FAILS TO
DISCLOSE BODY
Tulsa Farmers Wife Will Sue For
Amount Of Big Insur-
ance Policies

Tulsa. Okla, Aug 21--All efforts Of the
employees of the insurances companies to
find the body Of William McCracken, the
farmer, who it is claimed was drowned in
the Arkansas river August 10, have prov
ed unsuccessful. The Mutual Benefit and
the Travellers companies, who carried pol
icies amounting to $4,000 refused to
pay the beneficiaries until more tangible
proof Of McCrackens death is produced.
Mrs. McCracken, who with her children.
is made beneficiary of her policy. has em-
ployed counsel and suits will be filed inn
mediately for the recovery Of the money.
The Insurance companies will resist the
collection on the grounds that McCracken
has not been positively proven dead and
that conspirancy exists between the
supposedly dead man and the alleged
widow to secure the insurance. McCrack-
en- is small farmer residing near Nelog-
any, 80 miles north Of Tulsa, and he
recently secured policies Of such large
sums causes a general suspicion that he
has merely disappeared until the collec-
tion may be had through the court.

'FORAKER'S VIEW
! CAUSES COMMENT
Taft and Vorys Refuse to Discuss
Ohio Senator's Interview
of Wednesday
lot SPRINGS. Va. August 21.-

Hot Springs Va, August 21.-
Senator Forakers remarkable interview
sent out from New York Wednesday
night, in which he calls attention to the
fact that he was not invited to speak at
the opening Of the Ohio campaign. was
the subject Of much talk among the poll
ticians here. Senator Foraker's attitude
presents the came puzzling features
which made his Senate course so mex
cusable. Whether he is looking for con-
cession from the MANAGERS of the nation
al campaign that could be interpreted as
a recognition of his party regularity or
whether he is seeking pretext for injur-
ing the national campaign is not made
clear even to his former supporters.
Neither Mr.. Taft nor Mr. Vorys would
discuss the Foraker interview But
while the republican candidate and his
campaign manager would not talk about
Senator Foraker's attitude. other Ohioans
here did not hesitate to do So Among
this number was D. R. Woodmansee of
Cincinnati, president of the league of re-
publican clubs in McKinley's 1896 cam
paien and a Judge of the court of common
pleas.

MISS DAVIS WAS
TWO SUNDAYS SHY.
Garrick Star Mislaid for Several
Days Among the Catskill
Mountains

For day or two last week the business
staff of the Garrick Management in New
York City were in hot water, fgurativeIy
speaking because Florence Davis did not
arrive on schedule time to begin reherseals
in her new play Under the Greenwood
Tree" The rest Of the company were
assembled and ready to begin rehearsals,
but the star was CONSPICUOUS by her
absence, and what made it more embar-
assing, her MANAGERS did not know where
TO locate her.
Several weeks ago Miss Davis ex-
periencing 1.-The call Of the wild" through
reading the manuscript of the sylvan
comedy most of the scenes of which are
laid in the wilderness, packed up camp
ing outfit and went away to the Catskills
with no companion but her maid, to live
in reality the life depicted of the heroine
in Under the Greenwood Tree"
To make her outing more completely
romantic, Miss Davis refused to let any
one know where to reach her, but COM
promised by giving the name Of an
obscure rural post-offlce where she said
she would call for her mail when she
felt like it" Rehearsals were called to
begin a week ago Monday, and her
managers wrote Miss Davis advising her
of the time set. But lOl She did not
appear on Monday, nor on Tuesday and
the Garrick firm realized they had star
rnislaid somewhere in the Catskills. After
futile writing. they sent man up on the
West Shore railroad to the little post-office
in the mountains to try and find out some
trace of her. When he arrived, he found
that Miss Davis and her maid had just
left for New York on the last train in the
other direction.
At the little general store and post
Office. he learned that"Two wimmin come
in yer this mornin' dressed in some kind
o huntin clothes and asst what day is it2
as the old bewhiskered postmaster express
it. Learning that it was Tuesday, Miss
Davis said Are you not quite sure this is
not Saturday. We've been out in the
woods for four weeks without a calendar,
but we've kept track Of the days. wall
ye didn't keep very good count" retorted
the postmaster, its Tuesday mornin,
sure's yer borned. "
Turning to her maid, Miss Davis said
Betsy. we've lost a couple Of Sundays
somewhere.
