ments to the Indian appropriation bill
and a resolution was passed at the

vides:

to the price of il in Oklahoma and re-
port to the senate whether the price
is artificially fixed below the general

quality and transportation consider
ed; and if so, by whom such prices
are fixed, and the methods by which
it is done"

vide for the making of the office OF

in regard to Indian con
tracts, which the senate committea

MELVILLE STONE ON
WITNESS STAND.
GENERAL MANAGER OF ASSOClA-
TED PRESS TESTIFIES REGARD
ING HAMLIN.

Washington, d. c., June 19.-Mel-
vile E. Stone, general manager Of the
Associated Press, testified at his own
request before the senate lobby in
vestigating committee today, regard
ing the claims contained in the cor
respondence of Clarence C. Hamlin
as to the publicity the beet sugar
men had hoped to obtain through the
Associated Press.
Stone testified that in 1911 the AS
sociated Press carried one thousand
word statement from John Arbucle
favoring free raw sugar and three
days later carried a 150-word state
ment issued at Colorado Springs by
Hamlin answering Arbuckle He pre-
sented letter from Hamlin protest
ing that the beet sugar interests
should be given as good treatment as
the refiners and stating that Ham
Inns statement had been cut down
from $50 words. Stone produced his
reply to the Hamlin letter The re-
ply said that Hamlin's statement had
been issued on busy night, when
the wires were so crowded that it was
impossible to give more space. Per-
sonally," said Stone, I'm inclined to
discourage the carrying of long state
ments of controversial nature, but
my judgment is that inasmuch as we
carried Arbuckle so fully, We might
have handled more for Hamlin."
Stone said that in all newspaper
offices and Associated Press offices
there was prejudice against public
ity agents coming there. He offered
to produce the bylaws Of the aeo-
citation. Stone was not Questioned
but the committee asked him to be
ready to appear at a later date ir
lesired.

PLANNING FOR
BIC WEEK SALE
COOPERATIVE FARE REFUNDING
SALE IN PROSPECT FOR ARD.
MORE.

Secretary Atwell of the Retailers
ssociation is going TO call a meeting
of the merchants of the city in a few
days and see if he can induce them
to have a big cooperative fare re-
funding sale for one week.
The plan is being tried in several
cities throughout this section and is
meeting with success. The idea as
suggested is for each and every mer-
chant of the city to make some spe-
cial inducements in the way of goods
and prices for one week, and at the
same time agree to refund railroad
fares to every out of town customer.
This plan can be made to apply TO
farmers and those who come in wag
ons as well as those who come by
rail by simply refunding the amount
a railroad ticket would cost for a
like distance had they come by rail.
If the plan is adopted a list Of
towns will be made up and published
and the merchants will advertise spe-
clal bargains and upon what terms
railroad fares will be refunded.

TO REFUND OR
NOT TO REFUND
THAT is A QUESTION THAT is
"GETTlNG THE GOAT" OF THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

There is good deal of discussion
INDUCED in about the court house
at present relative to the tax situa-
tion and especially the question of
whether the commissioners should
authorize funding bonds to reim
hurse those who have paid taxes on
indian lands that were exempt under
The terms of the treaty.
Good authorities on the subject
seem to think that the county com
missloners should authorize the bond
issue, while others contend that after
the case has been settled in the
courts is time enough to begin fig
uring on how best to be rid of the
question. In the meantime the argu-
ment goes merrily on and serves as
a diversion to the board of county
commissioners who are sitting as a
board of equalization and who are
beset with some complicated sltua-
Cions.

WILL GRANT WOMEN
THE BALLOT IN 1915
SUCH is THE CLAIM OF CARRIE
CHAPMAN GAIT, PRESIDENT OF
NTERNATlONAL ALLIANCE.

Budapest, June 19.-New York state
win grant women the vote in 1915.
Massachusetts will do likewise about
the same time-possibly before 1915,
and other New England common
wealths will be quick to follow the
example set by the Empire and the
Bay state. This was the claim made
here today by Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait president of the great lnterna-
tional Woman Suffrage alliance which
is holding its seventh annual con-
vention here with 1000 delegates, rep
resenting twenty eight countries, in
attendance. Mrs. Gait declared that
the fight in America is about to be
won, and that from now on women
who are fighting to have a hand in
making the laws by which they are
governed will center their efforts on
the Empire state. In explaining the
campaign mapped out for the suffra-
gists of America, Mrs. Gait describ-
ed how success in New York state
would have wonderful moral effect
on the New England states. She
declared also that the south would
be more ready to "fall into line"
after New York is won. The far
western commonwealths,' said Mrs.
Gait, 'have capitulated. Woman suf-
frage is no longer an experiment Too
much good has followed it. The states
east will capitulate and surrender to
the inevitable when New York has
set the pace. We are certain to win
in the referendum of 1915" The
congress, which has been in session
five days, will adjourn next Sum-
day.

Senator Tillman yesterday attacked
woman suffrage, eXcoriated certain
phases of modern society, cxtolled
the virtues of good women, and pre-
dicted the weakening of the whole re-
public when that day shall come that
finds woman relinquishing the home
to take part in politics. Among other
things he said: "Tfhe usefulness and
goodness of woman vary inversely as
the extent of her participation in pol
itics. We can better afford to have
corrupt politics than corrupt and bad
women. 1t is a beautiful dream that
female suffrage will purify politics. |
thank God my lot was cast in a State
