skELETON OF WOMAN FOUND IN HOME OF DR. HAWlEY GRIP
 PIN, WHO DISAPPEARS.
BODY FOUND IN CELLAR
Messaues Flashed Around the World to Apprehend Dentist Called
 "Bue Beard"-Stenogra pher Missing.

London, July 15.-Scotland Yard is face to face with the most baffling international mystery of a decade an enigma deeper than the Charlton case-as the result of the discovery of human bones in the basement of the home of Dr. Hawley Crippin, American dentist, at 39 Hilldrop Cres- cent, North London, one of the pret- tiest of the city's suburbs.
 Although the first belief was that the remains were those of Belle FL more a beautiful American music hall artist. who married the dentist some time ago, fresh testimony by neighbors led to the belief that an- other woman was the victim of what is, they say. according to the police evidently a daring murder.
 The police of every important city of the world have taken up the chase for the dentist, who disappeared after the first visit of the police to his home on June 9-three months or more after the notice of his wifes 
 Stenographer in Mystery.
 The mystery has been added to by the introduction of a third figure Ethel Leney, a stenographer. She is thought to be with him.
 The belief now held is that Grip pens relations with women will re- veal a startling career as blue beard, according to the authorities.
 Bones Photographed.
 Sir Melville McNaughton. the chief (. Scotland Yards criminal investiga. tion department, who is directing the big force of detectives handling the case, made another daylight examina- ton of the premises, especially the cellar where the bones were found. which was photographed by flashlight after the mystery had been discov- cred.
 The bones are. apparently. accord ing to the police. those of a woman about 27 years old.
 Every route leading from London Is under close guard and all ships that have sailed for America in the last few days have been communi- cated with, if possible. by wireless, the police taking the same precau- uons as they did in the hunt for Por- ter Charlton, the young American now under arrest in New Jersey.
 Disappeared Suddenly.
 Belle Elmore's maiden name was hunlsunde Makomash She was born ID Brooklyn, N. T., and took the name oi Belle Elmore after going on the stage, where she gained a reputation as soprano singer.
 several years ago she married Dr. Crlppin in Philadelphia. In accord ahce with a provision of her grand ldthers will he took the title of Baron Makomaski. The couple then came to London where the woman continued ner stage career and acted as an of hcial in the Music Hall Artists guild
 They went to live at 39 Hilldrop crescent. Mrs. Crippin, or Belle FL more, as she was still known among theatrical folk here, regularly at tended to her duties with the Music hail Artists guild until last Febru- ary' when she suddenly disappeared

BISHOP HENDRIX OF KANSAS CITY LIKELY TO QUIT,
 MEMBERS SAY.
CONFERENCE IS STRAINED
Trouble Is Over Authority in Wander bilt School Trustees-Aided by Samuel Cuppes of
 St. Louis.

St Louis, July 15.-As a result of the dispute over the control of Van derbilt university at Nashville, Tenn, schism is threatened in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and, accord ing to his friends, Bishop Eugene R. Hendrix of Kansas City is considering the possibility of withdrawing from it. Bishop Hendrix withdrew from a con ference of bishops at Nashville after being accused of enmity to the in- terests of the church, according to Bishop E. E. Hoss of Nashville, in a brief interview while passing through St. Louis.
 | Bishop Hoss said that the dispute probably would result in suit to de- termne whether the present board of trustees of the university, of which 1 Bishop Hendrix is chairman, shall control it internationally or shall be subject to the authority of the general conference The direct point at issue is whether the general con- ference may elect members of the board of trustees
 Tt has been reported that w. K. Vanderbilt is in sympathy with the board of trustees in it's rebellion against the general conference" Bishop Hoss said, but if this is true it is because only one side of the case has been presented to him. When he has heard both sides l believe he will see that the general conference is in the right.
 Virtually a Rebellion.
 At the meeting of bishops in Nash vile Bishop Wilson, who was presid- ing, told Bishop Hendrix that he (Wil- som would not consult Bishop Hen dirk about the matter under discus sion. because that would be too much like unfolding his plans to an enemy.
 This was virtually a charge of re- bellion against the church. and Bishop Hendrix promptly arose and left the room.
 Although Bishop Hoss did not say so, it is possibility that Bishop Hen dirk may withdraw from the church as a result of the dispute, and if it results in legal suit, the church may be divided. The situation is regarded by Methodists as the gravest since the schism of 1S44, when the Meth odst Church South split from the parent body.
 How Dispute Started.
 The dispute over Vanderbilt uni versity arose from the refusal of the board of trustees to accept three mem bers elected by the general confer ence at it's session in Asheville, N. C., last May At a meeting in June the board refused by vote of 19 to to accept these trustees, and elected three others, on the ground that the board was an autonomous and self perpetuating body, not subject to any ecclesiastical control,
 Bishop Hendrix was one of those who voted against receiving the mem bers at the general conference. He took the stand that under the deed of gift from Commodore Vanderbilt founder of the university, the board has the right to elect its own mem bers. Samuel Cupples of St. Louis

Special TO the World.

special 10 the world.
Guthrie, Okla, Sept 29.--Onc feat
ure of the doube-capital situation Is
that resident agents Of foreign cor
porations may reside either at Okla
homa city or Guthrie. The law on
this subject requires all foreign or
out-of-state corporations doing busl-
ness in OKLAHOMA to maintain resi-
dent agent in oklahoma at the state
capital, on whom service can be OBJ
taned at any time.
The object OF the law Is to make
foreign corporations always amenablo
to the processes OF Oklahoma courts.
None of the foreign corporations
have sent resident agents to Okla,
Instead they appoint some man at
the state capital their agent, at a
small fee or salary yearly, The rail-
roads usually make their Guthrie at
torneys their agents.
The result Of this practice has been
that three or four Guthrians have
built of a good little business as pro-
fessional resident agents"

parative statement issued by Bank
Commissioner Il. B. Cockrill shows
that on September /, 1910, the GS7
state banks of Oklahoma had $i5.-
O92,99y of individual deposits and re-
sources totalling SG5,034. .419.

It's and the liquidation of four banks

the condition of the state banks Feb
mary I, 1910, of the present state
ment shows that during the seven
months before September /, the state
banks decreased In numbers one ana

Since the state banks do about if-
ty-lye per cent of the banking busl-
ness of oklahoma, this statement Is
"A pretty fair index of conditions gen
orally The political importance of
the bank guaranty law, under which
the state banks operate, makes more
important the comparisons since II

state banks have about become sta
tionary, SO fiT as increasing ON the

DURING inc TWO years lnN'i N'HilS ~

i'm numbers from l70 to 6SS, and In
dnposlts. from S1S,032,2S3 to $40,722.-
927. This marvellous growth reached
its zenith the first Of the present year
however, and since that time has de-
clined somewhat, as the comparisons
show.
The present statement Is excellent
I'm one or two features. OVerdratts
have decreased from an average OF
