TTTRN ON THE LIGHT

Last urlQay AlShV III 'A-
;4tIa Rock Attorney General
George w. Murphy addressed an
immense audience in defense OF
the four members of the penlten-
tiarv board whom Gov. Davis at
lacked in his message to the leg
is|sture. Col. Murphy did not
deal in abusive language nor bll-
Iinesgate of any character, bat
reviewed the purchase OF the con-
Wet farm, telling the facts in the
case in a clear, concise manner.
He told of the governors effort to
buv another farm, and his attitude
towards the recent purchase,
which made the chief executive
show up in rather doubtful
light. The Encouragement also
reviewed some other matters IN
Gov. Davis official career, one OF
which was his fragrant use OF the
contingent fund. Gov Davis was
invited by Col. Murphy to be
present at the speaking, but his
excellency declined the invitation
From the Records point OF Vlew'
the state of Arkansas is up
against a crisis. There have
been about enough charges made
bv those holding high offices in
the state.' If what Gov. Davis
saws of Secretary Of State Crock
cit, Attorney-General Murphy,
Auditor Monroe and Agricultural
Commissioner Bradford is true
these four officials should be LII
peached. If the governors
charges be true, these men are
not worthy to hold office. On the
other hand, if what these four
officers say about Gov. Davis is
true, the governor should be i'm
peached. In his speech the other
night Col. Murphy said enc or
the other, Gov. Davis or the fot r
members of the penitentlary
boarl, are unworthy of confidence
and should be impeachod. For
the sake of the good name OF the
state, and for the sake OF the
people stop should be called.
Let the whole matter be investi-
gated. Let all the charges be
sifted. In this connection, the
lower house of the legislature last
Friday, by a vote of "a to IA,
adopted resolution giving the
committee on ways and means
full power to inquire into all the
allegations and accusations made

ADMITS A FAILURE
Beaumont Oil Companies Organized

Shares of Stock Sold All Thru the

Special to The Journal. r.. H.. ..-
Mason City, Iowa, Oct S.-There is
much grief among the stockholders of the
various Oil companies which w. T. Brice
OF this city organized during the oil boom
at Beaumont, Texas. Rumors of the Star
Petroleum Oil company having practically
collapsed have been" rife, but the officers
mere insisted that such was not the case
until circular letter from Mr. Brice
reached here to-day. Writing under date
OF Beaumont. Mr.. Brice gives the follow
Ing information to the stockholders:
Thru the dispatches you are doubtless
aware Of the sale of the greater part of
the assets Of the Star Petroleum company
to II. A. Phillips Of Pittsburg. AS you
Know, this company took over the prop
critics Of the different corpora tions, all Of
which were organized during the 'gusher'
days on Spindle Top. and whose proper
ties We're planned in a large measure on
the expectation of the continuance of the
sushers. When they failed it was neces-
sary to rearrange the business, and the
expenditure Of an immense sum of money
was made necessary. New gushers were
found at Sour Lake, and we expected
and had reason to believe that the COM
pany would benefit largely by reason of
its large holdings Of proven oil lands and
that the original expectations would be
realized.
Unfortunately for the company, the
wells at Sour Lake suddenly ceased gush-
Ing and the management was suddenly
embarrassed for funds with which to COM
plete the work in progress, and the step
just taken was the only avenue left open
that would enable the creditors to be paid
in full and leave on hand funds with
which to produce and sell oil.
You have put in me the highest meas
ure of confidence and no efforts have
been spared to make the company a sue
cess. That 1 have not succeeded is a
bitter disappointment to me because of
the loss so many of my friends and ac-
Quaintances will sustain. With the funds
remaining measure of success may yet
be worked out, and my efforts in that
direction Will be untiring. Keen disap-
pointment may occasion unkind remarks,
but have made an honest effort and I ask
you to reserve adverse criticism until
you are acquainted with the facts"
The Star Petroleum was the merger of
ten companies, Of which Mr.. Brice was
president and general manager and was
capitalized at 100000 1000. In the gusher
days. it looked as if there would be sew
eral millionaires in this city and other
places In Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois

Butte, Mont, Oct. S.-The order to show

OF the numerous mining suits in which r.

court. 3. j. 4 n. . 81 s5>:.lf#$
At the opening of the proceedings yes

Tense, moved that, the order to show cause
be dismissed ON the ground OF defects in
the affidavit Of Alfred Frank, upon which
the proceeding was founded. It was urged
that the affidavit was not definite enough
as regards the offense that was alleged
to have been committed, the matter being
a quasi criminal proceeding.

Kelley's contention, Judge Clancy made
