TAFT HAVING
HIGH OLD
Time

Gregory, Texas, Oct 20-President
Taft began bis three days of doing as
he pleased on his brothers ranch by
playing eighteen holes of golf yester-
day morning over muddy course and
~ "just loafing" through the long aft
ernoon and evening. Mr.. Taft was as
happy as a boy out OF school. The idea
OF eating a dinner without having to
speak for 1t and of going the live-long
day without having to make a speech
appealed to him strongly and he de-
clared he wished his far southern yaca-
tion could last a week and three days,
instead of just the latter period.
While the President was golfing and
resting the members of his party en-
ioyed themselves in various ways.
Beginning today the President will
probably go in bathing in the bay each
remaining morning of his stay, as both
weather and water are warm.
Ranch hands out hunting yesterday,
killed two wild boars and a raccoon.
All were presented to the President
last night
The President banished his assistant
secretaries from LaQuinto today and
gave no thought to public business in
any way He roamed about the grounds
adjoining the house, walked out on the
long pier leading into the bay to watch
those who were in swimming and de-
clared he was having the time Of his
life.

CAPT. CASTS
VOTE FOR
COOK

Copenhagen, Oct. 20,-The Green
land steamer Godthaab, in command of
Captain Schoubye, has arrived here.
Captain Schoubye reports that Knud
Rasmussen, the explorer( who is now
in Greenland, after examining thirty
five Cape York Eszimos who had seen
DR. Cooks Eskimo companions, is quite
convinced that DR.. Cook reached the
pole.
He says that Rasmussen is willing
to go to the United States with the
two Eskimos, Etukishook and Ahwe-
lah, who were DR.. Cooks sole compan-
ions in the latter part of his expedi-
ticn Rasmussen, however, the captain
states, has not himself seen the two
Eskimos who are now hunting.
Rasmussen's wife and father have
both received letters from him giving
details obtained from the Eskimos.
These are practically the same as DR..
Cooks story.

The M. B. A.
WINS SUIT

Attorney Stacey today received no
tice from the clerk Of the district court
at Guthrie to the effect that Judge
Huston had granted a writ of manda-
mus requiring the state insurance com
missioner o license the Modern Broth
erhood of America to do business in
Oklahoma M
Mr.. Stacey was one of the attorneys
for the order. Commissioner McComh
refused to license the order because he
claimed that it had not complied with
the insurance laws Of the state. Attor-
neys for the NJ. B. A. showed that il
was properly organized and doing bus
mess in Indian Territory before state
hood and was therefore entitled to a
license. The order has a large mem
bership in the state.

At the city jail today there were
three boys not over IA years Of age
behind the bars. They were Allen and
Charley Wilson and Paul Poland each
of whom was fined $11 for petit lar

their fines.
Mayor Edwards, Judge Grigsby and
the police were puzzled about what to
do with the youthful culprits. Two of
them were known to have been i'm
plicated in similar trouble before.
"The situation would not be so per
picking if these were the only boys
with whom we have to DEAL" said
Mayor Edwards. every day and night
there are boys on the streets, when
they should be in school. They are
being trained in the school of idle

WOLF
TONIGHT

Eugene Walters great play, ''The
Wolf,r which followed closely in its
original production in New York, up
on the heels of his first success, Paid
in Full and which has proven as sen
sational and remarkable a play, will
be the attraction at the Folly tonight.
It tells tale of love and fierce hatred
in the Canadian woods, and in the tens
ity of its action and its gripping power,
it is said to be even more powerful
than Paid in Full
The spirit of "The Wolf is that OF
romance, and its atmosphere is that
of the great spaces of the North. The
story is delightfully."- told and there are
passages in it that have the 'lift
OF powerful imaginative work.
This will probably be the best play
that ChiclSasha people will have the
opportunity of seeing this season. The
company played to large houses at the
Overholzer in Oklahoma City last
week.
For the benefit of the clerks and
merchants who work late, the curtain
will be held till S.45. Q
