PARIS GREEN AND wHlrEwAsH


In his opening address in Chandler,
August 5, John Fields. in speaking Of
VIII McBrine, former assistant in the
state auditors office, who was convict
ed Of stealing $4,000, said.
When am elected governor any
whitewash which may be used, will be
literally dosed with Paris green, and
the pardon clerk will be given an in
definite leave OF absence.
Il do not believe that trip to Eu-
rope and few weeks visit with
friends at McAlester is adequate pun
ishment for stealing $4,000 of your
money!
The facts which Fields suppressed,
are these:
First The people never lost one
cent of money in this transaction. Nc
Brine sold some forged warrants on
the state, the payment of which was
stopped, and the bankers who bought
the warrants we're the losers, not the
people
Second McBrine was prosecuted by
q Republican county attorney OF Okla
homa county before Republican court
in Oklahoma county and McBrine
plead guilty to the charge and received
his sentence from the court and serv-
cd his term in the state penitentiary

MUST PAY DEATH
 PENALTY IS VERDICT
Arthur Hodges. Convicted Slayer. Tried as to Mental Status, De- clared Sane By Jury. Must
 Pay Penalty.

Philadelphia, Aug. 25.-Arthur Hodges, the convicted slayer of Amity's constable, Morgan Garnes, was adjudged sane in brief but sen- sational trial here yesterday, and will have to pay the death penalty former ly imposed.
 For more than a year much has been said and published about this un- fortunate youth. The Humane Society was instrumental in getting trial to establish his mental status, and in consequence the trial was granted by the supreme court.
 Hodges deed was the alleged mur- der of Constable Morgan Garner of Amity, near that town, July last, when he tried to make a getaway from the officer.
 Never has there been on trial here as courageous prisoner as Arthur Hodges. Throughout his tragic vicis- situdes of the past year, in which he has been condemned to death. occupied the death cell at the state penitentiary and stood another trial, in which there appeared no ray of hope, he has stead fastly manifested only stolidity and indifference. Though he has not for gotten how to smile, and appears in excellent health, he met the verdict yesterday with equanimity. Even though he is not insane, he is a queer specimen of humanity, and there are many who think him irresponsible.
 A vast crowd attended the trial and not all could crush into the court room. The trial was brief, and con- sisted mainly in taking the evidence of physicians and officers who have had Hodges in charge. The jury was empaneled in the forenoon, but took a recess at Il o'clock. At the noon hour pr. J. L. Greene, superintendent of the State Hospital for Nervous Dsea- ses, and a number of local physicians made thorough examination of the convicted youth.
 At 1:30 proceedings began. Judge Jacob M Carter charged the jury that nothing but the question of Hodges sanity was before them. Smith X Haynie represented the prisoner.
 The principal witnesses were Dr. J.. L. Greene, sperintendent of the Hos pital for Nervous Diseases, Little Rock; Dr. Will Coulter, penitentiary physician; Dr. w. M. Watson, of Ami ty, Dr. w. M. Moore of Philadelphia, and the father and brother of Hod- ges. The evidence of these physicians concurred in the opinion that Hodges was not insane but mentally undevel- oped; that he manifests no more in- telligence than a. boy of perhaps l2

 "A new battle is in progress be- tween Maubeuge Department of the North) and Donon Gin central Vosges) On it hangs the fate of France.

RUSSIANS CLAIM GERMAN
 TROOPS ARE CORNERFD
Report Enemy Has Been Virtually Trapped in Eastern Prussia Start Forward Movement
 From two Directions

London, Aug. 5.-Telegraphing from St. Petersburg. the Reuter- Tele- gram Company's correspondent says:
 "The principal Russian losses in Prussia up to the present have result ed from the determination of the rank and file of the Russian army to get at the enemy.
 Although the mounted guards in the center have suffered heavily. the infantry advances have been more than satisfactory. The enemy virtual ly is cornered in Eastern Prussia.
 Mounted officers arriving in St. Petersburg dwell on the fear displayed by the Germans of the Russian cav airy.
 Military experts say the German equipment is excellent, and that there artillery is good, but that their rifle shooting is inaccurate. They add that the Japanese were infinitely superior In this respect in the Japanese war, and accomplished in an hour what the Germans would require a day to do.
 "It is said that in one case a Rus sian squadron charged a battery and captured all its guns. The German sol diers are said to have discharged their rifles and their officers to have thrown n Lo1 nets"
 A St. Petersburg dispatch to the Post says it is expected another inn portant battle will be fought on the Russo-German frontier Thursday.
 Tt is known," says the dispatch, that the Russian army is advancing on the whole front with the German retiring before it.
 "The Russians are penetrating Ga licia in considerable force. Apparent ly Russia is prepared to wage sepa- rate war in this region, the operations centering in the Kiev military district.
 "The full significance of the Pol ish autonomy proclamation thus is be- coming clear The task of this new Russian army is evidently to invade and occupy the country up to the Car pathians, an admirable natural from tier"
 Prussian Defense Strong.
 A dispatch to the Daily Mail from St. Petersburg says:
 "The German defense in East Prus- sia is based on four parallel and strongly fortified lines running north and south. Each is supported by nat ural obstacles. The foremost three lines are distinct groups of numerous lakes. The fourth and strongest de- fense line is the Vistula river, extend ing from the Russian frontier to the Baltic.
 Outside these defense lines the Germans have on the northeast the very strong fortress of Koingsburg, with the fortified advance positions at Libau and Tapiau. This is situated on the flank of the Russian line, and must be invested, necessitating the detach- ment of considerable force.
 "The foremost three defense lines are extensively fortified.
 "There are important and strong | Notifications at Alsente and Boyline, and the whole is filled with lakes, leav- ing only comparatively narrow defiles for the advancing troops. The coun- try is full of Notifications, partly pro visional and partly field works, most of which are armed with heavy guns. A frontal attack would be very diff ficult task.

 The evidence was all in by 3 o'clock. The jury, in less than an hour, re- turned verdict that Hodges was sane man at the time he was tried year ago.
 Hodges sat with calm composure and heard the decision that consigned him to the electric chair. He asked the officers near to explain the verdict, and Sheriff Roy Golden told the youth the grave consequences. He did not vince. and later asked Mir.
