FIRE PREVENTION
Recently New York bad a “fire pre-
vention day" Officials and Insurance
companies co-pperated to give demon-
strations' of ’the various methods of
safeguarding property and particular
ly of avoiding fires-by the observance
of the laws and the exercise of care
on the part of those In charge of prop-
erty This educational work should
be continued without Interruption
Every city should undertake to teach
the people the truth that firs Is a
needless waste and If every one Is
careful there Is no occasion whatever
for these visitations In the case of
wires and pipes causing the Ignition
of woodwork the blame Is to be
placed upon those who are responsible
for the construction or the main-
tenance of the building It Is possible
now to protect all electric wires so
that they cannot cause the heating of
adjacent materials and all forms of
heating apparatus can be similarly
covered so that they are Innocuous By
keeping matches stored In tin boxes
and out of the reach of children they
are eliminated as a possible cause
for fire The fire loss In any city
would be materially reduced If every
person were careful In throwing away
a match after Igniting It or in casting
aside burning cigar or cigarette
stumps says the Washington Star
Careful attention to greasy waste will
prevent spontaneous combustion Com-
mon sense In the kltcheni will elim-
inate the danger of gasoline or oil
explosions
The Palestine exploration fund has
made very Interesting contributions to
history A press dispatch states that
Messrs Mackenseo and McAllister
working under the auspices of this or-
ganization have unearthed the ancient
city of BethshemeBh about 30 miles
from Jerusalem which was the city of
the tribe of Judah and allotted to the
priests Bethshemesh figured in early
Jewish history In connection with the
calamity that befell Its Inhabitants on
account of their Irreverent handling
of the ark
The number of deaths among avia-
tors is larger than It was because the
number of aviators and the number
of trips are larger Really the rate
of mortality In aviation is undergoing
steady reduction European statisti-
cians assert that laBt year’s deaths
of aviators averaged only one for
each one hundred thousand miles of
air flight whereas the rate was one
for each one thousand miles of flight
as recently as three years ago
Half a century ago the world was
amazed by the discovery of spectrum
analysis which gave astronomers an
opportunity to determine the physical
composition of distant stars Professor
Wood of the department of experi-
mental physics'' has Just discovered
a new aid to Investigations of this
character — photographs taken by
means of rays of light Invisible to the
human eye — the ultra-violet ray the
Infra-red
A cadet has been dropped from
West Point and a student from Yale
for getting married before graduation
The marrying instinct prevails some-
times over the higher education But
possibly the young benedicts will not
be so strong for the connubial ten-
dency after a few years’ experience of
marriage before education is com-
pleted An amateur hunter in Maine who
killed a companion In mistake for a
deer has been ordered to pay 3500 as
a fine to the orphan son of his victim
After a while amateur hunters will be
complaining of the prohibitive fines
which will put the chance of making
such mistakes out of the reach of the
deserving poor among hunters
Despite reports of the continued
Lilllng of hunters and guides under
the Impression that they were deer
an official statement from be Adlron-
dacks If that ?650 deer were killed
In that region and not a single guide
or fellow hunter Deduce as suits your
taste whether this Implies better aim
or worse
A college professor now declares
that love of the romantic or dinging
vine type Is no good Neither may
suit college professors but both have
been In use long before college pro-
fessors were thought of and possibly
will be found In the ring after the-
ories of love have changed fashion
A football star attempted to kidnap
a Pennsylvania girl whom he had un-
successfully courted and landed In
JalL Probably he will have a chance
now to compare the bars of the Jail
with those of a gridiron
When Mr Edison produces that
talking moving picture will not most
of the silent charm of the movies dis-
appear? How many have wished that
‘‘ranter’ were compelled to appear

CRUDE ILL CALL
SPECIAL SESSION
LEGISLATURE WILL ADJOURN
THEN REASSEMBLE TO COM-
PLETE WORK
OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION MUST
BE PUSHED TO THE END
Governor States Extraordinary Occa-
sion Has Arisen For Action—
Practically Every State Offic-
ial From Governor Down
Rests Under Clouds
of Suspicion
Oklahoma City Okla — "It woud be
unfair to the people of the state ana
unfair to the state officials for the leg-
islature to stop short in its investiga-
tions and it would be unfair for us
to expect the legislature to continue
on Indefinitely at $2 per day” said
Governor Cruce discussing a confer-
ence between himself and leaders of
the senate and house at which it def-
initely was decided that a special ses-
sion should be called
“I am ordinarily bpposed to special
sessions of the legislature’’ continued
the governor “and believe they are
justified only by extraordinary occa-
sions That extraordinary occasion
now exists No other session of the
legislature except the first has been
confronted with so many momentous
legislative problems none has had
to deal with such unusual conditions
as the legislative investigations are
disclosing
“Leaving the '’matter of a continu-
ance of the investigations out of the
questoln'the legislature could not sat-
isfactorily complete the purely legisla-
tive work by prolnging the regular
session In the first place as the gen-
tlemen who conferred with me all
thoroughly agree it would be difficult
to keep a quorum of the members pres-
ent In the second place if an attempt
should be made to complete construc-
tive legislation by prolonging the regu-
lar session at $2 per day the work
would be done in a haphazard rush-
ing way and we are all agreed that tne
legislation needed Is of sufficient Im-
portance to the state at large to wan
rant the most deliberate and careful
pjocedure by the legislature
"The legislature has worked hard
out bo much time necessarily has been
spent In matters other than construc-
tive legislation that more time should
by all means be given The cost of
the special session will be offset so
greatly by the results to be achieved
that a special session will be a matter
of pure economy
“Furthermore the official Investiga-
tions must be pushed to the end Prac-
tically every official from the gover-
nor down rests qnder the clouds of
suspicion and It Is only fair to the
public the legislature and the officials
that the legislative probes continue
until an honest fair and searching in-
vestigation has been made into every
department and the honest and effic-
ient officials given their Just credit
and those dishonest or guilty of mal-
feasance properly punished”
House
The house also passed finally with-
out amendment the banking bill from
the senate making a number of
amendments to the depositors’ guar-
antee law The present unlimited as-
sessment feature of the law is changed
so that the annual assessment in ad-
dition to the entrance fee for any
bank shall not exceed one-fifth of one
per cent with the exception of during
the fiscal years of 1914 1915 and 1916
when an additional special assessment
of one-fifth of one per cent may be lev-
ied in the discretion of the banking
board When the guarantee fund shall
reach a sum equal to 2 per cent of
the average daily deposits In the state
assessments shall cease The Issu-
ance of 6 per cent warrants to pay
depositors in failed banks Is author-
ized where there is not sufficient cash
in the fund this has to be accepted by
the state treasurer as securities for
state funds To pay these warrants
a first lien is created on the assets of
all state banks and all institutions un-
der the guarantee law must put up
with the board approved securities of
not less than $500 in value to the
amount of the liability of each toward
the outstanding warrant Indebtedness
The bouse passed finally the Wyand
bill to regulate the practice of dentis-
try the Austin senate bill to appro-
priate $14000 for salaries and ex-
penses of additional district Judges
the Barrett bill abolishing the office
of public defender which now goes to
the governor for approval and the
Franklln-Mclntosh bill td abolish
police judges in cities of 10000 or less
and confers the duties upon the mayor
The house adopted the formal arti-
cles of Impeachment against Ferry A
Ballard state insurance commissioner
charging him with accepting a bribe
and corruption in office and the board
of managers was appointed to conduct
the trial on behalf of the house before
the senate sitting as court of impeach-
ment The house passed finally the sen
ate hill by Garrett which as finally
amended locates the state school for
the blind at Muskogee and appro-
priate $75000 for building
Perry A Ballard state lnBurano
commissioner was indicted by the Ok
lahoma county grand Jury chargee
with bribery Farris was removei
from office by Impeachment Just
recently Only a few hours be-
fore the Indictment of Mallard was
announced the impeachment commit-
tee of the house reported to that body
recommending removal from offee of
Ballard for alleged acts Involving
gross neglect of duty Incompetence
corruption In office and moral tur-
pitude The report was adopted by
the house by unanimous vote
Since the passage of the bill through
the house requiring the payment of
a cash poll tax of $150 between Jan-
uary l and March 1 so many members
have been hearing from home that a
number of the Democrats who were
most anxious to railfoad the measure
through the legislature voted against
attaching the emergency clause to the
measure in the house The bill only
secured forty-seven votes in favor of
adopting the emergency or nlnteen
too few to put it through where the
people could not invoke the referen-
dum against It
The Harrls-Day code will go Into ef-
fect immediately upon the governor
slgnnlg the Cook bill which has now
passel both houses If the house
agrees to senate amendments The
senate advanced the bill to final pass-
age Another amendment authorizes
riparian oWners to sue the state to
determine their rights to sand and
gravel or oil In the beds of streams
?nd ties the hands of the school land
commissioners to they cannot let any
sand and gravel contracts until more
legislation is enacted
By a vote of 40 to' 37 the house com-
mittee of the whole passed to final
roll call the omnibus appropriation
bill for the support of the twenty-
three educational institutions The bill
carries an apropriation of $1721969
for the support during the years 1913
to 1915 inclusive Alterations in the
bill reduced the appropriation $44023
Under the bill as amended the Tahle-
uah Normal receives but $58217 for
the three years and the Wilburton
School of Mines $18000
Two appropriation measures one for
salary and mileage of district Judges
and the other to combat the smallpox
epidemic have been approved by Gov-
ernor Cruce The first measure which
is senate bill No 193 by Austin pro-
vides for the appropriation of $12000
for salaries of district Judges of the
state and $2000 for mileage The sec-
ond senate hill No 356 by McAlister
of the senate and Hunter of the house
provides an appropriation of $10000
on account of the smallpox epidemic
Vn
The house passed finally elghty-slx
to seven the Vandeventer bill from
the senate fixing the legal passenger
fare In the state at two and one-quarter
cents a mile until provided other-
wise by the legislature or order of the
corporate commission The ' bill was
amended so as to re-establish two cent
fare in Oklahoma should the supreme
court of the United States uphold the
legality of that rate before another
legislature meets
The house adopted In committee of
the whole the Wyand bill regulating
the practice of dentistry after It had
been amended so as to prevent the re-
vocation of a license to practice by
the board until after conviction in a
court of competent Jurisdiction
Senate
Senate bill No 395 proposed to take
away from the governor the power to
appoint the warden of the penitentiary
at McAlester and vest this authority
in a board composed of the chief exec-
utive the attorney general and the
i resident of the board of agriculture
met its expected fate when it was re-
turned to the uper house unsigned The
veto came as no surprise although the
bill has been on the governor's desk
several days Had there been any
further delay however in the gover-
nor's action the measure would have
become law Immediately as result of
the statute of limitation in such legis-
lative procedure That the effect of
such an act would be to legislae War-
den R W Dick out of office and cast
the imputation upon the governor that
he is incapable of discharging his
sworn duty in making apoplntments
Is the substance of a brief message
which accompanied the disapproved
bill “Under ordinary conditions” de-
clares Governor Cruce in this message
“1 would be glad to approve a bill that
would transfer from the governor to
other officers the responsibility ol
making appointments to office but un-
der the peculiar conditions that exist
In this instance I must decline to give
my approval”
The senate failed to pass over the
governor's veto the railroad hospital

Senator Graham chairman of the
senate committee on fish and game re-
ported to the senate bill No 810 pro-
viding for a forestry department with
the recommendation that the bill “dc
pass" This bill If it passes and be-
comes a law will be one of the start-
ers in the conservation and develop-
ment of our natural resources It com-
monly is admitted by the best authori-
ties on economics that there is no bet
