Formal notice of the sale of the worlds stampion Boston American League Baseball Club was sent to club owners in the junior organiza- ton by President Ban Johnson, the Johnson notice following the an nouncement made by Joseph Lannin that he had disposed of his club to Harry II. Frazee of New York and Hugh Ward of Philadelphia:
 "The club is not officially sold until the deal is ratified by the league as a whole" said Johnson in Chicago. "Final action on the matter will probably not be taken for couple of weeks" There will be no hitch in the transaction, how ever. it is understood.
 The sum of $675,OOO was realized by Lannin for his holdings in the club. This fact, not disclosed at the dinner party where he made the formal announcement. but officially after the diners had left the table. Apparently, it was to have been kept quiet for awhile; but, a good dinner-and good things on the side will sometimes cause tongues to wag.
 The news Of the sale was broken by I-annin at a dinner given in Bos- ton last week to the new owners and 10 party of newspapermen. The retiring head of the club said that the papers had been signed but q half-hour before the dinner bell rnnr-

PUSH ACTIVITY
AT Fl. THOMAS
War Department Decision to
Hold Troops Does Not Stop
- Kentucky Preparation.

Fort Thomas, KY, Aug. 16.-De-
spite the indefinite suspension of
troop movements to the border be-
cause of the threatened railroad strike,
officers of the Kentucky brigade will
go right ahead with preparations in
order to be ready to entrain on a
moments notice.
The best opinion here is that the
suspension represents the combined
result of three considerations. First
the railroad situation might quite
conceivably develop along line that
would halt the movement Of troops
before it was completed. Second
strike might also bring about insur'
mountable difficulties in getting ra.
tons to the troops on the border,
And third-should a general and
violent strike eventuate, the state
guards might be needed for service
in their home states.

PIPE MAKERS BUY
LAUREL ROOTS
From The Forest Service, U.
S. Department Of Agri-
culture.

Washington, Aug. ia sale OF a
large quantity of mountain laurel roots
from one of the National Forests in
the Southern Appalachians is report
ed by officials in charge, who says the
roots will be used to make pipes.
The mountain laurel root is similar
n appearance ito the French briar,
which the majority of pipe smokers
are said to prefer. The French briar
is the root of the white heath or
'bruyere. These roots are gather
ed in large quantities, and after being
cleaned and sawed into blanks they
are placed in hot water and simmer
ed for IL hours or more. This pro-
cess gives them the rich hue for which
the best pipes are noted. 1t is said
that in 1915 the value of the blanks
shipped to this country was almost
$500, 900, and in addition large num-
Der of finished pipes were imported.
On account of the present scarcity and
high price of French briar, number
of pipe manufacturers in this country
have been on the,lookout for substi-
tuteS.

TO ANNUL
MARRIAGE
Suit Filed to. Dissolve Alleg-
ed Fraudulent We'd
ding.
Copyright Hart Schaffner & Marx

A sensational petition praying the
annulment and dissolution of the mar
riage of Miss Verna West, aged Is, to
Clint Powell, charging that the license
and marriage had been secured
through duress, deceit and fraud, and
should not be allowed, was filed in
Circuit Clerk Clark's office yesterday
morning by James B. Allensworth,
representing Breathitt, Allensworth &
Breathitt, attorneys for the girls faith
er, D. |. West.
The statement fled declares that on
July %, the girl an infant IN the sight
of the law, was taken into custody by
Ohio Powell and Mrs. Grady Pow
ell, relatives of Clint Powell. The
statement reads that Powell and his
two kinsmen, whom it calls cocoon
spirators with Powell, acting at his
connivance and planning, went with
Powell and the girl to GAINESVILLE.
The girls father, in an attempt to
check the marriage of his daughter
had telephoned to the clerks office
there and the license was refused.
The clipping party then sped to Spring
field where, the petition says, by
swearing the girl was sixteen, a Ii
cense was secured and the man and
young girl were married.
On their return home the father
met them and separated them, taking
his daughter back to his home and
not allowing her to live with Powell.
The father will make vigorous ef'
fort to have the marriage contract
declared invalid because, he alleges,
it was gained by deceit. The case for
annulment and dissolution OF mar
rage is one of most unusual that has
come up here in many years.

The German bombardment
of Verdun has been taken up
with redoubled intensity ac-
cording to both official and un-
official reports, indicating that
the Germans have succeeded in
bringing up their larger guns
to that region.
The French lines held firm
according to a Paris official
statement and at some places it
was claimed that the Germans
had been driven back with
cruel losses, although generally
holding the advanced position
in the face of strenuous counter
attacks.
The German attack shifted
to the north of Verdun where
they have taken the village of
Douamont.
The village of Vaux was at
tackled by the Germans unsuc-
cessfully, according to Paris re-
ports.
The intense bombardment
continues in the Woevre dis
trict. Elsewhere there has been
little activity.
Berlin says one thousand
prisoners and number of
heavy guns were taken when
the Germans swept Douamont
village.

WHO
ATTACKED Mrs.
PAYNE, CRAZY
OFFICERS SAY SEVERAL NEGROES
IDENTIFIED HIM AS A STRAIN
GER WHO ACTED QUEER. CUL-
PRIT is STILL AT LARGE.

From investigation of the officers
assigned to hunt down the negro that
assaulted Mrs. James Payne day be-
fore yesterday, il is proven beyond
question that the negro was crazy Sey-
eral people saw him previous to the
assault, and the negroes all say that
he was stranger and acted very
queer He was continually talking
about wood yards and chOpping wood,
and told one negro with whom he was
riding that he owned wood yard in
Ardmore and was seeking a supply
for his customers.
Deputy CHM who knows every ne
gro in the Caddo bottoms, stated this
morning that he believed the stories
told him about the negro. He says
the negroes in all the settlements
along the river were anxious to cap
ture the culprit and felt sure that he
had followed the course of Caddo to
a railroad crossing, and probably was
far away by this time.
A close watch is being kept in all
directions, however, and if captured,
he will be returned here to answer
for his crime.

NEW RAILROAD
WAY Be BUILT

CAPITAL CITY is ANXIOUS AND
BENDING EVERY EFFORT TO

PROPOSED ROAD.

The following item from The Okla

est, and is given for what it is worth.
1t might not be out of place, how
ever, in passing, to remind those in
terested in the growth of ArdmOre
that ''where there is smoke there is
fire" and that the cheapest and best
way to combat any competition is by
making ArdmOre the best place and
the easiest place in which to live
There are two great and growing
needs, both of which are being given
consideration now: A new hotel and
good road to the Gil fields.
THAT proposed railroad from
Ringling to Oklahoma City is perhaps
nearer realization than many people
believe said J. d. Shaffer, an Ard
more oil man, at the Skiryin.
From information that has come
to me. | believe that actual construc-
ton on the line will begin in a few
months. Moreover, it is the impress
ion among railroad men that back of
the proposition is the ultimate de-
sign of a new grain route from the
wheat belt to the gulf coast. In other
words, such a line might eventually
give the Union Pacific system a very
good short line to the gulf coast"

Washington, D. c., March 8.
BY a vote of siXty-eight to
fourteen, a greater majority
than was expected by the ad-
ministration forces in the SEN
ate. That body today tabled
the Gore warning resolution
and thereby finally quelled the
agitation which had embarrass-
ed President Wilson in his sub
marine negotiations with Ger
many.
The resolution, a substitute
by Senator McCumber, repub-
lican, and an attempt by Gore
to strengthen his original pro-
poSal, were defeated at one
time on roll call.
The fight has now been trans
ferred to the house. The result
of the vote in the senate is said
to be satisfactory to Wilson.
McCumber later introduced
substantially the same resolu-
ton as he offered as a substi-
tute for the Gore resolution and
it will go on the calendar. Gore,
himself, voted to table the reso-
luton.
Senators Chamberlain and
O'Gorman were the only demo-
Gratis who voted against the ad-
