portion of the money being in
bank notes issued by one Of the
Stroud banks.
The defense claims that the
currency found on Sawyer was
the money Groom had turned
over to Sawyer following the sale
Of the horse.
Several witnesses swOre that
they saw the robbers enter Stroud
the morning Of the robbery and
none admitted having seen Saw

Tom Anderson, a Stroud attOr-
ney. with offices over the Stroud
National bank, said that he saw
the robbers approach the two
banks but was sure Sawyer was
not among them. Anderson said
he looked twice from his office
window at the robbers.

Wednesday morning attorneys for
the defense demurred to the suf-
ficiency of the testimony to sup

Daughters of
Former Ruler
Hide in Mexico

MENICO CITY, Aug. - Two
daughters of Portirio Dlaz, who tor
thirty years ruled Mexico with an
iron hand are living in obscurity in
Mexico City,
Not only have they been in hiding
a greater part of the time, but they
have been compelled to exc out an
existence by the sale of jewels and
household effects, trusting these to a
faithful servant to pawn or sell out
right that food might be brought to
their hiding place. An effort is to be
made to smuggle them out of the
country that they may join the family
now in France.
That they are not in Europe at the
present time is due to the fact that
they refused to leave the sides of
their husbands when the Diaz regime
came to an end some five years ago.
Since then the two women have been
widowed, if current reports are to be
credited they have seen their proper
tics burned and looted by various
military factions until little more
than the land remains and this has
been divided among Zapatista gen
erals

That Edward O. Tlburne, new Sec

1t will be one Of the most beautiful

will be distinguished by several tea-
lures that are original with Mr.. and
Mrs. Tilburne.
This is one Of many new homes to
be built soon in Irving Place and
PARK Hill, and is an evidence OF
Tulsas expansion in all directions, as
this particular part Of the city was
opened to the public only recently and
Irving boulevard was completed but
two weeks ago.

ABOUT EXPORT GAINS

Be Recognized, Says
President Wilson.

WAsHINGToN Aug. 4.-Elabo-
w rate statistics have been as
sembled by the state department to
refute the British assumption that in
creased expectations from the United
States to Holland and Scandinavian
countries indicate that some of these
goods are finding their way into Ger
many and Austria. The figures will
be included in a preliminary draft
being prepared for President Wilson
of the reply to the three British notes
made public yesterday.
A study of neutral trade conditions
has been made by the state depart
ment and by the department of COM
merce, report from Consul Gen
eral Skinner at London on British
foreign trade for the six months
ended June 80 shows that exports to
the Scandinavian countries and HOl-
land have increased since the war
began along the same line as Amer
lean exports to those countries
Position of L. ;.
The state department will contend
that there can be no more assumption
that American goods going to these
neutral countries are bound for Ger
many than that British goods eX
ported there will reach Great Brit
aims enemies
The London report showed that
while Great Britain's exports de-
creased materially in the first six
months of 1915 as compared to the
same period of 1914, imports in
creased. Re-eXports during June, the
first month during which the British
