LIQUOR Commission
HAS ITS TROUBLES
CHAIRMAN BELIEVES IT NECES-
sARY TO HAVE POLICE TO MAIN
TAIN ORDER AT MEETINGS.

There was big row at the session
of the Liquor License Commission last
night, ending in Chairman Ballentyne
adjourned the meeting until tonight at
8 o'clock. He adjourned the meeting
because, he said, that the spectators
present would not maintain order, dis
turbing the session by applauding. But
prior to this somewhat sensational ter
mination of the meeting, Commission
ers Lucas and Long withdrew from the
meeting, declaring that they considered
certain line of policy that the com
mission proposed to adopt, to be unfair
and outrageous.
There were some protests against the
issuance of licenses to certain saloons
to be considered so a good sized crowd
of people was present. After the meet
ing had been called to order Chairman
Ballentyne opening the proceedings by
reading a resolution that had been
adopted at the executive session of the
commission establishing rule of pro
cedure for the hearing of applications
for licenses against which protests had
been lodged.
The rule provided that the applicant
and his witnesses should first be heard,
then the protestants and their witness
es, the applicant closing his case. In
no case were the parties on either side
nor their witnesses to be subjected to
any cross-eXamination other than that
put by the members of the board.
Commissioner Lucas then arose and
sought to present protest against any
such rule. He started to read the
protest, signed by himself and Commits
sioner Long, but Commissioner Camp.
bell Immediately called for order.
Chairman Ballentyne ruled that the
protest" was out of order and it would
not be received.
Lucas and Long then arose and left
the meeting, declaring that they con
sidered the action of the commission
absolutely wrong. The report that wal

STRUCK BIG GUSHER
Big Well Brought in al Muskoges
Canadian Valley Trust Com
pany Interested.

Muskogee, Sept. 25. A gusher was
struck this morning IN the Creek oil
field south Of town when Creek well
No. was brought in. The drill had
gone only three feet in the sand when
the oil spouted ont Of the well over
the top Of the derrick. This is the
fifth well dug and is the third we'll IN
which oil was struck. Well No. and
we'll No. are each producing about
200 to 25O barrels Of oil daily, but the
new well will flow double these
amounts If present indications mater
ialize. This will give the field daily
yield Of about 1000 barrels, worth
1920 bringing to the company the
large sum of over $4,000 per month.
The Canadian Valley Trust Com
pany is heavily interested in this field
and is likely TO realize an enormous
per cent on the original capital in
vested.
1t viii be Disappointing to know
that the day before this big gusher
was brought in the Canadian Valley
Trust Company went into the hands
of receiver, the cause of which was
largely due to speculation in oil and
gas lands.

this city spent the greater part Of
Tuesday night 10 session to deter
mine what should be their action re-
garding the defunct Canadian Valley
Trust company, which closed its doors
here on that day.
1t was given out unoflcially late
the same night that the other banks
OF the city would take over the Cam
adian, and that all checks on the de-
funct institution would be paid In full
by these banks when presented.
The Canadian Valley Trust Com
panY was organized withsa capital of
100000 and has deposits to the ex-
tent of 5000, 900. The company has a.
five story building among
its assets. II was regarded as one Of
the soundest financial institutions OF
this city. Wild cat investments in
oil lands and real estate is said to be
the cause OF the failure.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 25. Less than
month ago Mrs. Agnes True Nc
Combs Covington, whose body was
found in trunk on the beach at Alki
point Sunday morning, told Miss Ada
Kolkins, her friend, that she loved
Charles Burilson better than she did
her husband, Frank Covington.
Burilson and Covington were warm
friends. Both are missing and the
police are seeking for them in the
hope Of finding clue to the murder.
P. M. McDough, an expressman, in
formed the police today that about
two weeks ago he was summoned to
the Krewick hotel, Ninth avenue and
Stewart street, where the murder is
thought to have been committed, and
removed a trunk to the Galbreath
dock. Two men accompanied him and
he assisted them in placing the trunk
aboard vessel, which he thinks was
the Florence, which runs to Eagle
Harpor, small town across the bay.
The trunk referred to answered the
description of the one in which the

OF NITRO
CAUSED BY GAS

Childers, /. T., Sept. 25.-In an at
tempt to shoot an oil well near this
place with nitro glycerine, a heavy
pressure of gas forced the charge from
the we'll. Just as the charged reached
the surface it exploded and set off
sixty gallons of nitro glycerine on a
wagon near the we'll. A hole four feet
deep was torn in the earth. No traces
Of the wagon could be found. A warn
ing by the man who was shooting the
we'll enabled bystanders to find places
OF safety before the explosion.

 Sir Walter Scott's most spirited Scot
 tish novel, Rob Roy" It was King
 Charles I who first bestowed a barA
 onetcy on the laird of Luss, in 1925, as
 stated above. Sir Humphrey, the fifth i baronet of that creation and the laird 4 of Luss, who figures in Rob Roy"
 had no male issue of his marriage. So
 he secured from the crown a new grant
 of the baronetcy in favor of James
 Grant, of Pluscardine, married to his
 only daughter and heiress. Owing, however, to provision in his will, &C., cording to which the estates of the
 Grants, and the Colquhouns were new

 fusion and litigation ensued, which was finally settled by James Grants fourth son and namesake succeeding to the

 granted by King George III In his fa-
 vor. The Grant estates passed to the ears of Seafields, who are the head of the clan of Grant, and they are now in the possession of the dowager counties
 of Seafeld. It may be just as well to add that, owing to the various deeds of settlement, none of the Swedish or An- erican descendants of the house of Col quhoun has any rights capable of be- ing enforced either to the Colquhoun or to the Grant estates in Scotland, both of which are very large.

Ardenca- pie castle is now rented on a long lease to the great ironmaster, Sir James Gra- ham of Glasgow. It has no ancestral associations for the Colquhouns, ana was merely bought by the father of the late Sir James for tho purpose of completing the ring" of his wide es- tates. He bought it from the third wife and widow of the seventh duke of Ar gyll, without the knowledge of her stepson, the late duke of Argyll, or of her step-grandson, Lord Archibald Campbell (now heir to the dukedom of ArgylD, to whom she promised to be- queath it.

 branch of these Swedish Colquhouns. or
 Claims, directly descended from Peter
 Colquhoun, is now settled in America,

 government at Washington.
 Sir John Colquhoun, the elder of the two brothers who had established
 themselves in Sweden, was created
 baronet in 1925, with remainder to his male descendants. His younger broth- CTS were therefore excluded from the
 inheritance. The title Is now extinct.
 The Gahns of Sweden have for the last 2VO years always made use of the ar morial bearings of the Scotch house of Colquhoun, with the sanction of the swedish crown and the court of herald ", which, as in other monarchial coun- trles of the continent of Europe, is quite strict about such matters,
 The Colquhoun family was founded. according to one tradition, by the Cal edonian chieftain Galgaeus, who com the Scottish forces against the Romans under Agricola in the battle of the Grampian mountains in the year so A. D., the name Galgacus being con Verted into Galgahoun, Calhoun and Colquhoun.

The Colquhouns of today have still charters containing the grant of the land of Colquhoun bearing the signature of King Robert Bruce. Luss, in the country of Dum- 1 barton, which is yet in the possession )f the family, came to it through mar 'iage in the reign of King David II, md from that time forth the chief of he Colquohouns has always been 1nown as the laird of Luss.
 The annals of the Coluquhoun fam ly may be said to constitute the his ory of Scotland, and are one long sue 'ession of sanguinary struggles, raids, vars, deaths on the field of battle and 'n the seaffold, trials for sorcery and or high treason, deeds of daring, both n Scotland and in foreign lands, and sst, but not least, of the extraor- irary feud with the McGregors, phas-

ORIGIN OF THE { CLAN OF COLQUHOUN From Which Derive the Cal- nouns and the Gahns of
 the United States. SCOTSMAN AND SWEDE Ancient Scot Settled in Swe- den and Posterity Hold
 Armorial Bearings.

Every reader of the novels of Sir
 Walter Scott, will recall that Sir Hum
 phrey Colquhoun, 18th laird of Luss. and chief of the historic and powerful
 clan Of Colquhoun, who figures so ex-
 tenslvely as the principal foe of Rob Roy in the Waverly novel of that name
 In fact, Scott's novel, Rob Roy" is al- most entirely devoted to the fueds and wars waged between Rob Roy. the
 chief of the McGregors, and the clan of Colquhoun. The death, therefore, of Sir James Colquhoun, 18th laird of Luss and chieftatn of the great clan of Cola houn, cannot fail to excite a certain amount of attention in this country. where, by the bye, the clan has num- ber of representatives. Some of them. however, no longer bear the name of Colquhoun, but that of Calm. In fact, the Gahns in America and in Sweden claim to be the principal representa- ttves of the house of Colquhoun, from which the late chieftain and his sue cessor and his cousin, Col Sir Alan John Colquhoun, are only descended through the distaff side.
 It seems that DIT alexander Cola uhoun had three sons, John, who was created a baronet; William and George. William and George are vaguely de- seribed in the various British peer ages" as having ''died abroad without posterity. But this is untrustworthy, For in the 18th and 17th centuries, when means of communication between the various countries were difficult at the best, it was found impossible at home to keep track of younger sons of pa- trician families who had left for for eign lands in search of adventure and of fortune. Consequently, when lost l sight of, they were usually set down as having "died abroad without posterity." | Swedish records, however, go to show i that both William and George entered | the service of King Augustus Adolphus,
