Washington, April 3,—It can
be definitely announced, even in
advance of the report of the
special ageat mow ia Oklahoma
investigating the ease, that
Judge McAtee will be removed
from office, The charges made
against him are of such gravity
and sustained by such over-
whelming proof that there seems
to be lio escape for him,
> •
Information has been received
at the department that the court
docket at Enid has been mutilat-
ed and that there now appears no
official record of the judge's ar-
rest and fine. It is also stated
that the city attorney, in order
to protect the judge, has made
an affidavit that he did not pros-
ecute the case, nor order it pros-
ecuted. In order to complete
this chain af evidence for the de-
fense the policeman who made
the arrest states that at the time
he took Judge McAtee into the
custody of the law that he was
sitting ripou the slaps of a house
occupied by two women and that
Judge McAtee informed him that
he was there for the purpose of
giving them council in regard to
divorce proceeding- which one of
them contemplated instituting.
If these statements are corro-
borated by the special agent the
President will direct the United
States attorney to secure indict-
ments against everyone who was
eonnected with the case. Had
the arrest not beon witnessed by
sever*! reputable persons, who
altervarcis an ,v the court record
and were present when the case
was presented, it is claimed that
the denial might pr«ve effective.
The proof seems to be over-
whelming, and it is not improb-
able that indictments against
several people at Enid will follow
immediately upon the removal of
Judge McAtee.
The above is a dispatch to the
Gnthrie Daily Leader. It con-
tains statements that are not
true. The police record was not
mutilated. The policeman men-
tioned is John Williams, assist-
ant city marshal. He made a
statement to Mr. Robk, special
ageat, detailing the facts of Mc-
Atee's arrest as they occurred.
So lar as we can see the only
man who seem* culpable is City
Attorney Houston and this is
based on a telegram or affidavit
he sent to Washington in his
vain attempt to shield McAtee>
It is true he was not in town
when the record was was made in
police court, but when he arriv-
ed home, he sent the matter
above alluded to. It is under-
stood that the department of
justice placed all the papers in
the hands of Horace Speed, at-
torney general of tha territory,
with instructions to inyestigate.
He knows who tried to aid Mc-
Atee for his relations with the
department are of the olosest
character. The papers will hang
over the heads of certain men
hare like the sword of Damocles.
The frail thread of silence may
be severed any day.
The Commoner.
(Mr Bryant Paper )
The Commoner has attained within
six months from date of first issue a
circulation of 100,000, a record prob-
ably never equaled in the history of
American periodical literature. The
unparaUeled growth of this paper
demonstrates that there is room in the
newspaper field for a national paper
devoted to the discussion of political,
economic and social problems. To
he columns of The Commoner Mr.
Ury an contributes his best efforts;
and his review of political events as
they arise from time to time can not
fail to interest thosi who study pub-
lic questions.
The Commoner's regular subscrip-
tion f>rice is $1.00 per year. We
have arranged with Mr. Bryan where-
by we can furnish his paper and the
dkmockat together for one year for
SI.50. The regular subscription price
of the two paper when subscribed for
separately is $2.

tape, and no delay in getting money.
