Plans for starting at once the State Charity Hospital authorized by the last legislature were discussed at a conference held this week by Gov ernor Brough, members of the State Charity Hospital Board and represen- tatives of the University of Arkan- sas Medical Department. The confer ence was held at the Isaac Folsom clinic, Second and Sherman streets.
 All those present approved the idea. but deferred action pending an investi- gation as to whether the action would be legal
 It was suggested that the clinic be converted into the State Charity Hos pital as beginning. It was said that the old hospital could be repaired so that two additional wards could be installed furnishing facilities for about 100 patients. The Isaac Fol som clinic was constructed at cost of s25,0O and was donated to the state. It was suggested that Gov ernor Brough issue an emergency proclamation to provide $30,000 for the purpose of euqipping the clinic as hospital. It was said that the ESQ., 900 could be secured by selling the state-owned land west of the Deaf Mute Institute This land was given to the fund for the establishment of the State Charity Hospital by an act of the last legislature.
 Frank Pace, a member of the Board of Trustees of the University of Ark ansas, was requested to examine the act of the legislature creating the State General Hospital to ascertain whether the proposed plan would be legal. Governor Brough said he would consider the suggestion that he issue an emergency proclamation.

HEFL|N, CENSURED,

DEMANDS HEARING

Congressman Thomas Helm OF Ala,
bama was censured by the House In its
closing session for his statements con-
eerning suspicious members In connee-
ton with the Bernstorff $50.Oo0 slush
fund Chairman Barnhart's investigat-
ing committee reported. directly putting
II up to Helm to make good his charges
or drop the subject The report. az
adopted, follows:
While your committee makes no rec
ommendation in the premises we beg to
state II as our opinion that insofar as
Mr.. Helms charges impute or might
fairly be construed to impute dishonest
or corrupt motives to any member Of
Congress, Notwithstanding the fact that
he now denies any intention Of convey
ing any such imputation. his conduct in
this respect is subject to criticism
But inasmuch as the serious ques-
tion Of disloyalty TO our country, on
the part OF soma members of the
House, has been raised by Mr.. Hefiin.
in the opinion OF your committee, the
direct and parliamentary course OF
action would be the institution, by
him, OF proceedings for expulsion
from Congress OF those whose loyalty
he challenges"
The report was signed by Chair
man Barnhart, Vensble, Dewalt,
Longworth, and Walsh.
Immediately as the clerk finished
reading the report, Hefiin jumped to
his feet demanding a hearing. Chair
man Barnhart got the floor. however.
and moved, as an expression of the
committees feeling, that the previous
question be called. A vote was i'm
mediately taken, and the report
jority.
All other resolutions bearing on
the subject OF an investigation of the
Bernstorn slush fund and the Helm
charges are expected to be buried in
committee. Congress, on adjourning,
evidently was glad to have closed
the whole incident.

ROOSEVELT GIVES
. AID TO BOND LOAN
IN HIS EDITORIAL

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Oct 7.-Theo.
dore Roosevelt's copyright editorial in
the Kansas City Star today says:
1T is not many years ago one OF the
favorite cries OF those who wished
to exploit for their own advantage the
often justifiable popular unrest and
discomfort was that the people were
oppressed in the interest OF the bond
holders The more ardent souls of
this type wished to repudiate the ma
tionaI debt to wipe it out as with a
sponge in order 10 remove the 'op-
preston The bondholders were al
ways held up as greedy creatures who
had obtained an unfair advantage of
the people as a whole.

well. the Liberty loan now offers
the change to make the people and
the bondholders interchangeable
terms. The bonds are issued in such
way that the farmer and the wage
worker have exactly the same chance
as the banker to purchase and hold as
many or as few as they wish. No mat
ter how small a mans means, he can
get some part OF a bond il he wishes.
THE Government and the big fnan-
ciers are doing all they can to make
the sale as widely distributed as pos
sible. Some bankers are serving
without pay in the effort to put all
the facts before the people as a
whole, and so make the loan in very
truth a peoples loan. II rests with
the people themselves to decide
whether It shall be such.
Patriotic Duty to Boy.
THE Government must have the
money. II is a patriotic duty to pur-
case the bonds. And they offer an alb
soIutely safe investment. TIE money
invested is invested on the best Sc
curity in the world-that of the United
States, OF the American nation itself
The money cannot be lost unless the
United States is destroyed, and in
that case we would all be crushed
anyhow, so that 1t would not make
any difference.
The people can, IL they choose,
now make themselves the bondhold-
ers. II they do not so choose and II
they force Wall Street to become the
Isrgest purchaser of the bonds, which
must be bought somehow, then they
will have no right in the future TO
grumble about the bondholders as a
special class. We can now. all of us,
join that class II we wish

MAYOR VIEWS A CRAP GAME
Drafted Negroes Moan Over tho Roll

Mayor ]. II. simmons was an eye
witness to the biggest crap game"
that was ever staged in Tulsa last Sat
urday night, but he was forced to
stand peaceably by and refrain from
exercising the police power vested in
him as chief executive of the city.
When more than sixty negroes had
been gathered In an anteroom OF the
mayors office, and Ind been sworn
into federal service as part OF the
national draft army the big game
broke.
Every single negro. without the
exception of the lone deacon who had
been caught in the first draft, dropped
TO his knees and showing all available
coin in front OF them, began calling
for chance to make the cubes be-

Mayor Simmons declared yesterday
that Tulsa had reached n stage where
the supply OF gas was insufficient for
domestic consumption, and that pro-
vision must be made in the future
for burning other fuels.
TOO often have we found that our
fires which have resulted In property
loss have been due to the installation
of "a coal or wood stove in a gas flue.
The result is that the flue is not Of
sufficient size to carry off the gases
and smoke or heat which usually
escapes that way and fire results"

to change from a gas stove to a coal

ordinance would eliminate many Of

ular quarterly disbursements OF u
per cent on the common and 1 y per

earnings totalled S6S,243,7S4 as COM

S24,5b4 Is less by almost half that
shown three months ago. namely,
s40,965,761.
The falling off in business Is attrib-
uted largely to the lower prices paid
by the government for its supplies.
AS a matter of fact the earnings for
the third quarter compare favorably
with those of the three months imme-
diately preceding, which constituted a
record, The sum of s6S,24S,7S4 was
arrived at after appropriating S63,-
