TILLY MAKES SENSATIONAL
CHARGES AGAINST MANAGEM'1

Muskogee, Okla, Dec. 23.-Sensa-
tional charges against the manage
ment of the state school for the blind
at Fort Gibson, have been made by
DR.. w. T. Tilly, president of the state
board of medical examiners, in a state
ment issued to the press.
When Dora, Addie and Clara How
ard, the three little girls who were
brought from the blind school to the
Muskogee hospital here for an oper-
alton upon their eyes, were taken into
the hospital their heads were covered
with lice, according to the doctor, and
their clothes were in a deplorable con-
dition.
IF such a condition of affairs is
allowed to exist at the blind school
at Fort Gibson, it is a disgrace to the
state of Oklahoma" Dr. Tilly declared.
DR.. Tilly last week called the at
tention of Miss Kate Barnard. COM
missioner of correstions and charities
to the way in which the blind school
is being managed and ordered that a
thorough and immediate investigation
be made.
DR.. Tilly, in his statement. also de-
clares that the operation performed
upon Dora, Addie and Clara Howard
at the Muskogee hospital by Dr.. w.
M. Nagle was nothing wonderful and
that such operations are being per-
formed every day DR.. Tilly declares
that the girls were never blind, al
though the girls were never TIL TIL
though their eyesight was affected.
He brands the publishing of the
story, which he declares untrue, as
cheap advertising and the worst form
Of quackery, but adds that he does
not believe that either DIR. Nagle or
DR.. Callahan, who assisted him, had
anything to do with the issuing of the
story. Incidentally he compliments
each of the physicians.

dred acres of unallotted Indian lands

government land sale in a store room

in progress for the past few weeks.
Fifty of the fifty-five tracts were dis
posed of during the morning, the price
ranging from $5.25, as the lowest, and
$176, as the highest In no case did
the land sell at less than it's appraised
value.
Buyers were present from all over
the middle west, though the unallotted
lands in Tulsa county were not nearly
so large as in other counties in which
sales have been held recently. Bidding
was brisk and those in charge of the
sale declared that the sale of the
fifty-five tracts was a good average.
The land was auctioned off by Sher-
man Mooter of Stroud, Okla. He was
assisted by J. L. Granger, w. E. Wird-

FEES WANTED FOR
DEPUTY SHER|FFS
January Session Of the Legislature
VIII BE Asked to Amend Fee And
Salary Law Now In Force.


Salary Law Now In Force.
Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. 23.-The
January session of the legislature will
be asked to pass a bill providing for
fees for deputy sheriffs in all misde.
meanor cases. Such was the decision
of the Oklahoma Sheriffs' association,
which brought its semiannual conven-
tion to a close in this city Tuesday.
Resolutions calling for relief for
deputy sheriffs were drafted by the
retiring legislature. The resolution
states that under present laws govern
ing fees for deputy sheriffs, it is i'm
possible for them TO make liveliho ID
from the Office.
F. C. Carter sheriff of Tillman
county, secretary of the association in
speaking of present laws governing the
fees of deputies said:
Under the present fee system it is
impossible for a sheriff to keep good
competent men as deputies. The Of
flee will not pay enough to support a
man. The present system can mean
but one thing; that is that we sheriffs
must appoint men to take the office
who will wink at law violations, and
thereby get money from bootleggers,
but we cannot employ a competent
man for the emoluments the office now
pays.
"As an instance of this, deputy in
Grady county, under Sheriff M. h.
Lauthan, made only $415 one month
from fees. No man would have the
Office for any such stipend.
1t is the concerted opinion of the
sheriffs present at the convention that
some relief must be had. They say
that IL the deputy is allowed n fee in
all misdemeaRor cases the problem
win be solved. a.<
Under present conditions, deputy
sheriffs do not receive fee unless the
convicted prisoner pays his fine, even
If conviction is secured. Half of
the bootleggers arrested and fined do
not pay their fines, and the deputy
who makes the arrest appears as a
witness and does the work, does not
receive one cent in fees unless the
fine is paid.
The convention was in session Mon.
day and Tuesday, closing Tuesday
noon. The next meeting is in January
when the officers for the ensuing year
will be elected

forenoon he has ever had, and put
questions of law and practice up to
