JEFFER|ES MURDER
CASE POSTPONED
Attorneys for Defense File Motion for
Change Of Venue From Nowata
TO Rogers County.

Nowata, Okla, July lit was de-
cided Tuesday evening by District
Judge Tom l.. Brown and the attor-
!neys in the Jeffries case that no Grim
inal trials would come up at this term
of court. This means that H. o. JEFF
fries, charged with the murder of
Irene Goheen, and G. j.. Harkens,
charged with triple murder at Della
ware probably will not be tried until
the September term of district court.
The jury already selected was dis
missed.
In the Jeffries case Tuesday the de-
Tense submitted a motion for change
of venue from this to Rogers county.
The motion will be fought out next
Monday. The county attorney then pre-
sented his motion filed some weeks
ago for the disqualification of Judge
Brown to act in this case in which he
charged connivance with the defense.
The defense answered by denying
levery statement made in the motion
The question was left to the decision
of the Judge and the motion oyeuuIed.
The county attorney then served no
tice on the judge and attorneys for the
defense that he would present the mo-
tion before the court of criminal APP
peals at Oklahoma City next Saturday.
Lated in the afternoon Judge Brown
stated that he had not yet read the
motion and asked permission to file an
answer of his own to the motion. This
was done, County Attorney Thraves
then refused to have anything further
to do with this particular phase of the
case, contending himself merely with
the statement that already he had pre-
pared his petition for writ of man
damus which he will present to the
court OF criminal appeals. The county
attorney stands pat on his motion and
there will be somewhat of scrap be-
fore the whole thing is finally settled.

 Regardless of Party.

St. Louis, Jan. 26.-William Jen- nings Bryan became so absorbed in lis talk with former Gov. Joseph w. Folk, aspirant for the Democratic presidential nomination, that he missed his train here today.

 When MT. Bryan discovered he had missed his train, he went to a tall bring shop and removed his trousers for pressing. He sat trouserles: while a tailor placed the iron, and those who sought an interview were told MT. Bryan had pressing busi- ness.

PRESS AGENT WORK
 CAN AID AID GREATLY
Cities and Towns Throughout South west Will all Benefit From Es-
 tablishment of Press Bureaus.
(Industrial Record.)

As in years gone by, the Southwest is still held up before the world in scornful way by the recording of deeds of violence and inhumanity that takes place in this great section of the country and spreading the facts before the eyes of the world. The publication of such news acts as a constant menace to the development of this section in that it acts as an , , intimidating feature to hose who seek to make their homes in these parts.
 Going more fully into the matter it will be found that there is more or less disposition evidenced OH tAe part of the daily press to publish startling news of deaths and disasters regard- less of the territory from which they originate. Many Southwestern publ:- cations run statling news emanatins | from the Eastern section of the United | States and vice versa. Positive harm comes from the publication of this class of news from the Southwest Ill immigrants and needed industries get the wrong impre ssion, where on the other hand, industries and population will hardly flow from the Southwest to those sections.
 A solution is offered by the Oklaho- man, saying:
 "When a new railroad is built il this state (Oklahoma) the newspapers of the principal cities print para graph about the matter. When We start the construction of cracker factory to cost $250,O00, no notice whatever is taken of the enterprise. But if casualty takes place! if hu- man life is taken by a frenzied person who shoots these are heralded far and wide; they appear on the front pages of the big Eastern papers. Ma turally the readers of those papers are impressed by the instances which seem to be the most prominent. The there is quite as much or more crime in New York, Pennsylvania or Mass chusetts as there is in any Western state, the Eastern people cannot easi- ly be convinced of such truth.
 Hence, the time is not only oppoc- tune but it is imperative that press bureau be established to keep the state of Oklahoma in the right light. Non residents of the state are obtain ing wrong impression of Oklahoma They hear of the bad things in this state, which are few, but they don't have much chance to learn of the good things of the state, and these are many. Again there are lot of vl- cious and libelous stories being print ed in some of the metropolitan news papers about the state of Oklahoma and also about Oklahoma City. Soms of the shafts are directed at this city probably not for malicious purposes , but simply because the correspond ents need the money. Damaging sto- ries are sent out under date lines from other cities but that doesn't foo1 anyone, The thing to do is to star press bureau that shall have for its
 object a clearing of the atmospher4
 for the entire state The truth abou
 Oklahoma is good enough. But th5
 truth isn't getting sent broadcas,
 Shall we start the press bureau ol shall we sit idly by and see the char acter assassins prosper at so much z
 column?"
