Cribben's eyes widened, as though
he had suddenly encountered forged

elusive frown, and then sank back
in his chair, his manner more hope
less than before; for time had graved
the one word Business on his brow;
trifling naturalness had been stamped
out of his character by the little punch
with which he had Cancelled checks

temporary barricade about the safe.
Poe crouched down and swung the
big outer door open, SO that the small
drilled hole could be seen in a better
light.
"Clever!" he exclaimed to the
cashier. ''The fellow studied this lock

AT THE THEATRES
PALACE.

Daring to the point Of extreme as
a social problem play and In con-
struCtiOn of the plot is this latest pro-
duction of Thomas Ince, THE Dark
cning Trail" which is showing at the
Palace today for the last time, Will
lam S. Hart plays the leading role,
that of Yukon Ed, though the depth
of the play permits several roles that
are Of Commanding worth aside of the
very high standard set of Hart.
The first part Of this production is
Of pronounced interest for the fact
that lnce, in its construction, has seen
fit to raise up at least three strong
characters simply to serve as an in
PRODUCTION to the play and an insight
to the final plot.
It is a social problem story dealing
with the old, old subject of the morals,
or rather the immOrals, Of man and
the consequent suffering OF woman;
but It is told i'm a startling manner
with a final scene that is positively
blood-stirring.
The settings are on the Pacific slope
during the rainy season. People who
have lived on the coast will find oc-
casion for the renewing Of memories
Of the days when it rains at early
morn. once again at noon and then
at night for tull measure.
The settings are followed out in
great detail making # this picture
one that will rank along with the

CAESAR DID 1T.

When julius Caesar Invaded
Gaul and was in their midst
amid them he went right along
building good roads. that's what
old Caesar did. The Caesarian
roads are standing today They
constitute a system Of highways
which have been the admiration
and the wonder Of the world for
centuries. The necessity for good
roads is greater today than II was
in Caesars time, or than it was
IN the time of Thomas Jefferson
who advocated a governmental
appropriation for roads from
Washington to Charleston S. c.
on the ground that the improve
ment of the highways would ex-
pedite the delivery of the mails
at least two days! A boulevard
in Tulsa would increase the
value of every foot Of property
In the city, whether located di-
rectly ON the route Of the boule-
ward or not A man who votes
against boulevard bonds ought to
be made to take a trip in an OK
cart through the interior OF
Mexico.

CLARK AND MAJOR
BUILD GOOD ROADS

KANSAS CITY, June 15,-Farmers
In western Missouri were too busy
taking advantage of bright sunshine
succeeding many days of rain to give
much thought to Governor Majors
appeal to work and to make up for
the many idle days the recent un-
precedented rains had brought. AS a
result good roads day was not gener-
ally observed in this section of the
state.
Governor Major was the only state
official who was active in road work.
With an automobile truck, six wagons
and a squad Of convicts from the state
penitentiary the governor worked the
roadways near jefferson City. one Of
the highways on which the governors
gang" was engaged was that over
which the chief executive rides to his
golf course.
Governor Major was assisted by
Speaker Champ Clark Of the national
house of representatives,.

MAJESTIC.

If popular opinion has any weight
then "Wormwood," which closes at the
Majestic tonight, is the most powerful
drama of its particular type ever pre-
sented at a local theatre. There is no
-0~'icular spot in the entire five reels
that can be culogized for every scene
of the story is filled with vivid, in
tense action.
The cast is perfect; finer acting was
never witnessed anywhere and with
the clear photography and intelligent
direction which always characterizes
Fox features, "Wormwood" is all that
was promised and little bit more. 1t
is wonderfully gripping and realistic.
Tomorrow comes a story OF the
great north woods. a ed-blooded tale
Of frozen world, where men revert TO
the primitive and fight for what they
want with fis:icuffs and bullets. THE

Explains Stand.
100000 IS NECESSARY
Has No Apologies to Offer
for Acts in Past; Would

"In concluding the park board
wishes to state frankly that they
welcome ana have encouraged the
appointment Of a bond commission to
supervise the expenditure of the park
and boulevard funds we are asking
for" said Newton r. Graham yes
terday speaking for the board.
THE board accepts the fun respon-
sibility for asking for this issue-nO
other department of the city govern
ment was consulted, and We must say
to the public now that we earnestly
believe these improvements necessary
in the buildinF of Tulsa.
The board serves without pay and
does not desire any. The parks have
always been the orphan child of the
city government - at all times our
maintenance funds are low. This has
caused the board considerable work
and thought We accepted our ap-
pointments, though, in the spirit they
were given and have earnestly
striven to account well for the trust
imposed i'm us

I'VE believe that men who are trys
ing to stop the development of Tulsa
park system 10y causing class feeling,
are injurinE both the working man
and the man of wealth, and especially
the working man. Careful investiga-
tion, not only in Tulsa but in many
cities Of America, show that the work
ing people are the people who benefit
mostly in pleasure from the park
systems, for it has been shown that
the rich man can have expensive
flowers and play equipment in his
own yard while the man Of average
means must look to the city park de-

No Great Stroke on Western
Front Looked for Now.
Italians Consolidate Positions
Won Along Isonzo River.

London, June 26.-With a breathleSs
expectancy, which seems to be reflect
ed in the pause at the present moment
on both battle fronts on the continent.
the British public is awaiting the next
move on the European chessboard.
1t is conceded that this move is Ger
manys and that it may be made
against either Warsaw, Paris or Calais.
Germany activity has been reported
in the Argonne, which may indicate
the closing of the Belgian frontier may
mean the transfer of veterans from
the eastern front for another attempt
to break through to the English chan
mel
Many persons believe, however, that
no great offensive movement will be
attempted along the western front
until another effort has been made to
reach Warsaw, against which position
the Germans are said to be bringing
big guns from Essen. No great activ-
ity is to be noted along any of the
minor fronts.
The Italians claim to be engaged in
consolidating the positions they have
won along the river Isonzo, while
from the Dardanelles come reports of
enormous losses suffered by the Turks
in defending the peninsula from the
attack of the allies.
The question of munitions still is
absorbing public attention in England.
The house of commons has been as
sured by Walter Runciman, president
of the board of trade, that Great Brit
ain has sufficient high explosives for
her own use and that she need have
no concern over her food supplies, but
that the requirements for shells are
still acute.

U. S. SERBIANS IN PANIC
Recruits Held Up for Inquiry at Chi
cago Imagine German Attack.

Chicago, June 26.-Seven coaches
containing about 500 Serbians who are
said to be on their way to Europe to
join the army were stopped in the rail-
road yards by federal officials last
night. The cars We're cut out of the
train. and the federal inspectors ques-
toned the passengers through inter
prefers.
When a score of deputy United
States marshals boarded the train the
Serbians thought they We're being at
tackled by German spies Some one
shouted that the coaches were about
to be blown up. The passengers
crowded into the vestibule and a riot
call was sent into police headqua rters.
When two patrol wagon loads of Of
ficers arrived it was found necessary
to handcuff some of the ring leaders
before the disturbance could be quiet
ed. Then the deputies took short
statements from each of the Serbians.
The men for the most part answer
ed that they had been told they were
wanted in their native land and that
they would have free transportation
to their former homes and a few
weeks to visit relatives before being
asked to enlist.

favor of United States intervention.
The people want the United States to
take control Of the government so that
the farming, mining and other indus
tries may be re-established.
THE Carranza officers generally
favor intervention as well as the ma
jority of the soldiers.
There is no law in Mexico. The
only crime is to have money and that
is punishable by death. Levies are
made against members of opposing
factions for money, and when they
have none left they are shot.
1.-THE condition in Mexico City is
serious. There has been no train out
of the city in five months. 1t is next
to impossible to get in supplies. The
rama holds the seaport and doesn't
want any supplies to go in.
Beans, which are the staff Of life
in Mexico, are just about exhausted.
The people of Mexico City eat cakes
made of corn.
''rhe merchants control the corn
and give it out to corn line that
forms at o'clock in the morning and
tween 1900 and 10000 persons are
in line each day
"a prominent physician in Mexico
City for several weeks took samples
of the cheaper corn bread that can be
bought and he found that so per cent
of it was sawdust.
Food Scarce and Poor.
1.-The food IN Mexico is not only
scarce but of poor quality. 1t is hard
to get vegetables and the meat is poor.
They are selling a great deal of dog
and horse meat in Mexico City, and
the lowest class of Mexicans has al
ways eaten cats. They sell rats in
some places in Mexico.
When Obregon was driven out of
Mexico City he turned 800 smallpox
patients into the city as stroke of
vengeance. The result was not what
he expected, but nevertheless there is
much disease in the city.
1.-THE sanitary conditions are awful
in Tampico, and there is little water
for drinking purposes. 1 counted
seven or eight dead mules in a canal
that runs through the town. There is
all kinds of fever-yellow. malaria,
typhoid, and numerous cases of small
pox.
"Carranza has gun boat in the
river and for that reason Villa has not
been able take the town although he
wants it. There are little oil towns
around Tampico that have changed
hands often.
Eight foreigners were killed in
Tampico not long before I left. They
were not murdered, but they were
killed by bullets that were shot into
houses and at random.
while the people in Mexico City
are going hungry every boat that
| leaves Vera Cruz is laden with corn
or beans and the value comes back in
ammunition.
THE boat we went down on from
New York-Ward Hne-took one and
one-half days in offloading ammuni-
ton. Ammunition is going in to Villa
all the time over the border. There
are many women fighting in Mexico
both in mems and womens clothes"
