M'REYNOLDS may TREAT
WITH HcOLD STORAGE MEN
Dealers viii Get Hearing.
Department Investigation
to Continue.

More desirous to bring down the price
OF eggs and other produce in which cold
storage men deal than to bring prosecu-
tions for breaking the antitrust laws.
Attorney General McReynolds. who has
directed investigation of cold storage
methods of doing business. it is under
stood. will be apt to consider, the appeal
of the cold storage dealers to be heard
before any complaint is carried into
court II adjustment can be reached
with the dealers. Offering satisfactory So
luton. the Attorney General, 1t is un-
derstood. would be inclined To adopt such
a course in preference to taking the issue
into court.
Request Hearing.
The double-barrel attack upon the
cold storage dealers of the country by
the Department of Justice and Congress
has brought many letters and kilograms
to Attorney General McReynolds office
urgently requesting that the dealers be
granted a hearing before the matter is
taken into the courts. The departments
INQUIRY started Saturday and has pro-
gressed only far enough for the agents
to learn something of the task before
them.
Pleas from dealers will not prevent the
officials from prosecuting the lnvesuga-
ton with vigor. Cold storage men who
come to Washington with facts TO pre-
sent that concern their business and their
relations to other dealers. nevertheless.
will not be turned away.
Willing to Make Terms.
Provided any combination found by the
investigation to be in existence is volun-
tarIly broken up and no crlminalty Is
disclosed, the Attorney General would be
willing to make terms with the dealers.
Pending any offers Ia person from the
cold storage men, the department has.
set its best agents on the trai. of high
produce prices and the Attorney General
is awaiting eagerly for their reports.
The fact that there are many cold Stor-
age houses throughout the country makes
the investigation one OF large propor-
tons. The agents will look into every
phase that is presented TO them or sug-
gested to the department where there is
any ground for belief that the dediers
are operating illegally.
Living Cost Little Reduced.
Some officials of the department admit
that there has been little reduction in
cafme law Their aim is to discover who
is responsible. Mr.. McReynolds clearly
Indicated his purpose TO get after the md
die man in the bill recently filed in New !
York against associations of wholesale
and manufacturing jewelers..
The brief against the jewellers. how i
ever, was but the opening gun of the de- 8
partment's campaign against middle men
who resort to combinations TO keep re-
taiiers from buying directly. according 10
officials at the department.

Doc" Hays of the Ardmore police
force positively states that he would
rather ride herd over a thousand
unbroken mustangs than to try to
stand guard over one runaway 90
year old boy and one-likewise run
away-fifteen-y year-old girl, bent on
getting married.
While acting as the strong arm of
the law in interfering with and pre-
venting the marriage of such cou-
rle this morning Officer Hays es-
corted the would-be happy pair to
a leading hotel in this city for their
breakfast. The couple was awaiting
the arrival of the irate father of the
wants-to- be bride, but they were hun
cry Just the same. Now Hays is a
policeman and a good one, but un-
der his coat of blue and brass but
tons there beats heart as warm as
any to be found in the breast of king,
purince or preacher. This being the
case he figured out that he would
do the part of christian soldier,
gentleman and a man who had loved
a girl at one time himself There
fore while the eloping couple were
in the dining room of the hotel, Off
Ger Hayes sat in the office nearby
and calmly puffed long black Pref
erencio which had been presented to-
him by the wants-to-be bridegroom.
After the cigar had gone the way of
all good cigars, he smoked a couple
of dozen pipes of Patrolman's Delight.
Then he realized that any couple
only afflicted with normal appetite
should have long minutes ago had a
of ham, eggs and cakes,
A trip to the dining room disclosed
the fact that the "happy couple" had
won over a tender hearted attache of
the hotel and decamped by the rear
way.
And now officer Hays says that in
future he will eat with all prisoners
who are looking for marriage licenses
and knot-tying preachers.

Lahy, Tuesday, for Fannie Mcjn-
tosh, who, in the opinion of the late
Judge n. b. Moore, Is the oldest wo-
man in Oklahoma, if not in the entire
United States, and who, according to
the records of the dawes commits
sion, is living past the century mark,
Judge Moores records and researches
show that the aged negress is III
years Of age.
Fannie Mcintosh was examined by
Judge 'Leahy in person Tuesday and
the tests made by the court were
interesting She was handed a num-
be rof silver coins, and, while able
to distinguish the MARKS, she was un-
able to tell their denomination.
While apparently in good health,
the aged negress is very frail. She
is scarcely a shadow and at best will
not weigh more than seventy-five
pounds. Her arms ar thin and
gaunt, and her fingers are not much
thicker than lead pencils. Her hair,
which is cropped close to the skull,
is white and she keeps it covered
with a skull cap.
Fannie McIntosh's daughter, wife
of Harry Corbrey who accompanied
her, said that her mother came to
Oklahoma more than 100 years ago.
She had been a slave in Alabama and
Judge Moore parents were acquaint-
cd with some of her former masters
She was a slave when the second Ad-
ans was president. and was an old
woman at the time of the Mexican
war. She was allotted 100 acres of
land in Wagner county, which has
since been taken over by outsiders,
and it is to try to recover possession
of this land that a guardian was ap-
pointed.

STARTLING TALES
OF GRAF 7 SYSTEM
CONFESSIONS OF MEN AND WOM-
EN- OCCUPY ATTENTION OF
PROBES.

New York, March 1.-THE grand
jury and District Attorney Whitman
spent Tuesday listening to the con-
fessions of men and women that they
paid money to policemen in return
for immunity from interference While
they violated the law
A hotel owner and several women
who ran disorderly resorts told how
thev contributed to the Golfers of the
system" Much of their testimony
corroborate.l stories already told, in
volving police officers and politicians.
The rest of it brought under suspic-
ion men, not hitherto suspected and
must in turn be corroborated In Mr..
Whitman's effort to bring the guilty
under indictment.
One visible result of confessions
made yesterday and today was the de-
nunciation of another police inspector,
of a dozen or more high police offlc-
ials, whom witnesses have accused or
taking graft Commissioner Waldo,
after reducing Inspector John j. Muir
tha to the rank of captain; transferred
him and suspended him without pay
Murtha formerly was in charge OF the
precincts in Harlem, the district that
figured most prominently in the graft
disclosures made thus far.
One of the most remarkable wit
nesses examined by Mr. Whitman was
Mary Stacom, who testified today at
the age of "A that fifty-four years OF
her life have been spent as keeper
of disorderly resorts. Known through
out the underworld as Mother Sta
com" this woman pieced together the
experiences of her life with facts that
are expected to serve Mr.. Whitman
invaluably.
Another startling story has reached
the district attorney in the form of a
report of one of his investigators. 1t
told how a woman. Annie Gray, was
reputed to have accumulated a for
tune of more than 100000 as a dis
orderly resort keeper. Backed by a
former sheriff and a one-time police
commissioner, according to informa-
tion available to the prosecutor. An
ME Gray conducted several of the
most noted resorts of their type In
this city. She will 80 before the
grand jury with an account OF her un-
derworld experiences, according to
Mr.. Whitman's expectations.
Samuel Levy, a hotel man, went be-
fore the grand jury today to repeat
graft story he repeated to Mr.. Whit
man. In this story he told of paying
s75 monthly for the privilege of sell
ing liquor without license. once
he refused to pay, he declared, and
there was a fake raid on his hotel
ond bo woc hroupht to court but
when he slipped SIS into a police
mans hands, the case against him fell
through for lack of evidence
He was told that this would "be
a lesson" to him, he said.

CARTER SELECTS
POSTMASTER
FIRST APPOINTMENTS EVER
MADE BY DEMOCRATIC CON-
GRESHAM FROM STATE.

Washington, March 11.-Although
serving in congress since statehood,
Representative Carter, of Oklahoma,
Tuesday named his first postmasters.
In fact his selections, which went TO
the postoffice department from which
they will go to the senate for con-
firmation, are the first ever made by
a democratic congressman from the
state.
Mr.. Carter has chosen John F. Lar
ecy for the postmastership at Hugo,
Choctaw county, and c. A. Bonham
for the office at Keota, Haskell coun-
ty.
Some doubt exists as to whether
the nominations will go to the senate
before the extra session. If the de-
partments nominations are held back
until after the present senate adjourns
the nominees may be placed in office
as vacancy appointments, confirma-
tion of which can be made at any time
in later months. If sent to the senate
they might fail of immediate confirm
alton and the nominees would have to
remain out of office until formal ac
ton was taken at later date and
therefore would not receive any sal
ary until that time.
Secretary Burleson favors the plan
Of holding back the nominations un
Ill the present session adjourns.
