WILLIAMS REPLIES TO MURRAY
Governor Declares Congressman Muir
rays Charges not Founded on Fact

Oklahoma City, Okla, May 22.-Gov-
ernor Williams has written an answer
to Congressman Murray. The press
last week carried reference to a long
letter by Congressman Murray in
which he asserted that Governor Viii
liams had c. w Briles removed as
president of the Ada Normal for polit-
ical reasons, and that the governor
procured the candidacy of Judge Tom
G. McKeown of Ada against Murray
for the democratic nomination for con-
gress. The letter of Governor VIII
liams is short. 1t says:
Neither one of these charges is true,
or founded, on fact. / am assuming
that you have sought to circulate this
information. believing that it will be
to your political advantage"
The governor is not in any sense a
partisan of the Tishomingo congress

GRUMBlNE NOW PRESIDENT
OF CENTRAL STATE NORMAL

Alva, okla, May 22-Grant B.
Grumbine who was recently elected
president of the Central State Nor
nal school at Edmond, the largest
normal school in Oklahoma, owes his
election to the circumstance that as
president of the Northwestern State
Normal school located at Alva, some
of his enemies charged him with being
incompetent to manage the school. The
state board of education sent a mem
ber of the board to Alva to investi-
gate the charges against Grumbine.
The investigation was conducted, and
the board was informed that Grumbine
should be removed from the school
and given a large charge. at an in
creased salary. Grumbine rendered his
resignation at the request of the board.
The resignation was accepted and the
board Immediately elected him presi-
dent OF the Central State Normal
at an increased salary.
For six years Grumbine was presi-
dent OF the Northwestern State Nor
NAL school at Alva, and Immediately
prior to his going TO Alva he was con
nected with Epworth University then
conducted at Oklahoma City.

SCHOOL CLOSED AT BUcKHoRN
Farmer CreeI Tells How He Saved His
Fruit Crop One Niqht This Spring

Farmer CreeI Tells How He Saved His
Fruit Crop One Night This Spring
Sam D. Creel, a member of the
school board at Buckhorn which is be-
tween Healdton and Fox, was here to-
day on school business with Prof L.
VI. Thurston. Mr.. Creel states that his
school had an enrolment the past year
Of 142 pupils The teachers were Miss
Gladys Fischel Of Ardmore and Miss
Matte Veal OF Woodford The two
young ladies did very fine work and
the school was a success. The term
ended last Friday night.
Mr. Creel states that crop prospects
are very good and that more fruit is
being raised than many people expect.
He has young orchard of about 500
trees and during one of the cold
nights this spring which threatened
the crop he stayed up all night and
burned logs in his orchard. He has
been rewarded by a fairly good crop
that is coming on. Mr. Creel leased
his farm for oil when Healdton was
discovered. The lease was forfeited
and when the Fox well was drilled
in, interest centered his way and he
leased again. His farm is two miles
south of the big Gypsy gas well.

U. s. At Farmers Show
Government Asks for Nearly
Third of Space at Land Prod
ucts Exposition in Toledo.

The United States government de-
sires nearly n third of the exhibit
space of the land show in Terminal
Auditorium, December to 16.
The department of agriculture has ,
asked for more than 1000 square feet
of space.
The government plans an exhibit equal
to that at the Panama Exposition.
1t is unlikely the full allotment of
space asked by the department Of agri-
culture will be given. The space will
he arranged so the full government ex
hibit can be shown to good advantage.
The government has the finest eX-
hibit of road making machinery prob
ably ever shown. A number of mlnia-
ture figures of men, horses. tractors
and wagons operated by electricity,
making the various roads the govern
ment suggests for rural communities
will be shown.
There will be wealth of other eX-
hibits from the experiment station at
Wooster. with exhibits from its coun-
tty farms; Michigan and the Lucas
county commissioners also will have
exhibits. The latter exhibit will show
good roads. the care given tuberculosis
patients in the county hospital; pro-
ducts from the county farm and other
VI ork.
Many county superintendents in
Ohio have promised to have exhibits
of work from rural school pupils. A
like exhibit will come from southern
Michigan.
Toledo .Jovians are going to get
back of the big electrical show to be
held at Toledo's monster Terminal
auditorium from December to 16, in
conjunction with the Land Show.
Things electrical will be exploited
in a novel manner, and the exhibit will
be so instructive as to really be edu-
cational as well as fascinating and
novel.
Special arrangements are being
made by all transportation lines en-
tering Toledo to take care of the i'm
menSe throngs that will pour into
Toledo from the rural districts, from
miles around. 1t will be the biggest

Salvini's Descendants.

Salvini, the great Italian tragedian, made it a condition that none of his sons should act in Italy so long as he remained on the stage. So Gustavo was banished to the other countries of the continent and acted in Russia and Austria with some successes. Alex ander learned the English language and played in this country until he died at an early age. ~Tomaso is now an actor in Italy and is said to have in- herited to a greater degree than any of his brothers the talents of his father. Salvini was married twice; first to Clementine CazZola, an eminent Italian actress, who die, leaving him three small children. Many years later he married an Englishwoman named Lot tie Sharp, by whom he had two chil- dren. His grandchildren have attract ed attention in art and other circles in Italy.

best of it when one of the robbers drew gun and fired, and one of the clerks fell, mortally wounded. The robbers escaped for the time, but a day or two later stranger was found limping along the road, and was gath cred in. He was soon identified as Ru- loff, whose fame was everywhere in those days. Ruloff felt reasonably safe, for his comrades couldn't turn state's evidence. He had seen to that A few days later their bodies were found in the river. One of them was Jarvis.
 Ruloff had a deformed foot, and one of the shoes found in the store was made to fit that foot, so his connection with the crime was established we'll enough. He was his own attorney at his trial, and the speech he made was a wonderful effort. It was much like that of Eugene Aram; in fact, he quoted Aram to some extent, saying that his days were given to honest toll and his nights to arduous study. His argument was along the line that so- ciety couldn't spare him. His great work on philology was approaching completion, and if the world was robbed of that monumental volume, it would be the greatest catastrophe of modern times.
 The jury decided, however, that so- ciety would be able to struggle along without it, and found Ruloff guilty. He was sentenced to death. and went to the scaffold protesting that civilization was doing itself an irreparahe injury. An eminent scientist examined his brain, and announced that Ruloff was by nature thief and murderer, no more responsible for his acts than tiger, and no more deserving of pity.
 Only the high places in his criminal career have been touched in this ac- count. A complete story would make book as large as his own volume on philology.

son for it has ever been discovered.
 On June "A, 1S45, Ruloff went to neighbor and borrowed horse and wagon. The neighbor helped him to lift a large box into the wagon, and he drove away. He journeyed to Ithaca, which town he reached at sundown, and spent several hours in 8 tavern He seemed boisterously happy, and the loafers declared him a prince of en- tertainers After a while he paid his score, hitched up his horse again, and drove to Lake Cayuga. There he se- cured boat and rowed away with the long box aboard.
 The next morning he drove cheerily back to his home, and when the neigh bors asked where his wife was, he told them she had gone to Ohio on visit. This satisfied the neighbors, but 1t didn't satisfy Ruloff's brother-in-law, who began an investigation, with the result that Ruloff was arrested, charged with the murder of his wife. The body of the victim could not be found, so he was tried and convicted on a charge of abduction, and sen fenced to ten years in the penitentiary. He was a good prisoner, and all his spare time was gwen to study.
 Immediately upon his release he was rearrested, charged with murder, but he made such an eloquent speech in his own defense that he was acquitted. But the people didn't want this man at large They considered him monster, and as dangerous as rattlesnake. So he was again arrested, charged with the murder of his own child. He was convicted and sentenced to be hanged
 After his conviction he made a suc- cessful effort to gain the admiration and confidence of the jailer's son, a youth named Jarvis. He told great stories of buried treasures to such good effect that young Jarvis helped him to escape, and the two reached the mountains of Pennsylvania, where they led a yagabond life for a year. Then, Ruloff, tired of being a fugitive, away from books and libraries, surren- dered to the authorities, and, by means of some legal twists, managed to re- gain his liberty after a while. This made the people so peevish that a lynching party called at the jail, but Ruloff had disappeared.
 His subsequent career for several years was compound of study and vil- lainy. Sometimes he worked at his great treatise, and at other times he indulged in grand and petty larceny
 On hot August night in 1870 a. burglary was committed in Bingham ton. Three robbers entered store, and having removed their shoes so they could work quietly, they began ransacking the place. Two clerks who were sleeping in the store were awak- ened by some slight noise, and they put up brave fight to save their mas ter's property. They were getting the
