GRIFFITH NARROWLY
ESCAPES DEATH IN RAID.

BY the narrowest OF margins D. W.
Griffith, the noted film producer, es-
capped death in one of the recent air
plane invasions of London. One of
the bombs, dropped by the Germans
fell on the roof of a low building In
which he was engaged at the time and
destroyed everything in the building
but the human life.
Griffith recently returned to Lon
don from the French front, where he
was engaged in photographing actual
battle scenes. ON Friday, the night o.
the invasion, he was showing q test
of some OF the films to William Bur
lock and other members of his staff
new in London.
The bomb, which crashed through
the roof, shattered the building and
destroyed the picture machine and the
film, but fortunately none OF the men
present was injured. In a cable dis
patch received at Griffith's office the
facts were briefly outlined.
Fortunately the film was not sac,
rificed because the negative was stor.
ed away ir another building.

Blackfoot Purchaser Thinks
Motion of State Auditor
Presented to Land Board

Purchased State Land at Re
cent Sales Under Competi-
tive Bidding and Forced
Resale Would Work a
Hardship on Many.

Complaints are beginning to be
heard from purchasers of state lands
at recent sales IN the southeastern
part Of the state, over which there has
been criticism, against the resale of
all the lands as moved by State Au-
ditor Clarence Van Deusen at a re-
cent meeting of the land board. The
state auditor introduced the motion
thinking that it would clear up the en-
tire episode, but it was not offered as
a criticism of Land Commissioner l.
A. Smoot, who conducted the sale.
One of the extensive purchasers OF
these lands was h. H. Weaver, of
Blackfoot. In q letter protesting against
the resale of all of the lands disposed
of, to the governor, Mr.. Weaver says:

WOULD INCONVENIENCE.

"Other parties together with myself
purchased nearly section of state
land in Jefferson county at the recent
sale, and have already entered into ne
gotiations for water and to dispose of
some of this land, and it would be eX-
tremely embarrassing for us If the state
land board would undertake to cancel
the sale Of state lands sold at Rigby,
Idaho, In its entirety. There was com
petitive bidding on each legal subdi-
vision that we purchased, and there
was not a bid made higher than the
bid we bought it for. and no question

tinuously from the 18th of this month
to the latter part of December. and
to be compelled to attend another sale
would greatly inconvenience me.
81 am sure there cannot be the
slightest question raised as to this land
being fairly sold on the Gath inst, for
Mr.. Smoot did not know me, nor had
l ever met the land commissioner, and
therefore, no favoritism likely to occur
II might state here that some of this
land purchased by us was bid in by
me as high as $50 an acre, which
shows that there was competitive bid
ding.
Some time ago it was suggested by
the attorney general that the land that
Mr. Severson purchased and which
was protested by Mr.. Domain, be re-
sold, and I think no doubt that is the
proper remedy where a question has
arisen, but in case like ours where
this land we purchased was sold and
bid on and no complaint whatever
made, that it is hardly right, fair nor
legal to cancel the sale in it's en-
tirety as suggested by Mr.. Van Deu-

TENER HAS PLAN TO

Would Increase Plate Width
and Let Sticker 60 to
First on Three Balls.

NEW YORK. Jan. 3O.-Presidcnt
John Is. Tencr Of the National league
said today that he viii submit TO the
Joint rules committee which meets
mere next month, a recommendation
TO increase the width OF the home
plate from II 10 Is inches and send
batsman to first base on three balls
instead Of four. Such change in
the rules. he declared. would bring
about the desired increase in batting.
Il believe simply sending a batsman
10 first base on three balls instead of
four would be too great change and
would throw the balance too much in
favor Of the batsman." Tencr said.
by widening the plate an inch. how
ever, the pitcher would have better
opportunity Of getting the bali over.
but such change would be about
two-thirds in favor Of the batsmau. %
Tener also declared himself in ia
vor of abolishing exhibition games bv
major league clubs on their home
grounds prior to the opening of the
season.
Il have no objection to teams play
ing exhibition games in the south. q"
he said, but ! do not think major
league parks should be reopcned un.

MAYOR TAKES CHANCE
WITH CITYS MONEY
City's Chief Executive Carries
100000 Under Arm and
"Dodges Gunmen."

Mayor John H. Simmons is In favor
Of the present city administration.
This fact leaked out yesterday when
he Informed callers that he had re
turned to the city over which he
prosides as chief executive after Il
visit to Oklahoma city and that he
walked from the depot to his waiting
automobile with 100000 in bonds
tucked under his arm and was not
held up en- route.
The impression the mayor desired
to leave. he announced. was not that
he was permitted to carry the pack
age Of $500. 900, but that none of the
gang" of stick ups which are report
ed to be infesting the city held him up
while he was walking more than a
block. He admitted that the safety
accorded him was due solely TO the
police.
The return of Mayor Simmons to
Tulsa with the bonds most recently
approved by the attorneys general puts
the city's chief executive in a class
by himself as bond mayor.
Since he has assumed control Of
the city he has placed in the vaults of
the city $75O.O0O worth OF bonds and,
as he announced yesterday, had given
the people of Tulsa the money to
spend.
His first attempt to put thru some
bonds was the issue of $325.000 for
the city hall boulevard system and
sewer system. Later he found that
there was some difficulty about get
ting the attorney generals ok on
the watcrworks, incinerator, water
main and fire station bonds.

To the amount of 100000 and the
Sl25,OOO issue for the improvement
OF Kendall came about in the same
way. And not one dollar of the bonds
has been taken from the mayor Hy

cheney of the department.

new bunch of fellows into a fighting
squad. with the occasional use of :.

year. The fellows are improving rap
idly under the stiff working, and tn"

matched and are both out for the
bacon.
