Terrible Conditions at Granite.
As ooo rottoo potato can contami-
nate a wholo barrelful, >o with tho
poor tacllltlos tho/ have to work with,
orlmo and tho lowest forms of Tice
are disseminated through tho reform
story at Oranlta. This was the state-
ment of F. U. Murray, a guard of the
Institution before the Investigation
hearing conducted by tha office of the
commissioner of charities and correc-
tions.
Mr. Murray declared that If the
authorities of the Institution could
send to McAlester the worst of the
prisoners that the abuses against na-
ture and the depraved condition that
exists would be materially lessened.
He said tbe building prohibited any
ldaa of segregation ajid that cells
would be of no material value in
checking tbe evils, but that It was
necessary to either transport or to
separate from the other inmates cue
forty or more hardened criminal' to
bring the relief that was so much
seeded. He declared that sodomy
was carried on In tho Institution and
that the guards had sought to break
ap tbe practices but they had diffi-
culty in apprehending tbe prisoners in
the sot or suspecting who were the
guilty ones.
When asked If he considered Ward-
en Keed a man Qualified for the posi-
tion, the witness stated that Mr. Keed
was a business man and attended to
the business end of the institution.
He said be turned over to Deputy
Warden Hackett tbe management of
Itie prisoners and the guards, al-
though he considered the cases of cul-
prits when they were brought before
him. The witness said he had never
seen the warden or assistant warden
drunk, although he had seen the ward-
en after he had been drinking. Ho
•aid Mr. Hackett never drank so far
as ke knew.
Testimony of Love.
Johnny Love of Sharon, formerly
connected with the Institution as a
guard, declared that be had been
vunk on aaver&l occasion! while on
duty and that he had seen Warden
Keed when he looked like he had “a
lag ou." Hackett, he declared was a
profane man and a partial man. Tbe
Witness stated that he had heard the
mmora that sodomy was practiced but
gist he did not know this for certain,
■e said under the ciroumstances It
would be difficult to atop auch a prac-
Bce In the buildings that were occu-
pied.
Cruae Approves School Measures.
Contrary to expectation, the fifteen
school measures, carrying appropria-
tions of approximately |7tHI,«KKl. were
approved by Governor Cruce. It is
understood, however, that although
the governor Is opposed to the num-
ber of schools In tbe stale, be felt that

Effort Mads to Oust Lon Frame.
Acting for the state, Attorney Gen-
eral West filed In the supreme court
quo warranto proceedings against Lon
M. Frame, alleging that he is unlaw-
fully holding office as a member of
the stats board of affairs. The peti-
tion sets forth that the appointment
of Frame had not been confirmed by
the senate and that be is without
legal right to the position. Frame was
given until May 6 to “show cause, if
he haa any, why the court should not
make an order to oust him.”
The taking of the case to the su-
preme court followed the action of
Judge George W. Clark in the district
court In overruling the writ of man-
damus brought by Frame to compel
State Auditor J. C. McClelland to al-
low his salary claim as a member of
the board of affairs. The decision in
the lower court was handed down on
April 19 when Judge Clark held that
the proper mode of procedure to de-
termine whether Frame Is aclng with-
lng the law by remaining on the board
Is through quo warranto proceedings.

One of the striking features In pres-
ent day home building Is tbe popular-
ity of tbe square type of houses of
the Italian villa style. This has been
dubbed by some “dry goods box"
architecture, but nevertheless It has
gained a wonderful popularity and de-
serves our approval, because of the
simple beauty, economy and conven
lence of this style of bouse.
This la a thoroughly modern devel-
opment In borne architecture. It
marks the other extreme from tbe
elaborate, badly cut up houses cover-
ed with fret work and Jig saw orna
mentation which were so popular a
generation ago.
The accompanying design is a very
good example of this new style of
home architecture. Its simple, mass-
ive lines possess real dignity and
beauty and tbe square outline of the
house m&kee It most economical to
build and at tbe same time permit a
very convenient and satisfactory ar
rangement of the interior.
For a house of this slxe, 27 feet 6
inches by 23 feet 6 inches. Just about
tbe maximum amount of spaciousness
is secured by the arrangement shown

is paneled off witb broad wooded

there being four brackets at each
corner. Similar brackets also appear
on tbe porch columns to supiort the
projecting porch cornice
The exterior of this house may be
colored in a number of ways to be
very beautifjl and effective One
color scheme that looks very well Is

Shrewd Business Trick.
He had sold his farm to a neighbor
for a young heifer (this was east of.
the Rockies) and he was chuckling
visibly as he tied the heifer to the
back of the cart containing bis house-

kitchen ^effectually from the rest of
tbe house.
Ou the second floor there are two
good sized bedrooms, each with a

Officlal O. K. On State Secretary.
The official O. K. of tbe at&te ex-
aminer and inspector has been placed
on the work of the office of secretary
of atate, according to the report of
that department, which is just com-
pleted. No exception la taken by the
examiner and inspector to any of the
records of fees received and disburse-
ments made during the prlod from
January 10, 1910, to March 81, 1913.
Th report shows the office to be con-
ducted efficiently and the hooka to bs
In excellent shape.
During the period covered by the
report, collections have been received
to the amount of $166,893.34, while
the sum paid Into the atate treasurer
is 9166.893.76, the discrepancy of 42
cents being due to a clerical error
during the last quarter covered by the
report.
The amount of fees received In the
office, according to the report, during
the last quarter show's an increase
over the previous quarters, due In a
large measure to the number of new
corporations which are beingfl char-
tered in the state.
Distribution of Report Stopped.
The state board of agriculture is now
at a standstill In the distribution of
its quarterly report, which is Just off
the press. Twenty thousand of the
reports have been printed and already
there has been a call for 60 000 of
them, and the department is without
funds to defray the expense of pos
tage. The department regards this
pamphlet as the most comprehensive
work it ever has published in that it
! furnishes Information on practically
| all of the staple orops grown In Okla-
homa, treating scientific selection ot
seed, cultivation and the harvesting
of the crop. But the funds of the
department are insufficient to furnish
the material to the wide-awake farm-
ers throughout the state.
As yet only 6,000 of the reports
have been distributed of the entire
J number of 20,000 which have been
printed, and application has been
made for 60,(100 more. It Is expected
that the number of calls for the book-
let will mount up to 100.000, but the
printing fund for this purpose Is ex-

This Applies to Cats.
It is a fact that a lion's or a tiger's
whiskers once taken off will never
grow again. These animals shed their
hair ordinarily once a year, all except
the whiskers. The Bhedding depends
entirely upon the climate, and there Is
a peculiar connection with It.
Men who have taken wild animals
from Asia and Africa to Europe say
that they never knew a lion or a tiger
or any animal of the cat species to
