VISIT TO lNSTlTUTIONS-R
FORM SCHOOL FOR NEGRO BOYS
WILL COME FIRST.

Oklahoma City, May 9.-Whie the
state board of public affairs is still
considering the possibility of estab-
fishing factories of magnitude in the
tory, it is the conclusion of the board
that for the present the activities un-
der the new law will be confined to
enargng the present industries in
that institution. They will add one or
two small industrial enterprises as
soon as possible. One of these will be
canning factory. Another will be
mattress factory Industries there
that are to be enlarged as the business
shall warrant are the shoe shop, the
wagon factory and the woodworking
shop. 1t is also planned to establish
a factory for disinfectants to supply
at least the wants of the state in this
line The state pays out great deal
of money each year for disinfectants
and sweeping compounds that 1t Is
planned to save by manufacturing in
the penitentiary. Members of the
board decided this on the occasion of
their visit with governor Williams
this week to the penitentiary.
"The board will not engage in any
enterprise of speculative or expert

ured ON the twine factory and have,
gone over the ground very carefully
and are about determined to let it
rest for the time being at least The
capital required for such plant would
be considerable, possibly more than
we have available, and the results
The twine factory in the Kansas pris-
on is now unable to promise delivery
of twine for the reason that it is
difficult, owing to war conditions, to
secure the sisal that constitutes the |
principal raw material. We are GO
ing to develop the little plants that |
are now established and put in other |
little plants that will be susceptible of
enlargement if the promise should |
warrant expansion.
"The first thing we are going to do
in the penitentiary which will give
employment to a number of convcts
will be the construction of the re-
form school for negro youths-a work
that was authorized by the last legis-
lature, and the need for which is pat.
ent in the fact that negro boys who
belong in such institution are now be-
ing sent to the penitentiary because
here is no other place to send them
There is still a good deal of con
struction work to be done on the pris.

prisoners, and these things, with the
little industries, will keep the men at
work probably until the little indus
ries shall grow into bigger industries
rhe money that has been placed at
he disposal of the board for estab-
ishing industries in the prison will
,e expended as the success of ven
ures in the Industrial line, becomes
more probable. We are not going to ex. ,

LYNCHED BY
MASKED MOB
TAKEN FROM JAIL IN NORMAN
AND HANGED TO TREE-kILl.
ED HIS WIFE IN A DRUNKEN
RAGE.

Norman, Okla, May 9.-Evidently
believing that the man would be de-
creed insane and never forced to eX-
plate his crime, mob of a dozen
masked white men, presumably from
Noble, early Sunday morning took DR..
b. f. Ward slayer of his wife, from
the Cleveland county Jail and hanged
him to tree two miles south of Nor
man.
The man was strung up, not more
than two feet from the ground, and
permitted to strangle. No shots were
fired and no disturbance was made
Two hours later his dead body was
found by Sheriff Claud Pickard The
mob had disappeared and Sunday
night there were no clues to the den-
titles of its members.
Ward had been practicing his pro-
fession at Noble for three years. His
death by mob violence followed a
utNtI Ill lnb
state for cold bloodedness and bru-
tality. He killed his wife at their
home in Noble at O'Clock last
Tuesday night while neighbors were
breaking through locked doors in an
swer to the womans screams for
help. They found the man bending
over his wife giving her the second
of two stabs in the heart with
siX-inch knife used by surgeons.
Their 7months-old child was lying
nearby. Ward was overcome by the
rescue party and hurried by the
sheriff to the county Jail at Norman
to avoid all possibility of mob vio-
lence.

by Sheriff Claud Pickard, when he
Kept a special guard over DR.. Ward
at the county Jail for three days and
nothing happened Thus it was that
there was no one at the Jail but the
jailor when the party, in three auto
mobiles, called at 1:3O Sunday morn
ing and worked a clever ruse TO get
the prisoner.
This is Leslie with a prisoner"
the leader of the party shouted to
Jailor H. c. Cottrell rattling on the
door. W. A. Leslie is a deputy sher-
iff at Noble. The jailor was aroused
from sleep, put on his trousers con-
tanning his keys and opened the
door for the men to enter. As they
came through the door two of them
seized the jailor, handcnfred him and
took his keys.
The physician was found in a cell.
tied and thrown into a waiting auto
mobile. The jailor was placed in
another and driven two miles south
of town where the keys to the hand
cuffs were placed in his pocket. and
he was ordered to walk back to Nor
man. The night agent at the Santa
Fe removed the shackles when the
Tailor got back to the station half an
hour later.
Sheriff Pickard was aroused imme-
diately and set off with two deputies
south of town.
They found the physician hanging
to small elm tree with his feet
swinging not two feet from the
ground, but dead for at least two
hours from strangulation. There was
no bruise or other mark on the body.

"His First Case" is the title of the 2-reel Lubin detective drama which will be one of the main features Of the show at the Orpheum tonight This film is a dandy. its full of in terest and centers around several un usual situations.

 "The Pirates of Peacock Alley" is all that the name suggests-some thing interesting and with smat tering of good, lively fun, as well as a little of mystery
 But if you want a real laugh -thc kind that you cant stop, if you want to forget any or all of the pesky things that have worried you today. you want to see Slippery Sim Diplomat, and Sophia Has @ Birthday Party We'll guarantee that tho sDhin' would laugh, even if no Sphinx eyei laughed before, if it were brought t' the Orpheum tonight

 What Herman Ridder achieved in his life of sixty-five years as an Amer ican citizen is in a general way what thousands and thousands of other boys of foreign birth or parentage have achieved and are still achieving in this land of opportunity. To the intelligent boy. no matter Of what na- tionality originally, this country still offers rich compensation for every ef- fort and for every service.
