ton. But when competitors got their
ice to New York. they found that
Morse had closed every dock to them.
American Ice went up to 80. and
the company prospered exceedingly.
Then the stock began to drop. Morse
got out as active manager. and re-
NAMED quiet until the public indig-
nation over the price OF ice cooled.
Then he organized the Ice Securities
Company, taking in American Ice and
others, paying = per cent on pre-
terred, and sending the price Of stick
from "a TO 80 in less than a year.
In 1907 the company's stociI

sold out just before the crash came.

Morse and the Heinzes and the

he is free from debt
Here is told briefly the story of
his financial reCuperation:

done much. and where his name IL

with ulegality. There they consider
thar his troubles all came through
technical violations Of the law. Any
how, the banks and trust companies
of Bath are ready to back Morse.
They probably did help him to get on
his feet Then. certain members Of
his family have money. and they lent
him 5000 shares Of stock in the
Hudson Navigation Company. when
he pledged In the acquisition Of the
controlling interest in the company.

There are 10000 shares of stock

deal. put up the $1,000 shares of his

thus controlled $4,000 shares. and IL
most all the other stock is in the

DEAD CLAIM BILL
IS RE|NTRODUCED
BY CONGRESSMAN CARTER-BiLL
PERTAINS TO JURISDICTION OF
ESTATES OF DEAD ALLOTTEES

Washington, ID. c., July 81. {
Groves has today been recommended
by c. ID. Carter for appointment as
postmaster at Porum, Okla. This Is
a presidential appointment.
Congressman Carter has reintro-
duced his dead claim bill
The purpose of this bill is to set
tie the controversy between the fed
eral departments and the Oklahoma
courts as tn the jurisdiction of in
herited estates in cases where allot-
tee died prior to the passage of the
restriction act of May q, 1908. Ii
was more than year after the pass
age of this act before the federal
departments attempted to assert ju
rlsdiction in such cases. Then the
interior department cork screwed a
decision out of the department OF
Justice holding that such transfers
were incomplete and void without the
approval of the secretary of the in
terror.
1t has always been the contention
Of Mr.. Carter that the act of May
27, 1908, gave the Oklahoma courts
full and final jurisdiction and both
the Oklahoma supreme court and
federal court of the eastern district
of Oklahoma have so decided.
This bill simply clinches the jul
risdiction for the Oklahoma courts
without further litigation. After a
vigorous and bitter fight this bill
was passed through the last congress
over the protest Of the secretary OF
the interior and commissioner of
Indian affairs, but these two func-
tionaries prevailed upon President
Taft to veto the measure. 1t was in
such cases as embraced in this bill
that so many charges of fraud and
extravaganza have been lodged
against some of the Oklahoma Off
cials and for this reason favorable
action on the matter may be found
very difficult to obtain.

CAP PTURE
AN OLD TIMER
TWO TULSA "PRINTS" CATCH A
TURTLE IN ARKANSAS RIVER
BEARING DATE "1849."

Sand Springs, July 5.--In the first
place it isn't everyone who can catch
a turtle on hook; and in the second
place it isn't everyone who will tell
about catching one even after he has
done so. But beyond that, not one
person in million has ever caught
turtle inscribed with a date on
its shell, and not one in million
would tell about it after having done
So.
But it's a fact, and right out of the
naughty Arkansas was such turtle
caught just the other day, hooked
through the upper lip with a hook
that was intended to be the downfall
of monster catfish. The catch was
made in the deep hole just south Of
Sand Springs by Al Hartman and l..
Earnest Clark, printers, and former
employees of the World in the limo
type rooms.
On last Sunday night, Hartman
and Clark set out some throw"
all of them equipped with monster
hooks. There have been some large
fish taken from the river at that
point within the past few weeks, and
heavy hooks and heavy lines are
much in use there now by the score
or more of fishermen who line the
bank. Early last Monday morning
when the line was being drawn ill.,
Clark was surprised to find it sud
denly become taut, and a good-sized
pull was eXerted from the end down
in the water. He called to his com
panion that they had big fish and
to come and help land him.
But it wasn't a fish 1t was a tur-
tie big one, and although it strug-
gled madly to gain its release, the
hook had penetrated too deeply in
the tough skin about the turtles
mouth, and it was finally hauled out
on the sandbar The creatures shell
was about as large as half of an or
binary newspaper sheet Clark and
Hartman were jubilant over having
captured the "boy" that had been
taking all the bait off the hooks night
after night but they were astonished

to see plainly indented on the animals
back the date of 1879" The
numerals were plainly visible, and
evidently had been either carved or
burned into the she'll long time ago.
The fishermen carried the turtle to
and Springs where it was the Won
DER of all who saw it. All kinds OF
speculation was INDUCED in as to
how Old the carving on the turtles
back was, and many held to the
theory that perhaps persons crossing
the country at the time of the dis
covery of gold in California had cap
tured the turtle and placed the year
of the capture on the shell with
hunting knives.
The turtle was slain and its shell
taken from 1t.

Now when he had ended all his say
ings in the audinece of the people, hj
entered into Capernaum.
And a certain centurion's servant
who was dear unto him, was sick
and ready to die.
And when he heard of Jesus he
sent unto him the elders of the Jews
beseeching him that he would come
and heal his servant.
And when they came unto Jesus
they becought him instantly, saying,
That he was worthy for whom he
should do this:
For he loveth our nation, and he
hath built us a synagogue.
Then Jesus went with them. And
when he was now not far from the
house, the centurion sent friends to
him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble
not thyself: for | am not worthy that
thou shouldest enter under my roof:
Wherefore neither thought | myself
worthy to come unto thee: but say in
word, and my servant shall be
healed.
For / also am n man set under
authority, having under me soldiers,
and | say unto one. go. and he goeth;
and to another, come, and he cometh;
and to my servant, do this, and he
doeth it.
When Jesus heard these things, he
marveled at him, and turned him
about and said unto the people that
followed him, / say unto you, l have
not found so great faith no not in
Israel.
And they that were sent, returning
to the house, found the servant whole
that had been sick.
