FAVORS FEDERAL
 CONTROLL FOR ALL

Charlottesville. Va, June 15.-Corpora- tions engaged in interstate business should be under federal control. Such was the policy advocated by Frederick w. Lehman, solicitor general of the United States, in an address last evening to the graduating class at the University of Virginia.
 The great influence of the corporations on business propositions was indicated by MT. Lehman, yet he said little had been done by the government in the way of regulating the corporations, save to keep watchful eye on the banks Though public utility corporations had been reg ulated to the service and charges, no over their capitalization or their internal affairs had been directed. Other great corporations-mercant in- dustrial and miscellaneous, which num- Der more than 100000, with a capital of s4S 0O0 GOO GOO, practically had been regu- lated in no way.

BIDDERS EAGER
 FOR BOND ISSUE

Washington, June 15.-The govern ments issue of $50,OO0oo0 Panama bonds promises to be so successful that there will be no chance that any part of the proceeds of the issue may go to banks as deposits.
 Several large banks have practically offered to subscribe the whole issue if the treasury would permit them to hold the money. Secretary MacVeagh and his advisers have decided that the pro- ceeds of the bond sales must be brought to the treasury to strengthen the working balance and replenish the general fund for expenditures on the Panama canal.
 Bids for the issue will close next Saturday Although 1t is reported that some large syndicates have been organized to take large part of the issue, Secretary MacVeagh has not changed his determination to give pref erence to smaller bidders if possible.

Keep Orozco Out of Chihuahua

Chihuahua, June 15.-(Via Fl Paso,
 Texas.)- became known today that influence had been brought to bear at Mexico City to keep Orozco's army out of Chihuahua. Orozoco, who among a
 large following of insurrectos is more popular than was Madero, still Is en- camped with his ragged army 30 miles north of here. Meantime all military authority in this zone has been in vested in General Villar, the old federal commander, and nothing has come from Mexico City to dispel the general be- lief that OroZoco is to be shelved or at least kept in an obscure position. Orozco confidently expects to enter the city at the head of his troops. The people here hope he will not as the presence of 5000 or more armed men would present @ problem. Governor Gonzles has received no definite word as to whether the federal troops are to evacuate. At present 1t is impossible for the federal troops to move on ac- count of the lack of railroad facilities.

1.-THE ALDRIcH BANKING PLAN"

One of the cardinal merits of sys-
TEN of co-ordinated banking. with
central banking mechanism at the
center, will be the substitution OF
commercial banking for stockeX-
change banking. In every European
country changes in the rate OF dis
count are determined primarily by
the demand for commercial credit. In
the New York market, on the con
trary. It is the demand for money for
speculation which fixes the rate to
borrowers. 1t is the rate for call
loans which Is quoted as the govern
ing factor in the price OF money and
which determines in a large measure
whether commercial credit be grant
ed freely or whether It be refused.
This vicious system will be elimi-
mated by such central banking mech
anism as Senator Aldrich has propos-
ed-partly by the exclusion OF stock
exchange loans from the business OF
the reserve association, partly by Civ
ing greater negotability TO CONNER

functions OF the reserve association

SHOT TO SAVE OWN llFE-AC-
cUsED TELLS STRAIGHT STORY
OF PAWNEE KILLING.

Tulsa, Okla, April 5.-At noon
Wednesday Frank Manning, the de-
fendant in the noted Kenefick MUIR
der case, was placed on the witness
stand to testify in his own behalf.
The case is now being argued and
will go to the jury tomorrow. Cool
and deliberately he answered all of
the questions put to him on direct
and on cross examination. All the
nervousness he showed was when he
twitched and curled his mustache
while under the rapid fire Of cross
examination by ]. H. Sturgis, the Enid
attorney employed by the Elks' who
is conducting the case.
Manning's story:
Il am A years old, / have lived In
Pawnee county for the last Is years;
my wife and | live on a three-acre
tract and are engaged in the poultry
business one-half mile north of Paw
nee.
"l knew Joe Kenefick six years be
fore his death. l saw him on the eve
ming of November 25 last. I went to
mans house and while there drank
two bottles of beer and then l met
Joe Kenefick. We shook hands and
talked. l went there for the purpose
of telephoning. After using the tele-
phone l started away and Kenefick
called me back and he stated that he
would have something to drink short
ly. remained and Albert Mcclure
came into the office with whiskey and
We all drank.
81 then started home and he asked
me to take him to his hotel. / said
that | wasn't going that way and he
said that he would go home with me.
Says InsuIted Wife.
when we reached home I intro
duced Joe to my wife, and we entered
the house through the kitchen door.
We sat down to supper shortly and
while We were eating, William Over
street arrived A man by the name
of Clayton was with Overstreet. but
he left. Kenefick was very drunk
and just prior to the time Overstreet
arrived he used vulgar language and
called him down on my wife's ac,
count. He did not seem to mind.

saw a story in the paper about Jack
Love and this started him off on his
fit of madness. He was either drunk
or crazy. Overstreet was there to

borrow my horse for the next day He
was also very drunk
Shortly after Overstreet came into
the room he went into the sitting
room and started the phonograph to
playing. / followed Overstreet into
this room and Kenefick came after
me. He struck me blow over the
heart with his fist and sent me to the
floor. He fell on top of me and Over
street pulled him off. l then struck
him over the head with pistol and
it went off accidentally and he swore
that he would kill me. l ran into
the bedroom and told Overstreet to
take Kenefick to the hotel in the city
and there would be no trouble. He
got him as far as the kitchen / heard
the stove pipe fall and looked out OF
the bedroom door Kenefick had
broVen away from Overstreet and
was coming through the door toward
me. saying I won't leave until l have
got that d for hitting me, will
kill him with his own gum I step
ped out of the door and walked around
Kenefick, who kept coming toward
me. When about three or four steps
from me. I commenced to shoot. l
shot three times before Kenefick
stopped"
Did you believe your life was in
danger when you shot kenefickE
was asked of Manning.
"Yes, sir" he said, 81 did, I knew
IL he ever got hold of me he would
take the gun and kill me-"
Continuing with his story Manning
said: 81 never had my hands on
Kenefick until after he was shot He
was lying in the center of the room
and he looked up with a desperate
look on his countenance and said'
Frank, I don't blame you for doing
it."
Manning described this scene-true
or untrue-with no emotion and abso-
lutely no feeling.
Several witnesses took the stand to-
day, including R. S. Cole, county at
torney; James H. Hale, justice OF the
peace; William Overstreet, only wit
ness to the crime.
