CLAIMS HIS STEP-SON
HAD been KIDNAPPED
FOUR TULSANS FIGURE IN AN
EPISODE THAT ENDED IN
ARKANSAS COURT.

Following a thrilling chase across
two states after his step-son, Buck
Self, who, he claimed, was Kidnapped
in Tulsa two weeks ago, II. NJ. Wal
ker has returned to his home at
Mounds with young Self, who is a
minor, and possessor of valuable oil
property in the Glenn Pool. Walker
found his step-son at Newport, Ark,
last Wednesday night in the company
of Tom Gilcrease, a wealthy young
Tulsa oil man: Robert Wilson, Ray
Burt and Cassie Vowel, all three Of
Tulsa.
Walker charged the quartet with
kidnapping Buck Self for the purpose
of holding him until he became Of
age when he would have authority to
sign over valuable leases on his land
Gilcrease and his companions were
discharged by judge at Little Rock
last Friday and returned home the
next day Walker with his step-son
went back to Mounds
Gilcrease told the court before
which he was arraigned that Self had
been out with the party, which was
merely on pleasure jaunt. Sells
oil lands of which he will come into
possession when he is 21. will yield an
income of 100000 yearly, it is said
Regarding the escapade, Mr.. wal
kor told newspaper men at Little
Rock the following story:
MY step-son has an allotment in
the Glenn Pool oil fields between
Mounds and Sapulpa, but will not be
able to sign lease for two months
being under age. Gilcrease who alsa
has an allotment in the same fields,
IS anxious to procure a lease on my
step-son's allotment, which produces
an income of about 100000 year.
and knows that unless he can get the
boy under his influence, It will be i'm
possible for him to obtain the lease.
The others are only tools in the hands
of Gilcrease i'm securing this allot-
ment.
The boy left home August 20, FOR
Tulsa, Okla. in his car, and I sup
posed that ne was going on pleasure
trip. I happened to have business at
Tulsa on the following day. and
when I arrived there found Self had
left his car in a garage and had left
with Gilcrease In another car for
Wan, Okla. This aroused my sus-
picions and | telegraphed to Wan to
have them stopped. but Self had al
ready left there for Fort Smith.
II followed them. but when ar
rived at Little Rock they had deserted
the machine and left 1t at the Little
Rock Auto Company garage with in
strucfion to overhaul II, saying that
II would be three months before they
called for II. All of them are young
men. Gilcrease being 22 years OF age.
His allotment has netted him about
100000 since he became Of age"

PLAN ADDITIONAL ROOM
school Board Last Night Considered
New Building for Kendall
Addition.

with a total enrolment of 2,S35,
or just 1890 less than the total enroll
mont at the close of the school season
last spring, the Tulsa schools were
opened for the lg11-l2 term yester-
day, Most of the morning was spent
in enrolling the scholars and assign
ing them TO their seats. with the
exception of one room at the North
Side school, every seat In all the
school buildings was file dby noon.
Those in charge Of the schools con-
slider the enrolment up to anticipa-
tions, and estimate that 1t is just as
strong, or stronger, than on the open
ing day last year
In some Of the schools the enroll
ment yesterday exceeds that of the
opening day Of school last year, and
in others the enrolment fell short Of
last seasons. The most striking in
stances Of this kind were noted at
BcllVlew school, where the tnroll-
ment yesterday of 255 students show
ed an increase Of 105 over last years
initial enrolment, and at the North
Side school, where there was an en-
rollmont Of 397, as against 372 on the
opening day of school in 1910, and
the enrolment of 4l0 at the end Of
the first week of school In that year
At the end Of the season there
were over 500 students enrolled at
the North Side school.
Superintendent Downing stated yes
terday that there was an urgent need
of additional school quarters, and the
school board will probably make pro-
visions for additional room within the
next few days.
The school board met last night
for the particular purpose of consid-
oring a new school house for Kendall
Addition, the basement of Kendall
College, which is now being used for
school purposes, having been declar-
ed unsanitary and cramped. In the
near future work will begin on a sub
stantial brick school building for Ken
dali, 1t is said.
The forenoon yesterday was occu-
pied in the different schools in classi-
flying the students and giving them
lists Of new books to be purchased.
No school was held in the afternoon.
All the afternoon the down town
streets were filled with happy faced
youngsters, the most of them carrying
big arm loads of books.
This morning at 9 o'clock the real
school work will begin in all the
schools. BY the end Of the week, It
is estimated the total enrolment will
be in the neighborhood of 1000.

COMING WINTER TO
BE LONG AND cold
TREES, THEN THE INDIANS
WEAVE BLANKETS.

When the Great spirit sends the
rain down upon his peoples crops in
the fam when the birds and the in
sects abound and devastate all grow
ing things; when the trees in the
forests are covered with mast-lots
Of chinquopins-then the Indian
with the knowledge of his fore
fathers handed down from genera
ton to generation-knows that he
must begin by laying in his food for
the winter; must repair his tepee,
and must weave more and thicker
blankets, that he and his squaws and
papooses will be guarded from the
chilly blasts that the Great Spirit
sends down to vent his wrath on
those who have not obeyed him.
Thus runs the old Indian weather
prophecy. Written in more modern
English, 1t means this:
When acorns are abundant on the
trees in the fall, they mean long
and cold winter, but lots to eat for
the hogs and birds
The Indians in this section say the
sign was never more in evidence than
right now, and the Indians prophe-
cies never go wrong
Not only the ancient Indian signs,
but the nredictions Of the govern
ment observatories, point to long
cold winter in not only Oklahoma,
but all parts of the country.

OF THE H.E. MEET
A SPECIAL TRAIN COULD NOT BE
ACQUIRED,
RAILWAYS were SCARED
Annual sufferers Association Was
Organized In 1873 and Has
Been Thriving.

Tulsa was not represented at the
United States Hay Fever Assoca-
tion's annual convention, which closed
yesterday at Bethleham, n. II. The
reason for this absence from the con-
VentiOn OF Tulsans Is not ascribed to
the non-presence Of any hay fever
ties here, but rather because the dis
tance was too great for the majority
of them to make the trip. The pro-
ject to charter n special train to the
convention was given up by the Tulsa
II. +. victims, because railroad Off
cials informed the promoters that the
presence of such a large number Of
''sneeZes" under the roofs of one train
would probably cause the said roofs
to be blown off and perchance result
In serious disaster.
Think not for one fleeting moment
that the hay feverites in Tulsa We're
not with the big convention, heart
and soul. In fact, it is estimated that
for every speech made at the gather
ing four hundred rousing, atmos-
phere-s splitting sneezes were emitted
In this city
To the scores OF members of the
United States Hay Fever Association
in Tulsa, the following account of
what transpired at the annual con-
vention, and a short history of the
organization, might be interesting
Hay fever fans from all over the
United States and Canada, the most
enthusiastic bunch Of Sufferers ever
gathered to discuss any ailment, as
sembled here today in the annual con-
vention Of the United States Hay Few
er Association. Addresses by prom
inent victims and doctors occupied
the morning session, and there were
few sneezes to interrupt the pro-
gram, as most of the visitors have
found freedom from their pet disease
in this little Green Mountain town.
This afternoon and tomorrow will
be taken up by telling by several hun
dred victims, of their symptoms and
their various attempts to secure re-
lief. These experience meetings are
always the big feature of the annual
conventions, as there is nothing
hay fever fan likes to talk about more
than symptoms. The victims of the
disease, by reason of their assoca-
tion, have come to consider them
selves a sort of aristocracy and far re-
moved from the common mob.
THE tales Of former victims will be
welcomed with special warmth, They
will be expected to tell how they
eluded the clutches of the terrible
