Washington, April 19.-Members of
the Supreme Court OF the United
States to-day put their heads to-
gether to determine whether a pret-
ty woman, particularly a pretty
New York woman, may prevent the
use of her photograph for adver-
tising or trade purposes. Photo
graphers newspapers and moving
picture men are said TO be vitally
concerned
The court was hearing the case
OF Mrs. Aida T. Rhodes, of Brook
lyn, n. Y. One day. arrayed in
her wedding gown. she had her
photograph taken for a birthday
present for her husband. Not long
afterward, her sister-in-law remark
ed: Il saw your picture to-day in
the window OF trading stamp
store"
Mrs. Rhodes obtained from the
company exhibiting her photo a
$1,000 judgment. Now the Supreme
Court is asked to annul, as uncon-
stitntional, the New York statute
making it misdemeanor to use a
photo for advertising or trade pur-
poses without the consent of the
subject.

4 Clockwork Man that Talks and
Sings.

ii. Whiteman, Berlin inventor,
has, after many years, succeeded in
making a mechanical man that can
walk, and make other human move
ments, and can speak, sing, whistle
and laugh. This mechanical mas
terpiece is so human that Mt dis
tance OF yard il cannot be told
from human being.
The figure is a mass OF intricate
cogs and machinery. In the chest a
number OF monographs are arrang-
ed, but how the machinery is con-
trolled is secret of the inventor.
1t has been said that wireless cleo
trio waves are at the bottom of the
mechanical miracle. Each part OF
the figure is controlled by a little
electric motor
The inventor carries about with
him disk upon which is a little
needle. This is attached to an
electric coil of his own invention,
which is in harmony with the little
motors inside of the figure. By
moving the needle from one point to
another, he starts by wireless
wave the parts that he wants to
move. And this principle is worked
out in endless combinations.
The invention seems in fact to
duplicate Bulwer Lytton's mechani-
cal servants in his famous story
The Coming Race" and at a la
ter date Fl. G. Wells's conception Of
the same solution OF the servant
problem.

tries and ages, have found inspira-

LAMAR BANK TO LIQUIDATE.
Action Taken by Directors - De
positors May be Fully Paid.

Darlington, April IT. At a
meeting Of the directors of the
Bank ofLamar at Lamar Darlington
county, held to-day, it was decided
to go into liquidation. 1t is be-
lieVed that with careful management
and by avoiding the costs of bank
ruptcy proceedings, the depositors
of the downfall of the institution.
DR.. James A. Cole, lately the
president of the bank, rendered his
resignation last week when it was
found that no money could be OBJ
tanned to continue operations. Mr..
w. w. Davis, who was the cashier,
resigned a few days before the
bank failed to open its doors for
business. There is no money on
hand to be paid out at this time,
and 1t lis not likely that there will
be any payments before collections
are made in the fall No one was
elected president to take the place
OF DR.. Cole, nor was any cashier
elected.
If the State banking laws have
been violated no information to that
effect could be gotten, but failure
to observe sound banking rules is
generally believed to be the cause
may be paid in full.
There is some criticism of the fail
ure of the State bank examiner to
discover, or. If he is discovered, to
report the condition of the bank,
which he examined not many days
before 1t was closed.

PROPOSES MOTORWAY VIA
VINITA TO MONT NE

Tulsa, Okla, Jan. PA motorway
from Oklahoma points to Monte Ne,
Ark, is the plan OF Colonel Coin Har-
vey, president of the Motor Club at
that place, and a number of other
prominent Oklahomans in Muskogee,
Tulsa, Vinita and Bartlesville.
AS something like $50 members of
the club live in Oklahoma, promoters
of the move have picked out a good
road for travel in automobiles. The
road will be marked by white stripes
painted on fence posts and telephone
poles so as to do oway with any un-
certainty on the part of travellers. The
route will be via Vinita, Grove, South
west City, Grayette and Rogers. Pres
ident Moffat of the Muskogee Automo-
bile Club and President Harvey of the
club will attend to the marking of the
white way.
1t is the plan of the promoters of the
motorway to have the Tulsa members
find a good road to Vinita, there to
join the great white way to Monte Ne.
1t is said that arrangements are being
made to that effect

Oklahoma City, Jan. 4.-The senate

ferred and advanced to the third read
ing. From the first proportions when
introduced the bill was greatly reduc-

fire marshal to investigate the cause of
every fire where property damage is
done and determine what is the re-
sponsibility. His salary of $4,000 a
year and the expense of his office will
be maintained by special tax of one
fourth of one per cent on the insur-
ance premiums.

THOMPSON POINTS OUT
WASTE OF CHURCH FUNDS
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Washington, d. c., Jan. 25. = Too
many churches in one city was the
theme of the address last night of the
Rev. DR.. Charles l.. Thompson, secre-
tory of the Presbyterian board of for
eign missions, at the opening session
of the annual meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in America.
Dr. Thompson cited New York as
a conspicuous example of the waste
of funds on churches. He declared that
the platform of the council was sus-
tanned by it's economy value, it's apollo
getic value and it's spiritual power
He said:
Tourists looking out of car windows
on small town having two churches,
inquire, why is this waste of the oint-
ment? 1t is pity to waste ointment,
but for every case of wasteful over
tapping out west ] will give you half
dozen of far more wasteful overlap
ping down east
'It is a pity there should be two
little churche in a town of three hun
dred each drawing a few hundred dol
lars a year from home mission treas
uries. But what about churches crowd
ing each other in the great cities at an
outlay of a hundred thousand dollars a
year-crowding till they gradually
crowd each other off the field and then
leave it churchless and hopeless.
There stands New York in the bad
eminence of waste of money beyond
any other home mission field know of
Let no man talk of western overlapping
so long as the ecclesiastical history of
New York and other capitals is remem,
bered.
Now for the practical question:
What can federation do for home mis-
sions? 1t and it alone can fully stand
ardize home missions. 1t is for fedora.
tion to climb to the top OF the world
to see and interpret the interplay OF
moral and spiritual forces. 1t ought
to be a spiritual clearinghouse whence
values are distributed, and standards
are erected.
"As to home missions, federation
should be able to say how it is related
to the city, to kindred reforms, to
world problems and to international
policies. In a word what part does il
play in Gods program for this world
"And then what can home missions
do for federation? Tersely home mis-
sions must accept to the full the re
sponsibility imposed by the larger
view and the wider connections. II
must live up to it's standard value and
its responsibility must be local as well
as large Home MISSION fields must
take local responsibility for federation
ideals. Federation at the top is g
Utopian dream without federation al
the bottom"

HASKELL TAMPERED WITH
UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATION

Oklahoma City, Jan. 25-An opinion
of the state supreme court Thursday
declared invalid the act of 1909 appro-
priating $2S4,S15.23 for the mainten-
ance of the state university to June
80, 1911. The court held that Cover
nor Haskell without authority, vetoed
certain items in a section which ap-
portioned the lump appropriated.
Associate Justice Hayes rendered
the opinion in the case of the board
of regents VS.. NJ. E. Trapp. state audi
tor. 1t sought to compel by manda-
mus the issuance of a warrant for
$2,235.70 to pay claim against the
board There were no funds available.
The legislature appropriated sufficient
but Governor Haskell reduced several
items and the board contested his right
to do so. This position was sustained
by the court, which went still further
and declared the bill had never be-
come law in that it had been ap-
proved in part and vetoed in part.
OF the appropriations of the legis-
lature of 1909, $1,111,O0O are in the
same condition and 100000 more
might be affected. Remedial legisla-
tion to legalize these appropriations
