expected to pack the little court
house here when her trial is held

The young woman, IL was indicated
today, had no desire to avenge her
self on the man now dead who In

in love with him no one here doubts.
But 1t was also made clear that

trial as witnesses men who stand for
wealth and power in the Southwest.
This case. which has excited nation
wide interest. may shake Oklahoma
with its revelations and send rever-
berations into high places outside; 1t
may develop into dramatic battle
between two women--one hghting
for liberty-the other fighting to de-
fend the name her children bear

more than a perfunctory court pro-

At S45 A TON
Shipping Board Member offers
Resolution Setting Price on
U. S. Commerce Vessels.

Guy ID. Con-, commissioner OF the
United States Shipping Board, has
offered resolution to the Shipping
Board that the top price OF steel
cargo boats owned by the board be
fixed at s+6 a lightweight ton. plus
so per cent thereof with the allow
ance to purchasers for depreciation
or D per cent per annum for the time
the boats have been in the water.
This resolution was incorporated m
published pamphlet which was Of
fered TO the board, January 3, by Mr.
Con. and made public yesterday by
Martin j. Gillen. former special as
sistant to the chairman OF the board
Mr.. Golf asked that all contracts
made with pioneer purchases OF Ship
ping Board boats be recalled and re-
written on the basis of the new prices
suggested; that all profit made on
these boats while in the hands OF
the purchasers be taken by the gov
eminent, and that they be paid a SER
vice charge for management of the
boats. The new prices are suggested
TO go into effect as OF February D,
1921.
In placing the price at si5 per dead
weight, plus 80 per cent thereof. Mr.
Gillen explained taht 1t has been MS
sumed that the standard cost OF liV-
ing Is 80 per cent higher than when
the ships were built at S45 per deed
weight. the peace-time price Of con
struction. This assumption. he said.
was made on the basis of statistics
which have been compiled by himself
and Mr.. Golf.
Furthermore, Mr.. Gillen stated that
he believed this so per cent incro aSe
would be maintained for some time,

These arc some Of the Indispensable
things to be done by the new Secre-
tary OF the Treasury.
The markets are directly connected
with a sound Treasury policy. And
by this I mean, not only the price Of
commodities, but tho rise and fall Of
securities mud tho rates of interest
for money. The markets are the
pulse for the producer. distributor
and consumer. They affect farmer,
banker. railroads and jobber alike.
To relieve the farmer we ought to
leave alone as nearly as possible the
markets for breadstuns and meats.
By this I mean that we ought not to
try to regulate by legislation the law
Of supply and demand in domestic af-
fairs. The Importance Of farm
products. including live stock or
meats, is doing the fnrmer no good.
especially as our export trade is fall
ing off alsrmingly.
