SCHOOL LAND
QUESTION
TAKEN UP BY THE HOUSE FISH
Err BILL UP
DISPOSITION TO DELAY ACTION
Speaker Murray Proposes an Amend
ment- Whitehurst Argues for
POstpGnemeBt

Guthrie, April 1.-THE question Of
disposing Of the Oklahoma schools
lands is at last before the legislature.
The Fisher bill providing for their
sale was taken up in the house yester-
day afternoon and it's features dis
cussed in a decidedly earnest spirit.
The bill was finally sent back to the
committee with an array Of instruc-
tions offered informally and carried al
most without question.
In those instructions the sentiment
of the house can best be analyzed.
Some Of the points are covered in
the bill and the author demonstrated
against the suggestions that are al
ready embodied. There is an unmis-
taxable sentiment for the enforcement
Of some kind Of sale Of the lands in
the house. The present bill how
ever, is unsatisfactory to many Of
the strongest advocates of the disDos-
al Of the states school lands 10 home@
seekers.
Among the instructions IS The pro-
vision that not more that 100 acres
shall be sold to any purchaser. The
lesse is to be given preference right
and mineral lands are to be segregat-
ed. The Fisher bill touches on these
points.
One important feature Of the bill
probably will be eliminated. that Is
that reserving part for state and
county purposes and sites for poor
farms. The contention Of the enemies
of this proposition is that it is ag-

THREATS
EXTRA PRECAUTIONS ARE TAKEN
AT THE WHITE HOUSE TO
PROTECT PRESIDENT

Washington, April 13.--The presi-
dents message to congress urging
drastic legislation to curb the reds
seems to have aroused all the anarch-
lists in the country. While every effort
is being made to keep it quiet it is
known that the White House has
been flooded the last few days with
letters Of protest, many Of them threat
ening.
Two facts show that extra percau-
tions have been taken. Heretofore all
packages have been opened by secre-
tary Loeb but today all packages were
sent down stairs for examination be-
fore opening. In addition to this the
secret service force at the White House
has been increased.
At the home of Postmaster General
Meyer a police patrol has been estab-
lished within the last few days. No
explanation is given Of this unusual
preeaution, but it is said that the ac
tion of the postmaster general in re
fusing anarchist publications the use
of the mails has caused threats to be
directed toward him.

BROWN MURDER TRIAL

continued this afternoon, the theory
of self defense being developed.
The story Of the killing as brought
out in the testimony is substantially as
follows:
Lewis Hilliger was a tenant of Bob
Brown and they lad trouble over the
contract, the latter complaining that
Hillger was not doing what he agreed
to do. III feelings arose between them
and threats were made. On the morn
ing Of the killing, Hilleger and his
family were at Goochs home when
Bob Brown rode up to bring some
washing Brown got out Of his buggy
and came toward the house and the
two men greeted each other, accord
ing to Gooch, @Howdy Lewis How
dy BobE or words to that effect. The
defenset claims that Hi1leger made a
motion to get his gun, but Gooch and
the boy testified that Brown began
firing before Hilleger made any move
to shoot. At any rate Brown went
to his buggy, got his Winchester and
began to shoot. After Brown fired
Hilleger opened up, and ran around
the house, several shots being ex
shanged.
Witnesses for the defense testified
as to threats made by the deceased
against Brown and a conversation was
related in which Hilleger and his
brother-in-law had talked Of getting
Brown at the mill.
