PARTISAN POLITICS GATHERED
IN EVERY MOVE IN OFFI-
CIAL LIFE
A GRAND JURY DID IT
Sbou Bgn4 for Bank Commissioner
Denali and Coy. Robertson;
Governor Explains -
-
There are two charges against
Commissioner Dennis regarding the
report he made in the Okmulgee bank
examination that need some explan-
ation that of one of the bank officials
overdrawing by loans the amount of
the surplus and capital stock in the
' bank and the twenty-five thousand
dollar check in which it appears Gov-
ernor Robertson shared. These are
statements which probably can be
explained otherwise condemnation
follows. The mere fact that the le-
gislature failed to indict the governor
does not vindicate him in the minds
of the people any more than a seat
in the Vnited States senate by a yir-
lisan votei vindicates Senator New-
berry; when it was known that the
corrupt practice election law had been
violated.
It will be remembered that the last
legislature tried to impeach Governor
Robertson on account of implication
in the Okmulgee bank deal and failed
only en a tie vote enough republi-
cans voting with the democrats to
clear him or fail to indict. The le-
gislature appointed an investigating
committee to investigate the Okmul-
gee bank deal this committee's report
declared that Dennis examined the
bank before the failure and reported
- no excess loans although J. H. Reboki
of Okmulgee was indebted to it in
the sum ef $462000 at the time
whereas the combined capital and sur-
plus of the bank was only $400000.
It further asserted that on the same
day Dennis examined the bank he re-
ceived a check from Rebold for $25-
000 which he said was for a Jackson
county oil lease claimed by the in-
vestigating committee to be practi-
cally .worthless. It charged Dennis
divided the $25000 check betweet

other and that Governor. Robertson
deposited his share in a Vinita bank.
It was asserted Dennis got the $25-
000 check for transferring state
guaranty funds to the bank to save
it.
Govtracr J. B. A. Robertson of
Uleahoma added to a score of sen-
sational inamatioos charges and
c.unta (hares that have been hurl-
ed in the tangled Okmulgee grand
jury bank probes in an interview
with the United Press at Brownsville
Texas and continued on into Mexico
ith an Oklahoma trade party.
1;bbrtsm's interviw which came
as an Okmulgee bar association com-
mittee considered an offer by Zuper-
kir Judge 1-1.R. Christopher to rein-
state the grand jury at Okmulgee
declared the "illegal grand jury had
by partisan activity blocked state ef-
forts to re-organize the failed Ok-
mulgee Bank of Commerce" and that
"many of the men responsible for
the failure of the bank hadbeen im-
munized by the county attorney and
the grand jury". 1
The governor said that prior to the
dismissal of the grand jury by Judge
Christopher he had ordered "the at-
torney general to go to Okmulgee and
do the same thing Christopher did".
A resolution issued by the Okmul-
gee bar association previous to rein-
state the jury declared "we do not
believe" the governor should send'
any appointee to Okmulgee to con-
duct the grand jury investigation
where among other things the gover-
nor himself is being investigated for
bribery.
Robertson in declaring he would
not return to Okmulgee immediately
and take a hand in the affairs which
also involves other Okmulgee county
bank failures said: 1
"For more than six weeks an ille-
gal grand jury was in session at Ok-
mulgee probing the failure of the
Bank of Commerce which closed its
doors last November. During all the
time the grand jury was in session
no honest effort was made to pro-
tect the several hundred depositors
of the failed bank but on the contrary
whenever an effort to reorganize the
bank by the bank commissioner was
made it was defeated by the parti-
san activities of the grand jury work-
ing through the enemies of the state
guaranty law.
"Many of the men responsible for
the failure of the bank had been im-
munized by the county attorney and
the grand jury and they were the
only ones who could reorganize the
bank and save the commercial life of
the community affected. Acting on
advice I had already directed the at-
torney general to proceed to Okmul-
gee and do the very thing Judge
Christopher did. But Judge Chris-
topher had already passed on a simi-
lar motion before the attorney gen-
eralcould get there. The only ob-
ject in sending the attorney general
was to protect the depositors of the
failed bank and also save the other
banks whose existence has been very
much threatened during the so-called
fraud jury investigations of the past
six weeks.
"Naturally the county attorney
and those who thought they had been
immunized from criminal prosecution
are disgruntled. They know they
will eventually have to answer at the
bar of public opinion and are doing
their.best to becloud the issues and
to create and put into circulation
false rumors."
As the arrows indicate oil from the trans-
mission case constantly flows in and out of
the universal joint housing. This automatic oil
flow keeps the uriliversal joint fully lubricated
at all times without any attention on the part
of the car owner.
This Buick feature is invaluable in keeping
the Buick uviversal joint a trouble-free unit.

SATURDAY'S TRADES DAY

COLLINSVILLE OKLAHOMA TUESDAY FEBRUARY 14 1922.
A WINNING TRIP
COLLINSVILLE HI BASKET BALL
TEAM WON THREE OUT OF
FOUR GAMES
THE BOYS SHOW SPEED
N'ivtory Over Dewey Was Big Sur.
prise to Supporters of the
1
Dewey Team
The High School boys basket ball
team under direction of Coach Dyer
returneed Thursday from a short four
game trip in which they counted three
victories to their opponents one. On
Monday night the Sperry five in
spite of speed teamwork and an en-
viabte record of successes were out-
played and decisively defeated by a
score of 37 to 15. Bigheart ad-
ministered the lone defeat of the
tour 'on Tuesday night by a score of
41 to 25 in a game characterized by
much roughness and a lot of bad
luck: for the visitors who at times:
outplayed their opponents. Bigheart
has promised a return game soon in
which the local boys promise to upset
the dope and reverse their luck.
Collinsville annexed the second vic-
tory on Wednesday by taking the
scalp of the Avant basketeers in a
game which at the outset looked
rather distressing for the hometov n
boys.. A rally in the last half how-I
ever replaced the raggedness of the I

first :period and superior speed and
teamwork closed the match with the
long end of the score favoring Col-1
iinsville 33 to 19. 1
 Those making the trip were Riley
Frick Claude McGinnity Homer
Dare Morris Janeway Leon Hersh-
kowitz John Summers and Captain
Rogers Carter. The boys feel that
I the trip was in every way successful
with a single exception which will be
removed when they meet Bigheart
here In the near future.
In 'pursuance of the winning streak
inaugurated by the team the boys
deleted the husky speedsters of the
Dewey High School quintet at Dewey
on Friday night in a game that was
fast end furious in every phase from
the start until the referee announced
the t.in al score 20 to 17 in favor of
Collinsville. This was a- severe set
back to the Dewey fans who had
counted on this as their lone victory
in the Santa Fe league and C. H. S.
is correspondingly elated by their suc-
cess. Incidently the boys avenged
the defeat of the C. H. S. girls in a
game just preceeding the boys' con-
test. Though nearing the season's
close several games will yet be play-
ed at the City Hall where hometown
enthusiasts may see the local boys in
action.
FIFTEEN BOYS BEFORE POLICE
JUDGE
Chief of police Auten took in after
about- fifteen boys Saturday night
who it is said were out too late. The
police fozLe concluded it would be a
good idea rNnake them realize it was
better not to be out so late at night.
Some time after twelve o'clock he
rounded them'''. up and told them to
appear at police court Monday after-
noon. They appeared all right and
after being given a lecture by the
judge they were discharged.
Saturday's Trades Day was pulled
off Saturday in regulation order.

CITY COMMISSIONERS MEETING
City commissioners' met Monday
evening with all the officers present.
City adviser attorney Mr. Long of
Tulsa was also present.
The matter of collecting taxes on
the Brown and Company stock of
goods formerly the New York Store
was taken and upon the advice of
Attorney Long it was decided that
the tax could be collected even though
a part of the store was located at
Bigheart. A motion prevailed au-
thorizing Mr. Long to proceed to
collect the tax.
An ordinance to prohibit prowling
and loitering on the streets after
certain hours at night was ordered
drawn up by the city attorney.
An amendment to the city charter
to move tax collection to Tulsa was
discussed and privately ordered
drawn for consideration by the com-
mission. It was decided that the
sewer and paving tax could not be
moved from Collinsville in as much
as it comes under the city's juris-
diction to collect such tax. That
would be one II of a way for an
abstractor to clear a title to Collins-
ville property which seems now to
be the idea for moving tax collections.

- PLAYED A TRICK.
NUMBER 82
Last Saturday when John Richard-
son drove his little Ford boat up to
the side walk and left it there for
1 few minutes SOnie mischievous guy
turned the coils on the machine.
I They simply wanted to see John
' work a little. He did. After turn-
ing and cranking until he was fairly
worn out John said "well I will
!leave her set a few minutes and then
if she does not go I will try something
else."
John left the car alright and when
he got out of sight his coils were
turned round in the proper shape. He
! returned presently and gave the tau
! a crank and the ignition was fine it
sputtered on first trial. John was
feeling pretty good when his trouble
as over and he went on his way'
rejoicing.
