The most far reaching orders were
asked in the cement cases. The stipu-
lation merely provides that the cement
companies will dispose of the cases by
payment of a sum of money into the
school fund. On the other hand the
attorney general agrees to dismiss his
former charges and to approve con-

One provision of the stipulation is
said to enjoin use by the cement COM

REGARDING CLEMENCY TO
MEN SERVING SENTENCE

In the Ladies Home Journal of
April, 1914, is found an article by
President Taft in which he said: "One
never knows until he has been in the
Presidency the amount of pressure
that is brought in one way and an
other to stay prosecutions and to par
don criminals. had two cases before
me in which was represented that
both the convicts were near death.
Examinations were made by the Army
Medical Corps, watches were estab-
lished and it was reported that both
were in the last stages of fatal
disease. One of them died soon after
he was released. Another of them
is apparently in excellent health and
seeking to reestablsh himself in the
field in which he committed a peni-
tentiary offense. This shakes ones
faith in expert examination" 1t
would look like President Taft
thought some one had put up a job
on him. 1t would be interesting to
have his opinion of Doughcrty. but he
declines to be quoted-the refuge of
the man who has nothing good to
say.

MAD DOG SCARES ARE
EXPECTED IN HOT DAYS
Valuable Dogs May Be Protected bv

(Dr. A. r. Lewis, Commissioner n
Healthy
with the coming of hot weather
there is liable to be in scattered To-
callties over the state, more or less
of a scare, over rabies or hydropbo-
bia.
There is less reason for such a
scare than is generally believed, al
tho hydrophobia is one of the most
terrible and dredded diseases, and mo
precaution should be omitted when
there is any reason to suspect its
existence.
There is really no more actual dan
ger Of rabies in hot weather than in
cold. Dogs, like human beings, are
liable to be more irritable in hot
weather, in fact they are.
Records of the State Health De-
partment show more cases of rabies
during some of the comparatively
cold months than in summer.
A dog that bites anyone, when
there is the least suspicion of rabies,
should be destroyed, care being taken
to preserve the head, which should
be Immediately packed in ice and
saw dust and expressed to the State
Laboratory in Oklahoma CITY. II
will be examined and report sent out
to interested parties. If the head
shows that the dog had rabies, the
Pasteur Treatment should be taken
at once. This treatment is furnish
ed free by this Department to all
INDECENT persons and consists of 21
doses to be taken 2 doses 1st and

Of infection.
During the last year this depart
ment sent. out 271 treatments and out
Of all cases of rabies in Oklahoma
there were only four deaths, showing
the efficiency of the treatment.
Persons owning valuable dogs may
protect them against rabies by a sin
gle injection Of a properly prepared
canine rabies vaccine.
1t is recommended that as soon as
possible after rabid dog has been
at large, the vaccine be administered
to all dogs in infected districts whose
ownership is acknowledged. Unclaim-
ed or tramp dogs to be humanely de-
stroyed or impounded.

Senator Caraway Demands Resigna-
tion OF Attorney General.
Especial Correspondent
Washington, D.. c., May 29-When
Senator Caraway rose in his place in
the Senate on May and charged that
Attorney General Daughterty receiv-
ed a few for helping C. W. Morse
to make his getaway from the Allan
ia penitentiary during Taft's admins
tration, Senator "Jim Watson of
Indiana made haste to defend Daugh-
erty and to deny the whole story. He
did this on the word and authority
Of Daugherty, he said.
On May 90 Senator Caraway had
printed in the Congressional Record
letter which Daugherty had written
Morse demanding balance of $685.
600 due on contract. The Washing
ton News on that day printed a pho
tographic copy of the letter bearing
Daugherty's signature; as we'll as a
copy of the contract which made with
Thomas B. Fielder of Atlanta, who
brought Daugherty into the case be-
cause of his relations with the Presi-
dent of that time-Taft. While the
contract is made by Fielder, it provid-
ed for a retainer of $4,000 for Daugh-
erty. and expenses, with an addition
al $25.000 in case of Morse's release
being obtained.
Senator Caraway. who has done the
people the service of exposing Daugh-
erty's action in contract with this
man, who was a convict felon, agree
ing to relieve him from his very pro-
per punishment through his influence
with the President, stated that the
only decent course left open to Daugh-
erty was to resign. OF course the
man who put this job over a Presi-
dent is not the sort who will resign
and the present incumbent at the
White House hasn't enough of the
Roosevelt spirit to fire him, as he so
richly deserves. Of course Morse did
not pay the $4,000. but proceeded
to organize new companies which
caught and obtained Government con-
tracts and is again in the tolls for
alleged frauds on the government.
