GOVERNOR ASKS
FOR TESTIMONY
SENATE BODY HAS NOT BEEN
KEEPING THE GOVERNOR IN
FORMED.

Oklahoma City, March 10.-Today
president Pro TEN Kendrick laid
before the senate message from
the governor, bearing on legislative
Investigations. The governor an
nounced that his information was
coming from newspaper reports, and
that at least a portion of the reports
made by the committees reflected
upon some of his appointees.
"Thus far no information has reach
ed ME directly from the legislature
that such Investigations have been
authorized, conducted or reported up
on" the message said. Since the
accused officials are appointees of
the governor and he must deal direct
ly with the matter Of removal, fair
ness to the public and business to
them demands that the governor be
furnished with all information before
he takes official action"
The governor concluded with re-
quest that he be furnished copy Of
the testimony and reports to the end,
he said, of being in a position to pro-
ceed intellgently and fairly.

HAL MULDROW
OF T|SHOM|NCO
HAS UNANIMOUS ENDORSEMENT
FOR CoMMISS SSIONER TO FIVE
CIVILIZED TRIBES.

Washington, d. c., March 10
Practically every member of the Ok
lahoma delegation in congress has in
dorsed the candidacy of II. l.. Mu(-
drow of Tishomingo for the position
of commissioner to the Five Civilized
Tribes which position is now held by
J. George Wright.
Some doubt attaches to the success
of Muldrow's candidacy because of the
fact that the place was swept under
the civil service by a blanket order
of republican president AS fight
is to be waged against the placing
Cf about 500 employees of the union
agency and in the office of the COM
missioner of the Five Civilized Tribes
under the civil service without com
petitive examination, the order af-
fecting the chief job in the Indian
service of the state may be broken
down.
Members of delegation in congress
believe that Wright, who was appoint
ed to the place from Illinois, will step
down when he sees that concerted
effort will be made to get his offic-
ial scalp with some promise of sue
cess.

WORKING FOR $IOO
CAPITA PAYMENTS
CARTER BELIEVES CHlCKA-
SAWS AND CHOCTAWS WILL
GET APPROPRIATION.

Washington, March 1t.-1nasmuch
as the general Indian appropriation
bill failed of passage at the last
session of congress, another effort
will be made by Oklahoma congress
men to obtain a provision in the
measure which will grant a $1OO
per capita payment to the Choctaw
and Chickasaw Indians.
At the recent session the per cap
ita payment was provided for in the
measure but was stricken out in the
senate on a point of order. Repre-
sentative Garter, who was one OF
the conferees on the measure, en-
deavored to have the provision in
serted again while the hill was in
conference but as the senate already
had stricken it out and probably
would have done so again, other con-
ferees refused to accept the plan.
Owing to the sentiment which has

of the Mississippi Choctaws who are
seeking to share in the tribal funds
of the Indians it is going to be a
difficult matter for the Oklahoma con-
gressmen to gain a per capita pay
ment for the Choctaws and Chicka.
saws until the Mississippi issue has
been definitely settled.
1t is believed that Secretary OF In
terror Lane will deal with the ques
tion in a more tolerant manner than
did Secretary Fisher, although Fisher
indicated that he was opposed to the
claims on the Mississippi Choctaws.
Fisher, however, seemed to be in
no haste to settle the matter, which
is of vital interest to thousands of
Oklahoma Indians.
The members of the Oklahoma del
egation in congress will not let up
one whit in their battle to secure
the per capita payment, but as the
item as attached to a regular appro-
priation bill is always subject to
point of order the final result is pure
ly problematicN The Indian appro-
priation bill probably will be acted
on shortly after the opening Of the
extra session.

This expression is used entirely IN
"A sense that appeals to the inner
man of the nation and not necessarily
to those who look for stereotypad
methods of government. 1t became
known that President Wilson and his
family are averse to the use OF liz

ing liquors will have no place in the
white house during the next four
years unless the presidents views
undergo a sharp change.
Secretary of State Bryan, as Is
well known, has been a prohibition
advocate for many years. On one
occasion Mr.. Bryan would have made
it national issue and it was due
to his efforts that the prohibition
legislation in Nebraska was put into
effect.
1t IS well known that Speaker
Clark is a teetotaller and has been
for many years. The fact that "A

that there will be less drinking IN
