72000 FOR
UPPORT OF
COLLEGE
Special to the Daily Express.
Oklahoma City April 21. By a vote
of 77 to ! the house this afternoon
passed a bill appropriating 172ob0 for
the maintenance of the Women's Col-
lege for two years. It is believed that
the bill will encounter no difficulties
in the senate. The house baa spent
the entire day ou appropriations.
Except the assertion of members of
the house Investigating committee
that prcbes now in pi ogress will be
continued and completed as soon as
possible Sunday brought no startling
developments in the controversy which
exists between the governor and the
house of representatives. A number
of members of the lower branch criti-
cised State Chairman Tom C. Harrill
of Wagoner for alleged 'meddling; but
the state chairman was not deterred
from his expressed purpose of doing
all in his power to clear up the situa-
tion. The presence of the state chairman
was gmerally discussed at a meeting
of the genera! investigating committee
Sunday morning and two members
even urged that he be brought before
tiie bar of the house for contempt be-
cause of his aliened statements to the
eU'ecl that the committee had precipi-
tated the row. The suggestion was not
seriously considered. The statement
of the state chairman that the inter-
ems of the party are not being mater-
ially benefited by present conditions
was uniformally indorsed and con-
demned by the house members senti-
ment being divided as to his right to
"act as referee."
'i he question of adjetiriimg the legis-
lature or recessing over the summer
ijK !im-o i.iHy tangled up by the big
row beiwnen the governor and the
hoiihe and it is no very uncertain
whtt will be done
Mont of lu: seiialoio who expressed
llieiimelves seeipeil lo tMtik that thr
house must speedily coutiuue. ils in-
vesications and either prepare them-
selves soon to piace their findings be-
fore the senate or admit that they
had got th"mseves in a very bad hole.
The controversy bet ecu the gov-
ernor and the bouse was pictured as
a "slugging match" which had gone
so far that the fight could not be end-
ed without a "knockout."
"Either the house must substantiate
its charges against the governor" said
one prominent senator "or the "house
will find itself in a terribly bad lwsi-
Hon before the people of the state.
There is no middle court that I can
see. And substantiation can only
mean Impeachment charges and
charges which must b'i sustained. This
puts the house to my notion in some-
what of a desperate position: that is
in a iKisiiion where il eeriwinly enn
not. delay matters by a recess until
fall."

PRA
ICAL
TO BE
REQUIRED
Telegram by United Press.
Washington April 21. Merely be-
cause a man is a scientist will not
insure him a job under the VlIson ad-
ministration. He must be a practical
man if the position requires adminis-
trative duties.
The president made this plain today
when he was asked for an audience
with a correspondent on whether it
would be the rule that scientists would
be dealt with separately in consider-
ing their claims to positions.
The president refused to disouss the
case of Willis Moore weather bureau
head removed. He has referred the
situation to the attorney general to
decide whether there will be other
proceedings. .
The reported hitch in the recogni-
tion of China is untrue. The govern-
ment will recognize China as soon as
the assembly provides for a stable
government.
The president is confident that there
wilt be no trouble in the house over
the passage of the tariff till. The
senate situation will be smoothed out
before the measure reaches that body.

NO BIT NO -
RUN GAME
BY FRANCI
Although the Yannigans used t.he
steam of three pitchers In a seven In-
ning game Sunday at University park
they were unable to stop the slugging
of the Regulars which coupled with
a bull market in the Vannigan error
column resulted in a 7 to 0 victory for
the Regulars. Possibly the defeat of
the Regulars by their more plebian op-
ponents a week ago had something to
do with the final count for verily re-
venge is sweet.
Francis went over the entire route
on the mound for th) Regulars and
pitched a no-hit no-run game the
only such performance ever staged at
University park the no-runt part of
it despite the fact that he walked six
men and the team made three errors
behind him. Yesterday's game was
the first practice game of the season
In which Francis has cut them loose
to any degree and the big fellow looks
better than last year.
Felix Lindsay started on the rubber
for the Yannigans went two innings
in which he allowed one hit and
whiffed one. A new twirler by name
Hehn then took charge of the box
and lived three innings. It was his
first workout of the season and while
he has plenty of smoke and quite a
varied assortment of slants he was
wild. Hehn works in good form and
with a little Workout should make
good. The new slabman gave up six
hits and while the seven runs were
made during his reign said runs were
garnered mostly through the error col-
umn. He retired four Regular via
the strikeout route.
Scott worked in the last of the sixth
allowed two hits and whiffed two.
The Regulars started the run get
ting in the third. Francis walked and
took second on Mitehell's infield out
Helm to Gascoigne. Whiteneck run
ning for Francis stole third and scored
On Phillips' fielder's choice to Oas-
rolgne who threw to the plate too late
to catch the runner. Geiss was killed
Hehn to Gascoigne. Shelby was safe
on Heftners error taking second on
an overthrow. Shelby scored from sec-
ond ou Matty's singlo past second.
Hays was safe at first when Harvey
dropped the ball after a strikeout Mat
ty taking second. Matty scored on
Prince's error of Weir's offering to
center. Whiteneck was aa easy out
Welborne to Gascoigne. '
In the fifth frame Ceiss lived on
Welborne's error. Shelby struck out.
Geiss was safe at second on a wild peg
from the plate and scored from that
station on Matty's singlo over third.
Hays and Weir singled and both scor-
ed on Whiteneck's long drive to cen-
ter Whitey taking second on the
throw in Whiteneck stole third
Francis struck out.
Francis got himself in a bad liolo
during tne rourtn round with one
down he walked Jones Harvey and
McKnight In succession loading the
bags. Jones was caught napping off
first and Jacobs fouled out to Francis
retiring the side scoreless.

Chapter one of the Woodward mur-
der case was closed this morning in.
the district court when 'Judge Bailey
sentenced Mrs. Ada Woodward to a
life term in prison following her pica
of guilty entered last week.
Another chapter was opened this
afternoon when the applications of
Mrs. Henry Rivers and John Tremont
also charged with the murder of Sher-
man Woodward for writs of habeas '
corpus were denied by the court and
they were brought into the court for
arraignment. They wero given 2t
hours in which to plead.
Rejecting the advice of her counsel
E. Hamilton to withdraw her plea ot
guilty Mrs. Woodward repeated "I
am guilty" "I don't want to appeal"
and sentence was Imposed.
"You may stand up Mrs. Wood-
ward" said Jud'c Bailey. "You hivtj
been arraigned and have entered a
plea of guilty to the charge ot mur-
der." The prisoner: "Yes Bir."
The court: "Have you anything to
say why the sentence of the court
should not be pronounced?"
The prisoner: "No sir."
The court: "I have no desire to say
anything that would add to moments of
sorrow to the sorrow you have suf-
fered. It is evident from your conduct
in this case that tho fangs of con-
science are already lashing you with
a demon's fury .and insofar aa you can
make reparation for the crime you
have committed it is well you are will-
ing to make that reparation. As a man
I pity you as an officer I pity yeu my
opinion is that the sin for which you
stand before this court is not a bin.
of your own make minds stronger
than yourn had mueh to do with ths
circumstances that bring you .ftere.
Yet however much pity I may fee!
the mandate of thp Ihw is irritable
and your fate i fixed by th ntHiiipi
ot our comrjonweaitn. In my power
there is but one discretion and that
is whether yon are hauled uu'il you
are dead or confined in the sf.it"
prison for your natural life. Thero is
no question if you are guilty of Hid
crime charged you are guilty ot mur-
der" The prisoner: T am guilty.".
The court: "There is no mitigation
except the mitigation that may coma
to you by the influence that were
about you at the time the crime was
committed; and my judgment shall
yield to what I think to be that influ-
ence and my heart shall yield to what
1 believe to bo right by reason of your
womanhood and by reason of your
motherhood. Therefore the sentence
cf the court is that you bo confined in
the state prison now located at Mc-
Alestor for the term of your natnrnt
life. You have the risht of appeal
rrom this sentence it you see fit oi
exercise it."
The prisoners ''1 don't want to a;.

No time h.rs been fixed for taking
Mrs. Woodward to McAlester.
