TRICK WAS COSTLY TO HIM
Conjurer Who "Found" Coins on
Street Car Floor Forced by Con-
ductor to Turn Over Money.

A conjuror performing ut local
theater got on street car with two
members of his company, and after
while, moved by some sudden impulse,
he pretended to find sundry quarters,
STOPPING her and there, and producing
them from under the seats, on the
floor, anywhere, to the amazement OF
the passengers, says the Toronto Mall
His two friends laughted heartily at
the Joke. Not so, however, the conduc-
tor, who came forward and sternly de-
handed the twelve 25-cent pieces he
had "picked up" In order that he
might hand them over In accordance
with the regulations governing lost
property found in the cars.
In vain did the finder" protest that
1t was only coniuring trick. The
conductor obviously did not believe
him. And in the end in order to
avoid a compulsory visit to the police
station, he had to give up the coins.

TAX GREAT
viii Yield State $2,5OO,OOO for Year
With Oil as the Greatest Contributor
to Upkeep Of State

By United Press.
Oklahoma City, Jan. 2.-Oklahoma's S
three per cent gross production tax
will net the state approximately ST.
100000 for the year ending February
IA, the date on which the three per
cent tax became effective in 1916, ac-
cc~dsae to an-estimate made today by
T. ]. O'Neill, special tax clerk in the
state auditors office. Oil was by far
the largest contributor.
Basing the estimate on figures avail
able up to the close of the year when
81 ,99S,45S.2S showed on the books,
prospects were, with the boom in the
oil fields, that half million dollars
would be added to this amount when
the money for the last quarter is re-
ceived
OF the $1,99S, ,458.2S on the books in
the auditors office, $1,945,366 came
from oil, showing the lead oil has over
other products in the state. Gas fol
lowed with $S5,445.76 and lead, zinc
and asphalt were very low with negli-
gible figures
U~E Etc law one-third Of the
~mount collected goes back to the
county producing it. During the year
when the two per cent gross produc-
tion tax was levied the amount col
lected by the state was $1,319, ,227O5,
more than $4,000 Of which was secur-
ed from back taxes on gross produc-
tion when the one-half-of-one-per-cent
tax law was operating. With the larg-

RANSACK
RESIDENCE
House Completely Torn Up BY Men Look
ing for LOOI Which They Did
Not Discover

Mystery surrounds an early evening
burglary which took place last even
ing at the residence of w. G. Patten
at No. 1925 South Eighth street, and
rigid search was made for the burg
lars who were still believed to be in
the horse when the members of the
family returned.
MIR and Mrs. Patten and the chill
dren had spent the time from 6 until
Is O'clock at the Geronimo as the din
ner guests OF e. Huber of New
Mexico, the father of Mrs Patten,
who has been spending the holidays
with his daughter. Returning they
found the window Of the dining room
opened and investigation showed that
the screen had been removed. Enter
ing her room Mrs. Patten found that it
had been ransacked from top to bot
tom and that nothing except the fur
niture had been left in its place. 9th
er rooms showed the same condition.
1t would have been difficult to imag-
inc premises more completely
searched. But nothing was found to
be missing Gold watches. jewelly,
fine silverware and other valuables
had been cast aside in the wild hunt
for the object Of their search but were
left near their proper places
This led to the opinion that the
burglars were still in the house. The
police We're phoned for and several
members Of the force responded
promptly. Accompanied by neighbors
d through search was made Of the
premises but the men had evidently
completed their work and had fled.
This morning a necklace and a gold
bracelet alone were found to be miss
ing.
