TORY OVER THE GOV

PET MEASURE IS beaten
House by a Vote OF OF TO ~ Puts
Quictus on Plan TO Tax Build.
ing Enterprises.
(BY J. A. McKEENER.)
(Staff Correspondent,)

OKLAHOMA CITY. Jan. 24.-(Spe-
cial. .)-By a vote Of 62 to 28 the house
OF representatives today went on rec
ord against the sand and gravel
steal and gave direct slap at the
governor when they voted TO indefl-
nitely postpone consideration Of d bill
state the title to the beds Of all nav
igable streams. 1t was for the eK-
press purpose Of having the legisla-
ture pass this act that the governor
ordered work on the code held up
until the legislature could repeal the
law Of 1893 giving the title to the
beds Of navigable rivers to the ripa-
rian owners.
Speaker Maxey took the floor and
led the fight against the measure. In
speaking of his motion to indefinitely
postpone, he scored the governor for
holding up the code on account of this
bill.
Governor Imposed Upon
"I don't believe the governor held
up the code to allow a contract to be
made giving these men a monopoly
on the sand and gravel" he said.
But / am afraid these men imposed
upon the governor and urged him to
this action in order to benefit them
selves. Nothing that we can do, or
the governor can do will give the title
to the states. In the Oklahoma ter
ritory side Of the state under the act
of 1898, the men who settled on land
adjoining rivers are entitled to the
beds of these streams and on the
eastern side OF the state I think the
land belongs to the individuals who
selected allotments adjoining the
rivers.
why not now say to the people
of the state that we disapprove Of the
action of the governor in this mat
ter?"
Bank Burglary Bill.
Holding up as an example the rob-
berry OF the bank Of Mounds, Repre-
sentative Durant urged the immedi-
ate passage of senate bill No. rs, by
Barefoot and Barrett. making the
punishment for burglary by explo-
sives not less than 20 years nor more
than so. The bill which has already
passed the senate went through the
house without a dissenting vote.
The house worked industriously to-
day and number OF bills were passed
on final roll call and number passed
to engrossment. Among them were
the following:

HORSE-TRADER PARDONED.
Governor Says There Should BE No
Complaint if Parties Get Stung.

A man convicted Of getting the
better end of the bargain in horse
trade has been pardoned.
Frank Stone, white, convicted at
the fall (19i2) term of court for
Laurens county OH the charge Of OBJ
tanning goods under false pretenses,
and sentenced to pay fine Of $500
or serve 80 days on the public works,
has been declared a free man by the
Governor.
In. granting the pardon, Governor
Blease said: at seems that this par
ty and the prosecutor traded horses,
and that this is what brought about
the indictment. From the evidence
presented in the case, it shows that
the horse was supposed to have been
blind in one eye and partially blind
in the other. This was a defect
which could have been very easily
detected by both parties. There is no
excuse for a man saying that blind
horse has been put off on him unless
he was either blind or drunk at the
time, and there is no evidence to
show that the prosecutor was either.
Therefore, he should have been too
much ef4a man 10 complain, for the
only purpose people have for trading
horses Is to improve. If trades
with B, A expects to get the best Of
the bargain, or A would not trade
When B trades with A, he believes
he got the best of the bargain or he
would not have traded. Therefore,
when either one Of them gets stung,
there should be no complaint" The
case was appealed to the Supreme
Court, and a dissenting opinion was
written by Associate Justice Watts.

MILLIONS MUST BE COUNTED.
Small Loss Has Been Found i'm San
Francisco Mint.

San Francisco, Sept. 27.--A re-
count Of every sack Of silver dollars
stored in the United States mint here,
amounting to $61,395, 900, has been
ordered, according to II. w. H. Shan
ahan, superintendent of the mint, be-
cause Of the discovery Of thefts from
some Of the sacks. The loss thus far
revealed, the superintendent says,
amounts to but 81.
A statement from Mr.. Shanahan
says: "In weighing a sack Of dollars
coined in 1880, it was found too
heavy and was opened. There were
found in the sack~flve iron washers,
and there were only 996 coins, in
stead Of 900. Three sacks of dol
lars coined in 1881, 1886 and 1891,
respectively, were light in weight,
and there were only 900 dollars in
stead of 1000 in each sack. But
nothing had been substituted for the
missing coins"

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 27.-The SEN
tence of DR.. w. j. McNaughton, who
was to have been hanged October Sd
for the murder of Fred Flanders, to-
day was commuted to life imprison-
ment by Governor John NJ. Slaton.
In announcing his decision Cover

was all more or less circumstantial,
and that expert testimony by physi-
clans Of high standing, offered since
the trial, impressed upon him the
fallibility of human Judgment
Human life Is sacred" said Gov

highest function of the law, and the
Governor, an officer sworn to enforce
the law, should remember the sacred
ness Of life to the condemned crimi-
nal as well as to his victim
DR.. McNaughton was found guilty
Of poisoning Fred Flanders in Eman-
uel county, June 4, 1910, and was
sentenced to death at the October
term Of the Emanuel Superior Court.
Mrs. Matte Flanders, wife Of the
dead man, was indicted for compile
ity in the murder. During the illness
Of Flanders, and after his death, DR..
McNaughton, who lived at the Fland-
ers home, diagnosed the case as acute
nephritis. Experts who examined the
dead mans stomach declared that
their analysis. revealed the presence
Of poison. The indictments of DR..
McNaughton and Mrs. Flanders were
based on this testimony

Advanced Tuberculosis.

Bennettsville, Sept. 29.-Capt. w
7. Thrower, Of Cheraw, operates a
dairy and had quite a fine herd OF
Holstein milch cows. He noticed
that some Of them seemed to be dis
eased, and he requested an expert
from Clemson College to visit his
dairy and inspect his cows. The re-
suit of the investigation developed
that the cows had advanced and pro-.
nounce6 tuberculosis. Thirteen fine
animals were killed-11 milk COWSi
and two bulls. One of the COWS cost
him $3.50 and freight. The two
bulls were very fine, and each worth
$3.50. The loss to Capt. ThroWer is
very heavy, not less than $4,000,
while the State only pays him $29
