from Auditor Baxter that they were not
legally drawn and therefore could not
be audited. Mr. Baxter says that the
law requires that a ]>etition signed by
two thirds of the voters of the city be
presented to the court before such bonds
may be issued. Judge Wolverton of
tho school board is of a different opin-
ion and thinks that the bonds are legal
as drawn.

MOB TO BE INVESTIGATED

Gutiikik: In instructing the federal
grand jury at Mangum, the statement
was made by Associate Justice Gillette
that letters had been forwarded to him
by Governor Ferguson which covered
the alleged attempt of citizens of Man-
gum to mob a colored woman there last
autumn. The judge ordered the jury
to make a thorough investigation of the
alleged mob and to report in full to the
court. It is an unwritten law in Greer
county that no negro shall stop there.
A colored woman came to Mangum,
the county seat, having been employed
us a domestic. A mob formed, it is
claimed, to compel her to h ave, which
she afterward did, in order to appease
it. Officials here covered the matter by
letters to the governor, who m turn
doors four hours of the twenty-four.
4. Thou shalt bathe daily in cold

The council, as a committee of the
whole, passed the bill to equip the uni-
versity at Norman. The bill provides
for the levying of a tax of < ne-half mill
on all property of the territory for two
years. This is the same bill that passed
the house previously.
It .s estimated that this bill will raise
about $ '.">,000 annually. The council
passed the bill providing for three road
commissioners in each township and
places the roads nnder their care and
another requiring applicants for attor-
ney's liceuse to be examined by a com-
mittee appointed by the supreme court.
The committee to examine the sani-
tarium asked for further time, which
was granted.
By a vote of IS to C, the bill of Mr.
Ballinger, an act defining the crime of
harboring criminals, and of providing a
punishment therefore, not exceeding
ten years, was also passed. Also a
council bill bv Mr Foster, fixing juror
fees in the district court at $! per day
Mileage is fixed at o ceuts a mile each
way.
In the house there was a heated de
bate over the action of the council in
turning down the witness and jury fee
bill, which previously passed the lions-.

down without referring it to a com-
mit t e The following bills which have
already passed the council were taken

now ready for the governor's signature.

they will be free range; the bill punish-
ing conspiracies hatched outside of the
territories as well as those in the terri-
tories.

'Ihe legislature visited Fort Supply
for the purpose of tnv» stigatmg the fed-
eral buildings with a view of couvert-
| ing them into territorial uses. (
Monday, Fehrurury S.'l
Both houses of tho Oklahoma legisla
ture converted, but adjourned immedi-
ately on acoount of Washington's
birthday. It is now state (1 that the in-
sane asylum will be placed at Fort Sup-
ply and that the present quarters at
Norman will be used as a prison for in-
corrigible youths for whom Oklalioins
now has no house of correction.

It was thought by the majority tha
the case of Merrick, who attempted to
bulldoze Governor Ferguson into giving
linn ami his wife a position in the sain-
tanum in case it is located at Ft. Sup-
ply, would be up today in the house,
i'his belief drew a goodly number ot
outsider. It was not lrouglu up,
however, and it is not known when tho
matter will be brought up. The 00U1«
inittee appointed to investigate the
sanitarium will not report until aftei
March 1st. Mr. James* introduced u
bill fixing the siaary of the terrri tori id
secretary at |^,()00 a year w ith an al-
lowance of lu.JOO additional tor clerk
in re.
The council by a vote of 10 to 1 agreed
to locate the insane asylum at Ft. Sup-
ply. \\ bile the bill is lengthy its pro-
visions are clear and very simple. It
creates a board of trustees of three, ti e
governor being one and appointing the
other two, with the restrictions, how-
ever, that they must be of different
political faith. This commission is to
appoint a superintendent at a salary of
$2,000, ami he in turn appoints nurses
The Steward—who acts as the purchas-
ing agent—draws 21,000 ami is also ap-
pointed by the commission Three
physicians, appointed in the same way,
ale to act as an inspecting board. Th«
principal feature of the bill is that the
commission has entire charge of th«
asylum, and is given full power to hm*
the fort prepared for the reception ol
the MO insane now confined at Norman.
When this has bet n accomplished, theft
are to be removed.
As is well known the fort is located
in Woodward county, and the building
have been given to Oklahoma for thi»
use. Thirteen of the twenty-five build-
ings are in good condition and the prop-
erty is said to be worth something m
the neighborhood of £8.000. The build-
ings were used as a fort up to 1893
when c.vilization having advanced
far the fort was abandoned and th|
troops withdrawn. Water work* anj
sewers an in op-ration at the fort.
It is reported that in case the asylun
is located at the fort the present ont
will be used as a reform school.

matter of further negotiations was left
with the democratic members of the

asoerta n whether there is a majority of

The Veteran Financier Says the 'Trusts are too Young to Prescribe
a Remedy for Them
Ni w York: Russell Sage, the vet-
eran financier is opposed to trust legis-
lation. Mr Sage is not an advocate of
trust principle*. On the contrary, he
has as-ailed methods nt conn* tion with
th*-ir formation, but In* believes thai th *
time i- not rip*- \,-t t« r legislation regu-
lating combinations of capital and
trusts, 1 le says the tru-t situation lias
not reached a stage where tie* evils
have presented tin mselves in such a
form as t-» warrant regulating.
He says that legislation at tins time
inents and have the American people

time develops where they should h#
applied."
