Shows States Funds.

AS a result of the exposure OF GER
tain methods used in handling state
funds, Albert f. Sleeper, the state
treasurer, for the first time, sent to
the governor, auditor general and
banking commissioner a monthly list
showing the state funds on deposit in
the various banks in the state.
The treasury department also issued
the first of the monthly statements
which will be issued, showing the
condition of the treasury.
The first named statement shows
that, at the close of business on Jan.
81, there was on hand a balance in
the general fund of $296. 664.SS. Only
about half of the state taxes have
been received and the fund will be
largely increased before the last of
March.
Another innovation in the depart
ment is the abandonment OF the draw.

Governor Haskell Given Ovation.

Governor Haskell was given an ovs

appear in the federal court and sign a
bond under the indictment returned
by the grand jury, charging him and
six other prominent Oklahomans with
conspiracy to defraud the government
and the Indians in the town lot dis
tribution.
The crowd clamored for a speech.
The governor responded, standing in
his automobile. He declared he had
incurred the enmity of the corpora.
tions, OF President Roosevelt and OF
the government in Washington by
championing the cause of labor and
preventing the insertion Of a clause
in the Oklahoma constitution hostile to
labor in case of strikes in the matter
of injunctions. He declared he would
establish his innocence.

Good Rules.

Two striking amendments to the
senate rules, both of which were pre-
pared by Vice-President Fairbanks.
were introduced in the senate by Mr..
Lodge and were referred to the com
mittee on rules.
Their effect is to prevent a senator
from referring extensively TO either
the president of the United States,
courts. or to the house of representa-
tives. and to put an end to the reading
of documents which have no bearing
upon subjects under discussion, where
the reading is for the sole purpose of
advancing fiilibuster.
The proposed rules are as follows:
When the reading of a paper is
called for and objected to, or when
the reading Of paper by senator is
objected to. such objection shall be
determined by a vote of the senate
without debate"
mo senator in debate shall refer
extensively to either of the other CO
ordinate departments of the govern.
ment or to the other branch OF con.
gress."

Castro Not psposed Yet.

That the new government of Vene
zuela must bring a judicial prosecu-
ton in criminal court against Cipri-
ano Castro, self-exiled president of
that country, in order to encompass
his deposition officially. was stated by
Count Luigi Aldrovandi, who arrived
in New York from Caracas on the
steamship Zulia.
The actual political situation In
Venezuela today Is a peculiar one"
said Count Aldrovandi Castro is
still the official president OF that
country under the terms of the Vene-
zuelan constitution In order to make
Gomez the constitutional president, it
will be necessary to impeach Castro
on a criminal count, and l understood
that in order to do this a judicial
prosecution will be brought against
him, based on his alleged action in
cabling to p. M. Cardenas, then a de-
partmental governor, an order for the
killing of Gomez during the riots that
followed Castro's departure from Car
acas."

from a dam on the Ontonagon river.
Not a pound of coal is used by the
company in a year. and it brushes be
tween 400 and 500 tons of rock daily
The average power used daily is about
1000 horse power, though $500 can be
developed from the dam.
The compressed air system is used,
and for the dam, canal and machinery
about $250,000 was spent. II is the
only copper mine on the entire range
that uses water power exclusively, and
the system has been a conspicuous sue
cess from the start Other mining
companies are considering installing a
similar system, and the promoters of
several power companies are already
busy here.
