MAKES A BONEHEAD
Auto Owners In Tulsa Receive In
warranted Letters From
Commissioner

Carelessness or ignorance on tho
part of tho office of commissioner Of
highways Of oklahoma is causing
much trouble for owners OF automo-
biles in Tulsa. Although the state
license for 1916 was supposed to have
been taken out on the first of the
year. it has only been within the past
few weeks that owners here could get
any blanks and after filling out the
blanks many of them are still with
out numbers.
In most cases the trouble is being
calsed owlcrs of new cars that were
not in use last year. Several local
owners filled out the blanks properly
but as their cars We're only made this
Year. of course. left that part refcrr
ing to the data for 1915 blank. Much
to their surprise they received letters
from the commissioner demanding to
know why they had not filled out the
blanks properly and refusing to issue
license until such had been done.
Judging by the letters sent back to
the commissioner. something Is liable
to happen at oklahoma City before
very long.

two years old today and celebrated
~ day by stating that its deposits
we're now around the 800 O0C mark.

showed $4,000 The bank was or
ganized here two years ago by
George o. Shepherd and George NJ.

change bank, which was closed by the
bank commissioner when the cashier.

the Alton Exchange bank started
business with only 1000 deposits.
One year later the deposits had
reached nearly $40 900. and now they
are at the 100000 mark. This Is
considered mighty good record for
hank in an Oklahoma town that has
had neither a boom by oil or mineral
ore, and the bank has simply built
tbe business up by good hard con-
servative work and business hustling.

Remarkable Use of Kings
English; Is Not Back
ing Bryan.

TINTED States Senator Thomas p.
~ Gore denies that he is waging
war on President Wilson or backing
w. j. Bryan for the presidential
nomination. He further denies that he
violated the postal laws by sending
out copies of Bryan's speech on pre-
preparedness under his government
frank. In letter notable for Its
silent eloquence the senator clearly
sets forth his position with regard to
Wilson, Bryan and preparedness. The
letter. written at Washington, ID. c.,
under date of April 10, follows in
full:
Editor the Tulsa World, Tulsa,
Okla. My Dear Sir: I observe in an ar
ticle recently published in The World
the following statement:
Omitted States Senator Thomas
Pryor Gore. OF Oklahoma. is waging
war on President Wilson. United
Senator Gore is waging this fight by
means of the use of the government
frank. United States Senator Gore Is
backing william Jennings Bryan"
etc.
The article then adds:
sending that part by Bryan
through the mails under a franked
envelope is a direct violation OF the
law"
I do not fix upon The World either
the blame or the responsibility for
the misstatements or misrepresenta-
tions contained In this frantic screed.

WASHINGTON. April 12.-Further
increase Of the United States forces
in Mexico Is again prominent in offi-
cial consideration. 1t was learned TO-
night that upon the return here to-
morrow of Secretary Baker from
Cleveland, there might be important
developments.
In this connection 1t was officially
stated that General Pershngs future
movements in the hunt for VIVA
include adequate preparations for any
eventuality. Strengthening of the line
of communication for which troops
are needed principally. has proceeded
with that end in view.
Late today confidential advices
were received from General Funston,
understood to refer to the question OF
the line of communication. Despite
increancd use of Mexican railways IN
shipping supplies reported To-Day
there was no suggestion in any ofti-
cial quarter that the strength OF the
motor truck service would be in the
least decreased.
Concern of army officials on the
bcrder regarding the movement OF
CarranZa troops toward taSas
Grandes was reflected to some extent
in official quarters here tonight. IL
was officially stated that General
Funston had complete authority FOR
any movement Of troops on the border
to safeguard the United States ad-
vance columns and their lines. Gen
eral Scott, chief of staff, while deny
ing that any orders to send more
troops into Mexico had yet been is
sued. declared General FuEston did
not need such authority from wash
ington and had carte blanche TO
move any forces in the southern dis
trict.
Persistent reports that use OF the
national guard was contemplated
drew statement on high authority
that the president was not considering
.such a step and that only in the view
of more widespread military ipera-
tions than the mere chase of villa and
his outlaws would the regulars need
support.
Make Better Arrangements.

sidered doubtful in some quarters, but
