NO INCREASE IN PAY
FOR COMMISSIONERS
House Subcommittee Will
Not Recommend Sug-
geStion.

When the District Appropriation bill
is reported in the House tomorrow by
Representative Washington Gardner.
chairman Of the District subcommittee
Of the Appropriations Committee. It will
not contain a provision increasing the
salaries OF the Commissioners from
5000 to $500
Placing their salaries on a par with
those received by members of Congress
was one of the most important recon-
mendatiOns made by the Commissioners
IN submitting to Congress their esti-
mates for TIE fiscal year 1911. While no
member of the appropriations Commit
tee is wilkins to be quoted on the sub
Ject. II Is known that the committee
is almost unit In refusing to increase
salaries at this session OF Congress.
Framing Bill.
The subcommittee worked all day
Sunday on the estimates for the local
government and part Of the evening,
and put it's work into such shape ne
fore adjourning that the task Of franz
ing the bill was begun today. The
bill Will be reported to the House to-
morrow, and unless unforeseen OBJ
stacles are encountered in the Senate,
will be a law before che holiday recess
Despite the fact that the estimates
submitted by the District Commits
sioners were several millions lower this
House committee is pairing down the
estimates. While the pairing process is
not nearly so extensive as IN previous
years, Il will nevertheless amount to
quite considerable sum, and the Dis
trict government will Of necessity be
compelled to practice strict economy
during the next fiscal year to keep
within the appropriations allowed by
the House.
Hearings Held
In the week of daily sessions. besides
the Commissioners the committee heard
the Board Of Educat on. the Board Of
Charities, the trustees Of the Public
Library, and the Washington Play
grounds Association.
1t was intimated TO ri that the esti-
mates would be cut 'Lnder the general
rule Of a reduction n all lines of ap-
propriations. The Commissioners plan
for financing the extraordinary i'm
provements, by postponed payment on
the balance Of 81 100000 due the Treasury
fer advances, and setting aside from
1912 a stated sum for extraordinary i'm
provements which by 1925 would amount
to so 900 900, Will be considered by the
Committee on the District OF Columbia
as a separate bill.
The committee made II plain, also,
that Il will not adopt the proposed new
budget form OF appropriations. by which
the expenses of the District Government
are divided under eleven general heads.

GARRISON
IS GUILTY
Jury Reached Verdict on
First BaIIOt-NO
Surprise

Oklahoma City, Nov. 1S.-We. the
Jury eiapanelled in the case or the Peo-
pie Of Oklahoma County, State OF okla
homa, vs. Harvey D. Garrison, Sheriff
find him guilty as charged Z
That, really. was all. Ex-sheriff Gar.
rison arose. smiled, put on his coat, Of
fered his arm to his wife, who had sat
az his side during the bitter arraign-
ment by Attorney General West and
they followed the discharged jury from
the court room.
The Jury had been out an hour and
ten minutes when loud rap on the
door summoned the bailiffs to their
release. As quarter Of an hour. then
half an hour and then tLsee-qsiarters
passed the large audience began to
Tile out and go home, but the wiser
ones who had observed that it tsos
Presiding Judge Stillwell Russell just
forty-fiye minutes to read his instruc-
tions to the jury were less confident
The jury had taken those instructions
to their chambers with them. An hour
and ten minutes was just time to read
the instructions, send for a pitcher oil
ice water and take one ballot. And
that's what they did do, besides Civ
Ing about ten minutes to argument
with Juror Pain. the only dissenter to
the verdict of guilty.
While the Garrison trial was not a
sensational one, there was even great
er interest in it than any yet tried
here. The sensational features were
absorbed at the inception Of the So
called graft investigation that
brought Governor Haskell into court
Harvey p Garrison was appointed
by the board Of county commissioners
in May 1909, to finish out the unex-
pired term Of his father. George WI
Garrison, shot by Alt Hunter. After
his appointment from the position Of
undersheriff, some question arose as
to whether Or not man should be \
elected or appointed to fill the place
Taking advantage Of the confusion, an
election was called, in which Jack
Spain was chosen 10 fill the place. The
matter then found its way into the
courts, being carried to the supreme
court Of Oklahoma. The judicial body
handed down decision that Garrisons
appointment by the county commits
sioners entitled him to the office I'M
til time for the next election.

Oklahoma is the first state in the

an advance over all previous banking

provision allowing loans on real es-

GERS to give bond, tho provision limit
ing the amount Of deposits in proper
tion to the capital Of the bank are
each and all improvements upon the ma
tional banking law Added to these
is the guarantee feature of the law
which is It's distinctive merit. In the
recent severe test given the banking

Gates was fully yindicated. while It's
most violent opponents were compelled [
TO admit that the principle OF insui-
Ing deposits is sound. That failure.

that the law can be materially
