Semate 10 Aot o8 Juige i Okiahoma Impoachment Oklahoma City, Okia., Jan. 22 (P —With Henry 8. Johnston suspend- ed as governor of Oklahoma pend- ing the outcome of impeachment ings now before the state semate, sitting as a court of im- peachment, the 12th legislature to- day preferred to resume its program of inquiry—this time on & double track scheduls, Members of the house of repre- sentatives' investigating committee, whe resumed their inquiry into state departments following the es- tablishment of W. J. Holloway, licu- tenant governor, as the acting gov- ernor late yesterday, had outlined a sweeping plan of inquiry, which eventually is expected to lead to practically every state department. Senators, on the other hand, aroused by rumofs and newspaper reports of corruption in connection with the vote of some members for adjournment of an attempted im- peachment session of the legislature last winter, were determined, through special committee, to seek the foundation for these rumors in an open inquiry to start today in the senate chamber. Opposition Whipped Trampling underfoot what little opposition arose, the senate, in less than half an hour after it received the five articles of impeachment which were voted in a hectic night session of the house last week, de- posed Governor Johnston yesterday. elevated Lieut. Governor Holloway to power, set the date for the gov- ernor's appearance for the flling of a plea for January 25, and ad- Jjourned as an impeachment court. The governor's suspension be- came acceptance of the charges, and Hol« loway notified him immediately that he was assuming the duties of the gubernatorial office. The suspended chiet executive, who has been the target of bitter criticism almost since he took of- fice two years ago, and who is the third executive of the state in the last eight years to face impeach- ment proceedings, declared he did sion. Magee Witness The senate in its Inquiry today was expected to call as its first wit- ness Carl Magee, Oklahoma City editer who published some of the rumors in connection with the sen-| ate's dispersal. No further coursc of action had been planned by the committee, until the editor testifies, senators said they understood. The house investigating committee just before adjournment yesterday | took up briefly matters involving the | state supreme court, and committee members indicated this branch of government probably would occupy thelr attention for some time. Mrs, Jessie Moore, clerk of the court, pro- duced records of the court, when called to the stand shortly before adjournment. H. E. Sullivan, the governor's executive secretary, said last night that at least 25 prominent Oklahol attorneys have volunteered to defend | the governor before the scnate court | of impeachment without compensa- | tion. He said considerable sums of | money were being donated for the| | defense, The state legislature convened two wecks ago but most of its time thus far has been occupied with the | fight on Johnston. | NOTE FRON DEAD " FOUND AFTER YEAR Mesige Rectived in Bottle From §.

Henry A. Bilkert. The planes will make a recon- noitering tour of the desert,in the territory about Zubair where tribes- men, believed to number 100, at- tacked the party. Other tribesmen were believed in the same vicinity. Tt was considered remarkable here that the raiders should have at- tacked a group of Americans especs jally when Charles R. Crane was among them. Crane is known here as “friend of the Arabs.” Crane's Story TLondon, Jan. 22 (UP)—A patrol detachment of the Royal Air Force failed to come to the aid of Charles R. Crane, former ited States minister to China, when his party was attacked by Wahabi tribesmen near Zubair, Trao, the Basrah cor- respondent of the Daily Mail quot- ed Crane as saying. Crane said, according to the Daily Mail's correspondent, that the de- tachment was seen in the distance, but made no effort to approach when the Rev. Henry Bilkert, missionary of the Dutch Reformed church, was mortally wounded. The escape of Crane and his sen, John, was credited today chiefly to the skill of their Arab chauffeurs who turned the two automobiles in which the party was riding and sped toward Zubair. Bilkert was accompanying the Crane party to Koweit, 85 miles from Basrah. Crane had asked him to join the party in its travels through Turkey and Russia because of the missionary's extensive knowledge of ti vi th ate’ 8 f e automatic with the senate’s cver was found as to the fate of her | no) gt “Soon after leaving Zubair, near Basrah, we came upon the desert and met agitated Iraq tribesmen driving their flocks toward us" Crane told the Daily Mail's corres- pondent. “The shepherds’ shouted warnings at us that raiders were approaching, and we stopped to survey the desert.
