ney Suggs was in Tulsa last Tuesday
and attended the business mems noon
lay luncheon He was the only speak.
er Of the occasion and the Evening
sun of Tulsa gives the following ac-
count of the luncheon and of Mr..
Suggs' talk:
Today's MONDAY luncheon was one
of the most enjoyable of the many
weekly events staged in the Hotel
Tulsa grill room. 1t was unique in
that the program was foreign to any
thing yet arranged by the luncheon
committee. 1t struck popular
chord, and similar programs in the
future will bring capacity crowds to
the already well-attended meetings.
The excellent eight-piece orchestra
from the Empress theater furnished
the principal part of the program, and
their rendition of the difficult orches-
tral piece, The Hunting Scene" was
a decided hit Several other selec-
tions were rendered by the capable
band of musicians under the direction
of Jack Street.
The Burbanks, a refined vaudeville
team, playing this week at the Cozy
theater, entertained the banqueters
with a pleasing piano and singing act.
Their efforts met with the hearty ap-
plause of their listeners.
The entire entertainment was fur
nished by William Smith, the popular
manager and owner of the Empress
theater and the luncheon committee
expressed themselves as being well
pleased with his selection Of the
furnished He was loudly |
applauded by the crowds.

the Commercial club, acted as toast
master and the only talk on the pro-
gram was made by Col. Sidney Suggs

sioner. Mr., Suggs was one of the
prominent men of the state who
fought Tulsas battle before the U. S.
Goods Roads association meeting in
st. Louis, that resulted in bringing the
1914 meeting to Tulsa. Mr. Suggs CON
fined his remarks strictly to good
roads.
Colonel Suggs gave one Of the best
short talks ever heard on the subject
of good roads. He gave details of
some of the big meetings that he has
attended in some Of the largest cities
He also said that in all his travels
and visits to other cities he never saw
a town that seemed to have more pub
lie spirit than the people of Tulsa
had already manifested toward the
big convention of the United States
Good Roads association that is to be
held here next year
He closed his speech by offering
his services in any way possible where
by the great convention could be made
the largest and most successful ever
held in the United States.

URGE REMOVAL OF
WILLIAM GEORGE

New York, Dec. 1S.-The removal Of
William r. Reorge from active partici-
patton in the affairs of the George
Junior Republic, which was founded
by him at Freeport, New York, over
ten years ago, is recommended by the
state board of charities today, on ac-
count of his alleged moral miscon.
duct.
1t is expected that George will re-
sign from the directorate of the ma
tional movement of such republic. The
charges of loose living are made by
three young women, the oldest dating
back to 1904, and the most recent
several years old. THE testimony is
unprintable," the committees lawyer,
H. A. Wise, said, "the character of
the principals in these charges would
make it impossible to prove the
charges by their unsupported testi-
mony. 1t is my opinion that no court
of law would accept the unsupported
word of these three girls involving
the conduct OF a man like George"
Georges counsel are indignant, say
ing that only three witnesses against
George have been heard.
The republic has 124 members. Of
them 81 are girls. None are admitted
under IA years, and the average age
is II. The board has recommended
that the girls be removed from the in
stitution Immediately.
