OKLAHOMA T0L0SE:
SECURITY FUNDS.
Senator Thomas Says Board
Found 100000 Paid
Out Improperly.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Social Security Board has de-
cided to grant Oklahoma no more
funds until the States welfare system
has been reorganized, Senator
Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma said
yesterday.
He said he had learned in a con-
ference with the board that investiga-
tions thus far showed 100000 had
been paid out in the State to persons
not entitled to assistance. Some of
the checks were issued to dead men,
the board found
Senator Thomas said that, if the
Oklahoma welfare system were re-
organized and Federal aid resumed
the Federal grants would be curtailed
in an amount equal to the illegal
expenditures.
He said there was no question about
the board taking the steps he out
lined, but its decison would not be
announced until Tuesday.
Decision Not Yet Reached.
Frank Bane, executive director of
the Social Security Board, later issued
a statement that the board had not
yet reached decision regarding the
Oklahoma situation.
The Federal official said the board
would make its findings the first part
OF next week. He acknowledged that
Senator Thomas, Representative
Nichols, Democrat, Of Oklahoma and
others had discussed with board men,
bers potential plans for the future"
Senator Thomas declared:
"The board made no promise as
to when it would resume making
grants to the State, but indicated
clearly and definitely that no more
grants will be made until the State
set.up is so organized with q definite
and unrestricted power delegated by
the Welfare Commission to the di-
rector, and until the director has his
staff organized and equipped to do
the work eficiently and legally"
Assurances Necessary.
Senator Thomas said there was no
hope of obtaining further grants until
the State Commission also had salts
fed the Government that every one
now on the rolls In Oklahoma was
entitled legally to Federal help.
This requirement means that the
State must audit every file and certify
to the Federal Board that every per-
son on the rolls has been investiA
gated" .'
The Oklahoman said the State had
surplus funds which could be used for
honest recipients of assistance" until
the Federal conditions had been met.

PARTY CHIEF QUITS
IN PENNSYLVANIA
McCIoskey Resigns After
Slate Is Named-Win
Seen for Democrats.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,
Stan Correspondent OF The Star.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 90
Pennsylvania, the second most popu-
lous State in the Union, the old Key
state State, is the rich prize for which
the Republicans and the Democrats
will fight it out next November.
If by any chance the Republicans
could win, Pennsylvania would become
the keystone about which to rally for
the national campaign in 1910. If the
Democrats keep control here-and the
prospects for Democratic victory still
look very good-the picture would be
the reverse in 1910.
The Democratic State Committee,
dominated by a small group Of leaders,
has picked not very inspiring slate
for the State elections next fall-head-
ed by Gov. George H. Earle as candi.
date for Senator, and Charles Alvin
Jones, Pittsburgh lawyer, for Cover
nor. Presumably this slate will win
in the party primaries in May-al-
though there may be q stable fight
before it is all over.
Two Bosses Resign.
Tonight. "a hours after the selection
of Mr.. Jones, Matthew H. McCloskey,
jr., who with John B. Kelly, is CO.
leader of the party in Philadelphia,
resigned from the State Committee
and announced his retirement from
politics. Mr.. McCloskey wrote to State
Chairman David Lawrence:
Il have been accused by j. David
Stern, publisher of the Philadelphia
Record, Of trying to seize control of
the Democratic party from Senator
Guffey. This criticism is unjustified.
But I do not want to endanger the
success Of the party by creating dis
senSion. Therefore, I am giving up
all further political connection and
activity"
Said City Treasurer Luther A. Harr
shortly after Mr.. McCloskey resigned:
Il issue a solemn warning to the
Democratic party in this State that
our citizens will not tolerate at the
present time any more than they did
in the past. stooge candidates and
contractor bosses. They will not be
deceived because a party platform
gives lip service to liberalism"
