Is the MIDDLE Over Council
Bill No. g"
REGENT BLAKES PLAN
Likely to be Taken Into Court
For a Test.
BLAKFS PLAN

Guthrie, o. T, March 2a.-(SpeciaL)-The
board Of regents of the Territorial univer-
sity met at Norman yesterday, but the
financial muddle created by the provisions
Of Council Bill No. 2" is no clearer than
before the meeting of the board. Regent
Blake, however, took the position that the
annual tax levy for university purposes
constituted in itself an appropriation, and
that under the decision Of the supreme
court warrants to meet the current ex-
penses of the university might be drawn
against the university fund as the taxes
were paid into the territorial treasury,
Notwithstanding the seemingly stringent
inhibition implied 10y Council Bill NO 2.
In the reorganization Of the board Regent
Blake was elected president, which places
him in a position to test the sOundness OF
his argument. 1t has been the rule for the
president and secretary of the board to
issue and sign the orders to pay the eX-
penses OF the university, these orders be-
ing directed to the territorial treasurer
consequently they win be equally respon-
slble and subject TO fine if the much
discussed bill is to be regarded as the law
OF the territory. It does not seem posi-
bic, though, that the controversy can be
settled without a judicial determination Of
the courts, and to this end test case is
likely to be instituted at an early daee
arising out Of the refusal of Treasurer
Thompson to register the university war
rants, which will then be followed with
mandamus proceeding. In the reorganiza-
ton Of the board the regent, c. o. Blake,
of FL Reno, was elected president; c. L.
Botsford, OF Norman, secretary. The new
executive committee consists Of Governor
Barnes, President Boyd and Regent King
of Waukomis. The committee on build
ings and grounds is composed Of Regents
ASP, Of Guthrie; Bellamy, of Ell Reno, and
Botsford. The board took steps for the
encouragement Of the summes semester in
connection with the university work.

legged to be due the defunct First National
Bank Of Emporia, in various transactions
in which Martindale was involved. The
suit Is brought on complaint of Morton
Albaugh as receiver of the bank, of which
MarJndale was vice president. II is al
legged that Martindale has S125 900 worth Of
real estate besides personal property. The
failure Of the bank. November 16 last, was
attended with sensational features. An
hour after the bank had been ordered
closed by the comptroller OF the currency,
Charles 5. Cross, its president. and one
Of the best known breeders OF Hereford
cattle in the west, retired 10 his famous
"Sunnyslope" stock farm. naar Emporia,
and committe suicide. A week later
confession which Cross had left was made
public. In il Cross exonerated Vice Pres

articles of food Sickness among the
troops had also doubtless much to do
in influencing the objections to this meat,
according to the opinion of the witness.
General Eagan said he had many con-
versations with men protesting to repre-
sent the Texas cattle interests who want
ed to furnish beef on the hoof, but he
did not recall expressing the opinion that
beef on the hoof or on the block would
be the best form in which to get meat for
the army. 1t was perfectly well under
stood at all times that he preferred refrig-
orator beef. He remembered that he had
forbidden his office to one Of these men
because of his persistence. He thought
he had mentioned the Powell proposition
to preserve beef to some Of the beef men,
but had only done so casually and then
only because many of them thought the
beef could not be kept r hours. AS for
himself he would not touch the process,
nor would he have accepted any bid in
which the bidder depended upon a pro-
cess other than freezing or chilling the
beef. In this connection General Eagan
said that Armour &, Co. had put in a bid
for ''processed beef but il was not &C
copied, and he did not remember the de-
tails concerning it. This bad was made in
the letting of the contracts for beef for
Cuba and Porto Rico. He knew nothing
Of the secret of the process and had given
the matter no attention.
u decided to give the contract to the
lowest responsible bidder, and stopped at
that" he said. Il took no interest what
ever in the subject of the process" he
repeated. He thought the bid could be
obtained at the commissary generals
office, and recommended that it be pro-
cured for the exact facts
The witness said he had conversed with
neither General Miles nor General Shafter
concerning the army rations, but that
General Brooke had made some recon-
mendations concerning bacon in cans.
With this General Eagans testimony
closed and the court adjourned for the
day, with the understanding that some
witnesses in General Miles behalf would
be heard tomorrow

UNIQUE POSTOFFICE CONTEST
Is That Presented for Succession in
the City OfKiHgfisher.

the City OfKiH%fisher.
Guthrie, o. T, March 29.-CSpeciaL)-
Hon. Fred E. Mckinley, receiver Of the
land office and more Familiarity known
in territorial politics as Cousin NIcKin-
ley" started overland for Kingfsher this
afternoon to take a hand in the postof1ce
broil at that place. A most remarkable
condition of affairs is said to exist over
the appointment Of a successor to the late
postmaster, who was also a cousin Of the
president, to whose personal intervention
he owed his appointment. Recently Post
master Mckinley died, news of which was
conveyed to 4. z. Mckinley the same
night, with the request that he secure the
endorsement of the territorial board Of
referees for the appointment of the son Of
the dead postmaster, Charles Mckinley,
as his fathers successor. In response to
Mr. McKinley's request, Governor Barnes,
Secretary jenkins and NJ c. Hargt, the
referees. readily signed the endorsement
of the son, Charles MCKINLEY, to be his
fathers successor in the pOstoffice, but
Dennis Flynn when approached with a
like request from Mr.. Mckinley, refused
10 igve his endorsement until he had con-
suited with the people Of Kingfsher. Sub
sequently he is understood to have en-
dorsed the application of Captain John
Roegrgs, from which it may be inferred
that Captain Rogers is backed by the
organization" To add still further to the
complication, the bondsmen were unable
TO agree upon a temporary postmaster,
and then, to cap the climax. Mrs. McEIin-
ley. wife of the dead postmaster and the
mother Of Charles Mckinley, announced
herself as an applicant for the succession.
This latter announcement has aroused a
suspicion that her candidacy is not in
ogod faith and that it is a shrewd move
10 accomplish the appointment of an ap-
pHcant outside Of the family. It is the
full appreciation Of the danger in this
latter complication that has caused F. Z.
AicKinley's hurried trip to Kingfsher, his
purpose hein gto harmonic the Mckinley
family so that the postofice succession
may be assured
