ton of a recorder of the court Of gen

Alderman Clifford c. Peters and John
j. Cronin, on charges of perjury. Al
derman Clifford was held in $4,000 ban
for the grand jury. Alderman Peters
the leader Of the municipal ownership
members of the board, was held III
$500 bail and Alderman Cronin was
raroled OH his own recognition for
hearing before a magistrate next FIJI
day.
The jury is alleged to have been
committed by two aldermen while tes-
tifying in the case against Clifford ana
dealt particularly with the manner ~
which the word was given to the num-
cipal ownership members to vote lor
Judge Cowing for recorder 1T is chars-
ed that Clifford accepted $4,000 from
Earl Harding. a newspaper reporter
who pretended to be acting in the ~
terests of the judge but who had no
authority therefor to swing the votes
of the IL municipal ownership league
men to Judge Cowing.
The charges against Peters are baseu
on his testimony given yesterday am
today to the effect that he did noulh-
struct the aldermen to vote for Jhdss
Cowing until after Clifford and Crohii
had already cast their votes for NM.
After hearing these two members Vo.e
he said he signalled to the others "

IMMENSE SWINE PAVILION.
swa State Fair to Have Three Acres
Of Hogs Under One Roof

The largest swine pavilion in the
world is the latest Iowa boast. 1t Is
being built on the state fair grounds
at Des Moines and when finished will
occupy three acres under roof. The
Judging ring occupies square almost
surrounded by pens.
This will be the center of attraction
for the Iowa people at their state eX-
position this year, says the Clinton
Herald. Farmers interested in swine
breeding have been urging this i'm
provement long time. Last year they
brought 2,700 hogs to the exposition,
and many others were sent back for
lack of space. This is larger exhibit
Of hogs than at all other state fairs
together, With these Improvements
the Iowa state exhibit will be kept not
only at the head of the list, but far in
the lead Of oil others.

TO CANVASS
THE RETURNS
BY OVER $4,000
Majority Was the ConStitu-
ton of the New State
Adopted---Oficial Count
Will Not Make Any Nat
rial Changes.
(sentiners Special News service)


Guthrie. Okla, Oct. S.-The state
returning board met today to can
vass the returns in the recent Okla
homa state election. under the pro-
visions of the election ordinance for
mulated by the constitutional con-
vcntion. While the complete and
official figures will not be known un-
til the board has completed its work.
II is certain that the entire Demo-
cratic state ticket, headed by c. n.
Haskell for governor, has been elect
ed by a majority of about 10000
votes. The official count is not eN-
pected to materially change these
figures. The constitution of the new
state. written by the Democratic con-
vention. was ratified by about $4,000.
1t Is practically certain that the Dem
ocrats have elected four of the five
congressman. The first state legis-
lature will be largely Democratic in
both houses. insuring the choice OF
Robert l.. owen and Thomas p. Gore
as the first United States senator's.
As soon as the canvass Of returns
is completed the returning board.
composed of Chief Justice ]. II. Bur
ford. OF Oklahoma, Judge W. II. II.
Clayton, Of Indian Territory. and
Secretary Charles Filson of the ter
ritory of Oklahoma, will certify the
result TO President Roosevelt. The
president will then have a period of
twenty days TO determine whether
the constitution adopted is in accord
ance with the enabling act and with
the constitution of the United States.
Should his decision be favorable, as
II IS expected 1t Will be, he will
then issue a proclamation declaring
Oklahoma as state. The state Off
cers will be Immediately sworn in |
and another star will be added to |
the national flag.
Charges of nagrant Irregularities |
IN the conduct of the election have |
been made by Chairman Charles |
OF the Republican state CEN
raj committee, and may serve as a
for much future litiga-
ion. ,a
