SYMPOSIUM ON STATE FAIR
BY THE PRESS OF OKLAHOMA
Newspapers All Over State Commend Officers for Their
Courage and Urge Their Various Counties to Have
Credtable Displays at Big Exposition

The press of Oklahoma is agreed on
the point that the Oklahoma state Fair
Association deserves much credit for
what it is doing this year in the way of
preparing one of the biggest exposi-
tions III its history. Glowing tributes
to the worth Of The big Oklahoma show
which will be held in Oklahoma City
from and including Sept 26 to Oct Z
have been paid by many OF the leading
papers OF the state. Here are a few
excerpts: ----.,..----..-.--...
"When it looked as though okla
homa's agricultural production would
be small this year, the management OF
the Oklahoma State Fair went ahead
with it's preparations. Their faith was
justified, and it is likely the farm eX-
hibits to be seen at the Oklahoma fair
this fall win amaze all comers. -
Daily Oklahoman
"The Oklahoma State Fair is one OF
the biggest assets Of the state. and
one that no one can AFFORD to do other
wise than boost, and while the condi-
tions in Oklahoma may make the agri-
cultural showing at the fair this year

vertising qualities the surer when me

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
FEvERIsH SPECULATION. Rise and Fall of Ono Stock Made the
 haFtut Feature.

New York, Feb. 15.-11issouri Pacific was the dominant factor in speculation on the stock exchange today. After a day of feverish speculation in the stock, during which it advanced nearly four points, and then fell back almost as much, came the announcement that George J. Gould would re1inquish the presidency and that representatives of the Kuhn, Loeb-Standard oil and Ger man interests would enter the board at the annual meeting next month. MT. Gould's statement that no contest for control of the road was in progress. while hardly in line with advices from St. Louis yesterday that an active campaign for proxies had been begun, was accepted as indicating that an amicable settlement had been reached.
 There is the best authority for the statement that today's developments mark the beginning of movement severance of the Gould family from active management of the various railroad properties with which it has so long been Identified.
 Missouri Paoifc'S swift rise to 63 on heavy deaiings goon after the opening unsettled the general market. The list grew SteAdier. however, on the reac- tion in Missouri Pacific, and remained close te last nights lsvsi until the end of the session. ~MisUouri Pacific itself feu of nearly . point on announcement of Mr. Gould's coming retirement, and closed with only . fractional net gain.

 Discount rates in London weakened today, owing largely to the increased supply of money on the payment of $15,000.000 for treasury bills and ad- vices from that center pointed to ex- pectation of a reduction in the Bank of Ens1and's rate tomorrow. Such a re- duction doubtless would give impetus to the buying of American securities abroad.

CHARLIE kENNEprs CASE.
Cannot Enter Tuberculosis Homs-Not
 a Connecticut Resident.

Commissioner John T. Gunshanan of the state tuberculosis commission said at Hartford on Wednesday that the commission will be unable to aid Char lie Kennedy, the former baseball play CT and Connecticut league umpire, who is practically down and out in Norwich with consumption. MT. Gunshanan re- ceived a letter from A. W. Lillibridge. first seleetman of Norwich in which Kennedy's case was stated. It was written at Kennedyis request and he said he would like to get into the state sanitarium in Meriden.
 MT. Gunshanan expressed much sym pathy for Kennedy He said the dif1- culty is that Kennedy is not a legal resident of Connecticut, although he was born in Baltic, this state. He has been for long time a resident of Sprangfield, and the Connecticut sani- tariums are for Connecticut people only.
 According to the letter from Norwich Charlie is in serious condition and will not long require assistance from anybody. Mir. Gunshanan has written to the Norwich selactnan regretting his power to act in the matter.

Monday was general one, and it will l, take Wray some time to sift out the good material. Over one hundred can didates frequently turn out at the be ginning of the season and some sea- sons six or seven freshman crews have been put on the water
 Wray has turned out some fine freshman crews in the last few years, and he has some splendid material to work with this year. So many fresh- house during all the winter that Wriay could pick a freshman crew now that would average over 173 pounds. One of the most promising men is CI1and- Ter of New York, who prepared at Eton school, England, where he learn ed enough rowing to make him the most likely man for stroke on his freshman crews
 Wray's Seventh Year. This is the seventh year that wray has been in charge of rowing at Har- ward. He has won four out of his six varsity races against Yale, the last three years having been consecutive victories. Against Cornell. Harvard has not made such good showing. but has at least been able to make a race for the Cornell crews, which was more than sine could do a few years ago. As it stands today, Cornell is su- preme, but Wray and the Harvard men go after the race every year and are making things closer each time they get together. In former years Harvard has rowed two preliminary races, either Columbia or Annapolis. as well as Cornell. before getting ready for the Yale race.
 This has oftentimes proved too much for some of the men: the men: ths constant training, which has been nec- essary when one race was no sooner out of the way than they had to get ready for the next, has put several of the men on edge too early in the sea- son. and this year the varsity crew will row only against Cornell and Yale.
 Race Date Not Fixed.
 The date of the Yale race has not been settled, as Yale is still trying to get the date set ahead a week earlier than usual so as to fit in with the rest of the commencement programme If thes race is held a week earlier than usual, May 30. the usual date of the Cornell race will be too late, as it would give Wray less than month to get the crew in shape again. Probably if 1t can be arranged the race with Cornell will be held early enough in May to allow at least five weeks before the Yale race.
