BOND QUESTION
UP IN COURT
JUDGE RUSSELL WILL RENDER
His OPINION ON THE BOND
QUESTION FRIDAY.

In the district court this morning,
Judge Russell continued the hearing
ON the city bond matter until next
Friday, at which time he will rem
der his opinion.
This matter involves the fund
ing of about $4,000 of Indebtedness
that is outstanding against the city,
great portion OF this Indebtedness
is due different citizens of the city,
and as shown by former testimony
the city has received full benefit
for the same.
The constitution of oklahoma pro
vides that a city cannot incur for
any year an Indebtedness to eA-
ceed the revenues and income o.
that year, 1t is probably true, that
the city since statehood during the
fiscal years 19O7-S, 19OS-9, has issued
warrants to exceed the revenues ano
income OF said years, however
great portion of these warrants were
issued to cover Indebtedness incurr-
ed prior TO statehood An old law
of Oklahoma provides that city
cannot issue warrants TO exceed so
per cent OF the tax levy for that
year, great many towns and cities
since statehood did not comply with
"A Of Cfn a a
legislature OF 1910 passed an act
validating all warrants issued by
any municipality exceeding the so
per cent limit
The supreme court of the state has
eeld that the issuance of warrant is
not the incurring of an Indebtedness,
II therefore follows that the issuance
of warrant for one year for indebt-
edness incurred for prior yea Is not
incurring Indebtedness for the year in
which the warrant Is issued.
The citizens of Ardmore who hold a
great many of these warrants deserve
Commendation for the manner in
which they have acted toward the
city Withholding their claims, and the
decision of Judge Russell will be
awaited with keen interest by them.

counsel set aside the first petition,
but granted a temporary injunction
as to the other two. The chancellor
agreed that We might meet and pro-
vide for the real estate transaction,
II we saw fit, but that it be not
consummated till the case should be
heard. This petition was filef in the
name OF the bishops and of the three
gentleman elected trustees by the
general conference. The only serious
issues are, does the charter author
ize any other body than the board
Of trust to fill its vacancies? and,
what are the exact rights and pow

body concerned will be glad to have
these matters passed upon and set

The aftiliation of Vanderbilt Uni
versitv with a new college for teach
ers, the first in the south and the
second In the United States, was
agreed TO by the board of trust az
it's meeting on last Tuesday. This
involves no union of the two other
than a teaching contract whereby
the students of one can have instruC-
ton in the other, neither school to
duplica-e courses offered by the 9th
er. In order to get the recitation
buildings near together, we agreed
TO sell them eleven acres of our
main campus-a tract of land that
contains about seventy-five acres
and In exchange they give US the

schools, and we hope that they will
thus soon take an undisputed place

s150,0O0 from the general education
board to be added to endowment,
and $150,000 from Mr.. w. K. Vender-
bilt for expenses incident to enlarg
ing the medical and dental schools
These promises are contingent upon
the dissolving of at least that part
OF the injunction which delays this
affillatiUn with the George Peabody
College for Teachers. This affiliation
is plan which has been approved
by the leading educational experts
Of the United States. The proposed
teachers college received an endow-
ment of sl,0GO,O0O from the Peabody
fund, and gifts of about $75O0O0
from other sources. But even this

ficient to set it up alone in complete
independence. Hence the plan to To-

thing necessary to DR.. CrippeH's coz
viction was his arrest
An interesting phase Of the discus
sion Of the case in this country Is the
charge that Scotland Yard did not ex-
eTcise proper caution in arresting Grip
pen when 1t could have done So This
apparent negligence Is explained by
the fact that the English law on the
subject of false arrest Is different from
ours Over there it's pretty serious
business TO arrest anybody The Of
feer must have a strong case against
the suspect. If it turns out the arrest
was unwarranted- the law, the courts
the press, and public opinion bear down
hard on the Office. As a result, Eng
lsh officials do not make arrests until
almost positive they can cOHsi5v.
Of course, Scotland Yard may have

Crippen Is arrested ne may become

THE RECIPE FOR MAKING
RABBIT PIE.

Everybody knows the ancient, approx
ed recipe for making rabbit pie First,
catch your rabbit England Is Just
now engaged in following this sage ad-
vice. Dr. Crippen Is the rabbit, and
the British government Is bending
every energy 10 overhaul him The
rest Of the civilized world has Joined
the chase. and It seems that the quarry
must surely he run TO cover before
long
In this instance, however, the cooks
viii have 20 do more than catch their
rabbit. If the public has been given all
the facts, 1t Is apparent that England
viii have a hard time to convict Dr..
Crippen after she gets her hands on
him. The doctrine Of the corpus deficit
Is rigidIy adhered to there, as IN this
country. and as Vet there seems TO be
no evidence upon which the government
could prove that DR.. CripPen's wife has
been killed. A mass OF flesh has been
found in the basement Of Dr. Crippen' 5
home. but It has not been, and perhaps
cannot be. identified as the remains OF
Belle EImore. Until the government
has first established as fact that the
woman was killed, It cannot convict
anybody Of her murder. This must
be proved first; the prosecution Of 9
particular individual on a charge OF
murder Is an independent proceeding
If Crippen Is captured and knows
enough to keep his mouth shut, 1t Is
doubtful If he can be convicted. If he
Is acquitted OF discharged without be-
ing tried, We VIII probably hear a great
deal Of talk to the effect that British
courts and legal methods are no more
effective than our own. The real ex-
PLANTATION, however, VIII be that we
