For Christ's sake, if not for mine, don't send me to jail," cried Will S. Da- vidson, an elderly white man, residing at Roper, when Judge W. E. Fort imposed a fine of $50 and a Jail sentence of five days for contempt of court. Firmly but kindly Judge Fort told the defendant that the sentence would stand and that much as he regretted to place him in jail the offense and the circumstances leading up to it made 1t imperative that the court take this action.
 Some weeks ago Davidson was con- victed before Judge Fort on a charge of assault and battery, but on account of his plea that he could furnish additional testimony, Judge Fort suspended sen tence, and set the hearing of the motion for yesterday.
 According to the evidence of court off cials yesterday, Davidson accosted sev- eral witnesses for the state who had tes- tified against him, in the lobby adjoining the courtroom and made divers threats against them if they again testified against him.
 He was immediately arrested and takt

before Judge Fort. The evidence of the officers was to the effect that Davidson threatened to kill certain witness if he testified against him. This was denied by the defendant who, however, admitted he had stated he would give the witness "hell'' if he swore falsely against him.
 Davidson is said to be a man of consid- erable means and offered to pay the fine if Judge Fort would remit the jail sen- tence. This Judge Fort refused to do and set the hearing of the motion for new trial on Davidson's former conviction for next Tuesday, when the Jail sentence will have expired

N Haskell and associates leases on about 5000 acres in the Cordova field. The Oklahoma operators have developed this land and have struck oil in quan- titles that may be productive of lu- crative returns.
 But, if the facts are as Mrs. Davis contends, the Pratt company clearly had no right to lease the lands to any group of oil operators.
 Under the lease the Oklahoma inter- ests were to get z of the revenues that any well might produce, and the Pratt company was to receive 1s.

In a Way President Said to Have Solved" Mexican
 Problem
PERSHING'S TROOPS
 TO BE BROUGHT OUT
Border Will Be Guarded and Warning Factions Allowed to Exterminate Themselves, But America
 Will Remain at Peace
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, January 6.-(Special) President Wilson has solved the prob lem of how effectively to get rid of venustiano Carranza without the neces- sity of proceeding against him by force of arms.
 The plan, it is indicated, is to with draw the Pershing column, and give Generals Villa and Diaz free rein in their purpose of extermination. In other words, this government would win a complete victory in it's Mexican dispu- tation by permitting rival factions to destroy each other.
 The proposal--not yet announced does not contemplate even g. nominal alliance with the bandit who sacked Columbus. As matter of fact, it Is un- derstood that the United States will maintain it's border patrol to prevent another incursion on the part of that bandit. This government will take pains to avoid the necessity of again ordering it's soldiers to capture Villa, dead or alive"
 WILL RECALL TROOPS
  the President will recall the Pershing coIumn--this despite the fact that Car ranza has rejected the peace pact en- tered into by his agents and American diplomats.
 For sometime-for some months, as a matter of fact--the "get Villa" order has been dead letter The futility of maintaining the Pershing force on Mexican soil under orders to remain at rest has been recognized. It is pointed out that the government does not in tend to subject the Mexican problem to the arbitrament of arms and that it does not intend to make a real effort to capture Villa. There is nothing left to be done, therefore, save the recall of General Pershing.
 As is remembered, General Funston, during the presidential campaign, recommended the recall of Pershing. For obvious reasons, the suggestion was not then acceptable to the admin istration.
 HANDS OFF" POLICY
 AS to what the result of hands off" policy will be. no one in Washing ton ventures a guess. Carranza has claimed that if the American soldiers are withdrawn, he can make quick work of Villa. On the other hand, Villa has repeatedly declared that if the United States would withdraw it's as- sistance from Carranza, the de facto chieftain would be easily eliminated.
 It is indicated that the United States will give each side it's desire. Carranza has been recognized. Ameri- can soldiers will be removed from Mexican soil. The sacking of Colum- bus, the treachery of Carranzistas at Carrizal and all other anti-American outrages will be forgotten--possibly officially forgiven. The United States
