Oklahoma City — Events moved rap-
idly toward a climax in Oklahoma
when the general investigating com-
mittee of the house of representatives
brought in an indictment against
Governor J C Walton containing 22
counts the house voted to impeach
him promptly on two charges and the
senate with one dissenting voice de-
clared that pending his formal trial
Walton must yield his office to Lieut-
Gov Martin Edward Trapp
Oklahoma was making history for
the impeachment of a governor is no
common thing In the nation Every
precaution was taken to clothe with
perfect legality every step in the pro-
ceedings designed to divest Governor
Walton of his title and power
The more careful were the legisla-
tive leaders when It seemed to have
become certain that the governor
would “face the music as he put it
and seek to obtain vindication at the
hands of the senate court of impeach-
ment Governor Walton had made it plain
he intended to take every advantage
contest every act of the legislature
which might hare been performed
through an overestimate of the as-
sembly’s powers No sooner had the
senate passed the resolution suspend-
ing him than the governor sent his
attorneys before District Judge T G
Chambers in Oklahoma City with an
application for a restraining order en-
joining Trapp from assuming ofTice
Judge Chambers who incidentally
was appointed to his office by Gover-
nor Walton last spring granted a tem-
porary order bolding up the effective-
ness of the suspension resolution and
told lawyers for both sides to be in
his courtroom again the following af-
ternoon to argue whether the injunc-
tion should be made permanent
Walton’s application for the re-
straining order read that the “title to
the governor's office is not Involved
in this dispute and then asked that
he be given permission to proceed
with exercise of all the executives
power under his title without inter-
ference from any source
No sooner had Judge Chambers is-
sued his restraining order than Attor-
ney General George F Short who a
short time before had formally de-
clared the senate’s suspension resolu-
tion legal went into the state supreme
court with an application for that tri-
bunal to take original jurisdiction of
a petition for a writ 'of prohibtlion
against Judge Chambers
The Judges retired to their confer-
ence room after Short had recited the
day’s happenings Within a few minu-
tes they reappeared and announced
that the court would take Jurisdiction
An alternative order was Issued at
once directing Judge Chambers and
Governor Walton to appear and show
why they should no be prohibited
from lnterf erring with Trapp's succes-
sion to the governorship
The constitution provides that the
Finley of Elk City and Varnum of
Seminole voted for Walton’s lmpesch-
ment on the charges of corruption in
the purchase Of bis borne' - Thorns-
brough from Coalgate who has stood
with Walton oar every- other charge

GOVERNOR OF OKLAHOMA
lieutenant governor shall become the
chief executive upon impeachment of
the governor arid it was for the court
to decide whether “impeachment” in
that case referred to the outcome of
the trial before the senate or to the
mere bringing of the accusation
Trapp was declared acting governor
of Oklahoma in a decision of the court
late Thursday making permanent a
writ of prohibition against Walton and
Distinct Judge Tom G Chambers re-
straining them from Interfering in any
way with M E Trapp in his perfor-
mance of the duties of governor
The court declared that Ince the
constitution of the state provides the
way of succession of lieutenant gov-
ernor to the office and compensation
of governor and that when he does
succeed the duties of the office de-
volve upon him and since those pro-
visions had been met the district
judge nor any other court had any
right to interfere with him
The senate action was taken Im-
mediately following the appearance
before it of Representatives W E Dis-
ney of Muskogee chairman of the
bouse investigating committee James
R Tolbert of Hobart vice-chairman
and T H Wren of Okfuskee county
with word that the house had voted
Impeachment on two counts
The house voted Impeachment first
on Article 2 of the committee’s bill
the charge that Walton had misused
public funds by having his private
chauffeur T P Edwards carried on
the payroll of the state health depart-
ment as an Inspector in the veneral
disease control bureau The vote was
80 to 17 -
Almost at once the house adopted
75 to 23 the article charging that the
governor had committed an impeach-
able offense when he directed the na-
tional guard to prevent convening of a
grand jury in Oklahoma county to in-
vestigate acts of the chief executive
Senator W M Gulager of Muskogee
introduced the resolution suspending
Walton pending trial and Senator
Jack Barker of El Reno was the lone
solon voting against it Sergeant-at-arms
"Dick” Louthan was directed to
serve Walton with a copy of the reso-
lution upon his arrival at the execu-
tive offces the following morning
Secretary of State R A Sneed fore-
warned of the bouse action closed his
office early to avoid attesting pardons
and paroles which it was expected the
governor would grant should his ten-
ures of office seem to be nearing its
close Attorney General Short how-
ever held that Sn-ed must accept and
file all orders of clemency granted up
to the actual hour when the senate
voted suspension
Lieut-Oov Trapp was in Sapulpa
when the senate voted to put him in
the saddle hut came quickly to the
capital He said on arrival that he
Would be governed strictly by the law
and would not ' pei mlt himself to be
placed in the attitude of forcibly oust-

In considering the impeachment MU
the house adopted a course of proced-
ure unique in Oklahoma removal his-
tory — and this state has had more
than its share of such matters At the
suggestion of Chairman Disney him-
self the house voted to hear every
word or testimony tsken before the in-
vestigating committee Disney direct-
ed the reading so that the members
might hear all evidence relating to one
charge just prior to tbo formal roll
call on that charge
There was a tremendous mass of
evidence taken and tianscribcd but of
all the witnesses examined the great-
est interest was evinced by the house
In the story of the first to have his
testimony read aloud— Aldrich Blake
erstwhile private secreary and coun-
sellor to Walton
Blake and Dr E T Bynum ’’tat
bank commissioner were summarily
removed late one afternoon and be-
gan a series or appearances before
the house investigators that very even-
ing Blake’s connection with the Walton
administration to accept his own ver-
sion of It was a long series of pro-
tests against policies and Individual
acta Throughout his testimony the
Impression was left that he was not
on the "inside” when policies were
determined upon
Blake said his recent trip to the
east was upon his own initiative and
for the purpose of collecting funds to
continue the antl-Ku Klux Klan fight
Governor Walton had nothing what-
ever to do with the plan for the trip
Blake saldbutconsented to it and nd
vanced 11000 for his expenses
Blake sought aid from Ralph Pullt-
er publisher of the New York World
he testified rulitser’s was the only
name mentioned but summarising
the trip Blake said the trip was a
complete failure
Blake testified that state employes
had contributed to a fund collected
by Roscoe Hadley Oklahoma City
druggist with which a limousine had
been purchased for Walton Walton
gave him a sedan Blake testified and
other evidence showed the money was
later donated by oil men
Blake said the governor's really in-
fluential and respected advisers were
Patrick S Nagle attorney for the So-
cialist party in the state Charles H
Ruth and Joel S Estes both now su-
preme court commissioners by Wal-
ton’s nomination
A dosen or more house members
forcibly attacked J W Callahan Wag-
oner representative smashed a chair
and threw Callahan out of tbo room
when he declared in a bitter arraign-
ment of the Ku Klux Klan that N C
Jewett grand dragon of the Oklaho-
ma realm of the klan was dictating
to the house
Callahan’s words hardly fell in the
house chamber before one member
shouted "that’s a black lie” One mem-
ber sprang at Callahan’s throat and
both fell on the floor in a scuffle
Twelve or fifteen other members j-uso-ed
toward Callahan most of them en-
deavoring to place their hands on him
Sergeants at arms and virtually all
other members of the house rushed to
the corner where the scuffle was tak-
ing place
It took Jess Harper acting speaker
ten minutes to quiet the frenxied
panting solon s who took offence at
Callahan’s charge
After house members had been ord-
ered back into' their seats H&rpet
said "There things are awfully re-
grettable I hope this never happens
again”
During the House consideration of
the first thirteen articles the highest
vote scored by Walton members was
twenty-six ranging from that down to
ten — -‘—-'I

victed of muider and conjoint robbery

date' was issued to Farr Garner
A J Jedlicka deputy - warden of the
penitentiary when informed of the
pardon said it had not been received
and would not be honored when received-
-
"No pardons or paroles issued by J
C Walton suspended by action of th
legislature were to be honored” said
Jedlicka
"Instructions from ' the legislature
committee to not recognize Governor
Walton’s orders will be observed to

Fitting Stock for Show
Requires Careful Work
Fitting cattle for show means the
preparation of aa animal to appear at
Its beat With the meat-producing
animals fattening Is the most Im-
portant part of fitting but the fat
must be firmly and evenly laid oa
This holds true with breeding animals
as well as market stock While the
breeding animal may never go directly
to the block Its value depends oa Its
ultimate ability to produce meat stock
it cannot demonstrate this ability in
thin condition The Judge has to
make bis award on the animal as It
appears before him not on what It
might be like if given a fair chance
The failures &f new exhibitors are
mainly due to poor fitting and show-
ing Most Judges prefer to encourage
bow exhibitors where possible and
generally regret to turn down good
possibilities for lack of condition
Getting an animal fat enough Is
only part of the problem tt Is a
greater problem to get It at Its best at
Just the right time After show cattle
have reached their primes their flesh
may get hard or too soft and blub-
bery Sheep may be so highly fitted
that they are practically ruined for
breeding purposes Ideal condition or
"bloom” Is reached when the covering
of fat Is evenly distributed over the
body and is springy but firm and
smooth Rolls or lumps of fat that
appear on the ribs or around the tall-
head are objectionable but are some-
times hard to avoid Where animals
are to be carried In show condition
over a fair season lasting five or six
months they are started In compara-
tively light condition both on account
of the warm weather and the danger
of overdoing them later
Hand-Rearing of Orphan
Foals Is Difficult Job
With the best of good fortune there
are always a few orphan foals to be
cared for every year and their feed-
ing Is a problem to those who have
never attempted U on --artificial food
supplies -Hand-rearing
is not an easy task
and involves close attention to details
Naturally cow’s milk Is the common
substitute for the milk of the dam
but It requires some slight modifica-
tion If possible choose a cow that
has calved recently and one whose
milk Is not rich In butterfat
Dissolve about a tablespoonful of
sugar— preferably white sugar— In a
little warm water To this add three
to five tablespoonfuls of lime water
and then a sufficient quantity of cow’s
milk to make a pint Lime water not
only serves to dilute the milk but It
also tends to correct digestive trou-
bles v
The amount to feed Is about ' one-
quarter to half a pint at each feeding
at first The feeding periods should
be about one hour apart for the first
few days
When a foal suckles it does so fre-
quently but It only takes a small
amount at a time -
Total Returns From Ewe
Estimated at About $50
A sheep or lamb carcass has valuo
only once as such and that la when
sold for slaughter Speaking general-
ly' n ewe when bred for her first
lamb la at tho most valuable period
of her life If the sheep and lamb
market does not fluctuate if worth
910 then she Is worth on the average
only about $4 when discarded after
having produced say five lambs Dur-
ing her useful life of seven years she
produces seven fleeces of about eight
pounds each 'and worth 45 cents a
pound at present prices She there-
fore grows wool to tho valuo of 32320
On the average she will raise about
four lambs daring her five breeding
years and one of these will be re
talned to replace the dam three being
sold for slaughter or fattening at $7
each or $21 for tbo lambs Tho ewe
will aril for about $4 making $25 re-
ceived from animal sales and 32520
from wool sales or a total of $5020
Lack of Cleanliness Is
Cause of Many Diseases
Nearly all disorders or diseases of
calves says tho United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture are caused either
directly or Indirectly by lack of clean-
liness Filth whether It Is la feed
pent bedding or palls and utensils Is
dangerous to th health' of tho calf
To be on tho safe side use nothing
but clean milk (sweet or soar) scald
the palls or sterilise them with steam
remove old feed from tbo boxes and
clean them dally - Filth and dirt are
the natural breeding places of many
bacteria that krill cans disturbances
