OLD ORDER CHANGETH
Oklahoma Prohibits Roping Contests
and Buffalo Hunts.

Oklahoma City, Oct 13.-Roping
contests and old time buffalo hunts
as sport or exhibitions are to be pro-
hibited in Oklahoma, where only a
few years ago the boundless plains of
the Sooner state formed the play
ground of the yelling cowboy, the I'M
ruly broncho and the believing bison.
Governor Williams, following similar
action in preventing a buffalo hunt
in Woodward county, has ordered
the attorney of Usage county to pro-
Iibit proposed roping contest on the
strength of an opinion by Attorney
General Freezing.
Quoting from Mr.. Freeling's opin-
ion, the governors letter said.
1.-The day of the yelling cowboy and
the boundIess plain is gone. The
lariat is almost curiosity to the chill
dren of this day. Conditions are such
that these things are no longer nee
essary. The plains are fenced up; the
cattle are kept at home and domes-
ticated; the bFoncho has been bred
into a draft horse; the six shooter
has gone with the jangling bells and
savage yells of the cowboy, to be
heard no more. Even as sport. much
less as a necessity, the roper has de-
parted from our civilization"

FOOD PLEDGES WAIT
Hoover Campaign Postponed to Oct.
IS; Interfered With Liberty Bonds.

Washington, Oct 13.-Food pledge
week. set for October 81 to 81. has
been postponed to the week of Octo
Der. 20 to November 4, by Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover, at the request of
President Wilson, so that it will not
conflict with the final week of the
second liberty loan drive.
The president, in his letter to the
food administrator, said that it
ceemed to him undesirable, in the in
terest of both these capital matters"
that they should be in motion at the
same time, and he laid emphasis upon
the Importance of the work of en-
rolling the people of the nation in
food conservation.
Plans had been laid by the food
administration to have its corps of
500, 600 workers in the food. pledge
campaign assist in the flotation of the
liberty loan while enrolling families
under the food administration and
these will be carried out The presi-
dent, in his letter, said he wished par
ticularly to express his appreciation of
the service which this additional tax
upon their time will impose on the
volunteer workers.

BIG STRIKE ORDER
Confined from Page One,


orators insisted fines should be effect
i've when imposed under the provisions
of the old agreement
An agreement was reached concern
ing the advance in thick vein mines.
This agreement affects most of the
miners but does not insure relief
against a strike or general walk out.
Under the new agreement, the OPP
orators consent to advance the ton
rate ten cents to all miners working
on a ton basis, All wage earners en-
ployed by the day would receive SIS
for their labor instead of $3.50 &C
cording to the new agreement. But
operators and miners were far apart
on all other provisions.
Trouble In Usage District.
Practically every mine in the Usage
district has been shut down since early
summer. Once. following a threat by
Governor Capper that the state would
operate the mines, the operators ten
dered him the mines. But no coal was
dug under state supervision. When
the new federal rate was made effect
i've, it was declared the field could not
be operated on the federal basis.
Since that time Harry A Garfield fed
eral fuel administrator, increased the
Usage rate from $3.50 to "a a ton
Yet the mines have failed to reopen.
Now strike is threatened in the
Cherokee-Crawford county fields
where Kansas produces nearly 5000
600 tons of coal a year. During the
last few months labor troubles and a
car shortage at the mines has caused
the district to operate about two
thirds of the time. Advances in wages
also failed to produce more coal.
A shut down of the southeastern
Kansas field will practically tie DIP the
domestic coal supply for this state.
Even short time strike, would be dis
astrous as the supply of coal in stor
age is very limited.

No Censorship on NIutiny.
The hind sight of the government
regarding the effect of the naval Moi

London Oct 13.-The strongest
proof that Germanys submarine cam

probation today of the news of Ger
man Minister of Marine Won Capelle's
resignation.
Berlin dispatches received via Hol-
land declared the man who Grand
Admiral Won Tirpitz, father of sea

first for permitting conditions to exist
in the navy under which such nut

in for the radicals displeasure when
he Joined what apparently the liberal
Elements in Germany have begun to
realize was an attempt at a coup to
bolster up Michaelis' fight for Vice
Chancellor Helfferich.
Lengthen Reichstag Recess.
The greatest interest was manifest
here today in why the German reich
stays adjournment period was length
ened so much beyond the usual recess
period. The German parliament ad-
jouTned Thursday not to meet again
until December 5. 1t was believed here
that Chancellor Michaelis realized his
failing grip on the majority and put
over a long recess period to postpone
a showdown and his possible fall.
Other evidences have been trick
ling out of Germany of late indicating
gradual realization by the public of
the failure of the submarine warfare,
despite the glowingly optimistic state
ments Of government heads. One rea-
son for the open outbreak at Will
helmshaven, according to one report
was the naval policy of forcing sailors
to work in submarines. One Holland
dispatch asserted that a number of
sailors who refused this hazardous
duty had been severely punished
That this spirit of mutiny is still
prevalent was indicated in another re-
port of the execution of four or five
men for the same reason.

well as the future of Chancellor Mi

then.

and some good sized lines were said to
have been dumped for local traders whose
margins were exhausted. Eastern traders
were large sellers at one time.
There has been immense covering by
shorts at a good profit. Some predict a
further bulge but do not expect II will
hold
Wet weather was against the bears but
government regulations are adverse to the
bulls. The government wants lower prices
for hogs and with cheaper corn its object
may be secured.
Many traders were bearish in oats on
the theory that should corn decline oats
may not be able to remain as strong as
they have been COR several days. The
country is not selling oats freely and there
is a disposition among a few large op-
orators to buy on declines. .
Cash handlers fear that the export de-
mand may shut off at any time in prefer
ence to Canadian oats.

DEFENDS DIPLOMACY
ASK America" Says BRAND in An
swering Deputies Interpolation.

Paris, oct. 13.-The diplomacy of
France was defended eloquently by
former Premier BRAND in the cham
Der of deputies today during an in
terpellation on French diplomatic ac
ton during the war. NJ. BRAND said
the work of French diplomats must
be judged by the results of Germany's
ultra modern diplomacy, which has
brought the brand of infamy on that
country's good name. After Great
Britain and Italy had taken their
place beside France, there had come
Japan, Rumania, "the great and noble
country, the United States. and almost
every country in the world"
ASK America about our diplomatic
action declared the former premier
I defy you to find anything humilir
