Muskogee, April 20.-An opinion
by Attorney General Gregory of the
United States, delivtred to d. II. Line
baugh, United States district at
torney here, holds that all deeds
taken to full-blood Indian lands
through the courts wherein a pre-
vious consideration paid was a part
of the transfer price, may be set
aside. The district attorney will
begin Immediately a test suit.
There are said to have been thou
sands of cases where deeds We're
taken to land that was not alien
able, and a sum of money paid on
the transaction. Later, to perfect
title, these lands were resod to the
same parties through the courts,
the purchaser paying an additional
sum sufficient to make the total equal
to the value of the land as fixed by
appraisers appointed by the court.

crease of 10000 bales as compared
with March, 1911. For eight months
| August to March Inclusive, consump-
tion was less than 100000 bales ha
hind the corresponding period gear
ago, which far exceeded earlier gem
eral expectations Then, too, further
optimism was engineered by the an
nouncement that the British govern
ment had decided against placing
cotton on the contraband list as it
was felt that the military advantages
of such a step were insufficient to
render it eXpedient. Furthermore,
Bradstreet reported that southern
business was improving daily and
that the recovery was extending all
over the south, the prediction being
made by one of the reporters of this
agency that the fall trade would be
the best evtr known. Lastly, the
strength in the stock market had
reflex action on cotton, as it was ar
gued that this indicated an industrial
boom throughout the country. in
which cotton would undoubtedly par
ticipate. Although general sentiment
is unQuestionably of decidedly bull
ish character, it would appear to the
careful observer that the market for
the time being at least had reached
stage where the utmost conserva-
tism should be shown in making pur-
chases. Many of the bullish factors
which are developing now are actual
ly responsible for the advance which
has already taken place: for instance
the increase in domestic consump-
tion was predicted in these advices
weeks ago and stress was laid upon
this phase as one of the construct
i've forces in the situation. This is

MADE A MAN OF HIM
The Miracle Worker Of the Sing

In Sing Sing prison there died this
week a murdered who was serving
a life sentence. Fort thirteen years
he was the worst convict among all
the wicked, desperate men in that big
prison, which is filled with the scum
of the New York slums. He was a
veritable hero of evil"
And ye, beside his open grave
the warden Of the prison stood, with
barred head, and with tears on his
cheeks, and said, pointing to the

Kindness worked Il miracle in the
character of Canada Blaclie," the
convict. II regenerated him, changed
the vengeful, hating, murderous
brute into a gentle, grateful man with
heart as simple and tender as that
of child.
Thomas Mott Osborne the warden,
was the miracle-worker. When he
took charge of Sing Sing prison he
was warned to look out for Canada
Blackie," the man killer. This lr-
corrig,ble convict was in a dungeon
because, in an attempt to escape, he
had crippled guard for life.
one of the first acts of the new
warden was to take Canada Blackie'
out Of the solitary dungeon 20 the
sunlight of the prison yard. 1t WAS
the first time in twelve yaers hat he
had looked into the open sky, that he
had stepped on the grass of the yard.
The warden took his arm and
walked and talked with him there.
1t was the first time in twelve years
that any man had spoken kindly to
him lie could not understand II, at
first, but when he did, when the war
den told him he was going to be kind
to him, and trust him, and give him
down and wept.
He was a human being, after all, 4
man with heart that could be reach
ed, and the new warden found it,
and this is what the warden said at
his grave;
Might and day from the first tint
that he stepped forth into the sun
light John f. Murphy, that was Can
ada Elacliie's' real name, was the
strongest force for good among the
prisoners of Sing Sing. 1t was he
who said to the men, disposed to
make trouble with the new system
"'Don't you see the whole bust
ness is altered? You'd tell your pals
anything that would be good for them
to know wouldn't you? Well, now
the warden's one OF our pals and you
must go straight with him."
The change in Canada Blackie"
is only one of many miracles brought
about by the kindness of Warden
Osborne In telling of his new system
in a speech in New York recently
he said
'ln the conduct of our prisoners
We have been playing the fools part
heretofore We have flown in the
face of every rule laid down by the
great founder of our religion We
have punished in spirit of revenge
we want now to use plain common
sense in prison management, and that
is Just the Golden Rule"
Warden Osborne pleaded for indie

wanted the prisoners paid a decent
wage for their labor; he wanted pris,
on farms instead of 3-foot finch cells,
where the state breeds tuberculosis
he wanted decent clothing for his
prisoners; he wanted night schools
He wanted the Golden Rule applied
