WOMAN SENATOR VISITS

Helen Ring Robinson, Official
Food Conservation Lecturer,

Helen Ring Robinson OF Colorado
the first woman state senator ever
to be elected in the United States. is
at Hotel Tulsa ITO get something tc

towns"
Mrs. Robinson has been appointed
official lecturer by the commercial
economy board OF the council Of ma
tional defense and is seeking thru
chautauqua lecture courses to arouse
the interest Of the American women
In the great movement OF food con-
servation.
DRY all you can and what you
can't can" is her paraphrasing OF
the old admonition 10 be used In the
present crisis. For Mrs. Robinson be-
lieves in conserving the glass and tin
and fuel used IN canning, as well as
the food itself.
"Apricots. peaches. raspberries and
many other fruits are infinitely bet
ter as to flavor when preserved by
drying than they are when canned
said Mrs. Robinson. while the dry
ing Of peas. beans and other vege-
tables is a comparatively simple
process compared to their canning
Much canned food is going 10 fer

Sensible Woman. Too.
Mrs. Robinson is a suffraget, but
does not approve of the action OF the
women in Washington and scores

became actually dangerous. as evil

She does not believe that women
should stop equal suffrage agitation

that now is the time OF all times
when they should DC granted their

She has travelled in the warning

her conscience when she voted against

small consequence. Why. she says
Il have seen men In legislative session

Surely a woman with tender heart

SUIT AGAINST LINN
FILED BY GRASSLAND
Thot to Be Result of Alterca-

~ Jail for contempt OF court, Cross

injunction against Walter Machin and
Billy Miles to prevent them from
operating a roadhouse near Tulsa.
Grassland was representing the de-

land, who retorted. Judge Linn fined
him SIS, then additional fines of $40,

STRENUOUS TIME IN
WOLVERINE OIL CASE
100000 Suit Goes to Trial
After Fight by Plaintiff
to Continue Hearing.

After an all-day fight yesterday on
the part OF the plaintiff corporal ton
TO secure the postponement OF the
case. the trial OF the famous Wolver-
inc Oil company case. involving the
title to petroleum leases worth $780,
600. will begin in earnest at s o'clock
this morning before Judge y. E. Nc
Nell in district court.
The suit is one instituted epme time
ago by the Wolverine OIL company 10
secure possession OF some property
near jerks. known as the CLANCY
Parks allotment. The land is now held
by William Parks and others. The
lease is in the possession of w. II.
Gray. Conn Linn and the firm OF
Reason & Harris.
Down to Fine Points.
The case has been in several courts.
having already had two trials and
much subsidiary litigation. So long
and intense has the contest been that
1t has narrowed to the very finest
points. and contingent Of able law
yers represent each side.
The first trial Of the case was In
January. at which time n verdict was
returned for the defendants A motion
lbi llFN u ldl was lIlSll-
tuted and was allowed. The second
hearing was conducted last month. a
hung jury being the result. Judge Nc
Nell then set the case for retrial yes
terday.
Last Friday attorneys for the VOL
VERNE company appeared before Judge
McNeill in Pawnee and petitioned for
a change of judges at this new trial.
Judge McNeill overruled the motion,
and ordered the plaintiff TO appear for
trial on the date set.
When the case was called yesterday
J Orning, the Wolverine representatives
instituted motion for change Of
venue to some other district, alleging
that the influence of Judge Linn. who
Is one of the defendants, would de-
feat the purposes OF justice The mo-
ton was overruled after considerable
argument.
Osborn Can't Come.
Nothing daunted. the plaintiff came
forward with motion for continu-
ance of the case to some future date.
As grounds for this petition, the cor
poration representatives alleged that
their prosecution would be consider
ably weakened by the absence Of AL
bert 5. Osborn, a noted handwriting
expert Of New York, who was called
In the last hearing to testify as to some
deeds in question. Mr. Osborn's alb
sence is due to the death OF one of his
sons last week while in service in the
American ambulance field service in
France.
Af:ar consideration. Judge Mcneil
also disallowed this motion, and was
Immediately presented with a motion
TO discharge the special venire OF fifty
1urymen. who had been called for the
trial The plaintiff alleged that the
court was acting out Of its jurisdic-
ton In ordering the special panel.
The motion was overruled. The
court then began the tedious task of
empapeling the jury. which took the
rest OF the afternoon. Statements of
counsel were given just before the ad-
Journment of court. 1t Is probab
that two or more days will be taken
by the case.

VI beHtIhtiohh we nave elofled IN

come twice from one source-Eng-

iunconsclously come to regard a dis
trust Of everything British as a part
of our patriotic duty To make mat
| ters more so, large portion Of our
population has come from the Emer-
aid Isle with It's long record Of grudges
against the government Of Britain and
our reverence for the Stars and Stripes

Besides this. within the memory Of
many now living. we have seen this

small and weak peoples for causes no
greater than commercial interest or

Anglo Saxon race.
No wonder then that II has taken
as long time to realize that Britain
has really and truly undertaken TO be
the champion Of weak nations against

indignation for the rape OF Belgium

Britain in the laudable struggle to
stay the tide OF militant feudalism

that our ideals have changed. but the
alignment is new and almost unthink-
able TO the student OF history. The
great conflict between human rights
and special privilege is on in all its
overwhelming terror. and we are lined
up side by side with our ancient en-
emy in defense Of the right.
All the sins We have been able 10
lay TO the charge OF Britain have been
paled by the atrocities which have
been perpetrated in the name OF
Kaiser Wilhelm, and We have learned
that the real menace to our nation.
