NATIONAL BANKERS MEET.
Recently Converted Financiers May
Take Action.

Oklahoma City, Okla, April c.
Representatives of national banks
which have recently converted from
state banks met here today to perfect
organization with the view of resist
ing collection of the l per cent en-
ergency assessment made for the ben
eft of the state guaranty fund by the
state banking board.
Little information was allowed to
leak to the public, but it is said the
movement represents about fifty ma
tionals, which the story is, have de-
serted their state charters in the last
thirty days, and representing a total
assessment of about $150,000.
Complaint against the assessment
is two-fold, the bankers claiming
there was no necessity for 1t, at least
such necessity had not been known
to them, and, second, they object to
the use of guaranty money to keep
weak institutions going.
This complaint, it was made plain
by one of the bankers, is not against
the present state administration or
present banking board, but 1t is point
ed out that in the last fourteen
months the state has rushed to the
rescue of banks in a bad condition
and loaned the guarantee fund to
keep their doors open.
State bankers here today said that
as soon as the report Of the exami-
nation of the guaranty fund made by
the state bankers association was re-
ceived by the individual bankers, a
meeting would be held to consider it.
Just what the report shows has not
been made public.
The banking board will probably
make a test case with some of the re-
Gently converted state banks for the
purpose of collecting the 1 per cent
guaranty fund assessment.

She says her husband made her saw

after she was tired from the days

abuse the democrats and republicans;
because she did not keep posted on
socialism he called her a fool with

GET A JOB AND
HOLD IT DOWN
POLICE is AFTER ALL THE vAGs.
MILLIONAIRE AND PAUPERS
FINED ALIKE.

Every police officer left the station
this morning with long list of names
of persons charged with vagrancy
Here in Oklahoma nearly any old
body can be a vag. You may be
worth million and be a vag. If you
are a drunkard, you are vag, If you
are a poker player, you are vag, if
you fail to support your family, you
are a vag and now how are are all
OF us to escape being a vag at some
time and under some circumstances :?
After the police had made the first
round there was a fine looking bunch
before his honor, the Judge of the
municipal court. Some were fined,
the most of them were fined, but one
fellow proved that he had a Job. that
he had been working for ten days
really he had put in ten days at hard
labor and his boss testified that he
was so we'll pleased with the result
Of the ten days work that the defend
ant had job just as long as he want
ed it. And Judge Gait was touched
with pity because the Oklahoma law
wouldn't allow him to fine the fellow
anyway, and had to turn him loose
One able-bodied man fought his case
and he fought hard. lie didn't have
the price to pay an attorney, but he
pleaded his own case. He talked with
tears in his eyes. His defense was
that he had really worked. The man
he worked for was put on the stand.
Yes" the witness said, "your honor,
the defendant worked for me. He did
three hours work three years ago
and since that time have not known
of his ever doing anything" you
may stand aside" said the court and
there was a fine entered against the
name of the vag on the docket.
Another made a fight to save his
fine money. He stood ready to prove
he was no vag, he could show that he
owned property valued at $4,000 and
might prove the same property was
worth $4,000, If the court would al
low him to get certain witnesses.
Owning property is no defense"
said the court. Have you been lying
around pool halls?" "Yes," was the
answer. Are you engaged in any
kind of 1abor?". A negative answer
came from the poor fellow and that
was enough. Found guilty" said the
judge.
Now, if some fellow comes to you
with a red nose and soft muscles,
some fellow that does not have the
