectives this morning pro-
duced a bag containing six dead
chickens, which they said had been
found near where Rices body was
discovered.
The theory is advanced that Rice,
on his way home, encountered chicken
thieves and was killed in fight fol-
lowing his attempt to arrest them.
The police, however, still continue to
refuse to accept any explanation ex-
cept that Of murder for revenge. They
are not optimistic of the solution Of
the crime.
Mrs Rice and her four daughters ar
rived in Cleveland this morning from
Wianno, Mass Thew were accom-
panied by William Nelson Cromwell
of New York, who started for Cleve-
land Immediately on receiving the
news of Mr. Rices death.
Mr. Cromwell was associated with
the murdered lawyer in some business
ventures and it was reported he would
assume charge of Mr.. Rice's affairs
He refused to make any statement.

THIEVES WEAR GLOVES TO
LEAVE NO FINGER PRINTS
Home on ANarado Street Is En-
tered and JeWeIry Valued
at $3.50 Stolen

Wearing lightweight gloves to pre-
vent leaving any finger prints by which
they might be traced, two burglars,
thought by the police to be desperate
crooks, climbed into the second story
window of the home of Lon III. Mitchell,
a capitalist living at 1901 South Al
Varado street last night, ransacked the
rooms on the second floor and obtained
jewelry and other articles of the ag-
gregate value of $3.50.
The house was entered during the
absence of the family. The men went
to the rear of the house and gained ad-
mittance by climbing the rear porch
and forcing a window. There were
marks in the dust on the porch that in
dicate that two men committed the
burglary. Both marks were those of
right handsome small and the other
extremely large. From the nature of
the imprints it is probable the men
wore gloves of a light material, as De-
tectives Beaumont and Cowan, who
were detailed on the case, were unable
to trace thumb or finger lines.
The burglary was discovered by
Mitchell when he returned home shortly
after 10 o'clock last night. He found
the dresser drawers open and the con-
tents thrown on the floor and several
chairs overturned and the rugs disar-
ranged In one room the mattress had
been removed from the bed and was
laying in a corner of the room
Mitchell told the detectives that the
burglars had taken valuable diamond
ring, several costly stickpins, gold
medals set with jewels, q gold watch
a valuable jade brooch, pearl handled
revolver and a Luger automatic pistol.
Mitchell is president of the Alvarado
Oil company and has. offices in the
Douglas block.

POSTAL SERVICE DEFICIT
is REDUCED .S11,6oo,ooo
Hitchcock Gives Details of Money
Saved in a Year

WASHINGTON, Aug. I'm a state
ment today detailing the reduction of
S11. 800 900 last year in the postal de-
felt, Postmaster General Hitchcock
shows that 50 900, 900 of the sum repre-
sents economies in postoffice manage
ment and nearly S1,000,000 in a more
business like handling of city delivery
service. While this service was ex-
tended during the year, the reforms in
troduced cut down the general cost.
Reorganization without curtailmenr
of the rural delivery service was re-
sponsible for saving of $1,900,000, and
a reduction of 100000 was credited to
the star route service, including mis-
cellaneous transportation of mail other
than on railroads.
The combined savings in the cost
of handling the mails in postoffices and
in other branches of the service, ex-
cepting railroad transportation, was
S6,150,000 and the amount of deficiency
reduction traceable to the railway
service was $5,450000.

McALESTER, Okla, Aug. THAT
congress for the Indians, as a result of
the congressional investigation into the
McMurray contracts, is the belief gen.
eral among senators, congressman and
government officials assembled here.
The committee appointed by the
house of representatives and headed by
Congressman Burke of South Dakota
to inquire into the charges of Senator
Gore that he had been rendered $4,000
or $4,000 to help put the McMurray
deal through congress, arrived here to-
day from Muskogee and tomorrow will
continue its hearings here.
McAlester is the home town of ]. F.
McMurray, the attorney who, with 9TH
ers, holds the contracts.
The name of Vice President Sher-
man, who, according to Senator Gore,
was mentioned as the man higher up
has been eliminated from the investi-
cation so far as Senator Gore is con-
cerned.
The senator said he had no object in
mentioning Mr.. Sherman's name other
than to relate all that Hamon had said
to him.
1T is evident that the whole Indian
situation needs to be gone over by the
government" said an official today.
1.-THE Indians are wards of the govern
ment,- yet they have become the prey
of attorneys. For instance, one attor-
ney received $4,000 a year for repre-
senting one tribe and he resides in New
York. only in instances where the in
terests of the government and the In
dians conflict should attorneys be en-
ployed. Where the sale of land is con-
cerned the government itself has
agreed by treaty to dispose of the land
and give the proceeds to the Indians.
The evidence that has developed GER
tainly will enlighten congress on what
ought to be done"
