Mayors and other officials Of TWEEN
ty-five oklahoma cities and towns

anything, In spite OF the fact that
their play was "A huge gamble with
fate.
All this transpired yesterday after

enjoying three days session here,
visited Sand Springs, Tulsa's we'll
known suburb on the west and were
treated to a curious diversion in the
shape of an amusement device known
as the human roulette wheel a
contriyance patterned after the
gambling device but on a much larg-
er scale.
Otherwise naughty and self-con-
scious executives sprawled all over the
slippery surface of the wheel" and
were ruthlessly flung in all directions
when the contrivance began to make
some hundred revolutions a minute,
The sport was greatly enjoyed and
the delegates spent nearly a half hour
in wrestling with each other on the
whirling wheel.
All of the afternoon was spent by
the delegates in viewig the various In
stitutions at Sand Springs, The or
phanage was thoroughly inspected as
well as all the various factories, elec-
tric light and water plants
The delegates also visited the Tulsa
water works plant.
Yesterday morning an interesting
business session was held at the Com
mercial club rooms. Papers were
read by Mayor Hanratty of McAlester
and others, and a general discussion
on matters of taxation and municipal
ownership was INDUCED in.
At noon the delegates sat down to
a luncheon in the Commercial club

MARKETS
Cotton in Slight Advance.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The cotton
market was less active today, and af-
ter making a new low records at the
opening rallied on covering of shorts
and some fresh buying for long ac-
counts. The close was steady at a
net advance Of 6@10 points.
The opening was steady at a net
decline Of 245 points on active
months In response to lower cables
ard a continuation of yesterday s
selling movements. January contracts
sold at 500 on the call and whether
the break to the SIP cent level was
the signal for general covering
movement, or whether some of the
recent large sales here was disap-
pointed at the government figures had
not caused greater weakness abroad,
the market soon showed a disposition
to rally on heavy covering, buying by
foreign trade houses and a moderate
demand from reactionists who ap-
peared to feel that the government
report had been discounted and that
pre-holiday covering might cause an
upward turn by Christmas.
The selling had the influence of
checking the decline but the bulls
were not aggressive and the market
reached the best point in late trading
when active months sold 3 to IL
points higher, or some IL to IA points
above the early low levels. Business
was quiet active at the start and again
late in the afternoon but the market
was comparatively quiet, during the
middle Of the day and 1t looked as II
yesterdays government report had
failed to stimulate any fresh specula-
tive interest of consequence.
Receipts today at all ports $4,000,
against 1921 last year. At New
Orleans 1850 against 1870 last
year; at Galveston 41,SO7 against

vIERBO, June 9.-simonetti, a po-
lice official. was called as a witness to-
day in the trial of the Camorrists for
the murder of Gennaro Cuoccolo and his
wife to tell what he knew of the GRIM
NAL organization.
The witness said the classical" Cam
ORA no longer existed. The Camorrists
of the present day he described as SIM
ply groups of criminals who blackmailed
thieves, getting from the latter stolen
goods for next to nothing. They also
practiced usury. He denied that Genna-
70 Abbatemaggio, the informer, was a
member of the Camorra.
The witness admitted that Enrico Al
fano was at the head of these criminal
gangs, the operations of which he illus
trated by a case in which Alfano was
directly involved. A public singer. ST.
monetti said, had been robbed of jewels
and sought the aid of Alfano in recov-
ering them
The Camorrists took the Jewels from
the cab driver who had stolen and peck
eted a reward of $1,000. Later Alfano
was compelled to engage in pistol
fight with the real thief who wished to
get his share of the reward. Both the
cab driver and Alfano were arrested

MILLIONAIRE KOHL IS
SLIGHTLY IMPROVED NOW
French Maid Says She Don't
Know Why She Ever
Shot Him

SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.--The condi-
ton of c. Frederick Kohl, prominent
capitalist and clubman. who was shot
and dangerous wounded yesterday by
Adele Verge. a French maid. formely in
the employ of Mrs. Kohl, was slightly
improved today, Kohl rested easily last
night, and it is thought he may recov-
err. An effort to locate the bullet lodged
in his breast by x-ray examination will
be made today.
Adele Verge spent the night at the city
prison in incoherent prayers for the re-
covery of her victim. Hysterical and I'M
nerved, she would only say in reply to
questions that she did not know why
she shot Kohl and id not want him to
die, She declared she had bought the
pistol from which the shots were fired,
many months 40, as a protection against
the detective ale says Kohl and Frank
Miller hired to prosecute her.
Kohl is well known throughout easteun
cities because of his financial connections
and Affiliations.
His first wife was Miss Edith Dunlap,
of Philadelphia, who was married 10 him
in 1896, and who died in New York fol-
lowing an operation for appendicitis in
1eG1.

GEORGE URGES CONTROL
OF RAILROADS BY u. S.
Representative Francis OPP
poses Reduction of Duty on
Raw Wool in Speech

WASHINGTON, June 1o-The declara-
lions Of Representative Henry George,
Jr., in favor Of single taxation and the
government ownership of railroads, and
the opposition of Representative Fran
els. OF Ohio. Democrat, TO any reduc-
ton Of the duty on raw wool. were the
features Of today's debate of the Dem
ocratic wool tariff in the house Of rep
resentatives.
Mr.. George followed plea for the tax
alton of the unearned increasein land
values with a statement that he be-
lieved the country ultimately would come
to public ownership of all public utill-
ties. He was asked how the principle of
single taxation OF lands would reach the
great railroad corporations.
The railroads should be treated as
public highways" said Mr.. George. II
believe they should be placed in the
hands OF the public. along with the tele-
graph and telephone. We must have
them in our civilization, and we cannot
have adequate permanent competition
in them.
Adequate taxation OF the idle lands
OF the country, on the other hand, will
break the monopoly of all the great
trusts. Their true control Hes IN the
land they hold and which they force to
lie idle"
Representative FRANCIS, Of Ohio, ia
vored lower duty on manufactured wool
ems, but said a lowering Of the duty on
raw wool would wipe out the sheep in
dustry of the United States
Representative Tribble, of Georgia,
Democrat. favored the pending Demo-
cratic bill to reduce all wool and wooden
duties.
Congressman Samuel ]. Tribble today
took a hand in the debate In the House
in the wool schedule, which is now un-
der consideration.
Congressman William Schley Howard

this is not yet entirely free from the
signs Of paralysis
The senator seems optimistic about
his health. He does not believe thai
the legislature will elect Governor Hoke
