MAKE A BUSINESS OF MURDER
Old and slckIy Indians Alleged to
Have Been the Victims of
Oklahoma Grafters.

Muskogee, Ok.-Old and sickly In
dams were chosen as the victims in
the poison plots to steal land from
the Choctaws. That fact has been
established by the government in the
investigation it already has made of
the deaths of several fullbloods. The
first arrests as the result of the in
vestigations were made at Hugo when
v. Bronough and Ed L. Reed were
charged with conspiracy to poison
Ellis Wood, an old Choctaw fullblood.
The allotment of a Choctaw is 800
acres Of the highest grade land, and
running from that on up to one thou
sand to twelve hundred acres of a
poorer grade. That made rich stake
to play for.
Dr. ]. H. Stolpher, who about year
ago was investigating the estates of
Indian minors in several counties in
the Choctaw Nation, reported that he
had found many cases in which there
appeared to be evidence that old In
dams had been poisoned and their
land taken by grafters.

BANKS TO PAY GOVERNMENT
TWO PER CENT INTEREST ON
DEPOSITS AFTER JUNE I.
Secretary McAdoo Says Plan viii
Earn Million Dollars Annually
-Upsets Tradition.

Washington, d. C.-The fiscal sys-
tenn of the United States governing
deposits Of federal funds in national
banks was revolutionIzed by Secre-
tary McAdoo of the Treasury Depart
ment with an announcement that all
government repositories, whether &C
tive or inactive, would be required to
pay interest at the rate Of per cent
year, beginning June 1, upon de-
posits of the government.
simultaneously with this action, the
secretary authorized an immediate in.
crease of $10,000,0OO in government
deposits in the national banks, MAX
ing the total $52,649,964, from which
the federal treasury will earn, under
the new interest order, $1,053,000 an
nually.
Hitherto the Democrats have been
radically opposed to sending govern
ment funds to banks and last fall crit
for such plan. Now there are indi-
| cations that Secretary McAdoo in
tends to release still more surplus
money from the treasury vaults and
place it in general circulation through
increased deposits with the national
banks. In a statement he said:
With the banks paying interest on
government deposits the secretary
may be justified in keeping larger bal
ances in the national banks, thereby
increasing the volume Of money in cir
culation and to that extent reducing
the amount locked up in the treasury
This is the first time in history that
the Treasury Department has called
upon the banks to pay interest on
what are known Gs active deposits, OF
accepted, except in period of financial
stress, securities other than govern
ment bonds.

TWO CEAD IN KANSAS CITY FIRE
Livery Barn Destroyed by
Flames.

Kansas City, Mo.-Two men are
dead as the result of a fire which
broke out in one-story building oc-
cupied by the Hurry-Up Transfer
Company and which spread to the
Helping Hand annex, adjoining it, at
the southeast corner of Fourth and
Wyandotte streets. The two buildings
were mass of flame almost before
the alarm was received at fire head
quarters.
The victims of the fire, Frederick
Watkins and a man supposed to be
Joseph Sanders, reached windows on
the second story of the annex over
looking West Fourth street Watkins
climbed from the window and lay for
some minutes upon cornice just be-
low it. AS the fire spread, firemen
and spectators cried to Watkins to
jump. A buggy was backed beneath
the window but still Watkins could
not be induced to leap from the cor
nice. Finally when smoke and flames
enveloped him he fell to the pave
ment, seriously burned from head to
foot Placed in a motor ambulance
hurried to the scene, he was taken
to the General hospital where he died
at 1920 o'clock at night.

SHOT WIFE At DINNER PARTY
ST. LOUIS WOMAN KILLED BY
sPuRNED HUSBAND.
Frederick Hoehn Was Enraged Be.
cause Wife Refused Reconcllia-
tion--captured by officers.

st. Louis, Mo.-While seated at a
dinner party at her home in the midst
of merry crowd, Mrs Emma Hoehn
was shot and killed by her husband,
Frederick, who is enraged because
she had spurned his efforts at a
reconciliation. They had been sep
arated six months.
After the shooting Hoehn ran and
was pursued to the cellar of his home
by a deputy sheriff, where he was
captured and turned over to the po-
lice. He expressed no remorse be-
cause of his act.
Hoehn is 81 years old and painter.
His wife was 40 years old and had
been married before. She had sew
eral children by her first marriage,
and Hoehn told the police it was be-
cause of quarrels over the stepchil-
dren that they separated.
Il wanted to return to my wife and
forget the past" he said at the sta
ton. Il went there for that purpose,
to plead with her to come back and
live with me. She met me at the door
and refused to have anything to do
with me-"
The diners had just seated them
selves at the table when the door was
thrown violently open and Hoehn
strobe into the room.
WELL" he said, addressing his
wife, lis it all right now?" Mrs
Hoehn, recovering from her surprise
told him there was no use of resum
ing their old argument and started to
sit down again.
Then take your medicine" he
shouted and fired at her. In his es-
cape Hoehn passed a soda factory
where the employees tried to capture
him by bombarding him with empty
bottles.

writes:
Il had drank coffee for about twenty
years, and finally had what the doctor
called coffee heart / was nervous
and extremely Respondent; had little
mental or physical strength left, had
kidney trouble and constipation.
"The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
"Then became less respondent, and
the desire to be active again showed
proof Of renewed physical and mental
strength.
II am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. formerly
did mental work and had to give 1t up
on account of coffee, but since using
Postum / am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before"
