The testimony of Robb in his own defense occupied the morning session and consisted of declarations of denial that any crime had been committed, to his knowledge ; that there were no false entries made under his direction rr supervision; and that nil loans made to himself were properly secured. George E. Cooke of the State Na tional bank of Oklahoma City, whs examined as to usual banking methods the application und entries of record bills of lading and other procedure in an institution of that sort. lie also stated that it was customary, at least n frequent occurrence, for a bank ex aminer to inquire of a bunk us to the standing of another. lo rebut the statements or Koub us to the application of certain wheal deals, to finance which Robb had bor- roweu money irom tne uuiik in wnicn ho was a director.

The senato yesterday recommendet for llnal passage the Stewart bill pro viding for un insane asylum on tin east side. Tne bill provides that a separate building shall be had for tho negro race. The control and munagemen. of the asylum will be vested in u boaru of threo trustees to be appointed by tho governor and subject to removui by him. Tho governor shall be ex olllcio president of tho board. Tin direct management of the asylum shall bo a superintendent to be uppointeu bj the governor und suuject to his re moval. Tho location of the asylum, i this bill passes tho legislature, which it will do, In all probability, will be determined ort in tho public institu tion's bill. Thoro wus noine objection to a sepnrato board, as several of the senato-s thought that tho same board could supervise tho Fort Supply and East side asylums. - Bank Officials Alny Borrow Money from Their Banks. County Judges Paid in Fees. That all but active managing ofllcials" of a bank could borrow money of the bank under tin banking law is the opinion of Attorney General West's ollleein a letter to T. H. Slover of Davis, okla. The opinion goes into detail and state that by "active iniui'iging ulllcer" is meant a man who is always on duty like the ci-hior. A president, vice president, or directors are not necessarily "active managing ollicors" did therofoic lnie a nirht under the attorney general's inter relation of he law to. borrow money from t" eir own banks. In a letter to T. J Humes of Liabell, Oklahoma, the opinion is expressed that counties are in no way responsible for the salaries of county judges but that tho same comes out uf the fees collected by him. 1 FREIGHT KATES REDUCED Railroads gain omc Under the Knife of Corporation Commis sioners and Rates re Uadly Slashed.

REPORT ARMY'BILL A10NDAY. Increases Pay of Officers And Enlisted Men in Service . Washington, April, 4 The Army ap propriation bill was comple ed by the senate committee on military affairs today, and will be reported to the sen- ate on Monday. It will carry about 15,000,000 moru than was provided in the bill us it passed the house, making i total of approximately 1JO,000,000. Vn item uf about $7,000 000 was inolud d, to increase the pay of the army revenue cutter service and marine corps, but including enlisted men of the navy, in accordance with the pro visions of the bill which was passed by to senate. For joint maneuvers of tho regular army and the o-gnnlzed uilitia $1,1)00,000 is provided. An in crease of about $5,000,000 has been nude in the appropriation for trans location of troops and purchase and repair of ships to bo used us army trans- xirts. The item for enlargement of army hospitals, amounting iu all to about 1205,000, which wns struck out of tho bill in the house, was restored. L'he house adapted an amendment which would bar ollleer of tho regular army from taking part in tho annual rifle contests and the senate committee struck this out. Tho increased appropriation for the increased pay of tho army is necessary by reason that- the committee adopted an amendment for the general eularg -ment )' tho pay of otiicers und enlisted men in all branches of the navy, in cluding the revenue cutter service and tho murine corps. This change necess itatid an addition of money suillcieut to pay not only the army but the other branches of tho service. It is under stood that tho enlisted monof tho navy will bo tokon care of in it n amendment to bo offered by Senator Halo. Daily Oklahoman.
