The death rate OF persons In Okla.
homa who are encountered With world
ly goods is very low, thinks Hubert
L. Holen, collector of internal revenue.
Mr.. Bolen had no appreciation Of the
extreme lowness OF It until after the
passage Of the federal inheritance tax
law. Since the law went into effect.
September 8, no report in accordance
with the requirements has been made.
The law requires that the executor
or administrators Of any estate shall,
within thirty days after he is duly
qualified make report to the col
lector Of internal revenue of the dis
trict where the decedent lived at the
time OF his death. All estates Of resi-
dents Of the United States shall be re-
ported when the gross amount of the
estate exceeds 100000. In the case OF
non-residents, the entire amount of the
decedents holdings in the United
States shall be reported.
Tax 10 Graduated.
From the gross estate a specified
number of expenses are deducted.
Payment Of the tax begins at net es-
tates Of $4,000, and runs as follows:
One percent Of net estates not in sx-
cess Of $4,000.
Two percent Of the amount by which
such net estate exceeds $4,000 and does
not excel $4,000.
Three percent OF the amount by which
such net estate exceeds $50, 900 and does
not exceed $4,000.
Four percent Of the amount by which
such net estate exceeds 325o.ooo and does
not exceed $450.0o0.
Five percent Of the amount by which
ouch net estate exceeds $3.50, 900 and does
not exceed 100000.
Six percent Of the amount by which
such net estate exceeds 100000 and
does not exceed 100000.
Seven percent Of the amount by which
such net estate exceeds 100000 and
does not exceed $4,000. 900.
Eight percent Of the amount by which
such net estate exceeds 34,000,000 and
does not exceed S5.000.000.
Nine percent Of the amount by which
does not exceed S5,o0O.Oo0.
Ten percent Of the amount by which
such net estate exceeds $4,000, 900.
Failure 10 pay the tax within ninety
days after It is due entails q penalty
of 10 per cent year interest from
the time Of the decedent's death on
the total amount Of the tax, unless
necessary delay prevents the collector
from determining the true amount of
the tax, in which case the penalty is
6 per cent until the cause Of delay is
removed.

Safe Resisted Robbers.

Tulsa.-Vsin efforts were made

Minimum Weight Hearing is Set.

Application of carriers for permits
sion to increase the minimum weight
on car load lots of grain products from
$4,000 to 10000 pounds has been sci
for hearing before the corporation
commission on November IA. Such a
change, it is urged by the carriers,
would tend to relieve the present con.
gested condition Of grain products
movement in Oklahoma. In some in
stances, it is said, only about one-half
the capacity Of cars is taxed for the
transportation of grain products.

DEUTSCHLAND ISREADY TO MAKE DIVE TODAY Provisions and Crew Aboard for Transatlantic Hide
 and Seek.

New London, Nov. 1.-The Ger man undersea merchantmen Deutsch- land ready to proceed to sea for it's return voyage to, Germany was still tied up at the state pier, under shelter of the steamer Willehad this fore noon. There were no signs of an inn mediate departure. No information was obtainable from reliable source as to the probable time of sailing. Rumors spread that the Deutschland would leave in the early afternoon and many persons went to the pier. There was nothing to see.
 The impression received was that the craft would sail when the right moment came, and that probably would be down the harbor before those on shore were aware of the fact of departure.
 The Deutschland is ready to leave. It was provisioned yesterday and the crew are aboard. Captain Koenig has the choice of three courses to reach the Atlantic ocean. One would be through the race at Long Island Sound entrance, and either of two which would put his craft into waters near Martha's Vineyard. No word was brought in today which indicated that any patrol board of a foreign power was off the coast of Southern New England.

TO CLEAR COURT ROOM
Police to Take Extra Precautions When Jury Reports in Case of For mer New York Commissioner,

New York, Nov. 11.--After a trial lasting over month, the case of Michael A. Rofrano, former deputy street cleaning commissioner, charged with melting the murder of Michael Gairmari probably will be submitted to the jury late this afternoon. The prosecution was expected to complete it's summing up by noon, after which Justice Weeks, before whom the case was tried will make his charge.
 The police took extraordinary pre- cautions today to avoid any outbreak in the court room when the verdict is rendered. It was expected then that every one except court attend ants, lawyers and reporters would be excluded from the room when the jury announced that it had reached a decision.
 Gaimari, who was shot to death March g, 1915, was political lieuten- ant of Thomas Foley, Tammany leader.
 Gaetano Montimagnel was convict ed of having been the actual assail- ant and is under sentence of death at Sing Sing prison. It was at his trial that a witness gave testimony duplicating Rofrano as the person who, at conference, has been repre- sented as desiring Gairmari's death.

 Berlin, Nov II, (By Wireless to Sayville) Berlin newspapers pub- fish a statement from "competent military auth orities'' to the effect that the Anglo-French drive on the Somme has been halted by the ex- haustion of the Entente troops and their heavy losses, and by unfavor- able weather. The statement says:
 After the tremendous losses sus- tained by the British and French on November 5, when they employed six British and four and one half French divisions without success in an at- tempt to break our front.
