Mr. Colbert stated that at the election
held the 18th of this month he was not
interested enough to go to the polls and
vote.
With reference to his membership in
the Tribal Development company, Mr..
Colbert said that he was absent at the
organizat ton and that some Of his friends
who had gone into the company re-
served some stock for him. and that he
feared complications might arise from
his being a member of the companysand
that four weeks after the organization
he surrendered his stock.
Mr. Colbert stated that Ben c. Collins

held was sent to the department and
his appointment was approved
Mr.. Colbert said he was differently sit

this is his home. and that he had acquired
business interests here before being ap-

that there is not one word of truth in
the statement that he had used his Of

enterprises or that he had neglected his
duties. Mr.. Colbert did not take the
matter seriously and does not believe
that the filing of the charges will amount
to anything.

EDMOND FUND
TO Be USED
Governor Ferguson Gives His
Opinion on Subject
SPECIAL ACT FOR TONKAWA
But That Does Not Apply to
the Other Schools.

Guthrie. o. T. Aug. 27.-In commenting
on the test suit to determine whether or
not the $4,000 now in the territorial
treasury for use at Edmond can be ex-
pended under the new law, Governor
Ferguson expressed the opinion that the
money can be used as intended.
There is no question in my mind but
that the money can be used at Edmond"
said the governor. Some of the mem
bers of the board of education for nor
NAL schools have based their conclusion
that it cannot be expended there under
the new LAW. on a clause in the law re-
ferring to the Tonkawa Preparatory
school When the board of regents of
the Tonkawa school began the construc-
ton of the building one section OF the
law authorized the board TO expend S15, COO
for building and equipment Another
section seemingly authorized them to ex-
pend the entire amount of what was
raised by the tax levy. which was about
$24, 900, for building and equipment. This
was not done. however, and 1t was deemed
advisable, owing to the construction Of
the law. TO have special act Because
there was a special act for Tonkawa's 5
school some members of the board> Of
education feel htat it is necessary 10 Sc
cure a special act authorizing the ex-
penditure of the Edmond fund. do not
consider this is necessary.
BY diverting that fund to the COM
mon school fund. it would seriously han
dicap the work at Edmond and in some
respects it might be disastrous. / hope
that the courts will give Up a favorable
decision. That money was saved TO be
expended for special purposes and be-
cause of the fact that the board of edu-
cation has been saving, expecting to spend
the money for good purposes, is no rea-
son why it should go to the common
school fund, to the detriment of terri
torial institution.

AS TO INSANE C0NVICTS
Oklahoma Can Care for Them
Even If Deemed Sane.
AS TO INSANE CONVICTS

Guthrie. @. T., Aug. 27-In the event
that persons from Oklahoma confined in
the Kansas penitentiary are declared in
sane and returned by Kansas authorities,
and this decision is not confirmed by
Oklahoma insanity boards, laws enacted
by the last legislature are broad enough
to permit of Governor Ferguson letting
contracts for the care of prisoners in Ok
lahoma Under the contract between
Kansas and Oklahoma with reference to
the care of Oklahoma's insane, Oklahoma
cannot return convicts TO the Kansas pen
itentiary after they have been adjudged
insane without an examination by the
Kansas authorities. In the event that they
are not declared Insane in Oklahoma, 1t
is improbable that they could be immedi-
ately admitted to the penitentiary. That
being the case, it is up TO Oklahoma Off
cials to arrange for the care of convicts
in Oklahoma Persons adjudged insane in
oklahoma after being returned from Kan
sas can be placed in the Sanitarium at
Norman. Those convicts not adjudged in
sane in Oklahoma must be taken care of
in some manner. One of the lows of the
last legislature provides that contracts
may be made with individuals for the
care of prisoners and another law states
that contracts may be made with coun-
ties for working convicts on the roads. In
addition to these two laws, it is said that
there are other provisions which may be
made by the governor and territorial Off
Gals
There are some convicts being returned
to Oklahoma who are not believed to be
insane. and it is not improbable that con-
tracts will be made with counties to place
these persons at road work. The plan
has already been talked of. and some time
ago application was made to Governor
Ferguson for men, but the matter was
never definitely concluded.
1t is probable that such convicts as
Conrad Mas and others may have an op-
portunity to help improve Oklahomas
roads, instead of being placed in the
Sanitarium at Norman or retained in the
Kansas penitentiary. Mas goes to Blaine
county, and it is something of a prob
lem to know what to do with him, but
with broad laws. if he is insane he can
be taken care of in some manner.

hAGGLING OVER
THE SMITH CASE
Sheriff Cushing Says lie viii Not
Bring The Prisoner Here.

Complications are arising IN the
Smith murder case, and it looks as
though the Judge OF the district
court will be called upon to straight
en- things out. 1t was the intention
to have given Smith his preliminary
examination in Tonopah the past
week, but the absence of his attor-
neys, Vermiyea Il Bartlett, led to II
postponement 1t is stated now that
Sheriff Cushing, acting under advice
other than that of the district attor-
ney, will not bring the prisoner to To-
nopah, giving as reason that it would
ieopardize Smiths life at the present
time to do so. On the other hand
District Attorney Richards insists
that he shall be brought here, and
on Monday he will have an order
served on Sheriff Gushing directing
him to bring Smith here forthwith
This order the sheriff states he will
ignore. 1t remains then for the mat
ter to 90 before Judge Breen of tn
district court on contempt or man
damus proceedings, and no doubt a
order will issue from that court di
recting that he be brought here a
once. Evidently a play for time
being made by Smiths attorneys.
