Detective Fedderson Finds Journey to Missouri Fruitless When Bank Holds Levy's Check Was Good.

Detective Frank Fedderson, -who went to Jefferson City, Mo., last week to secure the extradition of a man named J. B. Levy for uttering a worthless check on J. M. Murphy, an eastern oil man, who visited in the city recently, returned without his man Saturday afternoon. Levy had been ar,re8ted in St. Louis and released on a requisition bond, and when Fedderson reached the Missouri capital he found Governor Major out of the city. Fedderson insisted on his private secretary, who attends to such business in the governor's absence, hearing the application for a requisition, and when LenVy's attorney from St Lcftiis reached the capital he telegraphed to Broken Arrow, Okla., where the bank is located on which the check for $175 was drawn, and the answer came back that the check in dispute should have been paid when originally presented instead of being refused because of "insufficient funds," as was done, the telegram from the bank adding that it would be paid whenever presented. Under these circumstances there was nothing for the local official to do but to abandon the requisition proceedings. Murphy, on whom the check was passed, Is said to be interested with a number of local people in surrounding oil fields, and Visits the city quite frequently.

Before the proceedings began Detective Fedderson was surprised at the appearance at Jefferson City of Deputy Prosecuting Attorney A. R. Owens, with John Mclntire, an oil lease man employed by Murphy, who wanted to identify Levy.

As near as could be learned brothers-in-law took issue with each other and selected the saloon as the place to settle th® argument.

session tout when he did talk his remarks counted for something as he was a close student of legislative matters. The other candidates are good men but Bedwell seems to have made a running start that has given him a-lead. Mason Niblack seems to be the chief contender.

Democratic leaders are coming to the belief that the report of the grand Jury here which indicted thirteen men on the charge of presenting false claims to the state will result in much good. They believe that it will call attention to a system followed here by both parties for many years in making appointments. The system undoubtedly was wrong. The great trouble with it two years ago was that there was too many democratic members of the legislature who tried to satisfy thefe-^onstituents who demanded jobs, 'i'tis same situation existed under republican rule but fortunately .for the republicans 'they nevar had such a top heavy majority as the democrats did in 1913.

Cut Down the Pay Roll. If the coming legislature abolishes ihis system the report of th© grand jury will be of great benefit to the entire state.' The democratic members of the house have appointed a committee to determine the exact number of employes the house will require. No more will be appointed The senate will take the same position, so it appears that there will be a saving to the state and a change that Is much needed.

The democratic leaders are saying that the report of the grand jury has not injured the party and that good will come if the experience of two years ago is heeded. As far as the men under indictment are concerned, it is pointed out that it has not been shown thai any of them profited by presenting false warrants. In fact, it was not charged that any one profited by these warrants Or that the men indicted received anything to which they were not entitled.

The charge was that they violated the law of 1895 as to the number of employes in the house and senate. The democratic leaders say the situation is clearing up and that when the legislature meets the democratic legislators will take a square-toed stand in favor of economy that will give the people confidence in their position
