Milas Lasater the newly appointed
state commissioner of INSURANCE. Is
not an un Town quantity IN Oklahoma
affairs AS member of the constitu-
tional convention he is remembered
as one of the workers who strove TO
secure for the people an organic law
worth more than a mere title. Al
home he is recognized as a leading cit.
izen of high purpose and good record.
He will be welcomed to Guthrie's Of
ficial family because of himself. per-
sonalIy. and also because he has made
good in whatsoever has been before
him for accomplishment. Oklahomans
have much TO congratulate themselves
about in regard TO the general average
of men chosen as state servants, and
Lasater is not one who will lower the
average by III per cent.

Just now all residents of the capital
city are enthused about the way we
grow and prosper There is general
sense OF good cheer and an unanimity

us and success There ale not SO
many things left undone as to be
strikingly prominent and 1t is pret-
ty safe TO assert few cities have had
greater support from local capitalists
than has been true of Guthrie for
months past. There are. however,
some few topics Of some interest In
the way of showing how we may get
along faster and one among them. II
not the most important of all, is how
we invest our surplus. If every cit
izen of the capital city would join
in with aoquaintances and those In
whom he has full confidence and in.
vest his surplus, the results would be
extraordinary. Il Is not eA,ggera-
tion to affirm there Ia az he mini
mum a real1mi;lion dollars of Guthrie
capital invested outside the city.
Much OF That pays fair returns; not a
little of Il can only be designated by
the vulgar term of wildcat. Thirty per
cent Of that amount invested In GuthI
RE factories would bring 20 our city
$500 skilled workmen. with an aver
age wage Of S. per day each, $30,00v
per week That would mean not less
8lhan 4 ,000 people and require at least

would be asdemand for more carpent

out would commence with the lumber

erty how much 1t would add to tue

in topic article No doubt there are
hundreds OF good outside investments
presented to our people and Il Is no
wrong they should accept those ap
pelling good. but, wherever there is ;
chance TO aid the home city, It means
not only proper returns on the invest

Helena Modjeska, Most
Noted Tragedienne in
World, Is Dead.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 8.
Mime. Helene Modjeska, the
most famous English-speaking
tragedienne in the world died at
10 o'clock this morning at her
beautiful home at Bay Island,
near Balboa Beach, Orange
county, Cal. She had been i'll
with Bright's disease for about
seven months but the serious ma
ture of her illness was not appar-
ent until a few weeks ago.
At the time of her death her
husband Count Charles Bozenta
Chiapowski, and her son Ralph,
Modjeska, Chicago civil en-
gineer were at her bedside. She
had been unconscious for six days.
Countess Helena Bozenta CHA

tober "a, 1874. She made her
debut on the stage at Bochnia,
Poland, in 1851. She was edu-
Gated in a Catholic convent in
Cracow and married Count Chas.
Bozenta Chiapowski in 1868.
Modjeska's first appearance in
an English-speaking part was in
San Francisco In 1871 in "Ardi-
enne Leouvreur." This was fol-
lowed by starring engagements in
England, Austria, Poland and
Russia. Later she was forbidden
to appear in the latter, country by
imperial decree. In 1S89-90 she

Slayers of Michigan
Boy Threaten His
Parents

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
FLINT, Mich, April Sit is
stated today that after the funeral
of Harold Moon, the boy who was
kidnapped from this city last week
and whose body was found in the
lake at DeIavan Wis, the parents
received letter purporting to
come from the kidnapers stating
that the boy was drowned because
a ransom Of $500 was not placed
in the hiding place at Delavan,
according to Instructions.
The writer said that the father
was responsible for the death of
his son and threatened the family
unless $3,0Uv was not paid.
When Harold Moon was kid
naped from this city and held for
a ransom of $500 a letter to his
father said that unless the money
was placed In the mouth of a can
non In park at Delavan the boy
would be killed.
Instead of placing the money
in the designated place Moon left
there a letter asking for more in
formation and demanding proof
that his son was being held. Near
midnight the police concealed
near the cannon saw a large man
take the letter. The following
day the dead body of the boy
was found floating in the lake
near the outskirts of the city.

Witnesses With
held

Utmost secrecy was maintained
concerning the identity of wit
nesses examined by the grand
jury during its morning session
today. Several persons were
ushered into the room on the
fourth floor of the court house
during the morning, but those
interested and even the witnesses
themselves were bound to secrecy.
1t is understood that evidence
was introduced today that will
lead indirectly to the arrest and
prosecution of certain citizens,
and that the matter is being sup
pressed until full data has been
secured.
Miss Bonny Gray, a former In
mate Of Tacoma's restricted dis
trict, was the first witness called.
She was closeted with the seven
teen probers for nearly an hour
and when she finally emerged
from the room she was pale and
apparently greatly excited. s
The jurymen have entered in
10 the investigation with a zeSt
and seem determined to dig into
everything that might even hint
at unlawfulness. Each witness is
first questioned by Prosecutor
McMurray, who leads the person
On to tell his story. AS socn as
the witness has finished the jur-
ors are given an opportunity to
question and cross-examine, and
they manage to get all the inform
alton there is to be had.
At yesterday afternoons ses-
sion the first witness was Edward
Miller, deputy county assessor.
John T. Bibb was next called and
finally George Lawrence, who was
a police captain under the Wright
administration. Greatest secrecy
was maintained during the after
noon. @
