THOUSAND ARMED
 MEN IN SEARCH
Oil Field Workers Heavily Arm ed Securing Country for Mur- derers of Prominent Operator Demanded Prisoner.

Muskogee, Aug. 4.-Nearly a thou sand heavily armed oil workers from Morris, Okmulgee and Hoffman, more than a hundred of them in automo. piles and the others afoot, tonight secured the nearby oil fields for Bill Iowery, negro wanted on the charge of killing Charles Vaughn, we'll to do oil man whose mutilated body was found in the toneau of his automo- bile near Hoffman late today.
 Another negro, his hands and cloth ing smeared with what appeared to be blood, was captured in a corn field near Hoffman less than an hour after the body was found. Officers placed him in an automobile and outdistanced the hostile citizens of Hoffman in a race for the county jail at Okmulgee.
 Word of his capture flashed through out the oil fields and within an hour two hundred men had begun a march from Morris, little oil town about ten miles away, to Okmulgee with the avowed intention of lynching him. Officers are believed to have spirited the negro from the jail and are with him somewhere between Muskogee and Okmulgee in an automobile. He is said to be Cecil Towery, brother of Bill Towery.
 One of the posses late tonight cap tured third negro, Jessie Scott, who declared he saw two negroes with Vaughn in his car shortly before the murder was discovered The posse is holding him a prisoner to identify the slayers should they be captured.
 Vughn's throat had been cut, his head almost severed from his shoul- ders, and the car was splashed with blood. He had been robbed and his pockets turned inside out.

MAY BE ELECTED
 AT NEXT MEETING
ctate Normal Board Adjourned Yesterday Without Re-Elect- ing ]. j. DOyne, Principal Discuss Report of Findley.

Little Rock, Aug. 5.-While the ctate Normal Board yesterday ad- ;onrned without re-electing J. J. Doyne as president of the institution, it Is rrosumed that he will be reelected o+ the next meeting of the Board in Sentember. The report of O. P. Findley, as auditor of the Normal hooks was discussed, and the question of possible deficits was referred to a committee consisting of State Supt. George B. Cook, State Treasurer R. G. Mcdaniel, and Prof. B. w. Torrey- son. President Doyne said that he would repay to the state any amount that might be reported as due. The members of the Board agreed that inaccuracies are due to careless book keeping, and there were no charges of dishonesty. Mr. Doyne has already repaid some small sums where it was shown that errors had been made.
 To relieve the president of the nor nal from the detail of bookkeeping and management of the finances, the board created the position of regis trar and bookkeeper, at $100 a month, and elected J. P Machin of Magnolia to the place. Mir. Machin has been for some time bookkeeper in the of flee of the state auditor
 F. H. Herrin, of the Little Rock High School, was elected to the chair of pedagogy, to succeed c. C.. Denny.
 At the September meeting the board will elect a dean of women in- stead of a matron.
 President Doyne will move out of tie dormitory and reside in a private dwelling.

MARKET DECLINES
 AFTER EARLY RISE
Reaction Follows Opening Ad-
 vance-ClOse 6 to 12 Points
 Under - Weather Forecast Gives Hope of Relief in Texas.

New York, Aug. 4.-Reactions fol- lowed sharp opening advance in the cotton market today, with December contracts selling off from 14.27c to 13.97c, and closing at 1399c. The general list closed steady at net de- cline of 6 to 12 points.
 Another big advance in Liverpool and prospects for showers or rains in some sections of the Eastern belt, seemed to be chiefly responsible for the firm opening. First prices were Il to 17 points higher, with all posi- tions making new high records. Oc- tober contracts sold at 14.05c and January at 14.34c, on or immediately following the call, or just about cent per pound above the low figures of last Thursday Realizing was very heavy around the IA 1-4c level for December, however, and the market soon developed reactionary sentiment.
 The official forecast for partly cloudy weather in Texas and unsettled conditions in Oklahoma seemed to hold out some hope of relief in those sections which doubtlessly promoted the selling movement. Some uneasi- ness was caused by private wires from New Orleans claiming that there was some sort of weather disturbance in the Southern gulf. Offerings in creased again during the afternoon, however, and the market reached the lowest point of the day in the late trading.
 The market closed steady.

ARGUMENT PRO AND
 CON IN SENATE
Constitutional Arguments For and Against Child Labor Bill Occupies Senate-Child Labor Bill Up

Washington, Aug. 4.-Constitution- al arguments for and against the administration child labor bill occu- pied the senate today. Senator Borah, republican, maintaining that congress has ample authority to exclude pro- ducts of child labor from interstate and foreign commerce and Senator Hardwick insisting that federal legis- lation of such character was clearly an infringement on the rights of the states.
 Senator Borah asserted the meas ure merely carried out the police power of congress over interstate commerce. Tt must be conseded,' he said, that there are some things so bad that they must be denied the channels of interstate commerce and that a line must be drawn some where" When it came to discrimina- tion in such matter he argued it could not be left to the states and must fall on congress.
 Senator Hardwick charged both parties with claiming the political ex- pediency with child labor legislation and said he felt ashamed because his party had favored it in the St. Louis platform. The bill, he declared, was directly against purely domestic and internal affair whose regulation lay in the sole power of the states. He said he was in favor of just and humane child labor laws but was con- fident the supreme court would hold the pending measure unconstitutional if enacted into law.

OPPOSE OLD IDEALS.

The home loving suffragists can
not understand why so many fair
and intelligent men are opposed to
their cause. They argue that the
ballot will not take woman from
the home as it will require only a
few minutes of her time to cast her
vote. 1t is not because the suffrage
will take woman's time from the
home that so many oppose it. 1t is
because it will tend to take some
thing as infinitely precious as it
Is practically indefinable, something
In the relation of man and woman
that the modern family can ill
spare. 1t is because it will tend
to introduce into the home a fruit
full cause of contention, dangerous
source of friction and a latent
menace to domestic harmony. 1t
is because it will tend to take from
the home the old ideal of the
womanly woman, equal to man but
different. 1t will substitute for the
old fashioned woman the woman
who thinks she can only show her
equality with man by doing the
things that men do. 1t will give
us the foolish woman who thinks
that an empty ballot can add dig
nifty to the divine mystery of
motherhood and add influence to
the irresistible charm of wifehood.
