INSURANCE COMMISSIONERS
WILL PERMIT DIVISION

Guthrie, Okla, May 1S.--In response
to an inquiry made by r. w. Bates,
special agent of the Home Insurance
company of New York, Insurance Com
missioner Miles Lasater has ruled that
the acceptance of business by licens-
ed Oklahoma agent. through licens-
ed broker Of some other state. and the
division of commission thereon, is not
a violation of the Oklahoma resident
agents's law.
1t has developed that large lines of
business in Oklahoma have gone out
of the state for insurance and the
state thereby lost the 2 per cent that
would otherwise have been paid to
Oklahoma, because it was considered
that an Oklahoma agent could not ac-
Icept business from the brokers con
trolling those risks and allow q divis-
ion Of such commission without d vio-
lation Of the laws
This matter having been officially
settled, there will be no further ex-
cuse for the brokers Of large insur-
ance interests to place only a few
thousands Of dollars in two or three
authorized Oklahoma companies and
then go to London Lloyds,s or other
like insurance companies. for the ball
ance of their insurance.
The effect of this decision vii be
a saving to the state Of the 2 per cent
tax on thousands OF dollars OF prem
iums heretofore lost.

HASKELL BLOCKS
OPT|ON|STS PLAN
Unless Compelled to do so BY Mauda-
mus Governor viii Not Call
an Election.

Guthrie, Okla, May 1S.--It became
evident here yesterday that there viii
be no election for the adoption of high
license and local option to replace
prohibition in Oklahoma unless Gov
ernor Haskell is compelled by man.
damus of the supreme court of the
state to issue the proclamation. Gov
ernor Haskell has stated to friends
that he will not call an election upon
the local option petitions until the
question Of the constitutionality Of
the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution Is established.
Attorneys have advised the prohibi.
tionists that the governor cannot be
legally forced TO witness the dotach-
ing Of the signatures to the petitions
or call the election as no mandamus
action in the courts of Oklahoma
would lie against him. Therefore they
believe the governor is secure in his
position and that the antis must have
the constitutionaIity of their proposed
amendment tested and sustained If
they would have an election proclama-
tion issued.
Governor Haskell has allied himself
with the prohibitionists Of the state
from the start and takes his present
position in pursuit of this policy. The
governors attitude is also interpreted
to be aimed at the candidacy Of Leslie
P, Ross, of Lawton, the anti-prohibi-
tion and anti-administration demo-
cratic candidate for governor.
If the local option proposition were
voted upon at the primary election, or
at the general election Ross might
be swept into the governors chair up
on wave of local option sentiment.
IL the anti-prohibitionist can be forced
to test the constitutlonality of their
amendment ii the courts the matter
would not be finally disposed of in
time to assist Ross in his candidacy.
Ross, as insurgent leader in the house.
was most bitter in his attacks upon
Governor Haskell and his entire ad-
ministratlon although one Of the old
line and staunch democrats.

COUNCIL DECIDES
ON ECONOMY PLAN
Positions Of All Extra Policemen
Abolished Leaves only Chief And
One Assistant.

Deciding upon a course of economy
the city council. at its regular meet
ing last night, adopted a resolution
|abolishing two offices in the police de-
partment. This will leave only the
|cnief and one assistant. It is under
stood that Trott, Chandler and Me-
Camish will be dismissed according
to the terms of this resolution. A
similar resolution was introduced in
the old council and resulted in tie
vote, with the mayor voting to retain
the officers.
The action in adopting the resolu-
tion last night is taken as the first
step the democratic majority has
taken toward retaliation upon the re-
publicans
A regrettable incident of the meet.
ing last night was the resignation Of
Alderman J. H. Winner, Of the first
ward, who says his business makes it
impossible for aim to perform the
duties of an alderman. The council
elected Chas. Fl. Goodpaster to fill the
vacancy.
The matter Of naming the official
paper for the city came up but no dc.
cision was made by the council other
than the adoption of a resolution by
Alderman Starr to let the city print
ing to the lowest bidder. -The city
clerk was instructed to notify the
local printing establishments to pre-.
sent bids for the city printing at the
next meeting of the council.
The water committee of the Com,
mercial club consisting of D. H. viii
son, F. s. E. Amos Judge L. F. Parker.
]. A. Wise and L. D. Dalquest was
present and requested the council to
adopt the meter system on the city
water plant The council had already
decided to adopt this plan, and had
the contract for meters drawn up and
ready for approval This contract OF
meters to be paid for by the patrons
at ss4O each.

EXCITING CLIMAX
IN BALL|NGER CASE
Author of Famous Memorandum De-
cIares Brandeis Uttered DELHI
crate Untruth-Rebuked.

Washington, May 1S.-An exciting
climax in the Ballinger-Pinchot in
vestigation came late yesterday when
Assistant Attorney General Oscar
Lawler, author of the now famous
Lawler memorandum, rose wrathfully
from the witness seat and accused
Attorney Brandeis of uttering delib-
crate untruth. After he had been re-
buked by several members of the
committee, Lawler withheld his re-
mark and apologized to the commit
tee.
Lawler was called to explain the
circumstances under which he had
prepared for the president the mem
orandum containing his opinion on
the charges by Special Agent CLAWS
against Secretary Ballinger. Freder-
lex M. Kerby, stenographer-secretary
in Ballinger's Office, discharged Mon
day because he had made public con.
fidential information of the depart
