HOW 1T MAY Be DONE.
Something Needful in the Township
Assessor Middle.

Guthrie, o. r.. March 2s-Governor
I. B. Ferguson has announced that there
Will be no special session OF the legisla-
ture 10 rectify the defects in the new

taken up with the governor Saturday.
but after careful consideration OF the
law. he decided that IL would not be good
policy to call the members Of the Iegfs-
lature together at this time. Under the
organic act the governor has power to
convene the Legislature but there Is no
limit TO the length OF the session. Ror no
la VITO confne the body TO any special
matter Of legislation.
After looking into the matter" said
the governor today. Il do not believe "a
necessary 10 call the legislature together

that u was FIRST thought The legisla-
ture could be convened all right. hut. like
the Dawes commission. IL might go on
forever or at least until the two years

elected. BY having the township trus-
tees qualify. who are ex-officio assessors
the work can be carried on"

GERTRUDE
WADW0RTH'S
SUICIDE
Said to Have Been Caused by
IndiScretion.
HANDSOME AND EDUCATED
With Money in Her Own Right,
Preferred Death.

Chandler, o. T.. March 23-Though the
account given recently of the suicide of
the Indian girl. Gertrude Wadworth, was
in the main correct, yet in some of the
matters wrong information had been re-
ceived.
Miss Wadworth was a finely educated
and handsome woman. and is said to have
had considerable money in her OWN right
She came to this county a few days ago
to visit the girls at the agency. one
of whom is in the employ of the school
there, and had taken them 10 Okla
homa City. paying all the expenses OF the
trip. They had us returned to Stroud
and were all at hotel ne officer i'm
agining that the girls were of a queS-
tionable character and thinking they were
al the hotel in company with some trav-
cling men, raided the hotels and ARE stei
the girls The only man found in their
company was a sort of a tramp barber
who had made their acquaintance. He
and the Wadswortti girl, it seems. were
drinking. They were taken into the police
court and fined 81 0each. The agency
girls said they would go home and send
back the money. The Wadworth girl said
a gentleman in Stroud had some OF her
money and she would go get II. The
teleSraphed a bank at Seneca but there
was some delay in hearing from there and
she told one of the girls she couldn't
stand the disgrace and believed she would
XIII herself. The girls didn't think she
meant il and went on TO the agency.
After they were gone she went into a
drug store and bought two ounces OF
carbolic acid. She then went TO another
store and back to the water bucket
.f.-
acid as the empty bottle was found there
She then started out on the street again
and it is supposed walked on as far as
she could and then into the photograph
gallery and fell.
Some woman at Stroud tells that she
saw the girl have a large roll Of money
and as she had none when she was fined
is was suspicioned that the man Chandler
had secured it from her in some way
and as soon as il was known she had
taken the acid a search was made for hi n
When found he was getting out of Stroud
and had shaved his mustache of and
in other ways changed his appearance.
Some one tells that he heard Chandler
say: THE Indian girl was stuck on him
and he intended getting a good piece Of
her money" He has told several different
stories as to who he is and where he
came from and is being held by the Off
GERS until the girls guardian can be COM
municated with as to whether or not she
had a large sum Of money with her.
The letter found spoken of was written !
to her cousin and talked OF family and ;
social matters entirely and evidently had
been written before she formed the idea /
Of taking her own life.

Proposed Charter Provisions.

One of the most important reports
yet submitted TO the charter convention
is that presented by the committee on
public utilities. The report is divided
into four chapters, designated as fol-
lows: Public utilities. works and ways;
franchises for public utilities; fran
chises for particular utilities with sub
divisions treating of street and other
railways, and operation. This last
chapter is still incomplete. as the COM
mittee is awaiting data. The report is
very lengthy, covering over thirty
pages of typewriter matter.
Section l of chapter l provides that
the city and county of Denver shall
territorial limits to construct, con-
denim. purchase. acquire. lease. add TO.
maintain. own, conduct and operate,
water works. light and power plants.
transportation systems, heating plants
and other public utilities or other
works or ways, local in use and extent,
in whole or in part, and everything re-
quired therefor for the use of said city
and county and for the inhabitants
thereof. The section also provides that
no contract or agreement for the acqui
sition, or for the leasing or disposing
of any public utility SO acquired by the
city and county shall be entered into
by the council without first submitting
the same to the voters. 1t is provided
in section 2 that the city may acquire
public utilities by enforcing proposed
purchases by proceedings in law as in
the taking of land for public use by
right of eminent domain under the con-
stitution and general laws of the state
Section provides that within one
from tho tiYfia tho gb n
to effect arrangements must be made
for the city to acquire Its own water
works. and the mayor and engineer are
authorized to enter into written con-
tracts upon the best terms possible for
the acquisition of properties necessary
for the establishment of the city water
works. and that before the same shall
become binding IL shall be submitted to
vote Of the people for approval. Sim
liar arrangements must also be made
within suitable time for the acquisition
by the city of the other public utilities
mentioned in chapter /. II is also pro-
vided that by means of the initiative
and referendum five per cent. of the
voters can call upon the commissioner
of public utilities 10 submit PROPOSE
tions for the acquisition by the city of
any public utility desired. and that the
voters shall then ballot on such prop
osition.
In submitting propositions looking
toward the requirement of any public
utilities the estimated cost of securing
the same must be made public to the
voters and the amount of bonds neces-
sary to be issued for the purchase of
the same. A majority of the electors
voting shall be necessary to carry such
propositions. No bonds can be issued
without the consent of the voters.
