INSURGENTS FLOP
ON WOOL SCHEDULE
President Taft's Veto is Sustained in
the House When insurgents
Desert Democrats.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 19.-If the
insurgents of the house had stood by
their guns Friday afternoon the wool
bill could have been passed over the
presidents veto AS it was, the mo-
ton to override the veto was lost by a
vote of 227 to 129. The total vote was
356. Two-thirds of that is 237 1-3. So
the opponents of the veto lacked ten
and one-third votes.
If Kansas had voted yesterday for
instance, as it did on the wool bill
first passed by the house, the oppon-
ents of the veto would have needed
only a few more recruits. When the
Underwood wool bill was passed by
the house every Kansas representa-
tice including the standpatters, An
thony and Campbell were registered in
the affirmative On the roll cali yes
terday Anthony and Campbell lined up
with the president, That was eN-
pected Rees, elected as a ninsurgent,
voted with the standpatters. Jackson,
Madison, Murdoch and Young were
consistent, voting against the veto.
They took the stand that if they yot-
ed for the wool bill originally there
was no reason why they should change
now
Mr.. Campbell was one Of those who
spoke in favor of supporting the pres
idents veto. That drew upon him the
attention of Speaker Clark, who quit
ted the chair and closed the debate for
the democrats.
1.-THE gentleman from Kansas voted
for this bill" the speaker said. What
has come over the spirit of his dream
that he should change his vote now?
Is it the sweet ordor of the flesh pots
of federal PATRONAGE
Another vote that the president
gained was that of Representative
Cooper, known as the original insur-
gent In explaining his flop, Mr..
Cooper devoted himself to proving that
the president had right under the
constitution, to resort to the veto. His
couse was directly opposite to that of
his colleague, Mr.. Lenroot, who de-
liyered probably the best speech of
the afternoon in an effort to hold the
insurgents in line in support of the
nill.
Representative Nye of Minnesota
after having given interviews saying
he would vote to overthrow the veto
made a speech saying the presidents
veto message was so convincing he
just couldn't do it. And so it ran all
along the line.

Don'ts for Consumers of Food

any person suffering from a contag-
ious or infectious disease.
Don't patronize a food dealer who
lives in the same apartment where food
is prepared, stored or sold.
Don't buy candies and small fruits
that have been exposed to flies, and
dust.
Don't permit a public eating house
to serve you food in broken or crack
ed dish, cup, glass or other receptacle.
Don't buy lemonade or other acid
drinks stored in metal containers.
Don't patronize the food dealer who
permits cats and dogs to roam on
shelves and counters.
Don't fail to look for statements
printed on all sacks of flour. The
existing practice of ''bleeching" flour
artifcially produces a white product,
but conceals inferiority. 1t is now re-
quired that all bleached flour be label
ed; "Bleached"
Don't buy highly colored candies,
At best all colored candies are in
furious, while many of them are dan
gerous.

EVANS GIVES TESTIMONY IN
SCHOOL INVESTIGATION
Developed at Fridays Inquiry That The Board
is Split Wilson Faction in MajOrity---Let
ters Written to Governor Cruce Are
Introduced by DepOsed President
of Oklahoma University

Oklahoma City, Aug 19.-Testimony
Friday in the investigation of charges
against the state board of education
developed that the board was split,
Wilson, Dunlop, Hays and Glenn form
ing one faction and Rowsey, Scott and
Brandenburg the other. Letters were
read into the record from e. p. r.
Duyal, former professor ON mathe-
MATES at Oklahoma university, to Su-
perintendent Wilson, asking why Du-
val had been released, nothwithstand-
ing he had been recommended for re-
tention by the president and acting
president.
Duval came to Oklahoma from the
University of Wisconsin and within ten
days after his release in Oklahoma
he was engaged by Princeton. Dur
ing the time he also had offers from
Texas, Kansas, Wisconsin and Wash
ington universities and Dartmouth
college. President A. Grant Evans
stated that Duyal's successor at the
university came from the Logan coun.
ty high school.
During the primary campaign last
year, DR.. Evans stated, he received a
letter from A. c. Parsons, now secre
tary of the board, but formerly of the
Durant normal, urging Evans to Zine
lup" the school people in behalf of VIII
son, candidate against E. d. Gamer
on for state superintendent. DR.. Evans
declined to take part in the situation
he said, but declared that those who
did line up" had been "cared for.
After the board was organized, DR.
Evans said, he got a letter from Par
sons, as secretary, demanding his res
ignation.
President Evans offered letters
which he had written to Governor
Cruce in one of which he related thai
professor of the university came tC
Oklahoma City to protest against the
re.ease of Professor Duyal, and tha
the person was told by Wilson tha
the university could expect very little
from him, as only three men there has
supported him for election.
Evans also stated that a young wo
man employed at the university Wen
to Shawnee to intercede with minis
ters of that town to cease their oppos
ition to Scott Glenn, a candidate fol
city superintendent of schools at tha
place, and when she was asked why
she replied that Glenn was a member
of the state board of education, anC
her position was at stake.
The witness stated that thirteen pro
fessors had been released Five were
connected with the university proper
The weekly chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Craig County, Okla.) 1905-1913, 1911-08-25

and the remainder with the medical
branch.
Dr. Evans was cross-eXamined by
Attorney o. T. Smith, who asked if
1t was not true that Evans was elected
head of the university at time of
great political upheayal and if charges
were not made at the time in the press
and magazines of the country that his
appointment was of political nature.
DR.. Evans stated he heard something
of it and that he wrote replies, but
did not attempt to deny charges as
to general school conditions in the
state.
Professor J. H. Sawtell, head of the
department of political science and
economics at the university for the
last three years, testified that he is a
graduate of Kansas university and OBJ
tanned the A. B. degree there in 1892
and a degree from Harvard in 1895.
He stated he had taught twelve years,
having been principal of high schools
in several Kansas towns and head of
the department of political science and
economics at Epworth university, Ok
lahoma City, before getting position
in the state university.
The substance of Professor Sawtell's
testimony was that he was removed
by the state board of education after
he had been indorsed by Dean Monette
acting president, and DR.. Evans, re-
firing president of the university. Not
withstanding, he said, he was dis.
charged without official notice and
without an opportunity to be heard
He stated that the first intimation he
heard of his removal was a rumor. He
came to Oklahoma City and was told
at the hotel by w E. Rowsey, a mem
Der of the board, that he had been
removed. He asked Rowsey if there
was any chance to appear in his own
behalf, and Rowsey told him that his
ouNNSooOl OH Sduy hdb DcSh HdLlSu anu
that nothing could be done in his be
half.
Attorney Dudley, for the complain
ants, asked to have Scott Glenn OF
Shawnee, one of the members of the
board, placed on the stand. Glenn
was asked to name the teachers given
positions in the state schools who re-
sided at Shawnee or had been under
his supervision as city superintendent
Glenn named four and upon the re
quest of Dudley promised to direct
the secretary of the board to prepare
list of all such teachers. Dudley ex
planned that this evidence is desired
to substantiate the charge that teach
ers were selected through personal
| lfavoritism.
