FISH TRUST
 IN NEW YORK

New York, Nov. As a result, it is alleged. of the malicious activity of a fresh fish trust which controls the New York markets, the price of nearly all varieties of fish has dou- bled within the last year, despite the fact that this has been an exception ally good season for fishermen. Mill lions of pounds of fish are being kept in cold storage ill order to keep the price to it's present high standard, which is prohibitive to many poor families. Cod, which last November sold at from to s cents, now costs from 10 to IA cents, and a similar advance has been made on nearly ev cry sort of staple food fish.

He Is Implicated in the Hanson Case.
Sheriff Flournoy Photographed to
Many Points, and Success Has at
Last Crowned His Efforts.

With the indictments against Henry
High, Ella Montgomery and Leila Twill
ley was an indictment against Will
Askew, which was purposely eliminated
from publicity.
From the moment of the indictment,
Sheriff Flournoy was active in secur-
ing his arrest. He was located at Pitts
burg, Texas, but he was gone when the
wire to hold him reached that place.
He was spotted at other points and
finally he was located at Muskogee,
which is his home. and there he was
arrested today before noon.
Will Askew is a young man of good
address, and printer. He is one of the
best of the craft He was close friend
of George Hanson. He was associated
with Leila Twilley He has professed
little knowledge Of the murder. On the
morning of the finding of Hanson's body
he intin1ated that High was the muir
derer. At first this statement was given
no Importance. but subsequent develop
ments would indicate that he is pos
sessed of information in connection with
the crime of such character as to have
entangled him with Henry High and the
women already in Jail.
The arrest of Will Askew is all inn
portant. and will have a tendency in
strengthening the case of the State
against High.
It is expected that Will Askew will
consent to return without requisition.
Should he refuse to come willingly, his

MORALS AND MAMMON.

Candidate Pharr-running for Gov
ernor on the Republican ticket-believes
that prohibition is impossible and inn
practicable. Therefore he favors a
$1,000 State license, to begin with. And
then he adds that saloons and race track
gambling are "gross evils and courses
of the corruption and physical damna-
ton of Our youth.
The logic of Candidate Pharr IS that
the corruption and physical damnatlon
of our youth is all right provided the
saloons pay the State $1,000 per annun
as a license to corrupt and damn!

matter of patrolling the vicinity Of the

The statement of General Funston
settles effectually the question of the

called upon the railroad officials to
