MAY PULL THROUGH
Whsyne's History OF Brokerage Cosn-
pany-Howard Shows Savings.

Oklahoma City, Jan 3.-1t was de-
cidedly the board of affairs rcund,
using sporting term, at the sena-
torial committee investigation Thurs
ltday.
John Il. Whayne of Ada, who as the
lhead of the Oklahoma Brokerage com
'pany was accused to Governor Cruce
! last year and before the committee
lately Of undue relations with the
board of affairs exOnerated himself
and the board OF affairs from any col
lusion by straightforward and I'M
hesitating story which was not shaken
in the slightest by oross4eXamination
and which made strong nmpression
upon the committee
On top OF this, Secretary L. b. How
ard OF the board of affairs presented
to the committee "a formal summary Of
the savings the board had effected Tor
the state since March, 1911, the tet9l
being estimated at $271,S72.30 Tie
summarized total was based upon the
actual savings made upon 1856 specific
claims, with comparison with the
total number of requisi1ions, 7sgZ9,
passed by the board.
The favorable testimony brought ont
Thursday is believed to have material
ly increased Chairman Len NJ. Frame
chances of final confirmation by the
senate.
Division Chance Reduced.
At the same time, the probabilities
of a division in the committee itself
over that part OF is report relative to
Mr.. Frame are believed to have been
reduced; as it was stated by one I'm
authority Thursday might, after the
days work had been concluded, that
at least five of the seven senators
are now agreed ON verdict favorable
to Mr. Frame. There is time. of course,
for the committee to change its mind,
of for the introduction Of new mat
ters damaging to Mr.. Frames hopes,
but it is believed that the committee
has about finished with the board of
affairs.
The committee practically has con
Gluded its examination of she game
warden's Office also, and may start
Friday upon the affairs of the office OF
Secretary Ben W. Riley of the state
election board. Witnesses from Texas
county, from which come some of the
charges against Mr.. Riley, came to
Oklahoma City Friday. So far as is
known, the only charges against Mr..
Riley arise from official matters at
certain elections.
The statement was made Thursday
night also, that the appointment of
John B. Doolin as game warden would
be recommended by at least a ma
iority Of the senate committee and
possibly by unanimous report,
Mr.. Doolin has made it plain to the
committee, by repeated statements in
his testimony" said the relator that
he intends very shortly severing his
connections with the Office anyhow,
and even if the committee were in
clined to censure Mr.. Doolin for his
policies in office, which a majority is
not so inclined to do, the senate would
hardly refuse to confirm him, in my
opinion"

JEFF DAVIS
IS DEAD
Picturesque United States Senator
Dies of ApopIexy Little After
Midnight.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 3.-United
States Senator jeff Davis died at his
home in Little Rock at 12;S5 this
morning of apoplexy.
About midnight Senator Davis cali
ed his son and said that he was feel
ing badly. The son called physician
and remained at his fathers bedside,
AS the physician entered the door the
senator fcll back and expired
Senator Davis had complained OF
feeling i'll early in the evening. The
family physician, however, said that
his condition was not serious. How
ever, the senator, still complaining,
retired early. He had apparently
been sleeping soundly up to the time
he called for his son
Senator Davis returned home from
Washington for the holidays appar-
emily in good health. He was about on
the streets as usual during the day.
During the last political campaign
in September there was general com
ment on the fact that he did not use
the fiery political methods that char
acterized his earlier campaigns.
He is susprived by widow and
seven children. The oldest son, Wal
lace, age "a, has been associated with
the senator in his law Office His
eldest daughter, Miss Bessie, has acted
as his private secretary. His other
children, jamie, Jeff, Jr., Ina, Lucille
and Lewis are students in local
schools. Senator Davis aged mother
who is S4 years old still lives at Rus
sellville. The senator was twice mar
ried, the second time about a wear
ago.

GORDON PROVES
MASTER OF DEAN
Bart Gordon Wins in Fourth of Sched-
uled Fifteen Round Bout--WiII
Match Some Good Men.

Bart Gordon was the victor in the
scheduled fifteen round bout with
Ernie Dean OF Kansas City at the
Grand last night. The go ended in the
fourth round when by a series of hard
bodg blows Dean was forced to the
mat and his manager stopped the fight
and Gordon was announced as the win,
ner. The contest while it lasted was
one of the best that has ever been
staged here and the fans We're sorely
disappointed that Dean was unable to
go long9r. While Gordon was the win
ner, it was easily seen that he was in
poor condition and he deserves a great
deal of credit for the quick time in
which he mastered his opponent He
has had but few days training, and,
considering his work in this bout, it
lis believed that by few weeks good
faithful work he can prove himself the
superior of any fighter of his weight.

There was one preliminary to last

Washington, Jan 3.-The sudden
death of Senator jeff Davis, of Ar
Kansas, came as distinct shock to
his friends in the capital this morn
ing.
The senator left Washington Deeem-
ber 13, to spend the Christmas holi-
days at home and at tnat time ap-
peared in the best of spirits. He had
not been in good health for some time,
although his condition did not ocea-
sion his friends much alarm. On one
or two occasions, his friends say, he
had suffered from attacks of dizzi.

tacks he invariably made light of

Divided according to the candidates.
there are four speakersfip factions,
and there are signs of these factions
pairing to an extent That is, Maxey
and Crawford supporters are to ne
found fraternizing much more with
one another than with Smith or VIII
fiams men; while Smith and Williams
are found TO be with some mutual In
terests also
Even for the last month there has
been much talk of agreements" be
tween Williams and Smith, or between
Maxey and Crawford, and of one man
being but a stalking horse for the
other.
However, if present indications can
be relied upon at all, each of the four
candidates is showing little willing
ness to withdraw in favor of another, |
and each is making a hard and honest
fight for himself
Muskoeee Backing Maxey.
Aluskogee is said to be coming over
in. force to back the candidacy of j. |
II. Maxey, not for anything that Mus |
kogee wants, but for the honor of |
having Muskogee man for speaker |
Several rumors are going around of
oYertures to be made by Muskogee to
Oklahoma City to drop the political
rivalry between the two towns, with |
the stipulation that if Oklahoma City |
supports Maxey, or at least does not |
fight him for speaker, then Muskogee |
will either support, or at least not
fight, respectively, an appropriation to
build state capitol.
These are not understood to be Mr..
Maxey's sentiments, as he has made
no statement to the point but come
from prominent Muskogeeans who
were here Thursday.
The talk of fifth candidate for the
speakership rather declined Thursday,
probably from the fear that the candi-
dates who are now in the field might,
in the event another man came out,
rest from their own fight long enough
to unite and annihilate the newcomers
and then resume their pres
ent contest with oen another In fact,
such was the threat generally made
by lieutenants of some of the candi-
lates Thursday
