MAT STRUGGLE ENDED
BY INJURY TO EVANS
Montanan Unable to Resume
Match; Fisher Awarded
Verdict by Referee.

What promised to develop into an
exceptionally good wrestling match at
the baseball park was brought to an
untimely end last night when Jack
Fisher Of Muskogee and Billy Evans
Of Montana, after forty minutes of
milling. fell thru the ropes OF the ring
70 the ground below, injuring the lat
ter so that he was unable to continue.
After thirty minutes of time had been
taken out and Evans was still unable
to return to the mat. the referee gave
the decision to Fisher, announcing
that the mon were wrestling by Police
Gazette rules, which provided that II
one man was injured so that the
match could not continue his op-
ponent was to be given the decision.
Evans was removed to his room at
Hotel Tulsa A doctor who was pres
ent and examined him. stated that he
was suffering from the shock re-
celved when he fell on his head and
that he would be all right In a few
hours.
The accident occurred Just after
Fisher had succeeded in breaking a
head scissor and both wrestlers had
regained their feet and were going
into a clinch again. Evans got his
head under Fishers arm. who backed
thru the ropes, pulling his opponent
with him.
During the forty minutes they had
wrestled before the accident had oc-
CURED hOnors were comparatively
even, both breaking holds when II
seemed that fall was certain. Fisher
who is the lightweight champion. ap-
peared to be in the better condition
They were to have wrestled for the
best two out of three falls for the
title.
Doctor Sheppard, who examined
Evans. declared he had suffered a
sprain in the small of the back over
the kidneys and was not able to return
! to the mat. but expressed the opinion
that he would be all right within q
few days.
Mr.. Jones, Evans manager, said he
regretted the accident and asked only
that Fisher give his man another
chance as soon as he recovered from
his injury.
Fisher said he would be glad to ac-
commodate the visitors any time and
any place, providing the inducements
were right.

DOHERTY DENIES BIG DEAL

CHICAGO, oct. 9.-The independ-
ent oil mems convention at chicago
now under way is so big and so pro-
ductive of enthusiasm as to lead one
TO believe that there is something IN
TIE atmosphere of the Windy city
to inspire hlarity. In spite of the
war and in spite of "A most unsettled
condition of affairs the oil men that
make up the association are all. with
one accord, entirely of the opinion
that there is nothing to prevent d
continuance of the present safe con-
dition of the oil business and that no
trouble is In sight fIob anywhere.
Even the stories that have been IN
circulation from Kansas City that
many big deals are on, involving at
least S100000,000, are not thot here
to have the slightest foundation. Ger
tainly 1t was a disquieting rumor that
was published in the Kansas city
papers of Sunday that the Carter Oh
company had offered 100000 for
the Doherty holdings, including the
seven or eight refiEeries located in
Oklahoma and Texas.
Mr.. Doherty himself, speaking to
the employees and the heads OF his va
rious concerns. stated plainly Tues
day afternoon that he had never yet
sold anything he owned, nor was he
going to do so now. The price rumor
has set on his holdings, $l0O,0OO,O0O.

together
Tho Tuesday program included a
luncheon, which was really the be-
ginning of the meeting. after which
lTr. Doherty delivered an address on
&>ie Development of the Oil IN
dustry."
He was followed by Secretary
Welch of the Western Petroleum Re-
finers association, who spoke on
THE oil Industry and the War"
The Western Union manager for
Chicago, T. j. Drohan. made an In
teresting talk on the subject of the
photographic Code for the OIL Indus

we've shown moving pictures of the
greatest we'll ever drilled, the ia

The meeting for next year will
probably be held in New York city,
altho Tulsa people. backed by the
Sapulpa crowd. are boosting for
Tulsa.
Tho only question is one OF hotel
nccomm odat tions. which could take
care of several thousand people. The
meeting will last until Friday and
should not be missed by anyone who
can possibly make the trip.

the conditions, circling the shell holes
and slipping thru the deepest mud.
They knew, however, that success OF
future operations depended on their
efforts today.
Aided by Fortune.
when they reached their first OBJ
jectivo points they found the Ger
mans crowded in nests OF craters,
which hercabouts form the first lines,
the building of trenches in this sec
tion Of Flanders BEING impossible,
owing to the porous soil.
Good luck had made the advance
coincide with the period when tho
Germans were changing the troops
occupying their front lines. a Ger
man division was Just handing over
the lines to fresh division recently
arrived from the Russian front. The
French with wonderful dash were
Upon them before they realized the
situation and killed many Of them.
There was short respite before the
next forward movement was under
taken In cooperation with the British,
who were advancing simultaneously
ou the French right. Slithering nl"~g
over the broken and muddy gIou"u
tho Frencn troopers made their way
quickl. toward Mangelaers. which
soon Iell into their possession
Work Completed by Noon.
The whole scheme Of operations for
the d. had been carried out long be
fore noon The infantry's advance
was greatly assisted by the daring
of the aViators who would not per-
NIT the weather conditions. which pre-
scented the greatest danger for the ai.-
men. TO interfere with the worn "t
recording for the artillery prepare
tions. q The French aviators flew low
over the German lines, taking capital
photographs of the destruction caused
by the guns and then returned In tho
fearful gale to their bases to turn in
their reports Meanwhile not sin
gle German airplane was seen IN Tie
air.
The result Of the days fighting, In
addition to the men and matcrai
captured, Is that the forest of Houth-
olst. which comprises five or six miles
OF tnicllly wooded ground, now Is
virtually flanked on both sides. AS
far AS can be learned the wood con-
tains considerable artillery and large
numbers of machine guns, but tnS
Germans must find extraordinary dif-
ficulty In keeping them supplied.
For the moment the French troops
are occupied In consolidating the
ground won which, altho small in ex-
tent. represents an invaluable gain, as
it deprives the Germans OF their points
of observation.

order which President Wilson had
virtually completed tonight after con-
ferring with cabinet members, Vance

Secretary Crosby of the treasury.
Postmaster General Burleson an
nounced after the meeting that the
provision authorizing the post office
department to license foreign Ian
guage newspapers already was in OPP
Grafton and that within ten days the
department would begin to issue Ii
censes. A number OF papers already
have filed applications and scores are
expected within the next few days.
Under the tentative draft of the ex-
ecutive order the censorship of mails.
cables. radio and telegraph communi-
cation would be entrusted to a board
including representatives of the post
office, war and navy departments and
the exports administration. The navy.
which now censors cables, and the
war department, which exercises con-
troll over telegraph communication to
Mexico. probably would retain those
functions while the new problem Of
censoring mail. directed particularly
to Spain and the northern European
neutral countries, would be given spe-
cial attention by army and exports
administration representatives on the
board of censors.
Mr.. Bureson Is anxious that his de-
partment refrain as much as possible
from the work of actually opening
and censoring mail.

WARRINGTON. oct. 9.-The gov
ernmcnt, thru the food administrator
is about to license cotton gins and cot
ton oil mills in the United States ex-
cept some of the very small gins.
1t has been announced that the
license would go into effect this week
but at conference of cotton growers
at New orleans. Just closed, request
was made that action be delayed until
the cotton grower could be heard.
This was granted and there will be
n conference hero next Monday, but
action may be taken sooner. However
it is not thot probable.
j. A. simpson oe Weatherford, presi-
dent of the Oklahoma Farmers union.
who was chairman of the meeting al
New Orleans. has been called to
Washington by Mr.. Hoover to talk the
matter over. rNS3s =
The plan Of the government Is to
license the gins and mills and fix tho
profit. 1t is contended by the cotton
grower that IL the price is fixed at a
percentage basis the gins and mills
would make MS much profit paying a
low price for cotton and cotton seed
as they would in paying a high price
and for that reason the price of cot
ton ard seed would be reduced and
injure the farmer.
For an illustration Tor government
prices lowering the farmers earning
capacity, Mr.. Simpson pointed out to
Mr.. Hoover that tho government now
was fixing the prise Of linters and
the farmer was now receiving six cents
and cotton is selling at 25 cents.
When cotton was selling at Is cents
the farmer, without government con-
troll. was getting cents for lint
ers. With 25-cent cotton he should
now receive liz cents instead of six
cents

 Germany it is believed that the Pope's peace proposals will come as timely aid to the government in this way that it will place the people in the position of having a government willing to make peace but facing enemies which refuse to listen to any terms.
 This is likely to solidify sentiment in favor of the war party, as the latter can complain and insist that even if the German people were pre- pared to make peace, the enemies Of the Fatherland will not hear ot anything short of practically uEcoa- ditionaI surrender.

STRIKE SITUATION IS
 TROUBLING AUTHORITIES

The authorities have taken steps to stop all itinerant workers from beating their way on trains This remedy has not proved very effica- cious in the past when tried, and it was allowed to lapse as a failure.
 h some cases it is proposed to make wholesale arrests for vagran- cy, but as this caused the original trouble in many small towns the be- lief is that this will not do either.
 The question is so hard to solve that the only thing that remains is to release the men who have been imprisoned and to grant increases in wages all along the line.
