day OF last month there were 4,72o
pupils in the grades and 4S2 in high
school. The cOlOred schools were
transferred from county to city man
agement January /, 1914.
The vast expense of conducting the
business Of system of public schools
like that which Tulsa has, Is possibly
not known to the large majority or
the citizens. During the l9l3-l4 term
Of school the salaries of the teachers
in all the schools amounted to $102,-
472. The wages Of the Janitors and
other employees not members of the
corps of teachers Is estimated 10
amount TO no less than $4,000, and
various supplies and necessary over
head expenses like gas, water and
supplies for the manual training
and domestic science departments
amounted to $1S,259.
The cost of running the city schools
during the last complete term of nine
months was s12S,731 plus. These fig
ures do not touch upon the funds eX-
pended for new sites and buildings or
even the temporary buildings erected
last summer.

ments in all parks before spring and

ness of December and winding up the

when the new county home will be
completed.
There are three applicants for the
place. Dr. II. Il. Rhode DIR. j. b.
Gilbert and DIR. j. w. Rogers are those

thought that DR.. c. E. Earnheart,
county demonstrator, will be named,
as a home for him is included in the
contract for the erection Of the home,

WANTS To CLEAR
STAIN FROM NAME
Moonshiner Seeks to Be
Free to Marry Arkan-
sas Maiden.

Special to The World.
MUSKOGEE, Jan. because OF
his love for a little blue-eyed girl
down in Nevada county, Arkansas
James GrimmeTt, alleged TO be
moonshiner and under indictments on
the charge of violating the hquor
laws, Is in Muskogee trying to make
reparations with the law. The man
is engaged to the girl, but he declares
he will never marry her until he has
removed the stain of an Indictment
from his name and Is no longer
hunted man.
Grimmett for years has been in the
moonshine business, officers assert.
He Is reported to have operated
number of stills in McCurtain county
Officers made frequent attempts 70
capture him, but he always managed
TO escape. The search became so
warm for him, however, that he was
finally forced to flee across the border
into Arkansas.
Grimmett went to work for a man
in Arkansas. His employer had two
daughters, one of whom Grimmett
fell in love with. A year had passed
since Grimmett crossed the state line
with officers at his heels. The man
began to yearn for a happy homo
where he could go home from work
at night and find his pretty little wife
waiting for him. One night he pro-
posed and learned for certain that his
loye was returned. 1t was then that
Grimmett resolved to become a law
abiding citizen.
Grlmmett wrote a letter to United
States District Attorney Linebaugh,
saying that he was ready to give him
self up and serve his time In the peni
tentiary. He requested that every
charge against him be proven or dis
missed at once, as he wanted to get
his name cleared as soon as possible.
He did not tell Linebaugh of his plans.
But Deputy Sheriff j. Il. Newton, who
took him into custody and brought
him to Muskogee, knew all about
Grimmett and proceeded to tell Line
baugh of the little girl back In Ar
kansas and Grimmett's resolution to
make life worth living for her.
Attorney Linebaugh states that he
will look up the records in the case
and give the case his individual con-
sideratiOn. 1t is believed in the gov
ernment offices that justice will not
be sighted in the Grimmett case, but
everything will be done for the re-
formed man to shorten the period Of
time which the little girl on the farm
in Nevada county will have to wait
for her lovers return.

While Cold Weather Pre-
walls Board Improves
the Parks.
IMPROVE BIG LAKE
Forsythe Park Will Be Put
in Better Shape; Work
4 At Locust.

Although the weather is cold and
disagreeable and the people OF Tulsa
are thinking about strolls in the
parks about as little as anything the
city park board is busy getting ready
for the rush next summer. A few
questions have been asked about the
lake at owen park, and why it cannot
be used for skating during the winter.
The park has no objection TO the lake
being used for skating, and 1t was not
drained for that reason. The fact Of
the matter is, there is a sewer under
the lake, which leaks and drains the
water off all summer long The water
has been taken from the lake now in
order that the sewer may be mended
and the lake ready for swimming
next summer, when it Will be needed
most.
Real Sea- Beach.
This is not the only provision the
park board is making for good swim
ming in the Owen park lake. Fifty
loads of sand have been hauled from
the river to the lake TO be used as a
lining. A real seabeach will not be
any better on bathing suits that the
banks of owen park lake next sum
mer when the sandy sides are com
pleted and the border to the little
lake Is finished. There will be so
much more time to swim next sum
