CO. ATTY.FREEL1NG
GIVES HIS VIEWS
OF WIDE.OPEN MOVE

PI KE AND SIMPLE, HE
OKLAHOMA CITY
CAN'T AFFORD IT
That at Any Rate Sliaw-
Will Not Follow the
Example.
<& «,
Attorney S. P. Freellng
was interviewed this morning by a
News-Herald representative as to
his Tiews of the much-talked "open-
lag" of Oklahoma City In October,
when the law abolishing the state
enforcement officer becomes effec-
tive, to -bootleggers and gamblers,
and the probability of Shawnee fol-
lowing such a course.
Mr. iFreeling's remarks on the
subject were very emphatic. He
said:
^','The Ftatement that the business
men of Oklahoma City intend to
open the city to whiskey and gam-
Ming in the face of the law If true,
la deeply to be regretted by every
citizen of the state. In its last
analysis, it is anarchy, pure and
simple.
"If one law may be violated an-
other may. If the law against the
sale of whiskey may be violated
with impunity, then the law against
larce y and murder will be violated,
In tbe hope of immunity. I can-
not believe that good citizens of
Oklahoma City or anywhere else,
wtfy attempt anything so rash, and
so destructive of law and order,
upon which we depend for security
of life and property. ' The effort,
if made, must not be permitted to
succeed. Oklahoma City has been
-treated very generously by the peo-
ple of the state, and they cannot
afford to set up as an example to
other cities, that such laws as they
do not like, may be treated with
contempt, and openly violated with
#teir sanction and approval.
"However, regardless of the ac-
tions .! Oklahoma City or any oth-
fr ottv in the state, the example
"will not affect Shawnee in the
slightest degree. No effort will be
made by the thoughtful people of
Shawnee to set aside and treat with
contempt a law which the people
liave solemnly enacted and emphat-
ically approved over and over again.
The law as enacted is supreme, and
will lie enforced In Shawnee and
Pottawatomie county regardless of
the actions of other cities or coun-
ties."
'« 711 ilKUIIVr; DEWED.
The criminal court of appeals de-
nied a rehearing in the case of
Andy Scrlbner of Ada, given life
sentence for murder of his sister-
in-law. Liliie Scrlbner. It was in
this case that Judge Henry M. Fur-
man wrote an opinion construing
the immunity clause of the consti-
tution and statutes.
Judec Furman today delivered an
opinion affirming the conviction of
falter Faucett of Tulsa county,
given four years for manslaughter
on th<> first degree, which also in-
volved the Immunity principle.
Faticett had testified before a cor-
oner's jury. The opinion follows
that in the Scrlbner case.

\SK FOR NEW BIDS.
Oklahoma City, Sept. 11.—Bids for
the erection of buildings at the
^Oklahoma College for Women at
ckasha and the Institute for the
-Minded at Enid were opened
by the state board of affairs yes-
terday, but in each instance they
were in excess of the appropria-
tions. New bids will be asked for.

present figures, since the approprj-
uqjins can not be exceeded.

Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 11—
"Is it really impossible to get from
the public treasury sufficient funds
for public health work?" asked Mr
Lawrence Veiller, director of the
Department of Improving Social
Conditions of the Charity Organiza
tion Society of New York City in
his paper on "Securing Funds for
Public Health Work," delivered this
afternoon before the sociological
section of the American Public
Health Association.
In answering his own question
Mr. Veiller described a campaign in
New York City which cost $385.96
and which resulted in an actual in-
crease in the appropriation for the
New York City Health Department
of $263,500. This is equivalent, Mr.
Veiller pointed out, to the granting
of a fund of five million dollars,
the income of which was to be de-
voted to the prevention of tubercu-
losis. Similar successful campaigns
for an increased appropriation of
$169,000 to the Tenement House De-
partment of New York City, and a
more recent campaign for an ap-
propriation of $414,000 for Bedford
Reformatory, were described by Mr.
Veiller.
"The moral of this plain tale
from the hills is that the public
official needs a 'wicked partner,'"
said Mr. Veiller. "Some one who
will stand behind him and back him
up, and do it all the time.
"It is entirely possible to get all
the money you need for public
health work, but you must show
the fellow who holds the purse
strings that the people want it.
Few health officers can do this;
they cannot with propriety carry on
a campaign of acceleration such as
I have described here. But there
are any number of able men and
women who can do this, nnd who
will contribute money and time and
thought and civic patriotism unceas-
ingly. All that Is needed is to an-
nex them to the public health move-
ment. Mr. Health Officer, why not
try It?"
Statistics purporting to show the
human race is gradually becoming
insane, and a prediction that the
time will come when there will be
more births, were features of
the address before the association
by Dr. J. H. Kellogg of Battle
Creek. Mich., this afternoon.

SCHOOL TO OPEN
MONDAY, SEPT. 15, IS THE DATE
—CLOSE ATTENTION TO
STUDIES IS URGED.
St. Benedict's parish sohool
the corner of Kickapoo and St. Ben-
edict street, will begin its term of
nine months next Monday morning,
the 15th. We insist that the par
ents send their children promptly
from the very first day, so that the
new-comers may be examined and
placed in their respective grades.
The Sisters who are in charge of
the school will demand and rightly
a good deal of home work as
progress can be accomplished
without individual work on the part
of the pupils and this home work
becomes more and more imperative
as the pupil advances in grades
Therefore we ask the parents to co-
operate with the teachers in requir-
ing from their ehWHren regular
hours of sttidy every day.
There will be no change of books
but the teachers will make use of
the state new school books in their
reference work.
Everything possible will be done
to insure the health and comfort
of the children, and we expect the
patronage of all our people and the
friendly, moral support of all our
Catholic friends. Any pupil will be
accepted regardless of creed and no
interference of any kind will be
exercised on the pupils not of our
faith. Tuition is $1.00 per month
with reasonable reduction for more
than one child of the same family.

Sisters, phone 560.
GOV, CRUCE WILL
NOT INTERFERE
PROMISES IF SLAYER GETS
DEATH PENALTY WON'T COM-
MUTE SENTENCE.
Oklahoma City, Sept. 11.—After a
spirited conference lasting for an
hour this afternoon, Gov. Cruce
promised a delegation of Guthrie
citizens that if Lou Green, the negro
who killed two police officers there
Sunday, was given the death pen-
alty, and that conviction sustained
by an appeal court, he would not
commute the sentence to one of
life imprisonment. The governor
would not agree that a sentence of
death could b^ ^executed during his
term of offioe, but said that if the
case came to him he would do no
more than grant a reprieve extend-
ing beyond the time for which he
had been elected.
In the delegations from Guthrie
were Dr. John W. Duke, member
of the state board of medical ex-
aminers; Dr. J. ('. Rucks, Horace
Speed, ex-United States attorney;
Judge A. G. C. Bierer, former asso-
ciate justice of the territorial su-
preme court; C. G. Horner and Rev.
John Abernathy of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South.
It was explained that the crime
of Sunday had whipped the people
into a state of frenzy almost border-
ing on the acts of a mob, that they
were interested in the event the
courts found the double killing mer-
ited the death penalty, In seeing the
court's decree carried out. In view
of the governor's policy manifested
In dealing with capital cases, he
was asked by the delegation what
MR. GAYNOP. HAD SUFFERED
FROM EFFECTS OF HIS OLD
WOUND.
LEFT ON VACATION
ON SEPTEMBER 4TH
His Death Completely Overturns
New York Municipal Political
Situation.
By Associated Press.
New York City, Sept. 11.—Mayor
Gaynor died on the steamer "Baltic"
in mid-ocean Wednesday.
The news was sent here by wire-
less and cable to Robert Adamson,
his secretary, by Rufus W. Gaynor,
his son, who sailed with him. The
message said; "Father died Wednes-
day at one o'clock of heart failure."
When Mr. Gaynor sailed, a fast
failing man, on the morning of
Sept. 4, his purpose was a brief
vacation on the ocean that the
tonic effect of the salt air might
restore his health.
The Baltic was due to arrive at
Queenstown today.
Mayor Gaynor had recently suf-
fered an attack of an old throat
trouble, due to the wound August
19, 1910, inflicted by James J. Gal-
lagher.
Gaynor's death completely over-
turns the municipal political situa-
tion. It removes the candidate ex-
pected to cut heavily Into the vote
of the fusion nominee, John Purroy
Mitchell.
NO ITRTHFR WORD.
No additional information relative
to the identity of the dead bov at
the Fleming & Brown morgue has
been received, and there Is no def-
inite information as to whether Greg-
rey is his name or not. The body

case.
oT the question propounded by
Dr. Duke the governor replied with
some show of feeling that It was
almost impertinent. It was no
more proper, he said, to ask him
what he would do in this case than
it would be to ask the criminal
court of appeals what it intended
