SATURDAY ENDS
GOVERNORS TINE
Among important Bills Remaining in
Cruces Hands Are the General And
Deficiency Appropriation.

Oklahoma City, Mar. Ex-Governor
Cruces time for signing bills will ex-
pire Saturday night, and all in his
hands at that time which are unsign-
ed will die without further action. I'm
der the provision which allows him
fifteen days after the adjournment of
the legislature to act upon bills passed
during the last five days of the ses-
sion, his time would expire on Sunday,
March 26, but as the signing of bills
on Sunday would probably be illegal,
Saturday is the real limit. No pro-
vision is made by the constitution for
excluding Sundays in figuring the fif-
teen days, as is done in many other
provisions of a similar nature.
Among the important bills still in
his hands are the general and defici-
ency appropriations bills, school land
sale bill, county assessor bill, state
tax commissioner bill, supreme court
commission BILL Muskogee court rail-
way hospital bill, employees expert
\ ence bill, bill for the joint use of street
railway tracks, bill giving the state
health department control over water
supply of cities, bills establishing
game propagation farms, reorganizr
ing the national guard and giving
, county superintendent authority to
name teachers for separate schools
and the joint resolution submitting a
constitutional amendment for state aid
to weak rural school districts.
The important appointments to be
made by the governor under bills al
ready approved are the six members
OF the state board of education and
a district judge in the twentieth dis
trict, while if all bills pending are ap-
proved he will also have to appoint a
state tax commissioner and county as
SCISSORS for every county in the state,
~although the assessors do not have to
be appointed until January 1, 1912.
A number of important appointments
under old laws are still to be made,
including the commissioner of health,
adiutant general, wardens of the peni-
tentiary and reformatory and the med
ical, dental, pharmacy and embalmers'
examining board.

Successor to old Vigilant
Committee is Making Good

Sutherland and County Attorney En-
cry picked up about 60 alleged law vio-
lators, among them being many wo-
men, and placed them in Jail. The
local Jail was soon overcrowded and
the Garfield county Jail was borrowed
for the occasion Many who escaped
arrest left town and strange quiet
prevails.
Among the places visited were the
establishments of very prominent cit
izens. The Fisher hotel, three-story
brick building, and one of the best in
western Oklahoma, was visited and
given the same notification. At one
place a woman faced the mob with a
revolver, but was seized by the sheriff
and serious trouble was arevted. The
Watonga Republican, edited by former
Governor Tom Ferguson, recently ap-
pointed as the republican member of
the state election board, came out this
week publishing a full list of places
visited, men who signed the bonds,
persons suspected, and created SEN
sation. It was noised around town
that former Sheriff Macarthur, the Off
Ger who hung Alf Hunter, who was
mentioned in one of the articles of the
newspaper as having been caught in
negro dive during the raids of the
officers, was going to "clean up" the
ex-governor. He went to the Republi
can Office Immediately after the news
paper appeared, but was met by the
ex-governor with a Winchester and the
thing subsidized
The Jail is packed with alleged boot
leggers, and the four passenger trains
which leave here daily are taking more
out of town TIL cleanup has beer
very effective and all suspects are
notified by the Law and Order League
that if they find it necessary to visi
them again, a rope will be brough
along. Excitement is at fever heat
and the probability is strong that un
less the bootleggers adbicate some o
them will be found hanging to tele
graph poles some morning.

Watonga, Okla, Mar. 24.-The old
time vigilance committee that once
freed western Oklahoma from cattle
thieves and left many a grim evidence
of their determination hanging to the
blackjack trees along the cattle trails,
now has a healthy successor in this
city, modelled on the same plan only
save for their object, the extermina-
ton of bootleggers. Since prohibition
went into effect in Oklahoma many of
the survivors of the old cattle days
remained here and bootlegging flour
ished like a green bay tree. Ever
since statehood officers have been un-
able to cope with the situation and a
practical reign of terror has existed.
Bootleggers have defied the officers,
and gambling has run wide open like
in the days of the border
The matter came to head the other
day and the sentiment which has been
smouldering leaped into flames, when
two alleged bootleggers, in attempting
to escape from the officers, ran over
the wife of a minister and came near
killing her. A monster mass meeting
was called, and that very night, after
an Intellectual attempt had been made
to lynch an alleged bootlegger an or
ganization known as the claw and
order League" was formed. Walter
Ferguson, local merchant and
Young man, was placed at the head OF
the organization, and a committee tC
formulate plans of procedure was
formed. One of the younger men, i'm
patient for results, whispered the
name "Klu Klux Klan," to inc commit
tee on organization and all plans fo
procedure were centered on immediate
and violent action. AS a great man!

DECLARES WAR MUST
STOP BEFORE MAY |

San Antonio, Tex, Mar. 24.-With
the new demand for six or seven thou
sand troops, the issuance of an order
by General Carter making provisions
for a sudden move, and statement
by DR.. c. F. Carcristi, one of the
dominant figures in the Mexican rev.
odlutionary junta, that the United
States would intervene in Mexico un-
less there was definite show of tran
guilty by May /, the recently dimin-
ished war cloud looks large.
DR.. Carcristi felt sure enough of his
facts to embody them in report to
Francisco |. Madero, the revolutionary
leader. who at the last report was
within 80 miles of the city of Chihua-
hua. DR.. Carcristi urged the insur-
recto chief to achieve a decisive vic
tory at all costs by May 1, for he wrote
that President Taft will not wait long
er than that for quiet to be restored.
The courier department for the Ma
dero camp departed from here yester-
day.
DR.. Carcristi, who is one of the di-
recting minds of the revolutionary
junta, is a lawyer. physician and a
world traveller, and probably the best
trained diplomatist The letter is not
an order, for Madero is the supreme
leader, but it is in the nature of a
report of the meaning of the mobiliza-
tion of American troops at Fort Sam
Houston.
Most of DR.. Carcristi's investigation
was done at Washington. Although
he has been on the grounds at El Paso
and is at present in this city. An
inkling of something unusual on foot
reached him sometime before the fam.
Gus Paris interview with Limantour
the Mexican minister of finance, and he
proceeded at once for Washington
In an interview yesterday he said:
"Of course, a complete federal tri
umph in Chihuahua, the restoration OF
commerce and other business like
wise, would avoid intervention, but
do know that President Taft is de
termined that order shall be restored
and that quickly, by one side or the
other in Mexico. with the alternative
of Intervention.
'In my report to Senior Madero,
pointed out the necessity of capturing
and holding the state of Chihuahua. II
this can be accomplished | am convinc'
ed the revoIutionists will be recogniz.
ed by the United States and other gov.
ernments.

more truly to say that he struggled
out of unconsciousness. dragging his
ego back by main will-power from
the deep oblivion of drugged slumber.
One by one his faculties fought their
way past the barrier, until he was
fully sentient, save that his memory
drowsed. His head was hot and heavy.
his eyes burned in their sockets like
balls of live charcoal, a dulled buzz
zing sounded in his ears, his very
heart felt sore and numb: he was as

the blackness of foreknown despair.

found himself fully clothed. He felt

She gave him the quick promise OF

She swept away from him, toward
the parapet. He took a single step
in pursuit and halted, following her
with a glance that was at once care
