up the Philippine question. He said
he must be accused of reviving a dead
issuse, but the issue could hardly be
regarded as dead as long as the dem

COUNTY ATTORNEY
CONTESTS ACTION
Granting Of Absolute Pardon to For.
mer Chief Of Police is Great Dis
appointment to Shawnee.

Shawnee, Okla, Sept % - While
not unexpected because Of a previous
announcement by the acting governor,
the granting Of an absolute pardon to
former Chief of Police Bill" Sims, was
a bitter disappointment to the prohibi-
tion element of Shawnee. The action
was vigorously contested by County
Attorney Holt.
While the Sims case is an echo Of
the famous Bulgin special grand jury
of three years ago, the evidence upon
which Sims was convicted and sen
fenced TO serve a term of five years
in the penitentiary had no dependable
connection with the sensational bood-
ling convictions and the ousting from
Office of high county officials no evi-
dence heing adduced TO connect him
with the noted $4,000 per month fund
for the protectio nof bootleggers, which
was clearly and positively established
by contributors, Though firmly es-
tablished, the prosecution by Attor-
ney General West failed to locate the
distribution of more than $500 of
this fund.
A peculiar feature of the discharge
of Sims is that p E. Noll, a pioneer
citizen of Shawnee, known as the
watchdog of the city treasury" while
on the council, although called upon
to remove some of the official cuticle
of the the nchief Of police, was most
active and largely instrumental in Sc
curing clemency for him in Oklahoma

Pittsburg County Baptist association
closed a three days session here Fri

lows:
Resolved, that as an association,
we deplore and condemn the action OF

AUTO PARADE A FEATURE
OF OZARK EXPOSITION

Joplin, Mo, Sept. 22.-Parades ga
lore will be presented during the Ozark
Interstate Exposition in Joplin Oc-
tober Z to 16. Secretary H. A. Fork
ner of the committee in charge has
been given assurance by the Automo-
bile Club that an auto parade, far in
excess of anything of it's kind ever
held in the district, may be added to
the list and that the club will take a
position behind the movement and
push until its success is guaranteed.
A procession of four hundred auto
mobiles is not unlikely as a result of
the committees efforts, aided by the
club. More than two hundred owners
of machines have furnished informa-
tion to Mr. Forkner that they will en-
ter for some of the cash prizes. at the
same time to be there for the purpose
of assisting in entertaining the visi-
tors to the exposition.
Mr. Farther personally visited many
auto owners yesterday inquiring as
to whether a motor car parade might
be held. He was informed that every
outoist in the district would be request
ed to enter his car in the procession
and that it will be one of the feature
attractions of the big exposition.
Along with the auto parade will be
the industrial pageant and labor and
fraternal parade. These particular
features were planned following a de-
cision to abandon the auto flower pa
rade, similar to the one produced last
year. 1t was the contention of the
fair promoters that an tuto flower pa
rade can not be made the success de-
sired, owing to the fact that the ma
chimes can not be operated slow en-
ough to permit of the spectators salts
factorily inspection the decorations.
With the abandonment of this idea.
however, the exposition program is
given great boost by the arrange
ments for the industrial, fraternal and
motor car parades Just what decor
ations the motorists will have on their
cars, however, will not be announced
until shortly before the dates of the
fair, as it shall be optional with them.
Notwithstanding this fact cash
awards for the prize cars will be given.
Also prizes will be given in each of
the other pageants.
Special attractions are daily being
added to the exposition program and
booth space is selling rapidly, guaran-
teeing the most valuable and inter
esting collection of exhibits ever dis
played in the middle west.

Rosh Hashanah, or New Years day,
the most solemn day of the Jewish cal
endar next to Yom Kippur or the Day
