BANK DEPOSITS OF
PEN OFFICIALS TO
Be INVESTIGATED
officials Had Some interesting Priv
ileges-Record of TRUSTEES.

McAlester, Okla, Jan 17.-The SEN
atorial committee investigating peni-
tentiary affairs, has ordered its audi
tor to make a search of the books of
two local banking Institutions and
bring a transcript of all deposits made
by the state penitentiary. Warden
Dick, Deputy Warden Fry, Assistant
Deputy Warden Oates. R. E. Seaman
and II. L. Berry, for a period of TWO
years, and furnish same to the som-
mittee tonight.
The investigation today covered the
perquisites of officials, such as right
to buy goods on the states wholesale
rate, use of TRUSTEES for housework and
laundry and the making of clothing
at the prison tailor shop free of cost
except for materials.
Many former guards were examined
and testified that they believed they
were discharged because of their fail
ure to move near the penitentiary
either through buying houses in the
addition with which Warden Dick was
once connected or renting other houses
close by.
They testified that the feeling of
the guards was that they should buy
houses in the addition, although the
warden always said that they could
buy there or elsewhere, rent houses
or live in tents, so they lived within
easy reach in case Of emergency
The trusty system was briefly in
vestigated. Foreman Cook of the road
gang said that he had handled 237
TRUSTEES, and that he was short only
two men, one having four and the other
six months to serve.
Four cases Of drunkenness, one case
Of forgery, two cases of fighting and
one case of burglary by TRUSTEES since
the foundation of the prison have been
described by witnesses.
Senator Memminger of the commit
tee, was taken i'll today of fever and
las been excused from service. War
den Dick is still i'll and unable to at
ten the hearing.
The committee visited the prison
this afternoon to inspect conditions.

Senator Mcintosh stated beso9a the
bill was voted on in the senate that

clude another section which viii pro

purpose of the bill, primarily to stop
the abuse of appointiye state officers
running around over the state during
campaigns helping build political ma
chimes. Mr.. Smith won applause.
Mr.. Durant opposed the motion for
place on the calendar for the general
reason that he usually is against TAX

unfavorably, and for the specific rea-
son, he said, that he believed the bill
would interfere with a mans personal

differed from the majority report only
on rule 81, relative to the vote re.

Rule of Former Sessions.
The rule in former legislatures has
been, that a majority of the constitu-
tional membership might suspend; the
majority committee report changed
this and would have the rules sus-
pended only by two-thirds vote The
minority report by Mr.. Williams and
Mr.. Cordell would have followed the
old rule of suspension by majority
vote.
Lewis of kiowa, Welty of Oklahoma
and ]. Roy Williams spoke for sus-
pension by majority vote, and based
their arguments chiefly upon the prin-
ciple that the fundamental democratic
principle was, the majority shall
rule"
Speaker Maxey made the sole speech
IN reply, his first speech on the floor
and based his argument chiefly upon
the grounds that past sessions of the
legislature had indubitably proven
that the rule to allow a majority vote
to suspend the parliamentary statutes
of the house had never proven any
to good legislation, and
often had allowed very lax and de-
moralized work.

from attachment, it was referred back
to the committee of the whdle with the
request that formulation of a new blll
equalizing the exemption laws. Seha.
tor Horton urged that household gools
should be made subject to landlords
lien for rent. In the bill as proposed
by Senator Watrous, household goods
are made exempt from attachment.
Radical changes in the present initi-
ative and referendum law is proposed
in a bill introduced by Senator Rod

culation Of petitions and soliciting Of
signatures to initiated measures and
require the deposit of the petition with
the county clerk of each county where
persons desiring to sign such measures
would be required to go unsolicited

A bill to exempt from taxation notes

MIAMI MAN WINS
A BIG LAW SUIT
S. N. Maxwell Wins Suit For One
Auedmoo iuuelW VI ls9L9luI u3xlS
And $22,500 Damages.

Miami, Okla, Jan. 49, Referee Dem
ison of Vinita, to whom had been re-
ferred the case Of S. N. Maxwell VS..
the Miami Royalty company, filed his
report last Saturday, finding in favor
of Maxwell. The referees report
shows that Maxwell is entitled to
one-sixth interest in all of the hold
ings of the Miami Royalty company,
one of the largest mining companies
in the district, also damages to tho
amount of s22,500.
The history upon which this suit
was based is one of considerable In
terest and dates back to the days when
mineral was first discovered in tho
Miami district. In the early days it
seems that Maxwell had formed some
kind of co-partnership with the pres
ent owners OF the Miami Royalty com
pany for the purpose OF prospecting
and developing the mineral resources
of the district. AT that time most, n
not all OF the present owners Of the
company were men or moderate means
and it was hard to secure money with
which to prospect. So the story is told
that Maxwell sought work elsewhere
and sent his earnings back to the boys
to help carry on the prospecting work
In the meantime rich strikes we're
made and MaxwelPs partners secured
leases on practically all OF the land
in the district. They decided that In
order to carry on, the work 1t would be
best to organize a corporation which
they did, leaving Maxwell out. The
company fiourished like grass in
springtime and the four or five stock
holders were soon looked upon ais
men, and they we're. 1t has
been reported that the company's hold
ings are worth more than million dol
lars.
Over a year ago Maxwell brought
suit in the district court to recover
pro rata interest in the company's hold
iugs together with damages. The evi-.
dence was submitted to a referee with
the findings as stated above.
