SENATE KNOWS WHEN
WIDOW IS WIDOW

Little Rock, March 22-The Sen
etc has decided an interesting gene
logical question, in granting PEN
sion to Mrs. NJ. J. Wakefield of
Franklin county. Mrs Wakefield
was the widow of Confederate SOL
der, and later married Wakefield,
who died Senator Fletcher asked
that she be granted the pension as
the widow of the soldier. and Rodg-
ers, of Benton, contended that she
was not his widow hut the widow OF
Wakefield, and therefore not entitled
to pension Senator Holland said
he favored the bill not because OF
any law on the subject, but because
they had the right to grsnt it. Sem
ator Covington called attention to
the fact that the statute provides
peniions for widows who ~remain
unmarried The bill passed.

MAY ROBSON TO
GIVE MATINEE HERE

This play has been endorsed by ex-
perienced critics everywhere as one
of the best comedies and Miss Rob-
son as the best exponent of eccen-
trio old women in naturalness and
repose moreover, one Of the few act
resses who are really funny. It is
certainly surprise for anyone who
has never seen Aunt Mary and follows
her adventures in New York.
The narration of the play develops
a number Of intensely funny situa-
lions and tho lines are bright with
humor without detracting from the
theme Or confusing by a forced eli
max. Miss Robson makes one laugh
with the very spirit of laughter and
We are glad Of It
During her engagement at Terry's
theater, London, the most conserva-

for two weeks, but it was extended
into over four months the best evi-
dence of success. Miss Robson will
appear at the Elks theater for a
matinee and night on Saturday, March
25.
The play will be presented with the
same company as in London.

TO KILL BILL
In Fiery Speech Had Bill

DIED ON TIE TABLE
Measure Would Have Added State
Auditor and Treasurer to Present
Board Of Three Members.

Little Rock, Ark, March 22.-After
a day of wrangling, the Touse Tues
day afternoon summarily defeated the
Williams bill, passed by the Senate
adding the state auditor and the
state treasurer to the state board of
election commissioners. The first
fight was made to get it back on
second reading for amendment, so
that it could be easily throttled
Mr. Kerwin closed the argument in
favor of this motion, and asserted
that there was politics at the bot
tom of it that would have a bearing
on ensuing campaigns for SENATOR
and Governor. Mr.. Hurst offered an
amendment to add all the statutory
officers. the adjutant general and the
the board.
An amendment by Russell of Car
roll, the Republican leader, that the
minority party he given representa-
ton on the Board. was rejected
Hardage, in the midst of great con-
fusion that reigned made motion
that the amendment be tabled which
prevailed, The announcement was
then made that the tabling of the
amendment carried the bill with It.
Mr.. Newton then made an effort to
reconsider the vote by which, the
amendment was tabled, that the bill
might be voted on upon its merits,
but the chair ruled that it required
majority of two thirds to take the
bill from the table, and its friends
could not muster that number. And
so it died.
Charging that the bill materially
affects the gubernatorial situation in
that it passed unamended it would
change the chances of certain can
didates for that high office. Mn
Kerwin made a fiery speech.

HIP POCKET CRUSADE.
kentuckian Urges Legislature Against
Hip Pockets in Trousers.

Lexington, Ky, March 2-Captain
r. H. Fitzhugh, former Confederate
soldier, distinguished civil engineer
and prominent citizen of Lexington,
strongly urges legislation forbidding
hip pockets being constructed in the
trousers of residents of this state
stating that thereby large number
of the homicides which disgrace Ken.
lucky will be effectually prevented.
Captain Fitzhugh says that of the
three most common uses to which
the hip pocket is put two are damn.
able and the other bad. He names
whiskey, pistols and pocketbooks as
most commonly carried in the rear
trousers pocket. Valuables carried in
that pocket, he urges, are most al
ways lost.

lVAl Af CtAAtA+AD+Atf'-''
Asserting that the normal schools
Of oklahoma are at present little
more than high schools, and that
there is ample room in them for all
students who wish to attend if they
were held strictly TO their proper
province as normal schools, Cover
nor Crice Thursday sent a message
10 Tie senate announcing his veto
OF ,he senate bill by McMechan and
ra'u-e. arprop-iating 100000 for a
new building FOR the Central State
normal school al Edmond, and $751;
600 for its equipment
lie also inyimated very strongly
that the other normals would re-
ceiye similar treatment.
Immediately following the receipt
Of the message, in which the sen
..te concuwed by a unanimous vote,
a new bin was introduced by Sena-
tors McMechan and Colville and Rep
resentatiyes Boen, Wright, Deford
and Peebly, appropriating $4,000 for
a building at Edmond. 1t Is under
stood that the governor has agreed
I'm his message that the school al
Edmond has the largest enrolment
Of the normal schools, and that it
was the school that was entitled TO
an appropriation IL any of them are.
The message follows
ITO the Senate, Oklahoma City Okla.
Gentlemen: ! am herewith return
ing to you without my approval, Sen
ate Bill No 26 by Senators Colv,le
and McMechin. | have studied the
conditions that surround this appro-
priatlon as carefully as | know how,
and the necessities therefor, and have
come to the conclusion that the ap-
propriation should not be made at
this time.
Large Enrolment
Il will state that my investiga-
ton has thoroughly convinced me
that Edmond normal has a larger en-
rollment than any other normal
school in the state, and that the
appropriations that have been made
for buildings at that school are small
er than appropriations made for any
other Of the Oklahoma state nor
mails and II there could be justifi'
cation for any additional appropri'
alton for buildings for our normal
schoo' s, it would certainly be for
the Edmond normal
"The records disclose the fact that
during the scholastic year ending

GS5 students. OF this number those
enrolled in the normal department ag'
gregated S24. or less than fifty per
cent of the total enrolment. During

the present scholastic year, there
nave been enrolled to the 27th day
Of February, 1911, l,4O6 students, IA
Of whom are in the normal depart
nent. or less than fifty-one per cent.
There are enrolled in this school dur
ing this year in sub-normal and
training departments, 692 students.
"It will be seen from these fig
ures that more than One-half OF
the students attending this normal
during the past two years are doing
grade work. The people of this state
must decide whether or not we are
TO have normal schools in Oklahoma,
or whether those schools are to con-
tinue to be largely local high schools.
II takes more than handsome school
buildings to make normal schools,
and the fact that they are desig-
mated as normal schools does not
make them such. Oklahoma boasts
the fact that she now has in opera
tion six normal schools. The facts
are that we have not single school
in this state exclusively doing real
normal work
Il believe the best interests Of all
the schools OF this state demand that
our schools should be required to do
the work they were by legislation de-
signed to do. The responsibility
along this line will rest large.y with
The legislators of Oklahoml. AS long
as appropriations are made for build
ings. the demand for students to fill
those buildings is going to be felt,
and in procuring students there will
be no effort made TO restrict the
attendance to persons who do real
normal school work.
Not Fair to People.
"It is not fair to the people of
the state TO appropriate money that
belongs TO all the people to help out
special localities If the norma!
schools of Oklahoma would eliminate
the students that are doing grade
work and are not really entitled to
enter normal school, and would
make the localities where these stu
dents live provide for their needs in
the graded schools, as is made the
duty of other sections of the state,
there would be found to be ample
room in all these normal schools,
in my opinion, to meet all pressing
needs of those institutions at this
time. 1t is useless for me to refei
to the well known-fact that the build
ing fund of this state is fast becom'
ing depleted and that there are hun
dreds of thousands of dollars owing
to the state, that have been incurred
under contracts for the erection of
buildings provided for by the form
