OWEN AND HASKELL
WILL NOT DEBATE
Advocates Say That They Can Discern
No Good to Come From Candidates
Meeting on Stump.

Oklahoma City, aarch 2s.--The in
vitation extended BY former Governor
q n Haskell to United States Senator
Robert L. owen to participate in a
series OF joint debates dealing with is.
sues that vii arise in the senatorial
campaign fro mthe democratic side
q fthe race, had been. according to
local political gossip. anticipated for
several weeks, and the leaders began
tn brace themselves for a repetition Of
the Hask. FLYNN meetings of four
years ago. Interest in this phase Of
the senatorial race took a sudden fall
Yesterday. however. when the senator's
friends announced that he would pay
no attention the challenge. but would
follow the course already mapped out,
and speak to the people independently
Of the other candidate.
It was likewise announced that from
April Is to May Senator Owens time
will be taken up by the Owen clubs in
the larger cities, and as this time was
entirely dominated by the club organiz-
ations, they would not consent to an
other candidate coming in. Following
May /, and to run for the remainder
Of the primary campaign the precinct
clubs, in which Senator Owen has
been active in organizing. will conduct
tent meetings, at which only progress
sive democratic candidates are to be
presented. Senator Owen. of course,
will be the leader and thus far an
nounced Claude Weaver Of Oklahoma
City, candidate for congressman at
large on the democratic ticket, will be
presented. If Alfalfa Bill Murray Of
Tishomingo announces for congress-
man at large, which he has not yet
dome, he, too, will be one of the pre-
cinct club speakers.
See No Good in Debates.
Treated wholly from the Owen side
Of the question, his friends say, they
can discover no good to result from
joint meetings between the candidates
other than that which would usually
flow to the opposition political party.
It must be understood, they insist,
that the senator Is not without ability
to defend on every charge which the
Haskell forces have intimated would
be brought against him. and to show
that his term in Washington has been.
a faithful one.
Haskells outline in his challenge
charges the senator with lack of sin.
eerity, lack of democracy. and that
he has failed to serve the interest of
the common people. Stress is laid
upon the senator's social standing at
tle national capital. and to this Is
added the accusation that the senator
uses republican newspapers to pro-
mote criticism of him, while he HAS
kelll claims to speak for himself. and.
IN short, says that he wants the priv
llege Of saying to the senator's face
'ne things he has been saying in the
columns of the New State Tribune.
and circulars which he has issued.
Further claim is made BY Senator
Ovens friends that joint debates u.s.

NEW YORK. Nov. T.-Mrs. Sarah
Druckerman committed suicide yester-
day in her home. 2l2 East broadway.

Back Of that simple statement OF
seif-inficted death lies the story OF n
woman who could not bear to live IN
a home made lonely by the increasing
prosperity OF her husband. whose stead

He had hoped. they say. that ulti-

TO DIVIDE lob Of
wee PRESIDENT
Bacon and Gallinger Likely
to Occupy Sherman's
Chair.

The question Of what the Senate will
do about the selection Of President
pro tempore for the coming session Is
still unsettled, and promises to remain
80 indefinitely. The Indications are that
the only solution which can be found
will be the same one hit upon last ses-
sion during the illness Of the Vice
President. This is to give the honor
part Of the time to Senator Bacon and
part Of the time to Senator Gailinger.
Senator Bacon. under an arrange.
ment last session, will hold the place of
presiding officer until December l6
Then Senator Gallinger will be chosen
for a limited period. and ne and Sem
ator Bacon will divide the time between
then and March 4. unless permanent
President pro tempore can be chosen.
which is not considered likely.
Under this arrangement, Senators
Bacon and Gallinger would divide the
salary OF the Vice President for the
period of their service as presiding Of
hcers. The sum to be divided between
them would be $500.

CARNEGIE WEALTH
WILL Be LEFT FOR
CHARITABLE WORK
Iron Master Reserves Only
$25,OOO,OOO to Be Dis
l. posed of by Will.

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-Andrew Car
negie, in a statement Issued here. has
announced that all but 1000 Of his
fortune, which will be disposed Of under
his will, will be left to the Carnegie
Corporation. Of New York. which has
been made his residuary legatee. and
which will carry on his educational and
charitable work.
Mr.. Carnegie's statement likewise ex-
plains his reasons for planning to pen-
sion former Presidents Of the United
states, as he provided for recently
through the Carnegie Corporation.
His Gospel of Wealth"
In making his announcement, telling
how he had gone about putting his
gospel OF wealth" into practice, Mr..
Carnegie said:
II resolved to fulfil the requirements
Of the gospel Of wealth by transfer
Ing funds. and have done so. except that
have found It desirable to retain for
while personal distribution OF my
United States military telegraph corps
pensions and Pennsylvania railroad PEN
sions to Pittsburgh division men and
their widows. because my old boys
would dislike the change. and SO. no
doubt. would others upon my pension
fist.
ITO meet these payments and others
under my will S5.0OO.OOO Of bonds. upon
which the New York state tax has been
paid, have been reserved. But the New
York corporation has been made my
residuary legatee, and all surplus left
after meeting the provisions OF my will
goes to It.
Explains Presidential Pensions.
= am happy In getting all this of
my mind. It Is a gruesome business.
but fnd that this earth Is rapidly
becoming more and moro heavenly. so
many good men and women ! know
labor for others. Surely. Luther. Frank
lin. and their followers were right when
they held that service to man Is the
highest worship Of God"
In explaining his pension plan, Mr.
Carnaaie cited the cases Of three former
Presidents as affording justification
for the project. the announcement Of
which, he said. was making ihe de-
sired Impression His trustees and
himself were all hoping. he said. that
congress would meet the situation by
mot one OF us but will rejoice should
this be the result" he said. We were
very careful to provide that only In
case Congress failed to provide pensions
to former Presidents, the corporation
would stand ready to do so. 1t Is pror-
erly the province Of the nation to act.
We all feel that"
Cites Cleveland's Circumstances.
Mr.. Carnegie referred to a recently
published letter which dealt with the
circumstances Of Grover Clecvland after
his retirement from the Presidency.
II know about Mr.. Cleveland" said
Mr.. Carnegie In his statement. HE
told me of an offer ne had to serve as
director in an important institution
which would give him a salary. Find
ing that other directors had not saia-
ries, he declined the offer. saying his
name was not for sale"
Mr.. Carnegies other references were
to Presidents Lincoln and Grant, the
last named having been pressed for
funds even while he was yet in the
White House. the iron master declared.
while he quoted from a letter written
by Mrs Lincoln to show that Presi-
dent Lincoln's family was similarly EN-.
barrassed.
