AT BIBLE CLASS BANQUET
Rockefeller, Jr, Refers to Hughes
Presidential Boom.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE presiden-
tial boom of Governor Charles E.
Hughes was again launched in New
York city, this time at the annual
dinner of the Bible class presided e.
by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. In his
address at the dinner Mr.. Rockefeller
called attention to the fact that Gov
ernor Hughes was once a member of
the class and referred to him as a
possible occupant of the White House.
This brought forth great applause
from the members of the class. The
principal speaker at the dinner was
Frank A. Vanderlip, vice president of
the National City bank, who spoke on
the recent financial furry. The din
ner was more elaborate than the n
held last year, each member of the
class paying $1.50 for his meal, where
as last year the price was only 81.

Seized With Painting Spell While
Maxine Address.

New York, Dec. 11.-Frank Kellogg
Of st. Paul, prosecutor in the case of
the government against the Standard
Oil company, who was taken i'll in the
course of his speech before the Min
nesota society, is much improved. Mr..
Kellogg's indisposition was not serf-
GUS, being the temporary result of an
acute attack of indigestion, aggra-
waited to some extent by the pressure
Of work which he has been under of
late. In the midst of his speech a
period of dizziness was succeeded by
faint. Mr.. Kellogg recovered very
soon and was able to return to the

GO TO FINANCE COMMITTEE
Resolutions of Inquiry Relating tc
Treasury Department,

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Gull
berson's resolution providing for an
inquiry by the senate committee on
finance into the recent issue Of bonds
by the government was considered by
the senate and was sent to the finance
committee upon a statement by Mr.
Aldrich that that committee would
meet in a few days and report a e
luton covering the entire subject.
Senator Clay's resolution calling for
information concerning the deposit of
money in national banks also was laid
before the senate. Mr.. Clay said that
up to the present time $4,000 900
had been deposited by the govern
ment in national banks and most of
it had been on deposit during the
present year..
II do not believe" he said, chat
we can Justify the placing Of such
money in banks and then calling for
more money by the issue of bonds.
That system should be investigated
and condemned"
Mr.. Clay then agreed to have his
resolution go to the committee on
finance.

AND GORE ELECTED
Formally Chosen to Represent Okla.
homa in Senate.

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. .11.-Robert
Latham Owen of Muskogee and
Thomas Prior Gore of Lawton have
been formally elected to the United
States senate by the Oklahoma legis-
lature. Both are Democrats.
Owen was born at Lynchburg, Va,
Feb. 2, 1856. He is of Scotch-Irish
ancestry, with a mixture of Cherokee
indian blood. His father, Robert Owen,
was a distinguished Confederate SOL
der and later became president of the
Virginia and Tennessee railroad. The
senator's mother was a daughter of
Chisholm, the last hereditary wal chief
of the Cherokee Nation.
Senator Gore has the double distinc-
ton Of being the first blind member
of the United States senate and of be-
ing the youngest man in that body, be-
ing only thirty-seven years old. His
sight vas destroyed in childhood when
he vas a page in the senate Of Missis-
sippi, his native state. At that time
he was boarding in the home Of Unit
ed States Senator J. q. George and it
is said those associations first inspired
him with the dream of some day be-
ing a United States senator, which has
been his life's ambition. He was edu-
Gated at Cumberland university at
Lebanon, Tenn. He has great oratorical
ability and in the last two national
campaigns his services were called
for in many Northern and Western
states. He is a lawyer of note.
