Washington Feb. in. The after-
Math of the Mexican situation was at
I'und today. This the Ktatc depart-
irmt declared a Week ago contained
more elements of danger to Americans
and their property in the southern re-
public than than the actual struggle

Diaz.
The administration faced these mira-
tion today "Will the -provisional gov-
trnnientlu MexU.0 be able to enforc;
peace? Will It iriiore order iu Mex-
ico City? Does the removal or Ma-
duo mean the abandiii ment of scores
ci' revolutionary movements. In other
parts of 'he republic Will the new
ie iine assume responsibility for the
yiotcction of Americans and other for
tigners?"
Answers depended entirely upon de-
velopments In the future and for thai
reason there wa no let up in the it-
titude of preparedness for iminedia'c

Oklahoma City Feb. IS.Loslie-G.
N'iback editor cf the Cuihrie Leader
wanted as a witness in the Farris im-
peachment case before the senate had
not shown up at noon today although
when he passed through the city a few
days ago enroute to San Antonio Tex-
as he left a not sayin; he would be
here today. An attachment for liim
lias been issued but ic has been im-
possible to nerve it.
M. K. Trapp former state auditor
was an important witness last night
lie testified that Niblack had attempt-
ed to sell a quantity of copies of the
state constitution to the state twice.
The first time he ha-1 received pay
for the entire quantity but later Trapp
said Niblack had tried to sell to the
state a portion of them which he had
not delivered the first time.
Trapp testified that he had refused
to approve Niblack's bills for this
printing but later Meye.- had approv-
ed them. Asked if he ever had any
personal disputes with Niblack Trapp
replied that ho hud beefcuse he had
refused to approve ille.'.;;.! claims.
Niblack Is want"d to testify regard-
ing different claims he has .made
against the state in the name of the
(luthrie Leader Publishing company
which aggregate between $iionn and
$7000 and are referred to in tiie arti-
cles of impeachment charged against
Karris.
It was brought out iu the testimony
that the dutv of the claims made by
Niblack for some work he has done
for the state antedate the time the
forms on which they are made were
primed. Most of the claims in ques-
tion bear different dates during 19 lu
while it was testilied to by several
witnesses among them former State
Auditor M. K. Trapp former State
Treasurer J. A. Menofee and It. J.
Allen former chairman of the board
of affairs that the blank form on
which the claims were made were rat
printed until during the early part of
l!Mt. Some ( f thee it is said bear
tin; printed name of Leo Meyer as
tae auditor and Meyer was not in-
ducted in o office until January I'Jll.
The dates on these claims it is asiu
also antedate the induction into otfice
of Farris but bear his signature as
approving the amount ipecified in the
claims. Nearly all of these claims
which disclose this alleged discrep-
ancy iu dates are sworn" to by Nib
lack.
Farris contends these claims were
among the business of the office of
state printer which he inherited from
his predecessor and that in signing
thorn be merely approved the price
and that his signature under those
conditions did not carry with it an
approval of tbu woik on which the
claim was nmde.

when a warrant which it w as charged

tary public by the name of Foreman
from Gore Okla. testilied that lie had
taken the acknowkdgem.it of the
claim when it originally was made
tut for lift and that it had been

testified that the words "for stenog-
