Requisition Issued
Oklahoma City A requisition has
• been issued -on Governor Colquitt of
Texas for W. A. Savage, wanted in
Grady county on a charge of obtain-
ing money under false pretenses.
Savage is charged with defrauding
Bob Boswell out of $25 on a worthless
check on the Amarillo Bank and Trust
company of Amarillo, Texas. He is
now under arrest at San Antonio,
Tex.
Rule Is Flexible
Oklahoma City—The county clerk of
Woods county notified the state audi- |
tor's office that tbe county commis-
sioners of that county had made an |
order directing him to apportion the
$4,000,000 increase made by the state,
board of equalization on the valuation
of Woods county over all classes of
property except money and credits,
without regard to the increases or de-
creases in the various classes made
by the state board. He was advised
that the commissioners had authority
to apportion the increase only within
the class for which the increase was
made and could not change the total
for each class fixed by the state
board.
Oklahoma City—Airing of the
charges against the state board of
education is now on hearing before
Governor Cruce. Or. Henry Meier,
deposed by the board as head of the
department of German at the state
university, who is now employed in
the same department at •Vanderbut
university, Nashville, Tenn., was the
only witness examined at the first
session. His direct examination was
concluded just before adjournment.
He will be subjected to cross-examina-
tion when the hearing is resumed.
Governor Cruce had stated at the
beginning of the hearing that this is
not to be a "muckraking proposition
and that he wouic "ot consider
charges against the character of any
employe ot a state school unless it
could be shown that members of the
board knew of conditions at the time
the appointment was made. Meier s
testimony was calculated to show that
such knowledge was inthe possession
of some members of the board in
both of those cases.
The hearing was opened with a
statement from Governor Cruce, in
which he announced that he would
not be bound by technical rules of
' evidence, but would try to get at t.ie
facts in any manner possible, so far
as they affect members of the board.

Tuberculosis Patients Neglected.
Out Qt more than 225 public hos-
pitals for the Insane, with a popula-
tion or fully 150,000, only 70, or less
than one-third, make any provision
for their tuberculous .Inmates, and
this, too, 111 Bpito of the fact that the
percentage of deaths from this dis-
ease Is very high among this class of
people. Such is the substance of a
statement made recently by the Na_
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis. Seventy
hospitals In 28 states, providing all
told about 3,350 beds for tuberculous
Insane patients, sums up the provision
made for this class of sufferers, al-
though the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis aqaong the insane ranges
from 50 to 200 per cent, higher than
among the general population.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA
"While attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio in 1S82, 1 became afflicted with
boils', which lasted for about two
years, when the affliction assumed the
loriu o£ an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being inflamed
most of tho time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin, and 1
at times the whole lower part of my |
face would be a solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fai t
got worse all the time, so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest it
prove fatal.
"During all this time of boils and
eczema I doctored with the best pby-
