CHECK WITHDRAWN
BY COURT ORDER
Gibson Construction Company Wins
Suit to Recover $500 Declared
Forfeited BY Board.

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 2S.-Under an
order of district court of Logan county
the state board of affairs must return
to the Gibson Construction company
the proceeds of certified check for
S6,5O0, put up by that concern in bid
ding on the contract for the construc-
ton of the asylum buildings at Vinita.
Judge Huston in a recent decision
holds that while the contractors are
presumed TO know the law to the eff
feet that the machinery of government
must have time to operate before these
building warrants can be paid, the con-
tractors also should have a right to
assume that the money would be forth
coming in a reasonable time.
The Gibson company was awarded
a contract for the main building and
the $6,500 check represented the legal
per cent deposit required. Later the
company backed down from it's con-
tract, alleging it had discovered there
was no money in the state building
fund and none in sight. The court holds
that the contracts should not have
been advertised at the time they were
advertised for the reason that the
board should have known there would
be delay in payment and that the con-
tractors should not be called on to
bear all the penalties of delay.
The main question was: Does the
deposit by the plaintiff of the certi-
fed check for $6,5O0 as liquidated
damages in case of default The court
holds that under the circumstances
the state has suffered no actual dam
age and can not hold the amount.
Another important decision has been
made by Judge Huston in the case of
the National Surety company against
the state banking board, in which the
company sought to recover the $4,000
paid by it to protect the school land
fund in the wrecked Columbia bank
The plaintiff is not entitled to recover,
in the opinion of the court. The su-
preme court has held that the bank
must first repay to the guaranty fund
$250,000 due depositors before the
surety company can get anything. The
payments to general depositors abb
sorbed the 20 per cent of assets COL
lected and the lower court holds that
the school land fund repayment is not
available from the guarantee fund.
The district court overruled the mo-
tion of the attorney general to amend
the agreed statement of facts.

SMALL AUDIENCE
SEES GREAT PLAY

Three Weeks" with Marcella Ham
ilton in the role Of the unfortunate
Queen of Sardalia, gave the best show
of the season at the Auditorium last
evening, and had the smallest house.
The weather during the day prob
ably had some influence on the size of
the crowd. Then there were eompet-
ing attractions in town. The Masonic
installation must have commanded the
attendance of many OF our most in
telligent and appreciative theater-
'goers.
More powerful than either of these
circumstances in keeping people away
was the reputation which the critics
had given to Elinor Glyn's book. Many
who would have liked to go. didn't
quite have the nerve. They were
afraid the play was loaded.
Their fears were groundless. The
pay does deal with subjects which are
considered taboo in good society. The
horror of loveless marriage, the needs
Of wonan's soul, the right of a child
to be born of love-these are its.
themes but it deals with them in
language as clean as a maiden's-
thought, and the tense emotionalism of
the leading part and the final tragedy

|of the unconventionality of the action
which had been portrayed, and left
the final impression of purity as of

popular dramatic presentation Three.
Weeks" is open to criticism. 1t lacks
the snap and go Of successful melo-
drama. Compared with a play like
"Graustark," there was nothing doing
a good deal of the time.
The fact is, Elinor Glyn attempted i'm
Three Weeks" dramatic form for
which there is not much demand just
now. The play was written as
tragedy; conceived as tragedy grim
and remorseless as Hamlet" set in
the flaming light of passion such as
not even Shakespeare could draw, be-
cause he had never measured the pas
sionate depth and barbaric intensity
of the Slavic nature.
Besides Three Weeks" is a tragedy
of the soul, and If there are two things
in the world in which it is difficult to.
interest the average modern man or
woman, those two are tragedy and the
soul.
Nevertheless the play was a splen-
did success, because of the superb act
ing of Miss Hamilton. 1t is doubtful
If Vinita has ever seen finer emo
tional actress. There were times, as
in the second act, when the absence
of anything like external action for
considerable periods of time brought
the whole weight of the play on her
part; and she was Johnny ON the spot
with the goods. The audience was in
appreciatiye at first, but the parting
and the death scenes captured the peo-
pie in spite of themselves. The sup
port was good, but after all Three
Weeks" is essentially a one-part play.
If 1t should come here again with Miss
Hamilton as the queen, it would prob
ably play to full house.

the animals have been poisoned by
aliens who wanted their skins. The
secretary recommends that some part
of the islands be made a reservation
and that wireless station be installed
at Dutch Harbor, or Unalaska and also
on theh Pribilof Islands. Revenue

greater advantage against pelagic
