the outcome of the June election when

ton are to be voted upon we're asked

YOUN6 FILES ANSWER
70 WRIT OF MANOAMUS

Guthrie, Okla, May 1S.-Bank Com
missioner A. NJ. Young. through his
attorneys, Ledbetter, Stuart & Bell, of
Oklahoma City, has filed his answer
to the alternative writ of mandamus
issued in the supreme court directing
Young to show cause why he should
not be mandamused to permit Charles
A. Taylor, state examiner and inspec-
tor, to examine the books and records
of the defunct Columbia Bank and
Trust company OF Oklahoma City.
Young, in his answer. not only ques-
tions the authority of the state exami-
ner to examine his office but declares
that he does not possess the qualifica-
tions to examine the affairs of bank.
The answer states that the examiner
and his deputies are paid out Of state
funds and that the receipts of the
bank commissioners Office are from
private revenues derived from the
banks and that the bank commissioner
does not handle public funds and Is
not therefore subject to examination
of the state examiner and inspector,
The answer further states that the
Columbia Bank and Trust company is
being liquidated under the supervision
Of the district courts of Creek and
Oklahoma counties, and that they have
directed that no final statement be
made public until the affairs of the de-
funct institution are liquidated for the
reason that to disclose the names q
persons indebted to the bank at this
time would throw number Of good
men into bankruptcT and make a
large amount of the assets of the bank
worthless. An examination by the
state examiner and inspector would
bring about such publicity, the answer
declares.

DISMISS SUPERINTENDENT
Masterson is Retained in Charge of City Schools
for the Coming Year---President Refused TO
Put Question and Vote Was Taken Any

In spite of the fact that President l..
B. Bell, of the school board refused to
put the question, when motion was
made and seconded to disregard the
petition. signed by four citizens OF

G. Masterson as superintendent of the
city schools, the board took a vote
upon the motion and 1t was decided by
a vote of to to retain Mr.. Master
son at a salary of $500 per year.
The action Of the beard in retaining
Superintendent Masterson is a source
of much qualification to the school pat
rons. From a school unrecognized
among the other institutions of the
state 10 credited school, the equal
of any is the record of the accom-
|plishment of the vinita schools under
Mr.. Masterson's two years service
here. He is now in position to do even
more for the school and to have re-
moved him would have been to ser
iously hinder the progress of the
towns greatest asset-the public
schools.
Prof. James P Fitch was elected
principal of the high school. For the
last year he has been assistant in the
high school and director of athletics
and has pleased the board so well that
he was chosen to fill the vacancy
created by the departure of Prof
Downing who becomes superintend
ent of schools at Claremore. The posi-
ton of assistant to Prof. Fitch has
not yet been filled, as it is desired
that this place be given to a man ant

followers of Heinman and within a
few minutes was to have been stabbed
and bled to death. Heinman's chief
prophet was ready TO perform the
deed.

the much-heralded approach Of Hal

ger attached to its appearance had
effected the fanatics and frequent
meetings were being held. All their
secrets are closely guarded and It
was not until the girl was tied to the
stake that the authorities became
aware of the intended sacrifice.
A posse was Immediately formed

RADICAL REFORMS FOR
WESTERN DIVORCE LAWS

Spokane, Wash. May 1s.-Radical
reforms in the divorce laws of the
western states are advocated by Judge
J. d. Hinkle Of the Spokane county
superior court He does not believe
that a national law would solve the
problem; though, he says, uniform
statutes by the various states might
result in much good. Here are some
Of the restrictions he recommends as
supplemental to existing laws:
Where the cause for divorce origin
ates in another state, the plaintiff
should establish three years residence
in the state in which the divorce is
to be granted. Corroborative evidence
should also be required in all cases.
Persons seeking legal separation
should live apart at least two years
before suit for divorce can be in.
stituted
The trial judge should have the
power to bring offending persons into
court by warrant and infiict punish
ment as part Of the divorce proceed
ings.
Publication Of the filing of the peti
ton for divorce should be required in
the community where the couple lives
'The most important change need
ed at present is in carrying out our
laws" Judge Hinkle said I'VE are
often imposed upon by colonists from
eastern. central and southern states
and by residents of the Dominion Of
Canada, who come to the west chiefly
for the purpose of divorce, and where
the suit is not contested we have nc
way Of ascertaining whether the allie
cations are borne out by acts.
I'VE see less liberality toward per
sons seeking divorce in the eastern
states; but here in the west, where
persons become acquainted quicker
and friendships are not SO prolonged
and close before marriage, such re
strictions would almost stop the mar
rying habit

PLACE IN WINDSOR
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Windsor, May 20-Today the castle
gates at Windsor opened to receive
the casket of the seventh Edward with
in its massive walls. The gray towers
and battlements over which the'Union
Jack" is flying at half mast never ap-
peared more impressive. From the
railway station to the chapel the gun
carriage was drawn by squad Of blue
Jackets. Immediately behind the cas-
ket walked King George, wearing the
uniform of a general and sash of the
garter, with the German Emperor at
| his right and the late kings brother,
Duke Cannaught at the left. The cas-
ket was placed on the catafalque be-
| fore the altar, which was fairly buried
in floral pieces. AT the minute the
guns doomed and the bells tolled the
casket was borne on the shoulders OF
the grenadiers and placed on the
catafalque. King George, as chief
mourner, stood at the head of the cas-
ket. The other members of the royalty
were grouped about. There were
nine kings in attendance.

BALL|NGER CASE
NEARLY COMPLETED
Defense Rests Case And Attorney
Rrandes Begins Examination Of
Witnesses in Rebuttal.
BY Associated Press.


Washington. d. c.. May 2O.-The
defense in the Ballinger-Pinchot in
vestigation rested it's case this morn
ing without calling further witnesses.
Attorney Brandies at once began the
examination of the witnesses in re-
buttal. The taking Of testimony end
ed today and the committee adjourn
ed to meet again next Friday to hear
the oral arguments.
The Ballinger-P -Pinchot investigation
come to an end today-so far at least
as the taking of evidence is concern
ed. The defense" practically had
rested when yesterdays hearing ended,
and Attorney Brandeis, for the prose
cution." last night said his side would
consume but little time in the examin-
alton of witnesses in rebuttal,
1t is probable the departure of Sen
ator Root, one the leading republican
members eff the committee, today for
The Hague arbitration tribunal, had
good deal TO do with the decision
to bring the hearings to a close.
Mr.. Brandeis concluded his cross
examination for Oscar Lawler, assist

department and author of the now
famous tentative draft for the presi-
dent of letter discussing and dis
missing both Special Agent I, R.
CLAWS and his charges against Seere-
tary Ballinger Commissioner Fred
D. bennett of the general land office
also finished his testimony. E. T.
Perkins of the Chicago Office of the
reclamation service was the witness
Of the day.
What was regarded by the prose
cution" as an important admission was
obtained from Lawler. Brandeis was
endeavoring to show that Lawler re-
tanned an old grudge against CLAWS
which untitled him for the prepara-
ton of judicial finding to assist the
president in passing upon the CLAWS

BOARD INCREASES
RAILROAD TAXES
Raise Of Ten per Cent in Valuation of
Railroads Brings Total Up to
$2o,oOoooo in state.

Guthrie, Okla, May 2O.-The state
board Of equalization has assessed all
railroad property in the state, max
ing a 10 per cent increase in the as
sessed valuation of all main track
property over the assessment of last
year and assessing sidetracks, build.
ings and station property at the same
figures as last year. This makes an
increase in the assessment of main
tracks of $17,106,S46 over last year
and brings the total assessed valuation
of railroad property in the state up to
a little over $2O,O0O,O0O, The valua-
ton of tracks, station property and
other buildings is s11,9S1, ,469, the
same as last year.
Owing to the fact that the consti
tutionality OF the new law, passed at
the special session, which taxes all
main tracks of railroads upon rev
enue basis, combining the ad valorem
and gross receipts taxes under one
head, will be called into question in
the courts by the railroads, the state
board of equalization has decided
to tax main track property upon an
ad valorem basis under the old law
This was done to make sure of col
lecting taxes upon this property in
case the railroads contention that the
new law is unconstitutional should
prove incorrect. The taxes under the
new law are collected automatically
without the necessity of an assessment
so that the action of the board to
day does not prejudice the collection
under the new lew.

WILL ARGUE HYDE
MOTION ON JUNE A
Motion Filed Thursday For a New
TrIaI--wiI Review the More
1000 Objections.

Kansas City, Mo- May 20.-Argu-
ment on the motion for new trial
in the case of Doctor B. Clark Hyde
has been set for Saturday, June 4. The
motion was filed yesterday afternoon
lby counsel for the convicted physician
Improper conduct on the part OF
Judge Ralph s. Latshaw and attor-
neys prosecuting Doctor Hyde Is
among the allegations of error that
were agreed upon by attorneys repre-
senting Doctor Hyde.
The allegation of error most largely
depended upon by the attorneys for
the defense will be that the court all
lowed evidence outside the direct
charge that Doctor Hyde killed
Thomas H. Swope, in that the prose
cution was allowed to inject testimony
regarding the Illness and deaths OF
other members Of the Swope family
and other matters Of that kind. Every
bit of testimony is given in the motion
in detail.
Among the evidence objected to is
that Doctor Hyde used typhoid germs
the trip from New York with Lucy
Lee Swope, the finding OF the cyanide
capsules by Thomas swope and John
G. Paxton, the death of Moss Hun
ton and the conversation between
Pearl Kellar and Doctor Hyde concern
ing the latter's appointment as ad
ministrator following the death Of
Hunton.
Another allegation of error Is that
James A. Reed, special prosecutor
was allowed to make the opening
statement for the state and that the
court allowed him to detail the mat
ters termed by the defeAse's attor
neys as extraneous to the charge oi
killing Thomas H. Swope.
The court Is alleged to have beer
in error in refusing to command tht
production of the correspondence be
| tween Mr.. Paxton, Prosecuting Attor
ney Virgil Conkling; and Doctor Wal
ter s. Haines, Doctor Ludwig HektoeI
and Doctor Victor c. Vaughan, the
three expert witnesses for the state
1t also is charged that the court
showed prejudice against the defend
ant during the trial, and that he mani
tested this in the presence OF the
jury by his demeanor and attitudes
that this prejudiced the cause of tht
defendant in the eyes of the jury;
that the court added to this by forcing
Doctor Hyde to 60 to jail after sur
rendering his bond, and by impatience
1t is alleged that the court also re
fused to admit evidence that was com
petent and admitted evidence that was
mot competent.
| Further errors by the court are
charged in that he cited laws orally
lin the presence of the jury that were
calculated to injure the cause Of Doe
tor Hyde, and that he commented i'm
properly on the evidence in the pres
ence OF the jury and also that hs
criticised the conduct Of the counse
for the defense in the hearing Of the
