CRUCE WILL CALL SPECIAL Session
TO MEET ABOUT MIDDLE Of MARCH

beyond the farthest limits where the
most vivid imagination would place
the city limits of oklahoma city ten
years from now.
When the members of the State
Capitol Development company made
their offer to Governor Haskell over
a year ago, Henry Overholser, per-
City, acted as spokesman. 1t was In
tended to offer the state $50 acres Of
land for capitol site. Uncle
Henry as he Is known here, In the
excitement OF the moment offers
$50 acres and Governor Haskell ac-
cepted without hesitation. When
Overholser was reminded by his as
sociates of his mistake, the commit
tee made another trip to Haskell S
office, but learned that they could not
change their offer and have 1t taken
up. To secure the additional 200
acres, 1t was necessary to go outside
the city limits several miles and a
tract Of 245 acres was secured worth
perhaps $1,000 as a wildcat invest
ment, but appraised for state capitol
purposes at $4,000,
While the last legislature was in
session, Governor Cruce proposed to
the State Cepitol Development COM
pany that it turn the capitol tract
over to the state and give up the in
tention of building the capitol itself,
or at least of furnishing the $1,000
600 wherewith to construct, 1t Is said
the local promoters turned the prop
osition down. A few months ago,
when the real estate market was at
its lowest ebb for years, and it looked
as if the capitol site could not pos
sibly be sold for enough to erect
suitable building, the same promoters
came back with the proposition that
they had refused when offered by
Cruce.
Governor Cruce hesitated for sew.
eral weeks before indicating that r
would accept cash payment Of
$780, 600 and deeds to the $50 acres,
but finally assented, requiring the
substitution of a new tract for part
Of that land farthest from the city
limits and a new appraisement and
report, showing that the state was re-
ceiving just what had been repre-
sented by the development company.

GIGANTIC TRUST
IS NOW PLANNED
EQUITABLE TRUST COMPANY TO
Buy THE TRUST COMPANY
OF AMERICA.
MORGAN INFLUENCE Seen
The Proposed Combination Would
Have Combined Deposits of
Sl6S,00O, 900.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Alvln f..
Kreck, president of the Equitable
Trust company has submitted an Of
fer to purchase all the stock of the
| Trust Company of America at S375 a
share. President Oakleigh Thorne,
president of the company, said today
that directors and sufh stockholders
as he had been able to see, favored
the offer, which would be submitted to
all the stockholders.
The exact purpos eof Mr.. Kreck's $
offer is not disclosed but 1t Is said
able company.
Withstood Run i'm 1907.
The Trust Company of America was
organized by Mr.. Thorne and asso-
ciates in 1897. 1t was the center OF
much interest in the panic Of 1907 and
withstood a run" by its depositors
which lasted for almost a week.
The part played by the trust COM
pany i'm that crisis led to the taking
over by the Steel corporation of the
stock of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company, which the trust company
held as collateral.
The capital stock of the trust COM
pany is $2,000,000 with a surplus ac-
cording to last years report of $4,000
900. Its deposits approximate s30.-
100000, with assets in excess of S40,-
100000.
Connected With Hartman Interests.
The Equitable Trust company was
organized in 1902 and has always been
regarded as an offshoot Of the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society with Loose
connections with the Hartman inter-
ests. The company has a $7,00O,000.
capital and s10,000,000 undivided
profits, and about $12, 100000 of de-
posits with assets Of $60,O00,000.
The Equitable Trust company was
made homeless by the Equitable build
ing fire. Should it acquire control OF
the Trust Company of America, OF
which there seems to be little doubt,
it will probably move to the Trust
Company of Americas building, one
of the largest and most handsomely
appointed in the financial district.
Combined Deposits S1GS,00O, 900.
so-called community of interest
has existed between the Equitable and
America company for some time.
There will probably be a disposition in
some quarters to regard the acquisition
of the Trust Company of America as
natural consolidation of number
Of trust companies in which the Nor
gan influence has been paramount.

Company of America and Equitable

INDIAN AFFAIRS
IN GOOD HANDS
MORE DONE FOR CHOCTiWS AND
CHICKASAWS THAN DURING
PAST TEN YEARS.
BILL IN Senate THURSDAY
Senate VIII Probably be More Favor
able to Demands of Tribes Than
Was the House.

Through the efforts Of Pat j. Hur-
ley, general attorney for the Choctaw
Indian nation, and Chief Victor Locke,
of the same nation, the present ses-
sion OF congress will probably do more
for the final settlement Of tn etribal
affairs of tn eChoctaw and Chicka-
saw Indian nations than has been done
In the past nine years. Already the
first big step has been accomplished
the passage by tn ehouse of represen-
tatives of the Carter bill for the sale
of the surface of tn segregated coal
and asphalt lands belonging to the
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations.
In the passage of this bill by the
house last week. Hurley and Locke
procured practically every apend-
ment providing for the sahe Of the
mineral with the surface lands. Un-
der the supplemental treaty Of 1902.
the Indians were entitled to final
settlement of their estates.
Congressman Phillip P. Campbell
stayed by the guns" to the very
last, and made strenuous effort on
the floor of the house to have the
bill amended to provide for the sale
of the mineral rights and a complete
settlement of the estates.
BcfOr senate on Thursday.
The committee on Indian affairs
Of the senate will have a hearing oD
the subject Thursday, at which Hur-
lie yand Lock evil appear. 1t is pos
sible that the senate will come near
er giving the Indians what they ask
for than did the house.
1t Is certain that some law will be
enacted at the present session that
will tend toward a final settlement
of the Indian affairs. Probably no
a hard fight Hurley and Locke have
made for legislation towards this end,
and the fact that they have already
accomplished more than has hith-
erto been done in the past nine years
shows that the affairs Of the Choctaw
nation are in capable hands. and leads
to the belief that their work will
bring about the end sought for for
many years by the Indians-the final
setlemen of their affairs.
Much of the credit for the victory
thus far won Is due to Congressman
Campbelb whose straightforward and
honest efforts in behalf of the Indians
was large factor in the passage OF
the Carter bill by the house last
Thursday.

Il have only received Secretary
knOX's note through the American
minister, and have not yet made
reply but probably will do so tomor-
row. | am convinced that no occa-
sion has yet arisen for any interven-
ton, | believe that the Washington
governments attitude is based on an
erroneous view of conditions in Cuba
arising from distorted and greatly ex-
aggorated reports from Havana"
Peace reigns throughout Cuba and
will continue to reign. [ am fully In
control of the situation which does
not call for alarm and | am abund-
antly able to enforce the laws. APP
plying not only to those In military
service. but to all concerned"
General Emilio Nunez. former gov
ernor of the province of Havana and
president of the veterans a.sociation
said. the association exists Z )lely for
the purpose of purifying the civil SER
vice and excluding all former trait
ors to the cause of Cuban indepen-
dence, wherefore we hold that all
veteran military officers have a per-
feet right to attend our patrioti-
meetings.

Cuba Would Resist.

III the United States intervenes un-
der present conditions" he continued
when no necessity exists TO avoid
disorder. or restore order, then Cuba
would be stripped of every vestlge
OF independence. If this condition Is
forced on us the United States will
have to fight us and that struggle for
Independence will not cease while
Cuban Is left alive to defend the
fatherland"
Many conservative veterans tonight
ridiculed Nunez's threats of resist
ance to American intervention as
merely a hint. which would be use
full In restoring confic/nce. Others
frankly declare that the general con-
ditions throughout the country and
the widespread lack Of confidence
to the great detriment of business
have now reached so serious . pass
that some remedy was imperative; ev-
en- Intervention was preferable TO ex-
istlng conditions and threatening

HAVANA, Jan. 16.-The threaten
en- Intervention by the United States
in Cuban affairs. which was publish
ed In the late editions Of the Havana
afternoon papers, coming without the
least warning caused excitement in
the clubs and cafes. while in official
circles affairs are very much disturb
ed.
Later as the news was fully con-
firmed the impression became gem
eral that the suggestion OF interven-
ton probably would have a good ef-
feet in calming the existing veteran
agitation and in quieting political ex-
cjtement
