From Fridays Daily.
NJ. L. Pierce and son of Miami, were
brought to the county Jail here last
night by Deputy Sheriff Rozelie and
Mike Linnehan, city marshal of
Welch, on charge of disturbing the
peace.
The arrest of Pierce is the result of
a pretty serious row. Yesterday the
elder Pierce, who owns a store at Mi
ami and Welch, and Senator Ellis Har-
lin engaged in a fistic combat, in which
the senator was the victor Pierce
paid a fine for this offense, and
according to his story went to
Miami, where his son joined
him and then went to Alton for a for
mer manager of the Welch store. whom
Pierce says he wanted to straighten
out some accounts. When they arrived
at Welch, Pierce says they were taken
in custody and hustled off here to Jail.
F. NJ. Rozelle, deputy sheriff, tells a
different version of the trouble, agree
ing to the story of Pierce only in re-
gard to the fight with Harlin Rozelle
says the younger Pierce drew gun
on Linnehan and was only prevented
from using it, by having it taken away
from him. The deputy further stated
that Pierce was on a wild rampage yes,
terday.
NJ. L. Pierce is a member of the
local lodge of EIks. and is well ac
quainted here. His attorney, w. H
Kornegay arranged bond for them, and
they were released this afternoon

OFFERS Sl5,OOO,OOO FOR
SEGREGATED COAL LANDS

Oklahoma City, Oct. 7.-Represent-
ing a syndicate of eastern capitalists,
A. e. Perry of Coalgate mailed to V.
NJ Locke principal chief of the Choc-
tav nation, an offer of S15,000000 for
the segregated coal and asphalt lands
of the Choctaw and Chickasaw ma
tions. The proposition includes both
the surface and minerals.
The same offer was made while
Green McCurtain was chief, but when
it reached Washington the secretary of
the interior declined to approve it in
any phase. 1t was the department S
expressed policy at that time to dis
pose of the lands in small areas, a
thing impracticable from the purchas-
er's standpoint. Mr.. Perry says that
the offer will reveal whether the prop
osition can be turned, and that the fig
ure stated is not necessarily all that
might be paid. The Choctaw legisla-
ture now in session will probably take
some action.

The general feeling in the town is

ACTING SECRETARY REFUSED
TO CHANGE LEASE RULINGS

Washington. d. c., Oct 8. II After
listening for two hours yesterday to
representation Of Independent oil pro-
ducers of Oklahoma in support Of their
plea for a modification Of the regula-
tions under which oil lands of the In
dians are leased, Acting Secretary
Adams, of the interior department,
announced his inability to afford re-
lief
There were twenty or more of the
oil producers in attendance and j. c..
Jelly, E. L. Veasey and w H. Johnson
were their speakers. Declaring their
inability to produce at the present
price of so cents a barrel for the crude
product they asked the secretary to
suspend the departments requirement
for the drilling within a year of a we'll
on each lease and to withhold addi-
tional leases in the Usage reservation
with the end in view of curtailing pres
ent production. Much complaint was
made that the fixed price of oil from
Indian lands is much less than half
the price in Pennsylvania and II cents
barrel below the Illinois price and
it is contended pipe lines would pay
for it if the production should be so
restricted as to cause the pipe lines
to hustle" for business. The speak
ers argued that the Indians, as we'll
as the lessees are interested in better
prices and Mr.. Kelly declared that in
the end they would receive more from
an increase than from unrestricted
leasing in accordance with the present
system.
In rendering his decision, the secre
tary said the oil men themselves, could
control the new leases, but that in the
end he did not see his way clear to
modify the present system.

London, Oct. 6.-The Italian flag
floats over Sultania fort at Tripoli,
which is occupied by landing parties.
Port of the fleet is anchored in the har-
Dor and the other warships lie a short
distance from the dismantled fortifica-
tions Few bodies of Turks have been
found among the ruins of the fort and
apparently no great number of Turks
were killed by the bombardment
According to a Constantinople re-
port, not yet confirmed, the Italian
warships yesterday bombarded Beng
hazi and Derna Various rumors con
cerning a naval engagement in Turkish
waters an attack against Mytilene and
the blowing up of the Italian battle
ship Conte Di Caviour at Tripoli have
not bee nconfirmed from any quarter
An interesting report is current from
Constantinople that while Germany
favors the adoption of the Italian ulti
matum as the basis of peace negotia-
tions, Great Britain proposes that Tri-
poll shall become a privileged tribu-
poll shall become a privileged tribu-
tary Turkish vilayet under joint Turk
Italian administration, thus retaining
the suzerainty of the sultan.
A dispatch to the Chronicle from
Constantinople says that cable re-
ceived there from a Turkish source
at Tripoli via Malta states that the
Italian battleship Conte Di Caviour
was blown up by a Turkish mine off
Tripoli and that the crew and troops
aboard the vessel perished.
The dispatch adds: "a heavy can
nonading was heard last night near
Samothrace, an island belonging to
Turkey, in the Aegean sea, about
twenty miles from the coast of Thrace,
where flashes from the Italian search
lights were seen.
"Violent cannonading was also
heard off the coast from Prevesa. The
newly formed national defense com
mittee cabIed King George of England
asking him to intervene"
A news dispatch from Rome yester-
day afternoon says that the delay in
the bombardment of Tripoli was due
not only to the Italian desire to avoid
bloodshed, but also to the fact that the
harbor had been extensively mined
Rome, Oct 5.-(Via Frontier) .-Ad
vices received here state that the most
serious damage and loss of life during
the bombardment Of Tripoli occurred
in the vicinity of the French fort
which dominates the northwest side OF
the city an dat the docks. The new
Spanish fort near the hospital scarcely
resisted and tumbled at the first shells

STATE WARRANTS ILLEGAL

Oklahoma City, Oct. General
revenue warrants aggregating $113,
74807 have been issued since state
hood up to June 80, 1911. without legal
appropriation by the legislature, ac-
cording to a statement prepared by
State Examiner Charles A. Taylor,
from an examination of the books of
the state auditor Although some of
these warrants already have been paid
by the state treasurer, serious ques-
tion is raised as to their legality by
the examiners report
Among the warrants issued, which
are classed as doubtful by the exam
iner and inspector, are $43, ,46119 for
pay of troops; $6,140 for uniforms for
the militia; $19.261O7 election ex-
penses and $124.10 expenses of pres
idential electors. In most instances
these warrants were drawn against al
legged appropriations which did not
stipulate special amount appropriat-
ed
Another class of items included in
the list of doubtful" warrants repre-
sents warrants alleged to be drawn
in excess of appropriations, totaling in
all $5,755.57.

TIN PLATES SHOW
HEAVY DECREASE
Changes in Movements of Tin Plates
in The Foreign Commerce Of the
United States.

Washington, d. c., Oct 6.-Tin plate
imports are making their lowest rec
ord in many years, according 10 a
statement just prepared by the bu-
reau of statistics, department of Com
merce and labor 1t shows that The
total quantity of tin plate imported
into the United States during the
month of August was but 657 1863
pounds, valued at $25,8S9, against g.
120,622 pounds, valued at $274,652 in
August of last year In July, 1911, the
quantity imported was 527,720 pounds.
valued at $21 1,971, against 24,17O,6S7
pounds. valued at $715,5S5 in July,
1910. Thus the total quantity of the
tin plates imported in the months of
July and August, 1911, has been but
! l,1S4,9S3 pounds, valued at $47,860
against S8,291 ,259 pounds. valued at
| $990,237 in the corresponding months
of last year. Meantime the exports of
domestic tin plates have advanced
from about million pounds in July
and August, 191O to 23 million in July
and August, 1911.
This heavy decline in the importa-
tion of tin plates is understood to be
due chiefly to the large advance in
prices of this article in foreign coun-
tries. The average import price of tin
plates in July, 1911, was AZ cents per
pound, against cents per pound in
July of last year, and in August, about
4 cents per pound, against cents per
pound in August a year ago. Most of
the tin plate imported in recent years
cans and other articles used in the ex-
port trade, in which case SO per cent
of the duty was refunded under the
drawback law The marked advance
in price of tin plates abroad has APP
Iparently led to the substitution of do
nestle tin plate for the foreign ar
ticle in the manufacture of large pro-
Iportion of the cans and other articles
Tor use In expectation.
The causes of this change in the
movement of tin plates in our foreign
commerce are stated by an authority
on the subject in response to an in
lquiry by the bureau of statistics, as
follows:
"A number of reasons have contri-
buted to the changes in the statistics
Preferred to- The price of tin plates
advanced very materially aboard, ow-
ing the high price of sheet bars, augu-
; mented by the enormous increase on
= the continent and all over the world
in the demand for tin plate, for can
ming fruits, vegetables, fish, meats, and
oil products The demand for tin plate
as containers for oil-products alone
has increased tremendously, by reason
of the development of oil-producing
properties in Mexico, India, Persia, and
Borneo, to say nothing of the increase
in demand in Russia as a result of
more stable political conditions in that
country. The largely increased con-
Z sumptive demand of the world has
taxed the productions of foreign mills
+ to the utmost. Under these circum-
t stances, American mills have supplied
+ IAN increasing share of the require
: lmehts of American consumers for do
t mestic consumption and export"

GOVERNOR CRUCE DEFENDS
FULL ASSESSMENT CLAUSE

Oklahoma City, Oct. Talk to the
effect that assessing property on the
100 per cent valuation would ultimate
ly hurt the democratic party, Cover
nor Lee Cruce told the county asses
sors in session Friday should carry no
weight with them as public officials,
and he added, if the party could not
live without doing wrong, it should go
out of business. There were between
fifty and sixty recently appointed coun-
ty assessors and their deputies attend
ing in response to the governors let
ter to talk over the work which they
begun January /.
In his speech the governor laid
much stress upon the full valuation
clause of the constitution, and said
that no coward should ever be elected
or appointed to office. The man who
does his duty, he said, would incur
the displeasure of the man who want.
ed to violate the law, but he would
draw to himself the support of the
law abiding citizens
Next year, he hoped, the state board
of equalization, all members of which
were present, would not have the diff
culties of the present year. They are
working to simplify the matter of prop
erty assessment, so it can be accom-
plished on a systematic basis.

NEW ORLEANS IS
SCENE OF TROUBLE
Strikebreskers Fired Upon While En-
Route to Night ouarters-one
Fatally Wounded

New Orleans. La, Oyt. 6.-One man
was shot and probably fatally wounded
late last night when party of Illinois
Central strike breakers were fired up
on while on their way from the COM
pany's freight sheds to their quarters
for the night. A United States deputy
marshal, who was escorting the men,
also was slightly wounded.
The man seriously wounded is
Lackaur, a strike breaker from Brook
lyn, n Y. He was hurried to hos
pital A bullet passed through his
body, penetrating his abdomen. Physi-
clans at the hospital say he has only
a slight chance of recovery.
United States Deputy Marshal Mich
olas Johns, who was taking the men
back to their quarters, was shot in
the left hand.
The imported men, about fifteen in
number, who are employed as clerks,
had been at work all day and until
late last night in the Illinois Central
Sheds. Evidently not expecting any
trouble, Johns was escorting the men
to their lodgings without anw assist
ance. On reaching the corner of Front
and Erato Streets the party was sud
denly attacked by about a dozen men,
who Immediately fired on the strike
breakers In all about twenty shots
were fired.
No arrests were made. When the
police arrived on the scene, little in
formation which might lead to the
identity of the attacking party could
be obtained.
The men who did the shooting fed.
The first real violence here since
the beginning of the strike of the en-
ployes of the Hartman lines occurred
yesterday afternoon, when some strike
breakers imported here to work in the
Algiers shops of the Southern Pacific
railroad were set upon by a mob of 500
strikers and their sympathizers and
several of them badly beaten.
The train on which the strike break
ers had been brought here had just
pulled into Algiers when the trouble
began. Several shots were fired from
the coaches in which the men were
riding, but no one was struck by the
b bullets
Policemen entered the train and
made several arrests.
BY this time a crowd had been at
tracted by the excitement, and wher
the officers attempted to escort theil
prisoners out of the car, the mob surg
&c forward and began striking then
with fists and clubs. The arrival of {
patrol wagon of reserves again restored
order, but not before a half dozen o.
the strike breakers had been severely
beaten. Then of them were landed il
Jail.
Another outbreak occurred yesterda!
afternoon near Lafayette and Mag
nolia streets, where the Illinois Cen
trail strike breakers are quartered
when the company attempted to trans
fer a coach load of the me nto thu
Stuyvesant docks. The coach hat
gone only few blocks when it was at
tackled by a crowd of strikers AM
sympathizers. Every window in tn,
coach was broken by missils of al
descriptions, but no one is believed t.
have been hurt The attempt to trans
fer the men wa sabandoned and the,
were taken back to their quarters.
The railroads. have provided at tn
local shops of the Union Pacific fo
the new mer's sleeping quarters.
