SALTWATER MAN
KILLS HIS WIFE
Contractor Shoots Wife and
Then Turns Death Gun
On Himself.
sneclnI 10 The Morld.

Special 10 The World.
SALTWATER, Feb. 1s.--W. w,
Stewart, a prominent local contractor,
without apparent cause, shot his wife
TO death and killed himself with the
same revolver at their home here
carly Thursday. All three shots fired
at the woman were effective, one in
the abdomen, one in the neck and
the other IN the chin, while the single
shot through his brain caused his in
stant death.
Mrs. Stewart was conscious for an
hour, dying two hours later, follow
ing an operation.
No one saw the shooting. A 16-
year-old daughter, i'll and asleep In
an adjoining room, was aroused by
the shots and rushing into the room
found her mother writhing on the
loOr and her father a crumpled heap
beside her.
wife Tells Nothing.
The only statement the dying wom-
an gave was that her husband shot
her and had fired three times. She
would advance no reason for the oc-
CurrenCe. Neighbors who heard the
shots are said to have seen Stewart
enter the house Immediately previous.
Less than an hour before that time
he had talked over long distance from
an uptown business house and was
heard to have promised a man in
Glencoe that he would go TO Oilton
Friday morning to build house. He
showed no signs of being irrational.
A coroner's jury examined the daugh-
ter and a 23-year-old son, both Of
whom declared that there had been
no domestic unpleasantness which
could have been a cause.

It is believed the reason for the
tragedies Is that Stewart was insane.

not since the beginning Of the negotia-
tions made any representations OF
taken any diplomatic steps beyond
keeping itself informed along with
the other powers.
The belief prevailed in official quar-
ters that indsmuCh as the Chinese
memorandum antcdated considerably
that statement given the powers by
Japan, the latter document probably
constituted the present basis Of negoti-
ations or signifed either that the orig
inal demands were only tentative and
orally made or that they had been
abandoned now altogether by Japan.
The Japanese version published yes
terday COndning Japan's requests to
privileges and concessions in southern
Manchuria, inner Mongolia and Shan
tung does not so far as competent
American observers now are informed,
conflict with the two policies to which
the United states has been committed
the principle OF maintaining the in
tegrity of China and the open door
fer commercial opportunity.
First Deamnds Severe.
AS for the original version now
given out by the Chinese government
while officials and diplomats alike
guarded it's details with the utmost
secrecy, there was a belief in some
quarters usually well informed that
the japanese also had asked for priv
ueges in certain localities as the prov
iuces Of Fukien and Kiangsi, with new
railway concessions and control or
mining. Obligations requiring the con-
sent Of Japan before choosing pOlit-
t,T fat aHN or
the floating of loans were thought
here. too, have referred only TO those
provinces and not to the republic Of
China, although there are persistent
reports that China as a whole was af-
feCted by the first set of requests.
According 10 the japanese version
as given in Japan's memorandum TO
the powers, her demands are restricted
to the territory within her spheres OF
influence in China. They are sum-
married. as follows:
In Shantung-China is not TO ali
enate or lease to another power part
OF the Shantung coast or islands; also
Japan is to build spur of railway
from the main line back to Kiao
Chow, dp to ChefOO.
IN Mauchuria and Ongolia-lease
of the railways acquired from Russia
is to be extended, also Tour requests
as to japanese advice or investment
Of capital, foreign concessions, etc,
in these regions.
In Fulyien--as this is the province
on the mainland Of China, lying op-
posite to the japanese island of For
ntosa. China is not to cede or lease
any port or bay in this locality.
1t was pointed out in some quar-
ters today that It was to prevent dis
elimination against foreigners in these
very spheres Of influence that the
"open door" agreement between the
powers, including japan, was brought
about by the United states.
Interest i'm the Japanese Chinese
negotiations Is intense in official and
diplomatic quarters An effort today
by Representative Eobson to obtain
the adoption Of resolution asking
for information from the state depart
ment was met by the comment from
both Chairman Flood Of the house
foreign affairs committee and Repre-
sentative Mann, the Republican
leader, that the president should be
given a free hand in dealing with the
situation.

Special to The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 18.--An-
other effort win be made at once to
secure TO oklahoma "a share In land,
or its equivalent, under the provisions
OF a law enacted by the federal con-
grcss in 1862 and later amended in
1866, which allowed 20 each state 80
OOO acres for each representative in
congress. Conference was held with
Governor Williams today by Secre-
tary G. II. Hyde of the School Land
Lessecs' association and r. II. Wood,
assistant i'm the attorney gneerals Of
flee Governor Williams announced
that ne would take the matter up i'm
mcdiately with Congressman Scott
Fcrriss, who Is chairman Of the pub
lic lands committee.
In 1862 the federal cOngness passed
La law giving to each state in the union
80, 600 acres Of land for each repre-
sentative I'm the federal congress,
which included congressman and
United states senator's Later in 1866,
the law was amended so that all ter
ritores thereafter coming into the

ity. This law has neycn been repealed,

became eligible to participate in the
distribution of the land. However, 1t
is now said that there Is not enough
land available TO make up the 10000
acres for each representative I'm con-
gress, that only about 500 acres may
be secured
While there is a scarcity of land
now it is said thai Iand script may
ho taken in lieu of the balance in
acreage and that the state can sell
this script; that the script entities the
holder to take land in any portion Of
the United States that is open for set
tlemcnt as public land. This land,
when taken, it Is said, may be paid
for on the spot and the holder not
subjected to the terms relative to the
hOmesteudng of other lands. The land
can be purchased outright with the
script.
MIR. Hyde has been interested in
this matter for some time and be-
lieves that it can be successfully ter
minated. Under the provisions of the
old law oklahoma at the time or
statehood, would be entitled to 2lO,-
600 acres Of land. AS there Is now very
