At 4 o’clock Mr. Dundy’s body was re-

Oklahoma Dealers Charged With Viol*,
tion of Sherman Anti-Trust Laws.
By Associated Press.
Guthrie, Okla., April 29.—The cases of
the seven Oklahoma lumber dealers who
are under indictment for an alleged vio-
lation of the Sherman anti-trust laws
were called here today in the United States
district court. In four of the cases Okla-
homa lumbermen are alleged to have main-
tained a pool and to have arbitrarily fixed!
the retail price of lumber. Indictments
have been found repeatedly in the terri-
torial courts, but the territorial laws wera
found inadequate and it has been impos-
sible to secure a conviction.
The cases called today are
this character in Oklahoma to come to
trial in a federal court.

Birmingham, Ala., April 29.—In the Unit-
ed States court today the cases against
Alexander R. Chisholm, former paying
teller of the First National bank of Birm-
ingham, who is alleged to have misap-
propriated $100,000 of the bank’s funds,
which he lost in cotton speculation, were
called, but went over until tomorrow be-
cause of the absence of Dr. J. T. Searcy,
superintendent of the state hospital for
the insane, who is expected to give im-
portant testimony, in that Chisholm was
at the asylum for a period for treatment.
John London also announced in court his
withdrawal from the case because of a
disagreement as to the line of defense, it
being understood that he opposed the plea
of Insanity which it is said will be en-
tered.
Chisholm was placed on trial last fall,
but because of a juror’s illness a mis-
trial was entered.
The case of W. L. Sims, agent here for
Gibert and Clay, brokers, charged with
being an accomplice, which was set for
Wednesday, has gone over until the next
term of court. Chisholm is alleged to
have lost heavily while trading with
Gibert and Clay.

Tax Measure Causes Warm Discussion
in House—Mule Cars Exempt.
Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Tex., April 29.—The house by a
vote of 62 to 37 defeated the amendment
to the gross receipts tax bill, offered by
Mears, placing a tax of 2^ per cent upon
the gross receipts of newspapers and
periodicals with a circulation of 10,000 or
over. Rather a lurid discussion was in-
dulged in regarding the leading st^te
papers which would come under the pro-
visions of the bill and which were al-
leged to pay no tax commensurate with
the profits or for the power given them
to mould public opinion.
An amendment was adopted excepting
mule cars from the tax imposed upon
interurban and street railway companies.
All the other amendments offered to that
section were defeated. The section rela-
tive to tax of dealers in futures was
stuck out of the bill as superfluous under
the anti-bucket shop law.
The numerous petitions against the pas-
sage of the two-cent fare bill were read
in the house.

Oklahoma City, Okla., April 29.—A
cloudburst occurred over Capital Hill, a
suburb of this city just south of the
Canadian river, last night and flooded
that place. Seven persons are missing
and are believed to have been drowned.
Many persons camped on lowlands
near the river were caught unawares and
had but little time to make their es-
cape. The river was bankfull and it will
be some time before it can be deter-
mined if any lives were really lost.
There was another heavy rainfall to-
day which caused the river to rise,
dangering property in the lowlands.
Three thousand people live on Capital
Hill, which lies south of the North Cana-
dian river, opposite Oklahoma City. The
hill is drained into a small stream called
Lightning creek, which enters the river
just below Oklahoma City. The water
came down the creek and covered the
low lands in such a volume as to force
out people living in shanties and small
houses on the low ground. Oklahoma
City itself was not endangered.
An area covering several square miles
has been flooded, causing much damage
to railway and farm property. Railway

Is that the quartz tube permits the

Tangier, April 29.—Information
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., April 29.—The su-
preme court today decided in effect that
the railroad commissioners of the state
of North Carolina can compel a railroad
company operating in that state to so ad-
just its schedule as to accommodate pas-
sengers on other lines from any particu-
lar part of the state. The opinion was
delivered by Justice White in the case of
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad vs. the
Corporation Commission of North Caro-
lina.
The case arose out of an order issued
by the commissioners directing the rail-
road company to make a connection at
Selma at 2.25 p. m. with a train on another
line running from the eastern part of the
state, with the abject of accommodating
passengers whose destination was Ral-
eigh. The railroad company resisted the
order on the grounds that it could not
be complied with without putting on a
special train which would involve extra
expense. This, it contended, amounted to
taking property without process of law.
The commission justified its course on
the ground of compliance with the order
was necessary to accommodate a large
part of the public. The supreme court
of North Carolina held against the rail-
road company and its decision was af-
firmed by today’s action of the supreme
court on the ground that the order of the
commission does not affect the rates, but
is a proper act of state regulation.
Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Tex., April 29.—Before Judge V.
L. Brooks in the twenty-sixth district
court came up for hearing today the case
of the state of Texas against the Waters-
Pierce Oil company, for penalties aggre-
gating about $5,000,000 and ouster from the
state, for the determination of the law
points involved. The court overruled the
motion of the defense to suppress the
deposition of J. P. Gruet for the alleged
evasion of the answer as to-the compen-
sation he was to receive by an agreement
with the county attorney, being one-third
of the latter’s fees out of the recovery in
return for attending trials of the case and
giving his testimony.
The court said if there were no other
way to get to the jury the fact that a
contract by which the witness was to re-
ceive a large contingent fee existed he
might sustain the motion, but as the
agreement was in writing and in the
possession of the attorney general’s de-
partment, and the attorneys for the de-
fense knew where it was that it could be
produced at the' trial of the case and the
facts in connection therewith presented to
the jury, the only good reason for the
suppression of the deposition was removed
end the motion was overruled.
Attorney General Davidson, Judge R. L.
Batts and the county attorney appeared
for the state and Judge George Clark of
Waco and R. L. Penn of Austin for the
defense.
Judge Brooks entered an order grant-
ing leave to the plaintiff to file a second
amended petition to the original petition
on the condition that it be filed on this
date, and to th© defendant leave to file
a third amended answer to the original
answer on or before May 8, all questions
of law raised by the pleadings of either
party as amended to be submitted on
May 10. The amended pleadings have not
yet been filed.

Effective May 1, Mr. H. P. Dolard, who
is at present private secretary and chief
clerk to Vice President and General Man-

steamship lines at New Orleans, will as-
sume charge of the company's offices at
this port, relieving the present agent,
Mr. Gerald A. Glasscock, who goes to
New Orleans to take Mr. Dolard’s place.
Th© change comes as a surprise to the
friends of both young men here, and is
due to several new features which the
Mexican-American people are soon to in-
augurate. Agent Dolard, until going to
New Orleans, was chief clerk in the of-
fices here and Mr. Glasscock was form-
erly employed in the steamship offices of
Fowler & McVitie.
A special from New Orleans last night
contained the followed in regard to
changes in the services of their steamers
which will go into effect May 1:
“New Orleans, La., April 28.—Effective
May 4, the Mexican-American Steamship
company will establish a fast express
service between New Orleans and Tam-
pico and Vera Cruz.
“According to the official announcement
of Vice President and General Manager
A. L. Roby, this service will be estab-
lished by running three of the four ships
now operated by the company direct
from New Orleans to Tampico and Vera
Cruz. The fourth ship will be placed
in the Galveston trade and will be run
from Galveston and Port Arthur to Tam.
pico and Vera Cruz.
“By this schedule three vessels will do
the work which under the present sched-
ule is done by four vessels. Under the
new schedule the running time will be
21 days. This schedule will be possible
by allowing the three vessels sailing out
of New Orleans to go direct to Tampico
and Vera Cruz instead of touching at
Port Arthur and Galveston every other
sailing. Seven or eight days will be
saved in the running time, establishing
the fastest schedule which has ever been
effective in the gulf.”
