ing before him. Under the law as
amended, the state would now be en-
titled to 10000 acres, as it had five
representatives and two senators at
the time of admission.
Arguments have been made in this
case both by Judge Spilman and Sen
ator Owen, but additional evidence
was required and will be furnished as
soon as the brief is printed.
The supplemental brief will contain
a great deal of information about the
agricultural schools of the state, pre-
pared recently by the state board of
agriculture. This part of the brief
shows that Oklahoma is expending
large sums for agricultural education,
but that additional funds can be used
to good advantage.
For the biennial period that will end
July l, 1917, the government has con-
tributed $300,05S to the agricultural
schools of the state, and the legisla-
ture has appropriated $416,75S. This
has been apportioned to the different
schools, the largest part of it going to
the A. & NJ. college at Saltwater.
The Cameron school at Lawton was
apportioned $4,000, the Conners
school at Warner s2S,OOO, the Connell
school at Helena. s29.5OO, the Has
iell school at Broken Arrow s2S,5O0,
he Murray school at Tishomingo, s29,-
!5S, the Panhandle school at GoodwelI
'29,75O, and the colored agricultural
school and normal at Langston, s74.-
80. In addition there was ap2ropri-
tied for this school from the state
1850 for support and maintenance
nd $4,000 for waterworks and a sew
II system.
If the secretary of the interior de-
!des adversely to the state, an appeal
'ill be taken to the supreme court OF
he United States.

LAND TITLES
DOWN BY JUSTICE TURNER-Tl-
TILE GIVEN BY MlNOR-LATER
CONFlRMED-IS VOID.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. 14.-One
of the most far-reaching decisions by
the supreme court in the matter of In
dian land titles was handed down by
Justice Turner in the case of Annie
Carteragainst the Prairie Oil and Gas
! Company and Sines w. Anthony and
Charles II. Anthony, appealed from
Creek County. Justice Turner revers-
ed the decision of the lower court and
held that titles taken from minor In
dians and later, after disabilities had
been removed by a majority confirmed
by them, are void. This will upset
great many titles in the Indian Terri
tory, for the practice has been gen
erai to secure titles in this manner.
In the instant case, an allotment was
sold by a minor and again sold to the
same parties by the same Indian after
majority, the price being nominal. The
Prairie Oil and Gas Company became
owner of forty acres of the allotment
by purchase from the original assignee
and it appears in the record that from
this forty acres the company named
produced oil to the value of $4,000 up
to few months ago.
The court says in this case:
"A citizens of the Creek Nation re-
ceived $500 of the recited considera-
tion of $4,000 on July 2, 1907, prior to
the removal of her restrictions, made,
executed and delivered deed to part
of her allotment. At the same time
she took back from the grantees their .
two promissory notes, one for $500 |
payable Aug. 8, 1907, and the other for .
81 800, payable Aug. 8, 1908, and agreed .
to meet them at the same place Aug. .
9, 1907, (which she did. There on that
day her restrictions being in the mean
time removed by operation of the law,
they took up both notes and took from
her another deed for the same land
which recited the same consideration"
1t is held by the court that, though
executed at different times, both deeds
we're evidence or part of one transac-
ion and should be construed togeth.
9r; that the first deed being void as
n fraud of the statute, the taint of
LEGALITY in that tainted the second,
md that the first deed being void and
he second deed tainted with fraud,
he subsequent purchaser took no IT,

SCHEMES

THE PEOPLE
FAkIRS IN FOUR YEARS HAVE
REAPED A HARVEST OF $685.

AMERICAN PEOPLE,.

Washington, oct. 14.-Fraudulent
schemes ranging from offers of $110
to girls for the use Of their photos
| in advertising a new brand of chew
ing gum to the sale of finger rings
supposed to cure everything from St.
Nitus' dance to adenoids, have swim
died the American public of more
than $239,OOOOOO during the last four
years, according to postoffice officials.
In an effort to reduce this whole
sale victimi2ing the postofGice depart
ment has issued ffty-six fraud orders
during the last year. The issuance
of such an order denies the person
named in it the use of the mails
THE number Of fraudulent schemes
has been greatly diminished" said j.
Julien Southerland assistant solicitor
of the postoffice department, who
passes on most of the fraud order
cases, but the records show that
during the last four years the
schemes suppressed had flched from
the public over $239,QOOOOO. One
concern had receipts of over $3.50, 900
last year. The promoter of a fake
anti-fat preparation spent $4,000 IN
a single month on advertising.
During the last four ye'rs the Ge-
partment has, had over $1,000 cases
involving fraudulent use of the mails.
and during that period has received
and answered about 100000 communi-
cations relating to fraudulent use of
the mails.
Last year investigations were un-
dertaken in 1000 cases, and over
10000 complaints and inquiries were
received"
During the Taft administration COM
1aratively few fraud orders were is
sued, it being the position of the chief
executive that persons guilty of yio-
ating the postal laws should be pros

1t was pointed out, however, that
egal delays of one sort and another
,ften made it possible to conduct a
fraudulent business for months and

ON THOUSANDS
Of BALLOONS
MAXIM HAS NOVEL PLAN
TO DEFEND LONDON AGAINST
THE RAIDS OF zEPPELINs, ENG
LAND'C sOGEC-MAN.

New York, Oct. 14.-"The Zeppelin
is a species of scarecrow. Count Yep
pelin is a sort of bogey-man-a black
Douglas!"
Thus did Hudson Maxim, high ex.
plosive and aeronautical expert on the
recently appointed United States naval
advisory board, pooh-pooh the latest
activities of the German airships.
When the famous inventor was asked
how he would fight the monster dirigi-
BILE ballons, he said:
81 would have a circle of captive
balloons around the entire city to
serve as signal stations. These bal
looms would be adapted to be raised
to any desired altitude and lowered at
will. | would have each balloon armed
with a machine gun and two or three
men.
Il would also have a platform on top
Of each balloon with an aeroplane
ready lOr lllSnI.
The balloons need not be raised to
the desired altitude except on the sig
nal of danger. Consequently, they
would not be up in the region of in
tense cold, and it would be only nee
essary to raise them into the region
Of cold when ready to do business.
"The Zeppelins, in order to attack
London, would either have to fly be-
tween, or over, or below this circle of
balloons, and could not fail to be seen
)r heard because at considerable al
-itude above the city the least sound
,an be heard at a great distance.A Yep /.
2elin could be heard coming long be-
ore it came within gun-fre.
Connected by Wireless.
Each balloon would be connected .
~ telegraph with all the other BAL
oOns, and with the earth, and at once,
IS soon as a Zeppelin was sighted, the
.yiators in the basket of each bal
oOn would climb upon their respective
eroplanes, launch the aeroplane-and
way after the Zeppelins.
"Of course the altitude of the Yep
elm could be determined first, and
he balloons would be Immediately
lised to the height occupied by the j
eppelin or Zeppelins, so that the aero i
lanes would not have to climb any ;
fter starting for the attack. t
In case of a high wind the bal t
ons could be lowered into a big cylin- t
rical shed; in other words drawn
Dwn like a jack-in-the-boX on the
'ound." :
Are the Zeppelins going to end the
arr was the next question | fired
Maxim.
mo, indeed, I would say, rather,
at the war is going to end the Zep,
lins."
"lf hundred zeppelins were to visit
'ndon each day, and kill a thousand
rsons, the loss would be less than
e birth rate.
We'll then, are aeroplanes going to
the deciding factor in the war?o
Is the final query.
Maxim shook his shaggy white head A
d answered:
The main deciding factor in the
II is going to be the workshop for
