SENATOR OWEN WALKED INTO
STATE SENATE CHAMBER
LO, AND BEHOLD.
favor A secret Session
VIII Consider Doolin and Riley i'm Ex-
ccutiyc Session; Jury Fee Bill
Arouscs House.
(BY j. A. McKEENER.)
(Staff Correspondent.)

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 23.-(Spe-
cial )-The appearance of United
States Senator Robert l.. owen in the
senate chamber this afternoon had a
strange effect upon a number Of sena-
tors. Just before the senator came
in the senate had declined by a vote
of 29 to l3 to go into executive ses-
sion to consider the appointments OF
John Il. Doolin as state game warden
and Ben f. Riley as secretary OF the
state election board. When Senator
owen appeared the senate took a 20
minute recess to receive the distin-
guished visitor. When they recon-
vened, a motion to reconsider the for
mer vote was carried and the senate
decided to go into executive session
by vote of "a to 20.
Long Debate Promised.
II is probable that vote on the
confirmation Of the governors ap-
pointees will not be reached before
late tomorrow as the debate is sure
to be long. There is majority re-
port on both men by the special COM
mittee oppointed at the recent spe-
cial session to investigate them and
every phase Of the matter will be
threShed out on the floor.
The debate on the question Of hold
ing a secret session aroused much
bitter feeling on both sides. Time
and again President Kendrlck called
members down for indulging In per-
sonalities BY voting on this appoint
ment In executive session II Is hoped
to obviate a repetition of the Frame
episode. When in executive session
no record is made of the vote, only
the result appearing and this would
prevent any court action in constituting
what kind of majority is necessary
to confirm.
To Probe Artcsian Wells
The senate committee on agrlcul-
ture is to conduct an investigation OF
the drilling of nine deep wells In the
Panhandle country by the board OF
agriculture in seeking for artesian
water. This was decided when res
olution by Russell was adopted to-
day. The resolution charged that the
board had accepted a bid of $5.25 per
foot for drilling the wells when a bid
Of s3.75 was offered them. The drill
ing of these wells occupied several
hours Of the senates time today when
Senator Barrett called up his bill re-
storing to the state treasury the t24.-
600 of the original appropriation OF
s45, 900 for the drilling of these wells
that remained unexpended. Senator
Barrett declared that no good had
been accomplished by the test wells
and 1t was useless to spend ony more
money. Many senators wanted infor-
nation as to whether the contract
had been carried out In good faith
and II was decided to postpone con-
sideration Of the bill until the inves.
tigation provided for was completed
1t was intimated during the debate
that another appropriation might be
asked for to drill the wells to 1000
feet, work having been stopped n,
300 feet on the deepest Of the wells
drilled. Senator Roddie served no.
tice on the senate that he had op-
posed the appropriation two years ago
and would filibuster against another
such bill.

Delavan, Wis, June 2l.-This story
tells how boy redeemed the promise
made twenty-five years ago. At that
time a circus had come to Delavan,
Wis, there were clowns and acrobats,
and lions and tigers, and o, just every
thing. And II had gone without his
seeing II!
The boy left Delavan, but he prom
ised that some day he'd come back
and he'd give his friends such cir
Gus that they'd never forget; he'd buy
up the town of Delavan, and he'd show
the children all the clowns and funny
things they could look at in one day,
And there would be airships, too.
Edward Tilden, Chicago packer, to-
day fulfilled the promise he had made
thirty years ago when boy, Five
thousand men, women, and children
came 10 the circus and picnic he gave
on the shores OF Delavan lake.
The guests began to arrive at day
break. Timid children came hand in
hand, farmers came in from neighbor-
towns bringing their iocks. At 10
o'clock the guests had all arrived and
shook hands with Mr.. and Mrs. Til
den. The grove was parked with
1000 autos and buggies.
Then, while everybody held their
breath, Jimmy Ward shot away up in
10 the air in a Curtiss biplane and
stayed there for twenty minutes, and
the picnic was on. There were games
for the children and prizes for the
winners.
There was band OF twenty pieces,

LABOR TROUBLES

Work on the county hospital was
stopped when the Building Construc.
lions Employers association ordered
a lockout Of workmen. One thousand
of the men out will return to work II
the contractor obeys the county board.
This action was practically assured
following the Intervention Of the
county commissioners.
The matter was brought before the
county board In letter from the
union men and an effort on the part
Of the contractors to secure an ex.
tension OF time in which to complete
the hospital was made. Simon O'Don.
nell, president of the Building Trades
council, represented the men, and
John Griffiths. whose Arm holds the
contract for the hospital, represented
the employers.
There il no strike at the county
hospital" said President O'Donnell.
1t Is an entirely different proposition
from a strike. We are here to ask
you to resume the work by enforcing
your contract with the builders. The
employers should be big and broad
enough to allow the work to 60 on
when the health and welfare Of the
citizens depend upon the speedy COM
pletion of this work."
There has been strike on the
hospital for six weeks on the part OF
pipe coverers," answered Mr.. Griffiths,
"and this has held up the entire con-
struction. II Is an outrage for them
to hold up the inside work like this
and block the whole business"
You can put In your pipe covers
any time," answered Mr.. O'Donnell.
Commissioner Maloney presented q
resolution ordering the resumption
Of work as quickly as possible" which
was passed.
Mayor Harrison in a letter to the
employers ordered them not to permit
any labor troubles TO interfere with
the construction Of the Indiana stree,
bridge.
He notified the association that its
act constituted an abandonment OF
contract. His letter says:
81 am informed that recently, on
order of your association, work on
the Indiana street bridge across the
Chicago river under contract with the
Strobel Steel Construction company
was discontinued. There being nc
grievance against the city nor con
tention Of any character between II
and any OF it's employees, such an act
constitutes an abandonment OF con
tract.
I'm the present controversy the con
struction of bridges of very great
value and importance TO the public
Is being interfered with, and ! would
request that such action be taken az
will Immediately exempt all public
work from interference by your
body"
