Tonight counsel for the defendants
expressed themselves as well satisfied

the millionaires. Nine jurors have
been tentatively passed by both sides
and before court adjourned today it
was apparent that the twelve would
be selected possibly by Tuesday of
next week.

measuring prospective jurors are alb

GOVERNOR WILLING TO OFFER
REWARD FOR CAPTURE BUT
FINDS NO AUTHORITY.

Oklahoma City, July 11.-Governor
Lee Cruce has agreed to offer re-
ward for the apprehension of w. r.
McBrine, charged with the fraudulent
issue of warrants while chief clerk
in the state auditors office, if he can
find any authority for such action but
SO far has been unable to find any law
that would authorize the Offering OF q
reward in this case. there seems to
be only two sections of the Oklahoma
statutes dealing with the subject of
rewards. One of them authorizes the
Offering of rewards in cases of muir
der and arson, and the other in cases
Of horse and mule stealing. That
seems to me the limit of authority.
Examination has also been made of
the rewards offered under Governor
Haskell's administration and it was
found that all of them came within
those two classes.
1t is understood, however. that on
account of the assurances offered by
other state officers interested in the
case that a reward would be offered.
Pinkerton detectives have already
busted themselves with the case and
are trying to get on McBrines trail.

CONFERENCE WITH GOVERNOR
REGARDING PAYMENTS.

Governor Lee Cruce within the next
two or three days, is being worked
out by the Capitol Building company

$1,000 What that proposition is was
not given out by members OF the
company. hut it is understood to be
a plan by which the state officials
will be satisfied, withou, the actual
payment OF the money al his time.
The fact that the construction OF
the capitol building is no under way

nected with it have been Incurred by
the state, in the opinion of Judge
T.. =. Burwell, does away with that

the first payments on July /, 1911.
Judge Burwell represented the senate
committee of the legislature as its
attorney in drawing up the contract,
and he worded that section himself.
The proposition regarding the pay
ment of the $l,000000 was thoroughly
discussed in every detail when the
contract was drawn up" he said Mon
day, "and it was understood that un-
less the erection of the capitol BALD
ing had started, no payments were
due on July /, 1911. The clause so
providing was put into the contract
for that especial purpose, to prevent
the state calling for money faster
than the building operations pro

payments TO be due oftener than So

form to place the proposition beyond

That clause of the contract which
provides for the monthly payments
reads as follows;

on that date, but it is understood
that the party of the first part shall
