FOTO FOLLY THEATRE
SOON TO BE A FACT.
Contract Let to A. Rouprich-Twenty
FiVe-T thousand Dollar Investment
To Be A Reality.

To say that Philip Foto has conf
dence in the future of this District
is TO state plain facts regarding the
big improvements he is shortly to be-
gin at the corner of NuneZ and Ope-
lOusas Avenue on the piece of property
recently purchased from the Cumber-
land Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany. These lots of ground perhaps
brought the highest price ever paid
in our District for vacant land and
being centrally located they are ideally
situated for the purpose for which
they will be used
The picture shown is an exact re-
production of the water color painting
of the new theatre, the work upon
which will be begun With ma very
short time The architect, Mr.. w. +.
Burke has been busy with these plans
for many months looking into every
detail in connection with the construc-
ton of theatres of this variety.
To look at the photograph above We
must agree with Mr.. FotO that he has
confidence in the future prosperity of
our section and it is up to the Algiers
people to give him that kind of sup
port to keep Mr.. FotO an optimist.
The Foto's Foley Theatre will have
frontage of siXty-two feet with a
depth of one hundred and seventeen
! feet and a seating capacity of one
| thousand two hundred. The patrons
| of this big show house will have the
pleasure of being seated in very latest
opera chairs spaced at distance apart
that will give absolute comfort not
usually found in the ordinary up-to-
date picture show.
Another important feature will be
the high ceiling being more than
thirty feet in height and there will
also be a balcony. The stage which
is also a very important feature in
this building. will have an opening OF
thirty feet making the stage 3Ox62 feet
being the same as that in the Dauphine
Theatre in the City.
Another feature of the building will
be that there will be no distractions
such as large posts, etc, the roof be
ing supported by steel trusses. The
equipment in this theatre will be
modern in every respect being obtain
ed from the best houses in the country
producing this class of goods.

WEIGH IS
SMOKED OUT
BY BARRETT
COMMISSIONER AT BOTTOM
OF INSPIRED ATTACKS ON
INSURANCE LAW

Oklahoma City, Okla, July 22.-For
some weeks past some papers of the
state have ueen carrying a series of
attacks on the merits and operation
of the new insurance law, which pro-
vided for a state insurance commits
sion composed of the present COM
missioner, the state fire marshal and
q secretary appointed by the governor
under the provisions of the bill, and
who at this time is Hon. W. R..
Samuel, formerly banker of Vinita.
These attacks on the law were of a
general, vague and insidious charac-
ter and bore many evidences of per-
sonal malice and bitterness toward
the features of the law which appear
ed at least to take away from the
insurance commissioner some of his
autocratic power and divide it with a
commission. However, it was be-
lieved by large majority of people
whose attention had been called to
the articles, that the paid attorneys
of the companies whose officers did
not like certain provisions of the new
law were responsible for the appear
ance of the articles.
All doubt was dispelled, however,
on Monday, when State Insurance
Commissioner Welch in what purport-
ed to be an authorized interview in an
City republican newspaper
came out and attacked the insurance
law in exactly the same language and
terms used in previous assaults upon
he purposes and integrity of the law.

HOLD AGAINST
TULSA AUTO CLAIM

Oklahoma City, Okla, July 22.--An
opinion by Assistant Attorney General
r. e. Wood to City Attorney Newton
Mcintosh of Checotah knocks out the
contention of Tulsa city authorities
that despite the new highway laws
explicit provisions, cities of the first
class have an inalienable right to tax
automobiles.
In view of this expression, 1t is un-
likely that the attorney generals of
flee will give special opinion to
Highway Commissioner Leecraft on
the Tulsa situation, though Leecraft
asked for advice on the theory that
officials of the oil city we're planning
to attack the validity of the whole
highway law through the medium of
the auto licensing sections.
Tulsa city officials intimated that
they would institute test case
against the law over the arrest of r.
g. Mcguire, a meat salesman, arrest
ed because he wore" a state tag on
his car and refused to pay city
license fee.

London, July 22.-While prayers for
victory are being said throughout
Russia, the Austrians and Germans
continue their drive at Warsaw from
three directions. The general tone of
dispatches from Petrograd show the
country is awake to the grayeness of
the military situation, which not only
invades the Polish capital but also
the integrity of the Russian army in
Poland, as q split at Warsaw will en-
danger the northern and southern
divisions.
The Russians are destroying every
thing of use to the enemy as they
withdraw. Bridges are blown up,
roads destroyed, and the countryside
laid waste with fire and dynamite,

fore them.
All Courland is laid in waste.
