Last night the Hoo Hoo's held forth
at the A. o. L. w hall on North Mar

that one reads about concerning the or

were taken into the order whose names
are as follows: J. +. Bennett, W. NJ An

did not prevent a good attendance in"
Guiding members of the order from as
far south as Chickasha-
The event was termed concatana-
ton and was the first ever held in the
city.
The general impression is that the
Hoo Hoo society consists exclusively
of lumber men and that there is a
combine in it. but nothing could be
farther from the truth. On the contra

men railroad men and newspaper men
and is one of the best associations for

Just as he was about TO jump into

There Were the rustling OF skirts and
the cackling OF shrili trebles and the

to be the inseparable concomitants OF a

GOING AFTER THEN
STANLEY'S COMMITTEE GETTING
DOWN TO BUSINESS

They Held a Meeting Last Night and Out
lined a Plan of BattIe--There Will Not
be any " hitewash Used in this Case
That is What They said About the
Boone Case-An of the Committee
Present Except MIR. Anidon--Will be
Another Meeting this Week--Kicking
Up a Dust.
The meeting appointed by Judge Reed
to investigate rumors of irregularity Of
members of the bar in the matter of col
= lecting costs held its first meeting in Mr..
Stanley's office last night.
The committee appointed by Judge
Reed: Stanley, Vermillion, Amidon
Brooks and Ferguson, were all present
except Mr.. Anlidon, who is out Of the
city on business.
The committee We're in session for
long time and the manner Of proceed
ing was discussed at some length. The
sentiment was in favor of thorough and
impartial investigation and ifitis found
that any of the lawyers have been col
lecting costs and using the money for
their own personal benefit instead of
turning them over TO the proper officers
they viii be made TO answer before the
court.
There has been a good deal said about
the court house about the irregularities
On the part of attorneys and loud de-
mand was made for the appointment of
q committee TO investigate the charges.
Since the committee was appointed
there is now talk that II will use a very
large whitewash brush when its final
report is made. Some of the attorneys
who have been openly charged with
irregularities claim that this white
wash talk is all started by county Of
ficfals who were instrumental in having
the committee appointed.
These attorneys claim that the county
officials will fall down when 1t comes to
proving their charges and they are get
ting ready to hide in the dust which
they are kicking up about a whitewash
report.
Mr.. Stanley was reminded of these re-
ports last night but he said they did not
deserve notice. The same talk went the
rounds he said when the Boone case
was being investigated but Mr.. Boone
was not whitewashed. He seemed to
think that the committee would make
fair and impartial investigation and
that whoever was found to have engag-
ed in Irregularities would be reported
but that no member of the bar would
be falsely accused in order to aviod
this cry Of whitewaSh.
The committee did not name a day
for its next meeting but it was under
stood that Mr.. Stanley would call il
together again this week. When the
committee meets again it will be for
work and the mill will be started In
grinding prominent attorney said
yesterday that the committee would
make an impartial investigation but if
1t failed to do so that Judge Reed would
appoint another committee. He is fully
determined that the men who are max
ing these charges against the bar shall
either prove them or shut their mouths
in the future
