New York Bankers
 Arrange Big Loans

New York, March 27.-Coneerences of bankers, it was learned today, have brought near to conclusion arrange ments for extending credits to Great Britain, France, Italy and other coun- tries. 1n addition to the $1o,000, GOO loan to Germany. The French credit, it is expected, will be the first to be closed. The amount has not been definitely dxed but may, 1t is said, be as large as $50, 900, 900.
 The English credit, it was said, may be twice as large as that for France. lNegotiations are in progress for a loan to Foussia in addition to the s25,000, GOO she recently obtained. Italy is likely to obtain credit,
 Most if not all of these loans are ex- pcted to take a form in which they can be sold to the public.
 Bankers engaged in these nogotia-
 tions said that itsis greatly to the in terest of both capital and labor in this country that the European countries should be put in position to continue their purchases here. Labor, they be- lieve. gets the lions share of the mon ey to spend and the extension of these credits makes it possible to keep mills
 running and workmen employed that
 would be idle except for the extraor- dinary demand due to the war

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j..
Cheney e Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only Constitutional cure on the mar
ket. 1t is taken internally. 1t acts

Oklahoma City, April TEN of the
acts of the fifth legislature died auto

though the governor cannot actually

journment, results in the bills death,
The bill providing compensation for
widows OF employees of the state peni-
tentiary killed in a battle with con-
victs last year, the act creating a
state illiteracy commission and the
measure appropriating funds for re-
building Wilkin hall at the Tonkawa
preparatory school, were notable
among those killed by the chief exec
utives inaction. Another was the bill
creating a state library commission.
Widows Denied Money
"The widows of those McAlester
guards and officials killed in the upris-
ing of convicts should not expect this
money from the state" Governor Will
liams declared, explaining his posi-
tion in allowing the penitentiary bill
to die. "Why should the state pay
them? Might as well think of appro-
priating a thousand dollars or so for
widows of miners perishing in the Nc
