\t 3 O'clock Thin Aflcrnon the
Jury In the Tom DeWitt Case
Had Been Out Four Hours
It looks as if the jury in the case
of State vs. Tom-DeWitt will also
agree to disagree.
At 3:30 thi^afternoon, after being
out about four hours, it had failed
to come to an agreement.
DeWitt is on trial for assault with
intent to kill Ernie Green, his
brother-in-law. The evidence dis-
closed that there was considerable
trouble between the DeWitt and
Green families,iwhich culminated in
this shooting in July, 1916. Ernie, it
was claimed by the defense went to
the DeWitt place hunting trouble.
The re was no; dispute that DeWitt
shot him in the back while he (Ernie)
was running, bi^t DeWitt claimed he
thought Green was running to get
a gun to come back and shoot up the
DeWitt family, so he "beat him to it"
by delivering the two loads of shot
into him.
Fine arguments were made' by
Attorneys Ralph Hardie, J. B. Dudley
and Oliver Kennedy for the defense,
and equally strong by Ben Williams
: nd County Attorney Cheatwood for
the prosecution. There were many
witnesses, and much bitter feeling
has been engendered in Etowah com-
munity by the case.
The jury is aa follows:
Tom Giles, S. W. Redwine, C. F.
Cox, Z. T. Ilayue, C. H. Brand, J. D.
\nderson, II. C. Kasbaum, T. N.
Shockley, J. R. Caskey. J. J. Ward

NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME
Get Busy During This Period, for
It Is the Period When Votes
Count the Most—See Your
Friends Today.
The standing of candidates when
the campaign closes will depend upon
the showing they make from now un-
til March 17th. Never again will as
many votes be given as during this
period, and The Transcript guaran-
tees that ten times as many votes
will be allowed during the * period
mentioned in the foregoing as dur-
ing the last period.
Think what it will mean to a can-
didate to secure a lead of several dol-
lars in subscriptions and maintain it
throughout. Some will squeeze the
: last drop of action out of every
moment These are the ones that
will wish they had got busy sooner,
after they find the territory had been
covered.
The field in which candidates may
work is unlimited. By this we mean
that rural candidates may work on
the routes and also in Norman, and
vice versa. SEE YOUR FRIEND
TODAY? TOMORROW MAY BE
TOO LATE. No one can hope to
succeed who keeps putting off. Time
and tide wait for no man. While
some are thinking others are forg-
ing ahead and amassing votes which
are the only asset necessary to win.
Five weeks from today the con-
test yvill close, and six babies will win
handsome prizes. Some larger than
i others, but each and everyone en-
: tered will be sure of a square deal.
Count the days from now until

, every effort to secure the number of
subscriptions you think will be above
j the average.

Appropriations Are Going Through
for University, and Oklahoma
State Hospital—Big Build-
ing Bocjfn Promised.
Mr. J. William Cordell writes the
Oklahoma. Daily from Oklahoma City
as follows:
"Indications that every appropria-
tion asked for by the university from
the present session of the state leg-
islature will be passed are exception-
ally good judging from the lack of
, position being met by the bills. The
maintenance appropriations of $7(54,-
000 for the next two years have al-
ready passed both houses, received
the signatures of the speaker of the
1 ouse and the president of the sen-
ate. and were Thursday transmitted
"■ vernor for his signature. •
"House bill number 505 for a $150,-
000 l uditorium <md house bill num-
ber 109 for a $75,000 library building
wp.s Thursday reported by the senate
appropriations committee, passed its
third reading, and is now ready for
final roll call vote.
"House bill number .'587, appropria-
ting $100,000 for a geology building is
ready for final roll call in the house.
Senate bill number 4*50, an appro-
priation for maintenance of the geo-
logical survey was passed by the sen-
ate Thursday.

1 ill number 36(5, Thursday passed the
I'ouse and its first reading in the
senate. This institution will be located
at Oklahoma City, but will be a de-
partment of the University of Okla
homa.
"A bill was passed by the house
Fhursday creating a state bureau of
weights and measures with an ap-
propriation of several thousand dol-
ors. This bureau will be estab-
lished at the university in conjunc-
tion with the college of engineering."
Thus it will be seen that the state
hi to spend something like $350,000 in
Norman in connection with new
buildings for the University of Okla-
homa, besides the $764,000 mainten-
ance appropriations for the next two
years.
Something like $100,000 4has been
appropriated for a fine new adminis-
tration building for the Oklahoma
Staie Hospital, besides several hun-
dred thousand dollars for main-
tenance, and $20,000 for the purchase
of the E..B. Johnson farm to be added
to the landholdings of the state in
connection with that institution. A
bill has also been put through desig-
nating the Oklahoma State Hospital
as the "Central Hospital of Oklaho-
ma," which means that it will always
be the principal institution of its
kind in Oklahoma. Great improve-
ments on grounds and buildings at
this institution are contemplated,
and in time it will be one of the larg-
est and most complete "institutions
of its class in the Southwest.
These appropriations and the large
amounts of money they will bring to
Norman will greatly encourage erec-
tions of new residence and
store buildings, a large num-
ber of which are already in
course of construction, with many
more projected. The building boom
in residences and private buildings
promises to be very large during the
coming year.
Altogether, no small city in Okla-
homa has a more promising future
>han Norman, and its excellencies
have only to be investigated to be
recognized. In every way "The
I nivei: ity City" is coming to the
frtmt.

Scores of the New Coats and

Suits have arrived

One great advantage in buying early this season, £
is in the security of getting correct style
f
The best makers are way behind in their orders and
give little encouragement to those who did not order
early. There's a demand for coats and suits from one
end of the country to the other this spring.
Take these two Wooltex models, for instance—just
two picked by chance from the ones we were early
enough to secure from The H. Black Company of New
York and Cleveland, originators of the Youthful Idea
in coats and suits for all women.
Artenay—Quite aside from the charming, dining lines
of this new model, there is a feature every will hail with
delight— the coat is finished, unlined, just as u man's
summer coat (for which feature, by the way, he pays
extra at every fashionabel tailor). This is an invova-
tion in women's clothing, exclusive to The H. Black Com-
pany's Wooltex line.
Vatlly—A two-button Norfolk model of trim, jaunty
lines. The jaunty appearance of this suit is obtained by
the tailored collar and the patch pockets. Note the
harmony of line between jacket and skirt—a feature of
skilled tailoring.
