HEB FEET GROWING LARGER
WOman Now Paying the Penalty for
Breaking Into Mans
Domain.

Shi
Listeni
Be calm, madami
It's about your feet!
They are growing biggeri
Almost as these lines growl
Fact Several shoe men said So, and
they ought to know II any one does. They
didn't mince words about telling 1t, either
Their explanation is even more horrible
than the fact itself. They say it is because
women are doing more walking now than
they ever did since they were in bondage
and had to work in the fields and carry
large loads of garden vegetables to mar
ket on their heads and return with the
money so that their agricultural husbands
could invest 1t in corn and rye.
This doesn't mean, according to the shoe
men. that the feet of New York women
only are growing larger. 1t applies to
women everywhere. So it would appear
that at last womanikind is now paying the
penalty of getting into business just like
a man, instead of staying home to teach
the baby to say papa or dress the table
prettiIy for dinner. She goes out and
tramps around the city for the greater part
Of the day trying to sell something or sits
a
about, and in either case her feet arc
bound to grow larger, not only In length,
but in width also, say the shoe men.
"woman's invasion of the commercial
world" said one of these qualified experts,
Undoubtedly resulted in her feet growing
larger. That is the generally accepted ex-
PLANTATION of the fact among shoe men. II
is entirely logical. 1t is not SO long age
that women went about with mincing step
and walked as If on air. Their feet were
small and pretty when in a good shoe.
Things are different now. Listen to
some of the women walk along the street
Their heels hit the ground solidly, like
those of man, and If you did not look
you could not tell whether the footballs
were those Of a man or a woman. Having
gone into business on large scale, women
must have business shoes. The dainty
things they used to wear wouldn't last a
week now. The day of the Ia or lAA
shoe is gone. Lots of women could wear
them a few years ago. Some can do II
yet, but they are comparatively few.
You may remember there was a time
when every woman's she was honestly
marked with its size. That is not so Ions
ago Then womens feet began to get
larger. A woman who used TO wear No
shoe wouldn't take No. 3. no matter
how comfortably 1t might fit. That drove
us 10 marking the shoes with secret
code. We had to do that to sell shoe
that fitted and not the size that wal
wanted. New York Herald.

LAND OPENING POSTPONED.
Osaee Oil Leases Withheld Until the
Meeting Of Council.

Washington, Jan. 30-At the hear
ing Of Oklahoma oil men before the
interior department today it was de-
termined that Usage Indian lands,
not now covered by the Foster
blanket lease will not be leased for
oil purposes until after the Usage
nation council meets next June. For
this reason no rules and regulations
Or legislation al this session of the
congress, looking toward throwing
open over hat million acres OF
Oasge land for oil and gas eXp,oita-
lion, were drafted today.
\ delegation of Osages, composed
of Principal Chief Al Brown. Harry
Kopay Tom Mosier and Eaves Tall
chief who favor the leasing of Usage
lands, not otherwise covered by
Foster oil lease, and the delegation
headed by John Palmer and Wesley
Dial and their attorneys, practically
agreed with oil operators in attend
ance a. the hearing. that nothing
should be done in regard to leasing
surplus Usage lands for oil purposes
until after the meeting of the In
dian council in June 1t is probable
that the interior department will
prepare new rules and regulations
next fall permitting the leasing Of
Usage lands for oil and gas pur-
poses. 1t was apparently the consen-
sus of opinion among the oil produc-
ers and the reports of the Texas
and Gulf Pipe Line Companies that
overproduction and a consequent fall
ing off in the price of oil would un-
questionably result from the immed-
ate opening of the Usage country
for oil developments.
This opinion was shared in by
all the producers. Il. r. Perry of
Tulsa questioned the advisability of
opening up the Usage country at
this time, from the Independent pro-
ducers standpoint. The hearing re-
solved itself into general discus
sion as to the character of the oil
and gas rules and regulations to be
promulgated by the interior depart
ment. There will be further discus
sion of the subject tomorrow

KING SUES FOR LIBEL.
Quieting Of An Old Scandal the Pur'
pose of Suit

London, Jan. 30.-George V. king
of England, has taken an unprece-
dented course to protect his reputa-
tion. His legal advisers have institut-
ed suit for libel because of the pub
lication of a story, freely circulated
in England for years. that the king.
while Prince of Wales. morganatic-
ally married a daughter of an ad-
miral at Malta.
Although the story has been re-
peated hundreds of times it was
only recently given wide publicity.
This was through it's publication in
the Liberator, newspaper issued
in Paris. The article was written
by Edward F. Mylius, the London
representative of the Liberator, and
the libel suit is directed against him.
The kings object in bringing the
suit is declared to be a desire to
have all the evidence in the matter
brought out and to settle for all
time the scandal which has greatly
annoyed him and his queen.
According to the story which has
been gossiped about and was pub
lished by the Liberator. George

HASKELL-LOOER
SUIT IS NOW ON
JUDGE COTTERAL DENIES MO-
TION OF ATTORNEYS FOR Ex-
GOVERNOR-NEW WARRANT.

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 30.-Judge
John H. Cotteral of the United States
circuit court Monday denied the mo-
tion of attorneys for Ex-Governor
C. n. Haskell, that the statute of linn
itation had run out on the Judgment
secured against him in the New York
county supreme court in February,
1900, for $4,000 and interest, an
amount still alleged due by Haskell,
to the Illinois Steel Co.
Haskell claimed that under the
New York law the judgment should
have been renewed every five years.
Immediately when the case went to
trial, jury being waived, Cornelius
S. Loder, the plaintiff, who secured
the Judgment against Haskell, was
on the stand and gave an entire his
tory of the case. The attorneys sub
mitted their arguments and it is now
pending before Judge Cotteral for de-
csion.
Attorneys for Haskell asked permis-
sion to present further authorities
and arguments tomorrow morning in
an attempt to show that the statute
of limitation, pleaded by Haskell,
should be sustained by the court.
During the hearing of the case Or
vile T. Smith, one Of HaskelPs at
torneys, arrived from Oklahoma City
with papers which he requested Sher-
if Bart Mruhpy to serve on Loder.
The latter was called from the court
room and the summons was handed
him in the federal court building.
It is in the case of Walter R. Eaton
of Muskogee. who was Haskell's bust
ness manager, VS.. the Illinois Steel
company, and names Loder and Has
kell as garnishee defendants, sum-
moning them to appear in the district
court at Oklahoma City on March 90
to show whether or not they have
in their possession property of any
kind belonging to the Illinois Steel
company.
Haskell has always contended that
the paper held by Loder and on which
he secured the judgment of $4,000
in reality still belongs to the steel
company and that Loder's purchase
of it was simply a blind.

and made her his morganatic wife.
This marriage was not recognized by
the royal family, and George was
forced to put his wife aside. When
the time came for him to marry
the girl who is now queen of Eng
land the fact that there had been
"a previous marriage was ignored.
The Liberator publishes an arti-
Gle in regard to the kings suit
and says that the defense of Mylius
will be that the story is a true one.
The paper also says that the king
will be summoned to appear as
a witness in the case. The consti-
tutional law, however, makes it i'm
possible for the king to give evidence
in his own court, even if he desired
to do so.
The suit against Mylius follows
his arrest some weeks ago. Mylius
was arrested in a vacation OF the
court, arraigned before the vaca-
ton judge in chambers and commit
ted to Jail for trial. Mylius secured
a writ of habeas corpus, and sue
ceeded in getting into court, where
an application for bail was made.
The judge granted the application,
but fixed the amount at the extra
ordinary amount of 100000. Mylius
was unable to furnish this amount
and remains in Jail.

TO FIGHT TAX EXEMPTION,
Indian Land Controversy May Go to
Highest Court of Land.

Highest Court of Land.
That the state of Oklahoma intends
to fight against the exemption of In
dians from taxation under the treaty
with the United States government,
and will carry the legal battle to the
highest courts in the land, was doubly
manifest Monday in the filing in the
supreme court of second big Indian
land tax case involving thousands of
dollars and more than 200 Cherokee
Indians.
The case filed Monday is in the
name of F. ]. Weilep, plaintiff in er-
ror, county treasurer of Ottawa coun-
ty. against Frank G. Adrian and other
Cherokee indians. 1t is an appeal
from the district court of Ottawa,
which upheld the Indians in refusing
to pay taxes on the 110-acre home.
stead allotments.
For second time the famous treaty
made with the Indians by the govern
ment is questioned. Under the pro.
visions of this agreement, the In
dians were to give up certain tribal
rights for the 110-acre homesteads,
which were to be exempt from taxa
tion for a period of twenty-one years.
When statehood came in 1907, the
state and county treasurers began ac-
tions to collect the taxes, and prac-
tically every court in the state has
at one time or aonther passed upon
the argument advanced by both sides
In the present case the taxes speci-
fed are those of the year 1909. Vern
E. Thompson of Vinita will represent
the plaintiff in error and Parker,
Rider and Brown, the defendants.
The case of Carl Cloyd against the
state of Oklahoma was filed in the
criminal court of appeals Monday af-
ternoon. It is an appeal from the rul-
ing of the district court of Mcintosh
county which on February Z, 1910,
found Cloyd guilyt of the killing of
Tom Pemberton. In the petition of
the appeal Cloyd asks for \ new trial.
