JUDGE WILL KEEP ORDER
IN COURT WITH A GUN
III Feeling Existing Between Parties
to Suit Necesstates Use
of Firearms

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 4.-When
the case of C. A. Rodensey vs. Frank
Muskowski again comes up for
hearing in the court of Justice j.
j. Beall a loaded pistol will lie
on the desk and within easy reach of
Justice Beall 1t is safe to conclude
that there will be no tossing of ink
stands, flashing of knives and other
dangerous weapons such as added to
the excitement of the general mob
fight when that suit came up last
Tuesday.
1t will be remembered that during
the trial Tuesday when Rodensey
screamed you're a liar!" at Judge
John II. Beatty, the judge hurled a
two-pound inkstand at him, and but
for the timely lodging he would have
been unable to appear in the case
again for some time.
An ill feeling has existed for some
time between the plaintiff, Rodensey,
and the defendant, Muskowski, who
came to Oklahoma City direct from
Russia several years ago. Judge
Beatty was acting as attorney for the
defendant when the affair took place.
At the crucial point in the fight Jim
Beatty, the son of Judge Beatty,
rushed in and landed with full force
on the plaintiff, Rodensey.
When all had somewhat cooled off
at the earnest exhortation of Justice
Beall, Jimmy jerked out an ugly
knife and was about to turn upon the
amiable justice when he prevailed
that Jimmy put away the knife.
The whole affair SO unnerved Justice
Beall, who is an aged man, that he
has been unwell since the occurrence.
Although he knew that there was
"bad blood" between the parties of
the suit, he said that he did not
think it would lead to such an ex-
treme.
The civil suit which has necessi-
tated Justice Beall having a loaded
pistol in the court to preserve order
is the result of a demand of $50 made
by Rodensey for services rendered the
defendant during the year 1906, when
Muskowski first came to the city and
established a retail butcher shop on
South Robinson. Both are fairly we'll
to-do.

JOE FOLK OFFERED
$4,000 FOR LECTURES
Former Governor of Missouri May Get
Large Sum for Making
Tour

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 4.-Former Governor
Joseph w. Folk has just received an
offer Of $4G GGG TO sc on g, lecture tour
during the remainder of this year, ac-
cording to the statement of X. w.
Napier, former secretary of the Demo-
cratic state committee.
Napier, who is one of the important
leaders of the Folk organization, de-
clared that a contract for this sum is
now awaiting the governors signature.
"The offer has been made by an east
ern lecture bureau" he said, but Folk
has deferred its acceptance as he mas
not yet decided whether he will enter
the race for the Democratic nomina-
ton for United States senator.
IF he signs the contract he will be
REQUIRED to give his undivided services
to the lecture field, thus precluding MN
from making the senatorial fight
1t is generally believed by his frlends
that as a lecturer he has made a total
of $4,000 since he left the governor S
office.
Heretofore, however, he has acted as
his own press agent and manager,
charging at the rate of $3.50 a lecture
and clearing between $500 and $500 d
week.
Joseph w shannon, Kansas City
Democratic leader and a close friend
of Folk, told Napier he thought the
former governor ought to take the $4O,-
900 and not trust to the uncertain re-
suits of a senatorial campaign.
"If the race for senator is three-cor-
nered one,' said shannon, Folk prob
ably would have the best chance OF
success. In that case he would have
the office and no money. and as he is a
poor man he might not be able to afford
the honor.
''If he lost the senatorship his stock
as lecturer might ebb to a low figure.
Just now he is in the public eye as
a presidential possibility, and there is
no doubt that the mention of his name
in this connection is adding wonder
fully to his prestige on the lecture
platform"
While he would be glad to see Folk
run for senator, Napier says that
viewel from a personal standpoint the
$40, 900 lecture offer is the more tempt
ing.
Il happen to know" he added, that
Folk had nothing when he retired from
the governors office. In the past thir-
teen months, however he has amassed
a snug fortune. The senatorial cam
paign would cost him probably $4,000,
and then there is the chance that he
might lose"

he never refers to dear old Lunnon."
Also he has no patience with Anglo
maniacs, as he calls them-those who
ape Britishers in voice or dress. Hence
the story.
Not long ago he was in London
producing one of his plays. He had
engaged one of London's favorite
actresses who happened to have been
born in Manistee, Mich, but was not
proud of it and never mentioned the
fact Said actress spoke with the most

Two days later the actress husband

about it. My wife has not closed her
eyes for two nights. She thinks you
have some sort of voodoo powers and
she is nearly crazy. She is afraid you

BIG AUDIENCE HEARS
FREDERICK WARDE
"Wit and Wisdom of Shakespeare" Is
Subject of Lecture Delivered
at Simpson Audi
torum

ITO know Shakespeare is to know
your God" said Frederick Warde, the
well known Shakespearean actor last
night in his lecture on 1.-THE Wit and
Wisdom of Shakespeare" before a
large audience at Simpson auditorium.
Mr.. Wardes tour of the country with
Louis James and high class company
in Shakespearean repertoire will not
soon be forgotten here and, because of
his long association with the work of
the great playwright is considered an
authority The lecture was given I'M
der the auspices of the Galpin Shake
speare club.
In his lecture Mr.. Warde warned the
school teachers and students of Shake
speare to be careful and not lay too
much emphasis on mere paraphrasings
of his works, but to look at them as a
whole if they would fully absorb their
beauties.
''The commentaries and the critics
have greatly confused the reading pub
lie by their silly arguments on the
meaning of this word and that SEN
tence," said the actor-lecturer, land
have given general impression that
to understand the plays Of Shakespeare
the student must have a mind capable
of grasping things out of the ordinary.
This is not true. On the contrary, the
plays of Shakespeare are simple and
were written for the ordinary mind.
Shakespeare wrote these plays to be
produced before the general public and
not before d few of the social elect with
specially trained minds for intellectual
It'd bits"
scenes from Hamlet" king Lear"
Twelfth Night" Midsummer Nights
Dream and Comedy of Errors"
bringing out the characters of the

wisdom of what he termed "the great

poet of the centuries"
