Fl I Y
Govern m emf Played By
Women OF oklahoma
Town

Muskogee, Okla, Jan. 25--Astonish-
ed at the familiarity with civic prob
lens and procedure displayed by a
number of women who appeared before
the mayor and board of city commits
sioners, some of the latter, after a
quiet investigation, have discovered
that there is duplicate city govern
ment in Muskogee composed entirely
of women.
These women have made not only a
study Of civic problems but the meth
DDS OF getting action when they de-
mand it. They have demanded GER
tain things of the city government and
got them. 1t was the skill they dis
played in evading the usual obstacles
which such matters encounter that as.
tonished the city commissioners.
This woman's duplicate government
is composed of the members of the
Logan Parliamentary Club, organized
in Muskogee few years ago by Mrs.
George B. Longan of Kansas City. The
club has devoted itself to parliament
tary studies. The effect is being felt
Even the children of these women
have now a well organized parliamen-
tary club of their own.
When Muskogee adopted the com
mission form of government and elect
ed a mayor and commissioners, the
Longan Parliamentary club, formed in
their own ranks a duplicate organi-
zation. Mrs. G. M. Swanson is may
or, Mrs. R. d. Long is chief of police,
Mrs. G. o. Claiborn is assistant chief.
There is woman holding each of
the several offices provided in the
charter of the city for the real govern
ment. When civic question arises in
the city it is discussed from every
angle by the women commissioners
and mayor as seriously as If their
votes determined the question. In this
way the women have acquired their
surprising knowledge of city govern
ment and good idea of what politics
really is as well.
This woman's council has regular
meeting the first Monday in each
month and special meetings as occa-
sion arises. The woman city engineer
makes elaborate reports and recon-
mendations on plans for street and
park improvements, while the chief
Of police is active in seeking new
methods to obtain higher moral tone
for the city.
The woman mayor is the wife of the
chairman of the board of county COM
missioners and the woman chief of po-
lice is the wife of the manager of the

chants National Bank, of Mt. Vernon,
now a resident of Cleveland, engaged
in a most thrilling fistic encounter
IN the Office of Attorney Lot c. Still
well late Wednesday afternoon.
AS far as the fistic end of the affair
was concerned is was all one-sided for
Mr.. Byrns was the victor in one, short
round.
The incidents leading up to the ex-
citing scene are as follows according
to the story related by Mr.. Byrns
to Banner representatives:
At the time of the failure Of the
Walhonding Bank, one of the institu-
tions organized by Solomon, there was
due the then Farmers & Merchants
National Bank of Mt. Vernon the sum
of $500. Mr.. Byrns claims that Sol
omon in order to avoid paying this
amount stated to the officials of the
Walhonding bank that the figures on
the books of the Farmers & Merchants
National Bank were incorrect ana tnat
Mr.. Byrns had SO juggled the figures
to make it appear that the Walhond-
ing bank was in debt to the Mt Yer
non bank in the sum of $4,000.
After the Farmers G. Merchants
Bank had gone out of existence, ac-
cording to the statements of Mr..
Byrns, Mr.. Solomon told in Columbus
Cashier Byrns was responsible for the
condition of affairs at the Mt. Vernon
bank and that 1t was through his error
and mismanagement that the bank
was forced to liquidate.
Some months ago Mr.. Byrns left Mt
Vernon and since that time has been

BURNS
Each Week 20 Cars OF Fuel
Petroleum

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 25-This city Is
a heavy consumer of fuel oil. The av-
erage weekly consumption Is over $780,.
600 gallons or about 20 cars Wich-
ita's supply of fuel oil comes from the
eastern Kansas oil fields and is ship
ped in tank cars ranging in capacity
from 80 to 210 barrels per car.
The oil is used in many stores,
houses and rooming houses for heat
ing purposes; and by the packing
houses. factories, and most of the mills
to produce heat and power Oil burn
ers have recently been installed in
the New Crawford and Princess
theatres, in the county Jail, the court
house, the Forum the Hamilton hotel
and the building of the Johnston &
Larimer Dry Goods Company and var
ious other institutions. Nearly all the
burners in these buildings are pres
sure spray oil burners.
The retail price of distillate oil de-
livered from tank wagons to the con-
sumer is about 8 1-2 cents per gallon.
The price of the heavy fuel oil IS about
2 IA cents per gallon, but by purt..as-
ing it by the car load the heavy users
get it cheaper
AS to heat and power producing pur-
poses, it is estimated that in small
plants 100 gallons of fuel oil are equal
to about $4,000 feet of natural gas.
Assuming that the 100 gallons of oil
cost $2.25 and the gas cost at the rate
of Is cents thousand feet or $3.50
for the $4,000 feet, there is saving
of 25 cents in favor of the oil.

with a firm OF expert accountants of
Cleveland. His business is such that
It carries him all over the state of
Ohio and especially has he been In
touch with many of the banking insti-
tutions of the state. Mr. Byrns states
that in several places where he has
been the story has come to him that
Solomon was still talking about him
and saying that he was to blame for
the closing Of the Farmers e. Mer-
chants National Bank.
MIR. Byrns arrived in the city We'd
nesday afternoon from Cleveland for
the purpose of remaining several days
on business and visiting with friends.
Shortly after his arrival, Mr. Byrns
also learned that Mr.. Solomon was
spending the day in Mt. Vernon. Late
in the afternoon Mr.. Byrns went to
the Office of Lot G. Stillwell where Mr..
Solomon was engaged in conversation
with the attorney and another man,
who happened to be in the Office at the
time.
Solomon greeted Byrns in rather
friendly manner when the latter en-
tered the office.
"I understand you have been talking
about me lately" exclaimed Mr.. Byrns
to Solomon!
you are liar" said Solomon. U.s.
ing two words before the "liar" not
permitted in print.
"You got $4,000 of my money" said
Byrns.
Again Solomon responded with the
same epithet as above.
Byrns again made some remark rel.
ative to some of Solomon's statements
and the third time the latter replied
with his favorite liar" expression and
jumping from his chair attempted to
strike Byrns in the face.
Byrns lodged the blow and then
started towards his antagonist. The
first blow Byrns struck was a straight
jab which landed ON Solomon's left
eye. This knocked him against the
safe, but he got up and advanced to-
wards Byrns. Again the latter swung
and struck Solomon in the other eye
In an instant Byrns was upon Solom.
on and the blows fell thick and fast
In some manner Byrn's ring caught
Solomon on the side of the cheek and
a cash was cut from his mouth nearly
to his ear. At this point Byrns got
hold of Solomon in such manner that
he was holding him down with one
hand and punching him in the face
with the other fist. Spectators in the
office then interferred and the encoun
ter was brought to close.
Byrns came out of the fray without
mark or scratch, while both of Sol
omon's eyes were blackened and the
blood was flowing from the wound
in his cheek.
After his injuries had been given
attention, Solomon returned to his
home in Columbus on an evening
train. Fearing that Byrns would again
attack him he asked Chief of Police
Clements to accompany him to the
Pennsylvania station.
