New York, May 5:—Theodore
Roosevelt has a signed article en-
titled "Murder is Murder" in the Out-
look this week- It deals with the
blowr'ug up of the Los Angeles Times
and the aiv*ipsts recently made by I)e
tective Burns. \ Mr. Roosevelt says:
"There is one feature- of the devel
opments as regards the arrest oi«oer.
tain alleged labor men in connect!
with the dynamite outrage perpetr;
ed against the Los Angeles Times t<\
which especial attention should bev
called. If the explosion was not an
accident, but the deliberate act of
any man or men, it was an outrage
of dastardly iniquity, for it was one
of those crimes In which the mur-
derer, in order to gratify his spite
against an individual, not merely
wrecked that individual's property,
but, with callous indifference takes
the lives of scores of Innocent peo-
ple as an incident to the achievement
of his einster and criminal purpose.
Responsible for Many Lives.
The men responsible for dynamit-
ing the Los Angeles Times building
are responsible not only for the wreck
of the newspapei offices but for the,
loss of many lives.
"The arrest was made in conee
quenee of testimony secured by Mr >
Burns, who has been Mr. Heney'ij
right hand man in bringing to justi«/,
grafters who violated the law of tl(je
United States in Or gon and grafted
who violated the laws of California
in San Francisco, lie has proceed/. ,i
with impartial severity against '/he
most influential politicians and ''the
richest business men. It haj/pens
that the men whom he has ncyw ar-
rested are members of a labor,Organi-
zation; just as men whom he formally
arrested were members of,the repub
lican or democratic par ;ies or of a
great and wealthy corporation.
"•It would have bee^i a wicked thing
ir. Ihv fovroe*-TOWi's with which Mr.
Burns had to do for leading republic-
ans or democrats to combine to break
him down and support the accused
merely because the accused belonged
to their political parties, and it would
have been a wicked thing for big cap-
italists and big business men to make
common cause with the capitalists
against whom he proceeded merely
because they were capitalists.
He Condemned Capitalists.
Whenever any politician of either
party or any capaitalist did actually
take this position, whether in the
case of the men prosecuted by Mr.
Burns or in any other case, the Out-
look unhesitatingly and severely de-
nounced them. In exactly the same
spirit I slate the convictions of the
Outlook in expressing its hearty re-
probation of the conduct of those la-
bor leaders who, without waiting to
know anything of the facts of the case
have at once flown publicly to the de-
fense of the alleged dynamiters whom
Mr. Burns has now arrested and who
talk about the arrest as being part of
a conspiracy against labor unions.
"No worse service can be rendered
by uabor union leaders to the cause
of unionism than that which they ren-
der whm they seek to identify the
cause of unionism with the cause of
any man guilty of a murderous at-
tack of this nature.
Capital 11 us Hone Such Things
"Undoubtedly there have been re-
peated cases where representatives of
capital have endeavored to prevent
successful as8alut on abuses commit-
ted In the interests of capital; and in
every such case, no matter how
wealthy or in fniential the offender,
the Outlook believes that he should
be condemned. It now takes the same
attitude when the question is one of
identifying the cause of unionism
with alleged murder, that it has al-
ways taken when this question was
one of identifying the cause of capi-
tal with alleged corruption; and it ap-
peal's to the honest, and law-abiding
laboring man exactly as it apoeals to
the honest and law-abiding business
man: for both are. first of all, Ameri-
can citizens, whose attitude towards
the fudamental principle of morality
and good citizenship must be identi-
cal.
"Whether we do or do not approve
the po|icy of the Los Angeles Times
—and the Outlook very heartily dis-
approves of its policy on certain mat-
ters—has nothing to do whatever
with the question; the stern repres-
sion of murderous violence — above
all. of murderous violence under cir-
cumstances of such eowardfy infamy
as always accompany the use of dy-
namite—must, of necessity, be a
prime need of any civilization calling
itself such.
Thy Onh Question at Issue.
"Whether the man attacked is a
capitalist or a socialist, a wage-earn-
er or a professional man, has nothing
whatever to do with the question;
and whether the man attacking him
does or does not belong to any or-
ganization whether of labor or capi-
tal, whether soda/ or religious has
nothing to do with the question. The
one and only question is as to the
guilt or innocence of the men ac-
cused. Any man who seeks to have
them convicted If they are innocent
is guilty of a crime against the state
and any man who seeks to have them
acquitted if guilty is also guilty of a
crime against the state."
"(JAY IMREK" IS REVOLTING.
Many Citizer.U Are Considering Steps
to Close the Show.
A considerable protest is being
made among the people of the city
against the show at tlie carnival
known ;i "Gay Paree." It Is said
|t!iat the show is decidedly immoral:
that the persons who appear are
not dressed in decency and that
J heir act8 are not intended to do
col Per than corrupt and disgust the
1 people. The protest fs not raised
far as can be learned, on f.lie
theory of public indency only, but
Vparticularly because it is believed
What the youth who attend cannot
^n t be injured and comprised and
ecrrupted by it.
While no action has been taken
to close it, there is talk to thaf
feffect and a number of men are
said to be willing to take direct
steps toward the cldSTfig of that
p.<iticular show and discountenanc-
ing the entire carnival. ,nThe car-
nival idea has nothing in it to rec-
ommend it to the public'' said a
prominent business man today, "It
takes money out of the city for
v hich there is not the sign of re-
turns, and it leaves in its wake
a strong trace of corruption. I can-
not see why we should be pestered
and annoyed by this kind of thing
any further."

Norman, May 5.—Rumors of th<\
resignation of Rev. A. Grant Evans
from the presidency or the state uni-
versity have been rife for the past
few days. The reports have been
given considerable credence here,
and from an unofficial source it is
asserted that a change is certain to
take place.
Concerning the reports of his with-
drawal from the presidency. Mr. Ev-
ans has nothing to say. However It
has been generally conceded that a
change was to be expected this year.
The state board, which has been
prominently connected in the matter
is non-committal over the prospective
change.
A number of prominent educators
have been mentioned as possible suc-
cessors to Mr. Evans. Dr. Kincan-
non, of Mississippi, has received
favorable attention, but it is known
that there are a number of other can-
didates in the field.
President. Evans was appointed
head of the school in the spring of
1908. Prior to that time he had
been president of Henry KendajM col-
lege. a denominational institution
located at Tulsa. President Evans
succeeded Dr. Boyd, whose resigna-
t!on was forced by the new board of
regents. Dr. Boyd had been at the
head of the state school sTnce 1 892.
Changes are said to have been ar-
ranged for at Edmond, and Weath-
erford as well as the state school
for the blind at Ft. Gibson. The an-
nouncement seems to be meeting
with general favor from many parts
of the state and the authorities in
charge will undoubtedly he encour-
nged in their proposed action.
Many school men as well as others
Interested in educational affairs have
not been satisfied with the present
management of the university, in
particular, Evans not being a univer-
sity man and having administered
tho affairs of the university more to
the ends of his profession, the min-
istry, than the legitimate ends of
eilnrntinn in flu- now stfilo
Columbus, Ohio, May G.—Stat"
Senators George K. Cetone, L. E.
Huffman and L. R. Andrews, and
Representatives O. C. Lowry and |
'Geo. B. Nye, and Senate Sergeant-
at-Arms Rodney J. Diegel were in-
dicted for soliciting bribes and ar-
raigned today before Judge E. 11
Kitkead in the criminal court. They
pleaded "not guilty."
The (prosecutor said that unsign-
ed communications have been re-
ceived which have strengthened the
evidence relating to alleged corrup-
tion in the legislature. All except
Nye and Lowry were arraigned be-
side other criminals, including a
murderer and burglar.
The indictment grows out ofl se-
ciet investigations that have been
going on in the Buckeye state for
many months. It is expected that
many other legislators will be in-
volved and that the Illinois case,
principally concerning and involv-
ing Lormier, will be equalled If no*
surpassed by the probe that is now
in full swing.
COUNTY COURT IH SY.
Alleged Joinist.s and Bootleggers
On Trial.
Juries in the cases of Anthony
Yarbrough and Beverly Crump in
the county court found the defend-
ants guilty of Illegally selling liquor.
A fine of $50 and HO days in jaSf
was Imposed on Yarbrough. No
punishment was fixen in the Crump
case, but the fine was left to the dis-
cretion of the court.
The county court today has been
busy in the trial of Pat Fagen and
Charlie Ross. The former was tried
this morning but the jury was still
out this afternoon. In the Ross case
the jury had not reported by 3:.'10
today. There being two juries out
further eepslons of court had to be
postponed, until one had reported.

i >venty-One Nations Participate in
the Ceremony.
Washington, May G.—Andrew-
Carnegie, whose hero commission
has handed medals to numerous
worthy persons, had a medal pin-
ned on his own breast today. Rep-
resentatives of twenty-one republics

ies. It was the first time in his-
tory, it Is alleged, that an Individ-
ual has been so honored by a group

enn Union at Its conference held in

mer. President Taft, Director Gen-
eral .i«hn Barrett of tho Bureau

ber of other notables In addition to

North, South and Central America
and the West Indie*, took part In
the ceremony.
An inscription which appears on
one side ofl the medal explains its
importance. It reads: "Benefactor

TWO COUNCILS IN HENNESSEY
OLD BOARD REFUSES TO AD-
JOURN—NEW ONE SWORN IN
Coiincilmen Divided As to Number
Necessary To Represent
Each Ward.
Hennessey, May 5.—Hennessey is
well U'essed—with councils—for this
week at least, and 110 doubt there is
not another town in the state can
boast that they have two boards of
trustees who are attending to the
administrative affairs of their town.
But, nevertheless, that is the peculiar
circumstances that exists in Hennes-
sey.
At the regular monthly meeting
of the town council composed of
Mayor Wylie and trustees Ehler, Her.
seller, Cupps and Brewer last night,
when it was supposed the old board
woufd vacate their seats and the
new council elected at the recent
town election would assume their du-
ties, the old council, with the excep-
tion of Mayor Wylie, refused to give
up their seats and at the close of
the business they had to transact au-
journed to meet again at the city
hall next Monday evening. After the
old council adjourned the members
of the new council with the exception
of ElVer, who was reelected, were
sworn in and organized again elect-
ing Wylie mayor. The newly elected
council is composed of Jones, Liddle,
Smith, Wylie and Ehler.
The grounds on which the old
council with the exception of Wylie,
refused to adjourn sine die, were
that they believed according to the
election Caws that Hennessey should
have elected two councllmen from
each ward at the recent town election
and as this had no tbeen done if two
councllmen should have been elected
it was their duty to appoint the live
trust* es which were not elected.
Mayor Wylie contended that from his
interpretation of the laws covering
the elections of town and villages,
that Hennessey should have only one
councilman from each ward, that the
old council's time had expired by lim-
itation and declared them adjourned
sine die.
The board overruled the mayor's
declaration and a motion, in sub-
stance, that the board appeal to the
proper authorities to learn what
should be done to solve the dilemma.
Motion carried. Thus Hennessey has
two boards of town councils, both
adjourning to meet next Monday at
the city ho l.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE GETTING BUSY
Takes Up Four Important Problems
in Two Meetings.
Two sessions of the board of di-
rectors of the chamber of commerce
were held today, one at TI o'clock
ar d one at 2.
Senator P. J. Goulding appeared
before the board an 1 suggested that
a resolution be passed by the board
requesting the governor to convene
an extra sjsfifan of tne state legis-
lature for the purpose of drafting a
bill for the repeal of Article Nine,
Section Nine of the Constitution. In
the resolution which was authoriz-
ed by the board it is proposed to
ask that a bill be formulated in ac-
cordance with the wishes of Attor-
i.fw General West and other oppon-
ents of the last proposed amend-
ment. It is also proposed to take
the matter with the commercial
organizations in other cities of the
state.
Tho County Fair Bill.
The matter of securing the re-
maining signers to the county fair
petition was broi «(f)-t up at tho
'morning meeting. It Is proposed to
cairy on a campaign of education
with reference to the county fair
proposition by holding meetings in
all of the towns of the county and
explain the plan in detail. A com-
mittee with poWSTr (o act was ap-
roined by P^eslrfent English.
Motor Cars Suggested.
One of the most important ques-
tions to be brought up before the
afternoon session will be the scheme
to secure the operation of motor
s on the railroads leading to
the city for the benefit of out of
town shoppers. The plan will be
discussed and the advisability of
attempting to secure such service
will be under consideration at this
meeting.
Buy It At Home.
Another matter of importance to
the merchant is the question of
home patronage and its encourage-
ment. This subject is to be brought
up for discussion today. It will be
talked over and an effort made to
lend the Influence of the chamber
of commerce to secure more gener-
al patronage of home institutions
by the people.
