' FACTS NOT MUCKRAKING
MEIER IS FIRST WITNESS
Hearing of Charges Preferred by D
poeed Professors Is Under Way
and Will Continue Unltl They
are Thoroughly Probed
Oklahoma City — Airing of the
charges against thd state board of
education was commenced Thursday
afternoon in a publi-j hearing btforo'
' Governor Cruce Dr Henry Meier
- deposed by the board as bead of the
department of German at the state
university who is now employed in
the same department at Vanderbilt
university Nashville Tenn was the
' only witness examined at the first
session His direct examination was
concluded just before adjournment
' He will be subjected to cross-examination
when the hearing is resumed’-
It is not expected that any of the
other witnesses will take up as much
time as did Meier as he is the chief
witness for theprosecution It was
he who made the investigations and
obtained the affidavits on which the
' opponents of the board are relying
primarily in the hearing Meier testi-
fied in regard to bis own dismissal
without a hearing and without
charges and also related the result of
his investigations in regard to Lynn
- Glovey now president of the Tonkawa
preparatory school and PariB Pers-
well selected financial agent of the
state university to succeed W W
Williams
Governor Cruce had stated at the
beginning of the hearing that this is
not to be a "muckraking proposition"
and that he would not consider
charges against the character of any
employe of a state school unless it
could be shown that members of the
board knew of conditions at the time
the appointment was made Meier’s
testimony was calculated to show that
such knowledge was inthe possession
of some members of the board in
both of those cases
The hearing was opened with a
statement from Governor Cruce in
which he announced that he would
not be bound by technical rules of
N evidence but would try to get at the
facts in any manner possible so far
as they affect members of the board

panion LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA
"While attending school at Lebanon
Ohio In 1832 I became afflicted with
boils which lasted for about two
years when the affliction assumed the
form of an eczema on my face the
lower part of my face being Inflamed
most of the time There would be
water-blisters rise up and open and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn and cause another one to
rise ' After the blister would open
the place would scab over and would
burn and itch so as to be almost un-
bearable at times In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be a solid sore This con-
dition continued for four or five years
without getting any better and in fact
got worse all the time so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest It
prove fatal
“During all this time of boils and
eczema I doctored with the best phy-
sicians of this part of the country but
to no avail Finally I decided to fry
Cutlcura Remedies which I did tak-
ing the Cutlcura Resolvent applying
the Cutlcura Ointment to the sores
and using the Cutlcura Soap for wash-
ing In a very short time I began to
notice Improvement and continued to
use the Cutlcura Remedies until I was
well again and have not had a re-
currence of the trouble Blnce which is
over twenty years I have recom-
mended Cutlcura Remedies to others
ever since and have great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases"

Tuberculosis Patients Neglected'
Out of more than 225 public hos-
pitals for the Insane with a popula-
tion of fully 150000 only 70 or less
than one-third make any provision
for their tuberculous Inmates and
this too in spite of the fact that the
percentage of deaths from this dis-
ease is very high among this class of
people Such Is the substance Of a
statement made recently by tbe Na-
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis Seventy
hospitals In 28 states providing all
told about 3350 beds for tuberculous
Insane patients sums up the provision
made for this class of sufferers al-
though the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis among the Insane ranges
from 50 to 200 per cent higher than
among the general population -
