KNIGHT HAS DIFFICULTY IN
LOCATING AUGUST KRAUSE

If John M. Dimick knows the
whereabouts of August Krause, 4216
Washtenaw av., he has not yet told
state officials who are trying to find
Krause.
Krause's mother yesterday told
R. ]. Knight, state inspector of en-
ployment agencies, that Albert had
been sent to New York by a firm
rounding up strikebreakers for duty
in case of a railroad strike which was
recently threatened. She has not
seen or heard from her son since.
Mrs. Krause involved the name Of
Dimick and the New York strike
breaking agency of Berghof Bros. &
Waddel, of which Dimick is believed
by state labor officials to be western
manager.
Krause's mother thinks her son
met with foul play, that he may have
been killed in riot on a New York
Central train near Cleveland last
week when strikebreakers being re-
turned to their western homes after
the ran strike was called off got into
a riot over refusal Of the agency to
feed:them. It is known that one was
killed and five seriously injured in
this fight.
Knight thinks Dimick's0 latest
roundup Of men was intended for
strikebreaking duty in the New York
car strike.

THAN HALF A MILE AND STILL

j. w Johnson the ranchman, at
Milo, is Christian. He is thorough

to some hidden power which he be-
lieves is divine. A few days ago he
was dragged for more than a thou
sand yards by a pair of wild mules,
and he lived through it all and is able

ness. He was handling a wild team
with rope about the necks of the ami

and his foot caught in a moose in the
end of the rope. He managed to hold
on to the rope with his hands and kept
his head from the ground during a
chase OF more than half a mile. All
the time the mules were dragging
him, his weight was pressing against
their throats and the animals became
so badly choked that they could not
run fast, and he took advantage of
the opportunity to release his foot
from the moose.

johnson on his ranch yesterday, as
sured him that the Lord was either
saving him for some good purpose or
for a worse fate than to be dragged
to death by a wild mule.

BANKERS At ADA
CRITICIZE NEW
USURY Law
{. A. WALKER SAYS THE STATE
NEEDS MORE BUSINESS MEN
AND FEWER POLITICIANS IN
ITS LEGISLATURE.

Ada, Okla, Feb. 24-Group five of
Oklahoma Bankers association held
its convention in this city today.
About three hundred members were

lahoma City
The usury law just passed by the
extra session of the state legisla-
ture was discussed. 1t seemed to be
the keynote of all speeches delivered
that the new law will work great
hardship on the small banks and
that the larger institutions will not
be seriously affected, save by the
general business depression likely to
follow. John T. Bailey of Albion
took the new measure to task, saying
it will bring ruin to the small banks
and bring on the crop lien system
that the southeastern states are try
ing to recover from. The large credit
merchants will thrive, he said, and
only the unscrupulous and shiftless
will prosper by the new law.
f. A. Walker of oklahoma City, in
his address on business conditions in
the state, said Oklahoma has too
many politicians and too few bust
ness men in the legislature, and until
this is changed the people will be
forever having their business systems
and laws upset and changed before
they can be thoroughly tested. His
remarks were greeted by great APP
plause.
The convention closed the days
work with tours over the city, fol-
lowed by a dance at the Elks hall
tonight.
