SCHOOL LAND
FROBEBEGUN
New Oklahoma House
Body Inquiring
Into Acts
OKLAHOMA CITY. Feb. 21.—t/P)
—A new nouse sub-committee. In
tent on peering into activities of
the state school land commission,
which heretofore has attracted only
passing attention from investiga
tors. will add its quota to the fund
of testimony being divulged in the
sweeping inquiry into state affairs,
by the house of representatives.
The commission has a large loan
fund at its disposal, derived from
revenues from school lands, and
preliminary testimony introduced
so far has been confined to details
of certain of these loans, made by
the commission.
Tales of an alleged “profit shar
ing plan," purportedly aimed at
"profits of the administration"
were related to the senate court of
impeachment, which is trying Hen
ry S. Johnston, suspended governor,
on impeachment articles.
R. L. Seaman, former secretary of
the state highway commission, tes
tified that “Mrs. Hammonds told
me Uncle Jim (J. R. Armstrong,
advisor to Johnston and uncle of
Mrs. Hammonds, former confiden
tial secretary to ths governor), had
worked out a plar to divide the
profits of the administration among
its supporters.”
