BACONE GRADUATES
Fiftieth Anniversary CeIebra-
toin Recalls Early Life of
Secretary of War.
BY the Associated Press.

by bHe ASSOClateu EIeSS.
MUSKCGEE, Okla, May 2s.-Twenty-
six years ago slender boy who had
spent much of his youth as q barefoot
toiler in Oklahoma coal mines was
Oldest advanced school In this State,
as valedictorian Of his class. On June
this same alumnus, Patrick ]. Hurley.
now Secretary of War, will speak at
the commencement services OF his alma
mater.
Celebrating the fiftieth anniversary
Of the college, a pageant, Oklahoma"
depicting early scenes in the States de-
velopment, will be presented next Mon
day.
Bacone is an Indian school and at
present there are 304 students, repre-
senting 80 tribes from IA States, en-
rolled. Hurley was the only white stu
dent in the class of 1905. The school
was founded by the Baptist Missionary
Society, which will celebrate its cen
tennial this year.
FuIfiIIs Mothers wish.
With announcement of the anniver-
sary celebration, Hurley'S eventful life
Is recalled. Orphaned at an early age,
the son Of Irish immigrants, young
Hurley set out to fulfill his mothers
dying wish that he obtain an education
and rise in the world.
The intervening years before he be-
came Oklahomas first cabinet repre-
sentative in Washington were packed
with unusual experiences. In his teens
Hurley was cowboy. He received the
major part Of his education in the In
dian college and became, successfully,
Indian tribal attorney, soldier, diplo-
mat and business man.
His services in the World War were
recognized by citation for gallantry
in action by Gen. Pershing and q Dis
tlnguished Service Medal. He was q
lieutenant colonel in the American Ex-
peditionary Forces.
Talent for Holding Friends.
The Secretary Of War was born Janu-
ary 8, 1883, in the Chcctaw Nation, In
dian Territory, which later became "a
part of Oklahoma.
A talent for holding friends was
pronounced in Hurley at an early age.
AS a tall, bronzed stripping Of about
IA, he presented himself to DR.. John
Fl. Scott, then president Of Bacone, and
made known his desire for an education.
The necessary arrangements were per-
fected, and young Hurley made his way
by selling clothes and working in the
college office.
His early association with the In
dians gave him an insight into their
psychology and he became o champion
of their rights. With the entrance Of
the United States into the World War
in 1917 he resigned his post as tribal
attorney and entered the Judge advo-
cate generals Office In Washington.
However, a swivel chair military life
did not satisfy him when there was q
war going on. He obtained papers for
his transfer overseas.
After the war he married and started
law practice at Tulsa.
