WILL ATTEMPT TO

Action is to Be Brought Against okla.
homa Officials TO Get School
Land Money.

Guthrie. Okla, Feb 14--Action IL
to be commenced II is understood,
soon. to have the state reimbursed for
the big sum of school land money us.
ed by the state school land commits.
sioners The total so expended
amounts to about s285,OOO. The on-
eial report Of Charles A. Taylor, state
examiner and Inspector shows that
up to July last, the commissioners
had used 100000 Illegally; he desig-
mated it shortage.
The report of the school land de-
partment shows that up to January 1
Of the present year the sum of S22S,-
600 had been used, including the Tay-
lor figures, or an average of $4,000
per month since Taylor filed his re-
port. Taking this average for Jan
uary and ten days in February, 1t
would bring the total to about $685.
600.
It is the plain duty of the attorney
general of the state to bring such ac-
ito. reimburse the state. A demand
was de upon him, several months
ago, by State Examiner Taylor to
bring suit to recover all illegal and
irregular expenditures, but Mr.. West at
that time declined Now it is up to
him.
The suit when commenced will be
against the school land commission
ers, including Governor Haskell, Sec
retary Of State Cross. State Auditor
Trapp, Rev. Cameron, superintendent
Of schools, and Chairman Conners of
the state board of agriculture; the
bondsmen OF these state officials will
be made co-defendants.
The supreme court decision Tues
day by Associate Justice Robert L
Williams sustains in every particular
the charges made by the republicans,
since statehood, that the school land
funds were being extrayagantly and
Illegally expended in big salaries to
court favorites. II sustains the
charges filed with the legislative com.
mittee by Representative James NJ.
Humphrey of Atoka. The Williams
decision will be made the basis for the
action to have the state reimbursed.

WANT LAW REGULATING
BANK OVERDRAFTS

Oklahoma city, okla, Feb 12.-
Early next week members Of the Ok
lahoma city Retailers Association will
make an effort to have the state legis-
lature consider a law regulating over
drafts on bank accounts For some
time the proposed law has been dis
cussed by the business men Of the
city, and they have given their unan-
imous support to 1t.
The proposed law provides that IL
shall be a misdemeanor for any one
TO draw a check, draft or order on
any bank or financial establishment
for funds, when sufficient funds TO
cover the amount of the check or draft
are not on deposit.
A fine of not less than $25 nor more
than 500, or a sentence In the county
Jail OF not less than 10 nor more than
100 days or both AS a protection to
those who make overdrafts uninten-
tionally. a provision is made whereby
when the deficit is made good he will
not be prosecuted.
The object OF the law is 20 reach the
man who after depositing 500, at
tempts to draw out $500.
Efforts will also be made TO have
the laws governing exemption from
seizure in debt cases changed
The retailers are also using their
influence to prevent the passage of
the parcels post law in Washington.

OLD AIDS TO THE HAT TRADE
England to Protect Various
Makers Of t1eadgear.

Hats have in England been subject
to very severe protective enaCtments
The blocked beaver hat, for instance,
imported by Sir Walter Raleigh from
the low countries, Won its way so
rapidly that in 1871 Queen Elizabeth
PASSED an act to protect the making
of "thrummed" caps made from wool
'or the advantage of the landed pro
Grietors, whose sheep furnished the
material The statute provided that
every person, except ladies' and Jews
why were Jews excused?) shall on
Sundays and holidays wear on his
head cap of velvet wool made in
England. Penalty IS 6p. per day"
About century later the law, for
which there is nothing 100 high or
too low, having taxed mems shoes.
turned its attention once more to
their hats, and soon put a check on
all improvements in the trade by re.
curing every vender of hats to take
out license under a heavy penalty
subsequently a stamp duty was i'm.
posed on all hats, which were Off
cially marked inside where the
makers name now appears. The
penalty for selling hat without
stamp was G10 and the penoity for
'orging a hat stamp was-death!
whence. no doubt, the modern custom
OF the man who goes TO church, sits
down. looks into his hat-to read his
makers name!

three weeks, Colonel Roosevelt is
home again, weary from his western
trip, but we'll satisfied with the result
He enjoyed every minute of it, he
said.
The colonel reached New York at
10 o'clock Sunday morning from Pitts
burg. His first orders were that nc
one should be permitted TO invade the
privacy .of Sycamore Hill, and for the
day he relapsed into the comforts and
seclusion of his family life.
Before he started on his trip, Colo
mel Roosevelt had said little on public
matters, but to the people of the mid
die west he declared himself on al
most all the questions now before the
nation. His utterances were accepted
as his political creed. and were re.
ceived with satisfaction by many in
surgents although Colonel Roosevelt
himself in speech at Kansas City
classed himself as progressive.
