Democrats Make Favorable Report Close of First Fiscal Year at Hand Figures Are Given Vol. 2, No 36 Get in T Covering The Entire State of Democrats Make Close of First Fis Figures A Washington, July 2—Tuesday marked the close of the first fiscal year under the democratic administration. Figures made public Monday showed that up to and including last Saturday the government's receipts had been $694,505,000.23; as against $699,084,417.60 for the corresponding period of the last year. The last two days will add heavy receipts' especially in corporation and income tax assessments, which are delayed until the last moment. Receipts for corporation and income taxes aggregate $6,627,566.24 Saturday, making the total collections from these sources for the year up to that date $32,285,686.87. The treasury department estimate of the amount to be derived from these taxes is $75,000,000 and if the experience of last year is repeated the final day for payment will bring in half the total as sessments. Figures including Saturday's receipts, show the amount of money collected from customs as $290,891,266.65 against $316,338,572.03 last year for the corresponding period. The internal revenue collections from ordinary sources so far this year aggregate $306,267,126.87 compared with $303,560,624.99 for the preceding year. From miscellaneous sources the receipts were $57,210,207.42, against $60,651,588.54 for last year. The estimate of Secretary McAdoo of the receipts for this fiscal year made in his annual report last year was $733,000,000. Delay in the payment of income tax doubtless will make it impossible to obtain figures on the government's income for some time. The total assessment returned on personal income tax is $30,750,000 or $23,250,000 less than Mr. McAdo expected to derive from that source. While all these assessments probably will be paid promptly there will be some delay in prosecuting the tax dodgers from whom Mr. McAdoo expects to collect enough to make up the difference between his estimate and returns made by taxpayers.

Cherokee Indian Tribe Dissolved Noted Nation of Red Men No longer Has Civil Authority Jack Johnson Still Champion Jack Johnson still holds the title as heavy weight champion of the world and stands ready to defend it against any man in the world. That he is undoubtedly the champion is conceded by Moran who was defeated by Johnson, in a twenty round bout in Paris, last Saturday. It has been rumored that an agreement existed between Johnson and Moran that there should be no knock out in this contest, and there are some people who put a great deal of credence in this rumor, because they believe Jack has a punch that no man living can withstand and remain on his feet. But of course it is easy to start a rumor. The world knows however, that Jack Johnson, is a clean honest fighter. He has made that reputation for himself and those who know him best will hesitate to believe that he intered into a fake fight to cater to the Moving picture concerns as it is rumored. But perhaps this is a new phase of the white hope. Knights and Ladies Meet This Month The Grand Lodge of the Knights and Ladies of Harmony will convened in this city July 23, for a two days session.

Subscription $1.00 Per Year. Edition! Muskogee, August 19-21 1914. an ribe Dissolved Red Men No longer Authority Washington, July 2.—At midnight Tuesday night the Cherokee Indian nation of Oklahoma was dissolved as a tribal government. This marked the passing of the largest tribal organization of Indians. The Cherokees will exist no more except as citizens of the United States. All community property has been converted into cash and each Cherokee has received his allotment. Commissioner Sells will now distribute the remaining cash on hand of $600,000 or about $15 to each of 41,789 members of the tribe. United States Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma is a Cherokee. The following telegram Tuesday was sent by Secretary Franklin B. Lane and Commissioner Cato Sells, to Principal Chief W. C. Rogers and National Attorney W. W. Hastings, announcing the winding up of the affairs of the Cherokee nation and expressing their high estimate of Cherokee people: "All officers of the Cherokee nation have been invited to tender their resignations by July 1, 1914, to be accepted at the earliest date practicable. Thereupon the disposition of affairs of the Cherokee nation will be substantially completed and tribal government discontinued so far as possible under existing laws. We congratulate the Cherokee people through you on their splendid history and their evolution from a primitive race to their present state of social, industrial and political development. Among the Cherokee tribe are individuals who have taken high rank in commercial and professional walks of life, and history will record some of them among its most influential statesmen. We believe that strong native characteristics of Cherokees as true original Americans will be a potential factor in making distinctive citizenship of Oklahoma."

The Negro members of the French Chamber of Deputies are now no longer regarded with curiosity, for their representation has been increased by the recent general elections. There are now three Black men sitting in Parliament, whereas formerly there was a so'e member.

BATTLESHIP SALE WAS PASSED HOUSE ADOPTS BILL AS AMEND ED; GREECE GES VESSELS. Big Dreadnaught Ordered, Making Four Additions to Navy.—None of Them Named Yet. Washington. — The administration's proposal to sell the battleships Idaho and Mississippi to Greece for $12,000, 600, already approved by the senate was passed by the house by a vote of 174 to 87. One dreadnaught will be built with the proceeds. The action of the house allows the house managers in conference to agree to the senate amendment with alterations providing specific appropriations for the new dreadnaught, which will cost $7,800,000 exclusive of armor and armament. The proposal provides for immediate funds of $2,625,000 to begin work on the vessel as soon as the sale is consummated. The proposal was agreed to in spite of the charge by republicans on the floor that the sale meant "entangling European alliances," and would involve the United States in the Balkan troubles. Representative Padgett declared that the administration believed the sale of the two vessels would have a tendency "to preserve the peace" between the nations involved and asserted that he knew of no protest against the sale being made by either country. Battleship No. 39 has not yet been named and this year's naval appropriation bill authorizes the construction of two new battleships, which, together with this new ship will total four unchristened young leviathans. Therefore, on this coming Fourth of July Uncle Sam will have the pleasing paternal duty of choosing names for his first set of quadruplets. FEDERAL AID AGAIN FOR A. & M. Board of Agriculture and Secretary Houston Reach Agreement. Washington.—The Oklahoma A. and M. college at Stillwater will receive $75,000 annually from the Morrill Hatch fund, which is distributed under the supervision of the federal department of agriculture, as a result of an agreement between Secretary Houston and a committee of the Oklahoma board of agriculture. Federal financial aid of the Oklahoma institution was withdrawn some time ago as a result of the indefinite status of the department of agriculture in Oklahoma, and a difference of opinion between heads of the feedral department and J. H. Connell relative to the management of the institution It was shown by the committee that a new president of the college would be selected to succeed Connell, and that the present board of agriculture in Oklahoma has been declared to be the legal body with full power to act. Upon this showing the department agreed to re-establish its financial aid. Dr. Allen of the federal department: will leave here in a few days for Oklahoma to check up the affairs of the Stillwater college as they affect the federal department preparatory to making the fund available. The committee from the Oklahoma board of agriculture is composed of Secretary Benjamin Hennessy, J. F. Darby of Muskogee and I. C. Renfro of Sulphur. CROWN PRINCE ASSASSINATED ARCHDUKE FRANCIS FERDINAND AND WIFE VICTIMS OF AS- SASSIN'S BULLETS ANOTHER TRAGEDY OF AUSTRIA Killed in Streets of Bosnian Capital— Student Fires Fatal Shoots After Failure of Bomb to Explode Sarajevo, Servia—Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Anstro-Hungarian throne and his mourganatic wife, the Duchess of Hohenberg, were assassinated while driving through the streets of Sarajevo, the Bosnian capital. A youthful studebun, fired the shots which added another to the long list of tragedies that have darkened the reign of Emperor Francis Joseph. The archduke and his wife were victims of the second attempt in the same day against their lives. First a bomb was thrown at the automobile in which they were driving to the town hall. Forewarned, however, of a possible attempt against hfs life, the archduke was watchful and struck the missile aside with his arm. It fell under an automobile following which carried members of the archduke's suite, wounding Count Von Boose-Waldeck and Col Merrizzo. Student Fires Fatal Shots On their return to the town hall, the archduke and the duchess were driving to the hospital when Gavrio Prinzip, a student, darted at the car and fired a volley at the occupants. His aim was true and the archduke and his wife were mortally wounded. With them at the time was the governor of the city, who escaped injury. The bodies of his murdered companions collapsed across him and protected him from stray bullets. Prinzip is 18 years old. Nedejo Gabrinovives, who threw the bomb, is 21. He told the police he had obtained the bomb from anarchists at Belgrade whose names he did not know. Archduke Francis, who was their presumptive to the throne of Austria, was born December 18, 1883. His father, the Archduke Carl Ludwig, was a brother of Emperor Francis Joseph and his mother was Maria Annunziatta, daughter of Ferdinand II of Naples. Francis Ferdinand was a boy when his mother died. In 1853 his father, then past 50, married Princess Maria Theresa Von Braganza, 18 year old daughter of King Miguel of Portugal. The new stepmother established an exemplary home. Ferdinand always held her in high esteem. She and her daughter, the Archduchess Maria Annunziata, were the only women present as witnesses of Francis Ferdinand's morganatic marriage to the Bohemian countess, Zophie Chotek, who later was elevated to the rank of duchess of Hohenberg by the emperor. Francis Ferdinand became the heir presumptive when the Crown Prince Rudolph, the only son of Emperor Francis Joseph, met a tragic death in what is known as the Meyerling tragedy, the result of an uncountenanced love for a young baroness. Tragedy Follows Tragedy This final tragedy which has come to the House of Hapsburg is the culmination of the personal sorrows that have overshadowed the life of the emperor. His reign began with sinister omens, for he faced internal dissensions and external aggressions from the moment he came to the throne. In 1853 the list of tragic incidents began with an attempt on his own life when a Hungarian named Lebeny, wounded him with a knife. Fourteen years later, his brother, Archduke Maximilian, emperor of Mexico, was executed. Then followed the burning to death of a niece in Vienna, a sister in Paris, and the death by suicide in Stahrenberg lake of a cousin. In 1898 the emperor's wife, who was a daughter of Maximillian Joseph, duke of Bavaria, was stabbed to death at Geneva by a mad Italian anarchist. They had been estranged for many years, but the emperor had never ceased to show a deep affection for her. Less than ten years before, the emperor's only son, Crown Prince Rudolph, a man of ability and promise, met death in a mystery which to this day has not been cleared. On January 30, 1889, his body was found in a hunting lodge at Meyerling, not far from Vienna. Beside his body lay that of the Baroness Marie Vetzera. TULSA OKLA STAR WILLIAM HEIMKE C.

"CRASH" WENT CLAFLIN STORES RECEIVERS APPOINTED FOR VAST DRY GOODS ENTERPRISE Liabilities Total Thirty Million; Has Assets of $44,000,000—Mixed With Other Corporations New York—The biggest mercantile failure in the history of the United States was precipitated when receivers were appointed for H. B. Claffin Co. of this city. The company, it is estimated, owes more than $30,000,000, which at the present time it is unable to pay. Its assets are said to be $44,000,000. John Claflin, head of the concern and its chief individual stockholder, is the owner of a chain of nearly thirty other dry goods enterprises throughout the country which are involved in the failure. Receivers for several of these were named and similar action will be taken in the case of the rest. Their business will be continued under receiver's management until their financial affairs have been adjusted. From 3,000 to 5,000 banks in all parts of the United States compose the bulk of the Claflin creditors. They hold notes aggregating the major part of the liabilities. These notes were issued by the various Claflin stores, endorsed by H. B. Claflin Co., and the proceeds used when discounted, in financing their needs. Companies Not Involved The United Dry Goods Co., a $51,000,000 corporation financed several years age by J. P. Morgan and Company to take over other Claflin interests is not involved in the failure. Neither is the Associated Merchants Co., owned by the United Dry Goods Co., and which in turn owns one-half of the H. B. Claflin Co., and other large stores, principally in New York. Mr. Claflin, who was president of both the dry goods and Associated Merchants companies, resigned those positions and it is understand that when the H. B. Claflin Co. is re-organized its connection with both the former companies will be severed. Cornelius B. Bliss, son of the late New York dry goods merchant, was elected to succeed Mr. Claflin. $20,000,000.00 BLAZE AT SALEM Historic Massachusetts Town Almost Wiped Out. Salem, Mass.—Nearly half the "old witch city" of Salem was devastated by a fire which caused an estimated loss of $20,000,000, destroying 1,000 buildings, including a score of manufacturing establishments and made 10,000 of the 45,000 citizens homeless. The fire originated in the Korn leather factory at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and swept through the shoe and leather district, gutting every building for miles in its path. Burning embers, carried by a strong northwest wind, started fires in other sections, the fashionable residential district and factories going alike. When the flames were under control all the historic and literary landmarks had escaped destruction. These included the Peabody museum, old custom house where Nathanial Hawthorne did much of his literary work and the "House o. Seven Gables," made famous by the novelist. PROTOCOLS ARE SIGNED INTERNATIONAL DIFFICULTIES SETTLED IN MEDIATORS' AGREEMENT. NOW UP TO WARRING FACTIONS Conference at Niagara Expected; United States Waives All Indemnity for Mexican Niagara Falls, Ont.—Terms for composing all international differences between the United States and Mexico have been concluded. The conditions under which diplomatic relations will be resumed were embodied in a protocol signed by the ambassador from Brazil, the ministers of Chile and Argentina and the American and Huerla delegates. The character of the settlement is not expected to arouse opposition from the constitutionalists who would participate in it, and to a large degree, it would mold the adjustment of all internal disputes. When a new provisional government is established to succeed that headed by General Huerta the result of mediation—recognized as a triumph for Pan-American diplomacy—will become come effective. Coincidentally with the action taken it was announced that the actual selection of a provisional president and the organization of the new government will be left to an informal conference of representatives of the constitutionalists—Louis Cabrera, Rafael Zubaran and Jose Vasconcelos—and the Huerta delegates to the mediation conference. That the United States and Argentina, Brazil and Chile—the mediating countries—shall recognize the new provisional government and that thenceforth diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico shall be resumed. The single outstanding provision in the protocol is that the international problem shall be declared adjusted on the establishment of a new provisional government. The protocol sets forth: No Indemnity Claimed by U. S. That the United States demands no indemnity and does not further exact satisfaction for any of the incidents connected with the patrol of Mexican waters and invasion of the country. That a commission will be appointed to try some claims is not improbable. The results of the mediator's work places the issue now squarely before the representatives of the two warring factions. On them will rest the responsibility for failure or success of the peace plans as a whole. Luis Cabrera, Rafael Zubaran and Jose Vasconcelos, the constitutionalist delegates are in Washington and should arrive here in another day or two. Villa Considered Favorable. There was little said here about General Villa's attitude toward the sending of delegates but it was believed he was in thorough accord with the proposition. Reliable information has come that he is ready to accept the result of the conferences and it is not unlikely he will be kept informed of its progress. These protocols signed are as follows: Article 1—The provisional government referred to in the protocol No. 3 shall be constituted by agreement of the delegates representing the parties between which the internal struggle in Mexico is taking place. To Restore Diplomatic Relations. To Restore Diplomatic Relations. Article 2—(a) Upon the signing of the constitution of the provisional government in the City of Mexico, the government of the United States of America will recognize it immediately and thereupon diplomatic relations between the two countries will be restored. (b) The government of the United States of America will not in any form whatsoever claim a war indemnity or other international satisfaction. (c) The provisional government will proclaim an absolute amnesty to all foreigners for any and all political offenses committed during the period of civil was as a consequence of military acts or the acts of the national authorities. Article 3—The three mediating governments agree on their part to recognize the provisional government organized as provided by section 1 of this protocol. Protocol No. 3 referred to was signed two weeks ago and sets forth merely that a provisional government to be constituted later as provided shall be recognized on a certain date, to be agreed on subsequently and from that time forward shall exercise governmental powers until the inauguration of a constitutional president. X King Peter of Servia has abdicated, on account of poor health, in favor of the Crown Prince. ZACATECAS TAKEN BY GEN. VILLA ONE MORE IMPORTANT CITY FALLS TO THE REBELS. One General Killed, Two Wounded; Many Prisoners Captured by the Rebels. El Paso—Zacatecas, an important city in central Mexico has fallen into the hands of the constitutionalists, according to announcement by General Villa's officials here. Two of Villa's generals were wounded. The constitutionalists were heavy losers, according to an official dispatch. No mention is made of the federal killed but it was said many prisoners were captured with much arms and ammunition. It was believed Villa's lack of effective artillery ammunition had made it necessary to rush the federal positions with infantry, taking the city by a sudden attack which, according to official reports, resulted in the capture of a large portion of the garrison and its munitions. The border city of Juarez immediately plunged itself into a celebration. The telegram describing the victory was received by Col. Ornelas, the Juarez commander, and by Lazaro de la Garza, Villa's agent here. It was signed by General Orestes Pereyra, commander at Torreon and read: "I have the honor to communicate to you that yesterday at 6 p. m. the important city of Zacatecas was captured by the forces of the dvlvision of the north. We took many prisoners and captured a large quantity of ammunition and arms. There were large losses on our side. "General Trinidad Rodriguez was seriously wounded and General Maclocio Herrera was slightly wounded." Federals Abandon San Luis Potosí. Saltillo.—Federal troops which have been stationed at San Luis Potosí already have evacuated that town with the exception of a garrison, according to a report received at Carranza's headquarters. According to the report the larger portion of the federal troops under General Jaquin Maas have been sent to reinforce Aguas Callentes and to garrison Queretaro. The report seemed to indicate that the federals in the vicinity of San Luis Potosí would make strenuous effort to check the advance of the constitutionalists who have reached a point on the railroad fifty kilometers from that place. The constitutionalists are repairing the railroad as rapidly as possible. General Gonzales arrived with 2,000 men from Monterey. He was joined here by General Luis Caballero, governor of the state of Tamaulipas and General Camacho who is operating in the state of Puebla. These generals with the Caberro brothers who are leaders in the state of Hidalgo conferred here regarding the present situation in the affairs of the constitutionalists. Gonzales' 2,000 troops left for the south. The brigade of General Cesario Castro also is preparing to entrain for the south. General Carranza has left for Monterey for a long promised visit. Acapulco Hemmed In. On Board U. S. S. California, Mazatlan.—Conditions at Acapulco are becoming intolerable. In order to subsist the federal garrison under General Salido is making forced daily loans ranging from fifty cents gold to twenty-five dollars on all civilians who have that much discoverable wealth. The constitutionalists operating under the leadership of Zapata keep the town hemmed in. The federal troops are restless and the citizens depressel. This was the news brought here by the Pacific Mall liner Peru.

Phone 248%, In this much bemonumented land tt is rather curious that no monument has yet been set up anywhere to commemorate the loyalty of the slaves taat remained on the planta tions during the Civil war. Of course commemoration of that sort belong to the old slave states, but citizens of the North can regard the matter with interest, 1f not with the same vital and personal interest that citizens of the South, may feel. Both dur- ing the war and fn the half century since its termination Confederates have been warm in their expres: sion of esteem for the faithful slaves that stayed at home while their mas- ters went to the army, guarding falth- fully the women and children whom the white men of the South had to leave at home when the call to arms came. Now the omission will probably be rectified since at the recent reunion of Confederate veterans at Jackson- ville a motion was adopted recom- mending that such @ monument be erected in the capital city of each of the former slave states. A little re- flection serves to show one how rich- ly the commemoration is deserved. Singularly beautiful and touching was the loyalty of those black people to the families of their masters. The fact that the white men dared leave their wives and children to the protec- tion of the black men who were their slaves 1s in itself a tribute of which the American negro can always be proud and now monuments in the capital cities of the South will per manently recall to mind a reliance that was not misplaced, ’ Notary Publi. 5 Phone sgahe: H.

A process of hardening steel with compressed air is said to be in suc- cessful use by a German firm in cases where only certain parts of the metal require hardening. In justice to Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, who recently delivered an ad- dress on the negro problem M our city, I desire to reply to a letter of A. 3. Edmonds in the “Public Mind” column of the Times of the twenty-second, writes H. O. Cook in a communication to the Kansas City Star. Mr. Edmonds, in comparing the views of Mr. Villard and Mr, Booker T.

It is said that one of the wells 1s able to produce 2,000 gallons an hour. If this is 80 there are but ahont 9 dozen wells in the world of greater production, Dur- ing the past week discoveries of sur face indications have been made which show that ofl exists over a consider- able portion of Alberta and Saskatche- wan, while in Manitoba there have al- 80 been showings. At Battleford, Saskatchewan, a few days ago discov- erles were made which led to the fil- ing for leases on twenty thousand acres of land, all having strong sur- face indications, Companies were formed to carry on immediate work, and in a couple ef months, or probably less, the story will be told whether ofl exists in paying quantities. But there are also the coal deposits and the natural gas deposits that are helping to make of Western Canada one of the wealthiest portions of the continent. With the grain fields covering these hidden riches it is no wonder that a continued range of optimism is to be seen everywhere. Early reports of seeding of all grains being successful- ly completed all over the country are followed by reports of excellent and strong growth everywhere. During the first week in June most of the wheat had reached a growth of from twelve to twenty inches, with the most even appearance, almost universally, that has been seen for years. Oats appeared equally well, and covered the ground in a way that brought the broadest kind of a grin to overspread the farmer's countenance, Barley, a favorite with the hog rais- ers, had taken good root, and was crowding oats for a first place, as to length of shoot. Cultivated fodder grasses are getting great attention, a8 a consequence of the inclination to g0 more largely into mixed farming, and the raising of hogs, cattle and horses. The weather is reported fine, Just what is needed, and if present favorable conditions continue, the grain crop of Western Canada for 1914 will be the largest average in the his- tory of the country.—Advertisement.

OBERT MORRIS, although an R Englishman by birth, might be called the “banker of the revo- lution,” for it was he who on several occasions was called upon to find money for the army. When congress fled from Vhiladelphia to Baltimore, Mr. Morris was one of the committee that stayed behind. Washingten had been forced to retreat before the en- emy, and was camped on the opposite shores of the Delaware, The British were able to obtain accurate informa- tion as to his position, but he could not do likewise with regard to theirs through lack of funds, So he wrote Robert Morris, asking for money, and the letter was brought him by @ con- fidenttal messenger, reaching him after practically all the inhabitante had left Philadelphia for some safer place. Depressed, he did not know . aA yk “A ‘ . ‘ om W) AN aR SG, bdnorw what to do, until he casually met an acquaintance, a friend, who asked for the news. Mr, Morris told him of needing money, and added: “Your security is to be my note and my honor.” “Rob- ert, thou shalt have it,” replied the man, and the money was secured and sent General Washington, In 1780 Robert Morris instituted a bank in Philadelphia, with others, the object of which was to establish credit by moans of which congress could be fur- nished with means for relieving the army. He headed the lst of subserip- tions with £10,000, to which others THEY SAY OF THE FOURTH Tho Army—Just as dry as any otb- or day, ‘The Grafter—I've got to let up for one day. Up in Sing Sing—And they call this Mberty! The Southerner—I don't care if I do, suh. The Statesman—Why not whoop for me a few times? The Peanut Man—Bless Liberty, and who wants the next bag? ‘The Middle West—Good enough day, but we need rain for corn. ‘The Far Westerner—I'm no patriot {f I don’t pop some one today! ‘The Little German Band—We go ‘toot! toot! toot! and then she vhas weme bad eggs! TULSA, OKLA, STAR added sufficient to total £360,000. By this means 3,000,000 rations of pro- visions and 300 hogsheade of rum were procured and forwarded to the needy army. Upon still another occasion Washington rote him that the milt- tary stores were woefully depleted and asked for ald. There was no am- munition but that in the men’s boxes, which was wet. All the lead possible had been secured, even the spouts of the houses, » Under such circumstances it was but natural that Mr. Morris should be hard put to it to find a way to supply the lead. However, he was a guest at an entertainment given by the Spanish minister, and upon being pressed by his host for the cause of his apparent worry, showed him the letter from Washington. His host then told him that one of his ships had just arrived at the wharf with 90 tons of lead, which shé brought as ballast. “You can have my halt of this fortunate supply,” he said, “and there are the owners of the other half!” He secured the lead, set one hundred men to work that same night, and before morning had sent a supply of bullets to the depleted army.

He wrote with words of fire that great declaration of human rights and indictment of monarchic government. Congress struck out the anti-slavery portions of the document, but It was adopted practically as Jef- ferson write {t, and thus the United States of America came into existence as a free nation, Many men of his day did not agree with Jefferson, and many believed him ‘to be a demagogue, Many men still hold these views. Others, then and now, hail him as the great apostle of true political democracy. But all men agree that he was one of the ablest and greatest of the able and great generation which ushered the great republic into the council of the na tions.

Hospital Dies. The evil effects or race prejudice were brought prominently to public view in Pottsville, Pa., on May 20. when an effort was made to have George Baxter, who had been severely wounded in a mine explosion, admitted to the Pottsville hospital. Martin Dolan, a contract miner for whom George Baxter worked, obtained a mandamus which would have admitted the wounded man to the hospital, but while the authorities of the institution were wrangling in court over Baxter' admission he died. One of Baxter's eyes had been blown out while at work and the other seriously injured, which required a speedy operation. Mr. Dolan offered to pay all the extra expense of a private ward but the hospital officials refused to permit Baxter's entrance until the board of managers consented, although a section in the charter of the hospital provides that no distinction shall be made in the treatment of patients on account of color or nationality.
