STATE CAPITAL HAPPENINGS
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Oklahoma City,

The schools of Oklahoma may be
enriched to the extent of ten thousand
acres of land or its equivalent in gov
eminent scrip within few months.
upon the decision OF the secretary of
the interior. The supplemental brief
in the action to recover this land for
the state has been prepared by Judge
e. G. Spilman and is now in the hands
OF the printers. Judge Spilman will
go to Washington in short time to
present and argue the case for final
decision.
The case is considered Of vast i'm
portance, especially to the agricultural
schools of the state. The action was
originally brought for the purpose OF
taking advantage on the part of the
state of the Morrill, act, passed by
Congress in 1862, giving each state
10000 acres of land within its borders
for each senator or representative in
Congress. That act was subsequently
amended in 1866 to apply to territories,
and was later amended in 1888.
Case Now Pending.
The state Legislature of 1908, as
provided by law, accepted the benefits
Of the grant and the attorney generals
office endeavored to segregate all the
lands in the state that were liable at
that time under the terms of the grant,
The land offices in the state resisted
and an appeal was taken to the com
missioner of the general land office.
He sustained the position taken by the
land offices of the state and an appeal
was taken to the secretary of the In
terror. The case is now pending be-
fore him. Under the law as amended
the state would now be entitled to
100000 acres, as it had five representa-
tives and two senators at the time of
| admission.
Arguments have been made in this
case both by Judge Spilman and Sen.
ator Owen, but additional evidence
was required and will be furnished as
soon as the brief is printed.
The supplemental brief will contain
a great deal of information about the
agricultural schools of the state, pre-
pared recently by the state board OF
agriculture. This part of the brie
shows that Oklahoma is expanding
large sums for agricultural education
but that additional funds can be used
to good advantage.
100000 to Aggle Schools.
For the biennial period that will enc
July l, 1917, the government has con
tributed $300,058 to the agriculture
schools of the state, and the legisla
ture has appropriated $416,75S. This
has been apportioned to the different
schools, the largest part of II going t
the A. & NJ. college at Saltwater.
The Cameron school at Lawton was
lpportioned $29 900, the Corners schoo
at Warner $4,000, the Connell schoo
at Helena $29,500, the Haskell schoo
at Broken Arrow $2S,5OO, the Murray
school at Tishomingo SIS, 258. the Pan
handle school at Goodwill $29, $50, anC
the colored agricultural school anC
normal at Langston $74550. In add
ton there was appropriated for this
school from the state $l5,65O for sup
port and maintenance and 100000 fol
waterworks and sewer system.
If the secretary OF the interior de
cides adversely to the state, an appeal
will be taken to the supreme court OF
the United States.

eoOkman to bic peeember to.

Rich Hardin, a white man, in Nc
Intosh county, April 2, 1915, will be
electrocuted at the McAlester peni-
tertiary on Friday, December 10, ac-
cording to a decision Of the state
criminal court of appears.
In the case of r. c. Morehead, the
negro sentenced to death for the STAY
ing of Clifford Garrison, white book
keeper for the Chickasha Oil Com
Dany, which crime occurred at Snyder,
February 7, 1915, the judgment of
the lower court is reversed and
retrial will ensue.
Both negroes had been sentenced
to death and the date of execution
set for October 29.
1t is not believed that Governor
Williams will interfere to stay the eX-
ecution of Bookman, as no mitigating
circumstances have been adduced.
The negro merely offered the state
ment that he acted in self-defense,
Offering no proof to substantiate the
statement. With shotgun he at
tackled an unarmed man, shot off his
hand and his arm, then pursued him
until he fell, and beat out his brains
with the gun.
Justice Doyle also rendered the
opinion in the case of Morehead, con-
cured in by Justices Furman and
Armstrong. The judgment of the
lower court is, upon review, reversed
on the ground that the district court
abused its discretion in refusing to
grant continuance. The showing
was that the negroes all were driven
from the town Of Snyder at the time
of the homicide. About six of them
had been witnesses of the alteration.
Two of them went 10 Texas. The de-
PENDANT alleged he was too poor to
secure their dispositions. A negro
arrested with Morehead went to Gin
ton. A letter IRON him was intro
duced saying he would be at the trial,
A subpoena was issued, but he did
not appear. 1t seems that the negroes
were intimidated and were afraid that
If they appeared at the trial they
would be injured.
The lower court overruled the
challenge of two jurors for cause.
Both claimed they held opinions
which it would take evidence to re-
move. One of the jurors was ex-
cused pre-emptorily. The other said
his opinion was formed from what he
had heard the people of Snyder say
after he had been summoned. They
had discussed the case fully in his
hearing. His opinion was not found
ed upon rumor or newspaper report
which can be set aside, but was found
ed upon statements made by people
who purported to know the facts.
Story Of the Crime
In this case is presented rare
feature, that wherein a defendant in
a murder trial asks the admission OF
the dying declaration Of the slain
man.
In this case Morenead had been dls
charged several days before the kill
ing occurred. On that date he was
at the negro shack Of the employees OF
the oil mill. Garrison, aged "a, went
to the shack and was met outside by
Morehead. A quarrel ensued. 1t ap'
pears Garrison picked up an iron bed
Stat and struck the negro, who wrest-
ed the slat from him, then pulled a
revolver from his pocket and shot the
white man.
The accusation probably will be re
duced to manslaughter.

BUSINESS ON THE UPGRADE Is
 OPINION
Merchants and Residents, Generally, Declare Busin- ess is Generally Better Travellers Also Say So.
Business is betterl

Business is better.
 This phrase is beginning to loom large on the lips of every merchant aud every resident oj Bisbee, the War ren District and the State of Arizona.
 Business is better. There is only one guage of business and industrial conditions. That is whether money is loose. That fact can hardly be dis puted in Bisbee Nearly all of the merchants in the District are conf dent that business is materially bet ter than it was one month ago and promises Co gain rapidly.
 "Bisbee." declared a we'll known merchant yesterday "win see better times this coming fall than it ever has before. Business is already on the upgrade. Money is easier in every quarter and that which has been hid for the past two months Is yeuWiHe out with the idea of improving its opportunities
 In speaking of general bushes conditions thrcuehout tHe state of Arizona. James Elder. sales manager for the saginaw-Mnistee Lumber Company of Williams was very de- cided in the opinion that business was most certainly better
 Elder snoke particularly of lumber conditions But. as the salesman pointed out, if such conditions ob- ditions obtain in the lumber trade it tain in the lumber trade it is the best of assurance that like or even better conditions prevail in other lines TO buy lumber means develop meat or building Both of these sig nifty business all the vay down the line of work.
 Elder is not the only traveller to sneak O fbetter times All of the tray- cling men who touch Bi-bee have the same cheerful smile All are of the opinion that the country has been in the cloueh of despondency about long enough and is rapidly making strides towards a complete recovery

 ABRUZzI

WASHINGTON. D. C., Jan. 25.- The National Geographic Society has prepared the following description of the region in Italy just deyasted hy by the great earthquake:
 "In the Abruzzi district of east cen tral Italy where the recent earth quake shocks have worked in seconds a destruction equal to weeks Of war there are no great cities and few monuments of the country's brilliant history or its more famous works of art. Abruzzi is a grazing, yine-growing farming district. It is mountainous and huly land. comprising the widest and most rugged portion of the Apen- hines. Some of ltaly's most pictur- esque scenery is to be enjoyed here. although travellers from America seldom seek it, as the railway connec- tions are bad and the inn accommo- dauons. for the most part sadly prim- tive and severe
 "The district contains some G,3SO square miles, or is about equal in size
 
 Connecticut It supports some two million people, most of whom make their livings in farming, orchard and vine culture and tn cattle sheep and swine raising There is considerable unimportant manufacturing within the district but little or no industry. Rarely beautiful tapestries and hand. made laces are worked in the hilly villages as home work Many of Che Abruzzi peasantry untaught in the methods Of design and maded by any but the simplest mechanical contriv ances, display the highest order oi artistic appreciation in their hand l lace productions.
 Vast forests of oak beech and pine cover the jagged mountain groups, and their area serves as a feeding ground

KENTUCKY SADDLE HORSE

Geo. Anderson came in Friday with
fine looking eighteen months old colt
from registered stock of the American
Saddle Horse Association. The young
stallion was bred on the r. W. Everett
ranch at Villa Grove, but both sire and
dam are from Kentucky Saddle Stock,
the sire being Undulata Regent, un-
defeated winner at the famous races in
Lexington. and the grsndsire, the fa-
nous Bourbon King.
1t is Mr. Anderson's intention TO start
fine strain of saddle horses for the
Gunnison country. The need of first
class animals is becoming very appear
ant of late, for little attention has been
paid to breeding them, and the European
war is draining the best blood we have
left. With this foundation stock be
hopes to start something in that line
worth while.
