Oklahoma City, Mar 3.--President
Protein Thomas, Of the senate ap-
pointed select senatorial committee
Thursday afternoon, TO investigate the
graft charge brought by DR., Leo e.
Bennett Of Muskogee against certain
members OF the senate.
The senators composing the com
mittee are Sorrels Of Wilburton, Gra-
ham Of Catossa, Horton Of Altus, Pot
ter of Okmulgee and Chapman Of
Tonkawa. Senator Sorrels is chair
man. Senator Mitchell OF Cheyenne
was first named on the committee but
pleaded that he wished to go home
lat the close of the session and was
replaced by Senator Horton.
Or. Bennett, who Is member Of
the capitol commission, gave an in
terview to the Muskogee Phoenix in
which he cast suspicious on senator's,
whom he did not name.
All amendments offered to the
school land sale bill in the committee
of the whole and donated were pro-
posed in the senate again Tuesday
afternoon and all rejected. The bill
was then passed finally, 29 to H. A
joint resolution was introduced by
Senators Redwine, Franklin and Rod

people at the 1912 general election.
Governor Cruce horrified the pub

ture Thursday by vetoing the $115,00O

He observed in that connection that

make only such appropriations for pub

occasion imperatively demanded.
Adjournment of the legislature Sat
urday is impossible, though the house
lis ready to quit. Telegrams were re-
ceived from Washington Thursday that
it was doubtful If any important bill
would pass at the regular session. This
will doubtless prevent redistricting the

WILL CALL EXTRA
SESSION MARCH IS
Republican Leaders Called to White
House For Conference in Regard
to Special Session.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, d. c., Mar. S.-Eleven
days after congress adjourns tomor-
row it probably will be called together
in extra session. March Is was the
date given at the White House as the
time, which in all probability Taft
would select. Practically all hope has
been abandoned by the administration
Of getting reciprocity through before
congress adjourns.
From administration circles today
comes the universal statement that an
extra session of congress is inevitable,
unless the senate before noon tomor-
row adopts the pending bill providing
for reciprocity with Canada. The SEN
ate met at ten o'clock with about
twenty members present, after the
late session last night. The sundry
civil bill was the first matter taken
up. Senator Stone gave notice that
upon the completion of this bill he
would move to take up the Mccall
bill to carry into effect the Canadian
reciprocity agreement.
The senate shortly afternoon pass
ed the sundry civil bill also the naval
appropriation bill. Next the post Office
appropriation bill was taken up. The
proposed magazine postage increase
element of this bill died when Sena-
tor Penrose announced the abandon
nent of that feature.
