PLEASE
Mr. Auditor Bring Us Your
Books and Voucliers-
Stalus of Investigation
"Mr. Auditor of Oklahoma won't
you plcaso lot us sea yur books and
papers; wo won't hurt you." Such Is
the substance of the resolution adopt-
ed by the council after several hours'
debate at ttio expense of the taxpaj-
ers of the territory. Mated simply
the council is not angry because Hop-
kins failed to show his boolts and ho
will be given three days to bring In
what the investigation committee
wants
The discussion over the auditor's re
fuBal to produce his vouchers and war
rant stubs and a substitute by Wink
ler for tho eoniraltteo'a resolution was
continued nearly blithe afternoon of
yesterday and citations galoro were
produced showing the power of the
legislative body to be absolute In such
cases. It waB evident however dur-
ing the whole discussion that a
change was stealing over the dreams
of somebody and that the auditor
was about to win the first shir
tnisb and Ultimately the whole
field. There was that lack of nggros
siveness throughout the whole pro-
ceedings of the afternoon and evening
which characterized the discussion
Immediately after the auditor de-
clined to comply with the peremptory
demands of tho joint committee and
produce the papers called for mid It
was apparent all through the discus-
sion that Auditor Hopkins had won
tho victory and the committee were
merely skirmishing along the lines In
order to find a way of rctroat. Jt
would hardly be just to include Sen-
ators Clarke and Thacker in tho cate
gory of dismuonted troopers and es-
pecially the former as a member of
the joint committee who Insisted to
the last that the legislature had the
power to enforce its demands and
should not hesitate now that it had
entered upon the investigation Clarke
insisted that the committu should be
sustained by the council and that
the Winkler whereases and and rcsoln
tion was a complete backing down
and was disrespectful to the commit-
tee; that in all that the uommiHeo
had done it was by the direct instruc-
tions of the council. Thero was some
anxiety as to the position of Senator
Havens who had up to this time bcon
persistent for the most rigid investi-
gation; but when ho arose and an-
nounced that he would support tho
Winkler resolution the bottom fell
out of tho whole thing witi a crash.
Tho council thon look a recess until
7 30 p. m
NIOIIT SESSION.
The council met sharply at 7:30 and
was called to order by tho president.
Tho discussion over tho Winkler sub-
stitute was continued for a short time
but it was so ev dent thst tho auditor
hadwonard the c until had surren-
dered that but littlo intcre t was m m-
ifested by the members or the npeotu
t rs who had assembled in tho gallery
to hear what they had expected to bo
a llvoly and interesting deba-e.
