There has been an investigation
pending now throughout almost this
entire session, and which has by rea-
son of distracting the attention of the
entire body, and requiring the person
al attention of many of your mem
bers, has in itself been responsible
| for at least one-third of the cost of
the entire session of your honorable
body.
The hearings were had, the evidence
introduced, the arguments made, and
left to themselves the honorable COM
mittee would long since have rendered
its report, but to the discredit of some
of those who claim to represent one
of the great political parties of the
nation, they have presumed to make
the conscience, the honesty, the in
tegrity of some of the members of
that committee a matter of caucus par
tisanship, where the conscience of
those members could be banded about
and voted upon as a partisan matter
by men who had heard no evidence.

Has the time come in Oklahoma
when the committee, under oath as
jury, will stand up and say: 1T is
not question of truth in the evidence:
it is solely question of the politics
of the party under investigation?
Can it be conceded for one moment
that this caucus can look the people
of Oklahoma in the face and say:
''As party caucus we demanded of
~srtain members of this committee
shat their oaths should be violated,
their conscience laid aside, and petty
politics made out of the sacred right
of a citizen and public official?'

Governor Takes Fall Out
OF the Partisan Members

Guthrie, Okla, Mar 1S.-In his
twenty-fourth message to the legis-
lature, now in special session, Cover
nor Haskell fairly blisters that element
OF partisan republicans, which through
caucus pressure is endeavoring to
cast a stigma upon the fair name of
Oklahoma, and recommends the pas
sage of law making such an offense
punishable by fine and Imprisonment.
The message in full is as follows:
To the Honorable Legislature, State
of Oklahoma, in Extraordinary
sSession:
You have pending before you for
your consideration a bill to prevent
the spreading and contracting of
loathsome diseases, by vaccination or
Otherwise, and recommend that you
attach to said bill as further means
OF promoting health, purity of life,
and the promotion of the welfare of
the state, section of the following
general import:
When any person is serving upon
jury in court or upon an investigat-
ing committee in any legislature or
other public body of the state, where
questions of fact or law are being
considered, and a truthful report ac-
cording to the law, the facts and con-
science of the jurymen or members
of such committee is required, that
pending such hearing, preparation of
the report or finding, and the consider
alton thereof, and until the final dis
charge of such jury or committee, it
shall be an offense against the the
peace and dignity of the state of Ok
lahoma for any person, or aggrega-
tion of persons, whether as a party
caucus or committee organization,
or as individuals, by threats, resolu-
tions, suggestions or intimations of
any kind, to influence such jurymen |
or committee in any wav relating to.
the findings he may make upon such,
questions of fact or law, and that the
punishment by fine and Imprisonment |
for such offense shall be the same
as in other cases of promoting Grim
inal libel upon citizen.
I have deferred sending this mes
sage to your honorable body until
thus near the close of the session, as
I desired not to have it interfere with
the pending investigation, but can
not feel that would do my duty in
building for the future to sustain the
good name of our state. unless l urge \
upon you the Importance of enacting
SUCH criminal statute.
1t cannot be said that seek any
personal protection in this matter,
because my term will have expired
without future legislative session, and
can assert that it is solely
for the welfare of the state that K
urge this legislation.
The credit and conduct Of public s
officers is the standard by which the
reputation of our state is measured
abroad, and therefore the reckless (
of public cheers is a Ic
stab in the back-of '
he state or community over which u
hey preside, and the time has come 9
n Oklahoma when this infamous i
iractice of reckless villifying OF pub a
ic officers should cease. and when

CITY MUST PAY FOR A
 PART OF DREDGING IN
 THE PEQUONNOCk RIVER

Mayor Buckingham this morning re- ceived a communication from Lieuten- ant Colonel Harry Taylor advising him that the dredging operations are about to commence in the -Pequon- mock river and that the permit grant ed by the War Department to the city to build the Congress Street bridge provides that the city shall pay for the dredging in the channel beneath the draw, one hundred feet in either direction from the center e
 Col. Taylor suggests to the Mayor that he arrange to have the dredging done at Congress street in connection with the government work and that the dredging beneath other bridges be so arranged with the contractors so as not to interfere with cross stream traffic.
 The Mayor will present the matter to the Common Council this evening.

HIS INVERTEBRATES PHOTOGRAPH ONLY
 CLUE TO SUICIDE
Despondent Man Shot Him
 self Through Head In 2 View of Park St. Church
 goers.

Pinned to the corner of a neatly folded handkerchief, the photograph of an attractive young woman is a1- most the only clue to the identity of the man who ended his life in a sen sationa1 manner in Washington Park last night as the Park Street Congre- gational church worshippers were leav- ing the edifice.
 The mans body lay in the morgue today with only half a dozen to view it. The police have no information that will aid in effecting his identifica- ton.
 Two men sat at one end of bench while at the other sat the man who was about to take his life. They did not suspect his plan and not until the pistol shot resounded did they realize how near they were to tragedy. He fell from the bench and died in a mo- rnent in pile of leaves blown together beside the bench. He had shot him self through the heart with -32 cali bre pistol.
 Dr. E. F. Blank came out from his office and found the man dead, and the remains were then taken to the morgue of Rourke g. Rourke. T9e body was that of a man about 70, five feet six inches tall, with long. straight, dark. brown hair, .scraggly moustache, and dark eyes.
 Search of his garments failed to dis close a single clue except the woman's photograph reproduced upon a button which had been pinned to the hand kerchief. There was solitary nickel, and tiny scrap of a foreign news paper upon which was written in pen ciI the following: "4th, 143. NJ T. P. The remains will be kept at the morgue a day or two awaiting fdenti- fication. The clothes were dark blue, the underclothing cheap but substan- tial, and the hat green fedora.
 The pistol was marked "U; 5. Re- volver'' and it's number was 10S53. :

School E:numerators
 Themselves Seem to Need Some Schooling

School Agent David Ginand is hav- ing no end of trouble with the taking of the school census because of the fact that the enurnerators seem to be unable to spell. MT. Ginand said this morning that the men making the ean- vass seem to write down the name ac- cording to the phonetic spelling. The result is that the enumerator turns in a big batch of names which do not appear in the directory and which are in many eases unheard of
 A search is made of the directory and where corrections can be made with this aid, it is done but there are hundreds of instances where the emu merator is obliged to return to the houses and make second canvass
 The result is. that the canvass is not progressing very satisfactorily, in fact it has not been satisfactory for several years back because of the inability of the men assigned to the work to make accurate returns. MT. Ginand said this morning that he wishes that fam lilies called upon by the enumerators would do all that is possible to assist them in properly spelling the names of the children listed

 St. Louis Oct. 24-A telegram from Thompsonvflle. Mich, received this morning by Albert Bond Lambert, President of the Aero Club of St. Alan R. Haw1ey and August Post missing with the balloon America II.
 The telegram says: America IT passed over here Tuesday course due north. A farmer enabled us to re- port these facts. Talked with people : eight miles north of our town who saw lettering on balloon. (Signed) E.
 Toronto, Oct. 24HUp to noon, today none of the provincial governments $ departments had received any definite information about the missing racing balloon America II from St. Louis.
 Superintendent Rogers, of the On- ,tario provincial police said today. @It. is likely the America II came down between Lake Huron and the c. P. R. Or between the c. P. R. and the new Grand Trunk Pacific line, far to the north. In either case there is a dense primitive wilderness and the only chance the balloonists would have of receiving Succor would be from Canadians.
 New York, Oct. 24ARelief parties are being organized to search in the Canadian wilds for Alan R. Hawley brother of Alan R., and an intimate friend, are. on their way tof Ottawa, following a, despatch from St.. Louis, last night, saying that it was runored there that the America IT was seen in the vicinity of Kiskisink, in the St. Johns Lake district. These men will conduct an expedition into the surrounding wild erness in the hope of flndin- the missing aeronauts.
 There is only one other explanation of the lack of word from the America 1T and that is that the balloon may have dropped into Lake Huron, in which event the aeronauts were prob ably drowned

To Fix Date for Recount
 Of Stamford Town Vote

Judge William H. Williams in the Superior Court will be called upon to fix date for the recount of the bal lots in the recent Stamford elections. The request is made by Charles "A. Ouintard, Republican candidate for councilman who was defeated by Daniel F. Toomey, the Democrats candidate. Qintard in his petition says that of the 1,169 ballots cast, A were rejected for reasons but known to the moderator. On 30 of these ballots, the intention of the voter was for Quintard. The returns gave Toomey 533 and Quintard 532. The latter states that if the ballots were allowed to be counted, he would have won out. The petition was filed in the Superior Court today.
