UNITED STATES WILL
ATTEND TO ORGANIZER
Francik's EFFECTS Seized and
Literature Found; War
rant Is Issued.

John H. Whalen, Uuited States Sc
cret service agent OF the department
or justice, yesterday seized the bag
gnge and personal effects of Westine
Francik, the Austrian J. w. W. organ
lZer who was arrested several days
ago by Policeman Carmichael and
has been held in the city Jail since.
search warrant was sworn out by
Whalen and Francik's baggage was
eNams1eh. The government agent de
clined TO state what -he found, but he
evidently found enough to determine
him to have FrancA held to the fed
eral grand jury, for he notified the
police to hold him for the govern
ment and under no circumstances to
release him.
Find discriminating Evidence.
The raid on ]. w. w. headquarters
at Augusta Kan. Wednesday may
prove a valuable one in obtaining evi-
dence against Francik, as the officers
who conducted it announced that they
found incriminating evidence against
number of |. w. WIS who are oper-
ating in Oklahoma.
Since Francik had admitted that
he Is national organizer of the de-
structionists 1t is believed that facts
will develop from the Augusta raid
that Will be of great benefit to the
government in Francik's prosecution
1t is very likely that a warrant will
be issued against him, charging him
with violating the federal army draft
act and companion Legislation, oppos-
ing the governments Var measures,
fomenting dissension and trying to
nullify the efforts to raise the new
army.
The penalty for violating this act
is severe and in no case can a fed
eral prison sentence be escaped If a
conviction results.
Is I'm City Jail.
Francik has been spending his time
in the city jail haranguing the pris
oncrs and when they will listen to
him, making speeches to the officers,
defending himself and protesting his
innocence.
Whalen took possession of his pa
pers and literature and will hold them
until his case is settled.
Since Francik's arrest and the "tar
and feather party by the knights
of Liberty" l. w. w. activity in Tulsa
seemE to have subsided considerably
but the government and city officials
and the Home Guards have not abated
their vigilance. They are on the watch
for ary suspicious move on the part
of the destructive element and the
first step toward disorder will be
nipped.

School Propositions

The regular call for the annual
school election will be found 10
THE BLADE today. In addition to
the regular levy of $1.00 on each
$4,000 assessed valuation of the
district to maintain the schools for
the ensuing year, the board is
asking for a special levy Of Is
cents for maintenance of building
and grounds and necessary ad-
ditions to the library and equip
ment. In order to keep the school
at its present standing, a first class
high school, it takes all the reve-
nue. the regular levy brings in for
teachers salaries during the nine
months term. Each year there is
more or less repairing and cleaning
to be done on the buildings and
grounds and the board is asking
for this special levy to take care of
these Incidental expenses for the
two years. Another proposition it
will be noticed is for free text
books in the first four grades.
This expense is fully met from the
state aid for that purpose which is
not now being received.
