ADD MILLIONS
IN STATE TAXES

Lawton, Okla, Aug. 15.--Approxi-
mately three million dollars in gross
revenue tax will be added to the treas
ury of the state fthe supreme court
OF Oklahoma sustains a decision hand
ed down by District Judge ]. T. John
son here yesterday. He held that the
Comanche Light and Power company
of Lawton is liable for gross revenue
earnings upon which it has refused
payment for three years, relying upon
a decision by the United States SUI
preme court which abrogated gross
revenue assessments upon corpora
tions. While little more than $500 is
involved in the Lawton case, r. E.
Gish of the attorney generals office
explains that this is to be made test
upon which public service corpora
tions all over the state will stand in
the hope of defeating the Oklahoma
gross revenue law, thus involving
about three million dollars, an amount

FIND EVIDENCE
OF WHITE SLAVERY
Federal Officers Close investigation Of
White Slave Traders.

Tulsa, Okla. Aug. 10. - Declaring
that the system of conducting under
world houses that emplay women in
Tulsa, is nothing more nor less than
white slavery. and that the operations
OF procurers for local resorts have for
months been the subject of investiga-
tion by government sercet service en-
ployes, members of the United States
circuit court constabulary yesterday
practically brought to close a series
Of sweating" inquiries and announced
that within a few hours arrests will
be made and information laid before
United States Commissioner Ben Con-
nor that will perhaps mean detailed
probe by the October federal grand
jury.
The investigation has been conduct
ed with the greatest secrecy and was
only brought to climax when on
Tuesday Mrs. E. l.. Wallace, an aged
woman on trial before the commits
sioner on white slavery charge, gave
testimony that resulted in her being
held pending a grand jury Indictment.
Technically it is in violation of the
white slave law to barter women, in
fiuence them to go from house to
house, or to transport them. 1t is
charged that many Of the proprietors
of houses in Tulsa are members of a
semi-organized system which not only
introduces new victims to the brothel.
but classifies and exchanges those
who are already inmates. Either in
stance is a violation of the law.
The probable arrests are said to be
of men who have recently sent women
from Kansas City and other cities
here, and of the men and women who
receive them. knowledge OF the sys-
tenn to the smallest detail is said to
be in the hands of the government ou-
thorities.

MAY ELECT
STATE EXAMINER

Oklahoma City, Aug. 15-If It is
considered by the democratic state
leaders that a state examiner must be
elected in November to succeed
Charles A. Taylor. as claimed by the
republicans, and it is probable that
the state committee at its meeting
August 2S, for the ratification eonven-
ton the same day will nominate the
democratic candidate.
Dates for the meeting of the new
republican state committee and the
ratofying convention, have not been
set, but candidate for examiner, I'M
doubtedly will be nominated, on the
theory that the November election is
an election for the choosing of sue
cessors of state officers who have
died since the election of 1910.
Should the state convention August
|2S nominate man for state examiner
the friends of Hugh Gerner, former
assistant under Taylor, would undoubt-
edly try to put their man across.
Friends Of Fred Parkinson, appointed
examiner by Governor Cruce over Ger
ner, who had also applied. would pre-
fer to have the state committee make
the nomination and submit it to the
convention for ratification. The latter
plan is most likely to prevail The
only precedent is the case of Leo
Meyer. present state auditor. who was
placed nthe ticket by the committee
after the death of Bill Cross who was.
nominated at the primary.
Although there is much difference
of opinion between democrats whether
an examiner must be elected, many
0 fthem agree that the safer plan is
to nominate man, in case it should
be decided by the courts later that his
election was required,

OLD SOLDIERS
WILL GET MONEY
Passage Of Pension Appropriation Bill
Breaks Greek In Pay.

Washington, Aug. 15.-within the
next week thousands OF veterans who
have received no pensions since the
beginning of the present fiscal year,
July /, will get their government war
rants. Both house and senate today
agreed TO the pensions bill. which has
been thrown like a shuttle between the
two houses since last February. The
measure carries $160,00O.000. The
president probably will sign the bill
tomorrow and by Saturday the pen
sion bureau will mail out checks. Many
of the checks already have been pre-
pared and are waiting at the eighteen
pension agencies to be mailed.
A provision placed in the pension
bill as originally passed by the house
abolishing the eighteen pension agen-
cies throughout the country caused
delay. The senate objected to elimi-
mating the agencies and a deadlock
ensued. The senate finally agreed to
a provision which will eliminate the
agencies January 81, 1913.
The elicination of agencies will force
some 250 clerks employed in them
either to move to Washington or to
leave the government service

Credit Systems Of Eurepe.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Ambassador
Herrick of Paris reports to the state
department today that in his work of
investigating the cooperative credit
systeps of Europe he has the volun-
tary asa stance of Mr.. Edwin Chamber
lain, of San Francisco, as representa-
tive of the American Bankers Associ-
alton, and Mr. John D. Dillon. presi-
dent of the Agricultural Association
of New York. These men are giving
their services gratis simply to assist
Ambassador Herrick in the compila-
tion of his exhaustive report on Euro
pean cooperative credit systems which
lit is proposed to make the basis of
some system of land mortgage banks
to be organized in this country.
Mr.. Herrick also reports that Mr.. E.
/ N. Breitung. Of Marquette, Mich, and
Mr. Breckenridge Jones. of st. Louis,
Mo. are now en- route to Paris and
will add their services in the work of
investigating this question. Mr.. Bret
tung is interested in the ore business
in the northwest, and considers that
the cooperative credit system will
work wonders in the development of
the waste lands of the northwest,
which for years have remained unde
veloped. in his opinion, largely on ac-
count of the lack of cheap money. Mr..
Jones is also man of Independent
fortune. and has volunteered to help
Mr.. Herrick simply because Of the
great benefit which he, as a banker,
believes viii accrue to the American
farmer and, through him, to the entire
nation through the adoption of the co
operative credit system in the United
States.
Two other men have placed them
selves on Ambassador Herrick's aux
iliary staff-Mr. Todd Ford, of Cali
fornia, and Mr.. ingalls,. son of ex-
Senator ingalls,. of Kansas. Neither
of the men is receiving compensation
for his services. Mr.. Ford is prepar-
ing himself for the diplomatic service.
The services of these men. Ambas-
sador Herrick believes, will enable
the embassy to push the work of the
compilation of the various reports

diplomatic officers that the final re-

DEMOCRATS ARE
 GETTING READY
PLANS FOR BALTIMORE CoNVEN- TON WELL UNDER WAY WITH
 LEADERS ON THE SCENE.
Demand for a Strong Man for Second Place Is Becoming Apparent to
 Politicians.

Baltimore, June 11-Plans are being formulated by members of the demo cratic national committee. it was learned here tonight, to create a new office to be known as chairman of the campaign committee. This new officer, who will work with the nat ional chairman. may or may not be a member of the national committee anI his selection will be made by the presi- dential candidate after a conference with the new national committee mem bers, The national chairman will con tinue in general charge of the cam paign
 Already United States Senator O'Gorman of New York. has been dis cussed for chairman of the new cam paign committee. Just how many members will constitute the new cam i paign committee has not been con sidered. but the creation of the office of chairman was believed to be advis- able because the coming presidential contest promises too much labor for the national chairman.
 National Committeeman Josephus Daniels of North Carolina, said several committeeman had the matter under advisement but thought it was too soon to discuss 1t.
 National Committeeman Edwin o. | Wood of Michigan reached here today to errange for accommodations for 500 democrats from his home state. The | mayors of 32 Michigan cities, MT. | Wood said, would be in the delegation. Mir. Wood brought forward the name of representative Frank Doremus Of Detroit for temporary chairman Of the convention.
 Iient. Gov. Hugh Nichols. of Ohio. aas.naign manaRer for Governor liar. mon. stopped off in Baltimore for a short time today to look over prelimi- nary arrangements made by the liar mon lieutenants, and then proceeded to New York, where he will remain for two or three days.
 National Committeeman Daniels to- night started a movement to bring about the nomination for vice presl. dent of the man who stands second for the presidential nomination on the final ballot. Mir. Daniels said the Bal timore convention should be repetion of 1884 when the ticket was Cleveland ana Hendricks, both of whom were candidates for the presidency.
 He said that none of the candidates for president would say at this time that he would accept the vice presl dential nomination, but declared thai after the final ballot on the presi
 dential nomination the second man should be appealed to take the wee
 presidential place as a duty to the democratic party.
 MT. Daniels says the party cannot
 tal,e any chances on nominating
 small man for the vice presidency but
 must put with it's presidential prefer
 ence a man for vice president who is big enough to be president and who
 viii represent some of the blanks
 which the democrats will put into the
 platform.
