eled came to light when the bodies

fed. Both victims had their valua-

aid the police in Identification. The
bodies had not been in the water

To Plant Goobers.

Caddo planters and businessmen
interested in the proposition of cul-
tivating goobers for commercial pur-
poses have a supporter in Colonel
Charles Schuler, Commissioner of
Agriculture, who thinks it will be
practicable for preserving and can
ming, and is sanguine there will be
no trouble in finding a market for
the goods. The goober vines, he says,
may be used for hay, and the plant
itself, in his opinion, will result in
fertilizer for the soil. as it is good
nitrogen producer.

morning and reached the prison at
noon. They will be Joined there by
the Oklahoma members, appointed by
Governor Haskell. What plan of or
ganization will be made will not be
known until the joint committee
meets.
The indications are that each COM
mittee will effect an organization and
that the two will then effect a joint
organization to hear the testimony.
Whether they will decide to simply
make one joint report, or whether
each Will make a separate report to
its respective state is question also
to be settled. The Kansas commission
may go even further than the Okla
homa commission. Oklahoma is in
terested only in the treatment of its
own prisoners, and the testimony on
the Kate Barnard report will call out
all that information. The Kansas
commission will likely go still furth-
er and make recommendations con-
cerning the future management of
the prison.
Kate Barnard will be called as a
witness before the committee. She has
made certain charges and the COM
mittee wants her to appear and tell
it who to call as witnesses to prove
those charges. DR.. Sheldon says she
will be a very important witness. All
witnesses will be put under oath. At
torney General Jackson of Kansas
and Attorney General West of Okla
