DIARY OF FATHER TIME

Robert Burns, the poet, was at one
time an excise officer. Smuggling
was then common throughout Scot
land. both in the shape of brewing
and of selling beer and whisky with
out license. Burns took a serious
yet humane view of his duty. To the
regular smuggler he was most severe,
to the country folk, farmers or cot
tiers who sometimes transgressed he
tempered justice with mercy.
At the village of Thornhill, on fair
day, he was seen to call at. the door
of a poor woman who for the day was
doing. little Illicit business on her
own account. A nod and a move
ment of the forefnger brought the
woman to the doorway. Kate, are
you mad? Don't you know that the
supervisor and viii be In upon you
in forty minutes" Burns at once dis
appeared among the crowd and the
poor woman was saved a heavy fine.

Grand JURY STARTS
PROBE OF OFFICERS
INNESTIG ATING BODY WILL GO
ONE STEP FURTHER THAN
THE LEGISLATURE.
(BY " \. MKEENER.)
(Staff Correspondent)

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 17.-(Spe-
cial.) THE Oklahoma county grand
Jury, called by the three district
Judges here was today charged by
District Judge Clark to investigate the
alleged crooliedness in state offices
This probe is designed to cover the
criminal phases Of the charges OF
graft that have been made, as the leg
islative committee cannot start Grim
inal action.
It was currently rumored today that
]. II. STOPPER. who is under investiga-
ton by the house was about to resign
but this could not be verified.
In charging the grand jury, Judge
Clark said;
Charges rejecting upon the official
integrity of the public servants Of this
state have recently been given wide
publicity and investigations into the
truth or falsity of such charges are
now being made by the state legisla-
ture and proceedings have been instl-
tutcd having for their object the re-
moval from offices of alleged officials
which is the only punishment that
body can innict. The progress thus
far made would indicate that possibly
proceedings of similar nature may
be instituted against other officials
and upon due consideration Of this
matter by the three judges of this dis
trict ii was agreed to call a grand
Jury in order that persons having
knOwledg or Information of ohicia
jrruption may have the opportunity
RE compelled to disclose that infor.
Nn not only for the purpose Of re.
from Office. but for such Other

the senate discussed the banking bill.
drawn by the senate committee on
banks and banking as an amendment
to the guaranty law. At the end Of
the two hours. the first of the / 8 sec
tions Of the bill, which was the only
one taken up had become so confused
as TO make 1t necessary to refer that
section to Il special committee for re-
drafting.
The banking bill in the senate is
similar in provision to that that the
house is working on and unless it Is
passed, state bankers declare that an
state banks will be forced out Of cX-
istencc.
Senator Burford raised the obicc-
tion to section one Of the bill on con-
stitutional grounds that it did not pro-
vide for the bank commissioner to be

IMPEACHMENT TRIAL BEGUN

Mix up in Evidence of Sccre-
tary +. b. Howard.
BY j. A. MkEENER
(Staff Correspondent

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 17.-(Spe-
cial)-The first impeachment trial in
the history of Oklahoma was gotten
underway this afternoon. when Giles
Farris, state printer, went to trial
before the senate sitting as an i'm
peachment court on charges prefer
red against him by the house of rep
resentatives. After opening state
ments from the house board of man
ayers and attorneys for Farris, the
taking of evidence began and did
not cease until late tonight.
1t was a dramatic scene, with pack
ed galleries that witnessed the open
ing Of the trial at 1870 this afternoon.
Representative Pinkham opened the
trial, in outlining what the house
managers expected to prove. He said
they would prove in connection with
the Red Book forgerles and the illeg-
al warrants issued to the Leader Pub
fishing company that vouchers and
receipts had been dated and signed
on forms that had not been printed
until six months after the date they
were supposed 10 have been signed.
Attorney Glddings, who represented
Farris, outlined the defense, saying
the endorsement on the Red Book
warrants was not in Farris' hand
writing. The article of Impeachment
charging Harris with forging state
warrants to the amount Of $500 was
first taken up.
Claims Are Missing.
r. c. Cain. an employee Of the
state auditors office, the first wit
ness. testified about the book records
of the Red Book warrants and declar-
ed the claims were missing and that
he did not know where they were.
Walter Caldwell and Carl Hammer,
cashiers of local banks, told of Far
ris cashing the warrants that he is
charged with forging.
william Stryker editor Of tre Tul-
sa Democrat who printed tie Rcd
Book, said he never filed any calm
for S2.5OO. never endorsed the three
warrants and never received the
money. He denied that the endorse
ment on the warrants was in his writ
ing.
Handwriting Testimony.
J. c. Sherman. OF Wichita who has
made a 5 year study Of handwriting
and who testified as an expert In the
Oregon land fraud cases said that he
thought that the endorsement "W. NJ.
s." on the back Of the three war
rants was In Farris' handwriting. He
was subjected to a hard cross exam
ination by Giddlngs who brought out
that he was receiving $50 a day and
expenses for testifying. Sherman was
still on the stand whsn recess was
taken until o'clock.
A writ Of attachment was issued
