OKLAHOMA BANKS

Individual Deposits Amount to S24,

Four Million Dollars

Guthrie Ok, Oct l5.-A consolidated

crease of S3.547620.50 in little more

Al the same time the average reserve
is kept at practically the same level
showing that no reckless banking has
been indulged in. The average reserve
held on July l8 was ais per cent, and on
September 23, Aid per cent.
The increase in loans and discounts
practically kept pace with the increase in
deposits, rising from $i8,039,09095 "a
$2i, ,209,85897 This is brought about
by the fact that the wheat growers of the
northern part Of the state have during
this period been depositing the proceeds
from their crops, while the cotton raiserl
of the southern part have had to borrow
more money TO finish up their crop,
overdrafts also sweled from S439.

Interest in Worlds Championship
Baseball Games Not so Great
as Ls- Year

Detroit, Oct. l5.--"l want TO say for the
Detroit club that they played clean base
ball; that they played fast base ball, and
that they played II like gentlemen and
sportsmen. Through out the entire series
there was not even a small dispute be.
tween the two teams: the friendliesI
feelings existed during these FIVE days OF
intense rivalry. Jennings has great
team, but ! think Chicago is greater. |
firmly believe that no team in the world
could have beaten US with the kind of
ball we played during the worlds cham
pionship series.-Frank Chance Manager
Of the Chicago Worlds Champions
we were beaten because Chicago
played better ball But viii not admit
that they are the better team Detroit
did not play the game they are capable
of There was not the old time dash and
ginger TO their work, and they did not
measure to their full ability, either at the
plate or in the field.-Hueh Jennings
Manager Of Detroit"
BY defeating Detroit yesterday after
noon to 0, the Chicago team Of the
National League retained its title as the
champion base ball team Of the world
The Chicago team, according 10 the
critics, showed superiority In every
department Of the game In the series as a
whole, although this superiority was not
so apparent on the day that Detroit batted
victory off Pfeisters curves.
Detroit was handicapped by the in
ability Of Schmidt TO down runners and
by the failure Of her heavy hitting out
field 70 bat at critical moments. None Of
the Detroit pitchers seemed able to con-
sistently puzzle the Chicago batsman, for
even Mullin, who pitched Detroit's victory
was found for seven hits.
Throughout the series, Chicaeo's hitting
was opportune. The series however,
] created less interest in the two cities,
most affected than that Of last year The
paid admissions were only 90. 232 for
the five games, and the receipts totalled
S94,975, as compared with Si0i100
last year The attendance at the final
game yesterday afternoon was but 6,2i0.
with gross receipts Of S9.57750.
OF the money taken In, the players Iof
Chicago, the winning team, get S276
/ and the Detroit players S1S,446 The
club owners get Sl9.6si a piece and the
national commission S9.497.

No PRODUCTION
EQUALED ITS RUN
The Land of Nod" Coming Mon
day Night-Sale Of Seats Now
on at Hartman's

An amusement event which must be
regarded as one of the most important
that has occurred here in a long time. is
announced for next Monday Oct 10 when
the big musical comedy production. "The
Land OF Noe" will be seen. Il is doubtful
If any stage production has ever achieved
so great a success as has been enjoyed by
this popular work Il is under the same
management as the recent success Com
ine Thro The Rye. which is a decided
endorsement Of its splendid character
For three years il has toured the princi-
pal cities Of the west and south, and it
has drawn audiences which have been
limited in size only by the capacity Of the
theatres IN which 1t has been presented.
THE Land of Nod" is brilliantly witty as
TO dialogue It's music is that of the iingl.
inc, catchy sort, its situations are
original and extremely laughable and It's
character creations are all decidedly novel
The principal is The Man in the Moon
who comes to earth and mineles with all
sorts of characters until he Is attracted.
with others, to The Land of Nod" where
people who are only knownin tales which
are told Of fairyland and in Arabian
Nights conceptions are encountered.
Among these are "The Sandman. "The
King and Queen Of hearts, The Weather
man" Welsh Rarebit. April Fool,
The Telephone Man. and others so un-
usual and withal so interesting that the
audience is taken from emotions Of
amazement to varying degrees Of pleasure
and iollity, now screaming with laughter
and again applauding vigorously at some
delightful musical number charmngly
rendered. The company which is pre-
senting the Land Of Nod numbers rs
people made up of comedians vocalists
and dancers, and includes a chorus Of go
Of whom SO are young women who sing
and dance well and do frequent changes
Of costume after Ethe approved fashion
Indeed, il is generally conceded that this
is the most perfect organization of It's
kind that has ever been brought together
in this country for the presentation Of
musical comedy The scenery, costumes
and other effects are said TO be upon a
scale Of rare splendor. The sale Of seats
begins today al Hanmans Jewelry Store

JUDGE CULIISON
RENDERS DECISION
Says Under Billups Bill State Must
Prove Intended Violation
of Law

Oklahoma City, Oct. 14-Among the
numerous decisions and opinions relative
to the transporting Of Intoxicating liquors
between points within the state, that OF
Judge j. b Cullison of the county court
at Enid is the latest and of no little inn
portance. because il is extremely adyesre
to the general application given the Bill
lups prohibition law.
Judge Cullison gave the decision in a
case where two men had been arrested
on charge of bootlegging and transport
ing liquor from one place 10 another. The
burden Of the decision of the judge is that
the purchase of liquor outside Of the state
by any person in it is not Illegal, and that
the delivery Of the same is not illegal
that the person so receiving a consign-
ment Of liquor may transport it from one
place to another 50 long as he keeps il in
his possession and without evident in
tent of violating any of the provisions Of
the prohibition laws.l
The strong point that has been made
by those prosecuting alleged violations Of
the liquor law, was that as soon as con.
signment of liquor was delivered TO an
individual il could be seized because the
person was transporting it from one place
to another within the state. The Law
declares the state is required 70 not only
declare but prove that the liquor is beinl
so transported for the purpose of violat.
ing provisions of the law
The defendants against whom the
charges were preferred were discharged
by order of the court

WEST FILES SUIT
AGAINST AGENCIES
Trouble Arose over Refusal Of CHM
g. Company to Comply With
States Contract

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 13-Claimine that
the law is being openly and plainly vio-
lated by the refusal to exchange school
books, Attorney General West has filed
suit in the district court Of Logan county
for receivership of AGENCIES in Oklahoma
that are handling books furnished by
Ginn & Co.
The suit was brought at the direction
of Governor Haskell who, IN letters to At
torney General West says that no change
in text books can be made this year even
though the publisher violates the contract
and this is the only course to pursue
other than the cancellation of the con-
tract and suit of bondsmen on the
grounds of failure to comply with the
law.
The trouble arose over the refusal OF
CHM & Co, 10 comply with the terms OF
their contract with the state in several
Instances. Various dealers in school
books have refused to exchange late text
books for formerly used text books on the
Ground that books offered were not of the
same Grade as those demanded in ex-
change. Under the terms of the state
contract with the publisher, books shall be
exchanged regardless of the grades,
