After holding John Doe inquiry for
two weeks into accusations against Jo-
seph A. Rock, of No. 400 East 136th
street, and Mrs. Rose A. Lusk, of No. Az
East 1880 street, Magistrate Appleton in
the Tombs police court yesterday decided

General Sessions on a charge Of grand
larceny.
Christina Homes OF No. 40 East 18th
street. is the complainant. She alleges
that Rock and Mrs. Lusk induced her to

a fine residential section Of Long Island
and near a beautiful lake, but which in
reality are near Manorville. Long Island.
She says the only thing in sight. after size
had persuaded a conductor TO let her off,
was DOGGY ground and a few scrubby
trees. She was unable TO find her prop
erty.
She returned to New York and under
an assumed name got evidence to have
the two arrested. Deputy Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Deuel. is investigating the

SURROGATE WOULD
ABOLISH OWN JOB
Fowler for Abandoning Special
Courts and Combining
Judicial System.

Robert Ludlow Fowler. Surrogate OF
New York County, has given expression
10 the opinion that the lltigated business
OF the surrogates could be moro expe-
ditiously handled by the Supreme Court.
In this he has made a suggestion that
would abolish HIS own position.
The non-litigated business in the rural
counties could be very well done by
county clerks and In large cities by reg
istry Offices presided over by an official
whose salary need not be large, as his
duties would not be highly technical" he
said.
Surrogate Fowler said that the aboli-
ton Of special courts and consolidation OF
the judicial system were in line with the
modern tendency in Great Britain and In
the various commonwealths OF the United
States.
The man who receives the wills OF the
City Of New York made his position plain
when he discussed the Wende bill now
pending I'm the legislature This is a
general bill revising judicial procedure
and making radical changes in the func-
tons OF the Surrogate.
My principal objection 10 the bill Is
that II proposes extensive changes in the
judiciary system or the eve OF the most
important constitutional convention ever
held IN this state" said the Surrogate 1T
seems to me that in view Of the near APP
proach OF the constitutional convention
any revision Of the law relating 10 surro-
gates would be premature.
The tendency OF the bill is to enlarge
the surrogates' courts. This will necessi-
tate larger courts and more officers and
attendants and very largely increase the
cost 70 the people Of the state. To my
mind this IS an insuperebe objection 70
the pending measure. The tendency
should be 10 simplify the structure OF the
courts
II had hoped that no great change
would be made in the surrogates' courts
in my time but, after examining the
benefits TO be derived from the two pro-
posals under consideration-tha is TO en-
large or to abolish and transfer litigated
business 10 the Supreme Court have re
luctantly come 10 the conclusion that pub
lie interest demands the abolition OF the
surrogates courts.
The abolition OF the surrogates' courts
is the cheapest solution OF the problem.
and in these days the expense 10 the pub

sideration."

The treatment advocated by DR.. Sharpe,
on the other hand, is of two parts. the
first being the removal Of the pressure
that impedes the brain and the second
the exercising Of the muscles which had
not previously been used. Part one is
performed by cutting just above the right

RAILROADS
PREPARE TO
CROPS


Unless the opening market Of this
years grain crop is decidedly on the
incline, causing many OF the farmers
and dealers to hold their stuff for a
better price, the Transportation com.
nanies are up against the hardest
proposition in years to supply cars fol-
handling the Oklahoma grain. This IS
the belief that railroad men have
expressed.
Ia Grady county the wheat crop is
almost beyond the danger line. reduc-
ing the possibility OF even partial
failure to the minimum. During the
abundant rain and cool weather Of the
past two weeks, the wheat has grown
with almost unbelievable rapidity, ana
is now above waist high with the.
heads filling out nicely A few warm
days vii turn the trick. and with the
rattle Of the sickle, one Of the biggest
wheat harvests Grady county has ever
known will be on.
With this knowledge to guide them.
the transportation companies are as
sembling, as far as possible, their
cars ayalIableand fit for the handling
of small grain, in the wheat belt. The
car repairing force at Chiekasha is
running with full crew and grain
cars are being repaired as fast as pos
sible then transported to siding at
Some convenient place along the line
and held there, awaiting the time when
the hum Of the thieahar is heard in
the land.
Local freight agents watch with
greedy eyes and welcome the arrival
Of empty cars, suitable for the grain
service or that can be worked over
into grain carrier.
This attitude on the part OF the rail
road men means that they arc prepar-
ing for as prompt transportation ais
possible the great grain crop that is
now waving on practically every farm
in southwest Oklahoma.

negress. last Wednesday night, came
back to the city and gave himself up at
midnight Friday night, hiring man
to bring him in from about fourteen

The story he told Of the affair cor
roborates exactly the testimony offer

and he states that the only reasSs ht

had gotten to him that mob was
forming and he feared violence. The
report was false as he learned later.
and when he knew the true state Of
affairs and the general feeling here
he returned to Chickasha.
He told his story in straightfor
ward manner saying that he was in
company with several others when
Iyey came in. Ivey had been drinking.

to pawn his watch. Blair told him
that be would like to have the watch
but that he was going to Anadarko the
next morning and would probably not
see him again, but suggested that he
pawn the watch to win Carter, anoth-
er negro.
"lvey then pulled out his gun, said
Blair He started to cock it and said,
