NEED CAREFUL FINANCIERING
WOULD FREE THE CITY FROM
UNNECESSARY DEBTS.
At Least Hold Them in Allegiance
Until the End of the Fiscal
Year, Which Terminates
in June Next.

The Supervisors are showing marked
desire to govern the city on as economi-
cal basis as possible and at the same
time not to place in jeopardy the inter
ests of the people. Retrenchment is the
watchword of the board, and the mem
bers are cutting down expenditures wher-
ever possible. AS an evidence of their
good faith in this matter the finance COM
mittee of the board at it's weekly meet
ing yesterday determined to incorporate
the following in its report to the board:
In the matter OF certain appropriations for
municipal purposes, 1t is recommended that
certain sums of money be set aside and not
used as the necessity is not apparent for the
expenditure of these amounts until the con-
dition of the city's funds is ascertained, and
all obligations met and provided for. The
following amounts might be held:
Condemnation of land to extend twenty

Messrs. kirkpatrick and Athert2n; ex-

CLARKE DIDN'T SIGN
Anti-Barnes Charges Recently
Given to the Public.
ENDORSES THE MOVEMENT

Do Their Own Bouncing.

Guthrie, o. II, Sept. 27-The exact status
of the case against Governor Barnes al

al is as deep a mystery as ever. It will
cation of the charges in full, the Washing
ton correspondent stated. upon the alleg-
ed authority of Secretary Hitchcock,
hat among the signatures attached to the
charges was the name Of Sidney Clarke
Of Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma pub
lie, being well acquainted with Mr..
Clarke's feeling of personal anxietyaoin
Clarke's feeling Of personal animosity to-
ward Governor Barnes, naturally accept
ed the published statement that he was
one of the signers of the charges. Mr..
Clarke, however, now comes forward in
an Oklahoma City newspaper and posi-
lively reputes the published statement.
The newspaper editorial, which is evident
ly inspired by Mr.. Clarke himself, is as
follows:
1.-The statement going the rounds of the
press 70 the sIleSI That quincy OioAh0 +ie-0
signed the charges proves to be untrue, as
Mr., Clarke states the charges were never
seen by him and that he was never con-
suited concerning them. Mr.. Clarke states
that he believes that Barnes is unfit for
governor and should be removed from Of
ice, but he believes that the Republicans
Of the territory are fully cognizant Of the
falfeasances of Barnes and his cohorts,
and should themselves see that change
is bBought about. One of the admitted
signers- also corroborates Mr.. Clarke S
statement that he was not a signer, and
believes, as Mr.. Clarke does, that it is
the business of the republicans to bring
about reforms in its own administration. -
