MUSkOGEE MAN MEETS DEATH
DURING ABSENCE OF FAMILY

Muskogee, Okla, Sept. THE bad
ly decomposed body of II. c. Perry, a
Missouri Oklahoma 4 Gulf railroad
coppersmith, was found in his home
Tuesday afternoon by fellow work
men, who had become alarmed over
his absence.
Officials are divided between muir
der and suicide theories Perry's wife
and child two weeks ago went to Ada
Okla, on a visit. Mrs. Perry has been
notified of her husbands death. A has
ty examination by a physician showed
that Perry had probably been struck
on the head with a dull weapon, but
more careful examination has left
this in doubt
Perry was last seen by neighbors
Saturday night He was then in con
versation with another man, the two
sitting on the porch of Perry's home.
When found, Perry's body was on the
floor in a bed room.
A hatchet was found on the place,
but bore no blood marks In the mans
kitchen We're two packages of gro
ceries, which had been delivered some
time Saturday. On the front porch
were unused copies of Sundays and
Tuesdays newspapers. In the dining
room, places at the dining table had
been prepared for two, leading the Of
ficers to believe that Perry had COM
pany. A search is now being made for
the man seen with Perry Saturday
night. A coroner's jury sworn in at
the house has as yet been unable to
reach a verdict

FOX FEATURES CONTINUE TO
IMPROVE EACH WEEK

Considerable time and space have
been devoted by the management of
the Royal and Airdome each week in
telling their patrons about Fox fea-
lures. 1t is their aim to get every
one to know of the real merit of these
productions, and they are using the
columns of The Ardmoreite for that
purpose. There are no better motion
pictures produced than Fox features,
and the public is gradually waking
up to the fact, as Thursday nights
receipts at these amusement places
are increasing each week.
For tomorrow Thursday night the
offering will be Theda Bara, the fam
ed vampire" woman in "a Fool
There Was" and The Kreutzer So
nata,' supported by VIM. Shay and
an all.star cast in "The Clemenceau
Case" by the celebrated author, Alex
ander Dumas.
Camille" the earliest on his works
to create a profound sensation, was
published when Dumas was hardly
out of his teens. He at once became
a world figure and congratulations
poured in upon the new power of
literature from the four quarters of
the earth. 1t was declared that the
young man was 2 create: literary art
list than even his famed father.
Camille" however powerful as the
subject it deals with is, in no way
approaches the tremendous force and
thrilling interest of THE C'emenceau
Case" 1t was this that led William
Fox, president Of the Fox Film Cor
poration, to reach a decision to make
photoplay of this brilliaot authors
master-work.

Topeka, Kansas, Sept 4.-Joe Long
shore, salesman for an independent oil
company, yesterday threatened to in
woke the states legal machinery to
protect the independent oil refineries
from the old game of squeeze OUT
which he maintains the Standard is
using in Kansas now. He asserts the
Standard by increasing the prices it
paid for crude oil, In Kansas, and a
few other states, where it had COM
petition from the Independents, and
holding the price of the refined prod
uct stationary, has put the indepen-
dent oil producers up against it until
they are nearly out of business.
I'VE have stayed in the fight about
as long as we can said Longshore
yesterday. "Now we will be forced to
increase the price of crude oil. That is
expected to turn the market over to
the Standard. When we are out of
business, the Standard prices will go
up again. Same old game. Same old
result"
The Independents probably will hold
another meeting soon to see if there
is any legal redress. There is some
talk of taking up the old case in the
supreme court against the Standard
Oil Company.

New York, stating that $5,000,000 oil
