hcAlester. Okla. Sept. 2s.--The
trial OF Gov. c, N. Haskell OF Okla
hema In the Muskogee town lot cases
came Co a sudden end today when the
government announced that under
tho restrictions laid down by the
court II would be unable to make out
n case against Haskell or any OF his

Gov. Haskell and three other de-
PENDANTS were charged In an indict-
msnt returned by a federal grand
Jury with Conspiracy to defraud the
government" In the disposal of town
ios sites at Muskogee. Okla. 10 was
charged that by tho false registration
OF the names OF persons scattered
over the country they secured title TO
about 500 lots.
The dismissal OF all OF the cases
today was attributed by the govern
ment attorneys to their inability to
ccnnne their proof to the period of
limitation. as fixed by Federal Judge
Marshall. who ruled that the prose-
cution would have to prove conscious
participation by Haskell with the
other defendants during the three
years prior TO the return OF the In

The little birds have created much
interest as they circled in their swift

In their fight or as they drop down
out OF sight into the chimney below
them. II there were only a few OF
them they would not be much notic-

inhabit the chimney are bound TO
excite interest and curiosity OF the
onlookers. who are numbered by the
dozens. Another home of very
large colony Of the swifts is the Chin

corner of Main and Calhoun streets
The little birds come from south
ern climates. reaching here sometime
about the latter part of May OF the
first of June. They at once pick out
a convenient chimney for their home
and start In at once to build their
nests. They may be seen on any
cloudy day or at any time late In the
evening circling over ponds and
marshes looking for gnats, mosqui-
toes and the other small insects

the last time during the year, for
some morning early. about the time

Gals in China express the belief that
an outbreak at any time would not

All through the summer months
there have been mutterings Of dis

viences, due to the rice famine, dy-
nastic difficulties and dissatisfaction
over acts Of the Peking government
as to foreign Investments In China.
Good harvests rnitigated to some ex-

there is still a general feeling of un-

ceived here from men on duty in that
quarter.

readiness is solely precautionary

WOMAN BURNS BABY.
Anderson County Negroes Commits
Fiendish Crime.

Anderson. Sept. Binary Gary, q
negress about 80 years old. last night
placed her two little daughters, aged
three and five years. In a barrel half
hlled with water. rolled the barrel
against her house and set nre to
the house. She then departed to
neighbor's nearly q half mile dis.
tant and told what she had done.
The hre burned rapidly and in a
few minutes tho house was one mass
OF flames Tho five-year-old girl
managed to get out of the barrel, and
started of for assistance. Before as
sistance came, however, the barrel
had became enmassed In flames and
the little three-year-old girl was
burned to a crisp.
This happended ten miles from An
derson. Coroner Beasley went to the
scene today and his jury returned a
verdict that the little girl came to
her death from drowning or burning
or both.
The Gary woman was brought to
the county Jail tonight and when
asked why she committed the deed
she said that she just took notion to
get rid Of her children and decided
to accomplish 1t that way. She said
that she wanted to desert her hus-
band and did not want to leave the
children In his care.
The woman talked as IL she real
lied the seriousness Of her act. Her
mind does not seem to be affected
though she claims that the death OF
her child last March made her &c
nearly crazy.
The woman testified before the cor.
oners' jury and made a complete con-
fession.
