" Fixing Sister is a play that every
man, woman and child should see. 1t
is a credit 10 the American stage"
The story is that of John Otis
who halls from Kansas City He
learns that his sister is making a
spectacle of herself over a rascally
Britisher and his swindling aunt.
So he takes a train east 10 see
what's doing. He finds that nothin :
has been misrepresented.
Sister is "A very lovely bit OF fool
ish femininity She is like the fool
and his money who couldn't live to-
gether. John reasons with her
without avail. He ridicules her Eng
lish friends who are trying 70 entice
the little matter of a hundred thou
sand from her willing hand. But
there is nothing doing. Sister Is not
amendabIe TO reason when a title is
dangling within sight. But the Mis-
sourian is a resOurceful shap. He
plans a way of Fixing Sister.-an
explosive way. TO he sure.-but one
so chuCked full of fun both for him
self and the audience that it carries
the play TO a swift success. The
scheme frightens sister into her
right senses and exposes the pseudo
lord. And even more vital 10 John

STATE GETS
GOOD DEAL
in CAPITOL
Oklahoma State Building Costs 81 100000
and Could Not Be Rebuilt for
$2,5OO,OOO Today
By united Preaa.

BY United Press.
Oklahoma City, Jan. 11.-Oklahoma' s
new $2,5OOOO0 capitol building, which
cost the state but s1,5OO,OoO, is proba-
bly, the best and most business like
purchase ever made in the state.
Should Oklahoma begin today to con
struct the building now almost com
pleted, it would cost an additional mil
lion dollars, according to members Of
the state capitol commission Sign
ing the contracts when labor and ma
terials were much cheaper is the rea-
son for the big bargain
1--WE were.fortunate in that the ma
terials were purchased and the work
contracted for during time when
prices of all commodities and labor
were considerably less than now, :"
reads the commission report to the leg
islature. Everything that enters into
the contract of this building is now
worth thirty to one hundred per cent
more than it was when purchased and
were we to start the capitol today it
would be impossible to obtain the same
building that is now being finished for
less than two and one-half million dol
lars"
Looking into the future, when i'm.
provements or enlargements might
want to be made on the building, the
commission has SO constructed 1t that
changes can be made without damage.
Marble can be placed in the Railways
without removing the plaster. The
heavy piers were constructed as au-
thorized and go to the roof lire, SO that
a high dome can be placed on the
building at any time. And there's not
a stick of wood in the entire structure.
It's fire proof, every room practically

Washington, jan 11-The investi.
gation of the leak to Wall street from
President Wilson's note to the belliger-
ents in the European war came to an
abrupt end today.
The house rules committee, before
which the hearing has been in progress
for several days, defeated a second res
olution offered by Representative
Wood providing for a probe Of the
charges made by Thomas Lawson
The committee also refused to take
up Woods first resolution calling for
a general investigation Of all matters
involved in the charges.
BY strict party vote the resolution
providing for an investigation by Sc
lect committee was defeated.
Lawson was the star witness on the
stand for the greater part of two days
and although grilled and threatened
with contempt proceedings he persist
entity refused to make nshlic the names
Of a cabinet officer and member of
congress alleged to be involved in Wall
street operations. He frankly admitted
that his main object in making the leak
charges was to bring about a general
i estigation Of stock exchanges with
a view to federal Incorporation of the
same. Lawson testified yesterday that
the leak probably prevented more seri-
GUS conditions in the stock market
Contrary to newspaper report, Law
son denied that he had ever revealed
the source of his information regarding
who had speculated in stocks
to the chairman of the committee.
