the withdrawal of the Twenty sixth
United States infantry from the West
Virginia riot zone and its return to its

The situation in the West Virginia

There are now two regiments of reg
ulars in the West Virginia fighting
zone-the Twenty sixth infantry from
Camp Dix. n. J.. and the Nineteenth
infantry from Camp Sherman and Col
umbus barracks, Ohio. They have
field equipment and total about 1000
men.
War department officials said the
Twenty-si would be the unit with
drawn, leaving the Nineteenth on the
ground.
1t was plain today that the policy of
the administration is to keep the
troops in West Virginia no longer than
is absolutely necessary for the protec-
ton OF lives and property and the
suppression of insurrection.

Seating himself without assistance

Many murmured responses were heard
from different parts of the room. The

shock OF 10 seconds followed, though
the first would caused death, the men

Muskogee and buried. Blakey will
lay in local cemetery, thanks to

senate in its present form. II is not
unreasonable to expect that this win
be done, possibly with minority re-
port by Davidson.
In which event, the senate will
again be confronted with the necessity
of putting itself on record in regard
to deficiencies: Does it approve Of the
present practice and policy: will IL
adopt u plan calculated to remedy
the situation?
Since Democrats have an appreci-
able majority in the senate, the pub
lie is likely to regard the senate's
action ON this bill as the answer OF
the Democratic party OF the state to
these questions
The house yesterday passed the
senate joint resolution appropriating
$50 ,OOO for tick eradication in several
southeastern counties.
1t passed the following house ap-
preparation bills: For capitol mainte-
nance and printing for the board Of
affairs, $4,000; FOR the rophans' home
at Helena, $1,000 for the school for
the deaf at sulphur, $1,000. Al are

succeeded in amending the measure to
exempt those whose religious belief
forbade the use of medicine.
The senate yesterday voted the
emergency clause for the bin appro-
priating $4,000 for the Oklahoma Col
lege for Women at Chickasha. 1t
passed the bill creating bureau for
women and children in the state labor
department. the house bill exempting
the farmers union from the provisions
of certain insurance statutes in the
same way as the grange IS exempted,
and advanced number Of minor
measures.
At the time Of adjournment Jed
Johnsons bill to appropriate $4,000
for the treatment Of drug addicts was
under discussion. Senator Wallace
spoke against II, saying 1t would do
no good. Senators Johnson and Briggs,
Republicans, had spoken for it. No
action was taken.

Local bills and measures of minol
| consequence occupied much OF the
time Of both houses yesterday one
exception to this was the bill in
creasing the salaries of district anc
superior court judges, which was adj
vanced to third reading and passed
yesterday by the senate. The house
already had passed the bill. 1t in
creases the salaries of the judges tC
$4,000 year.
When the senate adjourned We'd
nesday night it was in the midst OF
a rather unfriendly discussion Of Sen
ator Harrisuns bill to restrict the
creation OF deficiencies. The senate
did not resume the discussion yester
day, but referred the bill to u special
committee composed Of Senators Dav
idson, Morton Rutherford, and Har-
rison, This action was taken, it is
understood. as the result of Demo-
cratic caucus. held before the senate
convened. The caucus. according IL
report, could not agree ON the bill, So
decided to have the committee thrash
out the difficulties and prepare the
measure for later presentation
II is likely the trouble is only post
poned by this plan. II is difficult TO
see how the bill can be made accept
able to all factions. As presented TO
the senate the other night, the meas
ure provided that the board which
should pass on the question Of whether
deficiency should be created, would
be composed of the governor, the at-
tOrney-general, the state treasurer,
the state examiner and inspector. and
the state auditor.
Now some Of the administration SEN
ators object to the auditor being a
member of the board because the
present governor and the present aud
itors are not in accord on many mat
ters Of financial policy, And some
nti-administration senators insist on
the auditor being on the board for
the same reason. Others. who dis
claim any bias, think the auditors
position is such that he should be
consulted in the creation OF deficien.
cies, and that friction between the
present offce-holders should be be
considered
Senator Harrison says the bill should
be passed with the provision for the
board membership unamended. While
he is not aligned as an enemy of
Governor Robertson or the Democratic
administration, Harrison does condemn
the deficiency policy that has been
followed in the past, and insists there
should be real check on the power
to issue deficiency certificates. Ruth
erford also, while not being accounted
an administration enemy. denounces
The present deficiency system and
seems TO favor the Harrison bill as it
is. Davidson attempted, when the bill
was being considered by the senate, TO
have the auditor stricken from the
board 1t is expected he will use his
efforts to this end in committee.
With two OF the three members OF
the special committee apparently in
clined to report the bill back to the
