MAYOR ALSO RAPS
|. THE GRAND JURY
NOT THE PART or MEMBERS TO
OFFER CRITICISMS.
RECORDS were ODTAINABLE
Virtually Corroboratcs Statements
Made by Judge IIouston-Rcport
10 Attorney General.

Mayor l.. j. Martin, who has just
returned from attending to business
which called him out of Tulsa for
the past several days followed up
the criticism OF the report Of the re-
Gently dissolved grand jury offered
by Judge Chauncey A. Houston, of
the Municipal Court on Friday af-
ternoon Judge Houston had charac-
terized as improper and false that
part of the report wherein it was
stated that the jury had found there
had been licensing OF The illegal
sale Of liquor through a system Of
fines.
"As take IT," said Mayor Martin
yesterday, the duty Of Il grand
jury Is to investigatn conditions and
then II there Is enough evidence to
make case, return indictments. !
don't know why a grand jury should
take the the liberty to critclse public
officials. If the law was found to
have been violated, there certainly
Is no remedy in merely stating that
in the future these city officials
should discontinue these Violations
Beyond the statement that the
grand jury went out Of It's way IN
trying to impress Judge Poe that he
was wrong in charging the jury that
they should investigate the prize
fights, which had been held In Tulsa
during the past few months, which
It did by reporting that IT found there
had not been any prize fighting In
Tulsa, the mayors remarks were
virtually corroborative of what Judge
Houston had said Mayor Martin
declared that an examination Of the
Police Court records by the jury
would have shown concluslvely that
there had never been any licensing
OF law violations I'm the municipal
court. He also stated that the mem
bers OF the jury could have found
out the owners Of the buildings In
which joints are operating, or have
operated by calling on the county
register Of deeds.
Other members Of the city's Off
cial family take similar views on the
question,
1t was rumored yesterday that a
copy Of the report Of the grand jury
had been sent to Attorney General
West, but no one could he found
who would state positively that such
action had been done, or what would
result If such proved true.

WANT THE MONEY.
Two Veterans of Crawford County
War After Governor

II. c. Ericsson and T. E. Armstrong,
both of whom have fought and bIed
and died in the war on the Cherokee
and Crawford county 1ointists, are
clamoring for their pay from the gov
ernor's contingent fund, and today
threaten to bring suit against his ex-
celIency unless their bills receive his
official o. K. The first bills presented
by these two special officers were paid
from the governors contingent fund,
but the second installment has been
held up. The governor does not think
the state had value received for serv-
ices itemized in the second bills, hence
his reluctance to pay these sleuths.
The special officers claim that there
is due some $50 apiece. besides a
months salary at SO per day to two
men hired by them to help get evi-
dence. Ericsson declares that he was
authorized to employ these men and
that he did so and now they are hold
ing him responsible for their pay.
They threaten to sue him If any suits
are filed in this case, the governor will
be a party to a suit for pay for services

okee lid campaigns.

JAPAN IS INVITED.
Taft Wants Her to Join in General Ar
bitration Movement.

Washington, Aug. THAT President
Tafts reference Saturday night to the
.desirability of a gene eral arbitration
treaty between America aud Japan was
not spontaneous, but a carefully pre-
pared declaration with a distinct pur-
pose in view was established today by
an inquiry into the history Of the ar
bitration negotiations during the past
year.
Long before the treaties between
had approached their final form, the
Secretary Knox the purpose and scope
of the new departure in international
relations. He did not, 1owever, take
advantage of the offer of the secretary
to be furnished with a copy of the
American proposition in the broad
terms embodied in the draft originally
handed to the British and French gov
ernment. So the information in the
possession of the Japanese governm ent
has been meager and Inadequate to a
proper understanding of this important
subject
Probably a realization of that fact
by President Taft led him to deliver
the invitation to Japan &c join in the
arbitration pact. 1t is now reasonably
certain that the Japan governm ent for
the first time made aware Of the SEN
timent in favor of unlimited arbitration
of international disputes, will be
moved to make some response, espe-
cially if the United States senate
should act quickly and favorably on
the pending treaties.

A SPECIAL SESSION.
Representatives in Northwest Ask
That One Be Called.

At the meeting Of the representatives
of the northwest counties held IN Colby
last week resolutions were passed urg-
ing the governor to call a special ses-
sion of the legislature in order that an
emergency law might ns Dassed grant
ing to these counties special authority
to loan money to the farmers with
which to buy seed wheat for fall SOW
ing. The wheat crop was a total fail
ure in these counties this year. The
following is the test of the resolutions:
I'VE the members of the legislature
assembled at Colby, do respectfully re-
quest and urge you to call a special
session of the Kansas legislature at
once to enact a law enabling the coun-
ties of our state to extend to its citi-
zens assistance in the procurement of
crop seed.
I'VE find that in this part of the
state, where wheat is a principal crop,
this years widespread drouth has caus-
ed complete crop Failure Thousands
of farmers are unable to buy seed or
borrow money with which to buy it.
Each county is able to take care of
its own condition. All we need is some
law whereby the respective counties
may be authorized to use their own
funds by loaning them to its citizens
or in some other proper way assist
them to procure a reasonable amount
of seed. This will preserve to each coun-
ty large snare OF us pOpuldllOH, winch
it will otherwise lose.
If you call a special session we
pledge ourselves to devote our entire
efforts exclusively to rae consideration
of emergency legislation and to the
use of strictest economy of both time
and money"
