POLICE UNO
WIFE DESERTER
DESERTS WIFE AND BABY AT
FT. SMITH AND LEAVES WITH
ANOTHER WOMAN.
Several days ago the local police
department were notified by the au
thorities of Fort Smith, Arkansas, to
le on the lookout for one Ralph How
ard, who was wanted thero for de
serting his wile and baby and taking
away mortgaged property.
Yesterday the vigilance of the po
lice was rewarded', and Howard was
arrested with Myrtle Merrttt, who
a-couipanied him, at a local wagon
yard where they were making head
quarters.
The authorities at Fort Smith were
notified, and Immediately wired to
hold them and an officer would be
here for them today.
In Howards pocket was a letter
from his wife in Fort Smith begging
him to give up the life that he was
leading and return to her and their
baby and all would be forgiven. The
letter was most appealing, well writ
ton and couched in good language.
Howard was held at the city jail
last night, and the woman was given
lolging in the county jail, nothing
will be done by the local authorities
until the officer arrives from Fort
Smith. It is not known whether How
ard will' resist returning to Arkansas
or not, but it is thought that he will
return without a requlsiion.
THE ROWELL CASE
Washington, !Nov. 28. .Secretary)
Ballinger filed in the district su
preme court today his answer to a
mandamus proceeding Which has
been instituted against him by Jas.
F. Rowell of Oklahoma, who claims
to be a full member of the Kiowa,
Comanche and Apache tribes of In
dians. ' I '
Ily an act of congress of June
7, 1910, the secretary of the inte
rior was directed to issue a patent
to Rowell as a full .momllier of those
tribes to 1G0 acres of land lying on
the outskirts of Lawton, Okla., it
being represented that Rowell had
never received an allotment of Ok
lahoma land, as other members of
the tribe had.
Rowell's action in the supreme
court of the district Is to comiel
the secretary to issue a patent.
Secretary Ballinger in his answer
sets forth that the preldent has Is
sued orders to the clerk in the
general land office who signs pat
ents In his name not to sign this
patent until after congress assem
bles and has had opportunity fur
ther to consider the special act
passed for Rowell's benefit. Secre
tary Ballinger further sets out that
the land involved rs worth at least
$50,000; that Rowell it a white man
claiming a right to allotment as
a imember of the Kiowa tribe by
reason of his marriage to an Indian
woman, and that Rowell was denied
enrollment by the Dawes commis
sion. The secretary further says
that the legitimate members of the
tribe have received allotments which
do not exceed in value $8,000, and
that Rowell concealed the true value
of the allotment he sought and In
duced congress to believe that the
alue was not in excess of the val
ue of the allotments made to the
Indians. The secretary ilso says:
"Not soon after said bill became a
law certain senators and certain
members of the house of represent
atives, including the chairman of the
house commitee on Indian affairs, re
quested the executive branch of
this government, including the pres
ident, not to issue said patent to
said relator until after congress had
reassemlhled and had opportunity to
Investigate and reconsider its ac
tion." Rowell has demurred to the an
swer on the ground that no execu
tive officer can refuse to obey the
provisions of congressional legisla
tion; that the special act does not
require the patent to be signed by
tho president or by any person Hra
Ignated by him; that any act of
concealment or misrepresentation
even if made to congress by Rowell
can not be set up or relied upon
as a defense.

CITY WILL
ISSUE BONDS
JUDGE RUSSELL DIRECTED
BONDS TO BE ISSUED IN DIS
TRICT COURT THIS MORNING.
Outstanding Indebtedness against
the city can be funded by issuing
bonds, says Judge Ruscll, and bonds
will be issuoj and sold as the war
rants are issued and cancelled.
The entire day was taken up by
Judge Russell yesterday in the dis
trict court In the matter of the issu
ance of bonds to fund the indebted
ness owed by the city of Ardmore.
Attorney Thomas Norman, a tax-
paver of the city remonstrated
against the issuance of the bonds,
on the grounds that it would Increase
the Indebtedness of the city to ex
ceed the constitutional limitation,,
that the indebtedness was void be-.
cause It exceeded eighty per cent
of the income during the year In
which they were issued and taken
together with other 'ndebtedness of
the city would exceed the fivo per
cent limitation.
The testimony showed that the in
debtedness sought to be funded, ta
ken together with all other indebt
edness against the city did not
amount to five per cent of the 'ax-
able value at the time the indebt
edness was Incurred, it further show
ed that tilie Indebtedness Incurred
for any year did not exceed the in
come for that year. On this showing
Judge Russell directed the bonds to
be issued and the outstanding debts
funded.

COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS.
Met Monday to Hear Arguments and
Hand Down Opinion.
Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 28. The court
of criminal appeals met today to hear
arguments on a number of cases and
also handed down three opinions.
In the case of Garnsey vs. State,
appealed from Beaver county, Judge
Doyle wrote the opinion. The de
fendant below was arrested for an
offense six months 'before statehood,
In what was then Indian Territory.
Before he was indicted the state was
admitted and no igranid jury was call
ed, so he was proceeded against on
an information by the county attor
ney. The fifth amendment to the
constitution of the United States pro
vides that "no person shall be held
to answer for a capital or otherwise
infamous crime unless on present
ment or indictment of a grand Jury"
and the court held that his alleged
offense was a crime punishable by a
term of years In the penitentiary, It
was an infamous crime under the
meaning of the amendment and that
no party could be tried on informa
tion for such, crimes, if committed be
fore statehood.
The court reserves Itself in the
case of W. A. Buchanan vs. State, on
appeal from Carter county. Jude
Fuirman admitting in the opinion that
the court had become convinced that
a previous decision of the court In
the case of Reed: vs. State (S Okla
homa Criminal Reports, page ID.
was not the correct doctrine,. W. A.
Buchanan, a notary public of Dur
wood. Carter county, wa9 arrested
for violation of the liquor laws. The
evidence showed that one of the wit-
had testified that he asked
Buchanan if he knew where he could
get him some whisky. Buchanan
thought be did, and the man gave
htm 50 cents. Lter on another man
came and handed him a half-pint of
whisky, Buchanan having nothing
further to do with the transaction.
The defendant below claimed that
h was simply acting as the agent
of the buyer and had no pecunlry
Interest in the sale. Under the Reed
case, that would have been a good
defense, but the court held that the
Reed; case was the incorrect theory
and that when the statutes said "U
persona concerned In the commission
of a crime, whether It be felony or
Tnlnrtomeanor. and whether they di
rectly committed the act constituting
th offense or aid and abet In the
commission are principals," and they
had covered this proposition ami iai
any person taking eny part in tne
transaction was guilty.
As to the agency proposition, the
court says, "the law of agency as ap
plied In civil cases has no applica
tion in criminal cases, and no man
can escape punishment when he par
ticipates In the commission of a
crime upon the ground that he sim
ply acted as the agent for any party.
Onlv two states in the union, Mis
sissippi and Alabama, are In concord
4th th decision, every other state
that has passed on the matter hold
ing that where the party Is simply
the agent he la not guilty, but the
TO BOOST
FOR
MANY NEW MEMBERS BEING AD
DED TO THE COMMERCIAL
CLUB.
The commercial club of the city
is getting active and have inaug
urated a movement to increase ins
membership and get more people In
erested in the welfare of the city.
They havo been especially active dur
ing the past week and have sent on:
many letters to parties, urging ihe.m
to become members aii'.!i help boost
the cily.
President Dyer In speaking of t ho
increase in numbers said that when
he was chosen as president of the
club he did not want the honor, but
now that he had accepted he consid
ered that ho owed it to the citi
zenship of the city and county to
give it his undivided jtltciulou and
make Ardmore grow. Ho further
statejli that many of tlu persons
Who received the letter had re
sponded and were now nuuubers of
the commercial club.
'"Our plans," said Mr. Dyer, "have
been to call the attention of the
property owners and 'business men
to the needs of Ardmore, and to
the necessity of co-operation with
t lie conwiiorcial club, the commercial
club is at present largely supported
by the wage-earner, but this is a
condition that ought not i exist,
the property owner should hoar his
burden as well as he is more ma
terially benefited by advancement of
the city's growth." The campaign
has just begun, said Mr. Dyer and we
intend to make our meetings so In
teresting that every member will he
present and bring a friend who will
become a member also and go out
and boost for the city h'l.'e their
little hammers, and whenever a
proposition is offerd.'i if the thing
loks good get in behind It with a
vim and he first thing you know
there will be smoke stacks going up
all over the city and our Kpu!a
ition will double in three years."
court feels that that theory gives
the criminal too good a chance to
Sescape punishment awj that no man
who aids or abets n violation of the
liquor laws has any itight to escape.
The other cases handed down by
Judge Furman, that of U'e Linn vs.
State, follow the Buchanan case.

UNITED DOCTORS GET
II BIG WELCOME
CROWDS OF SICK PEOPLE
THRONGED WAITING
ROOMS TODAY.
Many Patients Came From Out of
Town to See Great Specialists
and Be Cured.
A most royal reception was extend
ed to lite 1'niled INictors yesterday,
upon the occasion of the opening of
their new Ardmore institute, which
Is located at Adrtcn Hotel Building.
All afttvuuon the wailing rooms
were crowded with patients who
were anxiously waiting their turn
for a free consultation with thvse
world-renowned medical upceialists.
8o great was the crush of patrons
that the specialist who is 1u churgo
of this new Institute, was kept busy
alt day, and even then, was not able
locxamine all callnm. Many pa
tients from out of town wene in the
crowded waiting rooms. Some were
there from as far south as Teias line
while others came from the lu'igb-
borliood of Pauls Valley and other
distant iolnts.
Bcldw tlw many iatieiits, there
were also a number of business iiwn
and prominent citizens who hud call
ed to pay their respects to Iho United
Doctors and to wish them well.
The grand free offer of free ex
amination and treatment at cost of
medicine is extended to the second
fifty case on account of so many not
getting to see the doctors today. Aft
er this ru-Oilar fees will be charged
to all.
Anyone suffering from any ner
vous or blood disease or other chron
ic disease cannot do hotter than to
call upon these- famous medical
specialists. You will find them per
fectly honest and. upright in their
dallngs. If they cannot cure you
they will frankly tell you so, for
It is their Invariable rule to refuse
to treat any incurable case.
While the United (Doctors -will not
treat, any case that they deem incur
able, yet no one should despair be
cause other dm-tors have failed to
cure or relieve them. It nnutt be re
membered that the vast experience
of these world-famous medical ex
perts and the scientific use of their
wonderful new system of treatment
enables them to cure many cases
that have been pronounced hopeless
by old methods.
The United Doo'ors solicit difficult
and deep-seated cases. They want
the failures of other doctors to come
to them at once. This will enable
them to enow the people what this
new system of medicine will do in
curing disease and relieving suffer
ing-. This will enable them to soon
gain a reputation here as they have
n other states where their older in
stitutes are now established. Exam
ination and consultation are confiden
tial ami free to all. Treatment is
free except for the cost of medlcinea
used.
