MOB IN OKLAHOMA O|L FIELD GATHERS
 TOAVENGE MURDER
Crowds From MuskOgee and Okmulgee Were Demand ing Prisoner From the
 Sheriff at Late Hour

Muskogee. Okla, August 4.-Nearly> 1000 heavily armed oil workers from Morris, Okmulgee and Hoffman, more than a hundred in automobiles and the others afoot tonight secured the nearby oil fields for Bill Towery a negro, wanted on the charge of murdering Charles Vaughn, a well-to-do oil man, whose mu- tilated body was found in the tonneau of his automobile near Hoffman late to- day.
 Another negro, his hands and clothing
 smeared with blood, was captured in a
 corn field near Hoffman less than an hour after Vaughn's body was found. Of ficers placed him in an automobile and outdistanced the citizens of Hoffman in a race for the county jail at Okmulgee. Word of his capture flashed throughout the oil fields and within an hour 200 men had begun a march from Morris, little oil town, about 10 miles away, to Ok mulgee, 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 automo- bile. He is said to be Cecil Towery
 brother of Bill Towery.
 One of the posses late tonight captured a third negre, Jessie Scott, who declared he saw the 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.
 Vaughn's throat had been cut, his head almost severed from his shoulders, and the car was splashed with blood. He had been robbed and his pockets turned in- side out.
 Okmulgee, Okla, August 4.-Hundreds of armed Ilen. many with rifles and shotguns, tonight surrounded the county jail here, demanding that Cecil Towery a negro, held on the charge of murdering Charles Vaughn, an oil man, near Hoff- man today, be surrendered to them. As the officers attempted to control the mob, pleading with them and threa tening them word was received that another mob was on it's way from Morris, a town 10 miles away, to reinforce the mob here.

PREMIER APPLAUDED

The premier was applauded when he said that the entente allies were consider ing how to deal with German atrocities
 He concluded by stating that all the all lied army staffs were agreed that the prospects for victory had never been so bright and that the final result of their victory would be "a great partnership of nations in the joint pursuit of freer and fuller life for the countless millions. who by the efforts and sacrifices of genera tion after generation have maintained progress and enriched the inheritance of humanity.
 Andrew Bonar Law, minister of state for the colonies, characterized the war as the most wicked the world had ever seen and declared Germany had forever lost the advantages many years Of prepa- ration had given it.
 "The tolls are closing around them,''
 the minister said. Ut is useless to talk about the latest German atrocities. We
 must realize that something like a wild beast is at large. There is no good in appealing to the civilized world about it. There is only one thing to be done and we can do it-shoot it."
 MT. Bonar Law read messages from General Louis Botha, premier of South Africa, and Lieutenant General Shuts, commander of the South African forces, urging the continuance of the war with determination.
 The resolution moved by Premier As- quith was carried by exclamation

NAVY SUPREME

NAVY SUPREME
 Our navy" continued the premier, with its ever tightening grip, is throt- ting the life out of Germany and never in history has there been such demon- strative proof of the supreme importance of the command of the sea. The enemy Is everywhere on the defensive In no theatre has he attempted to regain the initiative and there are signs of his mate rial weakening and exhaustion. That is all the more reason why the allies should cooperate and maintain the struggle with increasing intensity and unfailing will
 The recrudescence of deliberate and calculated barbarity on the part of Ger many indicates her sense of desperation. The record of her latest atrocities will blacken and has even besmirched the an- nals Of the German army. Nor can we forget the great infamy directed against ourselves in the judicial murder of Cap tain Fryatt, which has stirred the in- dlgnation and outraged the conscience of the whole world

The Rumanians claim to have won an
advantage in the Buzeu Valley, while,
well to the north, near the junction point
OF the Rumanian and Russian fronts,

GRECIAN FLOTILLA
SEIZED BY FRENCH

London, Nov. 7.-Reuter's Athens cor
respondent says 1t is reported from Pat
ras that the French flag was hoisted on
the Greek light iotilla at Keratsini. The
Greek government last week refused to
permit the entente to use this fotilla
for submarine defense on the ground
that 1t would be equivalent to a de-
parture from neutrality.
The entente powers have lent 81 ,0Oo 900
to the provisional government at Sa-
loniki. according to an Athens dispatch.
The Athens and Ionian Bank has re-
ceived an order to advance a preliminary
sum of this amount to the Venizelist
officials and charge it to the account of
the entente powers.

BEET INDUSTRY THRIvEs.
Imports of Seed Larger This Year
by Million Pounds.

Great activity in the sugar-beet indus
try in this country is foreshadowed by
the recent record-breaking imports of
sugar-beet seeds. Figures made public
by the Bureau OF Foreign and Domestic
Commerce. OF the Department of Com
merce. Indicate that for the nine months
ended September 80 the imports of seed
reached a total Of eighteen and one-half
million pounds, which is a million pounds
more than were imported during the COM
plete calendar years 1913 and 1914 and
nearly double those for the full year 1912.
Before the war Germany was the chief
source of sugar-beet seeds. but the trade
Is now in the hands of the Russians. In
the fiscal year 1914 Germany supplied
nearly 100000 pounds out of a total of
IL. .225,OOO pounds, the remainder coming
chiefly from Austria-Hungary, Russia and

Plan II new PLANTS
FOR PAPER OUTPUT
-Four to Be Erected in 1917. Trade
Commission Learns.

The Federal Trade Commission in its
recently conducted investigation OF the
paper famine" found that eleven new
plants for the production Of paper were
being contemplated, four of which were
to be placed in operation during the COM
ing year and the other three the year fol-
lowing.
At present so per cent of the paper pro-
duced in the United States is turned out
by thirty concerns, operating forty-five
mills, and the addition of the eleven
new plants will greatly relieve the papet
famine situation now confronting the
country.
The findings of the commissions in
vestigation will not, 1t is believed, re-
suit In any immediate reduction in the
ccst OF paper. In fact, there is a likeli-
hood Of greater price being asked when
new contracts are made for next year.
