Lyon Refuses A Charter.

Secretary of State j. l.. Lyon filed
in the district court an answer to the
writ of mandamus prayed for by the
State Rural Credit Association seeking
to compel him to issue charter al
lowing the concern to do business in
Oklahoma.
In the answer the secretary Of state
charges that the Iame under which
the company asks for charter would
lead the public to believe that it was a
state institution and the credit of the
state would be loaned thereto in the
deceiving of the people. 1t is set out
that for this reason the issuance of a
charter to the association, is contrary
to lf,~ and not permissible under stat
uteE cs Oklahoma and the state con-
stitutlOh.
It is further claimed that certain
sections of the proposed articles of in
corporation are too broad in scope and
too indefinite as to the powers con-
ferred, to constitute compliance with
the law.
That the charter sought to be filed
authorizes the plaintiff company to act
as guaranty company without giving
bond in the manner prescribed for cor
porations of that character, and to
own and deal in real estate, contrary
to the laws of Oklahoma, is another
part OF the state officials reply.
In addition, Mr. Lyon states in his
answer that article No. Z of the char
ter eXempts the property of the stock
holders from execution for debts con
tracted by the corporation, which is
against the law, and that article No.
clothes them with authority to alter
and amend the bylaws at will, also
illegal under the Oklahoma statute.
Answering further, the secretary Of
state says that ostensibly the plain
tiff company was incorporated under
the laws of Delaware when in trutl
and in fact it was the purpose to only
do business in this state, and tha
therefore it is not permitted to operate
here as a foreign corporation.

Wonderful progress has been made
in the construction of the Oklahoma

charge on the third day of August.
From the downtown business section
the massive framework of the i'm

pleted.
Right now the skeleton part of the
edifice has been advanced to the third
floor, the molds having been placed
Tor the pouring of the concrete in this
section. Saturday the laying of con-

With the completion of the second

Frank NJ. Gault, president of the
state board of agriculture, and Don
Lawhead, secretary, were exonerated
of blame for the publication of libel
Gus article directed against ]. j. Nc
Alester during the primary campaign
In 1914 by jury in the district court.
Judgment for 500 against A. d. Hum
barger, the third of the defendants in
McAlester's suit for $4,000 balm, was
returned at the same time. Only nine
of the twelve jurors signed the YER
dict. This was the smallest number
that could have decided the case.
The defense in the case sprung a
decided surprise at the final session
of court by declining to argue the
issues to the jury after Attorney A. G.
Cruce had made the first statement
for the plaintiff. 1t was the prevalent
belief that this course was taken by
the lawyers for Gault, Lawhead and
Humbarger so that Judge c. B. Stuart,
who was to close for McAlester, would
be deprived of the privilege Of adj
dressing the jury. The courtroom was
comfortably filled with spectators who
had come principally to hear his clos
ing argument, and it was apparent that
they, at least, were disappointed when
1t developed that there were to be no
further arguments after Attorney
Cruce had concluded.
McAlester's suit against Gault, Law
head and HumbaTger was one of the
closing features Of the primary cam
paign in which ]. ]. McAlester and
Mr.. Gault were the opposing candi
dates for the democratic nomination
for president of the state board OF
agriculture. The article, a political
advertisement. appeared in the Okla
homan on July rs, 1914, and the suit
appeared in the district court on the
thirty-frst day of the same month
McAlester claimed in the suit that his
reputation had been seriously injured
and at the trial introduced evidence
to the effect that the article cost him
votes in the primary election. The
Oklahoman was originally included in
the suit, but escaped by publishing q
retraction on the eve Of the trial.

WATCHING A BATTLE
American Woman Describes Her
Experience.
From Her House She Could Hear and
Note the Effects Of the Fearful Can
nonadlng During the Fighting
on the Marine.

From an authentic letter written by
an American woman, Mildred Aldrich
living alone near Huiry-sur-Marne, to
a friend in America. The letter, from
which the following is an extract, was
written on September s, 1914. Preced-
ing it were other letters telling of the
coming of the English soldiers and the
tense excitement of distant cannonad-
ing. They are published in the Allan
tic Monthly.

AS near as / can remember, it was
a little after one o'clock when the
cannonading suddenly became much
heavier, and / stepped out into the
orchard, from which there is wide
view of the plain. l gave one look;
then l heard myself say: "Amelie"-
as if she could help-and I retreated.
Amelie rushed by me. l heard her
say: Mon Dieu!" l waited, but she
did not come back. After bit pulled
myself together, went out again, and
followed down to the hedge where she
was standing, looking off to the plain.
The battle had advanced right over
the crest of the hill. The sun was
shining brilliantly on silent Mareuil
and Chauconin, but Montyon and
Penchard were enveloped in smoke.
From the eastern and western ey-
temities of the plain we could see
the artillery fire, but owing to the
smoke hanging over the crest of the
hill on the horizon, 1t was impossible
to get an idea Of the positions of the
armies.
l tried to remember what the Eng
lish soldiers had said-that the Ger
mans were, If possible, to be pushed
east, in which case the artillery at
the west must be either the French
or English. The hard thing to bear
was, that it was all conjecture.
So often, when first took this place
on the hill, l had looked off at the
plain and thought, What a battle
field" forgetting how often the Seine
et-Marne had been that, from the days
when the kings lived at Chelles down
to the days when it saw the worst of
the invasion Of 1870. But when
thought that, had visions very differ
ent from what l was seeing. l had
imagined long lines of marching sol
diers, detachments of flying cavalry,
like the war pictures at Versailles and
Fontainebleau. Now, l was actually
seeing a battle, and 1t was nothing
like that. There was only noise
belching smoke, and long drifts OF
white clouds concealing the hill.
A dozen times during the afternoon
l went into the study and tried to
read. Little groups of old men, WON
en- and children were in the road
mounted on the barricade which the
English had left. l could hear the
murmur of their voices. In vain
tried to stay indoors. The thing was
stronger than l, and in spite of my
self, would go out on the lawn and
field glass in hand, watch the smoke
