Brennan WILL NOT GO
TO KANSAS FOR TRIAL

Hobart Okla, June 6.-James Bren-
nan, who is accused of having killed a
man in county seat fight at Hugoton,
Kans., 19 years ago, will not have to
return to that state for trial, court
decided in a habeas corpus proceeding
here Monday Brennan was released.
Since leaving Kansas, Brennan has
prospered. He is resident of Gotebo.
OKLA, and is active in politics.
Governor Lee Cruce recently granted
requisition for Brennan's return to
Kansas. Brennan fought the case on
the ground that he had twice presented
himself for trial and that in neither
instance could jury be obtained.
These failures to give him an oppor-
tunity to clear himself made him ex-
empt from the Kansas laws, he aver.

M'GANNON HEIRS FIGHT
STATE INHERITANCE TAX.

Oklahoma City, June THE inheri-
tance tax law passed by the first legl<,
lature is attacked as unconstitutional
in an appeal taken to the supreme
court yesterday by the heirs of j. II.
McGannon and Alice S. McGannon, an
cilliary Administrative of the estate.
McGannon died at Tulsa, November
2S, 1908, and left an estate valued at
S2S6,OOO, which was distributed among
ten heirs. The court fixed the inheri-
tance tax at $3,19767.
In the appeal the heirs allege that
the inheritance tax law is unconstitu-
tional in that it abridges the privileges.
and immunities of citizens of the Unit
ed States, deprives them of property
without due process of law, discrim-
mates unequally in the taxation of diff
ferent kind of property, imposes a tax
IN excess of the constitutional limit
and denies citizens of the equal pro-
lection of the laws. The law is also
alleged to be technically unconstitu-
tlonal in that it embraces more than
one subject, fails to specify the pur-
pose for which the tax is to be levied
and is special legislation.

ATTORNEYS R|LE
DISTRICT JUDGE
Habit of Asking Combinations is to
Be stopped--Judge Davis Warns
All Attorneys.

Judge Davis in the district court is
hot on the trail of the attorneys who
are in the habit Of delaying action, for
one excuse and another, in cases, and
he delivered a pretty severe warning
to the attorneys this morning, telling
them that they had better come pre-
pared for trial on the date on which
the cases are called
Some Of the attorneys have had the
habit of coming into court with a lot
of weak excuses for combinations in
civil actions. This Judge Davis holds
is an imposition on the county and the
jurors, and says he will not tolerate
it.
The arguments in the Tibbets
Braught case were concluded this
morning and taken under advisement
until next Monday, when Judge Davis
will announce his decision.
This afternoon the court is hearing
the suit of Kennedy VS.. Heber Skinner
and Pryor Farley, for damages, grow
ing out of the alleged destruction of
Kennedy's orchard by cattle owned by
the defendants.

PLOT TO ASSASS|NATE
MADERO CAUSES ARRESTS

City of Mexico, June 7.-On the po-
lice department records there is a
grim reminder that Francisco |. Ma
dero was the object of plot to kill.
Yesterday afternoon former chief
detective was arrested on information
that appears to connect him with a
plot whose discovery resulted in the
imprisonment of w. L. Dunn, an Amer
lean at Monterey and Daniel De VIII
Heres, Boer, at Ell Paso.
Evidence concerning the conspiracy
and its authors is in the hands of the
authorities and upon this information
orders for arrest have been issued for
three men, leaders in the government
affairs who, it is believed, will be jail
ed before today.
Determined that no harm or unto
ward incident shall pc recorded when
Madero arrives in the morning or dur
ing his stay in the capital, imperative
orders have been issued for the ap-
prehension of all those whose names
are connected with the conspiracy.
Scores of detectives will move through
the crowds and at no time will an Off
Ger be far from Madero's carriage.
That the conspiracy exists is no
longer doubted, but the police believe
the measures taken will make it al
most impossible to carry into effect
the details of the plot
Madero is due at 10 o'clock. The
routing has been changed so that he
will enter the city over the National
instead of the Central railroad

BALLARD CHARGES WEST
WITH UNDUE INFLUENCE

Oklahoma City, June IA contro-
versy which has assumed white heat
proportions has broken out between
Attorney General Charles J. West and
Insurance Commissioner P. A. Ballard
as a result of a difference of opinion
as to whether the Union Mutual Insur.
ance company of Enid should be GUST
ed from doing business in Oklahoma.
Ballard has addressed sizzling"
letter to West interposing strenuous
objections to letters which Ballard
claims have been written by West to
agents of the insurance company ex.
pressing the opinion that the company
is financially reliable" and that the
act of the recent legislature under
which the insurance commissioner
claims the insurance company cannot
qualify does not apply to the Union
Mutual.
Il desire to inform you,' says Bal.
lard's letter in part that the loose
leaf minute book kept by the Union
Mutual Insurance company of Enid,
shows that the secretary was instruct
ed to make contract for one year
with Attorneys West, Scott and Often.
I take the position that the attorney
general is charged with the duty of
advising state officers and other per-
sons having duty to perform for the
state, but as do not believe the agents
for the Union Mutual Insurance com
pany come within the above classes. II
am unable to understand by what au-
thority you wrote the letters above
referred to-
Ballard eharacterizes the alleged ac-
ton of Attorney General West as I'M
due interference with the duties of
