GUTHRIE. Okla.. March 31.-Crazy
snake has been captured. He Is being
held under heavy guard at Thompson s
farm, west of Checotah. This was con
firmed by telephone message from Che
cotah at 1:30 this morning. He will be
taken to jail In Muskogee at daybreak.
f'razy Snake Is badly wounded in the
thigh.
Nine prisoners were taken to Muskogee
tonight and placed In jail there, and
seven to Checotah.
Frank Cocker, a Seminole, has been ar
rested charged with the killing of Mar
shal Baum and Deputy Odom during the
Tight at Crazy Snake s house Saturday.
Somlnoles May Rise.
The people In that district are badly
frightened over reports that the Semi
nolns are arming to Join Crazy Snake's
Hand. Negro agitators are working
among the Indians.
It is charged that efforts are being
made, to belittle the trouble on account
of its unpleasant notoriety to the state.
A dispatoh from Henryetta said military
officers had admitted unofficially that 13
negroes and Indians had been killed since
Thursday.
Thomas Watson, a prominent citizen
of Sapulpa. said today that the bodies
of nearly 30 negroes had been found near
the wene of the original disturbance,
- near Crazy Snake's home.
Death List Grows.
Deputy Sheriffs Frank Jones and Will
lam Clarke told a staff correspondent of
the Daily Oklahoman that they had good
reason to believe that more than Mar
shal Baum and Deputy Sheriff Odom
were killed In Saturday's fight. While
digging In the ashes of the razed home
of Crazy Snake today, the correspondent
found the charred bones of four men.
Jones and Clarke investigated and were
(convinced that .several Indians .were
burned. They say the "Indians were
killed In the fight and their bodies cre
mated by their companions.
Trouble Over Year Old.
Trouble has been brewing in this sec
tion for a year over the allotment of
lands. Crazy Snake persuaded his clans
men, many of them negroes and half
breeds, not to accept the allotment. The
old chief stands for all the traditions of
his race, especially that of the unre
stricted hunting-grounds. Although many
of hi tribesmen secretly sent their al
lotments, they dared not tell their leader,
who would have expelled them from the
community.
For a year the redmen and negroes,
refusing to remain on their farms, had
lived as nomads, to the great detriment
of chicken-roosts, clotheslines and pas
tures. Deputy Sheriff Fatee started a week
ago for the Hickory Stanmping Grounds
to arrest an Indian who had sold his
farm too often. The warrior seized a
rifle and refused to inhabit the white
man's jail. His comrades also armed
themselves and the deputy retreated.
Outbreak Was Sadden.
The following day Wednesday Fatee
returned with a small posse, Including
farmers named Krops, Johnson and Faw
ler. whose homes, being near the Stamp
ing Grounds, were in Jeopardy. Fawler
received a load of buckshot In
The others retreated and the Indians
ceieorated their victory by riddling with
bullets the homes of Krops, Johnson and
FhwUt.
Meanwhile Crazy Snake was at his
home near Pierce, about 15 n.llo. frnn.
here. He had passed some time in Wash
ington, and the Creeks were gathering
from far and near to hear his report.
Sheriff Odom, regarding the old chief
tain as at the bottom r h rmiMmira
which had been met. resolved upon his
arrest, it was in this attempt that the
Sheriff's son and Demit v rtaitm wn
killed by a volley fired from Crazy
pnaup s nouse.
This started the trouble. Governor
Haskell ordered the First Regiment.
Oklahoma National Guard, to the scene",
and another and larger posse was
formed. Before the militia arrived this

KANSAS CITT. Mo., March 30. (Spe
cial.) J. J. shubert, of New York, and
his secretary and representative, Jo
seph L. Rhinock, of Covington. Ky., ar
rived here this morning. Besides the
announcement that he Intended to es
tablish a stock company of well-known
actors here this Summer, to try out
some of the plays he will produce next
season, Mr. Shubert went into detail
regarding his plans for the Pacific
Coast.
"We will leave for Los Angeles to
morrow," said Mr. Shubert. "where I in
tend to obtain a new theater.. I shall
also contract for new houses at San
Francisco, Portland and Seattle. With
these new houses there will be about 60
theaters In our' chain."
Mr. Shubert was enthusiastic con
cerning the outlook for the coming sea
son, declaring that the Shuberts never
occupied such a commanding position
in the theatrical world as at the pres
ent time.
"And," he continued, "we will now be
able to give the West productions that
have heretofore been confined to the
Eastern and Middle States exclusively."
TAXES PAID SEVEN YEARS
American Smokers Have Lost $15,
900,000 on War Charges.
WASHINGTON. March 30. What is
designated as a "joker" that cost the
consumers of tobacco in this country
nearly 46,O00,O0O was found today in the
existing revenue laws, by Representative
Dawson of Lowa, who at once Introduced
a bill to correct the error by restoring
packages- to their original sizes.
Under the Dlngley tariff the two-ounce
packages of tobacco sell to the consum
er at 5 cents each, and the four-ounce
packages for 10 cents. In 1898 a war rev
enue tax of 6 cents a pound additional
was levied. At the same time, in order
to serve the convenience of the trade,
authorization was given for the reduc
tion of the size of packages from 2, 3
and 4 ounces to 2 and 3 1-3 ounces, thus
enabling the smoker to procure a five
cent and a ten-cent package of tobacco
"at the store."
The war revenue tax was repealed, but
the packages of tobacco remained the
same size. Since 1902 the consumers of
tobacco have been paying the eaulva-
lent of the war revenue tax to manufac
turers.

HIS REPLY TO ROOSEVELT
Told President Five) Years Ago He
Was Wrong and Events Have
x Proved It Change of Sen
timent In the West.
DENVER, March 30.-If E. H. Harri
man could have his way, he would bring
sit the railroads in America Into' one
Kiant combination, under one head, and
begin immediately the expenditure of
1250,000.000 or $300,000,000 In Improving the
weaker roads, both physically and finan
cially. In this way he says he believes
he could do the greatest good to the
Government, the people of the United
States generally, to the shippers Indi
vidually and finally to the owner, of
railroad stock.
Throw Cloak Over All.
' Mr. Harriman spent two hours In Den
ver today as the guest of the Chamber
of Commerce, then departed on his east
ward journey.
. "If. we could, we would throw our cloak
over the weaker lines throughout the
country and begin immediately the ex
penditure of between 1250.000.000. and
$300,000,000 to Improve them," said Mr.
Harriman In an Informal talk at the
Chamber of Commerce. "It ought to be
done Immediately and I think I can
qualify as an expert on these matters.
This should be done openly and under
some sort of Government supervision.
But we would all be put In prison If we
tried It."
Told Roosevelt He Was Wrong.
Mr. Harriman also declared that his
roads have spent in the neighborhood
of $100,000,001 building In the West and
through the mountains. He repeated his
assertion that he had found a great
change in public, sentiment towards rail
roads and . railroad-builders throughout
the land. '
"Five years ago," said Mr. Harirman,
"I told President Roosevelt that he was
wrong and that he would have many Im
itators tn various states and cities whd
would do the country incalculable harm,
and what I told him then has proved
correct. Roosevelt was wrong In his
fight on me and the railroads, and the
truth of this Is getting clearer every

WASHINGTON, March 30. There is
Imminent danger that the Payne tariff
bill will be seriously delayed In Its con
struction by the House. President Taft
conferred today with Speaker Cannon,
Representatives Payne and Dalzell. It
Is understood that the House leaders Im
pressed the Chief Executive with the un
favorable situation regarding the hill and
the difficulty of getting the Republican
members In line to vote for a rule which
would expedite the passage of the
measure.
It was conceded tonight by several Re
publican leaders that It would be Im
possible to pass a rule restricting amend
ments to the bill until some time next
week, and then only by granting the de
mands made by a number of members
that certain important schedules be open
to amendment. Those members who op
pose a caucus do so on the ground that
it would attract the attention of he
country to the fact that the members of
the majority in the House are at odds
regarding the bill.
As a means of settling the differences
that exist and securing general support
to a rule restricting amendments entirely
to those which the ways and means com
mittee will offer, they propose that the
committee should recommend changes
that will take the countervailing duty on
coffee out of the bill and strike out the
tariff on tea.
The Reupblican whips are .making a
canvass of the majority members to learn
whether a great number favor or op
pose the holding of a caucus.
