ROBINSON TURNS REiNS OF GOV. EMINENT OVER TO BROTHER
 iN-LAW AND LEAVES.
ISSUES PARDON TO WIS. RHEA
Writes Out His Own Commission as United States Senator and After
 Performing Ceremony, Quits Governors Office.

Little Rock, Ark, Marca S.--Gover- nor Joe. T. Robinson this afternoon commuEd to life Imprisonment the death sentence of W. $. Rhea, and performed the marriage ceremony that united Miss Bertha Merriweath- CT, of Memphis, with his former sec retary, Walter C. Hendricks. waom the governor had two days ago ap- pointed circuit judge of Pulaski county.
 The governor then wrote his own commission as United States senator and sent his resignation as governor to his brother-in-law Wm. X. Oldham president of the state senate, who thus became acting governor.
 Senator Robinson then hurried to his home to make preparations Tor gc- ing to Washington.
 The case of Rhea has attracted wide attention. The young man was manager of a plantation in i)esha county and was convicted of loading a mob of negroes that killed colsta- ble Vital Archard when the latter tried to arrest a negro on Rnaa s plantation. Former Gov. Donaghey ieiuseu to lntSiNcHe, anu as d ldSe resort wealthy relatives of ishea ap- pealed the case to the United States Supreme court where it is still pend ing. This action taken TWO days be- fore the date set for Rhea's execution saved his life.
 The governor was taken ay sur prise when his former secretary. MT. Hendricks, came to him just as ae was preparing to leave the capitol and asked him to perform the mar riage ceremony, but said he was glad to make this his last act as gove-nor. The legislature recently created a | third division of the .ou.asld counsy circuit count and Gov. Robinson i'm mediately appointed his secretary as judge.

JURY DISAGREES IN DARR0W CASE
EIGHT WOULD CONVICT BUT FOUR HELD OUT TO AcouiT
 CHICAGO ATTORNEY.

Los Angeles, March S.-Clarence $ Darrow's second trial on jury brib ing charge, ended today in dis agreement of the jury Eight jurors were for conviction; four held oui for acquittal Darrow immediately asked a new trial and District At torney John D. Fredericks said he would have one. Judge w. M. Con ley, who presided, set March 31 as the date for the beginning of the retrial.
 Failure of the jury to agree was received with emotion by defense and prosecution. Darrow himself, ner yous under the strain of waiting ;ts and half hours for the jury to re port, seemed to regard the disagree' ment as a relief. He even smiled when making brief arguments in ia vor of his demand for new trial.
 The prosecution, admittedly, was dfsa ppointad M J. Ford, assistant district attorney. declared he would not participate in a re-trial of ths case as he felt that conviction was impossible, for the failure in the trial just closed.
 Incidentally, Ford made known his intention to resign but said this de cision was not due to the outcome of the Darrow trial
 Darrow's friends flocked about him, grasped his hands, sympathized with him over the failure to obtain an acquittaal and expressed the belief that his third trial would end as he desired.
 Darrow's second trial occupied IS days-a little more than half the time consumed by the first, which ended in an acquittal after the jur- ors had deliberated 33 minutes.
 In both cases the allegations were substantially the same except that in the one. George N. Lockwood, pres pective juror was alleged to have been bribed, and in the second Robert Bain, sworn juror in the McNam- ara cause was the recipient of money paid by Bert H. Franklin, who in his confession alleged he was acting up- on the direction of Darrow.

 WHOLLY UNEXPECTED.

Police Superintendent Says Many Biz Events overtaxed the Capacity of the District Police
 Department

Washington, March S.-In a stuffy IoVercroWded committee room the leaders of the suffrage parade that was halted by disorder in the streets here Monday told the senate sub. committee investigating the affair today or their efforts to secure the proper protection. Maj. Richard Syl- Nestef, superintendent of police. re- lated ais side of the story, declaring her belief he had placed a force on Fennsylvania avenue that was ample to handle the crowd and protect the parade
 Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the committee which arranged for the aa- rade, told the committee that for oy. CT month she and her associates had
 bombarded" Maj. Sylvester and the war department in their efforts to in- sure the proper protection of the pa- Trade.
 The district authorities would re- fer us to the war department and the war department would tell us that If there was any trouble, the famlt would be with the district authorities sle said
 When the snffragists were urging Maj Sylvester to grant them a per. init to parade in Pennsylvania ave hue Miss Paul declared the superin. tendent of police endeavored to dis suade them by saving that the huge inauguration crowds would be disord- erly and that he had too few men at
 his disposal to afford them prope.
 protection. After the permit finalSs I was granted, Miss Paul said, she re minded Maj. Sylvester or these s,ase
 mente and urged him to require aio from the war department. This he did not do.
 He told me that the riff-raff of the south would be aere for inauguration on account of the democratic victory when he opposed our marching on March 5; but after we had secured the permit and were working to in sure proper protection, he just said:
 'Oh, that will be all right said Miss Paul.
 Mrs. s. c. Moller, Miss Elsie Hill Of NoTwalk, Conn, and Mrs. Anna Jenness Miller Of Washington also told of their efforts to secure the policing of the line of march by the federal troops. Former Secretary or War Stimson had explained earlier in the day that he had declined to order cavalry out because the law did not give him the authority to do so ex- cept in emergencies. He had, he said, placed a troop of cavalry at the dis position of the local authoritiest. Jos. IS. Carroll. who was in charge of the work of halting the trolley cars along ilhe line of March and H. C. Pallam, a newspaper correspondent told of in cidents in the streets.
 In reply to questions Mai Sylves- ter told the committee that prior to the time of the parade he did not think that the aid Of troops was ne- cessary.
 T believed the force I had placed on the avenue was sufficient, he said.
 Then, if the avenue was not prop erly cleared by o'clock on the day of the parade, in your judgment, the men and officers on duty there did not do their duty?p asked Chairman Combs.

Something About the Origin Of the
Crop and What Il Means as a
Feed Crop for Farmers

As a result of this years ex-
pertinent with the crop there is a
demand now for feed, and many
are heard to ask the question.
What is Feterita, and where did
it come from?" The Oklahoma
Farmer and Stockman, a farm
and stock journal, published in
Oklahoma City. in recent issue,
devoted considerable space to the
new crop, in a well written article
by DIR. Woodson of the Oklahoma
agricultural department. DR..
Woodson says:
So much discussion has
recently been raised concerning
the value of the new grain sor-
ghum, feterita, that the demon
stration farm department of the
state board of agriculture has
thought best to issue the follow
ing information concerning 1t.
Feterita is grain sorghum
from British Egyptian Sudan, in
the region of Khartum. 1t is a
variety of durra, different from
the white durra often called
Jerusalem corn in having erect
heads. black glumes or hulls in
stead of greenisb white, nearly
smooth instead of very hairy and
seeds slightly flattened instead of
much fattened, as in the case of
pure white durra.
Two or three different lots of
this durra have been obtained
from the region named. One of
these has been bred by the United
States government as a grain
producing variety and is called
by them Sudan durra. Another
almost identical one has been
selected by the Office of the for
age crop Investigations as a for
age variety ahd has been dis
tributed by them under the name
of 'feterita.
This department has decided
to recommend feterita IN prefer
ence to either dwarf milo or black
hull kafiir, where these can be
grown. AS stated. it is earlier
than the common varieties OF
black.hull kaffir. which has been
heretofore grown in Oklahoma
and neighboring states.
When it was first introduced
in the state, many irresponsible
stories were circulated concern
ing the plant and some news
papers and farm journals. not
having correct information about
it, printed INSTRUMENTATION that
has left the impression on the
minds of many people that feter-
rita is like some other much

and by others who have given it
a thorough trial, all tend to prove
that it is not only of practical
value, but has many points of
superiority over both of the
more familiar gram sorghums
milo and kaffir. We have re-
ceived news from every section
of Oklahoma that feterita has
withstood the drouth of the past
thirty days and in practically
every instance has matured
where kaffir and milo are COM
plete failures.
The feeding value of feterita
as a grain and forage crop is
equal in every way to katfir; we
believe it to be much better on
account of the grain being larger
and much softer than kaffir and
can be fed to good advantage
without being ground. which is
necessary to obtain fair results
with kaffir. OF course, anv grain
is better ground than to be fed
whole.
This department has prepared
a bulletin entitled The Value OF
Feterita as a Drouth- Resistant
Grain Sorghum, which will
furnish all information concern
ing this grain, including plant
ing, harvesting and its value as
ensilage. etc, which will be
mailed on request. "

DISAPPOINTED LAND OWNERS
Many Who Let Land Forfeit on
Account Of Price Get a Raise
by Appraisers

Under the new land laws that
went into effect in July under
which those lands forfeited for
non payment of lease, many Of
the former owners were disap.
ointed last week when the ap-
praisers, who recently visited
those sections where lands had
been forfeited. made their re-
port and the out come was
raise in prices instead of a re-
dcution.
The Seminole Sentinel SAYS:
The Gaines county lands
which, a few weeks ago were
forfeited under the law passed
by the legislature last spring,
have been re-appraised, notices
having been received here
yesterday. On an average the
lands are appraised at somewhere
between 81. so and So. 90 per acre.
Land south of town was classified
at about SIS. 90 per acre and north
and northwest at about 81. 90 per
acre. In a few instances the
land was raised above the price
it was originally purchased from
the state.
According to the decisions of
the committee appointed to re-
appraise this land, the much
sought-for relief asked for our
people was not needed as the re-
duction of the land as a whole
was significant. While there is
considerable disappointment
among those affected by the
appraisement, our people feel
that the committee was sincere
in their judgment of the land
but under, present conditions
their sights were a little
nigh.
