FREE NEWSPAPER
WAR IS STARTED
Leaders To Be Forbidden And Big
Pests Will Be No Longer Al
lowed in oklahoma.

Oklahoma City, June 19.-An organ
lied movement against free distribu-
tion newspapers is certain, and it is
not coming through the publishers so
much as the organized business mems
societies which have been annoyed by
these pests. The Pointers" free dis
tributed newspaper of the metropolis,
no longer is in the way but in smaller
cities are still scattered few of these
newspaper outlaws and they manage,
in hard times, to stop some advertis-
ing, merchants forgetting their duties
to the communities where they get
their patronage long enough to adver-
tise in the parasites. Complaint has
been made by the leading merchants
of the state as to the free distributed
newspaper, and such men as G. B.
Stone, the greatest merchant in Okla
homa and the organizer of this city
who led the battle for the great pack
ing industries now the biggest institu-
tions of the state, have over their own
signatures, declared against such pa
pers. The response has been generous
One by one the free distributed news
papers have gone their way. The mer-
camille world, so dependent upon the
growth and prosperity of every COM
munity for sustenance, has discovered
that whatever is free is seldom of ben
eft, and the leach which is dependent
upon the amount it can absorb with
out bringing something back in return,
is considered an outlaw in the world of
commerce.
The United States mails were long
ago refused to the free distributed
newspaper and various states refuse
them any aid. 1t is believed that the
next legislature will classify them in
the proper channel and end all further
effort to allow the public to be pest
cred with these institutions OF destluc-
tion.

CRUCE MAY CALL
OUT STATE MILITIA
Governor Declares Such Contests Are
Brutal And Are outIawed in
Nearly Every State.

Oklahoma City, June 19.-Governor
Cruce will call on the entire military
forces of the state if necessary to pre-
vent the proposed prize fight between
jim Flynn and Carl Morris on July
fourth, according to a letter addressed
by the governor Saturday night to
Sheriff ]. w. Berry of Creek county.
The governor described such con-
tests as brutal and says they have
been outlawed in nearly every state in
the union, and that as Oklahoma has
law against it, he will see thar 1t
is enforced even if it becomes neces'
sary to use state troops to do it.
The sheriff of Creek county is in
formed that he has authority to dep
utize every man in the county to as
sist him in enforcing the law and the
governor wants to know from the
sheriff what he intends to do about it.
The governor makes it plain that the
fight shall not take place no matter
what is necessary to prevent it. THE
question of whether or not a contest
of the kind is permitted to be in the
state is not debatable," says the gov
ernor. There is law in the state pro-
hibiting prize fights and the policy Of
the authorities is simply cited that
they must enforce the law no matter
what the private opinions of public
officials or public sentiment has to dc
with it.
Kansas City, Mo, June 19.-Despite
the threat of Governor Cruce to pre-
vent the Morris-Flynn fight, Jim Flynn
who is training in the Progressive Dem
ocratic Club gymnasium here, will con
tinue his work.
'T think the fight will come off ii
Oklahoma all right" said Flynn. g
received word from Mr.. Ufer last Fri
day not to worry about the threats
that were being made by the COVER
nor. 1 shall continue to train.
at makes little difference to nlt
whether the fight is staged in Okla
homa or some other state. They ma.
shift the battle to Africa if they wan
to. I'll fight wherever Ufer desires
me to-"
A forfeit of $1,500 has been postet
by Ufer to insure Flynn against los
in case the fight is called off.
