ELkS MASQUERADE DANCE
DELIGHTS vtNITA SOCIETY

A social event, that by many is
thought to have surpassed. anything of
the kind ever attempted in Vinita, was
the first annual masquerade ball. CIV
en- by Lodge No 1862, of the Benevo-
lent and Protective Order of Elks, at
their luxurious club rooms last night.
There were probably seventy-five
couples on the floor and probably fifty
persons in attendance, who did not
dance.
The spacious dance hall was deco
rated in colors and at about $3.50 the
guests, arrayed in all kinds of grotes-
que and fantastic costumes. The Jop-
lin orchestra, from it's shelter of palms
sent forth the sweet strains that so
delighted the assembled declples of
Terpsichore. The music is probably
the best ever furnished for a ball in
Vinita.
During the entire lemonade and
punch was served from three large cut
glass punch bowls in the reception
hall.
So quickly and pleasantly did the
hours slip away that before the dan
GERS hardly realized it, midnight had
passed and the hands on the clock
were pointing to the morning hours.
About o'clock the program was fin
ished and the happy dancers took their
leave.

VENTERS BUILDING RA|DED
BY SHERIFF RIDENHOUR

In a raid on the Venters building, on
the east side last night, Blunt Martin
and negro woman were arrested, and
several bottles of beer confiscated.
Martin and the woman were arrested
on a charge of illegal cohabitation,
but promised Sheriff Ridenhour that
they would be married if the charge
was not pushed. The sheriff agreed
and this morning the negro couple
was married at the office of Justice
of the Peace o. D. Neville.
On account of the belief that joint
was operated in the Venters building
the sheriff locked the building tight,
after the raid last night.

THOMPSON WILL
SUCCEED FRAzEE
Change in Vinita Bank to Occur About
December 15-Robert Lee Will
Go to Adair.

The International Bank G. Trust
company of Vinita has secured Mr.. R
p. Thompson, cashier of the Bank oil
Adair, as one of it's substantial stock
holders, and he will become active
managing officer about the 18th of De
cember. He will succeed Mr.. S. R
Frazee, who will retire for the pur
pose of going into business on his
own account.
The officers of the International
Bank & Trust company feel that they
are very fortunate in securing Mr.
Thompson as one of their associates
in business as he is very progressive
young banker, who has succeeded in
building up the Bank of Adair into
one of the best institutions in his part
of the state. He is considered one of
the most capable young men in his
line in this part of Oklahoma. He has
bought substantial block of the stock
of the International Bank & Trust
company and will buy home in this
city and become one of its citizens.
Mr.. ]. w. Orr and M. F. Knight have
purchased a part of his holdings in
the Bank of Adair and have been elect
ed on the board of directors of the in
stitution. Mr.. Robert E. Lee of Big
Cabin, has been elected cashier of
the Bank of Adair and will move there
about December 18th. This is a de-
served promotion to Mr.. Lee, who has
been faithful and competent in the
upbuilding of the Bank of Big Cabin.
Mr.. w. T. Walling, banker of Boyn-
ton, has been elected cashier of the
Bank of Big Cabin and will arrive on
December 1st to take this position
with the bank. He is a very success
full young banker and comes highly
recommended by his former associ-
ates.
Mr.. Frazee retires from the bank

purpose than to engage in his chosen
line of business, believing that he has
learned that at the proper time in life
and can pursue it with a greater de-
gree of remuneration to himself than
stop to learn new business at this
time of life. The management was
loath to give him up, as he had proven
a splendid man in the position, which
he had assumed over one year ago.
Everybody seems to be well pleased
with the new changes and the officers
Of the bank seem to feel that they
have secured in the services of Mr..
Thompson permanent officer, who
can take care of the banks interest
and maintain its reputation in the
community as the leading institution in
this part of the state.

INSURGENTS GAIN
MUCH STRENGTH
Rumor That Haskell Would Turn
Against Oklahoma City if Putnam
City Deal is Defeated.

Oklahoma City, OKLA, Nov. 80
Last night there was chesty feeling
among a number of democratic mem
bers of the house who are mapping
out an insurgent program to defeat the
location of the capital at Putnam City,
and thereby explode a bit of dynamite
under real estate venture of some
magnitude. These insurgents declare
that the capital should be near the
center of Oklahoma City, and that
they fear possible developments that
might follow the carrying out of the
Putnam City scheme. Whatever their
reason, their number is growing and
they have risen to the dignity of a
good sized caucus.
These insurgents declare that un-
less the Putnam City scheme is to be
thrown overheard, they will defeat
the attachment of the emergency
clause to the capital removal bill,
which might be fatal to the whole CAP
ital removal enterprise. Taking the
house vote on concurrence in the gov
ernor's call as basis for the state
ment only few votes would have to
be changed to defeat the two-thirds
necessary for the emergency clause.
The Haskell combination can hardly
afford to let insurgency reach rank
growth.
Representative ]. H. Maxey Jr., of
Shawnee, one of the insurgent leaders,
is drafting capital location bill that
is intended to thwart the plans of the
Putnam City interests. A wealthy and
influential resident of Oklahoma City
was asked if the people locally
wished the capital to be at Putnam
City. He replied that perhaps 80 per
cent were opposed to it. The matter
came up at conference of business
men week or ten days ago in con-
nection with the calling of the special
session.
An intimation was received, how
ever, that if a fight should be made on
the Putnam City location, Governor
Haskell might become unfriendly to
Oklahoma City which meant that Ok
lahoma City might lose the capitol. 1t
was decided that Oklahoma City would
rather have the capital at Putnam
City than not at all and further talk
was abandoned.
