WHO SPENDS THE MONEY.
Librarian Made by Law to Disburse
CONTINGENT Fund,

contingent funo.
Guthrie o. t. April 10-An interesting
little episode relative to the handling of
the contingent fund appropriated by the
legislature for the territorial librarian
has just come to light. For several years
it has been the custom for the board of
directors of the library consisting of the
judges of the supreme court, to handle
the contingent fund, issuing vouchers
upon a requisition made by the librarian.
This year the appropriation bill stares
thaat the contingent fund is TO be expend-
ed under the direction of the librarian
The appropriation law In this particular
case reads as follows: ITO the territorial
librarian for his salary, the sum of s720
per annum for the years 19034sOi; for his
deputy the sum of s720 per annum; for
the contingent expenses of his Office, in
eluding rent. light and fuel for the years
1903-1904, the sum of $3.50 per annum. Tbs
said sum to be expended under the direc-
tion OF the territorial librarian. And the
further sum of $3.50 per annum to be ex-
pended for furniture. shelving and NOV
ing the library, and the further sum Of
81 600 per annum for the purchase of
books for said library. The sum provided
for the furniture and books shall be ex-
pended under the direction of board Of
directors consisting of judges OF the su-
preme court of Oklahoma"
A question was raised In regard to the
spending of the contingent fund approprt-
ated and the librarian insisted on issuing
the vouchers for the same. Chief Justice
Burford held that the money should be
in the control of the board Of directors
of which he was meulber. The librarian
thought not and secured an opinion from
the attorney generals Office holding that
it was not necessary for the librarian tn
so to the board of directors. Chief Jus
tice Burford then wrote a letter TO Audit
or Baxter requesting him not to honor
vouchers on the contingent fund issued
by the librarian. An opinion from the
attorney generals Office holding for the
librarian apparently settled the matter
and at this stage of the game the libra
rian seemingly has the better Of the sis-

Other Negroes Allow Muir

Pawnee. o. T, April 1o.-A shooting
scrape that will almost certainly ternin-
ate fatally, occurred at Contractor John
Palmers railway camp, seventeen miles
northwest of Ralston, Tuesday afternoon,
says the Times-Democrat. A white man,
who was cooking for the gang, was the
gro who did the shooting, escaped and a
posse of officers is now in search Of him.
The name of the cook has not been learn
ed. There were % negroes and five white
men, including the boss, in the grading
gang, and the trouble had been brewing
for several days. When the negroes were
eating dinner Tuesday they abused the
cook over the way the meal had been
prepared. Hodge cursed him and be-
came so threatening in his manner that
the cooks wife hit Hodge over the head
with a cleaver. Hodge then borrowed
revolver from John Jackson, one Of his
companions, and shot three times at the
cook, the third bullet entering his back
and causing a wound that it is believed
will prove fatal. The white men in the
gang tried to prevent the shooting, but
were overawed by the negries, who per-
mitted Hodge to get away unmolested.
After the shooting the negroes left the
camp. Eleven of them were placed un-
der arrest at Ralston Tuesday night for
examination. Two of them were brought
10 Pawee yesterday. also another member
of the gang who was arrested at Skeedee.
The prisoners now in jail as a result Of
the occurrence are: John Jackson, held as
accessory to the shooting having fur
nished the revolver with which the crime
was committed; j. NJ. Green and w. NJ
Henderson, charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons A z5-calibre revolver was
found on Green, and Henderson had or
n6mented himself with a butcher knife
the blade of which was 10 inches long.
If the wounded man dies, this will be
the fourth murder at or near railroad
camps in this section within the past
few months. AS this crime was commit
ted in the Usage reservation the trial
will be at the expense of the government.
"a vigorous prosecution is expected.

Urging on Trouble.

Amsterdam, April 10.-The workmen's 5
defense committee decided today 10 pro-
claim cessation Of the general strike AZ
midday. The strike was never really ef-
fective. The workmen's defense commit
tee has issued a manifesto explaining
that continuance of the strike will only
expose the strikers to the vigorous penal
ties of the new nati-strike bill which has
practically become a Law. The committee
has therefore decided to leave each trade
union free to act as 1t thinks best
The calling off of the strike has resulted
in the holding Of angry mass meetings
of strikers. The anarchists and socialists
are busy exploiting the situation, urging
the men to ignore the committee and 10
continue the strike. The men are inclined
to follow this course, finding themselves
confronted by dismissal and toodeepiy
committed to withdraw. Some rioting
occurred at the gas works tonight the
police charging a mob of strikers who
were intinidating the noa-strikers.

BOYS CANNOT GO.
No Appropriation to Pay MiIitia's Es-
penSes.

Guthrie, o. T., April 10.-The Oklahoma
commission to the st. Louis exposition
has given up the idea of taking companies
OF the Oklahoma National Guard to St.
Louis at the time the exposition buildings
are dedicated. t was the intention of
the commission to take three companies
of the guard to st. Louis at that time,
but the opinion yesterday by Attorney
General Roberts holding that there is no
appropriation for the same. made it prac
ticaliy impossible to do this.
Secretary Fred /. Wenner of the COM
mission, was in the city this afternoon
from Kingfisher. in conference with the
governor relative TO the matter. He ex-
pressed regret that it could not be done,
and stated that the commission was anx-
ious for Oklahoma militiamen to appear
in st. Louis, as it would have been a
splendid advertisement for the territory.
Under the existing conditions only the
governor and his staff can go and have
their expenses paid. There is a specific
fund by which these expenses may be
paid. If other members of the Guard
desire to visit St. Louis at that time,
they will have the privilege of paying
their own bills.
The plans for the dedication of the Ok
iahoma building are rapidly nearing COM
pletion. Invitations have been issued to
territorial officials, judges OF the supreme
court, delegate to congress, the ex-dele-
gate TO congress, and other persons of
prominence in Oklahoma. Governor Fer
guson will give the principal address
when the cornerstone is laid.
There has been a rumor going the
rounds that some changes were contem-
plated on the commission to the exposi-
zion. When asked about the matter Gov
ernor Ferguson said: II had never heard
of the rumor before, consequently know
nothing OF it. No changes have been con-
femplated at all. The men were on the
commission when I came into the gov
ernor's Office. and as they have progress
ed well with their work. It would be a
great inconvenience TO make any changes
at this time"
One of the objections made is that all of
the members of the commission are on
the west Wide Side, and near one an
ether In many respects this is an ad-
Vantage, as they can confer with each
other frequently.

BOOKMEN
LOOK FOR
HARVEST
Each Village May Contract for
Its Own Supplies.
ALREADY ON GROUND
Most of the Text Book Makers
are Represented

Guthrie. o. T., April 10.-Oklahoma at
the present time is proving to be an at
tractive field for representatives Of book
concerns who are desirous of securing
contracts in various school districts for
their houses E. A. Brennan, represent
ing CHM & Co., manufacturers Of text
books, arrived here this week to look over
the field. Mr.. Brennan announced that he
expected to remain in Oklahoma during
the summer for the purpose of making all
the contracts possible for his house.
The American Book company, through
one of it's representatives, has stated that
it viii send men into every county Of the
territory to secure contracts. The contem-
plated action of the American company
is said to mean that representatives of
other concerns will come to Oklahoma to
secure as many contracts as possible.
w. w. Robertson, the resident repre-
sentative of Maynard, Merrill & Co., Is
already In the field. He was in Guthrie
during the session Of the last Legislature,
working against the passage of text
book bill. His company had a number
of contracts with villages and school dis
tricts, and did not desire these contracts
disturbed by the passage Of six-year
contract law. Crane & Co. has sent
representative to Oklahoma, and this per-
son has attempted to make contracts with
educational papers in the territory to
push the company's books. 1t is stated
that this company will work Oklahoma
for all contracts possible. Representa-
tives of other companies were here just
at the close of the legislature to look UP
the situation, and stated at that time that
they would be here later on to look after
business for their houses.
From indications, it is taken to mean
that districts will be well canvassed by
book men in order to get all possible con-
tracts This means much rivalry There
will be no uniform series of text books,
as was desired by many educators. There
is difference of opinion relative to uni
form text books, however, for some edu-
Gators declared 1t the thing for rural dis
tricts- These men are connected with
high schools and did not care to have
the text books now used changed.
