two years ago, coming from Chelsea,
Mass, but remained only short time,
leaving one night. He had plenty of
money and was said to be a nephew of
the late H. H. Rogers, the oil mag
nate. This report Rogers neither
acknowledged or denied. About eight
months after his desertion. he ap-
peared at a post in Salt Lake city and
gave himself up, claiming that he did
it in order to inherit large sum of
money, which he could not do if he
were fugitive of justice. Instead
of being court martialed and impris-
oned he was sent back to Fort Ethan
Allen with his expenses paid between
the two posts. He soon deserted
again and last May re-appeared and
again gave himself up. At this time
he was sentenced but this has just
been committed by the president. His
fellow prisoners are wondering what
is the mystic key that permits him to
enter and leave the army at will.
Healthful Increase in Vermont.
In view of the fact that the metro

news dispatch appearing recently in

come from Burlingto and alleging
that unofficial information indicated
a loss in Vermont's population during
the past decade which would reduce
our congressional representation to one
number, press representative asked
supervisor of the census L. NJ. Hays
for statement regarding the matter.
He replied by furnishing copy of
the following letter which he had

ANOTHER BLOODY BATTLE.
At Least Seven Injured in Riot at McKees
Rocks Late Yesterday--BattEe Occurred Just

men and May Die--One Foreigner Was
Struck BY Engine Has Disappeared

Pittsburg, Pa, April Elm a battle
last evening between strikers and
township eonstables at MeKee's Rocks
at least seven persons were injured,
three Of whom probably will die. The
dying are:
Constable j. NJ Daniels shot through
abdomen and chest; Joe Biernot, Hun
garian striker, shot several times by
the constables, and an unknown strik-
er who refuses to give his name.
The trio is at the Ohio Valley hospi-
tai, the last named two being under
arrest. In addition to this, one of the
attacking strikers was hit by a train
as he was escaping from the pursuing
mob and knocked over the bank. He
is thought to have fallen into the river
but no traces of him could be found in
the darkness. A farmer named Han
nan was shot through the hand and
two unknown foreigners were carried
away by their friends apparently bad
ly injured, but their names cannot be
learned tonight
The battle occurred just at dusk in
the now notorious bloody angle, where
so much rioting and bloodshed occurr-
ed in the last strike, and where the
Victor bank was looted and two en-
ployes killed some weeks ago There
had been a mass meeting held by the

to talk matters over. One leader was

to disperse.
The speaker shouted something as
he jumped from the perch on which

HEAR ARGUMENTS FOR
LOWERING ASSESSMENT

Guthrie, Okla, April 20.--With Gov
ernor Haskell absent, the state board
of equalization met Tuesday to hear
further arguments of Warren X. Sny-
der, of Oklahoma City, attorney for
the Byllesby interests Plants are con
trolled by the Byllesbys in Oklahoma
City, Muskogee, Enid and El Reno.
Snyder protested against high valua-
tion Of the Oklahoma City property on
the ground that an injustice would be
worked because of low values fixed
on other properties by local assessors.
OF course the board disclaimed re-
sponsibllity for this condition.
Attorney Snyder compared the as
sessment of the Byllesby plant with
values placed on Office buildings in the
city and cited instances where build
ings worth at least S225,O00 were as
sessed at $4,000 He noted one build
ing yielding 20 per cent on basis
of 100000 assessed at 100000 and
he stated that national banks had been
assessed at As per cent of the book
value Of their capital, in cases where
the stock was worth probably 100 per
cent
Last year the Byllesby company re-
ported it's valuation I'm Oklahoma City
at 81 100000. which might be ae-
counted for by the fact that a good
showing was desired to bond the prop
erty. Their report this year, fixes the
valuation at 100000. The state
board took the report as a basis last
year, but It is believed, will raise the
assessment over the company's figures
this year. Snyder did not oppose a
81 900 900 value.

CONTRACTORS DEPEND ON
SALE OF BUILDING WARRANTS

Guthrie, okla, April 1s.-Contracts
seeking public building work in Okla
homa will have to operate on condi-
tions governing the sale Of public
building warrants. The first sale is
for batch of $75O0O0 of the paper,
bearing 6 per cent interest, and
pledged against income from sale Of
public building lands The warrant
sale is to be held by sealed bids at
the end Of April with delivery of the
paper May l. Only for the first sale
does the law fix the amount and
while providing for something over
$2,000,000 in warrants, only limits
sales to one every six months.
The state board of affairs has con
tracts aggregating $524,000 to award.
These include $4,000 for Claremore,
S200,OO for the McAlester penlteh-
tiary, $4,000 for the state training
school located in Garvin county, $780,
600 for the deaf and dumb institute

600 of warrants authorized by the leg
islature and pay for the new build

FIALBLOODS MAY
DECIDE TO VOTE
indians TO Hold Big Rally at Jay on
May I And Decide Their
Political Attitude.

A notable meeting of the fullblood
Cherokee Indians will be held at Jay,
lon the first Sunday in May, or on
May /. At this meeting 1t will in all
u liability be decided with which par
ty the fullbloods will affiliate during
the coming state campaign, and will
mark the entrance of the fullbloods
into state politics.
In other campaigns the Indians have
steadfastly refused TO take part or to
east their votes on election day The
prejudice THAT existed against state
government is believed to have subsid-
ed and the Indians will now come into
full power Of their rights as citizens
Of this great state.
One of the special features of the
meeting at Jay, the newly elected
county seat of Delaware county, viii
be the raising of the "Creager Flag,
which is now In possession Of the In
dams. 1t will be remembered that
when Congressman Creager offered
thls flag to the Knight Hawks, a So
siety of fullbloods, it was refused be-
cause they believed the acceptance
would mean an Endorsement of Crea-
ger The Knight Hawks have never
accepted the flag, but the fullhloods
n general have accepted 1t, but only
Is a flag and free from political signi-
fcance.
The Indians prize this flag highly,
md many Of the leaders have been
old by republican politicians that the
lag was only for republicans and that
he democrats were not under that
ag. An effort is being made by the
epublicans by use of the flag to gain
fs support Of the fullbloods, but these
ans are not as unwary as the re-
@r-blicans think They have had rep
