civil and criminal prosecutions as n
result of the failure of the Farmers

bezzlement of former county judge
Josiah Davis and to take charge Of
all other cases that have or may be
filed against any official
That sensational development viii

scene Of the attorney general in per
son goes without saying. If all that
has been charged in the senate against
Creek county officials is true a cor
ruptness will be uncovered there that
Is hardly without a parallel in tho
state.
The Reasons.
The resolution adopted today sets
forth. as reasons why the attorney
general should go to Sapulpa, the fol
lowing facts:
None of the officers of the Farm.
ers and Merchants bank have been ar
rested. although five months had
elapsed since the bank was closed.
Former judge J. @. Davis was ar"
rested in 1912 on charge of en-
bezzlement but no effort has been
made to prosecute him in the courts
of Creek county.
The Wade S. Stanfield. judge OF tho
district court, was indebted to the +.

the time of its failure and no part Of
this has been paid.
One hundred bootlegging cases
have been dismissed where one con-
yiction has been had.
