GOV. HASKELL'S
HEARING ENDED
Detective Lawler Is Last Witness in
nvestiqation-Other State
Officials Are to be
Probed
Associated Pressl

GUTHRIE, Okla, Feb. 25.-With the
testimony of G. A. Lawler a detective,
today the investigation of the legisla-
tive committee examining the charge
against Governor Hasken that he mis-
applied certain state funds came to an
end Several of the charges against
other state officials are to be investi-
gated.
Lawler came to Guthrie voluntarily.
For two weeks private detectives had
sought to bring him before the COM
mittee.
The statement of Lawler that his
work was confined solely to Standard
Oil investigation caused Attorney Clark
for the investigation to launch into a
long examination OF the witness re-
garding vouchers showing that he had
been at work from funds which ac-
cusers of Governor Haskell claim
were not appropriated for such pur-
pose.
Lawler was paid $2O6S from $4,000
fund appropriated to be expended by
the governor to employ accountants to
audit the territorial accounts" and $3.50
from a $4,000 fund which the legislature
designated should be spent by the gov
ernor for an investigating committee
and the travelling expenses of delegates
to various national conferences and
emergency cases."

COAST PLAYERS WIN
CHAMPIONSHIP
r. L. Gardner and G. F. Touchard VIC
torious After Five GrueIling
Sets with Eastern
Rivals

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The Pacific
coast pair, r. L. Gardner and g. f.
Touchard, today won the indoor ma
tional championship in the tennis
doubles on the courts of the Seventh
regiment armory. They defeated W.
B. Cragin, jr., and Miles s. Charlock
of the Elizabethtown Country club,
after five gruelling sets, 6-1, As, 10,
6-1, Cd. In every respect the match
was one of the most notable ever
played for the title. Gardner was dis
appointing. His service was weak and
his volleying wide of the court. Only.
the brilliancy of Touehards play saved
the match. His overhead smashing was
excellent and his cross -volleying earned
many points at critical moments.
Steadiness was the main feature of the
losers game. They lobbed with great
effect, and it was due to this sort of
playing that the match was closely
scored. Tomorrow r. A. Holden and
Touchard will meet in the singles
championship final.

ASK EQUAL PRIVILEGES
FOR AMATEUR PLAYERS

The next regular meeting of the
Amateur Athletic union is expected to
furnish some hot arguments when the
names of Rice and Swartz are pre-
sented for amateur cards. Manager
valentine of the Glendale team wants
the two players for his team and is
making hard fight for their reinstate-
ment. Both players were accused of
playing with professionals, contrary to
the rules of the union. While they ad-
nlith this they claim that they should
be granted the same consideration that
has been shown to other players who
have committed the same offense time
and again. They say that certain
members OF the Polytechnic high school
team. which won the championship last
year, played on the Hughes team and
nothing was ever said about the mat
ter. 1t is expected that the union will
act as handsomely toward Swartz and
Rice as they did to these men. If they
do not, Manager Valentine threatens
to raise a row that will produce re-
suits.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Just as means
of keeping her husband humble, Mrs.
Anna Ulrich has decided that he must
do the family washing and help every

Ulrich, was paroled to his wife after
being arraigned on a charge of drunk
enness.

around, and I'm going to keep him out
of trouble" said Mrs. Ulrich' In ad-
dition to doing the washing and doing
the dishes, / am going to see that he
does not stay out at night.
'I am going to let him have three
glasses of beer a day. Beer doesn' |
hurt anybody that knows when to
quit"
'I'll give you chance said the
court. "You are paroled to this wom-
an. She will collect your wages and
give you a daily allowance. She's got

WHOLESALE MURDER
PLOT SUSPECTED
FORT WORDEN OFFICIALS IN
SEARCH OF GANG
Missing Soldiers Posted as Desertera
May Have Been Killed and
Bodies Disposed of,
Is Theory

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Feb 25.
The murder of Private Robert b.
DUNN last week, and the finding of
the body of an unidentified man near
Fort Worden yesterday, coupled with
the disappearance of a number of sol
diers during the last year, has led Of
ficers at the post to believe that a
gang of murderers has established
rendezvous near the fort, and detach-
mentS of artillerymen were sent out
today in an attempt to trap the OUT
laws. Until a late hour tonight the
deepest recesses of the woods were
secured, but no clew was found lead
ing to the murderers' lair.
The first intimation that wholesale
murders have been committed at the
fort was the finding of the body Of
DUNN last week. 1t was discovered
at the base of precipitous bluff and
gave every indication that the man
had met death by violence. He had
been robbed of everything of value. A
soldier believed to be connected with
the death of DUNN was arrested a
few days later and is being held pend
ing investigation.
Immediately after the finding of
Dumms' body, officers at the post or
dered search n .4e of the surrounding
country, fearing that other soldiers
who had mysteriously disappeared, and
who were posted as deserters at the
time, had been victims of foul play.
In nearly every instance of suspected
desertion, the man was nearing the
end of his term of enlistment and was
well supplied with money. The finding
of the body yesterday near the place
where Dumm's body was found tends
to confirm the theory that several
murders have been committed.
The body found yesterday has not
been identified. 1t is in such state of
decomposition that the only possible
means of identification is through the
clothing found on the body.
In every home where there are no
children there are usually lot of dogs.
