Homes for Guards.

When asked by Senator Thompson
about moving and fitting up homes
for guards with convict labor, Mr.
Dick went into considerable detail
He stated that Guards Hart and Cot
fee, who had been living over store,
came to him and asked him to help
arrange for a home. He said that
he looked around and found two
houses and having consulted as to
what they could be fitted up for
and the price of lots, told the men
that tie houses would stand them
at $1,000 and $500 apiece. He
said that he agreed to let them have
the buildings on easy payments and
that he borrowed $4,000 for the pur-
pose of putting them in shape. He
the work he would turn the collec-
tions over to the McAlester Real Es-
tate exchange, of which his SON in
law was a stockholder and let them
have whatever profit could be de-
rived from the transaction. He stat
cd that he went into the agreement
with the guards two months ago,
and that he had once been interested
in the McAlester Real Estate ex-
change, but that he had long since
sold his interests in the concern.

WARDEN DICK
TELLS COMMITTEE
ALL ABOUT THE $4,000 CHECK
ExLAlNs THE LAND DEAL AND
PRISON TRUSTY SYSTEM.
From The Oklahoman.)

That the $4,000 check given him
hy John VI. Wheeler of the Pauly
Jail company was a loan to help de-
fray the expenses of the primary
campaign of 1910 which resulted in
the election of Governor Cruce, was
the testimony Tuesday of Warden r.
W. Dick before the senatorial in
vestigating committee probing into
charges of alleged graft in the Nc
Alester penitentiary. Dick stated
that Layton and Smith, archi-
tects of Oklahoma City, had contrib
uted to the fund and that when he
went to Wheeler and the other firm
he told them he would use his influ-
ence with the governor to remember
his friends, and not reward his enc
mics.
Dick stated that at first Wheeler
demurred, but when he was told
that Layton and Smith had put up
$4,000 he agreed to give his check
On the basis that he would be reim
tursed pro rata should further col
lection make this possible. He ex-
planned that the check had been
given September 16, after the 1910
primary in order to take up a part
of the note with the State Capitol
Bank of aCpitol Hill which had been
assumed by John NJ. Doolil, John
Williams, Lon NJ. Frame and Dick,
and relieve the campaign deficit.
The witness explained why he had
hesitated about answering about the
$4,000 check at a recent hearing,
having confused in his mind another
deal with Wheeler. He stated that
he and Wheeler had figured on buy
ing a flat building in Oklahoma City
in which $4,000 was necessary. He
said his wife had shortly before be
come the beneficiary of the estate of
her mother in Texas and had inher-
tied $4,000 Wheeler had agreed to
put up $4,000 and wrote check for
this amount. Mrs. Dick, however,
objected to Wheeler being in the
transaction as he was stranger and
the check was returned and torn up
by him. Dick testified that at the
time the committee first asked abol.
Wheeler's check he had forgotten
what had been done with the check
in the flat transaction.

through his words and manners from
the Throne of Grace.
DR.. Truett's church in Dallas is said
to be filed with men and women of
like spirit with himself, whose in
fluence for world wide evangelism is
becoming famous.
1t is in the church of which Dr.
Truett is pastor that J. H. Duke and
his wife hold membership. Mr.. Duke
became a bankrupt in business and
had to start in life again with every
vestage Of property swept away. He
registered a vow that he would give
a tenth of his income to the cause Of
religion, and the first year after his
failure his contribution was 500; a
tenth of the $1,000 he earned that year.
Each year thereafter his contributions
increased until they reached into the
thousands, when Mr. Duke and his wife
made new vow that as their wealth
had reached 100000 they did not need
or care to increase it further and that
thereafter they would give for Christ
ian uses every dollar Of their income
in excess of what was required fol-
their personal expenses. Last year
this income had reached $4,000 and
after spending $4,000 themselves they
gave $4,000 for religious and benevo
lent purposes. Mr.. Duke is now the
owner of twenty-nine 5 and 10 cent
stores, and from these his income is

Courtney was convicted of the GRIM

on the pleasures Of his trip to St.

said that the most pleasing thing to
him while in st. Louis was a sermon
by Rev. George w. Truett, pastor Of
the First Baptist church, Dallas, Texas.
This sermon, DR.. johnson said, was the
greatest delivery he ever heard from
human lips. It's effect, he states, was
shown in the fact that though there
was no pretense of oratory, no effort
to move the hearers by striking Of SEN
I sational statements, thousands OF
those in the audience were moved to
tears as the preacher presented the
claims of crucified Savior of men
as one worthy the absolute surrender
and conservation Of every human heart
