SUMMARY OF CHARGES IN
. HANDSOF BOARD SATTORNEY

Oklahoma City, Aug. IA summary
of the charges filed against members
of the state board of education was
handed to Attorney o. T. Smith, rep
resenting the board, by Governor
Cruee Wednesday in anticipation of
the hearing scheduled to begin in the
executive offices today, and to con-
tinue uninterrupted until concluded
finally. A large amount of new mat
ter has been filed by Professor L. j..
Abbott, who was displaced from his
chair in the Edmond Normal school, in
the form of affidavits.
He charges that the American Book
company dominates the state board of
education through Scott that State
Superintendent Wilson is systemati-
cally opposed to any man that did not
support him at the primary; that a
crowd of alleged whiskey promoters,
headed by two Edmond men, dominat-
ed the board in making appointments
to the Central Normal.
He alleges that every supporter of
Cameron against Wilson, in the pri-
maries, was removed, except one, and
that one is an open supporter of the
American Book company.
He asserts that members Glenn,
Hayes, Dunlop and Wilson are trying
to build up a political machine through
the eighteen states schools they domi
nate, and that many teachers who
could not qualify as instructors in city
schools were elected to places in high
er institutions; and that Charles
Evans, the new president of the Ed
mond Normal is an active friend OF
the American Book company.
Abbott also charges that the ''civi
service" rule was not adopted by the
board until the favorites were placed

full showing. The members of the
board will be represented the council
in the hearing, but it is not known
whether they will honor the proceed
ings by personal attendance.

WON'T DEMAND GOVERNMENT
AID FOR BIG EXPOSITION

Washington, d. c., Aug. 16.-While
there is a firm determination not to de-
mand government appropriations for
the support of the Panama-California
Exposition, to be held in San Diego
during the entire calendar year 1915,
it is becoming more evident daily that
the various departments of the govern
ment in Washington are greatly in
terested in the scope and purposes of
the exposition. The chronological fea-
ture will attract the attention of all
scientific men. Every tribe of abort
ginees, if possible, will be represented
in the reservation set apart for these
people, so rapidly vanishing from the
lands where they once held sway. True
some tribes are not diminishing in
numbers, but most of them are grow
ing fewer in numbers every year, and
most of them are changing their con-
dition and adopting the ways of civil
ization. Then, the exposition of the
development of irrigation through
which much of the one-time desert
has been transformed into very pro-
ductive lands; the illustration of for
estry practices; the industries of the
agricultural departmental of these
and kindred activities, are interesting
the various branches of the govern
ment engaged in them They will nee
essarily interest the public also for
they help to show how this great coun.
try is being developed so that it will
be able to support population of hun.
dreds of millions of inhabitants in
comfort.

OKLAHOMA CITY CONTRACTOR
ASKS FOR INVESTIGATION

Oklahoma City, Aug. 15.-Charges
indirectly involving the state board of
public affairs were filed Monday with
Governor Cruce in the form of an aft
davit by Engene Gill, an Oklahoma
City contractor. Gill suggestes an in-
vestigation and offers to appear before
the governor to give what information
he may possess. No charge is made
directly against the board, but the
affidavit alleges that a certain "brok-
erage" company was organized at the
beginning of the Cruce administration
which has been able to obtain great
deal of state business.
Gills affidavit, following closely up
on the publication of an article in the
Ashland News attacking the board OF
public affairs, has caused somewhat
of a sensation. Governor Cruce stated
that he had not yet read the affidavit
and declined to say whether or not he
will order an investigation.

This all-south conference is called

the Southern Commercial Secretaries
Association, the Business Mems Club

The purpose of the conference is to
voice an invitation to all citizens of
the United States to visit the south
and witness its advancement; for the
transition in recent years has been so
rapid that a large proportion of the
public have no adequate knowledge Of
conditions. 1t is also the purpose of
the conference to urge Pacific coast
tourists to traverse the south and use
the liberal stop-over privileges granted
by southern railroads.

SENATE ADOPTS CONFERENCE
REPORT ON WOOL BILL

Washington, d. c., Aug. 1.-THE
senate by a vote of SO to 28 last night
adopted the conference report on the
wool tariff revision bill already adopt
ed by the house. The bill will now
go to the White House for the expect
ed veto of President Taft.
The vote came after vigorous five
hours debate on the merits of the bill.
1t was a victory for the combined
democratic and insurgent republican
forces as against the regular republi.
cans. Only two progressive republi-
cans, Senators Borah of Idaho and
Borne of Oregon, voted against the
bill which places a fat ad valorem
duty of 20 per cent on raw wool and
correspondingly low duties on all man
ufactures.
1t is expected that the senate will
commence today on its last einght days
of session.

WOOL BILL AWAITS
PRESIDENTS VET
Cotton Tariff Revision Measure
Come to Vote With Democrats Sup.
porting LaFoIIette Schedule.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 17.-Th
cotton tariff revision bill will come
a vote in the senate with the DEM
Gratis pledged to accept the LaFollettI
iron and steel schedule as an ament
ment; the farmers free list bill prol
ably will be disposed of by the senat
today with all differences between tn
two houses adjusted and the wool bi
awaits the presidents veto. This
the tariff situation in congress.
The cotton-iron-steel program, agree
on in caucus of the democratic sens
tors yesterday, carries out part of tn 4
revision extension program of the Pre-
gressive republican senators, who's
powerful alliance with the democrat
has swept tariff legislation through
congress at this session. Neither thI
free-list or cotton bill is expected I'd
involve much debate in view of thl
program.
The decision of the democratic SEM
atorial caucus was reported after Repl
resentative Underwood, chairman oil
the ways and means committee, and
other house democrats, had declared
that this senate extension of tariff re
vision would not be Objectionable to
them.
Mr.. Underwood announced that open
ing of the tariff program to these
schedules would undoubtedly extend
the present session for week or ten
days from now, at least, and that II
would result in his completing work
already well advanced on the iron and
steel an dother tariff measures.
The question of adjournment now
rests entirely with the senate" said
Democratic Leader Underwood last
night
"The ways and means committee has
been at work right along preparing {
revised tariff on iron and steel and ou
bill is about ready We can briny
it out next week if the senate decide
to go ahead with the program that ha
been outlined.
Democratic senators conferred witt
me and other democrats of the hous
yesterday. They asked if we woul
object to an iron and steel schedul
being added to the cotton bill as al
amendment. We have no objection
to such matter originating in tn
senate. OF course, it will not be ou
bill, but our bill will be ready shoul
the amended cotton bill come owe
from the senate The senate eader
also suggested amendments bearin
on the sugar and rubber schedules.
Mr.. Underwood also saw no leg;
objection to such tariff legislation orii
mating in the senate as an amen,
ment to the house bill The suprem
court, he pointed out, had passed O
that question in the income tax bi
which was made a corporation tax bi
by the senate. He acknowledged th;
going into much general revision woul
delay adjournment.

GILL SAYS FILE
LIBEL CHARGES
Would Compel Eugene Morris And
Lon Frame to Sign Complaints or
Resign From the Board.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 17.-In letter
to Governor Cruce yesterday, Eugene
Gill, who filed an affidavit with the
governor containing indirect charges
against the board of public affairs,
asks that Eugene Morris and Lon M.
Frame, two of the members of the
board, be required either to file Grim
inal libel proceedings against Gill or
resign from the board. Gill enclosed
with the letter two complaint forms
containing a charge of criminal libel
against himself and leaving blank only
the space for the signature of the
complainants and the county attorney.
The letter follows:
"Since you informed me this morn
ing that you did not propose to give
official cognizance to the affidavits
filed by myself with you last Monday,
but admitted that if the statements in

cuted for criminal libel, and stated,
using your own words, that Gems

prosecute you or resign have decid-
ed to take you up on your own propos.

envelope two complaints charging me
with criminal libel, believing that you

pei Morris and Frame either to sign
them or resign.

Gill, who is an Oklahoma City con
tractor and former newspaper man
has asked the governor to investigat
the charges filed by him involving tn
board of public affairs and the sc
called, oklahoma Brokerage con

ored in securing state contracts. II

SENATE AIMS BLOW At
MONETARY COMMISSION

Washington, D. c., Aug. 15.-The
national monetary commission, which
is headed by former Senator Nelson
w. Aldrich of Rhode Island, once the
republican leader of the senate, must
wind up its affairs by January 8, next,
if the house takes favorable action on
the resolution adopted by the senate
yesterday, limiting the commissions
life to that date.
The senate's action followed storm
of criticism that recently broke over
the commissions delay in making a
report, and its alleged extravaganza.
The senate adopted a substitute for
the Cummins resolution, which would
have terminated the commissions life
December 5.
The monetary commission thus far
has encountered little criticism in the
house but it is anticipated the senate
resolution will be called up for action
in the house before adjournment.
Members of the commission who also
are members Of the house, probably
will offer little opposition to the reso-
luton, believing that the commission
will be able to complete its work with
out embarrassment by the end of the
present year.

BOTH HOUSES IN ATTEMPT
TO PASS STATEHOOD BILL

Washington, d. c., Aug. 17.-State-
hood for Arizona and New Mexico now
hinges on the success today of a pro-
posed attempt of the senate and house
committees to frame Jointly a compro-
mise resolution approving the two con-
stitutions. New Mexico will become a
state at the end of the next session of
congress unless congress, meantime,
disapproves it's constitution, the pres
ident already having approved that
territory's constitution, but now of
Arizona's.
If the new resolution to supplant the
one vetoed by the president should be-
come law at this session, both Ari-
zona and New Mexico would be adj
mitted at once.
''The only advantage that New Mex
leo possibly can get under the propos.
ed resolution" said Chairman William
Alden Smith of the senate territories
committee last night, ''is a prompt ap-
proval by the present congress of the
constitution and immediate admission
instead of admission at the end of the
next regular session of congress, which
probably will be about June"
The situation is followed closely by
both democrats and republicans be
cause of the differing political condi
| tions in the two territories.

CADDO CITIZENS PREPARE
TO DRIVE NEGROES OUT

Oklahoma City, Aug. 17-That resi-
dents of Caddo are determined to drive
all negroes out of that town is made
plain in a letter to Governor Cruce
from a citizen of Caddo. A poster,
warning the negroes to leave before
1880 p. M, August 10, is enclosed in
the letter. The poster is signed "Kad-
Do-Klan" and the letter states that a
number of them have been printed and
posted about town. The threat is the
outcome of an assault and the fatal
shooting of Mrs. Reddum Campbell by
a negro near Durant week ago. The
negro was killed by posse and his
body burned by mob.

FIRST DAY DISAPPOINTMENT
At NEOSHO TOURNAMENT

Neosho, Mo, Aug. 1.-THE first day
of the third annual tournament of the
Neosho Tennis Club started at 8
O'Clock yesterday morning under the
shadow of probable Disappointment be-
cause of the failure of a number of
the stars who had entered to put in an
appearance. But the day ended in a
blaze of glory-decidedly the most
auspicious opening tournament day in
the clubs history. And from the form
displayed by number of the entrants
it is a certainty that the remaining
days of the meet will witness some of
the best tennis ever played on the
Neosho courts.
Glass was defined yesterday unmis-
takably. Among the visiting players,
the three who focused attention were
Payne and NUM- of Texarkana and
Bert Green of Harrison, Ark.
The Texarkana men had previous
ly appeared at Neosho and were known
as players of rarecalibre, but Greene
was something of a dark horse, at
least to the gallery, though among the
players the scintillating work he has
done in a number of Journeys in the
south and west had gained him recogni-
ton. He came all the way up to the
reputation that had preceded him.
