THE END Of CRAFT
SENATOR OWEN DISCUSSES COM
MISSION FORM or GOVERNMENT
HAS INTERNATIONAL Value
President Tafts Yachting Party
Nearly Breaks Up the Senate for
the Week.

WASHINGTON, July Senator Rob
ert L. owen Of Oklahoma, before the
United States Senate today gave the
details OF n plan Of municipal gov
ernment administration, known as
commission form of government"
Tho speaker took tho position that
such a form of government would be
an agency for the restoration of in
tegrlty and efficiency and the termi-
nation OF corruption Of the city, state
and nation, and the overthrow of the
undesirables Of the community. Hay
ing declared that the greatest prob
lem Of the present time Is the restor-
alton of the equality Of opportunity
so that every man, woman and child
shall enjoy a fair return for their
labors of honorable character. The
speaker considered the question in its
bcsIing on tho integrity of the gov
ernment
THE commission form Of govern
ment,' he said, has national value
and a direct bearing on the integrity
Of the election of senator's because
the various political mGchines in
municipalities is an important agency
THE proportion Of the inhabitants
living in cities as compared with the
country, is forty or fifty per cent, not
including towns Of $500 or less and
If corrupt government in the cities
can be terminated, corrupt govern
ment cannot survive in the state or
nation"
The address Of Senator owen be-
fore the Senate today was one Of the
concluding features of the day. Presi-
dent Tafts yachting party, ond which
several senator's are to be entertained
on cruise from Philadelphia to
| Washington, led to an unsuccessful
attempt in tho Senate to adjourn un-
/ I'll Monday. Senator Cummins Of Iowa
! said that he did not want his series
of articles voted upon in the absence
of himself and Several Of the lead
! ing senator's" and he did not want
to make the senators miss the cool
| breezes OF the ocean for the sultry
atmosphere Of the Senate chamber"
An agreement for n vote on the
Cummins amendment was then in
troduccd, but objections Of Senator
Hayburn and others finally forced
Senator Cummlns to withdraw his
plea
Senator Gronna concluded his anti
reciprocity speech and Senator Thorn
ton OF Louisiana opposed the reel
procity measure. Senator Swanson OF
Virginia urged a plan for state road
construction, and then came the ad-
dress of Senator owens.

Special to the World
oklahoma city, July z-"T have

Governor CrUco has no authority 10

Bennett was appointed by former
Governor Haskell Tho two other
members have resigned, This is the
first time since Cruco placed the
matter In charge of the board of af-
fairs that Bennett has spoken.
81 have power to demand the rosig-
nation OF the capitol commission un-
der the provisions Of law creating the
commission Governor Crucc said
this afternoon. $50 far as ] am con-
concd, the only capitol committee or
commissioner in existence are those
named 10y me-"
Governor Cruco requested the rcslg-
nations of old commission. and form
ally named the members Of state
| board of public Affairs, members OF
committee.
Dr Bouuotts attitude ties the state
capitol proposition up i'm q double bow
knot and the governor APPARENTLY can
not turn % hand uuul Bennett gets
out OF the way
The governor decided that the state
board of affairs could handle tho
proposition OF building the state capi-
tol, and at his request Boone VIII
liams Of Lehlgh and Tate Brady Of
Tulsa, the two Democratic members
Of tho capitol commission, resigned.
Now Dr. Bennett the Republican
member refuses to resign II Is as
serted hy the best attorneys In the
state that the governor cannot re-
move him, as his Job was created by
an act OF tho Legislature. Cruce
tried 10 get the last Legislature to
pass bill repeating the act provid-
Ing for a capitol commission, but they
refused to do so.
No charges can be preferred against
Dr. Bennett and his removal brought
about in this manner, because the
capitol commission has done nothing.
Just why the doctor will not re-
sign he would not state. Probably
he is getting even with some Of the
e calling him to oklahoma city to tes-
itfy and give evidence before the
Senate relative TO a statement he had
mad concerning some Of the senators
receiving fine presents and spending
money with a lavish hand.
Anyway Dr. Bennett has tied the
proposition up and seems to hold the
o whip hand.

surf Calf, july 7--Twenty or
more passengers of the wrecked
steamer, Santa Rosa of the Pacific
Coast steamship Company were
drowned in the surf at dusk this
evening while trying to escape from
the boat which was stranded at
Point Argucllo, six miles south of
here before dawn. Two frail life
boats left the ship, and only mo-
ment later were plunged into the
roaring surf. Some were pounded
to DEATH while oilers sank to the
bottom.
At $50 this evening the Santa
Rosa was almost submerged and
frantic efforts were being made to
save the rest of the 200 hundred
passengers At that hour the
Arguello reported that the vessel
had broken in twain and that inn
meuse waves were dashing against
the ship which will be Il complete
wreck within few hours, and It Is
certain that the death list will mount
up rapidly
The doom of the steamer was
sealed shortly after 4 o'clock this
afternoon when a rising sea forced
an abandonment of the efforts Of
the Centralia and the John p. Drew
to rescue the passengers and crew
Of the Santa Rosa, Up to that time
there was no apprehension Of danger
as it was thought that she could be
floated easily, but as the afternoon
wore on the danger increased and it
was certain death to attempt to
save any Of the ships company
Early in the day the Centralia and
the John F. Drew had passed lines
to the Santa Rosa and with a rising
wind the ship swung around broad
side to the wind. The sea was too
strong for the limited horsepower
of the tugs, and at dusk the Santa
Rosa began to break up.
The crash Of the breaking vessel
could be heard by the wireless men
at Point Arguella. The shore line
