on Special Train at 1890

LeavenwOrth Prison
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrRn.I

indianapolis, Ind, Lee. S1.-Fear by
United States Marshal Schmidt that
an attempt would be made to blow IN
the special train carrying the 80 union
leaders convicted Of conspiracy un-
lawfully to transport dynamite, to Fort
Leavenworth federal prison, and the
filing Of writs Of supersedeas and er-
ror in the United States district court
here today caused delay in the de-
parture of the dynamite special It
was originally intended for the spe-
oial to move at 1O;3O O'Clock, but this
plan was blocked by the action of the
defense attorneys in filing the two
writs, and it was decided not to start
the train until there was no possibili-
ty Of legal interference
While Judge Anderson was postpon-
ing on the writs to Thursday, Marshal
Schmidt was at the county jail in
structing so deputies regarding their
duties. It was said he had heard re-
ports that the progress of the "dyna-
mite special" was to be interfered
with. Thetrain started over the Penn
sylvania railroad at exactly 1890
o'clock, and is routed, 1t is believed via
st. Louis. q
There is ap ossibhlty, and It is not
an improbability, either" Marshal
Schmidt told his deputies, that an
attempt will be made to dynamite this
train. Personally do not expect any
thing like this to happen, but this trip
will be no picnic
81 must deliver these men safely at
Fort Leavenworth prison, and l in
tend TO see that this is done. The first
man caught taking drink on this
trip will be fired at the next station"
"a pile of junk" was the phrase
used by Federal District Attorney Mil
Ter, referring to the 100 typewriter
pages comprising the two writs filed
by defense attorneys. The postpone
ment was granted by Judge Anderson
at the request Of Miller There was
no argument.
Specific instructions that no man
be permitted to leave the train after
it started was given by Marshal
Schmidt, who also ordered his depu-
ties not to allow the prisoners out of
their sight.
The deputies rode two in aseat
each officer facing prisoner The
convicted men bore up well.
The special train is comprised OF
two coaches and baggage car no
sleeping accommodations being pro-
vided, as Marshal Schmidt considered
it necessary for his deputies to re-
main awake. The special is due at
Leavenworth at 8 o'clock tomorrow
morning.

Oklahoma Medical School Approved

The following message was recently
received by Dean Robert F. Williams
of the Oklahoma University School of
Medicine from DR.. A. S. Downing, first
assistant commissioner of education
of the state of New York:
This is to inform you that at a
meeting of the board of regents of the
state of New York, the School of Med
icine of the University of Oklahoma
was formally registered as a school of
medicine"
This recognition is one that is much
coveted, and which is not at all easy
to obtain as may be seen from the fact
that about the same time the Okla
homa school was approved, the ban
was placed on twenty-five medical
schools including a number which are
to be doing work Of high
grade.
The effect of this ban is to prevent

the Vinita high school and the girls
from the Adair school. The Adair
girls have defeated. the Vinita team
once this season, but our girls say
that this victory was due to the fact
that the game was played on an out

than regain their lost prestige in this
coming contest. There will also be a
contest between the senior
and sophomore boys. Both of the
games promise to be good ones and a

New Jay And Old Jay Clash Again

climax TO the county seat fight which
has been wRged for months between
two rival factions in the town, one at
New Jay and the other at Old Jay.
The situation is so delicate that Gov.

Oil Lease Conspiracy?


1t was brought to the attention of
the secretary Of the interior more
than two years ago that something
was radically wrong with the business
affairs of the osages and that the men
who should be working for the best
interests of the tribe were apparently
being controlled by some outsiders
who were trying 10 secure leases on
the oil and gas lands in the central
and western part of the nation. The
council went so far as TO make a blan-
ket lease but 1t was turned down by
Lhe department of the interior and
new regulations were provided The
government also ordered a new elec-
tion and ordered Bacon Rind, Red
Eagle and others removed from office.
The leases were sold under the gov
ernment regulations but the sales
were all rejected by the Usage council.
While all this work was going on,
Cook and his assistants were at work
and it is understood they have bagged
the Usage council. several attorneys
and oil men and one ex-oficial of
Usage county.

Had Leaders Watched.

1t may come as a shock and an

who are considered the wealthiest
class of people in the world to learn
that Uncle Sam has not had complete
confidence in their chiefs for some
time, and that experienced secret serv.
Ice men have been in close touch with
the affairs or the council for months.
Every move made by the Usage lead
ers has been closely watched and
when the blow falls it can be safely
