The old boys OF the C0nfederacy who
attended the state reunion feel crate.
full for the treatment they received at
the hands OF citizens of Chickasha
They left us for their respective
homes profuse in praise Of our citizen
ship and our very interesting city.
They are writing back letters in
which they say that they were never
treated 80 well as they we're when at
tending the Chickasha meet.
This news should prompt a double
thought of qualification:
That of having filled to the full cup
Of pleasure OF men who are passing
down the slope Of life--
And
That OF having gratified the old boys
who fought and lost with the proof
that even in defeat they are In the
midst Of victory.
II should be the desire OF every true
citizen to place as many enjoyable
things and remove as many stumbling
blocks in lifes pathway as possible for
the old vets.
The Blue and the Gray are united
today Ia much firmer bondG than were
they before the boom Of the cannon
was heard at Fort 5umpter.
This is true Americanism

McCOMB ON

Guthrie, Sept. State Insurance
Commissioner T. J.McComb. who has
placed endurance in Oklahoma upon
such sound basis as to challenge the
admiration Of the insurance world is
also firm believer In Jefferson's
maxim, Equal rights to all and special
privileges to none"
In a letter to the Weekly Under
writer. popular insurance journal,
Mr.. McComb said in part:
Il an in receipt oI number Of in
quiries in regard to fire insurance

ion. etc, on the subject. This CUES
/ tion of fire Insurance rates is, as you
know, troublesome one, not only for
the public but for the companies as
we'll. Much has been said on the sub
ject and no doubt much more viii yet
be said. In considering this question
F. there are some plain. simple facts that
must be kept in mind. viz.

woman and child almost is interested

they will do so IN an equitable and
fair manner; il in this. they fail they

Since insurance Is but the distribu-
ton OF loss over the heads of many

possible on the individual this distri-
button must be equitable. for no man
should pay too little, any more than
pay too much. If he pays too little he
gets more than he should and some
one for the excess benefit he receives
Now, all property is not subject to the

from this principle, it seems to me

ACCUSFDOF MURDER
PRINCE ABDICAT[S
Heir to Servian Throne Re-
nounces Right of Succession
When Charges Are Made
Many Reports OF His Insane
Cruelties Reach Climax in
Death of Servant

BELGRADE. March 25. = Crown
Prince George of Servia has renounced
his right to succession to the servian
throne. This action is the result of
a bitter press campaign. in which the
crown prince was accused OF being the
cause OF the recent death Of one of his
servants a man named Kolakovitz,
In a letter to Premier Novakovitch
this morning the crown prince an
nounces that he has taken this step
rather than rest under the suspicion of
having murdered his servant. and that
by the remuneration he foregoes all spe-
cial privileges and immunities that at
tach to the person of the heir to the
throne. Continuing, he expresses his
Willingness to move abroad for
lengthy sojourn.
LETTER OF REMUNERATION
A cabinet council tonight decided that
the premier Is incompetent to receive
a direct communication from Crown
Prince George. who is subject only to
his fathers authority. The premier
will, therefore, return the letter which
the crown prince sent to him renounc-
ing his right of succession to the Ser
Wan throne and will advise the prince
TO address himself to the king.
The letter of the prince is as fol-
lows:
Driven by unjustifed insinuations
based on an unfortunate occurrence, l
beg, in defense of my honor as we'll as
my conscience, to declare that | re-
tnounce all claims to the throne as well
| as any other privileges to which j am
entitled. ! beg you to take the neces-
sary steps that this action may receive
sanction. l place my services as SOL
dier and citizen at the disposal of the
/ king and the fatherland. L am ready
TO give my life for them
ACCUSED OF MURDER
Recently q bitter press campaign has
/ been waged against the crown prince.
He has been accused of being imph-
Gated in the death of his servant, man
named Kolakovitz, and it is now learned
that the prince took this action because
! Of threatened Interpolation in the
national assembly on this subject
The servant Kolakovitz, was removed
to a hospital last week suffering from
serious internal injuries. and he died
after an operation. According to the
report of the doctors who performed
an autopsy the mans death was due
a
falling down stairs. The press and
public. however, refused to accept this
explanation.
PREVIOUS BRUTALIrIEs RUMORED
There have been many previous re-
ports of the brutalities OF the crown
! prince.
Statesmen of high and low grade are
said TO have been beaten and fred on
bv the prince during fits of crazy an
ger Another story credits him with
/ the murder of a game keeper, and
still another with attempt to Kill
two footmen who opposed his efforts
to force his way into a Belgrade nun
merry.
According to the terms of the Ser
vian constitution the renunciation of
the crown prince can be accepted only
by the grand assembly. before which
the matter will be laid tomorrow.

gift that an ingenious woman who is
clever with carpenters tools can make.
This present is q novel pipe rack. To
make the rack procure four boards
from carpenter-two eighteen inches
long by six inches wide and two eight
cen inches long by five inches wide.
In one of the latter pieces get CAR
penter to bore four holes three-eighths
Of an inch in diameter and running
Iengthwise In the board. The two end
holes are four inches from the ends of
the board, and all of the holes are two
and half inches apart. The two
larger boards are Joined together by
means of braces, which screw on the
backs with very small screws. Five
inches from the top Of the longer side
Is fastened the board with the holes in
1t, so that it makes shelf on the first
piece. Then. five inches below this, is
fastened the other board In the same
manner as the frst-by means Of
screws from the back. The rack is fin
ished as far as the carpentering goes.
The upper shelf is for the pipes, the
holes being made for them to rest in.
while the lower shelf is for tobacco
boxes, matches. etc.
The next thing is to stain 1t the pop
uIar mission color. Then get screw
eyes and put them on the back, and
through these put picture wire to hang
It by. The hardest thing is to print
above the FIRST shelf, "a Mans Best
Friend" Paint the letters with gold
paint. which sets off the dark color of
the wood and gives the rack finished.
