Guthrie, Okla., Jan. 15. — The sen-
ate today passed a bill providing for
a state board of agriculture of ten
members to be elected by the peo-
ple. two from each supreme court
district, all to be farmers of at least
five years experience. Immediately
after the first election the board is to
divide itself into five groups, the
first group to serve one year, the
K'.cond two years and so on to the
fifth group, which will serve five
years. At each annual state insti-
tute thereafter two members shall be
il?cted for five years. The govern-
or shall appoint the president of the
board to serve until 1910 and there-
after he shall be elected to serve

The regular annual session of the
board is to be held at the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college at Still-
water.
A bill by Eggerman which will en-
able officers easily to get service up-
on officers of corporations or others
was passed in the senate committee
of the today. It provides that
service in civil cases may be had
cither in person or by leaving a copy
at the usual place of residence with
some member of the family more
than 15 years old.
The prohibition enforcement bill
occupied the entire day in the house
and the dispensary feature was pass-
ed in committee of the whole with-
out material amendments, after a
fight had been made to separate it
from the rest of the bill so that it
might not be classed as emergency
legislation and that the people might
have a right to apply the referendum
tn it.
A successful fight was made

Guthrie, Okla., Jan. 17. — After
three days of stormy debate the pro-
hibition enforcement measure, in-
cluding the dispensary features, pass-
ed the house today. It will go to the
senate Monday and the administra-
tion forces expect to sea it sent to
the governor by the last of next
week.
Several changes were made in the
bill. The state enforcement pro-
vision was weakened by giving the
senate enforcement officer appointed
by the governor authority to act
only in conjunction with the attorney
general or county attorney. The sal-
ary of the state dispensary agent
was cut from $3,500 to $1,800 per an-
num and the county dispensary
agents were raised from a minimum
of $200 to $500 a year. An appro-
priation of $150,000 was made to
carry out the provisions of the bill.
In the midst of the debate a mo-
' tion was adopted to clear the hall of
■ lobbyists.
I Murray, however, ruled the motion
I out on a point of order.
Guthrie, Okla., Jan. 20. — A sensa-
tional attack upon Fort Supply, the
site selected by Oklahoma Territory
for the state Insane asylum, was
made in the lions,- to.lay by P. piv
sentative Riddle of Grail' county,
who declared that tin' buildings are
old and many of them decayed; that
the water supply is insufficient to
protect the lives of the patients, and
that the state has never received a
title to the buildings and land from
the federal government. Riddle was
the only member of Uie house inves-
tigation committee which recently
visited Fort Supply, who reported un-
favorably in the matter of appropriat
ing money for the i-jcation and main-
tenance of the asylum at that place.
The majority report was d fended
by Representative Murdoch. He de-
clared that he has never se ti more
substantial fl ame buildings, and that
by a small expenditure upon the wa-
ter works system established there
by the government, a pressure could
be obtained that would throw a
stream sixty feet high. He stated
that a railroad is being built to the
fort and that objections on account
of the fact that the asylum site can
be reached only by a sandy road four
teen miles long will soon be removed.
Murdoch also stated that the present
asylum at Norman Is supported by a
contract with a private corporation,
which finds the contract very profi-
table since Oklahoma has become a
state. The bill for maintaining the
insane at Norman has run up to
$14,000, he declared. Both the ma-
jority and the minority reports were
put before the house, but a vote was
deferred.
The concurrent resolution me-
moralizing congress for an appropria-
tion of $5,200,000 to deepen the Ar-
kansas river from Muskogee, Okla., to
Fort Smith. Ark., passed both houses
and was signed by the governor to-
day.
The senate recommended for pas-
sage Senator Memminger's bill, cut-
ting express rates 25 per cent ^ and
compelling express companies to es-
tablish free delivery in towns of one
thousand population and over, and
uptown offices in all cities of the first
class.
Senator Graham introduced a bill
preventing the inter-marriage of ne-
groes with persons of another race,
making the penalty $500 fine and five
years' imprisonment.
Senator Clarence Davis presented a
dairy commission bill, providing for
the appointment by the governor of a
commissioner, four year term, and
salary of $2,0C0 annually.
In the house Representative Joe
Sherman, Republican. Introduced a
measure compelling corporations,
transportation and transmission com-
panies to pay employes in cash and
to eliminate time checks, the com-
pany store and commissary. Other
important bills introduced were:
By Cope, of El Reno, providing for
trial by jury in district courts of per-
sons in contempt of the supreme
court.
By Earl of Hooker, preventing the
confiscation of coal, lumber and other
merchandise by railroads and other
companies without due process of

engineer at $5,000 annual salary, to
work under the state corporation
commission and the governor in su-

A TWICE TOLD TALE
Story of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw Did
Not Create the Same Thrill
It Did Before.
RELATED IN OPEN COURT
Jerome By His Objections Spoilc.1 the
Actress' Narrative—Was in Wit-
ness Chair All Day—More
Cross Examination.
New York, Jan. 1\ -Mrs Kv >lyn
Nesbit Thaw told her story Monda>
for the second time. The repetition
lacked the vitality ot the first recital,
but the great crowd in the courtroom
where her husband is on trial for the
killing of Stanford White, listen. <l in- ,
tently to every word. Justice Howling
had ruled that he found no warrant
in the law for closing doors against
the public and there was a great
clamor for admittance from a ti ron4
which hung about the building all -lav
long. District Attorney Jerome, fail-
ing in his move to exclude spectators,
took occasion when it came his turn
to cross examine the witness, to
bring out all of the details of the first
trial which Mr. Littleton of the de-
fense, had omitted on his direct in-
quiry of the witness. Mr. Jerome also
sought to block Mrs. Thaw's testimony
in its entirety on the ground that a
conversation which occurred three
years before the tragedy could not
have any bearing on Thaw's mental
condition on the night of the homicide.
Justice Dowling over ruled the objec-
tion.
Mrs. Thaw was on the stand all day
long, and Mr Jerome announced when
adjournment for the day was taken
that ills cross examination would oc-
cupy a greater part of Tuesday's ses-
sion.
Mrs. Thaw's story was broken into
bits by constantly repeated objections
from the prosecution, who sought to
exclude all details on the ground of
Immateriality. The frequent objec-
tions led Justice Dowling to request
Mr. Littleton to cut his examination
as short as possible. Mr. Littleton
took tliis course only to find that on
cross examination Mr. Jerome Insist-
ed upon reading from last year's rec-
ord nearly every word the witness had
then uttered. He did this under the
privilege of framing new questions.
Mr. Littleton objected to it, declar-
ing that the district attorney by read-
ing the former testimony in a dis
agreeable manner, was trying to dis-
credit her in the eyes of the jury when
he could not discredit her in any way
by a direct question. . Mr. Jerome
made no attempt to disguise a tone of

Syracuse News-Republican
Wichita, Kan.. Jan. 19.— George Sat-
terthwaite, whose nude body was
found near Syracuse Friday, was a
resident of Wichita, and up to three
months ago was employed as manag-
ing editor of the Wichita Kagle. He
resigned his position here after pur-
j chasing part ownership in the Parsons
I Sun. After spending two weeks there
| and disposing of his ownership he
went to Kansas City, and afterward to
Oklahoma City. He was well known
' in Oklahoma newspaper circles, hav-
! ing been Guthrie correspondent for
several years.
George Satterthwaite was in Wlch-
complete contempt in reading the tes- ' ''a a week ago and spent several days,
tlmony. Contempt also characterized He appeared In good spirits and
most of the questions he put to the ! showed no sign of Insanity. His par-
witness, whom he attacked in the loud
est voice he haL yet used at the trial.
Mr. Jerome plunged at once Into the
more intimate details of the testimony
and made no delicate choice of words
in framing his interrogations.
Mr. Littleton's objections on the
ground of "offenslveness and impro-
priety" frequently were sustained by
the court.
Mrs. Thaw matched wits against
both District Attorney Jerome and his
assistant. Mr. Garvan, who was ever
at Ills chief's elbow with now sugges-
tions. She fenced with them as skil-
fully as she did a year ago. and at
times reflected the mood of the dis-
trict attorney by answering In a voice
pitched in as loud a key as his own.
The prosecutor's pitiless and aggres-
sive questions often struck fire and
once when Mr. Jerome demanded to
know if the young woman had told
Thaw certain things, she replied hotly:
"Yes, I told him, but I did not use
the language you are using."
"Don't argue with me, madam,"
shout'ed Jerome, who then had the re
ply stricken from the record.
But one new feature appeared In the
testimony of the witness. This was
when she told about Thaw swallowing i
the contents of a bottle of laudanum
at Monte Carlo in 1904, in an attempt
to end his life. Previously to this, at
the Grand hotel. In New York, Thaw
had talked of suicide, his wife de-
clared, and had suggested that she
also should take poison as both their
lives had been ruined. Mrs. Thaw
said she humored Thaw at the time
and diverted his mind. She was out
of I he room when he finally took the
poison in Europe.
"Why didn't you tell us about this
at the first trial?" demanded Mr.
Jerome.
"Because Mr. Delmas said it mi.-ht
make Harry out too crazy," the wit-
ness retorted before the district attor-
ney could stop her.

ney Jerome's long and severe cross
examination of Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw at the trial of her husband
came to an end late Tuesday. The
attorneys for the defense then suc-
ceeded in placing in evidence a letter
written by the defendant in the fall
of 1901!, which completely corrobor-
ated the claim that the girl who was
to become his wife did tell him the
story of her relations with Stanford
White, much as she has related it
upon the stand at this and the former
