TWO CENT FARE IS
DECLARED VOID
Temporary Injunctions Formally Is
sued at ST. Louis-State Gives
Notice Of Appeal.

St. Louis, Mo-, Feb 10.-Temporary
injunctions were formally issued yes
terday in the United States circuit
court against the state of Oklahoma
and the Oklahoma corporation commits.
sion, restraining them from further
enforcement of the 2-cent passenger
fare and certain railroad freight rates
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas and
the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe rail
roads gave bond for $2500O0 each,
and the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe for
$4,000 to protect passengers if it is
ultimately determined that the higher
rates should not be continued
The orders followed an opinion de.
livered by Judge Hook, in which he
held the evidence showed that by the
present rates in Oklahoma the rail
roads were not earning fair income
on their investment.
Judge Hook held that in determine
ing the earning power of railroad do
ing an interstate and local business,
there is tendency to deny that out
standing bonds and stocks are evil
dence of value. He said these must be
taken into account in ascertaining the
value within any state.
In his opinion, Judge Hook said
"The number Of tons hauled one
mile has no bearing on the value of
property save as revenue is produced.
Passengers are not hauled by weight
and the passenger and ton-mile can
not be reduced to common term. The
earnings in the state can only fairly
be determined on a mileage basis"
Upon this mileage basis Judge Hook
found the earnings of the Missouri.
Kansas & Texas in Oklahoma was 1-3
per cent, and that of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn was 315 per cent. This, he said,
was not fair earning.
The state OF Oklahoma will appeal
from the opinion.

max in the Swope death mystery

G. Paxton, the family counselor, filed
information at the Office of the county
prosecutor, formally charging DR..

the first degree, and holding him re-
sponsible for the death of Col Thomas
H. Swope. Virgil Conkling, the coun.
ty prosecutor, said later that a war
rant for DR.. Hyde's arrest would be
sworn out some time during the after
noon.
Later it was agreed between DR..
Hyde's attorneys and the prosecutor
that the physician should voluntarily
go to the prosecutors office at
O'Clock this afternoon and accept serv-
ice. In the meantime DR.. Hyde re-
manned at the office of his attorneys,
awaiting the hour of the agreed sur
render.
Anticipating the issuance Of the
warrant DR.. Hyde's attorneys had told
Conklin that their client was ready
and willing to accept service and that
he would be available whenever de-
sired

FINAL REPORT ON
RAILROAD BONUS
If vinita is to Get Usage Western
Contract Must Be Closed
Soon.

The promoters of the Usage West
ern railroad have announced that they
are ready to begin work, as soon as
the towns along the proposed route
sign up the bonus contracts, and the
railroad committee of the Vinita Com
mercial club is diligently at work try
ing to complete the subscription for
Vinita's bonus. There are still some
of the larger property owners who
have failed to subscribe, but it is
hoped they will do so at once.
The committee expects Mr.. Walters
here not later than Monday, at which
time the city must be in position to
give him a definite answer as to his
proposition.
The committee will report the pro
gress made. at the regular meeting Of
the Commercial club, and it is desir
ed that everyone interested in the
construction of this road attend the
meeting tonight 1t is probable that
some plan for guaranteeing the bonus
will be adopted It has been rumor
ed that a sufficient amount had beer
subscribed, but such is not the case
and the railroad committee is ex
tremely anxious to get all who have
not subscribed to do so now. Severa
who had subscribed are subscribing
more today in an effort to bring the
amount up to the required figure. The
only proposition Mr.. Walters ha.
agreed to accept is bonus OF $4,000
and the committee does not consider
it safe to offer him a smaller figure.

REMARKABLE PRICE
PAID FOR TURKEYS
Fifty-Three Birds Sold For $151.4o--
Farmers Are Looking For Big
Crop Year.

The fact that corn and hogs are
no longer the sole source of income
to farmers of Craig county, was evil
denced by a statement of G. A. Tyler,
today, that his wife had during the
winter sold fifty-three turkeys for
$151.40 or an average of nearly $500
per turkey Mr.. Tyler had in his
possession check for $4.25 which
was the proceeds of the sale of one
turkey. This gigantic fowl weighed
twenty-five pounds, and sold for sew
enteen cents per pound. In speaking
of the turkeys Mr.. Tyler said that
had it not been for the floods early
last summer that he believed his wife
would have realized as much money
from her turkeys as he did from his
crop of corn and hogs. One hundred
and ten of the young fowls were
drowned during one rain last spring.
Mr.. Tyler is one of the most pros
porous farmers of the upper Cabin
Creek country, and what he says
about farming is considered pretty
authentic. In speaking of the pros
poets for the coming year, Mr.. Tyler
says the outlook is indeed good. Many
of the farmers in that vicinity have
begun breaking for the new crop, and
the ground is working up in great
chana

sell. The money was paid from a
fund given to the governor for extra
help in Office, including necessary
help in holding county seat and spe-
cial elections in towns desiring to be-
come cities of the first class" The
governors critics declare that the pay
ment to Hutchings could not lawful
ly be made from this fund.
