MRS. M. &. BOND PREFERRED
CHARGES INVOLVING U. S. SEN
ATOR FROM OKLAHOMA.
DEMANDS HE PAY $4,000
Brother of Governor Cruce Defends
Blind Lawmaker and Charges That
Case Is Political "Frame-Up"-Says
Enemies Threatened.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. 13.-
More than 500 persons were present
when the trial of the $4,000 damage
suit brought by Mrs. Minnie E. Bond
against Thomas Pryor Gore, United
States senator from Oklahoma, was
begun before District Judge George
w. Clarke on Wednesday. A. c. Cruce,
brother of Governor Cruce of Okla
homa, is defending Senator Gore.
Mrs. Bond was dressed plainly in
blue serge suit and small, chic
hat. She and her husband left the
courtroom after a conference with
her attorneys. The questioning of
the jurors was under way when Sen
ator Gore entered court. The blind
senator felt his way to seat in front
of the jury box. He leaned heavily on
the arm of his wife. She took seat
directly at his elbow and an animated
conversation took place as she gave
the blind statesman a word picture
of the courtroom setting. Senator
Gore also was accompanied by D. L..
Frawley, income tax collector for
Texas and Oklahoma, and G. M. Kay,
brother of Mrs. Gore.
In the opening statement for the de-
Tense, A. G. Cruce, brother of Govern
or Cruce of Oklahoma, characterized
the charges as I'll fired conspir-
acy." He said he would prove that a
certain clique of men had threatened
to get" Gore because of their failure
to get certain federal appointments:
He said he would prove that Mrs.
Bond solicited the appointment with
Gore on March "a, and that Gore had
told her repeatedly that he had pledged
his support to another for the office
sought by her husband. He said Gore
was led to the hotel room, talked with
Mrs. Bond, and as he reached for his
cane on the bed Mrs. Bond grabbed
his hand and pulled him upon her.
When he was in this position the
three men were in position to see the
occurrence.

WHAT LEGISLATURE DID.

About fifty bills, ready to be
made laws, await the signature of
Gov. Cox, as the concrete result of
the work of the special session of
the eightieth general assembly. The
rural school reform plan was en-
acted almost exactly as outlined by
the school survey commission.
Miners will be paid for coal they
mine, as the result of the passage
of the Green bill. The Miami val
ley can be organized as a single
unit district for flood protection in
conformity with the Vonderheide
measure. Fraud in initiative and
referendum elections now will be
more improbable since the passage
of the Weygandt bill. The legisla-
ture placed Ohio's finances on a
budget basis. The only large sin
gle appropriation was 100000 for
Ohio's exhibit at the Panama-Pacific
exposition. Other important laws
provide that money from automo-
bile license fees should be spent
for good roads, and for the nomina-
ton of United States senators by
popular vote.

Columbus, Ohio.-Efforts are being
made to compromise on the Mills bill.
Representative King has suggested as
an amendment that before any bonds
are issued to buy a utility it must be
valued by the State Public Utilities
commission and found to have been
self-supporting for the five years pre-
ceding. Should the sale price be fixed
at more than 10 per cent of the de-
termined value, no sale can be made
until there has been a referendum
Provision is made also that all ex-
penses of operation, after a utility has
been taken over, must be met by the
revenues and no other money used
for that purpose without popular ap-
proval.

ChlId-HeaIth Campaign.

A statewide movement to more
carefully supervise the health of the
children attending the rural schools
in Ohio will be launched as a result
of the report of the Ohio state school
survey commission. Agents Of the
commission found that the health of
the pupils in rural schools is not being
looked after with the same degree of
care that is given the children in the
cities. AS result of the strong
recommendations made in the report,
an effort will be made to extend a
modified form of medical and dental
supervision of school children into
even the most remote school district
of the state. The movement will have
the hearty support of the state school
authorities, the state board of health,
the Ohio State Medical association,
and the Ohio State Dental society,". as
well as the other public health organi-
cations.

System of Uniform Accounting.

Enforcement of a uniform system of
accounting on all public utilities of
the state, both hose publicly and pri-
vately owned, was determined upon
by the state public utilities commits
sion. At the same time it was pro-
posed that the commission take the
first step in securing physical valua-
ton of all public utilities except rail-
ways, express and telegraph compa-
nies. Slow progress will be made in
this department because the state is
not ready to spend the million dollars
that will be necessary. A uniform sys-
tenn of accounting for publicly owned
utilities is expected to develop what
ever defects there are in management.
1t will, at the same time demonstrate
whether rates are adequate The
finances of privately owned utilities
will also be subjected to clearer un-
derstanding under the new system, it
is expected.
