THE FIGHTING
HAS STARTED

/ Chicago, ILL.,, June 14.-Grant Victor,
+ United States marshal from Mus'o~ee,
l.. G. Disney, Roosevelt adnarb
from the same city, and Pat Dore of
Westyille came together head-on juts
outside of the door behind which the
republican national committee was
meeting this morning. 1t wasn't exact
ly fist fight. It was more of storm
that blew away as quickly as it had
come. AS it lowered for a second over
head, however, it threatened to break
with cyclonic fury.
] According to the best story that can
be gathered from eye witnesses, Grant
Victor struck Disney He didn't
knock him down nor did he black his
eye. But he did hit him. Pat Dore,
always harmony advocate, waded
in and landed on Victor. Then on
lockers, detectives and police, rushed
between the men and dragged them
apart. No arrests were made.
The encounter grew out of the dis
cussion that followed the seating of
the Taft delegates from the Third Ok.
lahoma district The discussion that
went before also had something to do
with it.
In the committee room Frances ].
Heney, after the arguments in the
Third district contest had closed, had
asked that Victor holding to proxy
OF 7. A. NARROW of Montana, be ex-
cluded from voting in tht case because
Of his personal interest The sugges-
tion was not put to a vote, but Victor
retired with Former Senator Charles
Dick and other Taft attorneys.
Victor left the room making some
rather loud remarks about the Roose-
velt men. Disney, outside, was equal
ly emphatic in his statements. The
two men met face to face and told
each other what they thought of the
others actions and the case Then it
is that the fight began. Disney asserts
that Victor struck him first. Disney
did not get chance to strike back
because Pat Dore quickly took up his
cause. Ex-senator Dick then rushed
between the men and others followed
The encounter caused considerable
excitement at the time and the hotel
corridors tonight are buzzing with
stories Of how it happened. Men to-
night have it that Victor knocked Dis
ney down and that both his eyes were
blackened

THE FINANCIAL
SITUATION

New York, June IA. - The foreign
money market has been strong during
the week, but American financial ac-
tivity has not been great. The ap-
.proach of the warm season has wit
messed something of let-up in various
lines. Crop prospects in the west
have been somewhat better than pre-
yiously reported Those who attempt
to account for present slack period by
citing any single cause are in error.
Not one condition but several contri-
butte to it. Politics, the irregularity
of the season. the labor agitation, poll
tical conditions abroad and pending
judicial actions all are factors in Great
ing uncertainty and inactivity.
An outstanding feature of modern
commercial history is the unparalleled
achievement of "big business" No
other age has witnessed such indus

mechanical ingenuity Never before

skill of brain and hand with wealth.
The very nature of this achievement
the coordination and combination of
large interests into even larger units
makes ID particularly open to attack.
There is no more serious menace to
big business today than that which
arises from the attacks of unscrupu-
lous or ignorant politicians who, lack
ing in honest or statesmanlike incli-
nations. seize upon the corporations
for political exploitation Indiscrimi-
nate assaults against trusts" though
not in defense Of real democracy, fire.

Big business presents real problems
and has brought on real evils. Be-
cause of the very magnitude of these
wrongs they must be treated with wis
dom, decision and honesty.

substantial hold in the state,' said
Secretary Workman. 1T is most graf
flying to know that the call as is
sued about ten days ago has been re-
sponded to with such enthusiasm, thus
positively assuring big and repre-
sentative attendance.
"Since it has been decided that one
of the bills to be recommended will
limit to / per cent the amount of taxes
that can be levied in the state, ex-
elusive of the sinking fund and inter-
est charges, all the small taxpayers,
realize that they will be given pro-
lection. In consequence, they are
lending hearty assistance and seem.
ingly are anxious to cooperate and

dent that practically all are anxious

During the year 1911 the federal
government spent $1,30S,023.9S in the
management of the affairs of the Five
Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma. OF this
amount the government appropriated

AS a revenue producer, the state
insurance department not only sus
tanned itself, but contributed largely

ments, as is shown by a report of the
receipts of the department for the
first five months of 1912. The total
receipts for the five months amount
to s19S,502. The revenue is derived
from the collection of per cent on
all premiums collected within the
state, agents licenses, the annual en-
trance fees of life insurance COM
panies, fees for filing charters and the
insurance commissioners fees as at
torney for legal services. Figures
compiled in the insurance department
show that during the four years pre-
ceding statehood, this department col
lected in revenues the sum of $75,593.
During the four years after statehood
the department collected $685. The
receipts for 1911 were $2O3,327. Out
of last years total receipts only seven
and six-tenths per cent were used for
the maintenance of the department.
While the receipts for 1911 were un-
usually large, the figures show that
the department has collected during
the first five months of the present
year an amount that approximates the
full collection for 1911.
