gagged in winding up the affairs Of the
Columbia Bank e. Trust company and
incidentally handing over checks to
such OF the depositors Of the old bank
az were in need Of money.
In accordance with his agreement
with Governor Haskell, Mr.. Norton

solvency of the Columbia Bank &
Trust company, and with the banking
board is realizing on the assets of the
late institution for the purpose Of

imbursing the guaranty fund the
amount paid out in satisfying deposit

ton opened in Oklahoma City under

Land Of Nod which viii be presented

liant spectacle was seen here about a
year ago and those in the immense
audiance who Witnessed il nave never
ceased to extol its numerous distinct

most beautiful. complete and altogeth-
er satisfying that has been presented
in fais country in the line of musical
extravaganza The comedy is delight
fully original and there is plenty Of
it, and the music, of which there is
an abundance, is of kind which lin
gers long in the memory by reason of
its sweet melody and of its jingling,
catchy nature. Its character crea-.
tions are so altogether original that
they cause something akin to astonish-
ment The Man in the Moon" THE

The King and Queen of Hearts. The
Jack of Hearts" The Weather Man,

not hitherfore been introduced into the

them material to do which is at once

and beautiful OF modern stage con-

had reason to suspect was in the care

CHICAGO TO Be HOTBED
OF BASEBALL WAR

Chicago oct. l2-Are we 70 have
three major leagues next season.
or. If not next year then Ia 1912
Baseball men are asking these ques-
tions. And the major leagues are pre-
pairing for war
Another big league means another
baseball war. It means invasion. This
spells ehght" until the invaders are
put out Of business or taken into or
eanized baseball.
Chicago will be the hotbed. With
National and American league teams
now dividing the city's business, or
ganlzed baseball win wage desperate
war against an organization which
tried to get portion Of the kale.
There has been third big league"
talk for two or three years. No one
has paid much attention 10 il. but de-
yeiopments indicate that the idea is
srystallizng. At the bottom is dis
covered Jimmy Callahan and Johnny
Kling.
Baseball is the finest little trust in
the world said Callahan. Its play
ers are slaves just as were the redemp-
TONERS who mortgaged their lies to
escape British rule
1T is this knowledge which caused
King and to organize teams which
may be the nucleus OF third major
league. Baseball is a commercial mon
opoly. and King has been blackIisted,
contrary to the common and statutory
law.
IF you think baseball as now con-
Quoted isn't trust, glance over these
arbitrary laws:
The game shall be owned and con
trolled by the trust for profit.
Players must enter voluntary ser
yitude for the term Of their baseball
lives
No rival organizations or private
capitalists. clubs owned by cities or
cooperative teams shall exist in com |
petition with the trust clubs.
.All risver s-hh-s.l be bought and
sold IN the baseball market as trust
chattels.
Defiance OF this rule by anyone
shall rally members Of the trust TO
war against the rebellious.
isn't that lovely? Players may be
bought and sold like horses. OF course
the domination OF the owners is linn
tied to the ball field. but as that is
where the players assest is saleable,
this means unlimited power.
The National league did not be-
come a trust assest until the American
league became powerful enough to
force an alliance. And as is the case
when monopoly is smashed the big
fellows got together and formed the
trust
The rules adopted provide for the ,
sale Of the national sport without re- /
spect TO the liberty OF the players. the
right Of fans. the constitution Of the
United States. Of common law or OF
the statutes.
An unknown player takes the sal
AIRY offered him Once signed TO con-
tract. he is subject TO ownership by
the magnates as the price OF his priv
ilege TO earn living. He belongs TO
his club as a horse to his owner.

FATHER GONE:
FAMILY NEEDS
SAD CASE ON WEST SlDt
Salvation Army Finds Mrs. j. j. Mer-
Ger and Three Children In Des-
titute Condition.

Deserted by husband and father and
without fuel or food in their house,
Mrs. J. J. Mercer and three children
were found in destitute circumstances
Tuesday by Captain Jenkins, of the
Salvation Army. Captain jenkins pro-
vided temporary relief in the shape
of groceries and half cord of wood.
and in the meantime will take the
matter up with the authorities in an
effort to have something done for the
family.
Husband Leaves Family.
According to Mrs. Mercer, her hus-
band left ner several days ago and
she does not expect him to return. 1t
is the statement of neighbors that
Mercer is a worthless chap who has
failed to support his family and his
abandonment of them only served to
bring aid to the family. Mrs. Mercer
has three children, the oldest a boy of
six years, and is in a delicate condition
so that she is unable to work. She
also is troubled by a disease which re-
quires medical attention.
The family was living in three
rooms in Modern addition, their house
barren of furniture and their beds
made on the floor. They were COM
pletely out of fuel when Captain Jen-
kins called at the home. He says that
it is case deserving attention. He
will take it up with the county COM
missioners in an effort to have some
provision made for the family during
the winter. Mrs. Mercer believes she
will be able to care for herself after
the cold weather.

Great Japanese Commoncr Beloved by
Masses and Whole Country
MOuPns.

TOXIC, Oct. 26.--Hrobumi Ito, a
prince of Japan, but greatest COM
m oner of the empire who was assas-
sinated by a Korean today, had stood
for two years between Korea and the
degradation of immediate annexation,
hoping to build up that country anew.
He was shot down as he alighted
from a special train at Hardin, Man
churia, to which he went from Toxic
in his capacity as president of the
privy council on a mission of peace.
On Peace Errand.
Prior to his departure, the prince
said to the associated perss: Il am
going on my own initiative, with the
approval of my emperor, with the
hope of securing better understand
ing with China and assuring the world
that Japan's intentions in Manchuria
are amicable to China and friendly to
the commerce of all nations. When l
return l hope to give positive evidence
of this" Undoubtedly Ito intended
to inaugurate and enforce a district
policy in Manchuria, but the exact
nature Of this was not disclosed.
Will Not Change Policies.
Marquis Katsure, premier and min
lister of finance, said concerning the
assassination. THE death of Prince
Ito will not change the policies of
Japan. The pacific motives of Prince
Ito ever will be maintained and ira
ditions left by him always will be fol-
lowed" The entire nation is in mourn
ing and flags of foreign embassies are
at half mast. Public and many pr-
vate functions are abandoned. He
was idolized by the masses.
