SOCIALISTS WILL
CONTROL BOARD
They Suggest a "Deal" With Brewer
Elliott Democrats to Down
Russell.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 14.-That the
, socialists and the o. A. Brewer-J. C.
Elliott faction of the democratic party
Will control the agricultural institute
to be held in Saltwater, Okla. January
10, became almost a certainty Monday.
when the house rejected Senator
Campbell Russell's bill to wrest the
election of ten members of agricultural
board, from the institute and vest the
power Of election in the legislature.
Owing to the Saltwater institute con-
vening January Is, Senator Russell
hoped that with the passage of his
bill, carrying an emergency clause, he
could circumvent the Brewer-Elliott
forces regaining places on the board.
Senator Russell was considerably dis
comfited by the failure of the legisla-
ture to pass his bill, but appreciates
its failure to do so as much to a de-
sire to keep out of the recall fight
as TO its desire to keep the election OF
the board in the hands of the farmers.
The defeat of the proposed bill, was
directly due to the unfavorable report
made by the caucus, composed of farm
ers, who are members of the two
houses. Russell says he will carry the
fight to the floor OF the Saltwater meet
ing and there endeavor to change the
method of electing the board. Many
members of the two houses have ex-
pressed the intention of going to Still
water january IS, and watching pro-
ceedings. The Brewer-Elliott forces
say they have made no deal with the
socialists for the election of the ten.
members of the board, but the social
lists claim they will have at least six
of the members and as Russell and his
friends have openly antagonized the
socialists, the latter could not, with
their 2S delegates, control the insti-
tute which has n members. The Rus.
sell forces reason that IL the socialists
are to have any representation in the
board they have made a deal" with
the Brewer.Elliott forces.

GOVERNOR CRUCE
ON THE CARPET
Legislators Force Governor to Furnish
information About the River
Contracts.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 14.-Sayins
that he had repeatedly heard the
charge OF graft" by certain Oklahoma
City attorneys, in connection with the
state contracts with the Builders Sand
and Gravel company Representative
w. L. Curtis, of Sallisaw, Sequoyah
county, Monday had passed with unani.
nous consent, resolution calling up.
on the governor and the school land de-
partment to furnish the house with all
information in their possession relat-
ing to the contracts.
The Builders Sand and Gravel com.
pany obtained valuable contracts with
the state, granting them the right to
remove sand and gravel from the river
beds Of Oklahoma. This company was
represented by the legal firm of Stuart,
Cruce and Bell. Considerable dispute
arose as to who owned the gravel and
as to the states right to enter into con-
tracts to sell the gravel to the Build
ers Sand and Gravel company. Gov
ernor Lee Cruce contended that the
state, under existing laws, had the
right to make the contracts with the
company represented by the law firm
of which his brother, A. c. Cruce. was
a member.
Owing to the oklahoma code" or
dered printed without having been
published, while the special session
was in session last month. one senator
on the floor suggested that possibly
It's publication had been held up while

ion of the sand and gravel" law as

nit to the house all information on the |
subject, is not known.

LEGISLATIVE WORK
At OKLAHOMA CITY
Abolition of Fire MarshaPs Office
Asked in Senator SorrelPs
Measure.

Oklahoma City, Jan. l4.-Because
the bills that were on the calendar for
third reading had not been printed and
placed on the desks of the senators so
they could be given close consideration
the senate had to adjourn after a short
session Monday afternoon without
transacting much business. Arrange.
mentsc, it was stated, have been com.
pleted to have the bills printed and
placed in the senator's desks and no
further delay Of the work of the solons
on account of imprinted bills is ex.
pected
Some of the senators favored going
ahead with the regular order, but a
motion to suspend the rules and take
up for final consideration some bills
which were considered of minor impor.
tance was lost by vote of 10 to II.
Senator Mcintosh made a special re.
quest for consideration of his bill No.
81 which proposes to confer authority
on the corporation commission to ad-
Just all difficulties growing out of re-
bate for public service, but some of
the senators were of the opinion that
1t should be given more consideration
and like the other measures it went
over until later. The corporation com
mission, it was stated, now has in its
possession several thousand dollars
that has been obtained from public
service corporations and is without au.
thority to determine who shall receive
it. The purpose of Senator McIntoshs
bill is to give the commission the right
to determine who is entitled to the re-
fund without having to take the differ
ent cases into court for adjustment.
Senator Joe B. Thompson of Pauls
Valley, served notice that on the next
legislative day he will move to have
all the new employees of the
senate who were added under the mo-
ton Of Senator Roddie which was ad-
opted last week. When the proposition
frst was proposed, Senator Thompson
vigorously opposed the addition of any
more employees and the consequential
Increase in expense to the state and |
has signified his determination to con-
linue his fight to that end. Senator
Thompson was not present when the
notion creating the new places was
adopted

LON FRAME IS
SURE A SLAYER
Which Ever Way the Report is Made
He'll Still Hold Office.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 14.-That Lon
NJ. Frame, as chairman of the state
board of affairs, will continue in Office
no matter what report is made by the
legal advisory committee, as to whether
a bare majority or a majority of all
senators was necessary to confirm his
appointment, dawned upon the sena-
tors Monday, when intimations reached
the members that the advisory commit
tee in a majority report would say "a
majority of all senators was neces-
sary to confirm and that a minority
report of the advisory committee would
say only a bare majority of votes was
necessary to confirm.
Frame received bare majority of
two votes, confirming his appointment
and the senate contended that this was
equivalent to a rejection, owing to his
failure to receive a majority of "all
senate votes" there being four sena-
tors absent at the time of voting.
Monday the senators were startled
when the light broke in on them, that
IL Frame could still muster his q
votes against 10 with any senator abb
sent, the minority report would be ac-
cepted by bare margin declaring "a
majority of all senators was not neces.
sary to coafirm."

THE REAL SIMPLE LIFE.

Ultra Fashionable society in wash

augural ball with the t~urkey-trot, pos
sibiiities, We're cut out OF the inauEu-
ration. The people in the country ap-
proved with remarkable enthusiasm.
And now they have another shock
coming, regarding which the Rich
mond Nirginian says:
More and more PT~csident-clect
Wilson and his family are falling un-
der the displeasure OF social Wash
i!tston.
From the time when he taboOed

sion building ok the expense Of the
country ard to the gain of Washing
ton n.oney-grabbt~S 10 the present.
Mr.. Wilson has been eyed askance b.
the fashionable of the national CAPT
al. The elimination of the inaugural
ball was OF no great to The
socially elect, as they 90 not risk their
title to exclusiveness by appearing at
that q~uadrcnnial event, anyway and
it was the business mel Of Wash
ington, who having put up their
money, hated to see taken from them

disSruntled, nevertheless, fearful Of
its failure. Its members rightly ar
gued that a man who would veto any
kind Of ball would not be much given
10 patronizinS social AUCTIONS.
From time to time his words and
actions increased their uneasiness and
now their fears arc confirmed by the
entrance Of Mrs. Wilson into the
ring. The wife Of the president-to-be
hOrrifeS society circles by letting it
be known that she does not intend to
spend more than the price Of two
thousand Inner on her dresses. One
thousand dollars on her dresses. Ono
to go to the enrichment Of the drex-
makers and ,nilliners Of the city OF
magnificent prices. And the howls are
coming. absurd says this social
leader. and 'prepOStcrous'' says that
one. That one thousand dollars can
and does maintain in decency in
Vulnerable families and that there arc
thousands Of wOmen who do not spend
that sun on clothes in the course OF
four and five years and dress respecta-
bly,, does not make any difference. The
Importance of what those outside their
