ney general for an opinion on the collec
tion of these royalties as well as other
royalties in the Cherokee nation, setting
forth in his letter the rules and regula
tions that had been prescribed bovern
ing the same. The question arose as to
whether the allottees who are in posses
sion of land not exceeding their allot
ments could sell hay and ship it out
of the notion without being subject to
such tax.
"The opinion of the attorney general
Is that they canot. That is the nation
has the right to collect such a tax on
all hay shipped out of the nation, re
gardless of whether it cames from the
land in possession of an individual allot
tee, on land not exceeding the number
of acres to which he is entitled as an al
lottee, and it must be paid to some offi
cer of the government as prescribed in
the rules governing the same.

BARN IS BURNED.
Incendiarism Seems to Be the Only
Reasonable Explanation.
Medicine L,odge, Aug. 12. A. M. Fouch's
barn In "Valley township was consumed
by fire last Wednesday night. He lost
about 200 bushels of Oats, some wheat,
a horse and harness, besides the barn
which was a good one.
Mr. Fouch resides near Isabel. The
peaople in the city and vicinity suspect
that the community is infested with
somebody -who is bent on mischief. A
few weeks ago fire was set to the grain
elevator in Isabel but was discovered
in tlm eto put it out. An examination
revealed the fact that it had been satua
ated In places with oil. There seems to
be no hypothisls on which the origin of
the fire at Mr. Fouch's can be based
and it Is the general belief of tho neigh
borhool that it is a case of incendiarism.

OPPOSES MOB VIOLENCE
More Law Promptly Applied
Is His Remedy.
Chautauqua. N. T., Aug. 12. Rev. Dr.
Dean Richmond Babbitt, rector of the
church of the Epihany, Brooklyn, an-
swered John Temple Graves of Georgia, '
in an elaborate address today at the '
Chautauqua assembly on lynchings and j
mobs from an American standpoint. Dr. !
Babbitt's address was the chief one of
today on mobs. He contrasted the view
of lynching justified by Dr. Graves, with
what he called the "Moore general and
the better view of the American nation
and showed the prevalence and increasing
violence of the mob spirit, its tendency i
to leap the color line and to lynch for '
minor offences, than for rape and murder !
He dwelt on the psysiology of the mob j
and gave the Wilmington lynching of the '
negro White as typical and denounce 1
the officials who refused to protect any 1
prisoner of any color for any crime. He
paid a glowing tribute to order and law j
as represented in Governor Durbin and
Governor Yates of Indiana and Illinois, j
respectlfully and upheld President Roose. j
velt In his recent dletter on lynching.
Lynchers, the speaker declared were plain ,
brutal savage murders and should be
treated by the authorities and all worthy
to bear tho name of American citizens.
"More morality, less prejudice, stricter
law quickly applied, fair play to negro
and white both the race question and the
mob problem will assume less dangerous
dimensions,' said Dr. Babbitt in conclu
sion. WARRANTS ISSUED.
Sixteen Men Are Charged With Arson
at Idaho Springs.
Denver, Aug. 12. A special to the news
from Idaho Springs, Col., says:
Warrants for the arrest of 16 men
charged with complicity to commit arson
were issued by magistrate J. L. Morris
this afternoon at the request of Special
Prosecutor Ralph Talbot, appointed today
at Georgetown by Judge Owers. The
men are all members of the local miners
unin and the warrants are the result
f the blowing up of the transformer
house of th Sun and Moon mining com
pany recently. Eleven of the men named
were present in tho court room at the
time and wkere immediately placed un
der arrest. At the request of prosecutor
Talbot preliminary hearing was set for
August 19. The attorney for the miners
demanded an immediate hearing and
fought request for a postponment vigor
ously. Upon the suggestion of Mr. Tal
bot all the men were released on $500
bonds. Prosecutor Talbot tlso withdrew
all other charges against the men with
the exception of two placed under arrest
at the scene of the explosion on the night
the transformer house was destroyed and
who are charged with the actual com
mission of the act.
ON LEDGE OF ROCKS.
Battleship Massachusetts Has Found a
New Rock.
Bar Harbor, Me. Aug. 12. While leav
ing the harbor during a thick fog about
noon today, in company with other ves
sels of the North Atlantic squadron, the
battleship Massachusetts sustained con
siderable damage by striking on the ledge
of rocks off the western end of Egg
Rock. The big vessel slipped over the
rocks Into deep water, but the two for
wark bulkheads soon filled and it was
subsequently found by divers, who ex
amined her hull, that several plates for
ward had been cracked. The Massachu
setts was headed back into the harbor
with difficulty, accompanied by her sister
vessel, the Indiana, and the gunboat
Scorpion. She will remain here until
Captain Manning, her commander, re
ceives orders from Washington, when It
is expected that she will proceed to
Brooklyn to be dry docked.
At the time the accident happened, the
squadron, which is under command of
Rear Admiral Barker and which has
been on this part of the coast engaged
in a war game, was bound for Long Isl
and sound, where there will be exercises j
previous to an Inspection and review next i
Monday by President Roosevelt, Secre- (
tary Moody and Admlray Dewey.
It is believed that the accident was due ,
to a miscalculation of her position on ,
the part of the navigation officer. Whn
the big battleship struck she was going "
at the rate of about nine and one-ha f
knots an hour. Captain Manning said
tonight that he could have proceed
with the rest of the fleet, but thought it
was wisest to return so that the Massa
chusetts could be dry docked for repairs.
It is expected that she will be In trim f
when here orders are received to sail.
She will proceed to the Brooklyn navy
yards, probably under her own steam,
and will be dry docked, so that the full
extent of her damage may be ascertained.
