QUICK PARDON FOR
SPECIAL OFFICER
Governor in Letter Takes Creek Coun
ty Officials Severely to Task FOR
Arrest of Hubbard.

Oklahoma City, July 29.-Seeing a
notice in Sapulpa newspaper that
Tom Hubbard, whom he had recently
appointed an enforcement officer, had
been arrested and convicted of carry
ing pistol, Governor Cruce yester-
day Immediately granted full pardon
to Hubbard, and ordered it to take
effect at once.
The governor also addressed a let
ter to ], Fl, McClanahan in which he
takes severely to task the county Of
ficials of Creek county for the treat
ment Of the enforcement officer.
1T seems that it is very easy" says
the governor, for the local officials
in your county to arrest a man acting
under a commission issued by the
special enforcement officer of this
state, but the gambler, the bootlegger
and the jointist is each permitted to
ply his trade, wreck homes, destroy
youth, and make laughing stock of
the laws of this state with impunity
No stronger proof is needed to con-
vince any reasonable man that your
local officers are not in sympathy with
the enforcement of the prohibition
law.
There have been more than two
hundred special deputies appointed
under the recent act of the legislature
and | say to you, here and now, that
if it is necessary in order to enforce
prohibition in this state will see that
one hundred thousand good men are
appointed in Oklahoma if they will
agree to accept commissions. The
people of Oklahoma have spoken on
this question and the bootleggers and
the jointist and those in sympathy with
them had just as we'll understand that
they must obey that law.
4 do not want any clash between
the state enforcement officers and the
local enforcement officers, and hope
that the good judgment of the people
will prevail and that nothing of the
kind viii occur. but be it understood
now that officers who are commission
ed from this department to see that
the laws Of this state are enforced and
upheld win be protected by the chief
executive of this state as long as
am governor.
ANY man appointed as a deputy en-
forcement officer in Oklahoma during
my term of office who in the discharge
of his duty is arrested by any other
official in the state and imprisoned
and fined will be pardoned as quicly
as the matter is brought to my atten-
ton There would be no need of any
special enforcement officers in Creek
county if the local officers were doing
their duty"

ANTHONY USES SHERLOCK
HOLMES METHOD ON H|NDS

Oklahoma City, July 29-By the use
of Sherlock Holmes methods w. B.
Anthony, former speaker of the house
and private secretary to former Gov
ernor c. n Haskell, has found R. w
Kinds, who is charged with having
appropriated to his own use about 5000
belonging to the Herald-Democrat, a
newspaper at McAlester, of which he
was editor and manager at the time,
Mr.. Anthony, who is business man
ager of the newspaper and president
of the company of owners, stated yes
terday that he has traced Kinds to
Utica, N. Y, and that he has been ar
rested there and is being held pend
ing the issuance of requisition papers
by Governor Cruce of Oklahoma
The former speaker traced Kinds
through the aid of the newspaper men
of the country and letters which Kinds
wrote to sweetheart in Oklahoma.
The former speaker did not ask the
aid of detectives in his search for the
missing man, but Immediately after
his disappearance last May, Mr., An
thony got in touch with newspaper
men at st. Louis and learned that
Kinds had passed through that city
for Milwaukee Anthony assumed that
Kinds went to his home at Flint, Mich
which he found was the case, but learn
ed that after brief visit there he
went on into Canada. Anthony then
lost trace of Kinds for time until
he learned that he had a sweetheart in
an Oklahoma town who was receiving
letters from him. He managed to see
one of these letters and recognized the
handwriting on an envelope as that
of Kinds and through the postmark
found his man at Utica.

YOUNG WYANl0TTE MAN
KILLED BY TALSA OFFICER


Tulsa, Okla, July 29.-The young
man suspected of horse stealing, who
was shot and instantly killed Friday
morning by Assistant Chief of Police
John Moran, was identified Friday aft
.ernoon as VIM. Wooliver of Wyandotte
Okla, who has wife and child. He
also has three brothers.
He was identified by C. B. Atwood
of Tulsa, formerly Of Wyandotte and
intimately acquainted with Wooliver.
Wooliyer was snot while attempting
to escape from Moran, who had placed
him under arrest.
County Attorney Malloy set a pre-
eedent in the case when he recon-
mended the dismissal of the coroner's
inquest in progress investigating the
death of Wooliver. on the ground that
the state laws and constitution make
no provision for a coroner and that
the acts of a coroner or coroner's Jury
would therefore be Illegal, and they
would be unable to collect their fees.
Sentiment is strong against Moran for
shooting the fleeing man.

HOUSE WILL NOT
TAKE SUBSTITUTE
Will Permit Congress to Adjourn
Rather Than Accept LaFoIIette
Bill For Revision on Wool.

Washington, d. c., July 29.-Con-
ferences of democratic leaders Of the
house Friday disclosed the fact that
the democratic majority has no pres
ent intention of accepting the wool
bill passed by the senate Thursday
through a combination of democrats
and progressive republicans. Chair
man Underwood of the ways and
means committee said he was opposed
to the LaFollete bill. He added that
mot democrat of influence in the
house had expressed himself in favor
of that measure.
Mr.. Underwood made it clear that
the democratic leaders of the house
would consent to the adjournment of
congress without enacting legislation
revising Schedule K in accordance
with the popular demand rather than
accept the measure bearing the Wis
consin senator's name. He said:
what is the use of accepting the
LaFollette bill or amending the house
wool bill when everybody knows Pres
ident Taft will veto it and any other
tariff measure. / feel sure the house
will remain loyal to the measure
agreed to in the democratic caucus and
passed by the democratic majority"
At the white house wool legislation
has displaced reciprocity. Not since
the extra session began has the politi-
cal situation been so tense in execu-
tive circles.> The democratic-insurgent
coalition has given the administration
shock, if it does nothing else.
The best information at the White
House yesterday was that the presi-
dent would stick to his announced in
tention of vetoing any tariff revision
legislation sent to him in advance of
the tariff boards report. He called the
extra session to consider reciprocity.
He wanted 10 other tariff bill passed.
And anyway there is a tariff commits
sion whose business it is to study
schedules and recommend changes.
The president favors waiting changes.
The president fayors waiting to hear
from it this fall before passing any
tariff legislation except reciprocity.

MRS. LAURA WISENHUNT
 IS FOUND NOT GUILTY
Woman Charged With Murder of Her Husband, Whose Body Was
 Found in We'll.

Nashville, Ark.-Mrs. Laura Whis- enhunt, tried here on a charge of the murder of her husband. Isom Whisen- hunt, at their nome in this county last fall, was acquitted.
 Walter Whisenhunt, aged 15 years, jointly indicted with his mother, was not tried, but was used a witness for the state. He and another son and daughter swore that Whisenhunt came home drunk from Nashville the night of the killing and threatened to kill the whole family. They testified that he had a rifle with him. and actually undertook to carry out his threat. Mrs. Whisenhunt then took a pistol from a bureau drawer, they swore, and shot.
 They explained the fact that the body was found in an old well on an adjoining place by saying that after they saw that Whisenhunt had been killed, they became frightened, and their first thought was to conceal the body. They placed the body in a wag- on and hauled it to the old well, where it was thrown in.

ADVISES AGAINST USING
 ANY OVERLOOKED CORN
Well-known Physician Says to Eat Moulded Cereal Is Likely to
 Produce Dread PelIagrs.

Imboden.-Owing to the excessive rainy season and especially to the great amount of corn which was over flowed recently when Spring and Strawberry rivers went on a rampage, Dr Chas. D. Tibbles of Smithville, a prominent practitioner of Lawrence county, sounds a note of warning to the residents of the affected districts through the columns of a local paper, cautioning them to avoid the use of
 bread made from oyerflowed or mould ed corn in order to prevent the in troduction of pellagra, which is said 10 be caused from eating bread made from bad corn or moulded meal. As Yet, pellagra is entirely unknown in Lawrence county, and probably in the entire northeastern part of the state.

FRENCH LOVE OF DRAMATIC
National Trar Illustrated by Story of Soldier Who Was Carrying
 the Pardon. |

When Marshal MacMahon was president of the French republic, an incident occurred which aptly illus trates the French love of what is dramatic
 A French soldier sat on the summit of hill overlooking a garrison town; his horse was picketed close by; tho man was smoking leisurely, and from time to time he glanced from the esplanade to big official envelope he held in his hand
 A comrade passing by asked. What are you doing here?"
 "I am bearing the presidents par don for our friend F'lichmann, who is to be shot this morning." replied the smoker. calmly, without changing his comfortable attitude.
 Well, then, you should hurry along with your pardon" admonished his comrade.
 "Ah, no," exclaimed the other, in some indignation. See, there Is hard ly a soul yet on the esplanade, and the firing platoon has not even been formed You surely would not have me rob my appearance of all dramatic effect, my friend!"

All Have Artificial Legs.
Nothing happened.

Loss of leg is essential to job with a Chicago firm. All but two of its 102 employees in the factory and in the branch offices wear one or two ar tificial legs. The institution manufac- lures artificial limbs, and the em- ployes leave their work to show the newly fitted patients how we'll they can walk, run and jump with the arti- ficial article. Makers doubt If there ever was such thing as "cork leg" in which cork entered in any con siderable extent into the making of the limb. Some of them claim that the name was derived from one Cork, who made artificial legs early In the last century in New York. In the present day they are manufactured from English willow. covered with a thin parchment or enamel, or of wood and leather.

The man with his coat collar turned up, and his derby pitched down over bis eyes, who was slouching along in the shadow of the building, suddenly beckoned to the man on the other side of the street Here's an easy one, Pete," he growled, hoarsely.
 Where's an easy one?" snarled Pete.
 This here house. It's like taking gum from a stenographer that's fixin' her hair Some chump has gone away an left his latch key in this door" Pete took swift look at the house and began to back up. You can go to it," he said. T don't want in on it."

VERY RICH NEVER GENEROUS
They May Give Away Their Money. but Never Themselves, Says
 c. K. Chesterton.

There are two other odd and rather important things to be said about them. The first is this: That with this aristocracy we do not have the chance of lucky variety in types which belongs to larger and looser aristocracies. The moderately rich include all kinds of people--even good people. Even priests are some times saints; and even soldiers arc sometimes heroes. Some doctors have really grown wealthy by curing their patients and not by flattering them; some brewers have been known to sell beer But among the very rich you will never find really generous man, even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egotistic. secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money, you must be dull enough to want it.
 Lastly, the most serious point about them Is this: That the new miser is fiattered for his meanness and tho
 
 called self-denial in the old miser that he lived on beans. It Is called self denial In the new millionaire If he lives on beans. A man like Dancer was never praised as a Christian saint for going in rags. A man like Rockefeller is praised as a sort of pagan stoic for his early rising or his unassuming dress. His simple" meals, his simple" clothes, his simple funeral. are all extolled as If they were creditable to him. They are disgraceful to him, exactly as dis graceful as the tatters and vermin of the old miser were disgraceful to him. To be in rags for charity would be the condition of a saint; to be in rags for money was that of filthy old fool Precisely in the same way, to be simple" for charity Is the state of saint; to be simple" for money Is that of filthy old fool. Of the two have more respect for the old miser. gnawing bones in an attic.-G. K. Chesterton in London Daily News.

Sheen as Burden Bearers.

In the northern part of India sheep are put to use unthought of in Euro pean countries The mountain paths among the foothills of the Himalayas are so precipitous that the sheep. more sure footed than larger beasts, are preferred as burden carriers.
 The load for each sheep is from 16 pounds to 20 pounds. The sheep are driven from village to village with tha wool still growing and in each town the farmer shears as much wool as he can sell there and loads the sheep with the grain he receives in ex' change. After his flock has been sheared he turns it homeward. each sheep having on it's back small bag containing the purchased grain.

Landor Poems Found.

The Walter Savage Landor exhibi- ton at the London library is of great interest, comprising portraits. manu- scripts and first editions from the im- portant Landor collection of s. Wheel er. says the London Times.
 The most interesting of the literary relics is a volume of manuscript poems and corrections by Landor which he himself described on a slip of paper (here preserYed1 as "sweepings from under the study table" The papers in this volume were taken from Lan- dor's writing desk more than thirty years after his death.
 Some of the poems are unpublished. and in other cases there are to be found the original drafts of lines which appeared in print in an altered form. Other documents include will written by himself in which he be- queathed pictures to Robert Browning and Mrs. Lynn Linton.

HOW HE LODGED THE ISSUE
Minister, Preaching Funeral Sermon for Worthless Man, Talked of
 This Glorious Age.

One of the hardest things minis. ter is called upon to do Is to deliver an address at the funeral of a man for whom there Is really nothing good to be said. Such moments of embar. rassment do occasionally arise. How one parson tactfully coped with the situation is thus reported in Human Life:
 The very worst man in a mining camp not notorious for its piety died. The fellow had been terribly bad. If he lacked anything of total depravity. none could recall any evidence of it.. He had been brutal and debauched and debased In every way known to mankind. When he died there was a quandary as to what to do at his funeral. He had been shot down in his boots, in defense of the very de- eency of the camp. A nonresident minister was sent for, and was told the awful truth about the deceased.
 Didn't he have any good point?'' asked the minister.
 Not one"
 Wasn't he even kind to a child some timer"
 Never"
 The minister was lost in thought a while; then he asked:
 When Is the funeral to be-"
 Tomorrow at three. Will you preach?"
 "Oh, yes!"
 What in the world will you talk about?"
 T shall talk" said the minister "on the glorious age in which this man lived"

Death by Own Negligence"

Morrilton. - An unidentified negro man, about q years of age, was found dead on the track here. At the cor oner's investigation it was shown that the back across the shoulders and left arm were broken, a dent ia the fore head as though struck by a blunt in- strument, and neck apparently brok- en. A peculiar circumstance attend ing the finding was that there was no blood on the rails or ties, nor on the clothing, nor any evidence of body being thrown from the train. The verdict of the coroner, death by own negligence
