ST. CLAREIS BOUND
OVER AFTER HEARING
Little Effort Needed by Pros
ecution; New Charges Of
Forgery to Be Filed.

Only few moments sufficed yes
terday morning for the preliminary
hearing of Francis NJ. st. Claireis. who
was summarily bound over for trial
on n charge of having sworn falsely
to the age of l5-year-ol Gaynell Gar
riott in order TO procure a license to
marry her. His bond was fixed at
$4,000. which he was unable TO make.
The quicker you plead guilty and
get In the penitentiary the quicker
you will get out" was the parting
shot which Justice Lee Daniel offered
the prisoner at the conclusion of the
hearing.
st. Claireis attempted to make 4
defense by saying that he thought the
girl was 20 years old when he sworc
to 1t on the marriage license. He
claims that she represented herself to
him as 20.
Damaging Letter.
In rebuttal. Carter Smith. assistant
prosecuting attorney. put Mrs. ]. T.
Garriott, the girls mother, on the wit
ness stand. Mrs. Garriott testified
that she had told st. Claireis that her
daughter was too young to be keep
ing company" She also produced let
ters received from the clipping pair. in
which st. Claireis admitted that he
knew his wife was only Is and fur
thermore that he was only 10. instead
of % as he had sworn.
The girl wife did not take the wit
ness stand.
1t was announced yesterday from
the office Of the prosecuting attorney
that additional charges will be filed
against st. Claireis in the near future
1t is claimed that he forged several
checks on merchants In Tulsa, one Of
whom expressed his desire yesterday
to prosecute the man.
All I'm all. st. Claireis seems to be
in for long seance. II is the opin-
lon OF many that the defendant sworc
falsely on the witness stand yesterday.
and that his high sounding name,
Francis Maurice st. Claireis Is In
reality an alias.

CITY FATHERS REFUSE
FRYE & SON CONTRACT
Explain That They Want the
Work Completed at Earl
lest Possible Time.

Mayor John II. Simmons and the
board OF city commissioners yesterday
morning refused to oward to c. o.
and II. Frye. a contract for the con-
struction of a five-foot storm sewer
in Factory addition, even tho their
bid was more than SIPS less than the
bid offered by C. S. Sigler, who Sc
cured the contract.
When Mayor Simmons and the
commissioners voted to award the
contract to Sisler. even tho his bid
was higher than that offered by Frye
&Son. c. o. Frye Immediately left the
commissioners chamber and went in
search Of legal advice. This was not
secured. however. until the commis-
sioners had adjourned.
Mr.. Frye, however. returned with
his lawyer. who attempted to show
the city fathers that under provisions
of the city charter they were obliged
to award the contract to the lowest
and best bidder.
The point raised by the commits
sioners. who had awarded another
contract of approximately $4,000 to
Frye & Son earlier in the morning. was
that they wanted all work completed
at the earliest possible moment. and
they wanted Frye & Son to complies
the work they had bid in. while Sigler
was working on the Factory addition
sewer The matter probably will be
held up until an opinion can be rend-
cred by the city's legal department.

spite the fact that custer proceedings

In the suit filed Thursday the at
torney-general asked that the sheriff

tain under provision Of the new at
torney- generals bill" the judge of the
supreme court will appoint a tempo
rary successor to Mccullough.
This successor will serve until after
the trial of Mccullough. who will re-

OWEN APPEALS TO WILSON

From The Worlds Bureau,

WASHINGTON. July 6.-Senator
Owen has made a personal appeal to,
President Wilson for clemency for
Andrew j. Dowd of Fort Smith, Ark,
who was convicted of fraudulent en-

convicted and sentenced to seven
years in the federal penitentiary and

RED CROSS SENDS OUT
CALL TO u. S. NURSES
Enrolment Simplified So That
Many May Make Ready
for War Service.

Jane Delano. executive chairman of
the Red Cross nurses of America, has
sent forth, for the second time, a call
to the registered nurses OF America
to enroll 1 nthe American Red Cross
Nurses Association and make ready
for service at the battlefront in Eu-
rope.
The fact was announced in the reg
ular monthly meeting of registered
nurses Il, Tulsa on Thursday night by
the state president. Mrs. Kate Scott.
who leaves early next week to meet
the other members Of the Oklahoma
state executive board and completa
arrangements whereby the act of en-
rolling as Red Cross nurse may be
shortened and simplifed. Heretofore
1t has been necessary for a registered
nurse wishing to belong to the Red
Cross Nurses association to Join IN
organization which affiliates with the
Red Cross. The method has been
somewhat complicated. Wishing to
get all possible recruits as quickly as
possible, the American Red Cross
Nurses association has now abandoned
much of the routine and quickened
the process.
Mrs. Scott sees in the nurses pro-
fession great opportunity for serv-
Ice. Should the war last two or
three of four years. the drain on the
profession in this country will be enor-
NOUS" said Mrs. Scott, "and young
girls who wish to serve their country
and make an excellent livelihood at
the same time, should take up the
profession without delay. Someone
must take care of the sick who stay
at home"
There are between fifty and sixty
registered nurses in Tulsa. the greater
number of whom will undoubtedly join
the Red Cross Nurses association in
the very near future

IF ONE IS GUILTY, SAY SU

Persons who are hailed before the

for by r. Sawyer, arrested Thursday
evening on n charge Of being in;oxi-
Gated and arraigned yesterday after
noon in municipal court.
In case Of intoxication where no
unusual circumstances feature, the
court Is prone to assess a nominal
fine of $40. Where pleas of not
guilty are voiced and testimony tends
to shatter such pleas the court al
ways adds to the fine. Such was
Sawyer's fate. He drew fine of $40.

A $IO0 FINE FOR PR0WLING

A fine Of 500 was the penalization
handed down by the municipal court
yesterday afternoon In the case OF
L. A. Kincade. who was arrested at
West Tulsa Thursday evening by Pa
trolmn Holderman. Testimony tended
to prove the prisoner had sought the
aid of a small boy in entering house
book.
That Kincade had done but little
manual labor since residing in Tulsa
and that he had been arrested many
times for intoxication was the con-
tention of the officers.
