three riotous outbreaks at the state
prison by 1000 convicts, who objected
to new rules enforced by Warden Bow
en-, a rain storm drove the last 200
OF the mutineers to the cell house, al
though they had stubbornly refused
to COW before the bayonets of national
guardsmen.
Fires set within the prison buildings

house, the lumber store building, a rat.

losses of $500, 900.
There were three riots, but disor-

first outbreak. All offenders are lock
ed in calls and Warden Bowen said
the strictest discipline will be en-
forced until the unruly spirit had been
smothered.
By the time the soldiers arrived
fires were set in several places and it
looked for a time as though the prison
would be destroyed.

nets and drive the men back, while
the fire department combatted the
flames.
In all 1000 convicts are locked up as
participants in the riots. These men
will be kept closely confined for some
time, as there is no place for them to
work at present, owing to the destruc.
ton and damage of buildings by fire.

n thing, all of us can support the
American Red Cross which is called
to a gigantic task. Never has the
nation been called upon to face such
large problems of relief, both military
and civilian. One million dollars a
month may be needed for care of de-
pendent families of soldiers alone. The
task of furnishing relief to the sick
and wounded will be one of the great
est magnitude. The Red Cross, which
has grown from a small organization
to a highly complex service not unlike
a department of the Government it.
self is the one organization best fit
ted to meet efficiently the great emer-
gency. 1t asks and deserves the sup
port in money and service of every
patriotic American.
Horace Fishback-A gentleman from
Chicago whom l met on the train at
the time of the great floods in and
around Dayton, Ohio, some three years
ago, said that she had had charge of
the collection and distribution of
funds, in Chicago, for the sufferers at
that time as we'll as on similar oc-
casions and that they had found that
funds turned over to the Red Cross
Society had been more economically
handled and that a greater per cent of
the funds turned over to them had
reached the places intended thai thru
any other channel" This certainly was
a great endorsement of the Red Cross
Society.
Dean G. L. Brown-There is more
suffering in the world at present than
at any other time since history began.
1t is our duty to alleviate this suffer
ing as far as we can; in fact, it is sim
full to be wasteful or enjoying luxuries
when millions of men, ONE and
children whom We can help are dying
from lack Of food and other aid. Some
self denial on the part of all of us. and
the results invested in Red Cross
wok. and we shall be not only better
Christians but truer Americans. When
we subscribe to this fund, we have the
satisfaction of knowing that our money
will be well spent.
President e. c. Perisho-Every loyal
American citizen, and this includes
our entire population, wishes to aid
the State and the Nation in this, our
country's crisis. The American Red
Cross, the Official agency for voluntary
service, offers to both men and women
an opportunity to efficiently serve their
country. The President, the Cabinet,
Congress, oficials of all our states
approve of and encourage the work of
this patriotic organization. No mat
ter our age. our creed. our political
party-all should accept the chance
to aid our soldiers and all those who
may suffer because Of this great war.
The Red Cross represents the self de-
uial and patriotic sacrifice Of men and
~omen and children who a not 60

likely to be far removed from any of
the serious conflicts of the war. Be-
ing thus favored we should not for
get our obligations to our country, but
should do all in our power to relieve
distress and suffering and / know of
no way of doing this so effectually as
by giving the Red Cross organization
u enthusiastic and loyal support. BY
so doing each of us will be rendering
a service to our country which though
small for the individual in the aggre-
gate will prove a mighty force for
good, for the relief of suffering and for
the benefit Of humanity.
Olaf Eidem-The brotherhood of
man is admittedly the chief element
of u modern civilization, the prin-
ciple upon which our government was
founded and to which we all sub
scribe. AS the only supporter of this
doctrine on the battle fields of Europe
is the Red Cross, every believer in
civilized government should subscribe
to its support.
Geo. w. CobeI-Many will give their
sons for the service of our country
and they will give more than any 9th
ers. Money is small compared with
service. But is needed to make ser
vice possible. The wounded, the de
pandant must be helped, must be cared
for. Don't wait to be asked, hand
your gift to the Red Cross at once
they will give the service and we will
furnish the funds.
M. e. culhane-No need is so great
as that of the soldier and Of his de
pendant ones. Possible pensions o.
insurance will not feed hungry mouths
The Red Cross will relieve the wants
of these needy dependents as well as
the sufferings of the wounded. 1t is
a work that needs our help to the
last effort, its special week must have
our support.
g. A. Mathews-No work is more
appealing to the American people
than this one, which reaches the hear
of every one in the nation. We rec
ognize our duty in giving it support
and it is the one universal work where
giving is done with pleasure O.. The mar
who aids the Red Cross is doubly re
paid in the giving.
NJ. q. cariisle-Our country need!
us to support the call for a world ser
vice. This service to the world call!
for denial. suffering and perhap!

must be a service of ministering. ant
the Red Cross is the only means b,
which this ministration can be effect

UNVEILED IN STATUARY HALL
Statue Of indian Alphabet Inventor
Placed In Capitol.

Placed In Capitol.
Washington. June IA statue Of
%Sequoyah, inventor Of the Cherokee
alphabet, was unveiled as Oklahoma's
first contribution to statuary hall at
the Capitol.
The entire Oklahoma congressional
delegation participated in the cere-
monies. Governor r. L. Williams
made the presentation address and
Speaker Clark made the speech Of ac-
ceptance. Miss Ahnawaze Hastings,
daughter Of Representative Hastings,

Sequoyah, whose English name was
George Guess, was the son Of q white
trader and q full blooded Cherokee
woman. His life among the Indians
made him familiar with the Cherokee
tongue and in 1921 he devised an al
phabet Of e~ighty-fve characters. His
accomplishment was unique. since he
never learned to read or write Eng
lish.
