WEST WILL STAY OUT
OF COUNTY SEAT FIGHT

Guthrie. OKLA, Sept. 19.-Attorney
General Charles West has decided
not to interfere in the affairs Of Swan
son county, and in a letter to John
Fain, county attorney of Comanche
county, held that suit should properly
be brought by the county attorney OF
one of the counties affected. He states
that action might be brought by the
county attorney of either Comanche,
Kiowa of Tillman county.
The attorney general previously had
promised to bring an action in the sti
preme court, but states that since he
made that promise that the county at
torney has the right to bring suit in
matters affecting more than his own
county. The district court of Greer
county had before that time held to
the contrary effect and Attorney Gen
eral West says that he was acting un.
der that holding when ne made the
promise.
"The theory upon which you want
the action brought is that Swanson
county does not exist" says the at
torney general. Therefore the dis
trict courts of comanche, Kiowa and
Tillman counties have jurisdiction
over the parts taken from those coun
ties.7
Inasmueb as the case does not at
feet the entire state and the county
attorney can bring the suit, he thinks
that it is better for him to do so.

Delegates to Kansas City Congress End Their
Labors and Start for Home Sunday---New
Contract is Practically Complete Victory
for the Miners-.State Labor Commits
sioner of Kansas Selected By
Both Sides to Act as Arbi-
ter of all Disputes.

approval by the Missouri committee
yesterday afternoon ended that pro-
cess. Although the strike has been a
long one and the miners have suffered
considerably, no show of violence or
any outbreaks were committed by the
miners, The miners who could not
get work were supplied with funds
every two weeks from the money furn.
ished by the national organization.
The aid money, as it was called, was
small, amounting to about $5 week.
The tcountenances of the delegates
were bright last night as they hurried
around the lobby of the Orient hotel.
For the llrst time In more than Ave
months they smiled from satisfaction.
They crowded to the desk to pay their
hotel bills and then hastened to the
depot. They believed that, perhaps,
a train going home might slip from
the depot without the information bu-
reau knowing it. They took no
chances. At 10 o'clock last night only
two or three men remained in the
Motel lobby where two hours before
three hundred had crowded.
Those whose trains did not leave
early spent the evening using the
long distance telephone to spread the
news to&the miners at home.
I'VE got what we wanted" they
said, and now we are willing to 60 to
work. 1t is great victory for or
ganized labor"
The expenses of the three hundred
delegates to the convention were paid
by the national organization. The
men on the conference committees,
who have been trying to draw up a
contract all summer, were paid by the
Organization. The district presidents
and secretaries will remain here until
tonight to sign the contract and to ar.
range for the printing of it.

HER FATHER AND UNCLE

Newkirk. Okla, Sept. 10. - After
being sweated by County Attorney
Burns and Sheriff RAIDER of Kay coun-
ty, Ebby Shepard, the 16-year-old
daughter of ]. w. Shepard, who, with
his brother, Taylor Shepard, was mur-
dered at the home near here Friday
morning, confessed Saturday night,
the officers say, that she herself beat
her father and uncle with an axe, so
that both died of the injuries. She
also went to the woodshed of the home
and produced the bloody axe.
She gave as her reason that her
father and uncle had whipped her 1t
now is the general supposition that
both men probably misused her. The
girl and the men resided alone. The
double funeral Of the Shepards was
held at Newkirk Sunday.
The girl has always been feeble
minded and now is said to be insane.
The Cassidy boy is to be held until
after the inquest, which will be re-

If you fail to agree to this joint dis
cussion, l shall charge and show to
the voters of the Third congressional
district that you are either afraid to
come before them and discuss your
record, or that you know that you
have not worked for their interest,
but have worked earnestly and per-
sistently at the dictation of the Can
non machine, which the system and
you, by your vote at the dictation OF
the system have imposed upon them
laws that are burdensome, annoying
and outrageous to the business interest

DEATH Turks IN BILLS
LADEN WITH GERMS

NEW YORK. May 23.-Ofcers of the
board of health here have again called
attention to the perils that Turk in germ
laden paper money. Soiled bills, they say,
are found toscontain an average of 142, CO0
bacteria each and although some of these
germs have lost their virulence, the
money must remain an object of sus-
picion and an actual menace to the health
of the community.
Urging rapid withdrawal from circula-
ton of soied bills, the health officers
quote from a New York medical publica-
tion: --.. ,.-+ -- ' ~
1T has been ascertained that money
can be infected by handling, it has also
been shown that the germ of diphthera
and tuberculosis may live on infected
bills for several days. There is little
doubt that disease spreads in ways that
we know, not, even in these times of adj
vanced research. If paper money does
spread disease, though but to an ex-
tremely small extent, this is reason tsuf-
ficient to insist upon quick renewal of
dirty bills"
