WANTS AN INVESTIGATION

Guthri, o. T., Jan. 24-Harry Gilstrap
of Chandler arrived in the city tonight
to meet Postofice Inspector Peters in re-
gard to the charges made against him
IN connection with alterations, made in
the general appropriation bill of the leg
islature of f7s9 After conference with
Inspector Peters and others tonight, Mr.
Gilstrap made the following statement:
TO the charge that made changes in
the appropriation bin in order to effect
an increase OF my salary for the session,
I positively and most emphatically deny
that I ever made any such changes.
AS evidence Of the fact that there
could be no motive for the act with
which I am charged, point to the fact
that before the appropriation bill was in
troduced the members of the committee
on appropriation who framed the bill
agreed to make my compensation Tor the
session $ per day, and the members Of
the committee notinhed me Of the fact.
The members OF the committee at that
time were c. F. McErath, d. H. Van
Kirk. J. D. Ballard. L. E Hartshorn,
James Wilkins and J. W. Hadley. Ac-
cording to my recollection, the bin intro
duced provided that my compensation
should be IS per day for my services as
reading clerk of the house. Through an
oversight, or, as was said, a clerical er-
ror the compensation OF the reading
clerk in the council vas made 81 per day,
when it should nave been the same as
mine.
''The attention of the members Of the
appropriation committee was called to
the difference, and they explained that it
was an oversight and directed that
change be made, correcting the discrep-
ancy. I had the bill in my possession,
and believing that the committee had iii
authority to direct such a change, and
acting in what I considered a purely
clerical capacity. made an interlineation
so that the reading clerks salary in the
council was made to agree with mine.
This. however. did not raise my salary.
The chief clerk was absent at the
time. and when he returned mis- attention
vas called TO the matter. He said that
he thought that it was not proper. as
the bill was in his hands for safe keep
ing. I expressed a willingness that he
should erase the changes if he desired to
do SO. This he inclined to do.
i am not only willing, but anxious,
that the fullest possible investigation
should be made of this matter"
The investigation has not been conclu-
ded yet. but the friends of Mr.. Gilstrap
have no hesitancy in stating that moth
ing viii come OF the charges.

And when we'd go fishing we'd catch
So many fish that the truth wouldn't stretch
And when we'd show the fish we'd caught
No one would say they'd all been bought.
And then to think of the intense delight
OF sailing the river with party at night,
With the moon and the stars all shining so

And the waves just dancing with phosphorus

Along the shores of your bcautiflI bays.
