Of Chickasha, president of the asso-
citation; l.. II. Phillips of Bartlesville,
vice president, and II. A. McCauley of
Sapulpa, chairman of the executive
committee. They were instructed to
agree on a successor to Harrison and
report to the executive committee.
Accordingly the committee is said
to have agreed upon Thomas, and
when the executive committee is
called together again the contract
with him will be made, provided the
selection meets with the approval Of
the members of the executive COM
mittee. Thomas is said to be well
qualified to fill the place. He has
had experience in a clerical capacity
and although his time has expired as
state senator from the Lawton district
he will still sit if an extra session
is called, if 1t is held before he takes
the new place. Senator Thomas has
been threatening to run for governor
or United States senator. but the
$4,000 a year Job will probably put
him on the shelf for awhile.

pare for trial i'm the near future. lie
believes that he will clear himself of
the charges contained in the accusa-
tion and in the meantime will be con-
tent to become a private citizen.
1t is probably that some action will
be taken by the city commissioners
this forenoon with reference to the APP
pointment of a temporary head for the
police department, pending the out
come of the Burns case.
Several Warrants Today.
The grand jury returned total Of
"a indictments yesterday. 1t was their
first report since they began their
deliberations. The district clerks Of
flee was busy all afternoon preparing
the warrants but they will not be
turned over to the sheriff's office for

tnOuSnt lndl AL OF lhtm are against
bootleggers and gamblers, thus dis
pelling the reports that other officials
than Chief Burns are affected.
The grand jury adjourned until next
Wednesday. Attorney General Free
ling and his assistants left last night
for Oklahoma City, where they will
prepare to take up the railroad rate

When the grand jury reconvenes 1t

torney John Woodard with assault
with intent to kill, Will not come be-
fore the grand jury, it became known
yesterday, for the reason that Wood

in his scuffle with Sanderson several
weeks ago. None of the other cases to
be considered next week are of more
than passing Importance and cOnsti-
tute the usual routine criminal prose-
cutions usually disposed of in the
lower courts of the county.
The accusation against Chief Burns
charges him with malfeasance in of
flee, in that he permitted bootlegging
and gambling Joints to run and con-
doned an alleged license system"
under protection of which houses of
i'll fame have operated.

\ FOOL AND HIS MONEY.
New NOrk's Craze for Dancin9-As
Seen by "A Crook

An amazing and startling story en-
titled "A Fool and His Money" ap-
pears in the November American
Magazine. The story relates the con-
fessiOns of a 60-year-O.d crook who
has earned a dishonest but comfort
able living for thirty years. Follow
ing is an extract from what this man
has to say regarding the dancing
craze of New York city:
How many hundreds of tango par
lors there are in New York it would
be hard to tell Offhand but it is suf-
ficient to say that even some of the
most old-fashioned hotels have had
to meet the craze for dancing Mid
dle-aged and old men and women,
who had been content with evenings
at their clubs or at home with best
seller novels, or at the theater three
years ago, dance every afternoon and
night going from one place to the
other, seeking change of music ana
surroundings and worshipping at the
feet of the latest professionals who
have achieved fame.
Few wc,l-to-dO or fairly well-to-do
men know with whom their wives are
tangoing or foX-trotting, and few
wives are wise to what their hus-
bands are up to. In the best of the
dance places provision is made for
partners, so that there is no longer
the tragedy of the wallflower. AS
there is generally "A surplus Of women
patrons the dance parlor managers
employ we'll dressed and skilled young
men to meet this situation. For the
sake of the thrill they get from the
modern and sensuous dances. many
women, some of them of the richest
and best families, trust themse YES
to the arms of utter strangers and
it is there that the gentlemen of the
underworld are today enjoying an ad-
vantage they have never before en-
joyed. The dance has let down the
bars"
