oKLAHoMA's FORCED HOLIDAY.
Banks Short Of Cash Because of Re-
fused Loans at ST. Louis.

OKLAHOMA, Oct 2S.-On demand
of the bankers of the territory, Cover
nor Frantz issued a proclamation clos
ing the banks of the territory for a
week. The action was taken because
the banks of st. Louis and Kansas City
refused to forward cash to the banks
of the Southwest. 1t is said the
bankers of Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory, Arkansas and Northern Texas
have taken similar action,
There is no uneasiness in this city.
The banks of this city are carrying
many small banks in the territory and
have arranged to issue clearing house
certificates to carry them until condi-
tions improve.
The banks are further embarrassed
because of the demands for cash to
move the cotton crop. 1t was neces'
sary to get cash from the East to
meet the demands.

The importation of gold is expected
to assume large proportions and will
aid greatly in providing funds for the

ENGLAND FACES
INDUSTRIAL WAR
PUBLIC OPINION LARGELY INFA.
VoR OF THE TRADES UNloNIsTs
AND OUTLOOK is THAT STRlk-
ERS WILL WIN FROM CORPORA
TON MANAGERS.

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-With the rail-
road workmen of the United Kingdom
threatening a general strike, and the
l1horers in other trades and industries
clamorous and dissatisfied, England is
apparently facing the most serious in
dustrial crisis in many years.
With the members of the Amalga-
mated Siciety of Railway Servants ia
voring, by a considerable majority a
general suspension of work until the
union is recognized, it only remains for
the railway companies to decide
whether or not they will comply with
the demands made. The Society of En-
gine Drivers and Firemen and other
affiliated railway organizations have
voted to back up the Amalgamated So
ciety, and sympathetic strikes would
probably be numerous should the
members of the latter organization be-
come involved in a prolonged struggle.
So far, public sympathy is largely
with the trades unfonists, and the
stiff backed" attitude of the railroad
managers in refusing to consider any
method of conciiation has turned SEN
timent against them. There is a gem
eral conviction that a prolonged and
disastrous labor war can be averted
if the railroad boards will meet the
men half way.
In Great Britain public opinion is
allpowerful, and it is hardly likely that
the railway managers will dare defy IL
/ to the extent of refusing all efforts to
arbitrate the present labor difficulties.

LOCAL OPTION ELECTION in
METROPOLIS OF ALABAMA TO.
DAY TO DECIDE QUESTION OF
LIQUOR TRAFFIC - CONTEST
VERY CLOSE.
HAS BEEN HOT CAMPAIGN
Prohibition Rallies and Mass Meetings
Have Forced the Antis Into an Open
Fight and Business Men to Show
Their CoIors.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 2S.--Un-
der the provisions of the local option
law passed by the last session of the
Alabama legislature special election
to decide the prohibition issue is being
held today in Jefferson county, in
which the city of Birmingham, the
metropolis of the state, Is located. No
city has been fought with greater in
tensity and in none has the result been
awaited with greater interest. More
than 80 counties of Alabama have al
ready adopted prohibition and 1t is
generally conceded by both sides that
if Birmingham does dry" the chances
are that the entire state will adopt pro-
hibition in a very short time.
The prohibition forces are confident
over the outlook. Since early in Au-
gust they have waged campaign that
has set the pace for the opposition.
Noted leaders Of the anti-saloon move
ment have been brought here from
other states and prohibition rallies
have been held almost nightly. Mass
meetings have been held in all the
churches and every preacher in the
district has been working for the
4 cause, The women of jefferson county
perfected an organization and even the
children have been enlisted in the
campaign.
The -prohibitionists have been
equally actiSe-In. the fight. and large
sum of money has been spent in be-
half of the liquor interests At first
/ they conducted their campaign by
means of literature, but soon they were
forced to follow the example of the
prohibitionists and resort to rallies and
speeSh making. The liquor men have
been aided considerably by certain
business men and manufacturers who
believe that prohibition would injure
the commercial interests Of Birming-
ham.
The Anti Saloon League of Alabama
is confident that today's election will
show a substantial majority in favor
OF the cause If the fight is won in
Birmingham the league will immedi-
ately arrange to take up the campaign
in Montgomery and Mobile counties,
in which two other large cities of Ala
bama are located.

CLEVELAND, Oct 2S.-With only
one week remaining for active work in
the campaign the Cleveland mayoralty
contest is overshadowing everything
else in point Of interest in connection
with the election November 5. The reg
istration has reached a total of $4,000,
which is nearly 10000 in excess If the
normal vote in city elections. Repuo-
lican politicians claim that the big
registration augurs that republicans
heretofore out of line with their party
locally who did not vote at all. are
back in line and ready to vote. They
point to the fact that the biggest In
crease in registration is in the heavy
republican wards.

FROM WAHA SPRINGS.

The Commercial club committee ap-
pointed several weeks ago to investi-
gate the merits of the proposition for
FURNISHING the city with water from
the Waha springs by the Waha-Lewis-
ton Land and Water COMPANY made it's
report to the governing board of the
club today, showing the Waha propo-
sition to be an advantageous one for
the city.
The report in detail covers about 20
typewriter pages and covers every
feature of the investigation. The re-
port shows the cost of the water at
the present time to he two and three
eighths cents per 1000 gallons, while
under the Waha-Lewiston plan the
cost would reach about three and one
eighths cents per 1000 gallons.
The report. however. shows that,
based upon the Increase of water dur
ing the past few years in the highland
district, that the cost under the pres
ent system within he mex five years
would exceed he price submitted for
the Waha springs supply.
The report also showed the chemi-
cal analysis of the water taken from
the Waha springs and from the intak,
pipe of the water system whien was
strongly in favor of the Waha water,
especially wien it is considered the
sample from the intake pipe was Sc
