BIC CUT IN NAVY
Maximum Enlisted Strength at
10000 Less Than Asked.
Graduating Glass Commission
Number Is Cut in Half.

Washington. March 22.=President
Harding demanded Of congress today
that 1t appropriate enough money to
maintain an American navy up to the
maximum strength authorized under
the conference trea ties.
Word went from the White House
to the capital that there must be kept
in commission an eighteen battleship
fleet, with all auxiliaries and properly
manned to give the fleet the highest
efficiency. This would require an en-
listed strength of about $4,000 men
and $500 officers.
The house naval committee agreed
today to a report a bill fixing the
maximum authorized enlisted strength
of the navy at 10000, plus 5000 ap-
prentices. or 10000 less than the num-
Der Secretary DENLY declared was
needed to operate the skeleton fleet.
The bill also provides that not more
than 200 members of each graduating
class at the navy academy shall be
commissioned this year, in 1928, and
1924. There are Sal members of the
first class at the academy to be grad
uated in June.

He has been a resident of Oklahoma
since 1893. Governor Robertson was
/ born in Keokuk county. Iowa. in 1871,
residing there until he removed to this
state.
Charged With Bribe Before.
The indictment accusing Governor
Robertson of connection with alleged
illegal transactions in connection with
the failure of the Bank of Commerce
at Okmulgee, is not the first time his
name has been linked with the Ok
mulgee bank situation.
In a sensational report returned by
the investigation committee of the
house of the eighth Oklahoma legis-
lature on March 81 of last year, the
governor was charged with having ac-
cepted bribe for misuse of his Off
cial powers in alleged illegal transac-
tions involving the Guaranty State
bank of Okmulgee.
HIS impeachment was recommended
but in spectacular scene in which a
Democratic member of the house was
brought to the chamber in an ambu-
lance to vote, the body rejected the
committee report AZ to AZ.

and a large stockhoIder in the Guar
anty State bank.
In this connection the report de-
clared that the Guaranty State bank
of Okmulgee was nearing insolvency
in the fall of 1920, and that Fred
Dennis, in an attempt to save the
bank, deposited in it $500 of state
money. The same day John Reboldi
gave Dennis a check for $4,000 of
which Dennis later gave the governor
one-third, according to the report.
The money paid Dennis was said to
have been for an oil lease sold by
Dennis and the governor.
Paid Him for "Nothing.'
The report then asserted that the
committee was of the opinion that
The lease sold by Dennis to Rebold
was a that time. as both Dennis and
Rebold knew, not worth one dollar an
acre, and that the sale of this lease, if
such sale was made, was a pretext to
cover up corrupt transa ction in
which Rebold paid $25,0OO, and in
which the governor participated to
have his bank passed without criti-
cism and to receive this additional
$15O.OOO of state money"
The report then recounted the facti
that the banks condition became so
serious that it was consolidated with
the Bank of Commerce now defunct.
