TO PRESS HASKELL TRIAL
President and Attorney General
Decide to Act Next Month.

Washington, May 1.-THE indictments
against Governor c \. Haskell sf Okla
laonla- IN the so-called town lot Indian land
"a ses will be pressed by the Department
of Justice. according TO d decision reached
BIZ Attorney General Wickersham to-day,
after a conference with President Taft. 1t
is the plan of the department now To have
a Jury pass on the matter early in June.
Senators Owen and Gore and several Of
the congressman from Oklahoma recently
requested the President 10 select some dis
interested third person Of unquestioned
standing in the country 20 investigate the
cases IN Oklahoma from an entirely i'm
partial standpoint and determine whether
or not there WAS sufficient ground TO con-
.inue the prosecutions.
The Senators and Representatives eX-
pressed no opinion 10 the President as to
.ne guilt or innocence OF the accused Gov
eFnoF- Il was simply suggested that, as the
prosecution had been linked in the minds
of many persons with the political turmoil
al tive wears ago. there should be an in
vestieation.
ATTORNEY General Wickersham has taken
the ground that as the prosecutions We're
heaaln under a former administration the
only thing 10 do was to have a jury of
Okla hema citizens pass on q typical case
IT the earliest possible moment The de-
a. iva bringing the eases TO trial has been
another source Of complaint The prose-
cution will be continued under 5. r. Rush,
special assistant 10 the Attorney General.

therefrom L find that not only are the in

CLAWS has been guilty OF a perversion and
suppression of truth amounting to actual
Misrepresentation"
AIR. Taft in his letter authorizes Ballinger
TO dismiss CLAWS for filing ''distngenu-
Gus statement unjustly impeaching the of

LAWYER calls his statement "disingenuous
and colored, seeking through Innuendo and
inference to create q suspicion of improper
conduct Oh the part of his superiors, by
recital Of isolated circumstances, disas-
Spciated from the surrounding facts, and
quotations and detached letters and tele-
grams, without reference to the communi-
cations to which they were replies or TO re-
sponses ELECTED to them.
The Lawler document is very much longer
than the entire Taft letter and deals ex-
clusivey with the Alaskan coal claims,
while only about half of the Taft letter
refers 10 the CLAWS charges, the remainder
relating to the forestry controversy, to
which LAWYER hardly refers at all. The
LAWYER draft totals upward of 5000 words;
that of the President makes about $500.

that in view CT what he had heard of

LOCAL FISHERMEN
READY FOR SPORT
A Number Have Already Re-
sponded to Call of the A.
Turing Streams.
SEASON A PROMISING ONE
STREAMS APPEAR TO BE WELL
STOCKED AND THERE ARE AP.
PARENTLY MORE BASS THAN
GENERALLY FOUND,

Local followers of the rod and reel
are busy these nice days asserting
their fishing tackle and getting their
minnow buckets in shape for the ap-
preaching fishing season. A number
of them have already responded to the
call of the wild and the banks of the
streams of Wayne county during the
past few days have been lined with
fishermen, coaxing the members of the
finny tribe with a tempting array of
choice delicaciees.
1t is said that the streams are I'M
usually we'll stocked with fish, this
year, especially those in the north and
west part of the county. The variet-
les of fish are about the same but it
is said that there are more bass this
season than usual and this announce
ment will be hailed with joy by lovers
of the sport. But the willy ones have
not shown any ravages of hunger thus
far it is claimed. and the catches
have been small.
Fish stories are beginning to be in
order again and invariably the one
| that got away" remains the biggest
still. Early reports of mammoth
catches are more Or less skeptically
received and are to be expected just
at this time until the novelty of the
matter wears away.

ROADS IN CHINA.
They Are Narrow and Crooked and
Edged With bitches.


Edged With bitches.
The Chinese road is private prop
erty. strip taken from somebody's
land. This is done much against the
will of the owner, since he not only
loses the use Of it, but also still has to
pay taxes on it.
One consequence is that it is wide
enough for only one vehicle. and carts
can pass one another only by trespass-
ing on the cultivated land. To prevent
this the farmers dig deep bitches by
the roadside. AS the surface wears
away and the dust blows off it gradu.
ally grows lower. and after awhile ii
becomes a drain for the surrounding
fields. A current forms in the rainy
season, which still further hollows i,
out. and thus has arisen the provert
that a road a thousand years old be
comes a river.
Those whose lands are used for
roads naturally prefer to have the
roads run along the edge Of theil
farms instead Of cutting across them
and this accounts for the fact thai
Chinese roads are often so crooked
that one may have to go considerable
distance to reach place that is in re
atty but few miles away. This al
ways interests the stranger.

SwitzerIand's Method Of Preparing For
Rapid Mobilization.
In Switzerland the state is part own
er Of horses used by reserves. 1t pur-
chases a remount at three and a half
years old, and the soldier pays half
the cost of the horse to the govern
ment. together with the difference be-
tween it's cost and the price that the
horse fetcheS at auction. for all horses
are sold by auction to the men.
After every year of training the gov
eminent refunds One-tenth of the orig
inal half cost to the man, and at the
end of ten years the horse becomes
the absolute property Of the soldier.
In this manner the soldier Is not only
always well mounted. but as he keeps
his horse with him at his home his
mobilization problem is of the simplest
nature.
The average price Of these Swiss
troop horses is about f45. says Baily's
Magazine, and as most Of these horses
are imported from Ireland and north
Germany their price is considerably
higher than it would be in Great Brit
ain. Thus the state secures the serv-
ices of a horse for an annual outlay
of about "a los. But there are certain
other expenses which must be includ-
ed in this estimate, such as the cost of
the establishment for remount depots,
etc, which raises the total cost OF
horses for the Swiss government to
about IS lbs. year.
