INPEACINENT OF GOVERNOR GOES ON Proceedings fn Oklaboma Turn to Séaate Room Oklahoma City, Jan. 24 (P—In- terest in Oklahoma's involved legis- lation. investigations, which. already have led to impeschment charges against Governor Henry 8. Johnston and his suspension, today turned to the senate investigating committee Teom where there appeared the pros- pect that a mystery witness would reveal the source ©f newspaper re- ports and rumors of corruption in connection with the sudden dispersal of an attempted impeachment ses- sion of the legislature last winter. The mame of the witpess, which has been carefully guarded, was siven the committee by H. Tom Kight, Carter county representative and a leader of the anti-administra- tive forces, He indicated the man might be able to give the committee some tangible clue upon which to base its inquiry. ‘The committee, in this investiga- tion, is inquiring into the conduct of its parent body, as it was the senate that termfhated the December, 1927 session when it held that the house had acted unlawfully in convening itself. The senate refused then to support six purported impeachment charges against the governor, the subject of bitter attacks almost since ke took office in 1927, Determination to call the mystery ‘witness to testify came at the close ©of a day which saw the house and another article of impeachment to the six already voted against Gover- nor Johnston, and promise to use :greater speed in consideration of .ghree additional charges reported ut by its investigating committee. ‘The senate has accepted five of the seven charges. Seventh Article Tk> seventh impeachment article eharges Johnston with illegal use of the national guard in suppressing the December, 1927 attempted impeach- ment session. Troops were called out to keep the legislators from meeting in the state capitol, but members of the house later succeeded in meeting in a downtown hotel room. This article passed after one of the most determined battles of the pres- ent session, Beveral members con- tended the governor had the power to call out the national guard, while others held there was no riot or disturbance, and that he exceeded his authority. The measure finally carried 69 to 38. D Because of the lengthy debate which slewed up housé busineas, it was decided to limit debate on the | articles yet to be conbidered. . Evidence purporting to show that road contractors rallied to the sup- port of Johnston when impsach- ment threatened him in 1927, was presented by E. J. Franklin, Tulsa * insurance m-n,‘n‘hc told the senate “investigators fhat he gave & check for $500 “to momebody" to go into a fund being made up by road con- tractors to help Governor Johnston in his defense in a supreme court case to test the validity of of the ses- sion. The money had been solicited, he said, by two road contractors, ‘whose names he could not recall. Franklin's company makes bonds for contractors on many highway construction projects. Slack Outstanding O. P. 8lack, vice chairman of the State Fish and Game commission, ‘was prehably the outstanding wit- ness of the day before the house in- vestigating committee, which s delving into the conduct of numer- ous state departments and officers. He brought the name of Mrs. O, O. Hammonds, confidential secretary to the governor, again, testifying she had asked him to get Tom Johnson, Pushmataha county legislator drunk and obtain from him finformation which was sought by the administration. “I told her I didn’t want to do it,” Re continued, “that I might get Will There is hardly a houschold that hasn’'t heard of Castoria!

NEWFOUNDLAND 70 BE LINKED WITH WORLD ‘WAl Have Wireleas Telephone and Cabie System In Shortly, Premier Says. Toronto, Ont., Jan. 2¢ (M — Sir Richard 8quires, premier of New- foundland, disclosed today that mne- gotiations are under way for the eventual linking of Newfoundland to the rest of the world by cable or wireless tclephone, As a first step he said he has been in consultation with electrical engineers in Montreal and New York with a view to merging the four un- connected telephone systems in New- foundland. Sir Richard said he also was en- deavoring to negotiate trade and pos- tal agreements with the Canadian government, but that his course has been made difficult by the criticisms in the Canadian press of the liberal party of Newfoundland, of which he is head, Newfoundland, he said, regards Canada *“as an entirely separate and competitive entity, politically as well as economically” and that criticism from Canada was resented as much “as the Americans or French would if a Canadian newspaper took sides politically againat the ruling power in American or French public life."

DEFICIENCY BiLL 1SN CONFERECE Refands and Prohibition Two (Chie! Items of Measare Washington, Jan. 2¢ UM—Carrying with it senate ‘approval and senate amendments, the first deficiency dill today was on its way to conference. Of the two principal amendments, one provided $24,000,000 for prohi- bitlon enforcement; the other would make public hearings by treasury department commlttees (n tax re- funds involving more than $10,000, The fund to aid liquor law en. forcement was voted Tuesday but the tax refund amendment was not approved until late yesterday, .fl"} a short time before the senate roll call on the deficiency bill. It was a compromise from an amendment offered by Benator McKellar, of Tenneasee, which would have taken |the refund cases {involving more than $10,000 from the bureau of internal revenue and would have, turned them over to the board of tax appeals, Secretary Mellon opposed the $24,- ! 000,000 addition for enforcement and he was also against McKellar's first proposed amendment. In addi-. tion & number of the Tenneaseean's colleagues disagreed with him, most of them declaring that it would Duli too much work on the board of tax appeals, McKellar then amended his proposal to maxe the tax refuni hearings public and an agreement |was quickly reached. System Scored Throughout the debate on the or- iginal McKellar proposal there was criticism of the present system of tax refunding. Couszens of Michi- gan contended that the treasury should first assert the claims, then make the testimony and documents in the case public and afterwards ask congress to appropriate the necesssry funda, Senator Norris, of Nebraska, as- salled what he termed the secret handling of tax cases, declaring it was detrimental to the public inter- est, 1 If the amendments to the defl-; clency bill are approved by the house, the measure goes to the presi. dent. He has not indicated his atti- tude teward it, but the differences of opinien in the house em the ud- dition for prohibitien enforcement have already developed. The deficiency bill as finally pass- od by the scnate carried $136,178,- 112, in comparison with $84,130,030 as approved by the hewss, Both the senate and house approved the pro- vision calling for §75.000,000 to be expended in tax refunda, .
