Guthrie, Ok., March 14.—State Legis-
tors and the many lobbyists, who have
been here since the convening of the
Legislature two months ago, were
greatly surprised by an order of Chief
Justice Burford to Prosecuting Attor-
ney Frank McGuire of Guthrie, to issue
immediate subpoenas for all legisla-
tors and alleged lobbyists whose
names appeared in the evidence taken
in the hearing by the special Senate
committee appointed to investigate the
alleged boodling in that body. In lead-
ing the fight recently for the passage
of the cattle quarantine bill, Senator
John P. Hickman (Rep.) of Payne
County charged that if the Senate
would give him a committee he could
prove within forty-eight hours that
boodling had been carried on in the
Senate. The committee was appoint-
ed and testimony taken. In its report
the committee advised turning over
the evidence to the Prosecuting Attor-
ney of this county for prosecution to
the Grand Jury. This was done and
the attorney immediately laid it before
the Chief Justice presiding in court
here.
The Prosecuting Attorney has been
very busy getting out the subpoenas,
and it is understood that many have
been served. The alleged boodling in

with the passage of a stricter quaran-
tine bill and the school textbook bill,
both of which finally passed both
houses and are now before the Gover-
nor.

An Avalanche of Votes Settles ths
Panama.
Washington: No sooner had the sen-
ate met Tuesday than an executive
session was agreed upon. Immediately
after the doors were closed the Pana-
ma canal treaty was laid before the
senate. There was a good attendance
of senators. The proceedings opened
with a speech by Senator Morgan, de-
voted especially to the question of the
defense of the canal. He criticised
sharply the action of the senate in re-
fusing to so amend the treaty as to
insure American control.
Following Senator Morgan came an
array of dilatory tactics with speeches
pro and con. Finally at 5 o’clock the
vote was put resulting in 72 to 5 in
favor of the bill.

ever, it had been decided to meet again
Wednesday at 11 o’clock for the pur-
pose of taking up the Cuban treaty,

sideration, in order that the senate

delay.
Floods Still Encroaching.
Memphis, Tenn.: The flood situa-
tion in the Mississippi valley contig-
uous to Memphis is extremely critical.
The break has complicated conditions
by flooding a vast area in Arkansas. A
vertible sea exists in the St. Francis
and Mississippi river basins, extending
from the one completely to the other, a
distance of many miles. From this
territory a call for help has gone up
from persons who have been surround-
ed in their homes and on higher por-
tions of the country and thus far it has
been an impossibility to send them as-
sistance of any character.
All trains are annulled and no as-
sistance can be rendered by the rail-
road, its tracks being under water near
Marion, Ark.
At this latter point telegraphic con-
nections still exist to Memphis, and
reports are far from encouraging. The
town is almost totally flooded, and citi-
zens are using skiffs as their only
means of travel. Negroes and white
persons from the adjacent territory are
pouring into Marion each hour, and
they' ask that a boat be sent to their
rescue. There is no means of rescuing
them except by making a breach in the
levee near Memphis, and this may be
done. Sheriff Williamson of Critten-
den county, has gone to the village in
a skiff, and will report to Fresident
Killough of the St. Francis levee board
the true conditions. It is estimated
that several hundred persons are sur-
rounded by the water in the flflooded
Arkansas territory, and that the
amount of livestock lost is heavy in
the extreme.
Aged Texas Lady Dies.
McKinney: Mrs. Sarah S. Battle,
aged 79, died Saturday evening at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. A. G.
Aikin, at Madill, I. T. The deceased
was also the mother of G. S. Battle of
Fort Worth and Mrs. Dr. King of Den-
ver. She lived many years in McKin-
ney, where she will be buried today.
Frank Brown, colored, was saved
from an infurated mob near Checotah,
I. T., by deputy United States mar-
shals. Brown killed Charles Scott and

white men.

farm is three miles north of White-
wright, last week lost seven head of
stock with glanders. Two of the num-
ber lost were fine jennets. Mr. Ever-
heart thinks no more of his stock are
afflicted. Mr. Everheart is a breeder
of fine stock, therefore his loss is not
small.

ers are again growing very active in
