PUBLISHERS ANNOUNCEMENT,

It is with considerable elation that the
World announces that it has secured the ser
vices of Colonel John R. Reavis to cover the
oil news of the Mid Continent field for this
paper For more than year we nave peen
working to accomplish this, but only now nave
we been able to succeed.
Colonel Reavs is known to every interest
in this field and most other fields, as man
thoroughly Conversant with oil conditions, free
from entangling alliances, and accurate to
hair 1t was these qualities that commended
him to the World. There is no more difficult
branch of newspaper effort than reporting con-
ditions and developments in the oil fields. Only
a man, experienced in the undertaking, and pos
sessing an unerring instinct for facts and fig
ures can produce results that will give the
reader measurable assurance that he can rely
on what he reads. Colonel Reavls has demon
strated his ability to measure up to these re-
quirements through his connection with several
trade publications that have made feature OF
the Mid Continent field
In thus naugurating an oil department the
World hopes, and expects, to make it entirely
worth while and thoroughly dependable The
trivial will not be noticed, but all Of the sub
stantial developments and worth while occur
rences will be covered as they occur and when
they occur A review of conditions in other
fields timely stories on the principal characters
in oil, field notes and general observations, will
serve, we believe, to make the Worlds oil de-
partment worthy of appreciation by its readers
and a source Of pride to itself.

During September

Two new shrines Of the Mystic
Shriners will be established in Okla
homa within the next thirty days.
one Of the shrines will be located in
Tulsa and the other In Muskogee.
The organization of the new shrines
comes from the rapid growth in the
membership of India Temple in Okla
homa City during the past year.
The new lodges will divide the
state, and in their organization India
Temple at oklahoma City will lose
about 400 members. The shrine
there will retain the membership of

Southern Oklahoma.
Past Imperial Potentate Clayton Of
ST. Joseph will come to Muskogee
and Tulsa to install the shrlnes there.

tion of the lodges will be attended by

day and told the twelve men who
are trying him for his life, how Will
lam IT. Jackson, tht aged Wall Street
broker came to his death IN the Iro-
quols HotcI The 17yoar-Old boy
showed a half-dazed appearance,
which has been noticed through the
trial.
After testifying that his acquaint-
ance with Jackson was so friendly
that the broker had given him the
key to his room, Geidel related his
visit to the brokers' room on the night
of his death.
Il let myself into Mr.. Jackson's
room with my key" he said. "Mr
Jackson said he was glad to see me.
He told me TO make myself comfort
able. We staid in the sitting room
about an hour, and then he went to
bed.
"While I was sitting there, he be-
came drowsy. l thought he was
asleep and I took his watch and
chain and SO and his pocket book.
Then he sat up and said, You're a
thief, and he grabbed me"
Geidel said that fight followed in
which he struck the broker two or
three times with his fist and the aged
man fell to the floor and lay still. It
was after death, according to Geidel's
story, that the boy went to the bath
room and saturated a rag with chlor-
oform, put It TO the brokers' mouth
and then left the hotel. Cross exam

In the hopes of settling the school
board muddle and of getting the
school affairs in such shape that the
school term, soon to open, may be
started without delay and without the
disturbances that have marked the
last few months, the attorneys for
the recently elected school board yes
terday took the initiative and placed
a proposition before the attorneys for
the old school board that it Is hoped
will definitely settle the school mixup
this week.
The proposition was this: That tho
attorneys take the matter before Dis
trict Judge L. NJ. Poe on Wednesday
morning on an agreed statement Of
facts, and that the case be decided on
Its merits as to which board is the
de jure, or legal school board, and
which ever way Judge Poe decides, to
let the winning side assume control of
the schools unmolested until the ap-
peal. which would surely be taken,
could be decided by the state Supreme
Court.
This proposition was placed before
Attorneys Biddlson &s Campbell, who
represent the old board, yesterday
morning, and up to o'clock last
night no reply had been received from
them by the attorneys for the new
board.
However, Mr.. Biddison stated to a
World reporter that his clients We're
willing to take the matter into court
In this way, and that the only point
on which they differed from the new
board was on the agreed statement
Of facts. lie said that the list Of
facts agreed on, which was submitted
by the attorneys for the new board
would have to be revised.
1t Is probable that very little trou-
BILE in this matter will be met with,
as Carl Magee, an attorney for the
new board, stated yesterday that his
clients were ready and willing to
make any reasonable concession IN
order to get the matter decided as
soon as possible.
In brief. the following are the facts
which are agreed on by the new board
and which were submitted to the at
torneys for the old board yesterday:
That both parties would be bound
by Judge Poe's decision until the SUI
preme court passed on an appeal
That the school board which Judge
Poe decides is the legal board. shall
have complete control of te schools
