WOULD FORCE
BANK ASSESSMENT
Oklahoma Bank MAJ W
on Guaranty csrtliaze

Oklahoma City, April 24-The VIII
kin-Hale State bank of Oklahoma City
probably will seek mandamus writ
to require the state banking board to
levy a special assessment for the state
guaranty fund to retire banking board
certificates to the amount of $250,000
In absence of cash to the credit of the
guaranty fund, the law authorizes the
banking board to issue certificates, or
interest bearing warrants, payment of
which is pledged by the guaranty fund
to be retired as rapidly as money
comes to the fund. The Wilkin-Hale
bank holds about 100000 of the out
standing issued.
Assuming that the law. in saying
that the guaranty fund shall not be
impaired, means that special assess
ments, if necessary, shall be made to
take up the outstanding certificates,
the bank called on the banking board
to do so. The board today decided not
to make the call, insisting that the
matter of making special assessments
had been within the boards deere
ton in the past and will be so in the
future. A regular assessment of one
fifth of / per cent was made by the
board recently. bringing about $4,000
to the fund. A special assessment of
one-half of / per cent would it is figur-
ed. more than be sufficient to retire
the certificates.

The Commission will therefore arrange

ice may be transferred to the position
of clerk or carrier in first or second
class post Office, to the position of
railway mail clerk, or to other posi-
ton in the classified service, subject
to such examination as may be required
by the civil service rules
JO1N Z. BLACK,
President.
Eligibles ON registers established
prior to March l, 1912, can be consider
ed for appointment only at the office
for which they we're examined. Such
eligibles may be examined within one
year from the date of their former ex-
aminations upon filing applications
showing that they meet the require
ments of the new examination, their
old eligibility for their home offices not

Oklahoma City, April 23.-Protest-
ing that the making of lease by the
school land commission to the Build
ers Sand and Gravel company of Okla
homa City of the river beds of the
Arkansas and Grand rivers, gave that
company a monopoly on the sand and
gravel representative of the CONNER
cial Clubs of Muskogee and Tulsa, ap-
peared before the school land commits
sion today and argued for voiding of
the contract with the builders COM
pany. The proposition is one that has
stirred the state as no other incident
since statehood. The granting of the
exclusive franchise made the builders
company, which is composed of Okla
homa City attorneys, sole owners for
practical purposes of al 1.-The sand and
gravel in the beds of these two rivers.
At the end of the hearing today it
was decided to have representatives of
the sand and gravel companies that
have been taking this material from
the river come to Oklahoma City next
Monday morning and tell the commits
sion what they think about proper
royalty the state should charge.
Two members of the school land
commission, Governor Cruce and Sec
retary of State Ben F. Harrison, who
voted against the contract to the
builders company are in favor of re-
scinding the lease while the other
three were not satisfied to take such
action yesterday. They intimated that
they had not been so we'll informed as
now and that with proper showing
they might change their mind and vote
to rescind the contract.
= Accompanying the lease given the
Builders Sand and Gravel company
was supplemental contract with
three attorneys who compose the build
ers company to collect back royalty
from companies and any one who has
taken sand and gravel from the river
bed receiving "a fee of 25 per cent of
all they collect, amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars. Seven suits
have already been brought against in
dividuals and railroads for the recov-
cry of back royalties.
AS the company holds an exclusive
lease on the future supply of sand and
gravel. it was argued that they could
compel the other companies to settle
or go out of business, thereby in a
short time leaving the builders COM
pany in exclusive control of the situa-
ton, with no stipulation in their con-
tract to prevent them charging any
price they pleased for sand and gravel.
L. ]. Martin mayor of Tulsa, ]. NJ.
Hall and |. F. Grow, members of the
Commercial Club of that city, and
Judge C. B. MeCrory and Irwin Dono-
van Of Muskogee, presented arguments
against allowing the contract to stand.
Robt. Galbreath, recently elected dem
ocratic national committeeman, also
opposed strenuously the contract de-
claring that the administration would
be held responsible for it.

Liquor Decision at Minneapolis Exact
ly Contrary TO the One in the
Friedman Case.

Judge G. A. Willard Of the United
States court sitting at Minneapolis
has just handed down an important
decision which may have direct bear
ing on the effort now being made by
the government TO prohibit the intro
duction of liquor into the eastern part
of Oklahoma The court held that the
effect of all Indian treaties had been
wiped out by the admission of Min
nesota into the union and perma-
nent injunction was issued against w.
IE. (Pussyfoot) Johnson from closing
or interfering with the saloons of
Bemidjii Mimi.
Johnson and other government
agents worked in northern Minnesota
in the fall and winter of 1910 and 1911
and after securing evidence that Ii
quor was being sold on government
reservations application was made for
temporary injunction and the same
was granted The government con-
tended in its right TO keep liquor of
Indian lands under treaties contain
ing an anti-liquor clause. The court
lby its recent decision permanently en-.
joins Johnson and his associates from
interfering with these saloons. The
case will be appealed by the govern
ment at the September term of the
circuit court Of appeals IN Denver.
