HUGHES INDICTS HIS OWN PARTY
 ON PORK" CHARGE
tcontinued from Page one,

(Continued from Page One) project at New London, which was most worthy and was included in the last bill
 BURTON'S FILIBUSTER
 This New London project, along with number of other very meritorious projects died a natural death when the bill of 1914 was tilbustered to death, and we were obliged to accept S20,O00.0O0 lump sum ap- propriation. The same thing happened with the bill of 1915. That also had a number of worthy new projects which we sought to include in the bill. but it. too, was talked to death by Senator Burton and some of his associates. It was finally passed as lump sum appropriation of $,5, ,00O, ,000.
 The senator from Alabama understands. I know, because he is we'll posted on all subjects, that when there is a lump-sum appropriation you cannot spend anything on new project. You can only expend money on existing projects-projects that have been previously adopted by Congress. The object of the lump-sum appropriation is to maintain the status quo and to keep those works going on to some extent

JUDGE
WAS ASSAULT
LAST ATURDAY
MASS MEETING GROWING OUT
OF THE SENSATION WILL BE
HELD AT BIG TABERNACLE TO-
NIGHT.

Ardmore had sensation thrust
upon it Saturday afternoon when Bud
Ballew, a deputy sheriff, slapped the
face of Judge w. F. Freeman in front
of the Felker grocery store on Main
street. The judge did not resent the
blows. The deputy slapped his face
and the judges hat fell to the side
walk. He stopped and picked 1t up,
and as he arose Mr.. Ballew, it is
reported, slapped his face again,
Neither of the parties to the trouble
has been interviewed by this paper,
but the causes which led up to the
assault grew out of the court of in
Quiry which the court has been hold
ing. The court seems to have been
of the opinion that Deputy Ballew was
either interested in a road house To-
Gated two miles west of Lone Grove,
or was giving protection to the per.
sons operating it. The deputy re-
sented the charge against him and
became impatient after several weeks
of worry over 1t.
Judge Freeman has been holding
courts Of inquiry for several months
and at one time he published notice
in The Ardmoreite giving the history
of a certain case that was in his
court. No reply was made by the
persons on the other side of the con,
troversy at that time.
There promises to be another chap
ter of the sensation tonight at the
tabernacle where DR.. NJ. Z. Williams
has been holding a series of union
meetings. A call has been made for
a mass meeting of both men and
women to begin at 7:45 tonight in
the tabernacle and the subject for
discussion at this meeting will be the
efforts made by Judge Freeman to
rid the county of the liquor evil and
also the assault that was made upon
him bv the deputy sheriff. The pros
poets are that a vast number will
be present at the meeting. The no.
tice which came to The Ardmoreite
calling the meeting indicates that
it was called in the belief that Judge
Freeman is doing his part in the at
tempt to enforce the law and that
the officer who assaulted him was in
the wrong.
The affair will enter largely into
the campaign this summer in the
county and much interest will be man
ifested in the discussion until it is
finally ironed out, and all is peace
again.

BUD BALE: "
HAS RESIGNED
FROM OFFICE.
DEPUTY SHERIFF PHONED IN HIS
RESIGNATION BEFORE HE HAD
SEEN SHERIFF GARRETT AFTER
ASSAULT.

Immediately following the trouble
Saturday afternoon, in which Bud
Ballew slapped the face of District
Judge w. f. Freeman, Mr.. Ballew
went to the city police station and
made bond for his appearance Mon
day, to answer to the charge of dis
turbing the peace, and then before he
had seen Sheriff Garrett he telephon-
ed in his resignation. In other words
he beat the sheriff to it" and gave
up his office as deputy. Mr.. Ballew
probably knew full well that he would
not be permitted TO remain on the
force, as he knows Sheriff Garrett
mighty well, and he did not run the
risk of being asked to resign, but
hastencd in his resignation over the
phone before the sheriff demanded it.
Bud Ballew stated yesterday that
he was never accused of dealing in
liquor or ever having anything to do
with it until he was sworn in as a
deputy sheriff. Following his taking
the oath of office insinuations and
charges have been made until he
completely lost his patience and let
his temper lead him to do what he
should not have done.
Bud Ballew is a good business man,
and it was at financial sacrifice that
he entered the service of the county.
He has done much work in the oil
fields, and has entered places there
at times when an older head would
not have gone Oil fields, like mining
camps, are hard to control, but the
reputation of Sheriff Garrett and his
men has kept many of the toughest
men out of the field who are in the
habit of going from one field to an
other.

Local Firemen Leave for Convention.
Meet at Cushing Tomorrow.
Chief of the Fire Department Reed
er, Delegate McFall and Commission
er London left today for Gushing,
where they go to attend the annual
convention of the State Firemens
association.
A few years ago the convention was
held in this city and attracted many
visitors. 1t was the intention of the
local delegation to invite the con-
vention to come to this city next year,
but Chief Reeder stated this morning
that after consulting with the Busi-
ness Mems association, in view OF
the fact that there were many other
things in contemplation for another
wear. and as it would require at least
n thousand dollars to entertain the
visitors. this amount would have to
be raised among the business men,
and it seemed an imposition to ask
them to donate this money. For that
reason. Ardmore will not be mention
ed as the next place of meeting OF
the association. The annual conyen-
ton begins at Cushing tomorrow
morning, and the local delegation
will arrive in time for the opening.

MAY END RATE CASE
Commission Will Fix a Rate OF 2T2
Cents: Roads Will Accept.

Oklahoma City, May 21.-Confer-
ence between state officers since the
recess in federal court in the. rate
cases have led to a general under
standing that an attempt will be made
to place a 21ac rate in force by order
of the corporation commission, and
thus end the rate litigation. The
Missouri, Kansas & Texas offered to
accept a rate of 1-6c two weeks
ago. It is thought this line will ac-
cept the lower rate, and that others
will follow. Anxiety of the Katy for
settlement of the case has revived
