The statement that the state owes

the two items quoted being entirely

that the running expenses OF the state
are up to s1i,000,000 is also declared

With the Cozyitcs.

Today will be the last day of a big
vaudeville program at the CoZy. The
Welsh singers, one of the classiest
singing acts that ever visited Tulsa,
and Leroy and Frankel, comedy sing
ers, takers, dancers and musicians,
comprise the unusual vaudeville offer
ing. The adverse weather conditions
yesterday kept many away from the
Cozy who desired to hear and see
these acts, about which they had
heard so much, therefore, today
should offer them the opportunity to
appease their desire for something
jihgh class In the vaudeville line. New
acts will be seen tomorrow and the
rest of the week.
The usual four reels of up-to-the-
minute motion pictures will be seen
today also. The big feature is an un-
usual picture subject entitled
Through the Air" 1t is one OF those
unusual and matchless productions of
the Imp company. A thrilling race
between an aeroplane and an auto
mobile forms the central portion of
the plot.

The Big SHOW Here Tomorrow.

When the delightful musical eXtray-
aganza, The Top O. tn World" with
Bailey and Austin and siXty-eight
others, comes 10 the Grand theater
tomorrow afternoon for matinee
performance only TO the general pub
lie, the occasion win afford a memo
rable holiday for the youngsters. II
is very doubtful if any attraction now
entour in this country appeals so
strongly to the children. II Is n fu-
rious feast Of fun, hilarious, fast, fun,
but withal, clean fun. There Is not a
single line, movement or situation
which would be calculated to draw
gallery laughs" at the expense of the
feelings of those occupying audito-
rum seats with their wives, sisters,
sweethearts or children. II is a 81
gigantic scenic production, three spe-
cial baggage cars being required for
the transportation of the scenery and
effects and seventy comedians, sing
ers, dancers, chorus girls and musi-
clans making up the grand ensem-
BILE.
The Shriners, who will be gathered
here from all over the state tomorrow,
at the Adkar temple ceremonial, have
purchased the entire house for the
night performance so only seats for
the matinee are being sold TO the pub

The Sultan's Daughter" being a
revised and modern version of the
great musical successA said Pasha, "
will be presented at the Garden the
ater for the last time this afternoon
and tonight. The special matinee this
afternoon is expected to draw a large
crowd, as it will be the first matt
nee at this house under the new scale
of prices. Ten cents will admit any
person to any seat in the house. Cou-
pied with this inducement remains
the fact that the present bill is easily
the most elaborate and altogether
pleasing musical comedy yet pre-
sented by the Garden stock company,
as any of the hundreds Of theatergo-
ers who have visited the house since
Sunday can well testify. Today will
be the first time in the state of Okla
where a company of fifteen people
has presented full two-act musical
comedy at such prices. The matinee
starts at 2:3O o'clock.
Miss Genivieve Hagar, the soubrette
of the company, came near receiving
serious injuries yesterday morning
during the rehearsals of the new bill
which will be presented tomorrow and
the rest of the week. Miss Hagar
came in late and as she turned into
the lobby of the theater on Main
street she slipped on the snow and
fell. She was unable to rise and her
cries finally attracted those inside the
theater, 1t was found that her ankle,
made delicate by much dancing, had
turned slightly, but she was seen N
her usual role in "The Sultan's Daugh-
ter" last night.

The Texas company is running The
oil of the Central Fuel company. This
Is done as "A result Of the decision In
the United states court of appeals
and handed down last week at ST.
Louis While little Information is
given out, the suppostion among the
fraternity is that the contract enter
ed into between the Central Fuel
company and the Texas company,
whereby the Texas company runs the
oil viii have to be carried out, and
the wonder now is why attotY/ys of
the national reputation Of Messrs,
Untermeyer, Marshall & Co.. Of New
York, would make deal so one
sided and so disastrous to the inter-
ests of the Central Fuel company. II
is supposed that the bOndholders who
have invested $6,000O0O will now un-
dertake to get back the money invest
ted, or will look for some other loop
hole to evade the provisions Of the
contract, or what is more likely, will
now undertake to make new con-
traCt which win save the Central
Fuel company from utter ruin as
predicted by the attorneys for that
company during the trial of the case
at Muskogee.
George Priestly is also coming in
for "A great deal of adverse criticism
and his friends are wondering what
defense he may make especially as,
if elected central committeeman for
the republican party, all sorts OF
charges will be brought against him
by the democratic press.
In this connection it is charged
that MIR. Priostly and his friends are
boosting Roosevelt, with the idea that
the big lease on the Usage will he
more easily renewed than under an
other Taft administration. From this
end of the line it appear that there
is no danger of the lease not being
renewed, at least to individuals,
whore development work has been
started. Regarding this latter state
ment there is no division of opinion
and the lease owners can rest as
sured that this matter will be settled
satisfactorily to all concerned.

The hearing in regard to taxing
oil in the ground is set for Thursday
in Sapulpa. 1t behooves owners Of
leases in Creek county TO organize
quickly and put up strong fight to
resist the hearing even being carried
out, for if the assessment is levied
on the property involved it would be
an expensive matter to get it set
aside. In Bartlesville and Washington
counties the producers have Joined in
employing counsel and will fight the
matter from the start. The county
treasurer up there is now sending out
notices to the operators requesting
them to appear before him and show
why the property should not be list
ed in accordance with the peremptory
writ directed to him by the state SUI
preme court on petition of Attorney
General West. Attorney O'Meara will
represent the operators of Bartles-
Vile at this hearing.
