SOLONs IN CLOVER
At OKLAHOMA CITY

Oklahoma City, Jan. 25.-In a blunt
and direct way the house of represen.
tatives decided that Governor Cruce
was decidedly mistaken. to say the
least, when he held up the ppblica-
tion of the Oklahoma code because of
a sand and gravel contract which COM
mon rumor says w. A. Iedbetter, A.
G. Cruce, brother of the governor, and
other Oklahoma City attorneys, alone,
would profit by.
BY vote of 62 to 2S the house sus-
tanned Speaker Maxey's motion to in
definitely postpone the bill by Repre-
sentative Pruett which proposed to
repeal that section of the code to
which Governor Cruce objected
Speaker as Leader.
Speaker Maxey led the fight on the
bill, and was assisted in a most de.
cided manner by Representatives Cur.
ry Of Tulsa, Yyand of Muskogee, Tee
hee OF Cherokee, Emanuel of Murray
(speaker pro tempore) and others.
And though the attack of the speaker
probably carried the most force, il
certainly carried no more fire than
the speeches of the other gentlemen.
From the beginning of the present
session, the question of the code has
been very sore one to the legislators,
as it has been to the lawyers of the
state for the last eighteen months.
The state has spent approximately
100000 to get the code, and then it
hasn't got it, and only Governor Cruce,
as he himself says, is responsible.

from Texas -Cimarron, on the grounds
that Roberts was defeated by heavy
vote and got the place through cleo
ton frauds and altered totals. The
senate investigating committee work
ing under direction of the special SEN
ate session went into the contest while
1t was investigating the record of Sec
retary Riley of the state election
board, and some remarkable tales of
CROOKED elections" in Texas and Cim-
arron were told by the witness exam
ined. As result, the house of repre-
sentatives is already taking sides, and
while it appears that majority be-
lieve that Mr.. ROBBERS is entitled to
the seat, a strong minority is inclined
to take different view and the pros
poets Of avoiding warm fight are
small.
The other contest, that OF Mr.. Ho-
gan (dem.) against Representative Ed
minister of Pawnee is not so likely
to stir up trouble.
In the meantime, in addition to these
special matters. 429 bills have been
Introduced into the house ct repre-
sentatives in the three weeks the ieg-
is lature has been in session and 241
in the senate, and in a majority of
these measures will come up in some
way, either in the committees or on
the floors of the respective bodies.

the good times that are coming their
way, but they are not blind enough to
mistake the motive that is behind it
all and laugh among themselves at the
futility of Oklahoma City's efforts to
buy votes with bribes Of social atten-
tions.

Divide on Time.

The only argument made by any
number of the senators in favor of
limiting the time of the house commit
tee to the session is that while the
house at large is having hot arguments
every day or SO as to when the in
vestigations should begin, six of the
chief state departments or officials un-
der fire have already been investigat-
ed and practically disposed of. BY the
rejection of Secretary Riley of the
state election board, they say. the
spring cleaning in that department is
done, and seem to think that the state
board of affairs is likewise disposed
of, whether Mr. Frame is out or not;
that Warden Dick of the penitentiary
has been SO thoroughly investigated,
it would be nonsense for the house
committee to do anything there; that
State Game Warden Doolin has been
heard and a verdict will be rendered
Tuesday; that by impeachment pro-
ceedings against State Auditor Leo
Meyer and Giles Farris, state printer,
those two departments have been elimi-
mated as future investigation" possi-
bilities, since anything further wrong
there would probably come out in the
Impeachment trial.
House leaders take some exception
to arguments that most of the clean
ing up has been done, and still urge
the necessity Of a general drag net
to thoroughly clean the political wat
ters. Furthermore, the insurance de-
partment has already been mentioned
on the floor of the house as one that
should be included in such investiga-
ton: while numerous resolutions di-
rected at Attorney General West are
yet to be acted on.

Finds Man With Bullet Lodged in Back
q. j. Mcbride spent Sunday in Big
Cabin and while there ran across a
man on one of the streets of that
place suffering from a bullet which
was lodged in his back. Mr.. Mcbride
brought the man to this city with him
yesterday afternoon and he was given
medical attention by the county physi-
clan. The bullet was extracted and
the man placed in the hospital ward
of the county pail to await investiga-
tion of the shooting. He said that he
was shot by policeman in ST. Louis
several days ago. The bullet had prob
ably been lodged in his body for three
or four days

Some Of the Sessions important SUBJ
iects Scheduled for consid-
Grafton.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 27-The fourth
week of the legislative session prom.
ises to be one of unusual interest.
The committee report recommending
impeachment proceedings against
State Auditor Leo Meyer and State
Printer Giles w. Farris will come UP
in the house of representatives Mon.
day, with likelihood of being imme-
diately approved and going to the SEN
ate at once for trial.

ton case of State Game Warden John
B. Doolin a special order for Tuesday,
The Muskogee fair bill is a special
order for the house of representatives
Tuesday when powerful effort win be
made to pass it.
A resolution to open the capitol
building question has already been pre-
pared for introduction in the house
Monday or Tuesday, to recommend
that the legislature accept the offer
ings OF Oklahoma City of GAO acres of
land and 100000 in cash to begin the
CAPITOL and bill to propose an ap-
preparation of $1,0O0O0O for the actual
building of the capitol is expected to
follow the resolutions adopted. So far
as the house of representatives is con-
cerned, but little opposition to the
capitol appropriation has yet been
found,
The house and senate have already
a conference committee at work trying
to adjust the difference between the
two bodies as to the time limit on the
general investigating committee auth
orized by concurrent resolution. The
senate seems inclined to be willing to
accede to the demand of the house
for as much time after the Legislative
session as the committee may need.
In the meantime, the senate peniten-
tiary investigating committee has about
finished it's work, and is expected to
report shortly.

on the code has reported out bill to
provide that the Harris-Day code
