at G o'clock Saturday to laat until

hurrit'il fashion

Th' congressional redisricting ques-
Ron wiim never opened to the special
MMiOII by Governor Cruoe but the
house passed a hill on the undcr-
HtaiKliiiK that the governor would
submit the Miihjert If the Henate and
house would get together on a ntap
ho could approve The Hcuuto cau-
cus did not want act until tho gov-
ernor would tend In his message and
it whs finally decided to defer any
further effort on the measure until
after the recess While very likely
to come up then It la not eertaln. The
four big bills that went over were
passed by both houses anil hung in
conferences which repeatedly tried
but without success to adjust the dif-
ferences between the house and the
senate.
I'lnjs "Horse" Awhile
The house did not follow the sen-
ate program of presentations to pre-
siding olllccrs etc. reserving this
until the actual end of the session
ali-r receaa. Saturday afternoon
which was spent In final action on
conference reports ended with a
mock trial In which the entire house
participated-
There was some singing by knots
uf the members but none of the us-
ual solemnities of parting character-
istic of a body of men who have
worked together for months and are
about to part. Which Is a pretty
good Indication Of the opinion of
many of the legislators that the leg-
islature la not over yet. The house
dealt a death blow to Senate Bill No.
135 known as the gas conservation
bill which proposed the capping ol
wells flowing two million feet etc.
The bill has been bitterly opposed by
the Independent producers a)nd its
Chance of passage In tho house would
not have been good with a full mem-
bership Continue the Pro boa
With over forty members already
on the train and bound for home
the roll call was as follows: Ayes 22
noes .'11; absent 44. Most of the house
members had left town by midnight.
Ane of the laat things done by the
legislature was tho passage of a
concurrent resolution continuing the
Maxey investigating committee less
four of Ita members and providing
for a continuance of the probes of
state departments and institutions
during the recess.
The resolution was passed by the
house early In the special session but
was acted on by the senate Saturday.
The Committee immediately met
and reorganized and made a few
changes in Its plan of work. An-
nouncement was made that tho com-
mittee would take a week's recces
and return to the cnpitol city May
26 and on that date resume Its probe
of the state banking depart inent. The
sittings of tho committee will be con-
tin is after that date. The new com-
mittee Is as follows: Speaker Maxey
ii. H. smith k i'. iiiii Plnkham
Curtla Mitchell Tehee ami McGuiro.
The selections were all made from
the personnel of the old committee of
twelve-
Pinal paaaage of the state univer-
sity appropriation bill defeat of the
resolution to refer the school aboli-
tion question to a vote of the peple
and refusal to adopt the conference
report on the general appropriation
bill featured the work of the senate
Saturday. The house refused to take
up consideration of the senate's re-
nuest for a further conference on the
Mil and consequently It went over un-
til after the recess.
To Walked Out.
Tw o mem tiers of tho seante Sen-
ator Thomas and Senator Mcintosh
who represented the senate In con-
ference objected so strenuously to the
work nf the committee In shaping the
bill that they walked out and refused
to participate In the conference be-
lieving their views too far npart from
tho other members of tho conference
to perfect the bill but this request
was denied.
A reduction In the appropriation
for the state corporation commission
and several other changes mnde In
the bill aa originally passed furnished
the bone of contention. Tho majority
members of the conference have prac-
tically agreed to accede to tho changes
in the bill asked for by Senator
ThomeS with reference to the state
ontlnucil on page 2.)
Agree in Ail the Press to be Repro
tan ted at Privets Bearings of
Finance Committee
WASHINGTON May 17 An-
nouncement today by Chulrman Sim-
mons of the finance OomlttOO that
ub-comlttees considering the I'nder-
Wood tariff bill hail determined to
grant more lime to protesting manu-
facturers than was at first intended
amused considerable Interest at the
capltol.
Although tho effort of Senate re-
publicans to force public hearings
was defeated minority leaders see In
tho changed tactics uf the democrats
a concession which they claim result-
ed from the denunciation of secrot
consideration of the bill. Another in-
teresting development was the deter-
mination of Senator Hoke Smith of
(leorgla a member of the sub- com-
mittee considering tho cotton and
Chemical Schedules to have the pri-
vate hearings conducted by him re-
ported by I senate .stenographer This
la an innovation which the republi-
cans assert was brought about
through the Insistence of Senators La
(Toilette and Hrlstow who urged that
the privets hearings be published for
the benefit of senators net on the
finance committee it also has been
agreed that tho finance committee
will send to manufacturers the Mat of
(luostlons on costs and production
proposed by Senator I.a Toilette.
Still another liberalizing feature
resulting from the debate on the Pen
rose-La Pollette public hearings
amendment was the reiteration by
Senator Hoke Smith and some of his
colleagues that members of the press
could attend the private bearings.
The previous statement was the first
the newspaper men ever had heard
of It and it also was news to other
members of the finance committee.
Today Senator Smith conferred with
other members of the committee and
found they were agreeable to admit-
ting newspaper representatives
None of the tariff bill sub-committees
held hearings today except Sena-
tor Williams' committee! which gave
a brief hearing to Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Curtis and Assistant
Attorney General Dennlson on the
administrative features of tho bill.
"We will try to have tho bill rendy
for tho senate by Juno" said Senator
Simmons today "but It probably will
be a little later than that owing to
the fact that the sub-committee have
agreed to give a little more time to
the manufacturers who are protesting
against tho rates In tho t'ndcrwood
bill. They have decided to do this
owing to tho Insistence and persis-
tence of some of the Interests affected
by the bill. We already lc lost a
whole week because of the nged
debate on the reference motions but
the work will bo pushed us rapidly
as possible."

A MASS OF HUMAN BONES
Victims Were Apparently Indians
Bullet Hole Through Skull
Told Mute Story.
Tho skeletons of five men appar
ently Indians were uncuvered yester-
day on the farm of Colonel C. B.
I.ynch north of Tulsn by laborers en-
gaged In digging a cellar and sewer
ditch. News of the discovery was
brought to Tulsa by J. W. Syferd
1 406 South Carson who Is contractor
on the ecavatton Job.
The farm Is located two and one-
half miles west and one mile north of
Tulsa In the usage nation. While ex-
cavating for the baeemenl tho work-
men dug up four skeletons. The
skulls wero all detached and there
was every Indication that the bodies
had been thrown Into a hastily dug
trench. The teeth were in pel feet
shape and white. None of them were
decayed. All of the skeletons bad
very large Jaw boftes and long thigh
and arm bones. Indicating that the
men had been Indians of great size.
One skull found In the basement
had a bullet hole In tho front part.
No evldenco uf wounds were found
among the other bones.
In digging a sewer trench a short
distance from the basement excua-
thin another skeleton was found and
the skulls of several others were
found stlcklpg out of the side of the
ditch but were not uncovered. There
may be a dozen or more hodles In the
vicinity that have not been dug up.
That the Indians were burled there
a long lime ago was shown by the
condition of tho skeletons.
Old residents of (he vicinity are at
a loss to 'account for the discovery.
They remember of no wholesale kill-
ing In the Osage and the slaughter
must hav taken place long before
civilization had gntton this far. It
was either a battle between warring
Indian tribes or between Indians and
white men.
Perhaps a band of sturdy "sooners"
were ntta ketl by the red men killed
and carried aw jy but not before they
had thinned tho ranks of the attack-
ing force. It Is not customary for
Indians to bury their dead hastily In
trenches however which shows that
there must have been cause for the
Indians leaving the place In haste
after firing had ceasd and forced
them to throw the dead into trenches.
HITS 1ST LEAD
TO RECEIVERSHIP
The accompanying view made from the balcony of the Hotel Tulsa by the World photographer Friday shows a portion of the Nobles
Of the Mystic Shrine who spent two delightful hours In this city on their wuy humo from the Imperial council meeting at Dallas The pro-
cession is led by President O. 11. Leonard and Secretary C. A. Sanderson (on foot) if Hie Tulsa Commercial Club. Then come the Tulsa band
and the band from Osman Temple St. Paul. Next In line Is the Osmun Patrol. In the rear are some of the y Isiling Nobles In auto and on fout
and the famous Kilties Hand of Calgary Canada.
The visitors came on a special train of ten coaches. They were whirled over (he city In forty auto mobiles and many w ere the expres-
sions of astonishment and surprise on the appearance of Tulsa. Many of the Nobles Indicated a desire to return here at Boine future time with
a view to making Investments.
This is the Anti-Sanger Ticket
If vou want to take the public schoola of the city nf Tulsa out of
politics these are the men you should vole for at the election Tuesday.
May I Oth The Issue is clear cut a nil distinct The men opposed to
ibis list of candidates have lined up with Paul Sanger who openly
hoasls that they will Ignore the coin i act for teachers entered Into and
otherwise Involve the schools In personal political and possible legal
fights. The have made the Issue and it Is now up to the voters to say
whether they want Sanger and his crowd with their political deals
scandals and vicious quarreling methods or whether a set of high-minded
disinterested public-spirited men like the following who are pledged
to a progressive up-to-now system of schools shall be elected. The
World has merely tried to enlighten the public as to the real issues and
tho consequences uf this election Settled rightly It simply means that
the public schools of Tulsa have been lifted nut nf the squabbling con-
tentions which have hampered them in (ho past and that they will be
placed on u high piano and conducted without dissension graft and
discord Mr. Sanger Is on record with most of his associates us pledged
lo overthrow the contract with the new superintendent uml otherwise
Involve our schools iii a disgraceful row Interminably ami to play dirty
polities it every opportunity. Some of the men whom the World pre-
sents as tho candidates to vote for It does not even know personally
but It doos know that they nro big enough and broad minded enough
and public spirited enough to eliminate the objectionable methods which
have characterized Mr Sanger and his supporters ever since he has
been on the board of education. No ono who has the welfare of tho
schools of Tulsa at heart will make a mistake In voting fur all of
these men.
