BIG WOLF MAKES A SCENE
Cheyenne Chief Vehemently Resists Restoration of Three-Cent Fare
 in Oklahoma.

Fort Reno, Oklahoma-Big Wolf. a Cheyenne Indian chief, has gone on record against the restoration of the Scent passenger fare by the Rock Island and Frisco railroad com panies, following the decision of Judge Hook in the United States cir cult court. which knocked out Oklaho- mas 2-cent fare law.
 Big Wolf was riding on the Rock Island from Fl Reno to Clinton, and knew the amount he should pay at 2 cents per mile. and when the con ductor charged cents he immediate ly took the warpath. declaring he was being short-changed, and threatening to clean out the coach, loaded with passengers. The conductor stood his ground, however. and Big Wolf was finally appeased Numerous white passengers also protested against the increased fare.

ASK LEGISLATURE
 TO CUT TAX RATE
TAX COMMISSION SAYS TAXES
 MUST BE REDUCED.
Says This Will Be Necessary Before Property Can Be Assessed at
 Full Value.

Little Rock,-The state tax com mission has announced positively that tn. next state legislature will be asked to reduce the present state tax rate in order that property may be assessed at it's full value thereafter.
 Just what reduction will be asked is not yet determined upon, and will probably be governed largely by the results in the assessments for the cur rent year, as well as by the outlook for needed appropriations in the flu ture It is even probable that the amount of the decrease will not be recommended. that being left to the legislature itself
 What we want the legislature to do, said Judge Hampton. chairman Of the commission, lis to make such Il reduction of the tax rate as will en- able the assessors and the tax com mission to place all the property in the state on the tax books at it's fair market value, as required by law It would, of course, be impractieable to suggest what that reduction might be, at present, but We will certainly have data sufficient before us by the time the next legislature meets for this matter to be fairly determined ,"
 The only rates over which the leg islature will have direct control are those for general taxes. including the common school, general revenue, Con federate pension fund and state cap itol fund.
 Other tax rates are either county Or district, and can be regulated very easily locally, shoul dthe citizens of community decide they did not need the increased revenue under the full valuation. The road tax itself is local tax. so that there will be no difficulty in adjusting other tax rates when the state rates are once lowered
 It has been doubted as to whether there should be any decrease in the general revenue tax rate, which is about one-fourth of the total state tax levied. At present the general rev zenue is insufficient to meet the de mands for state expenditures and some are of the opinion that even with 8 full valuation of property the tax of 3-4 mills, levied for general state expenditures. should stand un- reduced The appropriations made by the last legislature had to be cur down to prevent a deficit. although they had been made after months of deliberation and in view of the rev enue condition. With the growing needs of the state institutions and the necessity for means with which to properly exploit the state at home and abroad, many contend that the general revenue rate on the present basis of valuation, will have to be raised.

TRIUMPH FOR AMERICANS
German Campaign of Sander Against the Deutsche Vacuum Oil
 Company Fails.

Berlin.-The long and venomous campaign waged by German newspa- pers and rival industrial interests against one of the German branches of the Standard Oil company-the Deutsche Vacuum Oil company-has just been brought to a victorious end for the Americans involved.
 A well-known Hamburg newspaper for months printed such series of attacks on the American graft meth ods" alleged to have been practiced by the vacuum company in the con- duct of it's German business that the public prosecutor of Hamburg felt constrained to make an official inves- tigation with view to eventual in- dictments The prosecutor has now concluded his investigation. especially of the work of F. L. Quarles. Ameri- can manager of the German con- panys sales department, and an nounces that no necessity exists for pursuing the inquiry further
 No evidence of anything warranting prosecution was found against MT Quarles. and the costs of the entire in quiry will be borne by the state.
 The result of the investigation con stitutes a notable triumph for Ameri- can interests in Germany.
 It is not the first time that Ger mans. finding themselves unable to compete with Americans on ordinary terms, have resorted to islander.

Naturalization of Manchurian Rail. roads an Important Part of tho Treaty-Fifteen Years An
 tagonism Ends.

Washington, D. C.-After fifteen years of bitter anragonism Russia and Japan have agreed, by means of a binding treaty, to join hands and in- terests in China. The treaty is to go into effect as soon as signed in dupli- cate
 This action guarantees the status quo in the far East State depart ment officials are highly elated over it. No foreign powers are concerned in this agreement which affects only the contracting nations.
 The question of n1ncaurian rail ways comes in as the most important article Russia agrees to consider ia vorably the naturalization of all the Chinese railway lines, whether owned by China or private corporations, Chi nese or foreign, subjecting them to sheriff regulations in times of war, limiting their use by the belligerent and defining their movements
 The treaty itself is an extensive document, which permits no ambigu- ous interpretation. All differences that arise shall be referred to the United States.
 Russia s motive for neutralizing the entire Chinese system of railroads is due to the confidence that such a step would be agreeable to Japan as well as to the United States.
 Knox Aids in Argument.
 The influence or the latter's diplo- macy is discernable throughout the treaty, Russia adhering to the Knox naturalization scheme and Japan ap proving in decisive terms the exploi tation of China through American money.
 Russia especially hopes to derive great benefits. She wishes to settle the Chinese question, and, having eliminated all fear of aggression, will give better attention to Persia. where she has many interests. This will open the way, it is said for a better understanding with Englan-, which is the protecting power over Persia and, as England is Japan's ally, the ar engagement that is expected to follow will adhere to the wishes of Japan.
 The ratification of the agreement is expected within the month. How soon the formal announcement will follow after that is conjectural
 The expiring treaty with Russia is an obsolete document and for diplo- matic purposes the two countries have ignored it entirely. The Portsmouth treaty will offer no obstacle because of the provision subjecting it to the new document.
 In this connection there enters the new American-Japanese treaty to re- place the Gresham agreement, which was terminated by Japan ten days ago, and the expected proposal by Russia for a Russian-American treaty. This will complete -,e missing link in the far Eastern triumvirate, so far entered into by Japan and the United States and Japan and Russia
