Many Supreme courts have ruled
that it was proper for corporations
to use their money in this way, and
it is a paying investment for any cor
poration that employs labor.
The Jefferson Standard Life Insur-

found two with incipient tuberculosis

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23.-Fur-
ther details of the intrigue that Joined
German consular officials I'm Chicago,
other American cities and Pacific is
lands ports, with Hlndus and adYcn-
turers, in an alleged conspiracy TO
foment revolution against British rule
in India, were revealed today in the
United States district court when
Sukumar Chatterji took the stand
again for the government in the trial
of "a men charged with conspiracy.
Chatterji, a Brahman native of Ben
gal, shed light on q journey to China
that he made in the interests of the
conspiracy. In Manila, he testified,
he was given a letter which had
originated in the German consular
office there. This bore u queer in

Jodh Singh identified himself in
Annoy by showing a copy of the in
scription, the witness testified. and he
later told him the letter had been
safely delivered to the German consul
at Annoy, China, Chatterji testified.
A man by the name of Boehm ap-
peared to be active in the conspiracy
at Manila, Chatterji said. When this
man ran short of funds, he asked the
German consul at Manila to wire the
German consulgeneral at Chicago for
for more money, which, Chatterji said.

ROME, Nov. 2S.-Between the
Brenta and Piave rivers in the Italian
theater, the Italians and the Teutonic
allies are still at deadly grips with the
enemy cndeavoring to break thru to

ing Is of particularly sanguinary ma
ture, the troops frequently meeting In
hand-to- hand encounters and posi-
tons often changing hands.
The enemy everywhere is throwing
masses of men against the Italians,
and the losses IN men killed, wounded
or made prisoners have been ex-
tremely heavy. 1t seemingly is the
of the invaders to break out
upon the plain before the expected
British and French reinforcements ar

have been without avail. Compare

STATE CONCLUDES IN
) JESS LITTRELL CASE
Alleged Slayer of Deputy
Sheriff at Castle on Trial
in Okfuskee Court.
Special TO The World.

Special to The World.
OKEMAH, okla, Nov. o3.-The
trial of Jess Littrell, alleged bank
bandit charged with the murder of
Deputy Sheriff l.. NJ. Boulware of
Castle, has been in progress In SUI
perlor court of this county since Mon
Gay and the state will conclude its
evidence at a night session tonight.
Deputy Sheriff Boulware was killed
on the morning of January IS of this
year near Boley In this county i'm a
tight between Okfuskee county Off
GERS and Jess Littrell and Russell
Tucker. who are supposed to have
been implicated in the robbery of the
First National bank of Harrah. which
occurred on January ~. Russell
Tucker was killed in the battle ana
Jess Iittrell was wounded and cap
tured.
Littrell was tried at the September
term OF superior court at this place
but the jury failing 90 agree the case
resulted in. a mistrial. Since the trial
OF Iittrell here IN September he has
been convicted OF bank robbery in
Oklahoma county and given a sentence
OF 20 years In the penitentiary and has
also been arrested for shooting and
wounding Joe Layton, a deputy sher-
iff OF Oklahoma City. He has also
am ested in Nowata county on charges
OF murder and bank robbery. Owing
to these iacts the trial here has at
tracted statewide attention and a
regular venire Of 35 men was ex-
hausted and two extra venires con-
sisting of 72 men. were summoned be-
fore the jury was completed. The
Okfuskeo county officers were seeking
to arrest Littrell and Tucker without
ary description Of the men, which
made II necessary for the state to con-
meet the defendant with the Harrah
bank robbery and also with the fight
with Oklahoma county officers In
which Deputy Sheriff Layton was
wounded and that the Okfuskee
county officers had information that
two men supposed to be wanted for
the crimes were passing thru this
county in order to establish the fact
that the officers who killed Tucker
and wounded and captured Littrell
were acting within the law.
The theory of the defense Is that
the officers were acting on insuffi-
cient information that the arrest was
Illegal and that they opened fire on
Tucker and Littrell without giving
them an opportunity to surrender
and that Boulware was accidentally
killed by shots fired by members Of
tho sheriff's posse.

PRODUCERS BALK AT ORDER

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-Oklaho-
ma coal operators were threatened by
Fuel Administrator Garfield today
with government seizure and opera
ton of their mines If they permit pro-
duction to halt pending action on their
demand for higher prices.
The producers had notified Mr.. Gar
field they could not pay wage increases
asked by. the miners unless they are
given more than the As cents a ton
increase retroactive to November /,
as directed by the fuel administration.
The wage agreement has heen un-
der discussion for several weeks and
was adopted by the miners only after
Doctor Garfield had threatened to-
take drastic action to end strikes. The
point at issue was the clause insisted
on by the fuel administrator penaliz-
ing strikes and lockouts.
The operators sent to Doctor Gar
field with their demand for higher
prices copy of resolutions adopted
10y the oklahoma Coal Operators as
sociation which said they would not
pay the wage raises until the fuel
administrator grants to us an increase
in the selling price of coal sufficient
10 cover the same with reasonable
profit"
Doctor Garfield replied today:
81 will not consent to change the
decent increase to cover the increase
Of wages. If, as a total result, you
are unable to operate at profit, the
way 10 proceed Is to file statement
here showing your 1916 costs and your
1917 costs, month by month, and
meanwhile keep the mines in opera
ton. Alternative will be to turn over
mines to me for operation pending
determination Of e costs. In other
words. the only way the relation of
Increase in wages to increase allowed

coal can now be adjusted is by show
ing actual labor costs in conjunction
with total costs as compared with
earlier periods indicated. In no cir

United States Is Building Mammoth
Tanks for Use by Sammies in France

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23. - Tanks
for the American army are expected
to be as effective in every way as
those used by the British in their great
drive. II was learned today, altho no
details of construction or as TO the
number of machines ,ning built were
available. Secretary Baker refused to
discuss the subject. either in general
or specific terms. There is every rea-
son to believe. however. that substan-
tial progress has been made in pro-
ducing fighting machines that en-
body all that the British and French
armies have learned of this type of
war engine.
IL Is an open secret that some Amer
lean officers have not, up to this time,
at least. regarded the tanks as highly
desirable for the American forces In
view cf the difficulties OF transporta-
tion and the ponderous character Of

times holding up the advance OF the

also showed f0ndness of plowing

HENRY ALLEN TO

Noted Kansas Publisher, Back
From the Front, Will
Speak in Tulsa.

One OF the most forceful and un-
usual war messages yet heard In Tulsa
will be delivered Monday afternoon.
Henry !. Allen, the noted Wichita
editor and speaker, Just back from
the front, will speak at Convention
hall Monday afternoon at o'clock at
n public meeting.
He will arrive here tomorrow night
with national Red Cross officials, who
are coming to attend n conference

Rogers Kemp, in charge of local Red
Cross activities, Is authority for the
statement that MT Aliens address

Visited France and Italy.
Mr.. Allen. who publishes the
Wichita Beacon, recently completed n
commission in France and Italy as
delegate inspector for the American
Red Cross. He III returned to Amer
lea with q wealth ~ intimate informa-
tion which l,s gathered in the course
of his traven over the war zone. He
is now delivering q series of lectures
to tell the American public just what
the American Red Cross Is doing in
Europe.
Unusual privileges for inspection of
closely guarded districts were ex-
tended to Mr.. Allen by the authorities
and his way made easy along many
paths barred to the mapority of visi
tors. When in Italy, in company with
Medill Mccormick, he was granted n
personal interview with King Victor
Emanuel. who talked freely with the
which the war has brought upon that
country.
Saw Every Phase.
In France Mr.. Allen inspected the
front in company with Mai. Grayson
NJ. Z. Murphy. head Of the American
Red Cross commission to France.
Hospital and ambulance service and
all other Red Cross activities In France
were freely thrown open to his ex-
so that when he returned
to this country he might tell the peo-
pie here what he found.
So comprehensive was the investi-
cation of Mr.. Allen that he returned
home with thoro knowledge of what
is going on in Europe. such as few
men in the United States have had
an opportunity to gain by first-hand
experience.
The meeting at Convention hall
afternoon will be free, and
men and women in all walks OF life
are urged to attend.
