WASHINGTON, March 13.-Attor-
ney General Daugherty’s alleged
’’deals’’ with a friend who killed him-
self when he feared somebody was
"dosing In upon them.” were to be
further described this afternoon by
Mrs. Koxie Stinson Smith before the
senate committee investigating the
department of justice
Closely guarded, at her own request,
the widow of Jess Smith, who com-
mitted suicide in Duiigherty’s apart-
ment lust Decoration day. was kept in
seclusion until time for her to re-
sume her sensational story of intri-
gue, stock deals and self sacrifice.
The raveu-huired. soft spoken wom-
an who told the committee with many
tears late yesterday at the start of
the open hearings of the friendship
and partnership of Jess Smith and the
uttorney general had much to reveal,
according to Senator B. K Wheeler of
Montana, chief prosecutor.
She was to take the stand again at
2 p. in. and it was doubtful, accord-
ing to Wheeler if any other witnesses
would be heard today.
The story as told thus far by Mrs.
Smith, who was divorced from Smith
hill remained an intimate friend to
the time of his suicide, was a sketchy
one. She touched lightly upon myster-
ious "deals" which she had apparently
intimate knowledge, especialy regard-
ing the profits in oil and automobile
stocks, in which she shared.
She alleged under prompting by
Senator Wheeler, that Jess Smith
"domed” Harry Daugherty and "gave
his life” for the attorney general.
That Smith, coming lo Washington
after the election of President Hard-
ing. became involved in a mass of in-
trigue from which in the end he found
self-destruction the only escape.
That Smith and Daugherty were in-
volved in a "deal” conc erning exhibi-
tion of the Dempsey-Carpentier fight
pictures, which was to net them a
profit of *180.000.
That she herself was given 25
shares of White Motor Stock, which
her ex-husband told her “didn't cost
us anything."
That at another time she received
27 shares of Pure Oil stock likewise
obtained "without cost.”
That Smith, proprietor of a depart-
ment store in Columbus, amassed a
considerable fortune after coming lo
Washington.
That the dead man was constantly
harrassed by persons seeking ‘‘pat-
ronage” because of his intimacy with
the attorney general.
Through all her story, broken by
sobs. Mrs. Smith stressed the close
friendship Smith had with Daugherty
and insisted that what involved one
involved the other.
HERE’S A BUSY
LITTLE PERSON
A busy man is L. L. Davis, yezzir!
Who Is L. L. Davis?
Well air. he's the deputy in-
ternal revenue collector here in
connection with the infer—er—in-
ternal tax on incomes.
And the gentleman is swamped
at his desk ut the court house. He
is hearing the "whys”, "whats"
and •’woes" of no few illustrious
Supulpans who would let the gov-
ernment know just what they have
rung up in the old till during the
year hut lately concluded.
Among other things we learned
there was that all income tax re-
turns must be in the hands of the
internal revenue collector for this
district or one of his deputies. On
Saturday, the (Jay after tomorrow.

ceived later will be delinquent.

SNOW FAILED TO
HAMPER REVIVAL
TONIGHT WILL BE STUDENTS’ i
NIGHT ON PROGRAM OF THE
GREAT REVIVAL
Despite the snow sterm an audience
that completely filled the large au
ditoriurn of the First Methodist church
heard Evangelist Burke Culpepper in
one of his most spectacular sermons
lust night. The subject announced
was "Killing Big Dogs.”
A song service preceded the Sermon,
which was full of pep and religious en-
thusiasm.
The text was from Judges 10:21.
which related the punishment that
was meted out to Samson, the strong-
est man that ever lived. He hud phy-
sical strength, but liked moral cour
age. Like many of the present day
he consorted with the cnem -■« of God
and the church and they "got him."
"They will get you. too. if you are
not careful.” said Mr. Culpepper
The sermon was based on the glory
of Samson and Delilah. Mr. Culpep-
per described in a most dramatic way
how this strong mau tiad carried the
gates of the city sway on his back:
how- he had killed many; the burn-
ing of his enemies' corn fields, but
one "beautiful but wicked woman
finally got his tag." "There is a bottle
on today of morals vs. money,” said
the speaker. “That explains the awful
condition that prevails in Washington
and other parts of our great country."
“I wish Samson had fallen in love
with some modest Ruth or sweet
Naomi, but instead he fell in love
with one who was an enemy of God.
who betrayed him for the money sh“
could get out of it. She got between
him and his base of supplies. The
devil often gets in between a man or
a woman and their base of supplies.
He brings the dance and the card
party in; he brings in Sabbath dese-
cration and makes you a spiritual (
pauper.”
Notwithstanding the great strength
of Samson, his enemies got him. said
the speaker, anil they will get you.
too. if you are not careful.
The sermon was full of helpful sug-
gestions and dealt with present-day
evils, the speaker pointing out that
“to leave God out of your plans” is
a sure sign of your meeting the same
fate of the great Samson.
Mr. Culpepper illustrated his ser-
mon with the story of his father, when
a young roan having o kernel of dog
and In that numbers was a large one
by the name of Nero. When a beast
was to be punished the whole pack
was called, but not one of the dogs
would take a hold until old Nero got
there and then every other dog would
take hold, according to his standing
in the kennel. When sufficient punish-
ment bud been ministerd. said the
speaker, the little dogs were not
troubled, tiut with a stick or rock he
would knock the stuffin out of old
Nero and every other dog would turn
loose and beat it for tall timber.
The speaker likened the sins of men
to the big dog, saying that each had
a big dog sin, and to kill that sin it
would be easy to handle the rest.
Hot Shots and Pepper Pods
“Women are pretty and cute, but
they are the most expensive luxuries
we men have.
“When a man goes to a beauty par
lor he should he made to wear a
motherhuhbard and named Julia.
“if a woman can make a man look
her square in the eye he is a gone
sucker nine times out of ten.
“I hate to see church members with
one foot in the church and the other
in the world. When a Methodist
steward and his wife give card part-
ies and dances they are grinding out
the enemies' bread supply.
"Put all the Sullivans. Corbets,
Dempseys, and Firpos and all the
other pugilists into one man and he
would not stand one minute before
this man Samson. 1 like a man who
is strong, but do not rely on your
brute strength alone,
“Some men are so small they could
turn a somersault in a capsule.
"Go home and kill your big dog.
Ask your wife what it is; she will
tell you. With some of you it is pro-
fanity and with some It is blind tiger
ticker, while some of you men always
have a grouch.
“With some women their big dug
is complaining. They can dance all
night, but u broom handle gives them
appendicitis, and dish rags give then
hysterics.
“With some women your big dog
is slouchlness. Before your husband
married you he would meet you and
say ‘My. isn’t she a vision,’ but since
yon married he sees you with one
of those miserable old caps on and
your hair done in magic wavers and
he says, ’My God, isn’t she a sight.' ’’
Tonight will be high school night
at the revival. The subject announced
is “Purposeful Youth.” Don't miss it.

BAND’S PROGRAM
A HUGE SUCCESS
MANY PARTICIPATE IN FINE NUM-
BERS DESIGNED TO AS-
SIST BOYS
YOUTH RETURNED
TO PRISON CELL
CLARENCE ICE VIOLATES PACT
WITH JUDGE AND GOES
TO JAIL AGAIN
Into the dutches of the law came
17-year-old Clarence Ice. high school
student, last night when officers ar-
rested him und brought him to the
county Jail on charges of drunken
ness. Nor is this the first time that
young man has occupied a Creek
county jail cell. On Junuary 26 the
boy pleuded guilty before District
Judge Fred Speakman to charges of
burglary, and was sentenced to serve
a term of five years imprisonment at
the state reformatory at Granite.
With faith in the boy's Integrity
and having compassion on his youth
the Judge offered the boy a parole on
condition that he attend school and
ubide by the laws of his country. The
boy promised, was released and at-
tended school faithfully until last
night when It is alleged he violated
the 18th amendment to the national
constitution.
One of the finest programs ever
given in Sapulpa was put on last
night at the high school tor the bene-
fit of the Sapulpa Boys band
A large number of local people took
part and helped make the program a
huge success
The orchestra which was directed
by Stewart Lamb, of the high school,
made a great hit with the audience,
for its fine playing of both classical
and popular music.
Jimmie Wilson’s Catfish String
band made the greatest hit of the
entire program, bringing down great
cheers and laughter from the people.
All of the members of the burlesque
band were dressed in rube town cos-
tumes and all had peculiar instru-
ments, hut all of which made a good
lively band with a lot of music.
The quintet from the Booker T.
Washington school, which is made up
entirely of the factulty of that school,
was probably dne of the biggest fea-
tures of the program. They were en-
cored several times and finally hail
to quit because of the other numbers
of the program.
