GRANITE PRISON
A HE'LL HOLE
INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE DE.
MAND SUMMARY DISMISSAL OF
OFFICERS.

Oklahoma City, April 16.-Declar-
ing that the historian of 100 years
hence would express wonder that
such place as the Granite reform
atory ever existed, the Maxey inves-
tisating committee Wednesday af-
ternoon submitted a report to the
house of representatives and demand
ed the summary dismissal of Clyde
Reed and John Jerry Hackett, ward
en- and assistant warden, respect-
lively, of the institution.
I've find this institution a dis
grace to the state" says the COM
mittee, and a BLACK Hole of Cal
cutta, as compared to an ordinary
leformatory or penitentiary."
Partial blame for the shocking con-
ditions disclosed, was placed by the
committee on the board of prison
control, which was severely CEN
sured for its failure to correct the
evils or even to keep in touch with
the actual state of affairs in the in
stitution. The committee referred in
caustic words to the unexplained
neglect OF duty and Indifference" of
the board of control, of which Gov
ernor Cruce, Attorney General West
and President Bryan of the state
board OF agriculture are members. |
Conditions Dirty
The committee found that the
sleeping apartments at Granite were
dirty and even filthy and were per-
mitted TO remain in such uncleanly
and unsanitary condition to the ex-

rired in Oklahoma City Wednesda'
morning to fight the confirmation of
Hester by the senate. 1t is said tha'
Senator Roddie and a number Ct
other senators also are making siren

tion OF Hester. c C'ose Observers Of
political affairs say that Hester VIII

secures confirmation of his appoint
ment.
Scott Glen and Hester have belong
ed to opposing factions in state school
affairs and it is said that at Least
twice Hester has administered n
good drubbing to Glen in school poll
tics. For this reason and others II
is said Glen does not entertain l.
warm personal affection for Hester.
Hester has been county superin-
tendent of schools in Rogers county
since statehood. He stands high in
school circles in his own county ana
under his administration consoli1a
ted schools have been established

activity some of TIN republican mem

The governor sent the names OF
the two new appointe S on the board
to the senate late Tuesday afternoon
The membership Of the board will be
complete if these two men are con-

stated today that he did not recon-
mend nor oppose the appointment Of
the two men and that he hoped that
all the relations between himself and
all the men appointed by tn govern
or on the new board would be har-
monious. Mr.. Wilson stated that as
soon as the legislature adiourns and
it can be determined what the ap-
preparation for each state institution
are, a meeting of ths new board of
education will be called to elect
teachers and heads of the institu-
tions.
This year for the first time the
new civil service rule will b. gin to
operate, providing the new board
does not repeal it. The new rule was
adopted by the old board of educa
tion and provides that after teachers
have served two years with satisfac-
tion their positions are considered
permanent and they will not have to
become candidates for reelection a
number of teachers in the various in
stitutions vii fall in this class this
year and will not have to be candi-

April is the month for me, Finest

all the year and the reasons very
clear, for, of all the months there
are on the blessed calendar, not
another one is there so much like
my Daphne fair.
First of these resemblances, April
most uncertain is. You can't tell
by April skies just what in the
future lies; you can't reason from
today what tomorrow brings your
way-and dear Daphne is the same,
roguishly uncertain dame!
April smiles with smiles so sweet it
nigh takes you off your fest; then
moment later loom clouds COM
peling in the gloom; and where
smiles dispelled your fears falls an
endless stock of tears-just like

ting JOY and woe.
comes along a sunny hour making
life fragrant bower, and you dance
and sing with the very joy OF
Spring; and ere night the Spring
is lost and there comes a chilling
frost-just like Daphne's whimsy
gaze limiting Spring and wintry
days.
Yes, indeed, these April times fill
my soul with joyous rhymes. Love
them? You can bet | do, with
love that's stanch and true, just
because they chance to be wayward
