GOVERNOR HASKELL
AND THE GRAND JURY

Tulsa, Ok, May 15.-Governor Has
kell tonight gave out the following
statement regarding Judge Marshalrs
action In dlsmissing the grand jury
today.
1T looks to me as If the attorneys
for the government thought they were
the grand jury. What IS the use of
having grand jury if the district at
torney and special attorney general
can override the grand jury and deny
it the right to exercise Its honest
judgment
The district attorney made his
statement and the government has
submitted all the evidence 1t has In
the Hutchlngs-TuTner case. Tne grand
jury, in the exercise of its proper
junction, held the evidence insufi-
cient TO find an Indictment against
the men. Because the government as.
torneys did not agree with the grand
jury on subjects and facts involved
they asked and obtained its discharge
We Will At any time &c ready to
answer any charges OF undue mflu-
cnce used upon the grand jury or of
n
rate, we shall ask the attorneys for
the government to answer charges of
gross misconduct upon their part"
Tulsa. Ok. May 15.-Upon motion
OF the government, John A Marshall
Of Utah in the United States circuit
court here today, dismissed the grand
jury empaneled last Tuesday TO re-
Investigate the Muskogee town lot
fraud cases. Judge Marshall upheld
the government contention that the
jury had been subjected To impropcr
influences. The motion 10 dismiss the
Jury was made because 1t failed to
md indictments against c. w. Tur.
ner and w, T. Hutchings Following
the dismissal Judge Marshall ordered
another grand jury OF sixteen men to
report next Tuesday. Judge Marshall
also ordered all witnesses subject to
the call of the court.

Board of Education Finds Plan
Which Will do Away With
Old Trouble.

The city board of education met last
evening In special session for the pur-
pose of employing teachers for the
grade schools and determining the sal
aries OF said teachers. The list is
rather a long one and the board. being
imbucd with the spirit of economy, 10

the school revenues. is carefully con-
sidering the matter.
There are SO many things for con-
sideration II was impossible for the
board TO arrive at definite conclu-
sion last evening. Tho question was
wrcstled with until u late hour, no
conclusion being reached. The board
finally adjourned until tomorrow night
at o'clock. when the matter viii
again be taken up and very likely set
tied.
The form OF the contract for all
teachers was settled upon by the board
at the meeting Tuesday night. and
II WAS sent out for tdeir conSidcra-
ton. IL provides for a slight raise
in the aggregate amount Of salaries.
but provides for the payment of the
same In ten installments, rather than
nine which was provided for last
year. This means that tho install
meuts arc somewhat smaller than t1ey
were last year and some Of the teach
crS. not fully understanding the terms
OF tho contract arrived at the con-
clusion that they were not getting as
big salary this year as they did last
A little explanation to the teachers
on this score, however, soon settled
that question.
The object of tho board in provid-
ing for the payment OF the teachers
in ten installments rather than nine
was brought about because OF the fail
ure OF some of the teachers under last
years contract 10 fulfill their agree
ment, quitting tncir positions before
the expiration OF the school year, ard
leaving the board of education In the
lutch. Ii was thought by the board
and 1t is so provided in the contract
Tor this year. that the last payment
snail be withheld until after the time
of the closing OF the schools, and If
there be any teachers guilty of jump
ing their jobs befor the end OF the
ing their jobs before the end of the
forthcoming The action OF two
teachers in violating their contract
with the board of education last year

escape from what might have been a
serious accident when ne drove his

1t has been the custom; ror the
drivers employed by the brewery TO
drive their outfits into the ford at this
point for the purpose of wasbiag them.

the bottom OF the ford had been cut
away and the team encountered a
swift current which carried them rap
idly down stream for a distance OF
200 Yards
With extreme difficulty and at the
risk OF losing his life in the swift cur
rent Wright succeeded In catching
the frantic horses by the bit and head
ing them towards a place OF SAFETY
when within but a few seconds they
must certainly have been swept off

onto the tongue the outfit was at last
safely pulled out upon the bank, none
