WOMAN STORM CENTER OF QUIZ IN OKLAHOMA ‘Mutineers’ Face State Skipper and Lady ‘Mate’ on Probe Plank. BY DON A. HIGGINS, United Preu Staff Correspondent OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 16.—A mile of testimony and a barricade of spunk stood between an embattled woman of politics, her Governor and a force of prosecutors in Oklahoma’s governmental inquiry today. The state has entered the siege stage of political rebellion with Governor Henry S. Johnston and Mrs. Mamie Hammonds, his pretty confidential secretary, entrenched in the executive office while an insurgent house rustles the firs of inquisition. Although the controversy has settled down to a probe by house investigators of pardons, paroles and patronage, the main song and dance remains a joust between “Mamie and her mutineers.” Described as “Ewe Lamb 1 * It is the concluding sequel of Oklahoma's last political chapter when four leaders of the house, in mutiny against Mrs. Mamie’s management of the Governor’s office, rebelled a year ago. Governor Johnston then unwittingly described Mrs. Hammonds as a “Ewe lamb about to be delivered into th> gaping mouths of political wolves,” and his enemies built up impeachment moves on a slogan—- “ The ewe iamb rebellion.” Today insurgent investigators conclude the major portion of an inquiry into what Johnston has called “The greatest mistake of my life”— the pardoning of R. Dewey Crosthwaite, an escaped Oklahoma murderer, on the eve of the present session. Attack Pardon After questioning pardon and parole officers, clerks and secretaries, who revealed the Governor signed the pardon without referring to records, the investigators learned that the father of the murderer had offered money to a legislator to obtain the pardon. Uncle Dave Faulk, farmer-law-maker, charged T. N. Crosthwaite, father of the fugitive, had offered him $1,200 to $1,500 if he would obtain the clemency. He said the offer was made before the Governor granted the pardon. REFUSE TO 0. K. PAY RAISE FOR EMPLOYES Members of Lower House Deny Approval to Bill. Hoosier members of the lower house didn't think so much of the amendment tacked on the $500,000 emergency appropriation bill raising the pay of the senate secretary, chief house clerk and chief doorkeepers in both houses from $6 to $lO a day. When the bill came back to the house today the members refused to ratify it and Representative Sam J. Farrell, Hartford City, moved that it be referred to a joint conference committee. Farrell was made a member of the committee with Representative Forrest Knepper, Etna Green. The senate committee members were Denver C. Harlan, Richmond, and Alonzo H. Lindley, Kingman. Harlan reported back to the senate that while they were conferring the house had adjourned until 10 a. m. Thursday. Later he stated that house members had refused to compromise.

FLORIST SALES HIT RECORD IN ILLNESS WAVE Druggists Also Report Big Business Increase in December. Florists, physicians, retail and wholesale druggists of Indianapolis had a greater volume of business in December than in any like month since the World war and immediately after, when the last wave of true influenza swept the country, a Times survey showed today. Friends bought more flowers for the sick and dead, some physicians were rushed almost to the point of exhaustion by the wave of respiratory infection, and the drug houses reaped a harvest in the filling of prescriptions and sale of patent cold and influenza cures. “During November, December, and early this month the floral business was greater than since 1918,” reported Clarence Greene, florist, 5 East Ohio street. “Flowers were scarce and high,”

said Charles Pahud, 3404 Boulevard place. “Despite our 60,000 square feet of production space, we had to buy flowers to meet the demand. “The cold wave shut off the demand, almost automatically, since it cut down the wave of illness.” “December was the greatest month in the history of Indianapolis for the sale of drugs and cold remedies,” said Kenneth T. Brock, druggist, 3802 North Illinois street. “Sales this year have been about 75 per cent greater than they were last year. “During December there was more business in the drug department than there was in the soda and candy department, despite the Christmas demand.
