COMMISSION is REVERSED
Supreme Court Passes on Right to
Order Service Tracks Built.

Oklahoma City, May 27.-The SUI
preme court has again reversed the
corporation commission in one of its
orders affecting the railroads. This
time it is in the case of the Rock
Island, which appealed from an order
of the commission requiring that road
to construct a service track for the
cotton oil mill of w. L. Baker. The
order was in effect that Baker
should build the service track, the
cost of it to be paid by Baker.
The supreme court holds that this
order is not legal, in that it required
the construction by the railroad. The
extent to which such orders may 60
says the court, is 70 require the rail
road TO make. connection with the
private service track when it shall
have been built and rendered.

WILL RETURN
To MUSKOCE:E
EMBEZZLiNG CITY AUDITOR OF
MUSKOGEE WILL EETURN -
WILL PLEAD GUILTY AND RE-
CElVE YEARS SENTENCE.

Muskogee, Okla, May 27.-Clay
Stinnett, formerly city auditor.
charged with embezzling $4,SO2 Of
the city funds, will within a few
guilty to the charge and be sentenced
to serve year in the state peniten-
tiary.
Friends of Stinnett yesterday morn
ing approached County Attorney
Branson, asking him what leniency
Stinnett might expect if he gave him
self up. Branson informed them that
he could not answer until he had
conferred with Mayor Wyand.
Stinnett's spokesmen themselves
made the proposition that the former
auditor would not complain if he
were not sentenced for more than one
year. Branson was given to under
stand, however, that should the city
and state officers not agree upon
such a sentence, thinking it too little.
Stinnett would continue in hiding.
I 1t was also intimated to the county
attorney that Stinnetts hiding place
officers would ever be able to find
him.
Remorse over his actions and his
desire to face the charges, take his
medicine, and, after having squared
the account with the law, to begin
life anew, were given by Stinnetts
spokesmen as prompting his desire to
surrender. "Clay is very repe7tant,"
one of the friends said. "He rcelIzes
that he has done wrong and that he
can find no peace, no matter how far
he travels, until he has made clean
breast of it all. His conscience is
hurting him"
The ambassadors" refused to give
any hint as to where Stinnett is in
hiding. They, however, made it
known that he is far away.
at will take Stinnett four days to
get here, travelling direct and with
all speed" one of them told Bran
son. "If you will agree to let him
off with a year provided he pleads
guilty without trial and comes in
himself we can get him here within
a week.
In a short time, Branson told the
men that both the city and the coun-
ty were willing to accept Stinnetts
proposition. Branson, it is known,
Immediately took the matter to May
or Wyand, and he, after talking it
over with the county attorney, ac-
quiesced
The city is now preparing to be-
gin action upon Sinnett's bonds to re-
cover the money missing.

MAY Be Stinnett.

Muskogee, Okla, May 27.-The
possibility that Clay Stinnett, fugi-
tive city auditor, is the man who
under the name of NJ. T. Carpenter.
hanged himself in the city iail at
Davenport, Iowa, this morning, is
being thoroughly investigated by the
police. Stinnett disappeared from
Muskogee on April II, the day the
new city administration took office.
A warrant was sworn out for his
arrest, charging him with embezzling
s4,SO2 of the city's money. Later a
further shortage of 5000 was discover
ed. Friends of Stinnett yesterday ap-
preached the county attorney and
mayor with a proposition whereby
Stinnett, said to be broken down
with grief and remorse, would give
himself up to serve a sentence OF one
year. The officials agreed, and Stin-
nett has been momentarily expected
here.

GENERAL DIES
GENERAL GAlllENI, DURING HIS
MILITARY CAREER OF as YEARS
PARTICIPATED IN SOME RE-
NOWNED EVENTS.

Paris. May 27.-General Joseph S.
Gallieni, former minister of war and
regarded by the poorer classes as
the savior of Paris, during the critical
DAYS of August, 1914. died today at
Versailles.
OF all the French generals in the
European war, few had better filled
life than General Gallieni, who, on
the outbreak of the great war in Au-
gust. 1914, was appointed military
governor of the entrenched camp of
Paris. Born of a military family at
st. Beat April "a. 1S49, he had reached
the age limit for retirement in 1919,
but was maintained in active ser
vice by decree, the minister OF war
holding that the services he had rem
dered as governor-general of Mada'
gascar justified an exception gener'
ally made only in favor of generals
who have held a supreme command
in the face of the enemy.
In the forty-fve years of his mill
tary career, Gallieni had participated
in some of the dramatic episodes OF
the war Of 1870, explored the Upper
Niger and imposed a French protec'
torate over the region; pacifed the

The next thing the people of this city

this building; in fact there are several
sets of plans under consideration and

THE Wilkerson brothers have been in
business on this corner for NUMBER

trade. They have faith in the future
of the city and are preparing TO IN

CITY if the building spirit which has
begun, prevails.
The new federal building will be
completed and occupied by the first
of the fiscal year, according to the
Judgment of Postmaster C. l.. Byrne.
This structure is perhaps the best
building in the city with the excep-

many times as much.
The CITY. according to a statement
of city officials is going to have TO

TO meet the growing demand for SER

LONG BEACH PLANS
FOR THE VALLEY

Long Beach, June 10.-With inqui-
ries from summer visitors coming in
at rate never before equaled, and
hotel men preparing for the best sum-
mer season this beach has ever known,
Karl /. Faust was sent to Imperial
Valley today by the business and civic
organizations to complete the plans
for making Long Beach the summer
capital of residents from that famous
and productive section.
Mr.. Faust will journey through
every city in the valley, call meetings
and get enthusiasm worked up for a
big banquet for Imperial Valley folk
to be held here early in July. At this
banquet we'll known business men and
ranchers of the American Nileland
will speak. 4"
An effort will he made to get Har-
old Bell Wright here On that occasion
to tell the story Of his advent and
life in the valley. Mr.. Faust has made
one trip to Imperial Valley and says
that the people there are all headed
this way for their summer vacations.

a new party has supplanted it on nev

Will Hughes Accept?

Will Hughes Accept?
Would Justice Hughes accept the
nomination?
That question had been asked by
everybody today. With the certainty
that he would face two other candi-
dates, no one expects his election, and
it is taken as extremely doubtful that
he will retire from the Supreme Court
to go to certain defeat as a candidate
for the presidency.
The fact is pointed out, too. that he
will enter the campaign with very
serious handicap. He was given the
open endorsement of the German.
American Alliance, frequently referred
to as the Un-American Alliance, and
in great part he owes his nomination
to this organization. On all hands
there is disposition to resent this
interference with American policies in
the interest of Germany, and the re-
action against him promises to become
one of the big factors in the cam
paign.

body is asking, and there is no an

Farm School Examinations.

County Superintendent of Schools A.
p. Shibley announces that entrance
examinations to the University Farm
School at Davis will be held under his
supervision at his office in the Court
House, June 10, beginning at 10.
These examinations are open to any
young man 18 years of age or older
who desires to enter the University
Farm School next September. If he
is a graduate Of high school accred-
tied to the University it will not be
necessary for him to take the exam
nations.
The entrance examinations will COW
er English and arithmetic. The exam
ination in English will consist of the
writing of paper of about 500 words
on one of several given subjects. That
in arithmetic will be the working of
problems, including the application of
per centage to farm problems; the
finding Of averages, and the applica-
ton of these principles to ordinary
business and farm problems.
The opportunities for the young man
who combines practical ranch expert
ence with technical training in agri-
culture are increasing faster than the
supply of well equipped men, and this
county should have a number of young
men taking advantage Of the education
the state is offering at the Univer-
sity Farm School at Davis.
The graduates of the University
Farm School this year numbered SO,
compared with 36 last year and "a
the year before. The enrolment this
year was 314, Of which one is from
this county.
Through the cooperation of the
county school superintendent candi-
dates taking this examination will
know before they leave home whether
or not they have passed, thus saving
any unnecessary expense in going to
Davis, unless they prefer to wait until
the opening Of school on September
Is before taking the examination.
Candidates should notify the county
superintendent at once that they wish
to take this examination.
