BANK SAFE BLOWN
Oklahoma Robbers Make Good Escape
 After Flight from SkiatOok.

Tulsa, Okla, Dec. 20.-Oklahoma bank bandits scored another point some time before daylight this morn ing when they entered the Oklahoma National Bank of Skiatook, Okla, blew open the safe and escaped with $20,000 in currency and silver.
 While the bandits left no clew, it is thought they escaped in an automo- bile. However, they had several hours start on posses which formed in Tulsa and Skiatook early today, as the rob bers cut telephone and telegraph wires leading into the small town 10 miles north of Tulsa. Skiatook knew noth- ing of the burglary until after day light, the explosion which wrecked the safe not having been heard by res idents.
 Skiatook is only five miles from the Osage Hills, for 40 years the rendez- vous of outlaws, and officials believe that the bandits are hiding there.

COTTON BUFFERS
 ANOTHER DECLINE
Biz Early Advance Fades Away After Publication of Lansing's Statement Market Became SensatiOnally Excited.

New York, Dec. 21.-A big early ad- vance on a more optimistic view of peace prospects was followed by de- moralizing break in the cotton market this afternoon, with selling extremely active and excited after the publica- tion of Secretary Lansing's statement. March contracts broke from 1767c to 16.22c, or 145 points from the high level of the morning, and 192 points under last nights close. Last prices were practically the lowest of the day, with the close irregular and excited at net decline of 69 to 102 points.
 The early news from Washington started big buying movement at the opening. The market started at an advance of 27 to 38 points and sold 40 to 43 points net higher during the middle of the morning. This made an advance of over $3 bale from the low level of yesterday, which appeared sui ficient to attract good deal of realiz- ing. The market turned easier in con- sequence and offerings were stimu- lated by later Washington advices. Stop-loss orders were uncovered on a scale down and the market became sensationally excited, with January breaking to 15.99c and May to 16.45c in the late trading. Reports of fur ther submarine activities seemed to emphasize Secretary Lansing's state ment and while there was more or less general talk of peace on the fore noon advance, the afternoon break re-

IN AUTOMOBILES
 IN ARKANSAS PHENOMENAL

Little Rock, Dec. 21.-The increase in the automobiles owned in the state has been phenomenal During the year 1914 there were 5642 licenses is- sued. In 1915 there were S021, an in- crease of 42 per cent. During the year 1916 there have been 15,400 is- sued, an increase of 89 per cent.
 Should the same percentage of in- crease continue, it is estimated that fully 25,OOO licenses will be issued by the State Highway department in 1917 and 10000 in 1918. On account of the increase in this work, the commission CT recommends that there should be an increase in the clerical force to take care of the business.
 It is also recommended that all the money paid into the automobile fund should be paid into the state treasury to assist in the Federal Aid, instead of paying half of it to the county.
 It is further recommended that the tax on automobiles should be accord ing to horse power, with an extra charge for auto stages and taXicabs.
 "It is our opinion" says Mir. Owen, "that hundreds of auto owners by some reason fail to procure license. The law should provide for state in spectors whose salaries should be con tingent on the amount received in fees from delinquents."
