INVESTORS PROTECTIVE
ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED

Davis, Okla, Dec. 21.-The inves-
tors Protective Association of Okla
homa- organized here last September,
with twenty-one members of the board
of governors, and an advisory commit
tee Of one hundred prominent bank
ers, headed by the Hon. ] D. Lank-
ford, commissioner of banking,
promises to put stop to all forms
of fake" investments and "blue-sky'
schemes. The association proposes to
organize subsidiary associations in
every town and county in Oklahoma,
with view to keeping close watch
on all illegitimate promotions which
seek to filch money from the pockets
of innocent and ignorant investors
At the very outset of the admins
tration of Mr.. Lankford he sent Hon.
w. M. Malone to Kansas to investigate
the system which caused so many of
the shady and. off-colored promotion
schemes to come into this state. He
found that Kansas had a law which
gave the corporation commission and
the banking department full power
and authority to investigate all in
vestment concerns when it appears
they were not giving the public
Square deal"
Eleven bankers and business men
of Davis organized what they call the
"Arbuckle Mining Exchange of Davis
with a view to protect the new zinc
and lead mining field near town. Two
promotions were checked by this or
ganization because of false representa-
tions, etc. This led Mr.. Lankford
and Chairman Love, of the corpora
ton commission to investigate the ex-
change They learned that every
phase of the situation formerly inaug-
urated by the banking department had
been closely adhered to, and arrange
ments were made whereby a state
wide association might be formed
closely following the plan adopted by
the Mininf Exchange OF Davis.
The plans and purpose of t-.a state
wide organization are to lave sub
Isidiary associations over the tate and
by close cooperation put a stop to
"wild-cotting' in every forla of stock
selling, etc, which smacked of blue
sky or grating methods.

MORE COUNTIES
PROTEST LEV|ES
Creek County Treasurer-Mc-
Alester Will Protest.

Sapulpa. OKLA Dec. 21.-Following
the return of the report of the state
board of equalization and the report
Iof the board of county commissioners
of this county acting as a board of
equalization which raises the tax levy
lat least fifty per cent, a petition sign
ed by more than $50 property owners
was today presented to Judge Stan
field of the district court asking that
a temporary restraining order be
granted to prevent County Treasurer
Brady from collecting taxes levied or
from attaching penalties for failure
to pay such leyies.
Several months ago the tax payers
of this city organized tax payers
league which had as part of its pur-
pose the discussion of the tax ques-
tion and work that would bring the tax
levy somewhat lower.
In some cases the levy has had the
effect of raising local taxes in this city
full fifty per cent besides making de-
mands of many property owners which
were almost confiscatory.
Besides setting out the unjust raise
which has been made the petition re-
cites that the levy is also excessive
for reasons that it produces an as
|sessed valuation of several thousand
dollars more than is needed for gov
|ernmental administration, hence it is
Illegal in this particular also.
Protests From McAlester.
McAlester, Okla, Dec. 21.-In re-
|sponse to call, mass meeting of
the citizens of McAlester convened in
the superior court room this afternoon
for the purpose of resisting the pay
ment of the fifty per cent increase in
taxes imposed by the state board. A
committee composed of Gus A. Gill.
Melvin Cornish and DR.. Chapman was
appointed to- consult the best legal
talent obtainable, to ascertain if the
action of the state board can be set
aside. Suit will be brought in the
court to restrain the county treasurer
from collecting the fifty per cent in
crease. Lieutenant Governor J. J. Nc
Alester. and large number Of prom
inent citizens of the city were in at
tendance at the meeting.

K|CKAPOO INDIANS
WILL GET RENT
Federal Government Allows Purchas.
ers to Recover Invested Money
Less Rentals Collected.

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 2l-It is de-
clared that the final settlement in the
federal government has really done
the handsome thing by the Oklaho-
mans who purchased these lands prior
TO the time that court decision was
rendered that all sales must be ap-
proved by the interior department, and
who have since been prosecuted by
the government. The conditions be
came more fully known today through
the approval by the departments at
Washington of a settlement, pending
for many months, with Cash Cade of
Shawnee, republican national commit
teeman.
-Four civil cases were pending in the
federal court against Cade to compel
him to turn back his Kickapoo lands
to the allotteees. Cade had about
$4,000 invested in the lands. He gets
this money back, together with per
cent interest, but is charged with all
rentals he has received from his Indian
land holding during the last five years.
1t one case wherein the land was held
jointly with another defendant, Cade
must pay to the Indian owner about
$400 additional. 1t develops now that
the government in settling with w. T..
Chapman and his associates that they
were given credit by the government
for all the money that the Indians had
actually received from them, but in
each instance the land holder was
charged with the rents received, and
in a majority of cases, it is understood,
the five years rentals amounted to
more than the money invested in the
lands.
The men who purchased Indian
lands, however lose all the moneys
they have been out for expenses, en-

1 per cent.
The state having the largest per-
centage of foreign-born white popula-
ton is Rhode Island with S2S per cent,
followed by Massachusetts,. SlS per
cent followed by Massachusetts, S1.2
per cent; New York. 299 per cent;
Connecticut, 29.5 per cent; and then

Rapid Increase of Foreign-5orn Whites
Comparing the percentages of in
crease of the foreign-born whites with
that of the native whites whether of
native or foreign parentage) from 1900
to 1910 in the several divisions. it ap-
pears that in four of the six divisions
of the north and west the foreign
born whites increased more rapidly
than the native whites, the difference
being especially conspicuous in the
middle Atlantic division, where the
foreign-born increased 46.2 per cent
and the native 19 per cent. There has
been much less immigration into the
west north central division during the
past decade than during the earlier
decades, and the foreign-born whites
in that division increased only 5.3 per
cent from 1900 to 1910, as compared
with AL per cent for the native white.
In the mountain division also the for
eign-borne white increased somewhat
less rapidly than the native white, al
though their percentage of increase
was ins itself large SIG. In the east
and west south central divisions the
native whites increased more rapidly
than the foreign-born whites, but the
opposite was true in the south Atlantic
division, where, however. the foreign
born whites are still very small pro-
portion of the population.
BY reason of the aforementioned
differences in the percentage of in
crease as between the foreign-born
white and the native white, the for
eign-born white constituted a larger
percentage of the total population in
1910 than in 1900 in the case of the
Nau Enoland MiddIa Atlantic cast
north central, South Atlantic, and Pa
cific divisions, while in the other four
divisions the percentage was either
lower in 1910 than in 1900 or was the
same in both years.
The native whites of foreign paren-
tage constitute large proportion of
the total population in those sections
where the foreign-born whites are mum
erous. In New England they form 81 1.3
per cent of the total population. In
each of the other northern divisions,
and also in the Pacific division, they
constitute more than one-fourth of the
total population. In the mountain di-
vision they are 23.4 per cent of the
aggregate. In the New England and
middle Atlantic division the natives
whites of foreign parentage formed
larger, in all the other divisions a
smaller, percentage of the total popu-
lation in 1910 than in 19O0ssr

Effect of immigration.

On account of the large immigration
during the past decade, which has
mainly gone to the northern and west
ern states. particular interest attaches
to the per centages which the foreign
born population constitute of the total
population in those sections of the
countdy. The proportion is the larg-
est in New England, where the for
eign-born white represents 27.7 per
cent of the total population for 1910.
The middle Atlantic division follows
next with 25 per cent of its population
foreign-born white; then the Pacific
division with 2O.6 per cent; the east
north central division with 16.S per
cent, and the mountain division with
1915 per cent. In none of the three
southern divisions did the foreign-born
whites constitute more than per cent
of the population, and in the east south

Preliminary Statistics Issued BY the
Census bureau.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 21-A pre-
liminary statement giving for each
state and territory of continental
United States the distribution of the
population according to its elements OF
race, naticity, and parentage, as shown
by the returns of the thirteenth de.
cennial census, taken as of April 10,
1910, was issued today by Director
Durand, of the bureau Of the census
department of commerce and labor
The figures for continental United
States as 4 whole, with considerable
discussion have previously been made
public. The present statement gives
the figures in detail for each state and
territory as matter of general in.
formation, in advance of their appear
ance in bulletin or report form. The
statistics were prepared under the SUI
peryision of Mr.. William C. Hunt, chief
statistician for population in the bu-
reau of the census, and are subject to
later revision.
In New England And Middle Atlantic
States.
The foreign element is proportion
ally greatest in the New York and
middle atlantic divisions, white per-
sons of foreign birth and those of
foreign parentage but native birth to-
gether constituting in each division
one-half or more of the total popula-
ton. These two elements also consti-
tute between 40 and so per cent of the
total population of each of the two
north central divisions and of the
mountain and Pacific divisions, re-
spectiyely. The three southern divi-
sions, on the other hand, contain only
comparatively small proportion of
white persons either of foreign birth
or of foreign parentage, the popula-
tion of these sections of the country
having been affected but little by for
eign immigration and. therefore, con-
sisting mainly of native white persons
of native parentage and negroes.
OF the individual states there are
13 in which the foreign-born whites
and the native whites of foreign paren-
tage together constituted more than
: half of the total population in 1910,
namely: Minnesota, 71.5 per cent;
North Dakota, 70.6; Rhode Island,
6S.7; Wisconsin, 66S; Massachusetts,,
66; Connecticut, 631; New York, 62.9;
New Jersey, 566; Michigan, 500;
South Dakota, 54.4; Montana, 52.S;
Utah. 52.2: and Illinois, 51.9.
On the other hand there are 20
states. in which more than one-half the
total population is native white of ma
tive parentage; and there are II states
in which more than two-thirds of the
total population is of this class. The
latter are the following: West Vir-
ginia, S5.3 per cent native white of ma
tive parents; Kentucky, S1.4; Okla

 After securing $111 and some jew alry the bandit leaped from the train. When Special Agent McCafferty of Rio Grande. who was on the train was informed that the bandit was at work in the rear coach. he started back and reached the black platform just in time to see the hold-up man jump from the train and run.
 McCafferty followed and opened fire, Buckley. the bandit. returning it. Buckley was shot through the wrist and when his revolver dropped from his hand he surrendered. All the money and valuables were recovered. Buckley was well dressed and about twenty-five years old
