@ APVLPA, Okia.o April I3.-R. e.
~ Allen, Creek tribal attorney Tues.
day afternoon filed in the district court
Of Creek county q sensational suit 1m-
plicating prominent business men OF
Muskogee, Okmulgee and Tulsa In
what is alleged To be an attempt at de-
Srauding an Indian Of oil property
fights IN the Gushing field.
The suit Is O.er the Katie FiXicO
allotment. valued at sl.0OO.o0O. cOno
tanning four wells producing a tOtai
Of 5000 barrels of oil per dayo
According TO Judge Allen. Katie
TiNico, fullbl0od Creek Indian. ins
heIited the land from her brother,
Benoche FiXico. who died'in 1907. Tho
girl is an ordinary Indian maid and Is
entirely ignorant of money values. ac-
cOrdinJ to Allen. William +. Morton
was her guardian.
The girl reached her ma iority- Feb
ruary 10, 1915, and Morton ceased TO
be her guardian. Upon the date Of
her eighteenth birthday, according to
the petition, Katie FiXico was taken to
Ollmulgee by her cousin, Maiaskc
Scott and was directed to he otL.'e
Of William Morton. The girl is al.
legged to have been unaware that she
had reached her majority
w. =. Morton, who is a merchant Of
Oknlulgee, in partnership with his
brother, Walter w. Morton is alleged
to Lave directed the girl to 90 to Mus
kpeec to meet Walter Morton aud az
other brother O. A. Morton, an attOr.
ney Of Tulsa.
The girl followed the directions of
p1i 10
here by Malaske Scott and Sam
Haynes. The three are alleged to have
gone to the office Of IL. r. Denton,
MuSkOgee real estate man, where
deeds a bill of sale and other papers
conveying all the royalties, the oil and
the gas leases of the land were signed
by the girl.
Walter Morton is alleged to have
taken a bill of sale conveying to him
all the royalties on the oil and gas in
return for which he was to pay $22,-
500, payable in installments amount
ing to 60 per cent of the royalty de-
rived from the oil and gas on the land.
A sum of $4,000 was at once deposited
by Morton in tho First National bank
at Okmulgee, according to Allen, pay
able to Katie FiXieo.
Allen points out that as a result of
the bill of sale sixty per cent of her
own royalties is paid to Katie FlXlco
and forty per cent of the royalties goes
TO Morton until the entire $22, 500 is
paid over to the girl and then the en-
tire amount of the royalty goes to
Morton. The Creek attorney shows
that by keeping all her royalty to her
self. the girl would have accumulated
s22, 800 in forty per cent shorter time
or in almost one-half the period which
will be required by Morton's INSTALL
ments and that thereafter she would
still maintain the full right to the
royalties.
H. Il. Denton is alleged to have re-
ceived leases on the million dollar al
lotment for which he paid the sum of
$1,000. Malaske Scott acted as inter
prefer in both cases.
The government, in this suit, will
also bring up a question for settle
ment which is vastly important to oil
men of the state. Creek Tribal At

RENARD EVADES FIRE
British Craft Pcnctratcs Dardaneilcs
Ten Miles On Exploit.

LONDON, April 14-(2;12 a. M
Reuters Tenedoes correspondent,
telegraphing on Tuesday says:
The British torpedo boat destroyer
Renard entered the Dardanelles yes
terday on a scouting mission and ran
up the straits at high speed for more
than 10 miles, penetrating the water
way probably further than any of the
British ships have yet done. a heavy
fire was directed at her but the de-
stroyer was not hit.
THE British battleship London,
which followed the Renard into the
straits drew most of the enemy's fire.
The batteries on the Asatic side, es-
pecialIy the howitzers behind Eren-
keui, were active but those on the
European side were quiet, Possibly
the Turks have withdrawn part of
their artillery on the European side
in order to be able to mass it quickly
at any spot the allied armies may
choose for a landing.
"The battery bombarded by the
Triumph Saturday apparently is per
manently out of action.
"The weather is rainy and murky,

NOT AVAILABLE
Fund Provided for Use in
Fiscal Year Ending

Special to The World
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 13.-Rel-
ative to the question of the availability
of the 5000 appropriated by the leg
islature for defending the two-cent
passenger fare Governor Williams has
\, ritten the attorney general asking for
an opinion on the subject. Jack
Love, chairman of the corporation
commission, is of the opinion that the
appropriation will not be available
after June 80 next, stating as his rea-
son the wording of the act which
specifics the fund for use for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1915.
Governor Williams, in his letter 10
the attorney general, Is inclined to
the belief that such construction
cannot be placed on the act, ana says:
Governor Disagrecs.
"t'nder all rules of construction of
constitutional provisions, according to
my judgment, this appropriation will
be available for two and one-halt
years after it was made by the legis-
lature. In cases whore an appropria-
tion is made to pay the expenses Of
state government during "A certain
year such appropriation can be used
only for expenses incurred or con-
tracted for within that fiscal year. But
in this case the appropriation Is made
for a certain specific purpose without
any limitation except that put on 1t
by the constitution, which is that the
appropriation must be used within two
ana one-h half years.
"The language Of the act clearly
shows that it is contemplated that
after July I, 1915. 1t will be available
in behalf of the state In addition to
that, this appropriation is available

tion commission may make relative 20

clear enough to cover the defense Of

to make bedding much cheaper than

big mattress makers,
"The cry of 'unsanitary materials
was raised by the furniture dealers
when the law came before the legis-

"The hair, felt or whatever mate
rial is found in a secondhand mat
tress is cleaned thoroughly and then
subjected to an application of
strong disinfectant, which renders
the material more sanitary than that

scented.

ARREST. OF DEALER BRINGS
MATTRESS LAW TO SHOWDOWN

MATTRESS LAW 10 SF1OWDOWN
When the big furniture houses of
Chicago wanted to throw every little
secondhand mattress maker out of
business they sent Atty Albert G.
Miller to Springfield. Miller came
back from the legislature with law
which prohibits the sale of mattress
es made from secondhand material.
Very good for the big furniture
dealers. All secondhand mattresses
under this law would be thrown away
and people would have to buy brand
new ones from the furniture dealers.
One containing only new material
would cost about twice as much as
made-over mattress. The people paid,
the little dealer lost and the big stores
gained.
But the mattress law ran into
snag on it's first trip through the
municipal courts. Oscar Weiner, sec
ond-hand furniture dealer of South
Halsted st., was arrested for offering
to sell a mattress which contained
secondhand ticking.
The case came up before Judge
Harry Fisher. Atty Miller, who had
lobbied for the bill, insisted on aiding
Asst States Atty Harry Bailey in
prosecuting the case. He presented
a brief asking for fine.
Judge Fisher ruled that although
he thought the law unconstitutional
and confscatory he would fine Wei
ner $25 and costs and let the supreme
court reverse his decision. Municipal
court judges do not like to declare
laws unconstitutional,
So the supreme court OF Illinois is
reviewing this workmanship of Miller
and the big furniture dealers. A rul-
ing against the law is expected.
Atty Elijah Zoline, retained by
Weiner, the secondhand furniture
man, told Judge Fisher of the absurd
ity of the mattress law.
