TO TRY MUSKOGEE
MAYOR FIRST
-ate yesterday afternoon it was de-
rided that Mayor J. E. Wyani of
Iituskogee would go to trial in advance
of the case of Sheriff John S. Barger
who :.s eharged with the same of-
fense for which impeachment proceed-
ings have been instituted. The prin-
cipal offense with which the mayor
and sheriff are charged is a wilful
neglect to enforce the anti-liquor and
anti-gambling laws of the state. The
indictments were r eturned several
days ago by a special grand jury con-
ducted by A. I Howard, assistant
attorney general.
There has been much speculat:on at
Muskogee regarding which of the ac-
cused officials would be brought to
trial first and the reluctance on the
part ot' the office of the attorney gen-
eral to gave any iight on this part of
ihe program caused considerable con-
cern. Each of the accused was anx-
ious ihat his case "ome before the
jury at the earliest possible moment
end when the hearing was further re-
tarded by the attorney general being
unable to appear before the middle of
the week considerable confusion was
the result.
Jurors had been summoned and
witnesses subponaed several days in
advance and the cases could not be
opened until the arrival of the attor-
ney general
When court adjourned yesterday
the twelfth juror had been passed
into the box and it is thought the
taking of testimony may begin late
today
Attorney General Prince Eroding
is personally conducting the case
which is the first of the kind brought
in the state under the new attorney
general law.

TUBERCULIN TEST

On request of ihe Kansas Natural
Gas company the corporation com-
misison has granted that company 30
ciays in which to properly pilug a gas
well in the Morrison field in Noble
county. The matter of the improper
plugging of the well had bc*n culled
to the atention of the company, a
hearing on which was , held\ by the
commission and the latter agreed to
grant the request of the company,
provided work was commenced at
once.
It was stated that the work of
plugging the well was improperly done
and that salt water was flowing from
the top of the casing- in addition to the
fact that gas had been escaping. The
company is ordered to clean out and
replug the well under the supervision
of a representative from the com-
mission. It is estimated that it will
cost about $12,000 to plug the hole
as required by law. The point is that
the company should be interested in
plugging the holes properly to the
same extent as is the commission,, for
in event a well is not properly plumed
the commission will see that it is.

For the benefit of dairy men in the
vicinity of Drumright who have shown
a desire to comply with all the require-
ments in managing their herds, the
following information has been
gleaned from the health department
of the state and is published in answer
to many inquirys. Profesor A. C.
Baer of the department of dairy hus-
bandry of the Oklahoma Agricultural
and Mechanical oleege says that the
following simple milk regulations
bsould be adopted:
All cows supplying the city with
milk should be tuberculin tested
once a year, and reacting animals re-
moved. Evidence of the application
of the tuberculin test in the form of
temperature charts should be furnish-
ed to the health officer.
2. The premises of all dairymen
should be regularly inspected for in-
sanitary conidtions. The cleanliness
of the cows, stables, dairy house and
utensils should be carefully noted,
The cleanliness observed in drawing
the milk and the proper cooling and
bottling of the milk should be beyond
criticism. A score card for the reg-
ular scoring of all dairies will aid in
finding and pointing out defects. Ev-
ry dairy supplying the public with
nilk should have adequate and sani-
tary equipment and should use de-
cently clean methods in hartdlir.g the
milk.
3. A Babcock test of milk and
cream should occasionally be made to
see if the products comply with the
legal requirements. Simple tests for
adulteration by watering and skim-
ming can be made with a lactometer.
The sediment test should be applied
frequently to see if the milk is clean.
4. When a contagious disease ap
pears on a dairy farm the milk should
be excluded from the city. No milk-
man should be allowed to take back
empty bottles from a home where
there is a contagious disease.
All large cities should have a com-
plete hilk ordinance covering all fea-
tures of milk and food control. Pro
vision sohuld be made for a well
equipped laboratory and a competent
inspector.
The strikers committee this atter-
ncun issued Phe followinc statement
regarding tne strike:
"Owing to the many false .itories
that have been circulated through the
press we feel that the public is en-
titled to a few facts in regard to the
strike against the Sinclair Oil & (5as
company.
"In the first place there are i.o 1
W. W.'s connected with this strike,
nor have there been at any time. We
do not even belong: to u union but are
m"rely trying to obtain a wage thnt
is fair and consistent with the cost of
living at the present time. Clothes,
board and groceries and other neces-
sities of life have advanced from 30
to 50 per cent in the last few months
everybody knows Nevertheless,
we have had no raise unless you might
consider the honus paid Mond-iy as
e.
Just a word in regard to this bonus.
\ man has to work six months before
he is entitled to a three months' ho-
If he works five months and
three weeks he is not entitled tj one.
Also there is nothing to compel the
company to pay this bonus since it
an call it off at any time. This was
the case the first of the year when
company officials called off a bonus
for 1916 after a part, at least, of the
checks were made out. The super-
intendent told us this bonus wa3 just
a gift from the company, or charity,
other words.
"We do not want chairty. All we
want is what we earn every month on
our regular pay check.
Statements were made in several
papers that we had threatened to de-
story property and that the company
had been compelled to call in a num-
ber of guards to protect it. This is
not true We told the district fore-
man that we would not destrov uny
property or cause any violence. The
foreman told us Tuesday evening that
these gaurds were not brought out on
our acount but to protect the prop-
erty apainst German and Mexican
spies.
We wish to call attention to the ,
lact that if we get this raise we will |
still be from 10 to 15 per cent beolw [
the scale of wages paid by some of the
compaines in this field. We feel we
are not asking for any more than
our just dues.
"We ask the public to hesitate be-
fore they accept as facts any state-
ment made against u by company of-
ficials thrcugh the press. We have
stated the facts above. Anything that
does not conform to the above is a
mis-stateomnt of fact. No person
outside of employes of this company
on these leases has ever talked to
nny of the boys about conducting this
strike. There are no I. W. W.'s or
agitators with us. We are simply a
b'jnch of working men trymg to mflke
a living. We hope the public will
give us its sympathy and support. We
ask any employes who are not now
with U3 but who wish to inin us to do
so. We request -all oil workers to re-
fuse to take our plaees while this ]
strike is on
