REFUSES OVER 81 FOR CORN
Refused to Enrich Himself at Expense
of Ncigii1or

OTTAWA, Kan, April 29.-Stories
Of food and grain spectators who
have made fortunes by boosting prices
hold no charm for Sherman Smith, a
well-known farmer living five miles
northwest of ottawa
Smith had more corn stored up in
his cribs during the winter than his
neighbors had. His neighbors ran
out and wondered how much Smith
would ask for a few loads.
Yes. I'll sell you some," Smith told
one neighbor.
IN give you s1.15 a bushel"
No, you won't"
What will you take, them"
You can have enough for your
present needs, but not cent more
than 81 a bushel," Smith told the as
tonished buyer.
Another offered him s15O bushel.
but Smith refused to sell for more
than 81. A third wanted to buy a
large quantity for $3.50 bushel, but
Smith was obstinate.
"a dollar is enough for it." he said.
besides l have a flock of chickens
that make pretty good money"
And he exhibited a roll Of bills
which he had received In payment for
a large consignment of eggs.

SCHEME TO ARM THE
MEX|CANS HAS FAILED
Would Avoid Embargo by
Shipping via England and
Spain to Fool U. S.

Correspondence OF The Associated Press. J
MADRID, April 2s.-With the en-
barge on the shipment of arms and
ammunition from the United States
to Mexico, an ingenious plan recently
mas been brought to light for the
shipment of such munitions of war
from the United States to Europe.
and their shipment from Eu-
rope to Mexico. BY this roundabout
route the arms could get to Mexico
without crossing the United States
Mexican border, where they would
have been detained by American GUS
toms officers.
The plan has required system Of
agents acting in Mexico, the United
States, England and Spain the route
designed for the shipments being
from the United States to England
from England to Spain and from
Spain, by one of the steamer lines
operating to Central and South Amer
ican portU to one of the Atlantic
ports of Mexico. Whether any ship
ments via England and Spain actually
got thru is not known, as the plan
was disclosed and checked when the
London link in the roundabout chain
got into difficulties over the use of
code messages dealing with the ship
men.s.
In the course of the inquiry, the at
tention of the British military CEN
sors was attracted to several cable
grams from Mexican military Off
cials These did not appear on their
face to deal with orders for arms,
words being used to take the place of
arms and ammunitions. While the
exact words of the code are not
known. the messages from Mexico ran
something like this:
Send two hundred cases apples
and five thousand rounds potatoes"
When the receiver of the dispatches
was interrogated by the authorities.
he stated the shipments referred to
arms, intended to be brought from the
United States to England, then
shipped to Spain, and thence to Mex
leo. The transaction was stopped as
involving an irregular use of code
messages. The question of the ship
ments OF arms did not arise, as ship
ments to Mexico did not at the time
appear to have any bearing on the
European war. incidentally, however,
II disclosed the roundabout route
from the United States to Mexico via
England and Spain. but gave no indi.
cation as to how far the route had
been put to use outside of the transac-
tion stopped by suspicion OF the code

BOARD TO SETTLE
RAILWAY DISPUTE
Tulsa Traction Company's
Case Before Corporation
Commission Today
WOULD CROSS FRISCO LINE
Refusal of Right to Intersect
West Tulsa Tracks De-
lays Interurban.
WOULD CROSS FRISCO LINE

Hearing on the application Of the
Tulsa Traction company for the right
to cross the tracks of the Tulsa Belt
railway in West Tulsa will begin at 8
o'clock this morning before the state
corporation commission in Oklahoma
City. !. +. Crow, president of the
traction company, and attorneys for
both sides went to the capital yester-
day to present their claims.
If the Tulsa Traction company wins
it's suit the last obstacle to the com
pletion of the Sapulpa interurban will
be removed. The company is now
running cars across the West Tulsa
bridge and few hundred yards be-
yond, where the line halts, owing to
the refusal of the belt railway to al
low another line to cross a spur to the
Constantine refinery. Recently the
railway built a switch at the point to
further block plans of the interurban
line.
Rivalry the Cause.
Rivalry between the two companies
is said to be responsible for the desire
of the belt line to shut out the inter-
urban. The belt railway is sub
sdiary of the Frisco and was organ
lied to handle the refinery products
from West Tulsa. In the Tulsa Trac-
ton company the frisco recognizes a
competitor for the freight and passen-
ger business of Sapulpa and the oil
fields.
Blocking of the interurban con-
struction has prevented the company
from extending its service to the new
Frisco yards in West Tulsa, and from
there to Red Fork 1t is the plan to
run cars as far as the tracks are laid,
pendinglthe time the entire interurban
line is completed. Hundreds Of labor
ing men and residents in West Tulsa
will be inconvenienced daily until the
difficulty between the two roads is ad-
justed.
Blocks Extensions.
"The refusal of the Tulsa Belt to
permit us to cross their spur track to
the Constantin refinery is the only
thing that blocks the completion of
the interurban," said |. F. Crow before
leaving for Oklahoma City yesterday
IF the corporation commission
grants our plea, we will have ears
running on hourly schedule between
Tulsa and Sapulpa by the middle of
summer"
Construction work on the interurb-
an has not been delayed by the cross
ing controversy. Two crews of work.
men are now laying track at Red
Fork, and trolley poles are being in
stalled as rapidly as the line is fin
lshed. Other gangs will start within
week from Sapulpa to build the in
terurban toward Tulsa

short time in order that he may go
thru the records in the local offices of
the Five Civilized Tribes and secure

number of years.
The history will recount the early
struggles to a high civilization of the

show that the Indians of the five

Famous Bowling Star Tells How to Make Spares

Count" John G. Gengler, of
Belgium, one of the greatest bowl
ers in the world, and perhaps the
worlds greatest expert on picking
up" spares, has prepared lessons on
spare bowling which should be of the
greatest value to The Journals read
ers interested in the tenpin game.
Failure of the average bowlers to
make big scores does not lie in fail
ure to hit the one-three crotch and
get strikes, so much as in failure to
"pick up the pins on a split and
complete spares.
In the lessons in The Journal
"Count" Gengler explains how to pick
up the pins on the splits which occur
most commonly and makes his expla-
nations easy to understand by dia-
grams showing just how the ball
should hit.
