oklahoma City, okla, Aug. 49,
Fears that n clash between armed
bands of men who have openly defied
the authorities of central Oklahoma TO
enforce the army draft law. and pOSSe-
men. were said to have been realized
late today. \ report from Rock

Early tonight a special train left Ada

when posses caught four objectors. In
their effort to get In formation regard-
ing the movements of the recalcitnnts
one of the men was strung up with n
rope around his neck. He refused to

and with the other prisoners took him
to Sasakwa. Between konaWa and
Sasakwa three other prisoners were
taken.
Tako Farmer Prisoner.
Members Of the so called working

Edward Gaines. n prominent farmer

Sasakwa. Officers have been dis

The discomforts of the rossemen
were heightened during the day by the
supposedly accurate report that any
food or water taken at the homes OF
the outlaws would be poisoned.
From prisoners the name OF virtually
every leader has been ascertained.

The British entered this place shortly
after the advance began Tuesday

heavy artillery fire on the positions

CAREER SEEKING WOMEN.
One Hundred a Day Flock to New
York Tempting Fate.

One hundred women d day come ca
reer seeking in New York city. This Is
the figure furnished by Director c. B.
Barns of the state bureau Of employ
ment. He bases his estimate upon the
number of women handled daily by
the Travellers Aid, the number regis
tered at hotels and those registered by
the state bureau and other employ
ment agencies.
One hundred women d day. $500 q
year \ fraction over four every hour;
approximately one every time the min
ute hand crosses the fifteen minute
mark.
Mr.. Barns estimates that a large per-
centaee of career seekers come from up
state and towns about New York and
New Jersey. Probably 80 per cent, he
says, come from western states. The
smallest portion of the number comes
from the south. Some succeed; more
fail. Yet always others come, answer
