ner ct al For Damages Being
Heard BY Judge Frear.

The jury venire for the January
term of the county court was called

case of r. ]. Sanders VS.. Heber Skin

HUMPHREY WANTS
AN INVESTIGATION
Charges, If True, Might Result in I'M
peachment of Governor And
other Officials.
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Guthrie. Okla, Jan. S1.-A resolu-
ton was introduced in the house, to-
day, by Humphreys, that demands in
vestigation of the failed Columbia
Bank & Trust company, and calls up
on Attorney General West to bring be-
fore the legislature the matters which
he had previously stated were being
considered by the grand jury at Okla
homa City, where that body was dis
charged by order of Governor Haskell.
The resolution is based upon a let
ter written by West, criticising the
acts of certain state officials. The
resolution says, "such charges, If true,
might subject the governor of this
state to impeachment and the officers,
to whom reference is made, to inn
peachment or removal"

FLOOD SITUATION IS
RAPIDLY AMELIORAT|NG
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Paris, Jan. 31.-The flood situation
at critical points was muetiorated to
a considerable extent today. notably
in the neighborhood of the ST Lazare
station. Preparation has been effect.
ed for cleansing and disinfecting the
city. The official announcement of the
fall of the river up to noon was two
feet. The sidewalks in front of the
st. Lozare station fell into the sub
way today. None were hurt. The
small loss of life during the period Of
the flood is surprising.
Exciting row boat chases, after
criminals, on the outskirts of the city,
occurred during the night. In several
instances the Apaches were fired upon
by the pursuers and three were shot
dead. Two others were hanged from
lamp posts, as examples Of the fate in
store for those detected in the act Of
pillage and violence.

will be well understood by the pub

"I shall for the benefit of the whole
public, print true copies of these
charges and every word of testimony
taken on the subject. When the peo-
pie have read the charges and read
the testimony, I have no fear but that
the economy and industry of my office
WI be approved by all people who
want honest government, regardless of
their politics. Above all things, the
motive of this 'Non-Partisan Knock

SpORTSMEN ENJOY
FAREWELL QUAIL HUNT

From today until November 10, next,
the sheltering wing of the law will
protect the Oklahoma quail. For
seventy-five days the sportsmen in the
new state have enjoyed the greatest
season of quail shooting in many years
and the true sportsman welcomes the
check of the law upon the killing of
these birds.
Today many Vinita quail hunters
are afield taking a few farewell shots
at the elusive bird that makes the
hunting season worth while in Okla
homa. The quail are yet bountiful in
this part of the state, and the protec-
ton afforded them by the law assures
an increase for next season.

Bennett Clark Hyde, highly connected
professionally and socially, filed suit,
at Independence, Mo-. against John H.
Paxton, executor of the Swope estate,
to recover one hundred thousand dol
lars for alleged slander. The petit
tion alleges that Paxton falsely wick
edly and maliciously and intending to

wholly ruin DR.. Hyde, made the state
ment that Hyde was guilty OF poison
ing Col. Thomas Swope and Chrisman
Swope. Hyde is related by marriage
to the Swopes, having married the

CHARGES MISUSE
OF PUBLIC FUNDS
Declares He is Glad of Chance to
Show Up How His Depart
ment Spent Money.

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 91.-Charges al
leging mismanagement and improper
disbursement of the public funds were
filed with the special investigating
committee of the house of represen-
tatives Saturday by Representative
Lester A. Maris of Ponca City and
Representative ]. M. Humphreys of
Toka, republican member of the legis-
lature.
They were directed at certain ex-
penditures made by Governor c. N.
Haskell in the special employment of
persons which, the charges allege, was
without authority of law; against the
State Banking Board for payment of
salary to Lieut.. Gov. George Bellamy
as president of the board while he
was at the same time drawing sal
airy out of the general revenues as
lieutenant governor, which is alleged
to be in violation of the constitution,
and against the practice of paying sal
aries and expenses in the school land
department without a legislative ap-
preparation. The employment of w.
B. Anthony of NARROW as private Sec
retary to the governor, while he is
holding commission as a member of
the legislature, is complained of in the
charges.
Supporting the accusations against
the executive branch of the state gov
ernment appears the affidavit of Rep
resentative Maris, while that of Rep
resentative Humphreys applies to the
school land department. The docu-
M nts were prepared by Judge John
H. Burford, former chief justice of
the supreme court and attorneys for
the republican state committee, and
the material was CLEANED from official
reports in the Office of State Examiner
and Inspector Taylor
Senator Cloonan of Bunch and the
two Representatives making affidavits
were a committee from the legislature
minority to make the investigation
with a view to perfecting charges.
When Inspector Taylor made his re-
ports last summer, the information
substantially as contained in the Off
cial documents was widely circulated,
save as to the employment of w. T.
Hutchings of Muskogee and Jean P.
Day of Poteau for special legal work
and to the employment of Mr.. An
thony.
When informed as to the nature of
the charges, Gov. Haskell issued the
following statement:
"As to charges which have been
filed by the 'Non-Partisan Knock
ers' club against the expenditures
made by my office in the last twenty
six months, which, / am told, aggre-
gate $3.50, which they say has been
paid for unnecessary or unauthorized
clerks and detectives and attorneys,
| have not seen them, but | am very
glad indeed, they have been filed. 1t
will enable me to show by records and
sworn testimony that every dollar
spent by this Office has been economi-
cally and judiciously spent for the
welfare of the state of Oklahoma and
enables me to smoke this bunch of
knockers out in the open, where the
people of the state can learn the
