BAN JOHNSON A COMEDIAN.
So Says Weeshman, Telling Inside
Story of Jackson Sale.

Chicago. Aug. 3O.-"Bap Johnson is one
of the greatest comedians in captivity
and some of the jokes he springs furnish
more laughs that Charlie Chaplin's ca
pers," said President Weeghman, of the
Chicago Federals. when he read that the
president of the American League had
tried to induce President Somers to start
legal proceedings against the Federal
League for tampering with Joe Jackson.
Ban Johnson did not tell all of the
facts in the Jackson case. The Cleveland
outfielder sought Manager Tinker in the
Somerset Hotel, in New York. when the
Maps were playing the Yankees. and
begged Tinker to sign him to a Chicago
contract.
jackson said the Cleveland club was
back seven weeks in his salary. He said
he had made a demand for his money
and they wanted to pay him s25 on ac-
count.

RENOWNED PLAYERS FAIL
By CHICK EVANS.

Detroit Aug. S1-The scores today were
high and many good men fell by the
wayside. There was a cold wind blow
ing and the course difficult in the best
of weather. taxed skill to the utmost.
z. P. Allis. D. Warren Corkran. Frazier
Hale. and Walter Egan. all well-known
golfers. failed to qualify.
The surprise of the day was the fin
playing of Mr.. Nudge. of the Town and
Country Club of Minneapolis. He won
the gold medal. with score of 19-IS-l52.
which under the weather conditions was
golf of the highest class.
Chicagoans rejoiced 10 see our own
townsman OF the Hinsdale Country Club
come in for second place with the good
consistent score Of 36-IS-l5i. In all five
Chica goans qualified and Western pros
poets looked bright. but there is a great
and mysterious thing in golf called the
Luck Of draw and this apparently has
failed the West. The tournament. it
vas hoped would place the West and
Last in a competition on equal terms.

decided otherwise for Chicagoans find
themselves i'll the fight and begin to

A cold waye hit this section of the

Yesterday the maximum registered at
the local observatory was 65 degrees,
this morning at 80 o'clock it had fal-

weather gradually became colder af-

$50. The sudden cold snap has not
perceptibly affected the gas supply,
and there was no complaint registered

Fiqht for Lost Ground.

London. Jan. 22.-The battle for
the trenches in Flanders and France
continues almost without cessation
from the sea to the Swiss border. In
the mud of Flanders the floods of the
Aisne Valley and the SHOWS of the Ar
gonne and the vosges, the soldiers of
Germany and the allied nations keep
up a continual fight.
According to long official report
of the fighting during the last two
months, issued by the French war
staff today, this method of siege oper-
ations largely has favored the allies,
who while they have gained ground on
almost every part of the front, have
been forced to give way in only one re-
gion-that of scissors.
They are being put to a taat how

Death Of Charles McClaine.

News was received here this morn

which occurred at Purcell this morn

ever, similar to that which obliged
them to retire from north of the Aisne
near Scissors, because the Germans,
realizing the danger to their commu-
nications with Metz as a result of the
French advance near Pont-a- -Mousson,
have sent reinforcements there and
have begun a battle for the positions
they lost during the last week. The
Germans apparently have regained a
portion of them, and fighting for the
remainder is now in progress.
At other points, particularly near
st. Mihiel, and in Alsace, there have
been infantry engagements, but, on
the whole, the artillery continues to
be the busiest arm.
The Russians have renewed their

is generally brief when big events are
happening. The Russians continue

Of
COMMERCE:
LAST NIGHT
PENDING BILL BE-
FORE NATIONAL CONGRESS
AND PASSED RESOLUTIONS EN-.
OORSlNG 1T.

The Chamber of Commerce met in
special session last night at the
county court house and discussed the
bill that has been prepared to be
presented to the national congress
levying a tax of one per cent on all
goods sold in the state by foreign mail
order houses. If this bill should be-
come a law it would mean consider
able revenue to the various counties
as an enormous business is done by
foreign houses in Oklahoma every
year.
There are no figures available for
the years 1914, but for the year
1912 the total mail order business
transacted in Carter county alone
was $125,000, and it is safe to pre-
dict that the past two years has seen
a substantial increase in the figures,
multiply this by II the number of
counties in the state and an idea may
be obtained as to what the revenue
derived would mean to each county,
in Carter county for 1912 it would
have amounted to $1,25000, quite a
tidy sum toward current expenses.
The Chamber of Commerce were
unanimous in their endorsement of
the pending bill and passed resolu-
tions to that effect. The secretary
was instructed to take charge of the
affairs of the retailers association
and revive interest in that organi-
zation. The books and records of
the association are now in his hands
and will be kept by him in the fu-
ture.
Quite a good deal of discussion has
been INDUCED in today over the mail
order proposition and the best means
of combating it.
"There is no use denying the fact
stated one business man here this
morning while discussing the meet
ing, that a lot of money is taken
from this county every year and sent
to mail order houses out of the state,
this money goes to purchase every
conceivable thing from furniture and
clothing to groceries, and something
should be done to keep this money at
home" This was agreed to by those
present but one man who is not in
business at present also stated that
if local merchants could meet the
competition of the mail order house
they should advertise the fact and
let it be known among the class who
patronize out Of state houses. The
mail order houses spend millions in
advertising and it is no wonder that
they get the business, in order to
off set this the local dealer must
fight them with their own ammuni-
ton, that is, advertise that the same
article can be purchased as cheaply
here plus the cost of transportation
as it can be any where on earth and
keep bunch of mail order catalogues
on hand to substantlate the argument
if one ever arises.
