silly a further general discussion or

REFUSED BAIL FOR
THE 'N0WATA EDITOR
JUDGE CITED CRUCIFIXION OF
CHRIST IN HANDING DOWN
HIS OPINION.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, July 10.
The application for bail of II. o. JEFF
fries, editor of the Nowata Advertiser,
who is charged with the murder of
Mrs. Irene Goheen at Nowata on the
night Of April s. was denied today by
the criminal court Of appeals in an
opinion by Presiding Judge Henry NJ.
Furman.
Jeffries' attorneys asked for bail on
the grounds that most of the evidence
at the preliminary hearing was cir
cumstantial. but the court held that
in cases depending on circumstantial
evidence where the circumstances are
not only consistent with the guilt but
inconsistentsAwith the innocence, such
evidence might outweigh direct evil
dence
In his opinion, Judge Furman points
to Christs crucifixion as an example
of wrong conviction by direct evil
dence. The opinion is a strong plea
for the acceptance of circumstantial
evidence.

LEANS TO CITY OWNERSHIP.
Hayor Jost Looks at the Gas Qucs-
ton with Buying Eyes.

'lulbf boNt iOphS ut tilt huS RNtS-
tlon with Buying Eyes.
Mayor Jost is leaning toward mu-
nlcipal ownership of public UTILITIES.
The mayor will ask the legislature
this winter to submit a constitutional
amendment exempting public utility
purchase bonds from the city's debt
making limit.
Mr.. Jost has not been in favor of
municipal ownership, is not sure that
he Is now, but
Public utility companies make con
tracts without the expectation Of liv-
ing up to them.
A city can't get fair contract and
a square deal unless it has both the
legal right and the financial ability
to own and operate the utility.
Therefore his advice is:>
To the gas consumer-Put in sup
ply of coal.
To the municipality-get the abili-
ty to own the gas plant.
Banker Friends Laugh at Him.
There you have the only means of
meeting the gas situation. And the
ability of the city to own the street
railway would settle that problem too
the mayor says.
The letter of the Kansas City Gas
company saying ii is going to have an
appraisal of its plant to be prepared
to have the courts fix a new rate for
artificial gas was discussed informal
ly by the mayor this morning-infor-
mally but with some feeling.
The issue In the gas problem be-
came slgnpost pointing to the street
railway situation and led the discus
sion into the byways of municipal
ownership. John Donnelly, ex-city
engineer and member of the fire and
water board. who is to help the city
administration investigate the gas
dition, was present
when I contend" the mayor said,
that the right to use the city's sweets
is the most valuable asset a public
service company has and makes the
city a partner in that utility, business
-men and bankers In this city who
have been and are good friends of
mine tell me ! talk like a school boy"
Won't Take Part in Gas Appraisal
The mayor said that If conditions
make 1t necessary the city will have
its own valuation made and may be in
a position to take over the gas plant
without waiting for the constitutional
amendment. IL already has a good
debt margin.
II the city had the legal power and
financial ability to take over any pub
lie utility the street railway and the
gas questions would be settled in 30
days.
The city will not participate with
the gas company in an apprasement
of the plant

cent interview with Eugene Mackey

WASHINGTON, July 10.-When the

The situation arose because Speak

tally clerk had erred in totaling his
figures, however, and a quorum had
not been present thus vitiating the
action of the house.
