SUPREME COURT WILL
CONSOLIDATE BANK CASES

Washington, D. c. Oct. 26.-The SUI
preme court of the. United States dis
missed the petition of the national
banks of Kansas for a review of the
case in which Judge Pollock held that
the bank guaranty law of Kansas is
unconstitutional The action of the
court has no bearing on the merits of
the question. Three other cases, in
volving the state guaranty laws, re-
spectively, of Oklahoma, Kansas and
Nebraska, are on the courts docket,
and probably will be reached for argu-
ment before the holidays.
The dismissal of the petition of the
Kansas national banks was without
an opinion by the court, although from
the nature of the three cases it is un-
derstood that the action was taken
with view to facilitating the proceed
ings The Oklahoma case has preced-
ence on the docket, having been filed
last year. That the three cases may
be heard at one time the court today
consolidated the Kansas and Nebraska
cases and advanced them for hearing
with the Oklahoma case.

OF OIL REFINERY
Business Men of Vinita Guarantee to
Furnish Site According to Mr..

That Vinita will now get the big oil
refinery to be erected by R. W. Will
kins and others now seems a certainty.
Several of the business men of this
city got together and signed a guar
antee that the city would furnish the
site asked for by the company.
This site comprises twenty acres
lying just north of the Frisco railroad
on Cabin creek, west of town. When
the representatives of the refinery
were in the city and looked over this
site they pronounced it ideal and stat
ed that if the Commercial Club would
give them the site the refinery would
be built. The secretary of the Com
mercial club secured options on the
land and obtained the signatures of a
number of citizens to the guarantee
and the same viii be forwarded to Mr..
Wilkins at once.
1t is said work will be started on
the refinery as soon as the land is con-
veyed to the company.

COURT TO LEAVE
DECISION TO JURY
Judge Thompson overrules Motion to
Take Case From Jury And In
struct for Verdict.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 26.-Attorneys
for Senator Pemberton and Repres-
entative Clark on trial for their al
legged part in the conspiracy to OBJ
tain money for their votes on the cap
ltal furniture contract, made a motion
to have the court instruct the jury to
return a verdict in favor of the de-
PENDANTS.
In support of the motion Attorneys
Emery Andrews and Hugh Graham de-
clared that the state had failed to
make proof of the cases in the evil
dence submitted that the commission
which awarded the furniture contract
had no authority to do so, this power
being vested in the secretary of state
While the motion was being argued,
the jury was taken from the court
room. States Attorney Burke replied
when the court convened last night
Following the appearance on the wit
ness stand of Senator Holstlaw and
J. w. Knox in the morning, Otto Frier,
who represented the successful bidder
in the furniture contract, testified that
he conversed with Pemberton, Clark
and Holstlaw about the contract He
said that at one time Clark told him
that he would require $1,000 for his
vote and Holstlaw at first demanded
$4,000, but later agreed to accept
$1,000.
A. B. Johnston of this city, the wit
ness said, was present when it was
agreed that Holstlaw should get $1,000.
In the event Of the courts refusing
to direct the verdict of mot guilty"
it is expected that the testimony will
all be in by the time court adjourns
today and it is likely that the case will
so to the jury by Saturday.
Judge Thompson last night over

The Kansas City Star Wednesday
evening contained an account of the
arrest of a well known Oklahoman.
Before going to Kansas City he left a
memento to Sam Parks of this city in
the way of a worthless check for $40.
The following is what the Star says:
/ Henry B. Smith, who formerly was
arch-deacon of the southern half of
the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma and
rector of st. Phillips church of Ard
more, Okla, is in Kansas City, at the
prosecutors Office on a charge of pass
ing worthless checks. If his own
statement is to be taken literally he
has been conducting himself in a man.
ner that for unrestrained joyousness
seldom, if ever, has been exceeded
here. Which introduces his statement,
corroborated by several persons.
Smith came here last Friday, as
agent for the Petroleum Development
company of Ardmore, Okla. He had
assumed that work after resigning, on
account of his health, the duties of
rector year ago. In the meantime,
Mr.. Smith said, he had become addict
ed to the whisky and morphine habits.
Six weeks ago he sent his wife and
four children to stay with her parents
in Park City, Okla, while he went to
a sanitarium in Oklahoma City to seek
cure for his habits.
Last week he left the sanitarium, be-
| lieving himself restored sufficiently to
take up business again. On the way to
Kansas City he began to drink. He
continued after reaching the Hotel
Baltimore. Then his fancy turned to
motoring.
Smith first hired touring car from
the Royal Motor company, in which he
toured some $15 worth, with two wo,
men he accumulated. He was so pleas
ed with the possibilities of motor
car that the day following he bought
one from the Chalmers Automobile
company, giving in exchange a check
for 81, $50 on the National Bank of Ok
lahoma. The check was valueless.
Pending the delivery of the car
Smith obtained the Endorsement of j.
A. Nelson, president of the motor COM
pany, on personal check for $35,
which he cashed at the Hotel Balti-
more.
But Mr. Smith could not wait for the
arrival of the new car for more joy
rides. He hired car from the Lands
Auto company and ran up bill of SIT,
which he satisfied temporarily with a
worthless check. Also, he changed
his lodging to the Hotel Kupper, where
he was staying when arrested Myron
C. Albertson, president of the Royal
Auto company, says Mr.. Smith ar
ranged the purchase of another motor
car somewhere in the city. Mr.. Smith
says he may have done so, but does
not recall the particulars.
At any rate the climax to his finan-
cial and motoring endeavors came on

$50 on the bank of Welch, Okla, at

MAKING EFFORT TO
STOP BOOTLEGGING
Returns From Sale Of Liquors Cap
ured in Craig County Would Pay
Expense of Sheriff's Office.

1t is getting to be the general opin-
ion around town that if it is possible,
under the existing law, to stop the
sale of liquor in Craig county, Sheriff
Ridenhour intends to see that it is
stopped.
Monday night the sheriff and three
deputies spent the entire night search
ing for bootleggers and their wares.
For these sleepless nights the only
compensation the officers get is the
knowledge that they are trying to full
fill the duties of their office. Last
night ten cases of whiskey was cap
tured in box car in the Frisco yards.
If Craig county had received the
funds for the sale of all the whiskey
captured by Mr.. Ridenhour and his
force it would more than pay the en-
tire expense of the sheriffs office.
These captures, however, are turned
over to the state and the county
doesn't get cent out of it.
Those who want the law enforced
must realize that every obstacle pos
sible is thrown in the way of the Off
GERS and before condemning the Off
GERS it would be well to investigate
what he is doing and cooperate with
him in the enforcement of the law
Sheriff Ridenhour is making splendid
officer but needs the support of the
law abiding citizens If the law is to
be enforced.

printers have been working with the

Or. NAGLE'S IMPLICATION
A THRUST At CREAGER

Tulsa, Okla, Oct 27.-Some ques
tions asked Hon. Charles E. Creager
republican nominee for congress, by
DR.. VIM M. Nagle of Muskogee, a re
publican too, are yet unanswered. DR.
Nagle asked Creager the following
when you, sought your first nomin
alton for congress, is it not a fact that
a large portion of your campaign ex
pense was paid by check on a bank
outside of the state, to-wit: at Inde
pendence, Kansas?"
In other words, Dr. Nagle indirectly
charges Mr.. Creager with checking on
bank in Kansas that is alleged to
have been a connecting link between
the republican candidate and the
Standard Oil company. Mr.. Creager
did not answer the question
When Mr.. Creager was in the em.
ploy of the government, his business
was with the oil industry of Oklahoma
This would put him in touch with the
Standard Oil interests, and from the
reports of oil men, it did put him "in
touch" with certain oil concerns that
led directly to the bank in Kansas, the
home of Standard in the mid-continent
field.
DR.. Nagle's implication is a direct
thrust at the republican candidate
and shows the temper of the independ
ent republicans towards the congress
man.
