SPECIAL
SESSION
PROMISED
To Amend Bank Guar
ATTY Law and Other
Urgent Measures

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 1l--It is stated
that Governor Haskell viii either to-
day or Monday issue his proclamation
convening a special session of the
legislature in Guthrie during the first
week OF anuary
The governor has not yet commit
ted himself upon the proposition and
refuses to be interviewed thereon,
but close friends state that he has de-
cided to issue the call.
The governor has been eyerse to
the holding Of a special session this
winter; but many unforeseen things
have occurred during the past few
months which demand attention and
no relief can be given except by legis-
lative action.
II Is stated that the governor will
urge only a brief session and that
only urgent matters be taken up. It
is said that amendments will be made
to the bank guaranty law; that the
failure of the last Legislature to make
appropriations for the maintenance Of
the school for the blind at Fort Glib
son, South Central Normal school at
Ada and the Girls Industrial school
at Chickasha, will be remedied and
some action taken to give relief to the
crowded conditions at state institu-
tions.
The State Lessees' Union, which has
been anticipating a special session OF
Tue legislature, has been sending out
literature in an effort to arouse senti
ment in favor Of the passage of a bill
providing for the sale of all the school
land. The 1000 families living on
this school land, all of which is To-
Gated in the western half Of the state
with two or more sections in each
congressional township, claim that the
renting system is unsatisfactory and
that they are desirous OF becoming
permanently located and erecting
homes. The land was appraised in 1895
AZ a little over $30,O00,O0O. an average
OF $40 an acre, exceeding improve
ments, which the lessees own them
selves, amounting to several Thousand
dollars in some instances.

CLOSE ESTIMATE ON
Al BIG CONTRACT


A feature Of the bidding for con
struction of the Industrial School
building, as shown on the opening of
the bids at Guthrie few days ago,
which is worthy Of note was the small
difference in the figures submitted by
two Of the bidders, namely. the West
ern Construction Company of this city,
whose bid was $4,000, while that Of
the Belts Construction Company of
Topeka, Kan, was $4,000 But $4,000
difference on such large contract
certainly demonstrates careful figur-
ing. This is more remarkable when
II is noticed that the highest bid was

GREEK SUSPECTED
Of ARSON ATTEMPT
Police Believe Man Endangered
Lives of Sleepers to Get
Insurance Money

OAKLAND. Dec. 29.-Out of an in
vestigation of the cause of a midnight
fire which damaged a frame building at
1714 Seventh street and imperiled the
lives of eight negroes who were sleep
ing in lodging house in the second
story last Monday night has come the
arrest of James Dimas, a Greek, owner
of the property, whom the police sus-
pect of attempted arson The belief is
that Dimas sought $1,000 insurance on
the property.
The first suspicious circumstance was
Dimas denial that the building was in
sured. The police learned that there is
insurance of $1,500 on the structure.
This started further investigation and
this morning two empty five gallon
gasoline tanks were found in the rear
of a barber shop, which occupies the
first floor, and in which the fire started.
During the burning Of the building
last Monday evening Policemen Under
wood, Gallagher and Thornbury suf-
fered slight burns of the face and
hands when they ran up the stairs to
awaken the sleeping negro dodgers.
All the occupants were got out of the
place and the fire department extin-
guished the blaze before the damage
was great.

HANDSOME WOMAN

Symphony in Brown Said to
Have Attempted to Swindle
Berkeley Merchants

BERKELEY, Dec. "a dashing
young woman, described to the police
as a symphony in brown. Invaded the
business portion of this city yesterday
and this morning and, as a result. the
police are on her trail seeking her ar
rest on a charge of attempting to Sc
cure money under false pretenses. The
young woman is said to be shapely and
comeIy, with a brown tailor made gown
which matched perfectly her brown
eyes and hair
The woman entered the Offices of the
Baldwin investment company, 261O
Shattuck avenue, and was met by G. IL.
Baldwin. She said that her errand was
to solicit funds for the Church OF the
First Born, and she wanted a contri-
button from the company.
Baldwin was suspicious; as the
woman seemed to be nervous. and fear
full that some one would come into the
store. Baldwin asked her where the
church was. located, but the young
woman hastily walked out the door
without answering the question. She
is said to have visited other offices in
Dwight way.

force was detailed on the case by Chief
Vollner, burt could find no trace of

STUDENTS TO GIVE
SYMPHONY CONCERT
Difficult Music Will Be Feature
of Spring Program of Uni
versity Orchestra

BERKELEY, Dec. 29.-More preten-
tious plans than any heretofore at
tempted by university musical or
ganization are being made for next
semester for the university orchestra
by Paul Steindorff, the director, and
Prof. r. F. Scholz, president Of the club.
= The program for the spring will be
announced at the opening of the uni
versity in January. 1t is known. how
ever, that on it's return to college the
orchestra will begin rehearsals for a
symphony concert to be given early in
April, and possibly as a feature of the
semicentennial celebration in May. A
Beethoven symphony probably will be
attempted.
A half hour of music and a program
at a university meeting are part of
the program for the semester.
The orchestra, organized by Pro-
fessor Scholz, one of the most popular
members of the faculty, occupies a
unique position in that university
credit is given for its work in concert
and at rehearsal. This has had the
effect of arousing great interest in the
work, and as the club contains many
musicians of more than ordinary tall
ent, the success OF the difficult SYM
phony concert, which is to be tried as
an experiment, seems assured.

SOCIETY is BLAMED
FOR IMMORAL WAYS
Probation Officer Ruess Says
Attitude of Community Is
Cause of Laxness

OAKLAND, Dec. 29.-The standard of
morality of the community which con-
dones in man what il condemns in a
woman was the real cause for the fall
ing of many. young girls, declared Pro-
baton Officer Christopher Ruess today.
The probation officer said that the So
cial body was much more to blame than
the individual
The real offender" Ruess said, 'is
the community, with it's double stand
ard of morals and its laxness in this
respect; and the real remedy lies rather
in the education of the community than
in the old and falling method of deter
renee by severity.
.Sureness of justice, rather than its
severity, is the better deterrent, and
with. probation possible, where reason
able complaints and prosecutions are
called for. is more apt TO be effective"
This statement was included in a re-
port that Ruess made TO Judge Wells.
The occasion for the. report was the
case of G. iGionettis a boy, who pleaded
guilty to assault upon a 16 year old
girl:
When the boy first asked for proba-
tion Ruess reported unfavorably, be-
lieving that tine crime of which the boy
was guilty, coupled with the circum-
stances, made him an unfit subject for
leniency. Today he announced a change
of mind and recommended that Gionet-
ii be placed. on probation. Previous to
changing his mind Ruess consulted with
the members of the county probation
committee, who were in favor of prcba-
tion for the boy.
According to Ruess Gionetti seemed
to think that he had done nothing
wrong, though admitting the offense.
Ruess therefore called to account the
social conditions that permit a. man or
boy to have such thoughts. The girl
is now at the Whittier state school, as
it developed during the investigation
of the case that she was of previous
bad character and was in need of care
full training and good surroundings.
Judge Wells placed Gionetu on pro-
baton for five years.

WANTS $4,000 FROM
ESTATE OF j. A. YOELL
Widow of Lawyer Asks for Big
Allowance

Testimony. was given in Judge Gra-

port of her petition for family allow
ance of s2e0 month from the estate,
to date back to the death of her hus-
band.
If her petition is granted it means
that about $4,000 will be awarded her.
The YoeIl estate, which has been the
subject of several contests, is still in
probate.
The .executrix of the will, Mrs. Eva
Levy, daughter of Yoell and his first
wife. contests the application of the
widow, claiming that by the deed of
separation entered into between Yoeli
and Mrs. Emily c. Yoell the latter was
generously provided for. Mrs. Yoell on
her part contends that the benefits she
received from that agreement were

OPPOSED TO A UNION
WITH CITY OF OAKLAND
San Leandro Chamber of Conn
merce Against Consolidation

SAN LEANDRO, Dec. 29.-That San
Leandro should not consolidate with
any other municipality at the present
time was the opinion expressed BY
the members OF the chamber of COM
merce at the annual meeting held last
Monday evening. IL was declared that
this city would gain nothing except
five cent fare from a union with oak
land. while on the other hand San
Leandro would lose her identity and
would have TO pay a higher rate of
taxation than now.
Postmaster Charles O. Rideout and
others argued that this city now
possesses all the improvements of a
larger city, such as well paved streets,
plenty Of lights. good schools and a
public library. with fine sanitary con-
venienees. As a result of this express
sion of opinion by the members, the
resolution offered at a former meeting
advocating a consolidation was with
drawn.
The annual election OF officers re-
suited as follows: Mayor j. j. Gill,
president; DIR. f. c. Stoakes. vice
president W. F. Cunningham, seere-
tary; Alan G. Clarke. treasurer
