Expect to Hear
About Hitchcock:
His Death Feared

NEW YORK, Nov. Police Commits
sioner Bingham expects to receive a reply
today by wireless from the captain OF the
steamship Majestic saying # Raymond
Hitchcock, the missing indicted come
dian, is on board, and the con- missioner
expressed great doubt that he could be
extrsdited If he is on the ship.
The charge Of criminal assault. the
chief charge against Hitchcock, is not
extraditable from England
Workings Of Extradition Treaty.
II he should be extradited on any
other charge. he could be tried only on
the charge for which he is extradited.
In such event, should he be cleared OF
the charge on which extradition was
made. no other charge could be prose-
cutod against him until ample oppor-
tunity had been given for him TO return
to England.
In view of these facts the wireless
message from the captain of the Ma
jestic is awaited with much eagerness.
Mrs. Hitchcock and even the police
are coming 10 tie belief that the actor
either has been the victim of violence
oI has killed himself. This belief Is
strengthened IN view Of the thorough
manner IN which the police dragnet has
been spread about the city without de-
veIopinE a trace OF the missing man.
Steamers, ferries. and outgoing trains
have been watched in vain. That man
whose face is as well known as Hitch
cocks could have got away with the
watch maintained is regarded by the
police as improbable.
SusDects RlackmaiIers-
Herman Fromme. Hitchcock's attor-
ney, believes his client has been the vic
tim of violence. Had the blackmailing
charge against Hugo Voecks corle to a
hearing yesterday, Fromme insists.
startling disclosures would have been
made For a year Hitchcock. according
to TIE lawyer. has been followed BY
.'bIackmaiIers." He is confident Hitch
cock has been made away with to emo
an investigation which would have in
volved others.
other theories are being advanced all
the time however, to account for
Hitchcock's disappearance.
Girl May Be With Him.
That Hitchcock took with him in his
flight Bella Mckenzie, one OF the little
girls. whose accusations caused the grand
jury to tndict the actor on six counts,
was the startling rumor that reached
the police today The girl disappeared
from the home of her parents. I61 East
Thirty-fourth street on October /. and
according to the Children's Society. she
has met Hitchcock several times since
then.

Prejudice Dying.

These men are convinced that the
prejudice against such a bank Is fast
dying out, as people learn more OF what
Il is really intended TO be.
Secretary Cortelyou has declined 10
indicate to inJervieWers, his attitude
toward the proposal Of a Bank Of the
United States The Secretary feels that
the present Is no time for the inaugura-
tion OF such a discussion, 50 Ear as he
is concerned. The impression is strong
that he Is going to recommend import
ant measures OF currency reform. and
il is further known that some OF his
most trusted advisers strongly favor
the plan OF a central bank of issue.
1t is strongly urged that such an in
stitutiGn is necessary in order 10 enable
the American financial system TO cope
with the banking powers Of Europe
The great government banks elsewhere
use their powers 10 the utmost when
necessary TO protect their national
stocks Of gold.

Expected Kicks Came.

THE dealers have already received a
number Of kicks from customers who
object to the increase. which was to be
expected, Notwithstanding the fact that
they have been duly advised and must
know that increase in all food and other
dairy accessories made the increase
necessary. We figure. however. that in
a short time many Of these customers
will begin to consume as much milk as
at the old scale. although there are some
who will materially reduce their supply.
The advanced prices will be generally
enforced by all the dealers, with the
possible exception of a few dairymen-
dealers, who supply a small trade from
one wagon and who live close enough
to the city to drive in each morning
Some of these men may continue the
old Scent rate, which they can afford
to do. perhaps, as they do their own
work and have no establishment to
maintain with its relay Of bottles and
cans. If more stringent regulations are
passed. however, providing for steriliza-
ton. pasteurization. or other improve
ments, these men are not equipped for
such and would have to go out OF busi-
ness

MILK UP TODAY,
EXPECTED KICKS
NOT LONG COMING

For the FIRST time in many years milk
is selling at cents per pint, or cents
per quart, in Washington, the advance
in price becoming effective today, in
accordance with the recent agreement
between the members OF the Retail
Milk Dealers Association.
According TO Secretary George B. Far
uuhar. OF the association, the price
might consistently have been 10 cents per
quart. and 1t Is the opinion of many
OF the large dealers that the compromise
price Of cents viii in reality bring no
increase in profit
There viii necessarily be a curtail-
.ment OF the demand for milk" said Mr..
Farauhar, "and. inasmuch as the dealers
must contract for the entire output OF
dairymen as heretofore. at a price ad-
vanced to cents per gallon whole
sale, it means that the retailers will
handle more money, but that the net
profits viii be about the same at the
close of the year.

COrteIyou WiIlDemand
Some Changes, 1t
Is Said.
Central Point of Issue
Urged as Best So
luton.

The Bank of the United States
may be restored 10 life and useful
ness as one Of the results Of the
present financial furry.
Leaders in national nance are
determined that when Congress at
last gets around TO doing some
thing for the currency" it shall, il
possible, be induced to establish
great central bank Of issue.
1t is realized that 10 achieve this
means a long and hard fight against
the prejudices Of Congress, many OF
whose leaders are determinedly OPP
posed not only 10 Government bank
ing in general, but even TO making
any concession to the demand for a
more elastic currency.
Nevertheless, men who have most
closely studied financial conditions,
and who are powerful in the highest
banking circles, are fast becoming
convinced that the central bank Of
issue. which has demonstrated its
sa II and usefulness IN England
FF. .,ce,. and Germany. IS the one
thing short of which any currency
reform will be weak and Ineffective.

says Lippincott's Magazine. His
head was cooked on one side, and
with evident relish he was putting
huge cigar which his employer
lad neglected TO finish
Suddenly the door opened, and
Mr. Whinn, client of the firm,
rushed in
Where's Mr. Janworth?' he de-
manded excitedly.
What's that?' said Plugsy. slow

corner of his mouth.

Whit.
Just then the bell of fire engine

1t has been given out sub rosa that
Governor Frank Frantz will be a

have already laid their plans for
the nomination of Edmund Frantz,
an older brother of Governor Frantz,

Edmund Frantz could have had
the nomination last fall from his
party, but he refused to allow his

W. l.. Eagleton, of Pawnee. who
was defeated by Mcclure. In a close

Edmund Frantz's home Is in Enid,
and he is at the head of the pressed
brick industry of this city. He is an
able public speaker and all who
know him have the utmost conf
