There has been no more notable

history as one of the most recherche
affairs of the year.
The Avery home on South Boulder
avenue, which is distinctive for the
exquisite taste with which it is fur
nished, and for the beauty and hand
some finish of the interior which is
done in strictly mission style with pan
eled walls and beamed ceilings, seem
ed more than usually attractive this
afternoon, when it was simply but ar
tistically decorated throughout the
lower floor with ferns, palms, roses and
carnations. In the drawing room, a
color scheme of crimson and green
was predominant and this was EN-
bodied in ferns and palms together
with rich colored crimson roses placed
in bowls and jars on piano and mantle.
Crimson shaded candles and many
side-wall lantern lights with green art
glass shades furnished the subdued
illumination for the pretty picture of
the large assemblage of women and
girls in their daintiest and handsom-
est of frocks and gowns.
'The dining room with it's panelng
of rich, dark oak was vision of beauty
and act in pink and green which color
motif was also carried out in the dainty
china and the benu of the luncheon.
"Air plants in small brass and old
silver bowls were placed on brackets
around the room, and the table was
lovely with its Cluny lace cover and
center piece of graceful long stemmed
pink roses. Carnations in the same
dainty shade adorned the buffet. lend

COMPTROLLER TO
INVESTIGATE BANKS

Washington, Jan. 14.-An investiga-
ton OF the relative strengths Of the
various classes of national banks is
about to be undertaken by the comp
troller of the currency. Bankers in
general expect the result will be high
ly important as it probably will have
much influence in determining the
question of the advantages and disad-
vantages of so called branch banking" ,"
For the purposes of this investigation
the banks will be classified according
to their capital When it is concluded
the comptroller expects to know
whether the average $4,000 national
bank in a small town is relatively as
well managed and in as sound condi-
ton as the $5,OOO,O0O bank in a large
city.
Statistics of the comptroller's office
show that share holders in national

BIG TUMBLE IS PREDICTED
FOR PRICES OF FOOD STUFF

Chicago. H., Jan IS. - Millions Of
pounds of butter eggs, cheese and
poultry held in the cold storage ware
houses here will be thrown on the
market before May 1, and a general
tumbling of food prices is expected
at once, according to commission mer-
chants.
Numerous Chicago commission men
are said to be facing failure as a re-
suit of their efforts to maintain an ar
tificial price on the necessities of life.
The inability further to uphold this
price is said TO be due to a combina-
ton of circumstances, chief of which
are the open winter of 1911 and the
banner crops of 1910.
Three commission men failed last
week as a result of holding great
quantities of butter, which they pur-
chased at an average price of 81 cents
a pound and now are unable to market
for more than q or 28 cents a pound.
While the wholesale prices of butter
and eggs have dropped decidedly with
in the last few weeks, there has as yet,
been no decline in the retail prices.
Much of the produce which now is
to be unloaded on falling market has
been in the warehouse for as long as
/ five years. By means of cold storage,
commission men have been able to
maintain an artificial price not only to
the consumer, but to the producer, it
is said.
No public warehouse report is ever
made here and the exact amount of
produce in the hands of Chicago firms
cannot be estimated Thirty-two ware
houses are known to have 44,000,000
pounds of butter, eggs and poultry.
Men familiar with the market con-
dition today said it would be impos-
sible to say whether that figure rep
resented nearly the total or whether
it was only small percentage of the
entire amount.
The increased sale of oleomargarine
lis given as an added cause for the sit
uation, the commission men now find
themselves facing. Thousands of con-
sumers unable to pay the price at
which butter has been held have be-
come users of oleomargarine
Butter is cents a pound lower
Wholesale than it was a year ago, and
is selling at the lowest figure in five
years. An indication of the decline in
the last ten days is shown in the fol-
lowing:
January Eggs, "a cents; prime,
80 cents; firsts, 80 cents.
January 15-Eggs, fresh, 33 cents;
prime, %; firsts, 2S.
January 5-Butter, extra creamery,
20 cents; firsts, 2515; dairy, %.
January 15-Butter, extra creamy,
q cents; firsts, %, dairy, %.
The wholesale price on smoked
meats, beef and pork has been slightly
reduced in price. The big corn crop
of 1910, is given as the cause.

Washinton. D G., Jan. a. = The
Washinton Times sees in Senator
Owen of Oklahoma, the future minor
ity leader; very possibly the leader OF
a prospective democratic majergity in
the United States senate
Senator Owens rise in the senate
during the last year has been one Of
the political phenomena OF the sea
son. AS the only progressive on the
democratic side Of the chamber with
qualities OF leadership. the impending
struggle with Senator Bailey for the
leadership OF the democratic party
seems only a question Of time, and the
day seems no distant one at that
Recent utterances by Senator owen
both in and out of the senate cham
ber show the Muskogean to be any
thing but a partisan He has taken
a bold stand against anw reapportion-
ment Of Oklahoma that will give the
G. o. p an unfair representation in
congress Senator owen takes the
position that the only parties on as
close a footing as possible in the new
districts shortly to be created. In no
other way, he says. can the real wishes
of the people be ascertained at cleo
tions
The Times article. which is from the
pen OF Judson G. Welliyer. the we'll
known magazine writer and publicist.
is as follows:
Always down under TIE surface, the
preliminary tests in great contest
for the leadership of the democratic
side of the senate are being carried on,
in series of highly interesting
maneuyers.
Democratic leadership has had
curious experience in recent time. Sen
ator Culberson of Texas, was leader
till ill-health and inability regularly to
attend to the arduous duties, COMPEL
ed him to retire from the watch tower
Senator Money of Mississippi, was Sc
lected by the caucus to succeed him
He Is shortly to retire from the SEN
ate.
with the democrats hopeful of
senate majority soon, what is now the
minority leadership may soon become
one of the most powerful positions in
the government. Small wonder If am
bilious statemen look with avid eye to
the possibility OF one day welding
even fraction of the power which
Aldrich has held during the long period
of his domination
Just as new republicans come, like
LaFollette and Cummins, and have
the temerity to aspire to republican
leadership, so there is intimation that
some democrats of comparatively short
service have like aspirations on their
side. Among these, Senator Owen of
Oklahoma, has been brought into the
spotlight by his coup In introducing
resolution to unseat Senator Lormer
This bold bid for commanding posi-
tion on an issue which now promises
to be the most absorbing before the
senate for a long time has compelled
the attention to the possibilities of the
Oklahoman.
For one thing. it Is accounted that
Owen has nerve enough and brains en-
ough to emaneipate himself from what
may be called the terror of the BaiIy |
intellect, Senator Bailey does not re-
quire any badge of Office to be lead /
er. His knowledge of law, his knowl- |
edge of tactics, his constitutional |
erudition, is intimacy with legislative
methods and his leng experience, to-
gether with his remarkable powers as
orator and advocate have given him a

BRAKEMAN DUGAN'
IS EX0NERATED

Jamestown Alert: 1t will be re-
membered that a young man named
Heath, who, with companion, was
stealing a ride on an eastbound
freight train, met his death near Bis
marck by an accidental fall from the
train and suit was brought against
the company for damages by the faith
err of the boy, who resides in Mime
apolis.
It was stated in the papers at the
time that Brakeman Dugan appeared
at the trial and testified that he had
asked the boys for money, and failing
to receive it ordered them OH the
train which was running at a high
rate of speed, and young Heath
jumped and lost his life; that this
action on the part of the brakeman
made the company liable for dam
ages.
It ia learned that this statement re-
earding Brakeman Dugan's attempt to
'hold up" the Heath boy is absolute
w untrue. One of the attorneys IN
the case states that Dugan did not so
testify at tho trial, and there was no
evidence to show that he attempted
in any way to hold up the boys for
money, but advised them that they
could no ride in. Refrigerator car,
where they were first discovered, ana
told them they must get out.
A good many people may nave oeen
under the impression that Mr.. Dugan
undertook to extort money from boys
but this is not correct and the facts
ara made public in justice to him. ne

tho last four years, and. as far as
known, is held in good esteem oy MS
employers and his friends generally'
and the clearing up OF this cnaree
against him will be gratifying to MS
friends, as we'll as the company.
