Poteau, Okla, Nov. 7.--(Special.) y
An unusual story of crime was re-
Gently brought to light here when J.
w. Terry. formerly of this county,
and thought to have been murdered
ten years ago, was brought here
from Los Angeles by Sheriff Frank
Carter and charged with the murder
of the man whose body had been
identified as Terry's.
The murder, said at the time to be
that of J. w. Terry, occurred in
August of 1907, and in the trial that
followed Louis McKibben, a witness
for the state, swore that he saw
Frank Styles beat Terry to death.
Walter r. Bates and Willard Vaught
were held with Styles and charged
with completely in the killing of
Terry.
The first trial OF the three men re-
suited in a hung jury and when
Styles was acquitted at the second
trial the state dismissed its charges
against Bates and Vaught. McRib-
ben, the witness in the first trial,
has since acknowledged that his
story Of Terry's murder was untrue
and he is held. on a charge Of per-
jury.
Terry is now charged with the
murder OF John Doe" whose body
when found ten years ago was iden-
titled as Terry's. The authorities
are now bending every effort to Learn
the identity Of the man. John Doe
Terry has been released from Gus
tody pending further Developments.

GET READY FOR
ANOTHER DRIVE
Is NAVY ORDER
Military Branch $4,000
Short Present Allow
ed Complement
OFFICERS WARNED
AGAINST PL0TTERS
Accommodation Facilities
At Training Stations
Now In Shape

Because every division is falling
short Of the assigned quota and the
service Is doing little more than hold
.ing it's own. making just a few more
Nenlistments than are necessary to
compensate for the men being dis
charged, another drive for recruits
for the navy, similar to the one in
April, undoubtedly will be called for
in q very short time.
This district comprises what is
known as the central division, which
was the first to I'LL its quota in April
and May and made a showing which
surprised every one. Word has been
received at the local ONCE that every
step possible be taken Immediately
to get ready for the drive. The off,
Ger has been advised that there are
forces at work in this district not
only to discourage recruiting, but to
discourage all activities that have to
do with bringing the country sue
cessfully through the war. In every
case where the recruiting officer con-
siders that these activities are going
on in his district, he Is instructed to
get in touch with the department Of
Justice authorities and do his best to
locate the agents in these activities.
The last report received in this
CITY says I1EL II Is the IuLGnLlOn Oh
the navy department to ask congress
to authorize $4,000 more men in the
next session of congress. $4,000 per-
manent and $4,000 temporary; also
the report says it will be noted from
weekly reports that the navy Is still
$1,000 men short on the present al
lowed complement. When recruiting
was slowed up. 1t was slowed up on
account Of no facilities at training
stations or on board ships to take
care OF the men. These difficulties
have been, to q great extent, remed-
led, and the navy can now take care
Of more men than ii is getting al
the present time.
Because of the fact that a great
number Of radio men are still re-
quired in the naval service 1t has
been found advisable to enroll a con-
siderable number of men for instruc.
tion in radio. who have had no pre-
vious experience in radio work but
who are. because of eduction or for
mer experience in similar work, bet
ter material than the average en-
listed man.
College men, men having previous
experience as electricians, mechanics
or stenographers, are especially de-
sirable as they have in all cases prov
ed their ability to make exceptiona
progress.

The Crisis, with a full symphony
orchestra and sound effects will be
presented at the eOrpheum for the
week starting Nov. 10, in the same
elaborate manner in which the own
ers, the Sherman Elliott Co., staged
their former production, The Birth Of
q Nation.
Although dealing with the civil
war period, The Crisis follows a
wholly different trend from The
Birth of a Nation. It is q picturiza-
st. Louis in the dark and stormy
period OF the rebellion. and follows
faithfully the rich, romantic plot OF
the Churchill story. Abraham Lincoln
is an essential character in the I'M
travelling OF the tangled threads of
romance that involve the northern
hero and the southern heroine, and
Is not dragged into the play merely
for the sake of historical background.
History. indeed, lie so closely woven
with romance that It will take an ex-
pert student OF the period to discover
the line OF demarcation.
Among the striking scenes OF the
play are a slave auction in st. Louis,
where the hero and heroine first
meet and clash: the Lincoln Douglas
debate, amidst torchlight professions
and bonfires in the backwoods of
Illinois; the fall Of Ft. Sumter, with
the stars and stripes going down for
the first time before the cannonading
OF an internal foe; q meeting of Linz
coins cabinet to consider plans for
saving the union: and the battle OF
Vicksburg. fought in detail from both
the land and the river. The thread
OF Churchilla romance runs through
