from his bank at the rate of 10 per
cent per annum, and there were times
when we were oyerdrawn more than
twenty thousand dollars. By reason
of his letting us have this money. we
were enabled to hold our cotton until
it had advanced, and many of us got
as much as 10 cents pound.
We want to state. further, that his
help was not confined to members of
the Farmers Union alone - he fur
nished money to all farmers alike
who wished to hold their cotton, and
who put their cotton in the Farmers
Union Exchange.
AS another evidence of the friendly
interest he has always taken in the
farmers, we can state that on another
instance when the market price of
oats in Ardmore was 80 cents per
bushel. the grain dealers at Ardmore
formed a pool and agreed TO pay only
&c cents per bushel When Lee Cruce
learned of this. he hunted up Mr.. Joe
Taylor, who is a member of the Farm
ers' Union, and told him to go out on
the streets in Ardmore, and to begin
buying oats at the market price of
So cents per bushel, and to give
checks on his bank and that he would
honor the same. Mr.. Taylor did this,
and in less than an hour the combina-
tion of grain buyers was broken. and
the price Of oats went back to SO cents
per bushel.
This can be verified by writing to
MIR. Joe Taylor, at Baum. Okla, and /
by hundreds of farmers who were sell /
ing oats upon the streets in Ardmore
at that time
The farmers of Carter county look !
upon Lee Cruce as their best friend, |
because he has always come to their |
rescue when they could get help from |
no other source If he is elected gov I
ernor every farmer and laboring man .

WHAT LEE CRUCE HAS
DONE FOR THE FARMERS
To the People of Oklahoma:

To the People of Oklahoma
1t is being charged over the state
that Lee Cruce is national banker.
and that he is an enemy to the farmer.
We are his neighbors, have transacted
business with him, and wish to make
the following statement:
When our cotton was going at ruin
not afford TO take. the cotton men
formed a combination that we would
nave been compelled to submit to. ex-
cept for the following facts:
We held convention of the farm
ers and discussed what we should do
to get out of the power of the cotton
spectators. Speeches were made by
different people. and finally it was sug-
gested, Let's go to Lee Cruce; he
has always been our friend, and he
will help US out of our present diff
Guilty We went to him. and eX.
planned our condition to him. He
stated TO us that banks were organ
lied for the purpose OF loaning the
people money, and that he believed it
to be the duty of the banks to loan
money direct to the farmers, rather
than TO loan to cotton spectators.
lie told us that his bank would let us
have all of the money that was neces-
sary to hold our cotton, but that he
preferred that the business be trans
acted through the Farmers Union Ex-
change. This agreement was there
fore made. and he furnished us all of
the money necessary to hold our cot
ion. We borrowed all the money

MINOR
INDIAN CHILDREN
WARRANTS ISSUED BY FEDERAL
AUTHORITY FOR SUPPOSED
GUARDIANS.

Muskogee, Okla, July 2S.-SiX war
rants have been issued by the federal
authorities for the arrest of persons
who are alleged to have sone to Tah-
lequah and drawn money at the Indian
payment, representing that they
were guardians for Indian minors
when they were not No arrests have
yet been made and the names are be-
ing kept secret.
The information was furnished by
Miss Kate Barnard, state commission
er Of charities and corrections, one
of the Indian children, it is said, was
defrauded being in the state orphan
home at Pryor Creek. She acted upon
information from Judge Jackson OF
Muskogee county. There are seventy
more cases under investigation and
Wholesale arrests may follow.
1t is alleged that these persons went
to the payment represented them
selves as the proper guardian to re-
celve the money for Indian children,
secured the warrants, cashed them
and puc the money in their pockets.
The state authorities believe the sys-
TEN of Identification was lax, thereby
permitting payment OF the wrong per-
sons. Attention was directed to the
frauds by certain legal guardians, who
applied for money for their wards aIu
found that it had already been drawn
by some other person no; authorized
to draw it.
Persons connected with the payment
believe that most of these cases will
prove TO be instances where relatives
who were not guardians, but who
thought they were entitled to draw
the money, secured the warrants. One
case of this kind has been found at
Claremore There will be no prosecu-
ton in such cases. The guardians
who have found their wards money al
ready drawn will place the RESPONSE
bility upon the government and de-
mand the money to which they are en-
titled, rather than try to recover from
the persons who have illegally drawn
it.

Prof. William Wiener, of the High
School observation bureau, and all tn
local astronomers are Furnishing up
their most powerful glasses and getting
keyed up their most sensitive ilstru-
ments, in order to get some line on
Halley's comet. through whose tail the
earth is due to pass next Wednesday
night at 1920 o'clock.
As a plain, unvarnished fact. as
tronomers the world over concede that
they don't know what to expect when
this occurs. The nature of comets Is
one of the most obscure chapters in
astronomy. AS a comet visitation Is a
rare event. however. and there have
been great advances made in the manu-
facture of astronomical instruments
since the last comet was here, it is
hoped that with all the instruments
leveled at the skies there will be some
thing to add to comet history after this
HALEY affair has departed.
For more than two weeks the comet
has held the centre of the stage. Comet
parties have been formed, and a new

SENATE BY VOTE
REvOKES MORNING
SESSION DECISION
Regulars Beaten by United
Forces of Democrats and
Insurgents.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-By the ex-
ceptiohally close vote of 20 to 2S, the
Senate today revoked it's decision of
last week to meet hereafter at IL,
o'clock for the purpose of expediting
the consideration of the railroad bill.
Today's action was the result of the
hardness of senators in coming in for
today's session.
When the Senate was called to order
by President Pro Tempore Frye, who
had but just entered the chamber,
there was present but one other SEN
ator, Mr.. Johnston, of Alabama, and he
lost little time in calling attention to
the situation, remarking especially upon
the fact that the movers for IL o'clock
meeting were c~onspicuously absent.
He moved that hereafter the meeting
time be fixed at the usual hour of IL
o'clock.
A call for a quorum had the effect OF
bringing in the number necessary to
do business, Mr.. Johnston's motion was
! carried by the vote of 20 to %. The
motion was supported by Democrats
and opposed by the organization.
The railroad bill was aiken up at
II :30 o'clock and Senator Cummins
promptly presented an amendment
| striking out the Court of Commerce
provisions of the measure.
Mr.. Cummins called attention to the
fact that the merger section of the bill,
| which it had been suggested would
make business for the mmer court.

The Georgia senator said that when a

principal inquiry would be as to his at
titude towards the railroads. He
thought the change to be fraught with
many risks. .
Mr.. Borah criticized the court as I'M
necessary, because of the small volume
of the business to he done. He NJ
lieved in expert boards, but considered
expert courts to be undesirable be-
cause of the influences that would pc

FIRE CAUSES HOUSEHOL DERS
TO FLEE IN NIGHT CLOTHING.
Gas Stove Starts Blaze Among
Curtains; Does Little Damage.

A fire at 81 Union street early today
created considerable excitement. caus-
ing ten occupants to rush from their
beds to the street in their night
clothes.
Mrs. Mary Seitz, who occupies one
half of the house, was awakened by
some one beating on her door and call
ing ''Fire!' The room vas full of
smoke, and. selling her two-months-old
baby in her arms, she rushed to the
street. The occupants of the part of
the house where the fire occurred were
also asleep at the time. Mrs Mary
Decker, who was i'll in bed, rushed out
into the back yard in her night clothes.
! After everyone had reached safety an
alarm was sent in.
1t was found that the only thing on
fire was The front door and curtains.
The fire was caused by a small gasoline
stove III the front room. The stove was
allowed to burn all night and in some
way set fire to the curtains hanging
near.
