 Judge Lawler ordered Ruefs return to prison when he failed to take the stand and testify for the State in the trial of Schmitz on charge of br.bing a supervisor in connection with a gas ordinance some years ago.
 Judge Lawler said there was no evil dcnce to convict Schmitz and ordered the jury to return a verdict of ac- uittal At the same time the court announced that he would later pass on 27 her indictments remaining against Schmitz.

JOHN MITCHELL
 ''STANDS PAT' Assured Immunity for An Apology, He Declines Gompers and Morrison Take Same View of Situation
 Mitchell s Reasons
Especial from United Press

Washington. March 6-Declining to accept what Justice Wright intimated might be immunity from further pro- ceedings in the renewed Bucks Stove and Range Company contempt case, if he apologized for past actions, Vice President John Mitchell of the Fedora ton of Labor today stood pat on his testimony.
 II would feel more contentment if convicted, conscious of the rectitude of my course and the truthfulness of my evidence, than if acquitted on any other grounds than the facts as they have been presented and the law as it has beer enunciated by the higher tribunal" he said. in a letter to Jus tice Wright.
 The three labor leaders-Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison-have made virtually the same answer to Justice Wright's invitation. Final hearing of their cases will begin next week. The Supreme Court of the United States freed them from jail sentences for contempt but Justice Wright reopened the matter.

the shallow field around Nowata has
been highly profitable to the original
producers because drilling was cheap
and production large during the early
days OF the wells, and thus the capt
tai involved was quickly returned with
splendid profits The value of these
shallow properties is quite another

There are two problems in baseball
which annually come up for discussion
at this season of the year. One con-
Germs the training trip. with its ad-
yantages and disadvantages; the other
involves the length Of the playing sea-
son.
"The training trip as 1t is at present
g both an innovation Of new baseball
ana q relic of former decades. 1t is an
admirable theory. but viewed from a
practical standpoint, has many defects.
1T is easy to say that disOrgan-
lied group Of players must be whipped
into shape to give the public a major
league brand of baseball from the very
start Of the season. And there is OBJ
Z-iousIv no way to do this except Icy
compelling the players to put In a

to the south, with its sunny weather,
where the pitchers may get their mus

nous davs of midseasOn. All, this Is
v-eII enough in itself, but the players
emerge from their sojourn in this sum-
11ar climate back into the unsettled
snring weather in the northern states,
where they are, subjected to all kinds
