ASKED TO GET OUT
INVITATION EXTENDED TO LABOR
COMMISSIONER BIRD.
Bird, Speer and Attorney General Dawes
which Bird Is Notified that he had Best
Resign, but Declines to do So--Does not
Deny the Manipulation of His Subordi-
mates Salaries-Statute Relating to the
Office Makes no Provision for Ousting
the incumbent.

Topeka, Kan, June 22-(SpeciaD-
John Speer, the oldest journalist in the
state, who has devoted his life to the
Republican party and all that he ever
had or earned, who among his sacri-
fees to freedom counts two noble boys,
was made chief clerk Of Labor Com
missioner Bird at the earnest solicita-
ton of hosts of Republicans from every
section Of the state. The past week
Charles E. Biglow, OF Wichita, who
was a clerk in c. NJ. Jones clothing
house and a prominent labor union
man, received a large number Of strong
endorsements for the appointment OF
assistant labor commissioner. was in
fact appointed to Speer's place who in
time was discharged. And now for
more of it. Governor Morril has asked
Labor Commissioner Bird to resign be-
cause of his acts in exacting from his
clerk, John Speer, and his stenog-
rapher, Miss Hayes, portion of their
monthly salaries. Mr.. Bird has re-
fused to resign and criminal proceed
ings will be instituted at once
The affair was the general topic Of
conversation at the state house today.
State officers expressed great surprise
on the exposure of the case. Crit
cism was reserved, but there was a
general feeling akin to Indignation di
rected toward Mr.. Bird on account of
the manner in which he has manipu-
lated the salaries of his employees for
the benefit, as ne says, Of a contingent
fund which he hopes TO use in the en-
ployment of a clerk after the eXpira-
ton of the present fiscal year, June 80.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Bird, John
Speer, the complainant, and Attorney
General Dawes were in conference with
Governor Morril. The governor was
very much astonished at the facts in
the case and Mr.. Bird made no denials
of the statements made charging him
with Withholding a part Of the salaries
of Mr.. Speer and Miss Hayes. The Of
flcerS named were in executive session
a good share of the afternoon with the
result already stated, that Mr.. Bird
was asked to resign, whidn he declined
to do.
The statute pertaining to the office
OF labor commissioner provides no
means for removing the incumbent and
there seems to be no way to GUST him
except after conviction on a criminal
charge.
To a reporter Mr.. Bird refused to
make any statement whatever with re-
gard to the matter and said he would
be ready to talk in a day or two and
would issue statement over his own
sigma ture.
During the session of the legislature
which passed the bill doing away with
one clerk in this department, Mr.. Bird
went before the committee and asked
that this be done and that the 81 900
appropriated for that employee be ap-
propriatted to the credit of his contin-
gent fund. This resulted in the pass
age of the bill as mentioned together
with the promise for the contingent
fund as requested.

until June Is, when the Storage gear
was carried away The rudder was
also somewhat disabled but Captain
Randle declined TO give any particu-
lars. The log OF the ST. Louis shows
that the Storage gear gave out slight
ly, disabling the rudder. Temporary
repairs were made and the steamer pro-
ceeded under somewhat reduced speed.
The remainder OF the voyage was
smooth and fine with considerable fog.
The Sandy Hook lightship was reached
at AIS this afternoon and signals were
hoisted indicating that the steamer
was disa bled. Tugs were quickly dis
patched TO her assistance.
MRS. HERMAN TESTIFIES.
Miss Matilda Herman, mho gained
notoriety as witness before the
Lexow committee, was a witness to-
day in the trial OF Police Captain

Another arrest-that of Keppel

Co.'S shirt factory a II Villa street on
January "A. 1894. The conspirators got
800, 900 by the fire and paidn the bugs
$1,000. Friedland is interested in in

FORMER OKLAHOMAN.s WOES.
He is in Trouble Over Marrying q Cherokee
sQuaw.

Washington, June 22-Friends and
relatives of Thomas w. Potter, in Dick
inson county, Kan, and Darlington, 0.
T., will be interested to learn that he
is in trouble at Cherokee, n. c., be-
cause he married a Cherokee girl there
and under the state law il is a crime
for white man to wed an Indian wo-
man.
Mr.. Potter is an old-time Kansan.
Seven years ago he went into the In
dian service, and up TO within two years
was stationed at Darlington o. t. He
proved TO be an excellent man, and
soon after the incoming of the present
administration was sent to Cherokee
as Indian agent and superintendent Of
a high grade Indian school He is
what is known in the bureau as ''com
bination" man; that is he makes a good
agent and can take care of school work
There are few of the kind in the SER
vice.
Soon after Mr.. Potter assumed his
new duties he met the Cherokee girl
who was to be his future wife. When
the white folks discovered that it was
a love match they informed Mr. Pot
ter that 1T was crime to marry an
Indian girl in that state and the pun
iShment, as he could see by reading
the law. was term in the penitenti-
airy of from one to ten years. But this
had no terrorS for Mr.. Potter. The
love making went on. and il is likely
that the advice given him FASTENED
the marriage vows.
They were married at the home OF
the parents of the bride, who are we'll
TODD people and respected. There was
no wedding trip of week or more, so
that ii would not appear that they were
trying to evade the law.
Before long Mr. Potter was told by
some of the good people that he had
better get out Of the state and get out
very quick. He did not go. Then the
commissioner of Indian affair was in
formed Of the great crime against the
state committed by his agent from
Kansas. 1t was suggested TO the com
missioner that he had better rescue Pot
ter by taking him out Of the state.
At this time a number of applications
were received from that locality for the
situation held by Potter. The COM
missioner gained the impression that
there was some connection between the
the alleged desire to enforce the law
and desire to break into Potter's job.
He at once informed those who had
written to him about he matter that in
the event Potter was removed he would
not fill the vacancy with anyone from
that state, this to make certain that
he did not intend TO favor those who
had imposed upon Potter.He also added
that he believed il to be a very bad law
and hoped that nothing would be done
to make II unpleasant for the agent.
This settled IL for few days, but
now ii seems that il is the intention TO
prosecute Potter, and the commissioner
intends to do all he can to defend him

OKLAHOMA Is FOR NKINLEY.
So Delegate England says to the People Of
Ohio.

Cleveland, O., June 22-(Special)-
The Cleveland Leader has interviewed
Delegate England from Oklahoma. The
Leader says:
zone of the newest stars in the Re-
publican banner is that of the recently
formed territory. Oklahoma, but the
Republicans OF that territory are none
the less enthusiastic than some Of
their brethren from the older states, al
though they have no voice in national
affairs.
The temporary chairman Of the Re-
publican leauge of the territory Mr.. T.
England, was interviewed by a Lea
der reporter yesterday afternoon al For
est City Park. When asked whom the
Oklahoma Republicans wanted 10 see
nominated for president next year he
said:
"Our people almost to a man want
Mckinley for president, and when the
national convention is held he will get
every one of our eleven votes first. last,
and all the time. and they will make no
mistake in voting for him. AT every
Republican convection held in the ter
ritory the principles Of the Minneapolis
platform, the one on which the next
president will stand, are upheld"
with reference 10 the financial CUES
ton" continued Mr.. England, 1.-The ma
jority of our people are not in a posi-
ton where they can afford to antago-
niZe the eastern people. The people OF
Ohio know as we'll as we do that We
are borrowers. Being borrowers. we
do not want any financial legislation
that will tend to make the moneyed
men afraid 10 loosen their purse strings
because that would crush US.
IF a sixteen to one free coinage bill
should be passed 1t would be impossible
for us to get money, and that would
prove our ruin. Our people are not
discussing that question very much,
but when they do declare themselves
they are emphatically in favor of sound
money"
Mr.. England said that the gold fields
that were reported to exist in Oklahoma
have not stood careful investigation,
and although he was anxious TO see peo-
pie coming to his territory, he wanted
to warn all against coming with the
expectation that they would find plen-
ty of gold. because there is none there.
