cislon of the state supreme court,

"wiIIfuI neglect of duty, Incompetency,
corruption in office, and offenses in
voIving moral turpItude." has been
submitted to the lower house Of the
Oklahoma legislature by its committee
on Investigation and Impeachment.
The report sets out - specific
charges In support Of the general ac-
cusation. Among the more important
are:
That the governor used the author
ity Of his office for his personal gain.
That he abused the pardon and pa
role powers vested in him In order
that his friends might collect "lucra-
tive fees" for obtaining the relase Of
persons In the state ~penItentiary.
That he collected a sum Of money
by threatening to veto an a%ppropris-
ton FOR a state school passed by the
last legislature.
That he submitted a false report Of
his expenses In the election campaign.
That he had his personal chauffer
placed on the payroll Of the state
health department.
That he dispersed by use Of military
forces, n grand Jury legally called to
inquire into his official acts.
That he placed portions Of the state,
and later the whole state, under mar
tial law when no need existed. and that
during he period OF martial law he
suspended the privilege Of the writ of
habeas corpus and placed a censor
ship upon the press.
That he caused a "Iarge number of
persons" to be placed on the state pay
roll although such persons rendered
little or no service to the state.
That he issued two deficiencies GER
~tificates tOtallng $4,000 in violation
Of law.
That he appointed many special Of
ficers and attempted to authorize
such persons to carry arms without
legal right to do 50.
That he had refused to permit the
execution Of the law imposing the
death penalty for crimes committed
within the state.
A bill of Impeachment, attached to
the report, set out In detail the various
charges against the executive.
A delay Of several days In the Inn
parchment program Is seen, when the
lower house voted tn read all the testi-
mony received by Its committee Of in
vestigation and Impeachment before
voting on the acceptance Of the com
mittee's report. It was estimated that
several hundred thousand words were
included In the voluminous Transcripts
from which the tetImony will be read.
Under this procedure. a vote on the
charges which formed the basis for a
bill OF impeachment against Governor
]. G. Walton laid before the house
earlier in the day by Its committee on
investigation and impeachment, is not
expected for several days.

The bunkhouse at the Dunwell mine on Glacier creek was com- pie ely destroyed by fire just be- fore noon on March IA, a defective flue being responsible for the blaze. Charlie Bibeau and Tommy Finne- gdn, who were on the graveyard shift in the mine, were asleep in the house when the fire started and were somewhat scorched be. fore reaching open air. Charlie lost his watch but saved his blan- kets and his life, and he says that's some; hing. The other men of the mine crew lost everything they had in the place. One-half of the crew came to town to await the construction of a new bunkhouse, work on which has already com menced Temporary quarters were pr ovided for the others, and min ing has continued.

INDEPENDENCE
 PASSES BEYOND
 PROSPECT STAGE

Enthused by the volume and apparent richness of the ore body opened up this winter in the Inde- pendence tunnel, ard speaking in superlativc terms of the work ac- comphshed by Owney McFadden and Eli Watland under trying con- ditions, s. P. Fitzgerald is back from visit to the property, which he thoroughly sampled. Sam is strong in his praise of the accom- plishments performed by the two husky miners, going so far as to say that in his opinion they have established a record for the district in the amount of actual develop- ment done during the time they took to drive l50 feet and pack in all their supplies on their backs.
 So far as the ore showing is concerned, he has no hesitation in placing the Independence beyond the prospect stage. The crosscut at the face of the l50-foot tunnel shows g feet of ore, with only one wall in sight, and in fact all the work, with the exception of a smallsdyke, shows ore of apparent high milling grade. At this writ ing he has not received returns on the samples taken from 100 feet of the work, but the mineral in the ore shows for itself and there is no question as to its being of commercial value.
