Saved Time by Chastising the
Criminal on the
Spot.

TAlILECUAH. Okla. Dec. 9.-Up-
on the organization of the Cherokee
nation as IT body polite in the Indian
territory there were officers selected
for the various districts or counties
as they might be called. There were
judges, sheriffs and solicitors or pros
ecUting attorneys. who held office for
terms of two years each. Some of
these pioneer Indian officers were per-
sons OF ability and filled their posi-
tons ere ditably. notable among them
being several sheriifs.
one particularly noted sheriff was
Scquoyah Brown, who in the days
shortly before the civil war period,
Brown was brave and cautious Off
Ger ana never hesitated to 20 out in
quest of criminals, no matter how
dangerous they were reputed to be.
But the act which has caused his
name t. be particularly remembered
was when he constituted himself as
Judge jury and executor of the law.
a Cherokee. named cloud, who was
II gambler and of thieving propensi-
ties, had entered the store Of mer-
chant named Murrel. and stolen a
sum of money. lie got away from
town and made his way to the hills
cast of the Illinois river where he
deemed himself secure. Sheriff Brown
was ordered TO go in qdeS. of the thief
and lost no time in getting his horse
and setting out. He rode for some
miles ont in the rough country and
late in the afternoon, when II seemed
that he must give up the man-hunt

ONE CAUSE FOR HIGH co,
Illinois Dealers Evadc Dcmurrrrc
Charge by Ecconsigumcnts.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Important dis
coveries made by the Illinois public
utilities commission as TO the coal
sho.t taSe may result in the abolition
in Illinois of the reconsignment privi-
lege.
william l.. Mcconnell, chairman of
the commission, said today that the
commission was seriously considering
such a move, as the reconsignment
privilege enables coal dealers to keep
load"c ears on the tracks for weeks
u, time waiting for prices to adj
vance. By the simple eXpedient of
changing the name OF the consgnee
dairy demurrage charges are cvaded,
he said.
Investigators reported that four
hundred cars loaded with coal have
by this system been kept in the local
yards from ten days to three weeks.

pancy by May l, 1917;
Many Unique Features.
Gy KNIGHT DOUGLAs)

By May Tulsa's new federal
building will be complete.
I Costing approximately 100000,
this structure Will be one of the most
modern and complete ever erected
by the treasury department at IA cost
anywhere near the fund being ex-
pended on the Tulsa building.
In It will be found features seldom
selected for federal structures of no
greater size or costing as low as
100000. Among these will be a belt
conveyor from the mailing room to
the wOrkroom; hand-carved and
quarter-sawed judges bench, drawn
and solid bronze exterior windows,
four bronze light posts at the en-
frances costing $500 each, and nine
toilet rooms fitted in Tennessee
marble.
The original Appropriation for the
Tulsa federal building was $500. 600.
This sum was decreased AT the sug-
gcstion OF the secretary OF the treas
ury, after II was decided that the
building should he erected with a
facing of Bedford oolitic limestone
instead of Tennessee marble
- The building. which will be two
stories in height with basement. will
be 1+0 feet in length and l0S feet
In width, facing Boulder at the
intersection of Third. The contract
for the erection of the building was
let to Ieagcr Il Son of Danville, ILL.,.
and the contract for the plumbing,
heating and mechinical fixtures was
awarded to the Farwell Heating Il
Engineering Co. of Joplin.

one feature of this building which
has created no little comment among
men who are accustomed to working
on government buildings Is the large
look-outs which have been built into
the Tulsa building. These look outs
are so constructed, hanging from the
ceiling of the first floor that an in
spector, by entering them at any
point In the building. will be able to
make n complete survey of the en-
tire working staff in the office with
out being detected. The doors to
these look-outs can be opened by
masterkeys In the department The
Key that viii open the lookout door
OF the Tulsa office will open the door
OF the lookout in New York, Wash

The courtroom will be fitted in

judges bench, hand-carvcd The cell
DING In this room will be IN quarterod
OAK beams and the same wood will
be used To carry out the panel effect
in the courtroom and judges cham
bers.
The office Of the postmaster and
assistant postmaster on the first
floor will be fitted in mahogany, to
blend in color and tone with the fix
lures which will be installed.
The post office building was de-
signed by the treasury department
for accommodation of the post office
In Tulsa for ten years, and, even tho
more room was provided In the
building than was needed at the time
the plans were drawn, several
changes have been made and there
are but two offices in the building
that have not been assigned. with at
least Il dozen governmental offices
of this district seeking space.
Stone Measures Up.
one of the special features Of tho
erection of this building IS the close
ness with which each block of stone
used in its construction fits. This was
explained by w. j. Whytc, in charge
OF the work for Yeager & Son. Mr..
Whyte says that each one of the
pieces of limestone used in the build
ing was cut upon measurement, with
a maximum variance from measure
ment prescribed at ne-siXtecnth of
an irch.
There should not be a piece of
stone in the entire building that
varies from the measurements of the
plans and specifications by more than
onc-siXtecnth of an inch" he de-
clared Saturday.
THE stone company makes allow
ance of three -sixteenths for mortar
to be used in joining and a variation
Of more than onc-sXteenth of an inch
would readily be seem" he continued.
Altho the building contract called
for its completion by the middle of
June, it is the hope of the contractors
and Henry Brack, supervisor for the
department, that everything will be
in readiness for occupying IL by the
first of May.
