with John Clark, a prominent
citizen of Paris, who was arrested
at Mineola. The complaint was
sworn out before United States
Commissioner E P. Scott of this
city, charging the fraudulent use

MUSKOGEE STRIKE
IS UNCHANGED.
Muskogee, April 17—The labor
situation is unchanged today,
both sides seeming determined
and the contractors are tele-
graphing to surrounding cities
for carpenters and laborers to
take the place of the union men
here. The carpenters at a spe-
cial meeting last night, lasting
until after 12 o’clock, refused to
withdraw from the Central
Trades council, which would
practically have disrupted that
organization. As it was under'
stood, the painters and other
building trades unions would
have followed.
There are over 1C00 men out as
a result of the lockout declared
by the master builders and this
may result in a general strike,
thus tying up all bus’ness in the
city.
Guthrje, Ok., April 16.—Heavy
storms vjsited Oklahoma yester-

COURT MARTIAL
FOR SEYMOUR.
INCREASE OF
BEEF PRICES.
New York, April 17.-A fur-
ther increase in the wholesale
price of meat will be made this
week, which will result in a con-
siderable advance in the cost to
consumers in New York. The
local butchers have already rais-
ed their prices on steak and
roasts to protect themselves
•gainst the advances made by the
beef trust and they say this raise
will be confronted today by the
necessity of putting the price up
higher.
Peter Schmidt, president of
the Retail Meat Dealers’ associa-
tion of the East Side, and Loaia
Beckman, president of the West
Side branch of the association,
have decided to call meetings of
their organizations this week to
take action on the raise made by
t he peckers. Before the week is
ended it is predicted that reetau*

FRENCH NEUTRALITY.
Paris, April 18.—The French
government has taken every
precaution to secure an observ-
ance of neutrality in French
matters inIndo-China. Instruc-
tions have been sent to the gov-
ernor general calling attention to
the regulations. It is believed
the commander of the French
forces at Saigon is proceeding to
Kamrahn Bay, where the Russian
squadron has been seen, tfnder
the governor general’s order.
Manila, April 18.—Lieut. Com-
mander Isaac Knight Seymour
has been ordered to appear be-
fore a naval court martial for
trial.
Lieut. Commander Seymour
was the navigating officerhf the
cruiser Baltimore when that ves-
sel grounded in the Straits of
Malacca about six months ago,
and it is presumed that he is to
be tried in connection with that
affair- It is understood that the
charges against Seymour are
similar in nature to those pre-
ferred against (^ommander John
B. Briggs, who was in command
of tMe Baltimore when the acci-
dent occurred.
Austin. April 18.—Quite a sen-
sation was created today by the
filing of a complaint in Justice J-
D. Moore’s court, charging Dis
trict Attorney Warren W. Moore
with an attempt to murder As-
sistant District Attorney General
Howard Martin- Thflyoffense is
alleged to have been committed
last Saturday night at the Dris-
kill hotel, when Moore is charged
with having assaulted Martin
with a deadly weapon. The as-
sault grew out of the trial of
Moore for the alleged crime of
accepting a bribe, on which
charge he was acquitted. Mar-
tip was the state’s leading coun-
sel. Moore was arrested and
furnished bond for his appear-
ance on April 21- A complaint
was also filed against Moore for
carrying a pistol-
The feature in the trial of the
state against John H Kirby and
A. S. Vandervoort, charged with
conspiracy to bribe a judicial of-
ficer, was the testimony offered
by Martin Dies of Kounze. He
testified as to a conversation he
had with W. B. Wortham at Dal-
las in March, 1902, when the lat-
ter said that Judge D. A. McFall
had made statement toWortham
that he (McFall) had received a
sumof money from John H. Kir
by for procuring the dismissal of
the antitrust cases. Judge
Calhoun concluded his testimony
today. He declared that McFall
had come to ste him regarding
McFall’s appointment as district
attorney in the event an indict-
ment was returned against
Moore and ho was convicted.
A number of character wit
nesses were introduced to 9hcw
that Frank D. Glover’s reputation
was bad. The defense attempted
to introduce a numberof witness
es to show that Kirby’s general
reputation was good, when Ibe
state’s attorney made the admis
sion that Kirby’s and Vander-
voort’s general reputation was
gcod up to the5 alleged commis;
sion of the offense. The state,
however, would not admit that
their reputation was good at the
present time. Jjpon this admis
sion the state the court ruled
th».t it would be a useless con-
sumption of time to examine any
character witness for Kirby or
Vandervoort. ;
Mrs. McFall, widovV of Judge
McFall, was present in couit
This is the first time that a worn

The tension yesterday was very
great, especially when a police-
man shot a drunken workman,
who had drawn a pistol on him,
but there was no collision during
the day.
The bodies of the two work-
men who were accidentally killed
at the iron works, and whose fu
nerals their fellow workmen had
planned to convert into a great
po’itical demonstration, were in-
terred at daybreak, inaccordance
with pol;ce orders, to avoid a

there were no serious disorders.

INDIAN GIRL IS
GOING ON STAGE.
Muskogee, I.T., April 17.—
Information has been received
here that Miss Mamie Porter,
the beautiful and accomplished
daughter of General Pleasant
Porter, chief of the Creeks, is
going on the stage. .She will
make her first appearance lr
Boston with a comedy company-
Miss Porter has been in New
York studying music for two
years, but it was not known here
that she expected to go on the
stage. iji
Miss Porter is a beautiful type
of an Indian girl. She is twenty
years old, tall and graceful, with
that suppleness of an Indian
ancestry, bright and vivacious—
a charming woman She has
always had a desire to go on the
stage and has displayed consid-
erable talent in that line. As f
student she developed a habit of
writing short skits and verses
that were catchy, well rounded
and showed a strong mentality
She also developed a strong ten
deccy for Indian music and has
written and set to music several
Indian love tales that are far
above the average. She has
made a study of Indian music, a
field as yet practically unexplor
ed and she has found a world of
new poetry and sentiment that
had hitherto been overlooked by
composers. She evidently has
discovered afield and made it her
own. It is understood that she
will appear in some of these
songs and it is expected she will
make quite a hit
CARNEGIE fAVORS
NIECE’S MATCH.
Oklahoma City, April 18 —
Probably the most amazing spec-
tacle ever seen on the streets of
Oklahoma City was presented on
South Broadway at 3 o’clock yes-
terday afternoon, when four
persons, two men, a boy and a
woman, absolutely nude, came
marching northward from Reno
avenue, singing and shouting
hallelujahs.
In the van of this remarkable
array of Edenic simplicity, which
caused people to-rub their eyes
and wonder if tbesy were “seeing
things,” moved a young man,
perhaps twenty five years of age,
gesticulating and shoting, “I am
God Almighty, King of Kings, the
All in All.”
The other seeming wanderers
from the Grove of Daphne fol-
lowed clapping their hands, sing-
ing and shouting amens and hal-
leluj ihs.
Soon a great rabble assembled
and followed in their wake-
Someone sent in a telephone
call to police headquarters and
the nude marchers were met at
the corner of California avenue
and Broadway by Policeman
Beembloosom.
The officer walked out and
placed a detaining hand on the
young man who was in the lead,
but he immediately drew away,
exclaiming, “Do not touch God
Almighty with profane hands!
Fool, thinketh thou to restra:n
the King of Kings?” At the same
time he moved onward-
The poi ceman seized the daffy
man by the neck and, Vdaimon-
iug Policeman Armstrong to his
assistance, led them the way of
least resistance. When the
strange company rea< hed Grand
avenue and turned to enter the
police station in the basement of
the city hal’, fully a thousand
people were following. So strange
and uncanny was the spectacle
that the beholders were stricken
speechless by amazement, men-
tally inquiring, “Is all we see and
seem but a dream withia a
dream?”
When the doorway of the city
hall was reached the individual
who assumed the title of Al-
mighty God, drew back and de-
clined to go further, again argu
ing against the cruel and wordly
treatment he was receiving.
A pressure of the policeman’s
rhumb under his gill rendered
the fellow docile again and the
whole party were soon brought
before the astonished desk ser-
geant and other officials at police
headquarters.
In the absence of fig leaves the
wbman and her little eleven year
old son endeavored to conceal
themselves from the gaze of the
gathering throng. This was ob
served by the young man assum
ing the title of God Almighty,
who cried out, “Do not be asham
ed, Eve! Do not be ashamed, my
son! It is God’s wi 1 that .you le'
the public see you!’’ The woman
and the boy gave prompt obedi
ence to his command.
Austin, Texas, April 19.—The (
feature of today’s trial of John
H- Kirby and A. S. Vandervoort,
charged with bribing a judicial
officer, was the testimony offered
by District Attorney Moore. He
was recalled this morning by the
state and asked if he did not take
a list of eight of the jurors in
this, trial and give list of it to the
sheriff from which to pick a jury.
Moore admitted that he had and
when asked why he had done so
he declared that he wanted good
men m the jury. B. F. Bonner
of Houston, general manager of
the K.rby Lumber Company, was
placed on the stand and testified
as to telegrams he had received
from Kalamity Bonner and his
rephes.
These telegrams, it was testi-
fied, informed B. F. Bonner that
the grand jury was about to re
turn indictments against Kirby
for bribery, and Kalamity Bon-
ner wanted to post B. F. Bonner
in the matter. John Bonner of
Houston testified that Glover
registered at a Houston hotel as
C H. Edwards of Kansas City
and about Kalamity Bonner in-
troducing Glover to John Bonner
as Edwards Henry G. King
read to the jury some affidavits
he had prepared to show that the
Kirby Lumber company was not
a trust- Judge Sam St-eetman
of Houston testified as to a con
versation he had with McFall
regarding the legal aspect of the
anti trust cases. It is believed
taking of evidence will conclude
tomorrow when eight hours will
be consumed with arguments.

MOORE’S TESTIMONY.
Following is a synopsis of War'
ren Moore’s testimony, the ex-
amination being conducted by
Assistant Attorney General How-
ard Martin:
I have known Frank Glover
nine or ten years. I have visited
his house . I have been his a\
torney I don’t think he loaned
me money for any purpose for
which I have not paid him.
Did he loan you $16 to get your
watch out of pawn at San Anto-
nio ?
I didn’t call it loaning it to me,
and consider yet that I got it in
pawn by joining him in his re-
quest for a debauch—I can’t an
swer that without making an
explanation. *
I visited his residence in 1902,
Mr. Moore continued to answer
to questions. I don’t have no
recollection that I visited him in
1903.
You were there one night when ^
a negro named Abner Ramsev<^omoml)ei ^‘atiuctly
was sent to bring in some drinks?
I don’t recollect. I don’t deny
that I was there at any time after
the 1st of January.
Mr-McFall is dead now, isn't
he?
I haven’t scan him, but I sup-
pose that he is.
You din’t take the stand when
he was alive, did you?
I did not.
You waited until he was dead
and then took the stand?
I didn’t take it now—I am
forced to.
You didn’t testify to this trans-
action before a jury, even before
you were charged with it your
self, even when McFall was alive?
I did not, but I told Brady
about it frankly.
1 will ask you if on Friday
night, March 21, 1902, didn’t you
goto Frank Glover’s house, and
didn’t he count out to you $12,500
in his bedroom, or any other
room in his house?
W hat part of the question do
you desire me to answer?
If you went to Frank Glover’s
house Friday nigat, Marcn 21,
1902, or any other night during
that month?
I don’t know.
If you did, did he count out to
you $12, SCO?
He certainly did not-
If you went to his house on any
other night during that month,
what was your business?
I don’t know unless it was in
reference to these suits that were
filed.
What suit;?
- Why the suits at San, Marcos,
etc.
Did he give you a package that
had a $1000 bill in it? •
No.
Where did you get the $1000
bill that you had about that time?
The only $1000 bill I ever had—
Tell who paid it to you.
The American National Bink-
Which one of the officers?
I don’t know.
Can’t you remember who p:.id
y< u a $1003 bill?
I certainly can not.
I have had three $1000 bills in
my lifetime. I had one $1000 bill
that I got from a suit and that
was paid to the state. I got it
from the American National
Bank. I don’t remember which
one of the officers paid it to me
I think I got it in the National
and Southern Oil Company suits
about June 6,1902 When 1 paid
this bill to the treasurer I joking
ly spoke in regard to it. I was
not serious. I just told him I
might want to come and get it
Why did you think you would
need any evidence that would
call somebody’s attention to the
fact that you had a thousand dol-
lar bill?
I didn’t do it for that purpose. ______
You say you have had three!
one thousand dollar bills in jour Austin, April 18.—The ques-

don't remember what kind of j^cts mentioned in his message
other money—$100 bills—1 don’t j convening the lawmakers in spe-
that they cost about $6000?
No.
In 11*02 how much money did
you lose at Waco at cotton futures
or the bucket shops?
I never played that in my life
until this year, and I won $17.60,
and then quit.
How much money did you
spend on the races at St. Louis?
Do you mean this year?
Yes.
I haven’t spent any.
Didn’t you tell a party in St
Louis that you spent over $2000.
Why, no. I^on’t mean I didn’t
play a little bit or them. I quit
$40 winner at one ^place. and I
changed over to the other placo
and they took .it back, as they
usually do when you meukey
with them.
It was known here that your
brother has been a fugitive?
Not generally—not generally
as it is now. I didn’t want to
testify. If you haven’t sensibil-
it es enough to know it, I didn't
want to testify to it and don’t
iW.
I will ask you if Frank Glover,
about the time the grand jury
was in session, ever came to you
and told you that he was going
to turn state’s evidence to get
out of this thing; that every fel-
low would have to takeof himself,
and told you that you had better
do it, too?
No.
Did you tell Judge Victor
Brooks, in substance, that he had
approaAed you and offered to
turn state’s evidence?
No.
Did yon tell him anything like
that?
Yes; when I am mad I become
pretty arbitrary; I may not con-
vey everything. I don’t mean
to contradict Judge Brooks or
anything of that kind, but the
effect was this: I may have de-
sired to convey to him the idea
that I had seen Glover, but Glov-
er denied that I had ever bad
anything to do with it, or bad
ever said that I ever had anything
to do with the Kirby Lumber
Company case, and Judge Cal-
houn had told me that they want-
ed me to turn state’s evidence,
and I believed, notwithstanding
Frank’s two denials within twen-
ty five or thirty scutes of one
sfiothrf, ’ hat be was a'4i*L
that he was going to--
Turn state’s evidence?
And it might be if I was in-
volved in it he might lie about
me, and I said, I will not go for
accepting a bribe; I may go for
killing some-j-, which I
meant. Referring to what Judge .
Calhoun had said to mo, whether
I made it clear to Judge Brooks
in my anger, I do not know.
