EXPECT A PEACE MOVE
Washington Officials, However, Be- lieve 1t Will Be Effort to Show
 Germany Victor.

Washington, Aug. Germany will make a big peace move this fall, officials here believe. They eau ton that it probably will be as pre- viously made in Germany-a move for peace which would place the kaiser in the light of victor before his people.
 President Wilson discourages peace talk at this time, Officials admit the nation would listen to a serious bona flde peace proposal now or at any time, but, from the information in possession of the government, Germany has no inten- tion of making such proffer and any she now makes will have a joker somewhere i'll it.

BISHOP SAYS WORRY IS SINFUL
More People Destroyed by it Than ny Rum or Vice, He Maintains

New York, Aug. 5--lt is no more sinful to drink yourself into the gutter than to worry yourself into the grave, in the opinion of the Rt Rev. Charles F.. Woodcock, Episcopal bishop of Kentucky, who delivered an address here last night at the cathedral of st. John the Divine
 People are getting life badly mixed up, he said. They are short ening their lives by ten years by senseless worry. Wory weakens the heart and hardens the arteries. People are carried away by the mis- taken idea that they can't live with- out worry.
 Worry is an evil. It destroys more than rum or vice Il is as sin full as drinking or gambling. It's a guilty, sinful, cowardly thing de- noting personal weakness"

 tured.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 5.-With one of their leaders dead, another cap tured and at least Twenty-Five of their bands in the hands of peace officers, posse leaders last night were of the opinion the rising of the objectors to the selective draft in 'Central Oklahoma was under con- trol. The outlaws have been scat tered into such small bands that further successful residence is be- lieved impossible Sheriff Grail of Seminole County said last night he believed that Sunday night he could handle the situation with a small force of men.
 Wallace Cargill, alleged leader of one of the bands, shot thru the stomach yesterday afternoon when officers encountered objectors near Rocky Point, died a short time later. Three others beside Cargill are said to have been captured
 Sheriff Grail on his drive south east of Wew0ka captured a man giving the name of Boggs, said to be leader of the armed forces, hidden under a fence, armed with two high powered rifles and we'll supplied with ammunition He surrendered without offering resistance and a lynehing was narrowly averted by cooler heads of the posse A section foreman on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad brought in two men he claimed to have found yesterday near bridge.
 Women Helped the POssemen.
 The women of Sasakwa, a village of about 250 have not been lacking in their efforts to make the man hunt successful Late yesterday a vacant store was commandeered and the tired possemen were given a lunch which must have robbed eV- cry fruit cellar in the community.
 In the federal district court here late yesterday the demurrer to the indictments of the eleven members of the Jones Family an anti-draft organization, was overruled by Judge John H Cotterel Bail in each case was fixed at S7,500 Trial of the men will be in Enid early in Sep tember.
 A near -lynching occurred yester- day afternoon in the Lone Dove neighborhood when a posse caught objectors, the two McNeeley boys John Gray and an old man and a negro. In their efforts to get infor- nation regarding the movements oi the recalcitrants, one of the McNee- ly boys was strung up with a rope around his neck. Called to tell what he knew of the obiectors' plans he refused to talk, and the possemen cut him down and with the other prisoners took him to Sasakwa,
 Between Konawa and Sasakwa C. c. Brewer and his son and Robert Cargill were taken prisoner.
