EASTER THRONGS AT
ALL CHURCH SERVICES

Tulsa came forward with ven
geance Easter and broke all records
for the observance of that day. Every
church in the city was crowded at
each service, the community vesper
services at Convention hall had good
gathering and there WAS n general de
Vout air about the entire city.
One Of the most striking events OF
the day was the asemblage of the Tul-
sa commandery of knights Templar
and its march to the First Christian
church where they listened to the
Easter sermon. They were in full
uniform, as is the custom Of the day.
But the Knights Templer were not
the only ones who were bedecked in
all their finery The ideal weather,
clever window trimmers and general
wave of prosperity seemed to have
combined forces to dress Tulsa up
for the spring. Straw hats were in
abundance. winter suits we're the OBJ
iect of mirth. and 1t is rumored that
one man displayed his palm beach

Convention NM was comfortably
filled Sunday afternoon at the COM

was featured by an excellent musical
entertainment and address by Judge

that the event will be made an an

the gathering can hardly be meas
ured.
Taking his theme from the oc-
casion which inspired the service
Judge Williams told the old story in
an entirely new and refreshing man
ner From the eyes of layman he
traced the origin of Easter and the
particular events about the resurrec-
ton of Christ.
Albert N. HoXie. celebrated musi-
clan of Kansas city. gave three pop

the musical program. Mr.. HoXie was
only scheduled for one selection on
the program, but the audience de-
manded two others
Professor John Knowles Weaver
interspersed the program with num-
bers on the large pipe organ. His
closing number was the Hallelujah

Mrs. James Mcconnell sang

led the congregational singing which
made the hall rumble with echoes.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April "a
Another chapter was adde today to
the long drawn-out controversy over

straining order to prevent the secre-
try of the interior from approving any

The injunction PROCEEDINGS are said
to be aimed particularly at The

dians express great dissatisfaction at
the results of the recent sale of 16,-
coo acres of producing territory at
Pawhuska in which no bidders ap-

the Gypsy Oil company, which is con-
s!dered the cream of the Osage fields.
A member OF The Usage council de-
clared tonight that the injunction

department officials last June that

would carry their fight to congress
and that the Indians would get the
worst of IT, An attempt to have the
oil properties appraised was also
scoffed at by department officials. II
is said on the grounds that the work
entailed would be enormous.
This is the first time on record. II
is said, that the Osages have ever
fought the wishes and desires of the
interior department and the result of
the court proceedings will be watched
with consuming interest by on men
throughout the United states, many
of whom are said to be willing to Of

the June resolution provides shall be

Henry Kolker is the featured

question entitled THE Warning"
While extravagant adjectives are
frequently used in reference TO pic
lures and players, il is a conceded
fact by the most experienced photo
play critics that Mr.. Kolker is one
of the most talented actors for the
screen. In this present production
he is given unusual opportunities in
the character of a man who is
standing at the brink Of an abyss,
and in every way the phOto-drama
is forcefuly realistic and thoroughly
entertaining The chief merit of the
picture is its extraordinary value an
an entertainment. and il is said that
it's dramatic and artistic appeal is
irresistible.
