WrIt Of Mandamus staxed.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 29.-The SUI
preme court has allowed the superse-
deas applied for by the attorney gen
eral suspending during appeal the OPP
GRAFTON of the mandamus granted by
the district court of Oklahoma county
compelling the board of equalization to
make levy sufficient to take up about
s3,OOO,OOO of deficiency general rev.
enue warrants covering expenses of
the fiscal year 1910.
The mandamus was asked and grant
ed in the lower court by several banks
which are holding 1910 warrants with
no immediate prospects of procuring
the cash upon them unless they are
refeunded or the courts order a levy
made. If the supreme court sustains
the board the plan already agreed up
on by the board for refunding the in.
debtedness will be carried out.

Good Bout at Grand TONIGHT.

Al Allegar, who is to meet Bart Cor
don in the squared circle at the Grand
Theatre tonight, arrived in the city
last night direct from his training
quarters at Springfield, Mo, and is
looking fine and fit.
Allegar is known to most of the fight
fans of Vinita and has been kept pretty
busy all day shaking hands with old
friends and meeting new ones. Much
interest is manifest in the bout tonight
be+ween Allegar and Gordon and a
record breaking crowd is expected to
witness the go between these two game
and clever boxers. Opinion is pretty
evenly divided as to which will be re-
turned the victor.
The preliminaries will start prompt
ly at $50 o'clock.

MAXIMUM RATE ON
BANK DEPOSITS
Two Per Cent Can Be Paid on Daily
Balances And Not More Than Four
Per Cent on Time Deposits.

Oklahoma City. Nov. 29.-The max
imum amount of interest which state
banks in Oklahoma will be allowed to
pay on all classes Of deposits has been
fixed by State Banking Commissioner
J. d. Lankford in an order issued Tues
day, becoming effective December /.
on bank balances maximum rate
of 2 per cent per annum is allowed
on time deposits for not less than six
months the interest rate must not ex-
ceed per cent per annum; on time
deposits not less than ninety days, the
rate must not be more than per cent
per annum, and on saving accounts,
when kept in separate ledger and
pass book for this purpose not to ex-
ceed per cent per annum. The ruling
further states:
Banks will. not be permitted to pay
interest on checking accounts of in
diyiduals, firms or corporations, pro-
vided, however, this does not include
city county, state or government de-
posits, or other public funds. State
banks will be permitted to pay not ex-
ceeding per cent on the following, as
the statute provides:
"'No treasurer OF any city, town. or
village, treasurersof the board of edu-
cation of any city. township treasurer
nor school district treasurer in this
state shall deposit any Of the money
belonging to such city. town, village,
the board of education of this city,
township treasurer or school district
treasurer in any bank which shall not
pay for such money not less than Q
per cent interest on the average daily
balances of all such money in said
bank, provided such interest shall be-
come part of the funds on deposit.
This ruling applies to all state
banks, and national banks paying a
higher rate OF interest than herein
specified will not be approved as re-
serve agents for Oklahoma state
banks. All existing certificates bear
ling a greater rate Of interest may be
carried until maturity. after which
Ithey must either be paid or renewed
at a rate not to exceed the above
ANY state bank official, director
[stockholders or agent, violating the
above ruling, either directly or indi-
rectiy. will subject themselves to such
penalty as the law provides"

SUSTA|NS NEW FEE
AND SALARY SYSTEM
Decision of Court Probably viii Result
in Bringing of Suits Against
District Clerks.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 29.-That the
fee and salary act passed by the special
session of 1910 and approved March
19, 1910, which fixed the salaries of
county officers, became effective ninety
days after the adjournment of the ses-
sion, was the holding of the state SUI
preme court in an opinion yesterday
by Justice R. L. Williams.
The decision affects all district
clerks in the state, most of whom,
through an agreement of their organiz-
alton, took the position that the emolu-
ments allowed them under territorial
laws governed the Office until January
9, 1911, when the new officers took their
seats
The case decided yesterday is that
of Edward E. Reardon, county attorney
of Oklahoma county, against Hathaway
Harper clerk of the district court of
that county in which it was sought to
compel him by mandamus to file a re-
port with the county commissioners of
the fees collected by him for August,
1910. The lower court refused the
writ. The county attorney appealed.
The decision of the lower court in the
case is reversed and remanded with
instructions that the writ of manda-
mus be issued requiring Harper to
make the report.
The court holds that it has been set
tied that the act of the territorial leg
islature which teempted to fix the fees
and compensation of clerks of the dis.
trict court, was void and that It was
settled in the case of Bohart ct al VS.
Anderson, that section thirteen of the
organic act of the territory and the
federal fee and salary act became in
applicable upon the admission of the
state and that since there was no law
fixing the compensation of these Off
GERS prior to the passage of the 1910
act, that act became effective as to
these officers ninety days after the ad
journment of the legislature
The decision of the court is likely tc
result in the bringing of large mum
ber of suits against district clerks tc
recover fees taken. In the case OF
Harper, it is alleged. the decision will
compel him to turn over to Oklahoma
county several thousand dollars as his
compensation was reduced by the 1910
act.

TRUSTS TOPIC OF
TAFT'S MESSAGE
President Will Devote Annual Message
to One Subjeet-Details Not
Made Public.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 29.-Presi-
dent Taft's third annual message,
which will go to congress Tuesday, will
be devoted to the trust question" ;"
The message contains from 5000 to
5000 words and with the exception of
a few references in general way to
other related subjects will deal with
the question of industrial combna-
tions alone.
Although details of the message were
not made public, 1t was understood that
federal Incorporation. as outlined by
Mr.. Taft two years ago, will be sug-
gested again as a method for solution
of the problem. The president has in
dicoted his aversion to the Sherman
antitrust act, and from his talks with
callers last night the inference was
drawn that there is no suggestion Of
such amendment in the message.
I've put all my eggs in one basket, =
the president said to callers last night.
In sending an annual message to con-
gress devoted to one subject alone, the
president is establishing a precedent.
1t is usual for the chief executive to
point the need of all sorts of general
legislation and to give in brief form
the history of the past year so far as
the government is concerned This
would do away with messages later on
when Mr.. Taft will send special mes
sages to congress dealing with i'm
portant subjects.
The president expects to discuss the
tariff in separate message to be writ
ten after December IL. The tariff
board, it was said last night, will not
be able to make its report on the wool
and cotton schedules until then and
the message will not be undertaken
until that report is ready.
Canservations, including the develop
ment of Alaska, either will be dealt
with in separate message or in mes
sages. In addition to these sugges
tions to congress, Mi. Taft prepares tc
send in reports Of the postal commits
sion, the railway securities commits
sion and the economy and efficiency
commission and others before the us
ual holiday adjournment.
The trust message was finally re
yised by the cabinet at a fve-hour ses
sion Tues04y The meeting was brok
EN- into t'%ice once that the presiden
might go TO the executive mansion t
receive the Russian ambassador
George Bakhmelieff, and later to ca
a bite of luncheon, prepared in tn,
White House kitchen. Neither inter
ruption was long, and all through tn,
afternoon the cabinet discussed thu
various subjects.

MEADOW CROPS
PROVE LARGE RESOURCE

ing 6,137 acres. They, therefore, ay-
erage about six-sevenths of an acre in
size and constitute what is normally
an abundant fresh water supply for the
grazing cattle.
Finally these native meadows con-
stitute the real foundation of Oklaho-
mas greatest industry, namely, the
livestock industry It is said to be
very much to the credit of the farmers
of the state that they have thus utilized
their waste land brakes TO build ~ a
source of revenue that is greater than
the combined revenues derived from
ali the wheat, corn and cotton that are
grown in the state. 1t would prove
expensive and Improbable to engage
even moderately in the production of
livestock with the farmer depending
entirely upon the products of the eul-
Itivated portion of the farm to fatten
his cattle.
On the other hand, the advancing
tides of commerce and agriculture have
driven out the herder of the old days,
who was in practically free possession
| of miles of very fine range. The pre-
valent Oklahoma method is a combina-
| tion of the farm-ranch and preserves
the intrinsic merits of the old order, at
the same time releasing all the tillable
land of the state to agricultural pur-
poses. Every farm in Oklahoma has
more or less brake land and this is
fenced off into pasture for range pur-
poses, the balance of the land being
apportioned to the cultivation of culti-
waited crops. The farmer then accumu-
lates as many head of livestock as his
range can accommodate and from a
month to six weeks before he places
| them on the market he usually supple
ments the native range feed with pea
nut hay, cowpeas, sorghum or some
other crop raised in the fields. This
renders the Oklahoma cattle among the
fattest and choicest received by the
various packing institutions, as well as
among the most economically rendered

Oklahoma's valuation of native
meadow products for last year is an
eye-opener in the way of a revelation
of the states natural resources for it
is not every $l,7S9,5O1 valuation of
saleable farm stuff that can be gotten
out with no investment of labor up
until the time for harvesting. Perhaps
this item represents greater amount
u genuine profit than any other agri-
cultural commodity, both because it re-
quires but about so per cent Of the
capital and labor investment required
to place any other crop upon the mar
ket and for the reason that the land
investment ties up but about one-half
the capital which land producing other
crops represents.
There are. all told, 433,956 acres of
native meadow in the state, and this
body of natural grazing ground is one
of the largest and finest types of that
sort of property values in the country.
The grasses are largely nutritive and
for a portion of the year become the
grazing grounds of thousands of Texas
cattle, besides taking care of the Ok
lahoma herds. Last years production
|of 420,773 tons of hay, representing a
total valuation of $1,7S3,501, is by no
means an unusual occurrence, show
ing but a normal increase over the fig
ures for the two preceding years. The
|nutritive qualities contained in these
grasses are so prominent that every
year thousands of lattle are prepared
for the market by range feed alone.
A splendid example of what the native
meadows can accomplish by this au-
tumn's cattle receipts at the local pack
leries.
These meadows are composed almost
entirely of class of Ian dacreage that
lcould ont be otherwise utilized, being
what is commonly known as brakes OF
other uneven spaces inaccessible to
the hoe and plow In listing values on
other commodities one ca nthinl1 OF
iother crops that could have been rails
ed on the same soil which would have
brought an equal saleable valuation as
the ones which were raised. but not Sc
with the native meadow group--it rep
resents a source of wealth for which
nothing could be substituted and con
stitutes a cIean-cut source of origina
revenue.
The native meadow hay is as nutri
| tious in the baled form as it is in the
form of forage grasses growing ovel
the wales of the brake lands. 1t is com
mercially designated prairie grass
hay" and tons of it are carried at every
feed store in the state. 1t finds a read,
market at from eight to ten dollars
the ton, and, next to alfalfa. is th'
most commonly used kind. However
its valuation of $1,7S3,501 represent
but fraction of the total wealth-pro
ducing valuation of the native mea
dows, most of the value of which il
represented in fat livestock of thi
state and Texas.
The value of these meadows is ma
terially increased for grazing purpose
by the presence of an abundant suppl,
of small ponds for watering purposes
There are, all told, 1858 of these pond
which, if massed into one body, woul'
form lake of fresh water overspread

OKLAHOMA BOY Chief
OF IRRIGATION SERVICE

One more was added to the long list
of Oklahoma graduates who have
achieved notable success since leaving
their alma-mater when Willard Cor
ton, a former Guthrie and Pawnee boy
and graduate with the Bachelor of Arts
degree in the class of 1908, was recent
ly appointed to take charge as acting
chief ofall the government irrigation
works in the PHILIPPINES. Gorton was
a brilliant student and a leader while
in college and his rapid rise to success
in his profession is in line with the un-
usual promise he showed in his stu
dent days After receiving his degree
he entered the government service and
directed with ability work in the in
terest of the reclamation service in
Montana and Idaho He left this EN-
ployment to accept a better position
with a private irrigation company at
Richfield, Idaho, two years ago, and
continued in its service until this
month when he was offered the Phil
lipines appointment by the govern
ment at an annual salary of $4,000. Mr..
Gorton leaves San Francisco Decem-
Der on the Korea for the Philli-
pines accompanied by his wife who
was formerly Miss Catherine Sarchet

MRS. PATTERSOKS
FATE UNDECIDED
Prosecutor Quotes From Kipling in
Opening His ArraignmeEt Of
the Defendant.

Denver, Colo, Noe. 29.-That the
jury retire last night to consider ver-
dict in the case of Gertrude Gibson
Patterson, charged with the murder of
her husband, Judge Allen ordered
special session of the court
All Tuesday afternoon until dusk in
the tiny little court room, attorneys of
Denver since the early day, examined
the exhibits and heard scathing ar
raignment TO the defendant by Prosecu-
tor Benso With her fingers stretch
ed across her eyes, shutting out the
sight Oh Prosecutor Benson as he ex-
planned the killing of Patterson as the
deliberate climax of a conspiracy, Mrs.
Patterson listened.
Attorney Benson closed an impas-
stoned arraignment of the defendant
by exhibiting the coat worn by Patter-
son when he was shot. He pointed to
the powder marked hole in the back
and gave 1t to jurors for closer examin-
alton.
Attorney Hilton for the defense,
painted his client as the unfortunate
victim of two men. He asserted that
any of the assaults which Patterson
was said by witnesses to have made
on his wife would have justified her
in killing him.
A Fool There Was
"A fool there was. and he made his
prayer,
(Eyen as you and ~
To rag, and bone and hank of
hair
We called her the woman who didn't
care,
But the fool, he called her his lady
fair,
And she shot him in the back.
Was the way Attorney Benson open
ed his address.
The prosecutor then took up the
early life of the defendant in an at
tempt to convince the jury that it was
no unsophisticated 16-year-old child.
but an experienced woman, won the
devotion of Emil W. Strouss in Chi
cago.
Benson declared that the evidence
shows that Gertrude Gibson was 21
or % years old when she met the Chi
cago clothing manufacturer and five
or six years older than Charles A.
Patterson.
"Joe Briscoe, the saloonkeeper. was
Mrs. Patterson's first, ana Mr.. Strouss
her second, SCI far as have been able
to discover" Attorney Benson was
S continuing. when Attorney Hilton,
jumped to his feet, objected, and the
court ordered the jury to disregard
this portion of the prosecutors argu-
ment
At the night session, Attorney Hi
ton finished his argument for the de-
tense An hour was consumed in re-
ply by the prosecutor and the case
was given to the jury at 9:40 o'clock,
Shortly after 10 o'clock Judge Allen
ordered the jury locked up for the
night He told the jurors he would
not be in court before o'clock today
so the verdict cannot be returned be
fore that hour.
