OKLAHOMA CITY Feb. 4. "What
some of the senators termed "gag
rule" and " "steam-roller" methods
wore lined in passing finally the
amended pool hall bill in the senate
this afternoon.
The bill changed In every particular
Irom tho form In which It came from
the house was called up In commit-
ti of the whole.
Senator Llurford opposed the bill on
l-gal grounds.
Senator Keller offered an amend-
ment so as to Rive the right of ap-
peal from the decisions of the county
Judge who und.l- the bill is Klven
absolute authority over pool and bll-
1 ard halls In cities of the first class.
Senator J. Klmer Thomas by exer-
cising various tactics of parliamentary
procedure succeeded In advancing
the bill to consideration by the sen-
ate proper without considering the
tiinendtiientx offered in committee of
the whole.
Davidson Votes "No."
After much debate the bill was
pa HHed flnallv with Senator Davidson
of Tulsa Uurford of Guthrie and two
or three others voting "No."
The pool hall bill has had a check-
ered career. It was originally Intro-
duced for the purpose of abolishing
halls in unincorporated towns and
villa?! but the house amended It ro
as to take In all such places In the
vtate.
Governor "Williams held a confer-
once with a senate commltteo and in-
formed them that he would veto the
bill If It came to him In such a drastic
form. It was agreed to amend the
bill so us to cut out pool halls In
small towns and to regulate such In-
stitutions In cities of the first class.
After the parliamentary fight In
committee of the whole the senate
voted down every amendment that was
proponed.
Senator Wilson suddenly called 'a
meeting of the committee on tho In-
vestigation of tho price of roal and to-
gether with several membiTs of the
committee left the room. Senator
Thomas moved a call of the house
and Lieutenant-Governor Trapp the
presiding officer ordered the Bergeant
at arms to locate the absent members
and escort them back into the senate
chamber. This was done and much
to their chagrin Wilson and his col-
leagues were forced to abandon their
Inquiry Into the coal situation for the"
time being.
"There is a Joker In this 1)111 that
is bigger than' the bill itaolf" de-
clared Senator Iiurford in renewing
liis fight against the measure. "It
is in direct conflict with the char-
ters of Tulsa Guthrie and other cities.
These charters contain a provision
giving the city the right to regulate
and control pool and billiard halls.
The supreme court has held that
whenever a legislative act conflicts
with the provision of a city charter
the charter Is supreme. Therefore'
this bill would not apply to the very
cities for which it is intended.
Someone suggested that Governor
Williams had written that provision
into the bill himself.
' am sorry for that" answered

Rurford "for the governor helped to
write tho constitution and also handed
down these very decisions In which
the city charter 1 held supreme."
Senator Davidson of Tulsa polntud
out that under the terms of tho bill
no pool hall could bo located next
door to a place where gambling or
the sale of liquor was conducted but
the senate voted down his amendment
striking out this provision.
Senator Keller charged that Senator
Thomas had assisted In applying the
"gag rule to prevent a free discussion
of tho Keller amendments.
"I am for the bill" said Senator
Keller "but I obj.-ct to the power
given the county Judge. It makes of
him an autocrat and If lit- so desired
he could put a perfectly legitimate
business out of commission."
Senator .Shaw objected to what be
termed "steam roller" methods in
preventing a full discussion of the
bill.
"Tho time Is coming when you men
who are applying tho gag rule will
regret it" he warned.
Thomas then moved to suspend the
rule allowine debate and call the roll.
The chair ordered tho roll call and
the bill wus passed by a big major-
ity. Tho bill requires every person run-
ning a pool or billiard hall to first
socure a license from tho countv
Judge after satisfying this official
that he is a person of good moral
character and has never violated any
of the laws of the state or nation. If
he has ever been Issued a special
liquor dealer's license ho cannot se-
cure a pool hall license. A feo of five
dollars per year Is to be charged by
the Judge for Issuing the license. Any
citizen may appear before the Judge
and protest the issuance of the license.
The license Is to be revoked for any
of the following reasons:
Drunkenness of the person holding
the license or permitting any Intox-
cated person to loiter In such place.
Permitting minors under IS years
of age to resort to such place unless
accompanied by parent or guardian.
Payment of the special liquor deal-
er's tax to the I'nlted States.
Maintaining such place In that part
of a building or adjoining that -part
of a building occupied by any person
holding a liquor license.
Violating any of the prohibition
laws.
The fees collected by the county
Judge are to be paid to the county
court fund.
The bill permanently establishing
superior courts In Tulsa Muskogee
and Pottawatomie counties was passed
finally by the senate. It had already
been passed by the house and will
now go to the governor.-
The house bill by Lemon prescrib-
ing the powers and duties of the dis-
trict boards and providing for the
manner of conveying pupils was ad-
vanced to final passage as was the
house bill providing for the state to
give its assent to the Smith-Lever ag-
ricultural extension act of congress
and the bill providing for the payment
of taxes as between grantor and
grantee.
in committee of the whole two sen-
ate bills were udvanced. One of them
amends the law relating to cemetery
corporations and tho other amend-
ment the law as to threshers' liens.
Senator Klllum Introduced a bill
making an Epproprtatlon to be used In
fighting the foot and mouth disease
In this state.
Senate bill No. 130 compelling the
county treasurer to place the sinking
fund on time deposit in tho bank
making the highest bid was the sub-
ject of long debate and was finally-
referred to a special committee with
Instructions to redraft.
liefer to a Committee.
The senate this morning adopted a
rule that all ' concurrent resolutions
carrying a proposition to amend tne
constitution shall be referred to a
committee. The rule was proposed by
Senator Thomas. It was provoked by
the calling up of a senate concurrent
resolution by Senator Tucker which
was Introduced yesterday proposing
an amendment to the effect that no
new counties shall be formed In this
state within the next ten years; Sen-
ator Tucker did not oppose submission
to a committee but several senators
did.
There Is a disposition In several sec-
tions of the state to form now coun-
ties. A bill has been beforo the legis-
lature which made provisions rather
difficult to meet In this enterprise.
It has been for the time being lain
at rest In the house after passing the
senate Senator Barrett opposed the
resolution to amend the constitution
on tho ground that this measure had
been before the legislature and will
be again In all probability. Senator
Risen who represents the district
composed of tho old panhandle of
Oklahoma pointed to conditions In
his region that will call for rearrange-
ment of the counties and opposed the
measure. Senator Keller who repre-
sents the district composed of Carter
Love and Murray counties objected
to having the resolution embalmed
In any committee. He said whenever
a wildcat oil well is not a duster there
arises some small town that Imme-
diately wants to carve out from sur-
rounding territory a new county of
which It may be the capital. "There
are too many counties In this state
now" said the senator from Marietta
"and the people cannot afford to pay
for the support of any more. It Is
a mistake to permit a county govern-
ment to be established In every town-
ship." The resolution was referred
to the committee on constitution.
Franklin Hills Favored.
Senate committees made favorable
reports on the bills by Mr. Franklin
prohibiting discrimination In fire In-
surance rates; providing for Injunc-
tions against insurance companies
and for the appointment of the state
Insurance commissioner as rocelver;
by Messrs. Pugh and Beauman mak-
ing rules for fire Insurance. Tne bill
by Senator Harrett establishing a
stato Insurance board was reported to
the calendar without recommenda-
tion. Lieutenant Governor Trapp ap-
pointed the committee to make Inves-
tigation of the price at which coal Is
sold In Oklahoma as provided In the
resolution by Her-or Wilson and
Senator ISeauman follows: Sena-
tors Wilson; Beauman Tucker Buck-
ner and C'urran.
Would Pension Widows.
The special committee of the whole
house to whom waa referred the mat-
ter of caring for certain Indigent per-
sons who are citizens and not other-
wise provided for by law reported a
Mil by Senator O'Neill that gives the
governor power to designate the in-
stitution suitable for such and to
place them therein. The house bill
by Messrs. Morgan and Fitzgerald
creating the office of county cotton
grader received a favorable report
while the senate bill by Messrs. Bar-
rett and Russell providing for pen-
sions for widows waa reported to the
calendar without recommendation.
The senate bill by Messrs. Edwards
and Fields that prohibits solicitation
of charity with a permit from the
commissioner of charities wan re-
ported favorably. The senate In com-
mittee of the whole amended and
finally passed the house bill provid-
ing for superior courts In certain
counties the counties that will fall
within the law being Tulsa Potta-
1 watonile and Muskogee.
BILL TO CREATE AN
INSURANCE BOARD
OKLAHOMA CITY Fob. 4. Tho
Integrity of the state insurance com-
missioner was called Into question
and rumors of an Impending Investi-
gation of Ibis otttce were circulated
this afternoon when I lie house of rep-
resentatives In committee of the whole
adopted tho bill by Alaxey of Mus-
kogee creating a state Insurance
board with authority to regulate the
Insurance rutes of the utate.
An attempt was made to amend the

ance board to bo composed of the

Williams objected to the amendment.
Commissioner I'nlit.
"I had evidence here on my desk"
(-aid Maxey "to show that the insur-
ance commissioner Is not a fit person
to issue licenses to Insurance iigents
or to revoke thorn."
The amendment was voted down
and the bill was adopted In Its en-
tirety. It probably will bo passed
finally tomorrow. The senate will also
take favorable action on the measure

CIVILIANS ONLY TO
GET U. S FOODSTUFF
British Announce Intention
of Seizing Wilhelinina;
To liny Cargo.
WASHINGTON' Feb. 4. Much In-
terest was inaiiif "sted at the state de-
railment today in the proposal of
Count I'.ernstoriT the German ambas-
sador that an Ameiican consular of-
ficer supervise tho distribution of tho
cargo of foodstulT.4 on the Amoriean
steamer Wilhelinina to make sure that
they reached the civilian population
anil not the armed forces of Ger-
many. As the W.iheljiilna Is now In high
seas and the Hiitlsh government has
announced Its purpose of detaining
her and bringing her Into port to buy
the cargo d'plomatlc negotiations on
the subject :ire not expected to de-
velop until the ship actually Is taken
Into British Jurisdiction.
tate department t Iflclals dec lined
to say whether or not American con-
sular otllcers would be authorized to
supervise the dlstrlhitlon of the food-
stuffs and In Hiitlsh circles It win
Intimated that Great Lrltaln probably
would net permit the cargo of the
Wilhelinina t proceed under Mich an
arrangement which If applied to all
cargoes of foodstuffs might develop
into a plan whereby grain and flour
now In Germany could be utilized en-
tirely for the armed forces while the
clvlllnn population was fed by Im-
ported products.
The German ambassador who some
days ago notified the state depart-
ment that his government would guar-
antee that no food from the United
States would be seized by tho govern-
ment for military purposes declared
that this latest proposition left no
doubt as to the Intention of Germany
In the matter. The recent decree In
regard to wheat corn and Hour seized
by the German government applied
only the ambassador asserted to what
already was In the country and not
to that Imported from the United
States. In seizing foodstuffs Intended
only for the civilian population of a
country he insisted Great Britain
would be violating principle and de-
crees which she hertclf had declared
should be observed.
Worried.
"That dog of Hlack's will be the
death of me barkig at me every time

"But barking dogs don't bite."

"Bennie" Kicks On
Too Much Real Truth
(Continued from I'age Ono.)
I have a few things to say In answer
to Mr. Harrison "
"The gentleman Is out of order"
stated Speaker Mot'rory.
Hill made an attempt to continue
his speech but was forced to sit down.
Representative Wash Hudson of
Tulsa county was recognized by the
chair.
Hudson camn nobly to the rescue
of his home newspaper.
"As far as I am concerned"
shouted Hudson in his war-whoop
stylo "I want to register hero and
now my eternal confidence lu the In-
tegrity of Hen Harrison."
When Harrison first arose a hush
fell over the mombers. They all knew
what was coming for they had been
reading the story as eagerly almost as
Harrison himself.
"In view of the fact" said the for-
mer secretary of state "that The
Tulsa World today credits me with
putting over a smooth -deal on this
house I merely want to state that tho
Tulsa organ Is mistaken."
Ill Argument Weak.
He then plunged Into details con-
cerning tho transactions of tho school
land commission about which much
criticism has been raised throughout
tho state and to provide a means of
covering up which Harrison Intro-
duced the bill that was passed by the
house yesterday.
"1'nless this bill Is passed" said
Harrison "the land on which the stato
has loaned money and la unable to get
it back will lay there and bo of no
benefit to anyone. That Is the purpose
of this bill to enable the commissioners-
of the land offlco to foreclose
the mortgages and sell this land."
To show the fallacy of tho argu-
ment that his bill would cover up tho
actions of tho commission of which
ho was a member Harrison declared
that the loans made by that commis-
sion could not possibly bo foreclosed
this year. He failed to mention how-
ever that the bill will be In effect
next year anil the year after.
"There has been a. great deal of
criticism of these loans" he admitted.
"It Is true that some of the men mak-
ing applcatlon for loans have offered
bribes. Whether they were accepted
1 do not know- If any mistakes have
been made I do not know who Is to
blame. The commissioners had to rely
upon the reports of the appraisers.
The World says that It had the evi-
dence to support Its statements. If it
has evidence to show that any mem-
ber of the commission accepted a
bribe as good citizens the persons on
that paper should present this evi-
dence to a grand Jury."
The.il They lued Two.
He pointed out one Instance where
a certain piece of land was appraised
ut an amount greatly in excess of Its
true value. He said this prompted
the commission to put two appraisers
on each application after that and
even then there were many Instances
where the two appraisements on a
single tract of land were vastly dif-
ferent. No mention was made of tne report
on loans In Rogers Mills county that
was filed by State Examiner and In.
spector Fred Parkinson with Gov-
ernor Cru.ce and later turned over to
a grand Jury.
Not a wo:d was said about the reso-
lution adopted by the house at the
beginning of this session to Investi-
gate the acta of the former school
land commission and the Rogers
Mills county loans.
Harrison never attempted to explain
why It Is that this resolution has
never been acted upon bv the senate
although It was sent thore several
weeks ago after having been acted
upon finally by the house.
The Incident has not ended.
The LUllit Will Shlno.
Certain members of the houso are
going to insist that the truth about
the school laud loans be made public
and the guilty persons punished.
Someone Is g-olng to Insist that the
Investigation resolution be acted upon
sincerely and promptly.
There ha been too much of the
state' money avjuandered for every-
one to Bit idly by and parn laws to
whitewash the ulltr persons and not
turn a hand toward punishing the of-fendei-e.
