Governor ]. B. A. Robertson. in a
letter today to Superior Court
Judge II. Il. Christopher at chi

after it had been demanded in res

dismissal of the grand jury which
was about to complete an investi-
cation into affairs of the defunct
Rank of Commerce there.
In his letter, the governor said:
"As governor of this state it is
my duty TO see that all laws are
enforced and to protect the Off
GERS who discharge their duty. /
that you have made an hon
and conscientious judge; that

Judge Christopher's action in
dissolving the grand jury precipl-
tated a demonstration of protest
led by County Attorney James
Hepburn at Okmulgee, who charS-
cd that the judge had been inflG-
enced by sinister motives" He
declared that within two hours the
grand jury would have retnrled
indictments against several state
officials and prominent Okmulgee

OPERATING INCOMES
OF RAILROADS, 1921

Washington, Feb. 26,--Net oper-
ating incomes Of railroaGs in the
United States, sum available for
interest, dividends, rentals and sur
plus of the corporations owning
the property, amounted for 1921 to
$615, 5,625,619, according to compi-
laticns made for and issued today
by the Association Of Railway eX-
ecutives. This was computed by
the association to represent returns
of 3.31 per cent on the tentative
valuation fixed upon all railroad
property by the Interstate Com
merce commission and covered re-
ports from all of the 20f class enc
railroads which operate the great
est proportion of American railway
mileage.
For December, 1921, the net op-
Grating income of the roads, not
considering returns of the Detroit,
Toledo and trenton, was $51,510,-
47S, estimated to represent an av-
erage rate Of 3,44 per cent on the
aggregate capital.
The total operating revenues for
1921 was gwen as $5,5G9, ,SS8,000,
or 1916 per cent less than the total
for 1920 and total operating eX-
penses were $4,602, ,425,000, a de-
crease of 21.1 per cent.

bills to be sent throughout the
country, it was stated, to supple
ment the information regarding
the missing man already distribut
ed broadcast through news dis
patches and police bulletins.
This announcement was made b :.
Herman Cline. police detective,
who pointed out that while no re-
ward was offered for the location
of Sands, against whom a felony
charge is on file here, rewards
totaling $4,500 had been offered for
information leading to the arrest
and conviction of the murderer.
Run Down Many Tips.
1--WE have run down tip after tip
without results" said Cline. Now
we will concentrate upon finding
Sands, with the hope that we shall
either prove correct our first sus-
picions that he has information
bearing on the crime or eliminate
him"
Immunity from prosecution on
the felony charge recently was Of
fered to Sands by Thomas Lee
Woolwine, district attorney, If
Sands would make good q promise
contained in an anonymous letter,
purporting to have been dictated
by him. that he would clear up the
mystery.
Cline returned here today from
San Francisco. where he went to
check up information that on the
night OF the murder Los Angeles
woman had telephoned to friend
in the northern city tina. che was
"in trouble, He said he could find
no record of such a call in either
Los Angeles or San Francisco.
Enforced Holiday.
Absence of anything approach
ing what they termed "toe hold
in the way of a clew, caused sher-
ifs deputies and distri~t attorneys
agents to take an enforced holiday
in the investigation today.
Police Sergeant Jack Etelzreide
was reported tonight to have gone
to San Francisco to search for a.
woman to whom three telegrams
bearing on the Taylor case were
said to have been sent on the night
the director was murdered, and one
on the next day.
