INCREASED FEE NO BARRIER
High rilng Charge DoSn't Keep
Cases out of supreme Court.
Specialize The World.

Special TO The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Dec. When
the legislature passed the law In 1915
changing the filing fee for cases in
the supreme court from Slj to $40, 1t
was argued that this would prevent
many cases from being brought To the
court. The new law went into effect
on March 6. 1915. ana since that time
1851 cases have been filed up 10 the
rrcsep time. This is 100 more cases
for Tn same length of time the year
before when the fee was only Sl5.
There has been some agitation to have
the coming legislature change the fee

ALLIED NOTE READY

Will BE Dispatched Early Next

Bulky Than Proposal.

LONDON. Dee. 29.-As result Of
the conferences which have been in
progress for several days. the entente
reply TO the German note is now com
plcted. 1t could 20 forward today or
tomorrow except for the necessary
iormality of transmitting II to all the
allies before final delivery. This
means that the delivery will he made
early in or the middle of next week,
perhaps on Wednesday.
The delivery viii be made at Paris.
after which the communication will
be forwarded to Germany thru
American channels.
Reply Very Lengthy.
The reply is very long document,
much longer than the German note.
This point has been one of the mat
tcrs of discussion during the con-
ferences, the objection having been
raised that 1t is too long and should
be short and sharp. But there were
such complete difference of concep-
tion of the objects and purposes for
which the two sides went to war that
IL was found desirable To extend the
note to considerable length.
The presence here of Alexandra
Ribot. the French finance minister,
permitted the French ministry to be
represented during the conference.
May satisfy America.
Unusual optimism is shown here as
"a result of the final form which the
reply has taken, which is believed to
be such that 1t will meet with satisfac-
ton at Washington.
The reply to the American note will
follow within a few days after the
delivery OF the reply TO Germany.

his message refusing to ratifv the At

this suggestion. however. Is "A new APP
peal for recall OF the Pershing .xpc-
dition and "A declaration that such ao-
tion BY the United States would pei

tions within n week"
Nothing to Lose.
There were indications tonight that
tile American members of the COM

with the request for further confer
cnces on the ground that the United
States had nothing tn lose by doing So.

Wilson. Secretary Lane communiCat-
ed with DR.. J. r. Mott and Judge
George Gray, the other members o.
the American commission and theN
announced that they would meet here
Tuesday to determine whether further
Conferences shalt be held to discuss
the various questions at issue other
than the withdrawal of American

Carranza POINTS out in his reply that
cnCe that led To- the creatiCr of the
commission nor In the credentials and
instructions delivered 90 its members
that would preclude consideration Of
the many other subjects which the
commission made incidental to those
agreed upon IN the protocol. In effect
he suggests that the protocol he lail
aside for the present and tho work of
the commission be directed along
fresh channels
Altho the conditions imposed for
withdrawal of the troops were not to
his liking. he attempted TO make il
clear that his chief objection to ratify.
ing the document was not based upon
the conditions. but on the fact that he
could not conscientiously sign any
thing which would place him in the
position Of having appeared to sane
ton even for brief time the presence
in Mexico of foreign troops.
