CITY WILL
ISSUE BONDS
JUDGE RUSSELL DIRECTED
BONDS TO BE ISSUED IN DIS
TRlCT COURT THIS MORNING.

Outstanding Indebtedness against
the city can be funded by issuing
bonds, says Judge Russell, and bonds
will be issued and sold as the war
rants are issued and cancelled.
The entire day was taken up by
Judge Russell yesterday in the dis
trict court in the matter of the issu-
ance of bonds to fund the indebted
ness owed by the city of Ardmore.
Attorney Thomas Norman, tax
payer of the city demonstrated
against the issuance of the bonds,
on the grounds that it would increase
the Indebtedness of the city to eX-
ceed the constitutional Imitation,
that the Indebtedness was void be-.
cause it exceeded eighty per cent
of the income during the year in
which they We're issued and taken
together with other Indebtedness of
the city would exceed the five per
cent limitation.
The testimony showed that the in
debtedness sought to be funded, Ia
ken together with all other indebt-
edness against the city did not
amount to five per cent of the tax
able value at the time the indebt-
edness was incurred, it further show
ed that THE indebtedness incurred
for any year did not exceed the in
come for that year. On this showing
Judge Russell directed the bonds to
be issued and the outstanding debts
funded.

DOCTORS GET
A BIG WELCOME
CROWDS OF SICK PEOPLE
THRONGED WAITING
ROOMS TODAY.
Many Patients Came From Out Of
Town to See Great Specialists
and Be Cured.

\ most royal reception was extend
ed to the United Doctors yesterday,
upon the occasion of the opening of
their new Ardmore institute, which
is located al Adrien Hotel Building.
All afternoon the waiting rooms
were crowded with patients who
were anXiously waiting their turn
for a free consultation with these
world-renowned medical specialists.
so great was the crush of patrons
that the specialist who is in charge
of this new institute. was kept busy
all day, and even then, was not able
toexamine all callers. Many pa
tients from out of town We've in the
crowded waiting rooms. Some were
there from as far south Az Texas line
while others came from the neigh
borhood OF Pauls Valley and other
distant points.
Besides the many patients. there
were also number OF business men
and prominent citizens who had call
ed to pay their respects to the United
Doctors and to wish them well.
The grand free offer of free eX-
animation and treatment at cost OF
medicine is extended 20 the second
fifty cases on account of so many not
getting to see the doctors today. Aft
er this regular fees will be charged
to all.
Anyone suffering from any nor
vous or blood disease or other chron-
ic disease cannot do better than to
call upon these famous medical
specialists. You will find them per
fectly honest and upright in their
dealings. If they cannot cure you
they will frankly tell you so, for
it is their invariable rule to refuse
to treat any incurable case.
While the United Doctors will not
treat any case that they deem incur
able, yet no one should despair be-
cause other doctors have failed TO
cure or relieve them. It must be re-
membered that the vast experience
of these world-famous medical ex-
perts and the scientific use of their
wonderful new system of treatment
enables them to cure many cases
that have been pronounced hopeless
by old methods.
The United Doc'ors solicit difficult
and deep-seated cases. They want
the failures of other doctors to come
to them at once. This will enable
them to show the people what this
new system Of medicine will DO in
curing disease and relieving suffer
ing. This will enable them to Soon
gain a reputation here as they have
in other states where their Older in
stitutes are now established. Exam
nation and consultation are conhden-
tial and free to all. Treatment Is
free except for the cost OF medicines
used.

COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS.
Met Monday to Hear Arguments and
Hand Down Opinion.

Hand Down Opinion.
Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 2S.-The court
of criminal appeals met today to hear
arguments on a number of cases and
also handed down three opinions.
In the case of Garnsey VS.. State,
appealed from Beaver county, Judge
Doyle wrote the opinion. The de-
fendant below was arrested for an
offense six months before statehood,
in what was then Indian Territory.
Before he was indicted the state was
admitted and no grand jury was call
ed, so he was proceeded against on
an information by the county attor-
ney. The fifth amendment to the
constitution of the United States pro-
vides that mo person shall be held
to answer for a capital or otherwise
Infamous crime unless on present
ment or indictment of a grand jury"
and the court held that his alleged
offense was a crime punishable by
term of years in the penitentiary, 1t
was an infamous crime under the
meaning of the amendment and that
no party could be tried on informa-
ton for such crimes, if committed be-
fore statehood.
The court reserves itself in the
case of w. A. Buchanan VS.. State, on
appeal from Carter county. Judge
Furman admitting in the opinion that
the court had become convinced that
a previous decision of the court In
the case of Reed VS.. State 6 OKLA
homa Criminal Reports, page III,
was not the correct doctrine. w. A.
Buchanan, a notary public OF Dur
wood, Carter county, was arrested
for violation of the liquor laws. The
evidence showed that one Of the wit
nesses had testified that he asked
Buchanan if he knew where he could
get him some whisky. Buchanan
thought he did, and the man gave
him 30 cents. Later on another man
came and handed him a half-pint OF
whisky, Buchanan having nothing
further to do with the transaction.
The defendant below claimed that
he was simply acting as the agent
of the buyer and had no pecunlary
interest in the sale. Under the Reed
case. that would have been a good
defense. but the court held that the
Reed case was the incorrect theory
and that when the statutes said all
persons concerned in the commission
of a crime, whether 1t be felony or
a misdemeanor, and whether they di-
rectly committed the act constituting
the offense or aid and abet in tne
commission are principals" and they
had covered this proposition and that
any person taking any part in the
transaction was guilty.
As to the agency proposition, the
court says, "the law Of agency as ap-
piled in civil cases has no applca-
ton in criminal cases, and no man
can escape punishment when he par
ticipates in the commission OF
crime upon the ground that he SIM
ply acted as the agent for any party.
Only two states in the union, Mis-
sissippi and Alabama, are In concord
with the decision, every other state
that has passed on the matter hold
Ing that where the party is simply
the agent he is not guilty, but the

.BALL|NGER IN
THE ROWELL CASE

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Secretaryl
Ballinger filed in the district SUI
preme court today his answer to a
mandamus proceeding which has
been instituted against him by Jas.
F. Rowell of Oklahoma, who claims
to be a full member Of the Kiowa,
Comanche and Apache tribes of In
dians. Fl
BY an act of congress of June
7, 1910, the secretary of the inte-
rior was directed to issue a patent
to Rowell as a full member of those
tribes to 100 acres of land lying on
the outskirts of Lawton, Okla, it
being represented that Rowell had
never received an allotment of Ok
lahoma land as other members of
the tribe had.
Rowell's action in the supreme
court of the district is to compel
the secretary to issue patent.
Secretary Ballinger in his answer
sets forth that the preident has is
sued orders to the clerk in the
general land office who signs pat
ents in his name not to sign this
patent until after congress assem-
bles and has had opportunity fur
ther to consider the special act
passed. for RowelPs benefit. Secre-
tary Ballinger further sets out that
the land involved rs worth at least
$4,000; that Rowell it a white man
claiming right to allotment as
a member of the Kiowa tribe by
reason of his marriage to an Indian
woman, and that Rowell was denied
enrolment by the Dawes commits
sion. The secretary further says
that the legitimate members of the
tribe have received allotments which
do not exceed in value $4,000, and
that Rowell concealed the true value
of the allotment he sought and in
duced congress to believe that the
value was not In excess of the val
ne of the allotments made to the
Indians. The secretary also says:
Not soon after said bill became a
law certain senators and certain
members of the house of represent
atives, incluiing the chairman of the
house committee on Indian affairs, re-
quested the executive branch of
this government, including the pres
ident, not to issue said patent to
said relator until after congress had
reassemlbled and had opportunity to
investigate and reconsider its ac-
ton"
Rowell has demurred to the an.
swer on the ground that no execu.
tive officer can refuse to obey the
provisions of congressional legisla.
ton; that the special act does not
require the patent to be signed by
tho president or by any person des
| ignated by him; that any act of
concealment or misrepresentation
even if made to congress by Rowell
can not be set up or relied upon
as a defense.

TO BOOST
FOR ARDMORE
MANY NEW MEMBERS BEING AD-
DEO TO THE MERClAl
CLUB.

The commercial club Of the city
is getting active and have inaug-
urated a movement to increase its
membership and get more people in
crested in the welfare of the city.
They have been especially active dur
ing the past week and have sent on
many letters to parties, urging them
to become members anil help boost
the city.
President Dyer in speaking of the
increase in numbers said that when
he was chosen as president OF the
club he did not want the honor, but
now that he had accepted he consid-
cred that he owed it to the citi-
zenship of the city and county to
give it his undivided attention and
make Ardmore grow He further
statel that many of the persons
who received the letter had re-
sponded and were now members of
the commercial club.
Our plans" said Mr. Dyer, have
been to call the attention of the
property owners and business men
to the needs of ArdmOre, and to
the necessity of cooperation with
the commercial club the commercial
club is at present largely supported
by the wage-earner but this is a
condition that ought not to exist
the property owner should bear his
burden as well as he is more ma
terially benefited by advancement of
the city's growth" The campaign
has just begun, said Mr. Dyer and we
intend to make our meetings so in
teresting that every member will be
present and bring a friend who will
become member also and go out
and boost for the city h1!e their
little hammers, and whenever a
proposition is offereiI if the thing
loks good get in behind it with a
vim and he first thing you know
there will be smoke stacks going up
all over the city and our popula-
tion will double in three years"
