CAPITOL LsREMOvAL
PROVING COSTLY
Rentals For State Offices viii Far
Exceed Guarantees Made by
Committee.

Oklahoma City, Feb 6.-The state
board of public affairs is preparing to
secure additional quarters from sew
eral state departments as soon as the
senate concurrent resolution authoriE-
ing the board to take such action
passes the house, 1t Is proposed to
move the attorney generals depart.
meut, the labor commissioner and the
state banking board to the building in
which the legislative sessions are be-
ing held to make additional room in
the old high school building for the
other departments now quartered
there.
1t is conservatively estimated that
rental for the state departments that
cannot be quartered in the old high
school building will amount to $4,000
per year This does not include quar-
ters for the state library and the two
high state courts. To take care of
these the Legislature will add $4,000
more per year, which will mean an ex-
penditure of $4,000 a year for state
rentals for the next four or five years,
until permanent capital can be built
providing the legal capital remains at
Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma City has expressed it's
willingness to make a valid contract
binding the capitol expense company
of this city to pay $71 200 to cover
rentals, removal expenses, attorneys
fees already expended by the state
and other incidental expenses connect
ed with the removal. This, according
to a member of the senate capital COM
mittee, will use up the $71 200 before
the end of the first year, so that there
after the state will be put to annual
expenses for rentals which must be
paid out of the state treasury.
When the capital was located at Ok
lahoma City by the legislature the
members believed that rent fould be
furnished free until the permanent
capital building is completed, but they
did not stop to compute the enormous
amount of floor space required to
house the departments of state and
the prevailing high prices for office
rentals in Oklahoma City
The total exnenditures for renta1c at
Guthrie were $4,000 per year, while
after the first year the expenses for
rentals at Oklahoma City will be at
least $1,000 per year

THOMPSON BILL PROPOSES
TO INVESTIGATE CITIES

Oklahoma City, Feb. GA bill by
Senator Thompson of Pauls Valley
proposes to extend the authority of the
state examiner and inspector to an ex-
animation of the books and accounts
of all cities and incorporated towns
of the state. The bill gives the state
examiner authority to prescribe a
complete system of accounting for all
municipalities and to make it's adop-
tion compulsory; also to employ muni-
cipal accountants at $500 per year
each
The reports of the state examiner
and inspector upon such examinations
are admitted as evidence in the
courts. Each municipality must re-
port semi-annuaIly upon receipts and
expenditures to the examiner and in
spector and he must examine each at
least once a year.

NO PROBABILITY OF NEW
FEDERAL JUDGE THIS YEAR
FROM SATURDAYS DAILY.


Judge Parker said this morning that
while in Washington he became salts
fed that the clamor for a new federal
judicial district in Oklahoma, is a
proposition pushed by Congressman
Creager to crafty or placate Tulsa
for the loss of the federal building
promised that city. Judge Parker says
the supposition is that the proposition
will be referred to the judiciary COM
mittee and referred by the judiciary
committee to the department of JUS
tice and then referred to Judges Camp
bell and Cotteral, the present federal
judges in Oklahoma. Then if a new
judge is recommended it is not prob
able that the next house, which will be
democratic will pass bill creating a
new judge to be appointed by re-
publican president, and it is therefore
improbable that the new judgeship will
be created until after the presidential
election next year.

EASTERN MONEY SITUATION
AS SEEN BY JUDGE PARKER

Speaking of the money situation in
the east Judge Parker, says there is
a general feeling of better times for
the spring and summer, unless a spe-
cial session of congress should be
called. In that event conditions would
be unsettled pending the outcome of
that session. Judge Parker says that
he found also that while in the east
that real estate loans in New York
was commanding about the same rate
of interest as do similar. investments
in the west. For this reason the de-
mand for western investments has
been curtailed.

NEW ORLEANS WILL SEND
SHIP THROUGH PANAMA

New Orleans, Feb. Anew Orleans
answer to the world, in losing the
Panama Exposition is that she will
send the first American built, Ameri-
can owned, American manned ship of
the rehabilitated American merchant
marine through the Panama canal and
will demand that right of the United
States congress. This was the sub
stance of a ringing resolution adopted
by the New Orleans Progressive Union
the big commercial organization of
the CITY, the moment the news was
flashed from Washington that New Or
cans had lost and San Francisco had
won. 1t radiated optimism and is an
example of the buoyant courage of a
people who know how to lose and who.
in accepting defeat, spring forward
with greater vigor and aggressive de-
termination to let nothing quench the
ardor of their enthusiasm or the faith
in their destiny as the gulf gateway
which, only 1900 miles distant will
dominate the Panama canal, even
though the exposition is held in a city
300 miles away from the great chan
mel dug by Uncle Sam.
Louisiana has taken a step far in
advance of all the states of the Union
in fostering the American merchant
marine, by her people voting a con-
stitutional amendment exempting from
taxation all American steamship lines
whose home port is New Orleans. And
today Sidney Story, a leading citizen
of New Orleans is in Brazil as the spe-
cial emissary of the Progressive Union
to enter into reciprocal arrangements
with the Brazilian government. With
him is a party of twenty capitalists of
st. Louis and Kansas City, and the re-
suit will be the incorporation under
the Louisiana law, of what is to be
known as the Mississippi Valley.
South American and Orient Steamship
Line. Jas. w Porch, president of the
Progressive Union is likewise a leader
of the movement. 1t was due to his
personal efforts that the tax exemp-
ticn amendment was passed
New Orleans has one Of the worlds
great harbors, being ITO miles inland
from the Gulf of Mexico with any
where from forty to two hundred feet
of water in the Mississippi river and
thirty miles of river front, a consider
able portion of the wharves of which
are covered with modern steel sheds,
behind which is a belt railroad, both
owned by the public.
An enormous flood of American i'm
migration is coming into New Orleans,
taking up reclaimed and cut-over tim

Oklahoma City, Okla. Mar. 2l.-
The state capitol commission will de-
eide at a meeting to be held here this
week whether ii is dead or alive.
The legislature refused to pass bill
abolishing the commission, but at
the same ti~ refused to make any
appropriation for its salary and eX-
penses. 1t is considered highly inn
probable that the commission will
work without pay but that matter
will be decided at this weeks meet
ing.
Under the capital ,Fochtiosa com
mission the whole matter of the erec-
ton of capitol building was plac-
ed in the hands of the Capitol COM
mission, and no law has since yeen
passed transferring that authority to
any other body
Unless a special session should ne
held, therefore, it appears that moth
ing can be done on the capitol build
ing until after the next regular legis-
lative session.
Provision was made in the deficen.
cy appropriation bill for the payment
of salaries and expenses of the com.
mission until March IS, but until the
governor passes finally on that bill
It is rot known whether or not that
allowance will he made.

ty-fve years in prison on an unjust
accusation cast such a shadow over
the life of John Fl. Deyine that lib
erty was of no benefit to him and he
fled back to the penitentiary. His
death there recalls the history OF his
life of sixty years. The conviction
of Deyine, it was learned after many
years Of his sentence for rrurder had
been served, was the result Of care
lessness in the prosecution OF the
case. 2 aAsi E#
For a long time friends OF Devine
worked for his release from Danne-
mora prison Edward Bennett of Glen
Falls, a boyhood friend, was unfailing
in his efforts to obtain Devine's free
dom Bennett presented petition
Deyine's behalf to four governors,
and Governor Hughes finally grant

Bennett met Devine at the prison
portals and took him TO his home,
but six months contact with men who
were free of the prison stigma was
all that Devine could stand. He felt
that each glance toward him was one
OF scorn and resumed his toll in the
