franchisement.

TN Tulsa county as well as all over
ers will begin tomorrow. A register has
been appointed for each county and
he, in turn. has named deputy in
every precinct. The deputies have
ten days, starting tomorrow, in which
to complete the registration. Every
voter who does not register during
this period will be disfranchised as
long as the present ridiculous law is
in effect.
The Republican organization of
Tulsa county has made elaborate
preparations to register the vote.
Rallies have been held during the past
week in many parts of the county.
Headquarters Opened.
Each committeeman will have
charge of the work in his own district.
County headquarters have been
opened in the Robinson Arcade, ard
committeeman are expected to report
there either in person or by phone
each night.

morrow and Tuesday. so that the

ragged ends.
Voters should keep in mind" said
Chairman A. A. Small of the county
central committee yesterday, that il
they fail to register now they Will
never again be allowed to vote in this
state, unless the present law is re-
pealed or otherwise done away with.
They should not wait for the registrar
to hunt them up but rather they
should look up the registrar. for many
of the officials will be hard to find,
as they do not seem to have any de-
sire to spend very much of their time
in the work. We have secured agree
ments from many of them to be at
certain places on certain dates, and
we will acquaint the voters i'm these
precincts with this information"
Information.
Anyone desiring information of any
kind on the registration should call
Republican county headquarters in
the Robinson Arcade. 1t is probably
that automobiles will be used in the
city of Tulsa to get the voters to the
registrars.

LEVY LIGHT FINE ON
INSURANCE CONCERN
Maryland Casualty Com
pany Found Guilty of
Violation of Law.

Special to The World
NKLAIlOMA CITY. April ga
" fine of $500 was placed against the
Maryland Casualty company. and its
certificates of authority to do bust
ness in Oklahoma are suspended.
pending payment of the fine in an
order made today by Insurance Com
missioner A. l.. WEIGH. The case re-
ceived "A full hearing before the COM
missioner a week ago. 1t involved
alleged violation of the oklahoma in
surance lows.
Complaint was made against the
insurance company by f.. A. SkipWith
During the year 1915 Skipwith. H.
Reville Jones and f. H. Furrey con-
Quoted what was known as the In
surance Agency company. and repre-
sented the Maryland company. The
legislature of 1915 passed what is
known as house bill 70 which revised
the insurance lows and created an in
surance board Among other provi-
sions it prohibited the division of in
surance commissions between resident
and nonresident agents, but required
that policies must be countersigned
by resident agent.
Issues Policies.
Following the law, according to
the showing reflected in the opinion
of the commissioner. the resident
agents refused to divide the commis-
sions with the nonresident agents at
points without the state. Then the
company issued policies and deliv-
cred them through nonresident agents
to persons and firms without the
state covering property located in
the state. These policies, it is said.
were issued without the signature of
local agent The company ex-
planned this was done on the theory
that the law was not applicable to
policies or contracts issued and de-
livered to nOnresidents of oklahoma
without the boundaries of the state.
In passing on the case, the COM
missioner said:
at is, however. clear from the evil
dence that the respondent company
has executed and issued and deliV-
cred contracts of insurance outside
of the state of Oklahoma which af-
fected and covered lives. property or
interests located in this state, and
this. i'm the opinion of the commits
sioner is authorized and required to
chapter 3S of the revised laws of
1910. which the insurance commis-
stone ris authorized and required to
determine. 1t follows that i'm the
opinion of the commissioner the in
surance company has failed to COM
ply with the laws of the state of Ok
lahoma."

Tribal Attorney Will BE
Fought Bitterly.
lHv IOuN W ELENNER.D !

VIZ ASHINGTON, April ga de-
w mand will be made within a
few days on Indian Commissioner
Cato Sells by members of congress
for the reports filed with the Indian
office by Inspector +. b. Linnen and
former Inspector Fred Cook. touch
ing the qualifications of Judge r. C.
Allen to succeed himself as Creek
ttribal attorney The calling for the
report will be but the opening gun in
IA campaign already launched against
the reappointment of Judge Allen this
summer.
The report made by S. NJ Brosius,
of the Indian Rights association. is
already in the hands of the congress-
man who will soon cali on Commis-
sioner Sells for the Linnen and Cook
reports. The Brosius report is said
to be decidedly unfavorable to Judge
Allen, while it is intimated that a Sec
ond report made by Inspector Linnen,
after "a reinvestigation of Aliens rec
ord, goes even farther than the
Brosius report.
Trouble Getting Him Over.
Il will be recalled that department
officials had considerable difficulty i'm
putting Judge Allen across for a sec
ond term as Creek attorney last sum
mer and it was only after weeks of
styenuous work that Chief Moty
Tiger was finally induced to consent
to reappointment. Even then, the
old chief, 1t is said. insisted that AL
lens appointment was personally OBJ
jectionable to him.
Judge Allen. 1t will be remembered
was another of Commissioner Sells
nd-picked appointees, which prob
ably accounts for the Muskogee mans
recent action in filing a lengthy brief
With the house Indian committee pro-
testing against the passage of the

tally, nc took pot shot at the mem-

Fight Certain.
That a fight against Aliens reap
pointment at Creek attorney will be
.h3he this summer now seems certain
! nd the calling for the Linnen and
Cook reports is merely a preliminary
skirmish in the fight that is coming.
In the event that Mr.. Sells fails to
comply with the request of the con-
gressman to forward copies OF the two
reports a resolution Will be introduced
in the house calling upon the commits
siOner to transmit the reports to con-
