Members of Senate and House Will

Discuss Organization of the More

By CHARLES H. ADAMS,
Staff CORRESPONDENT.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 4.-With per-
haps more than fifty per cent OF the
members OF the senate and house
in the city at this time, milling
around the hotel lobbies and saying
a good word for this or that candi
date for the appointive offices, the
few days preceding the opening ses-
sion of the legislature are likely to
grow more and more interesting to
the politician and the plum-seeker.
Each OF the principal hotels has its
quota OF aspirants for this or that
post and each is losing no effort to
show why his ability and presence
is essential to assure a wise and sue
cessful session.
SO far as the offices to be decided
upon at the caucuSes are concerned,
interest now centers on the race be-
tween Fred +. Tucker OF Ardmore
and Senator Davisson OF Tulsa for
the post of president pro TEN OF the
senate. Little can be learned here OF
the strength of these two, as there
has, up to this time, been more in
terest in the speakership race. How
ever, there are many who are con-
hdent that Tucker has the best
chance, and many declare that he
will easily be the caucus choice, but
DavisSon supporters are apparently
as confident as the Tucker men and

A story which seems worthy in
every respect of the best efforts of
a Rex Beach or Jack London, with
a hero who would fit equally well
into the work of either of these mas
ter writer's, comes down from Sas-
katoons Sask, CANADA. It concerns a.
Trading company, in a wilderness
cabin many miles from civilization.
The hero is a member of one of
the most picturesque forces in North
America-the Royal Northwest
Mounted Police. His name is Con-
stable NJ. Chappins. The news came
down two thousand miles, to the out
was believed a trapper lay dead in
a cabin near Fond du Lac. This was
in February, and the man had been
dead nine months then. There were
whispers that he had been murdered,
so Constable ChappinS was assigned
to the job, and his name dropped
from the rolls of "the Scarlet Rid
ers'' until he should return. as is
the custom of this organization.
Prince Albert, and a branch line took
him beyond the farms to Isle la
Crosse, where he outfitted a dog team
and hired a guide. The thermometer
registered thirty degrees below zero,
and the snow was two feet deep. For
days and days Chappins and his Cree
guide plodded on over the binding
snow, their supplies running low.
Gray wolves attacked them, and they
had to take turns sleeping at night
one minding the blazing fire and
brandishing flaming brand now and
then as hunger drove the gaunt
beasts nearer and nearer. Finally,

Dead Trapper Found in Lonely Wilderness
Cabin; Had Dead Fifteen Months

after the wolves had killed two of
the dogs, the Cree guide turned back.
The frozen desolation ahead of him
was too much. The wolves followed
Chappins, and he killed dozens of
them each day. He said later, that
this was what saved his life, as the
their dead comrades
Finally, after living on short ra-
tons and pemmican, he reached an
other camp, where he got fresh sup
plies, another guide, and forged on,
finally reaching the dreary, gloomy
cabin north of Lake Athabasca.
Here he found the body of Emanuel
Peterson, who had been dead for
fectly preserved in the cold, dry air.
An open diary on the table showed
the last entry, dated March 28th,
1918, and read, "I am very sick-it
would be hell if I should die out here
alone"
Chappins fastened the cabin
tightly so that nothing could break
in, and left the dead man there, as
it was manifestly out of the ques-
ton to dig a grave in land where
the thermometer never goes above
ground is always frozen flint-1ike.
On the door, Chappins pinned a
note, written in English, French, Cree
and Chippeyn, which read:
"This is the grave of Emanuel Pc
terson. Let no man disturb it,"
So there he lies, this nomad Of the
north, who, apparently had neither
cabin which he built with his own
hands is his mausoleum, and the wild
northern winds forever sing a

Atlantic City Girls
Enjoy Keen Rivalry
In Bathing CARDS

ATLANTIC, N. J., Aug. Ii
1.-THE northern lights" never witness
ed anything like the sights along
the bathing beaches here today. Old
man Aurora Borealis would have to
hide his head in shame If he at
tempted to compare scenic beauty
with the wonderful display of femi-
nine pulchritude here.
Each summer girl seemed DESTROYS
of springing a new innovation in
bathing suits. But the prize will
probably go to a demure miss wear
ing suit with fur trimming and
with the same on her carriers. Rab-
bit skin formed the collar. The fur
is so treated that it revives imme-
diately in the gay sunshine after be-
ing immersed in old Neptune's do
main.
"Fishy" bathing suits also have
sprung into favor. Denizens of the
deep, in the brilliant coloring char
acteristic of fish caught in the trop-
'cs, are used effectively on black
silk bathing suits. Sometimes the
surf rig is perfectly plain with the
fish motif introduced on rubber caps
and stockings.
The embargo on bare knees was
rigidly enforced today.

"Wet'' Spell Possible
Before 1920 With
A.E.F. Coming Home

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-There is
possibility of a wet" spell before
constitutional prohibition becomes
effective next January.
The war department announced to-
day that the army is IS per cent de-
modified and the remaining units in
the A. E. F. moving rapidly home
ward.
The present army strength is but
225, 900 greater than the authorized
peace strength of $4,000. 1t is be-
lieved demobilization will be COM
pleted before the senate ratifies the
treaty.
If the treaty is ratified and Presi-
dent Wilson proclaims peace by Oc-
tober l, "wets" look forward to a
wide open celebration during the pc
riod intervening between the end of
wartime prohibition and January,
when the constitutional dry era be-
gins.
The department of justice, due to
the necessity of searching out food
hoarders and profiteers, has divert
ed many of it's operatives from the
hunt for prohibition violators and
the work of gathering evidence
against them has been almost aban-
doned for the present.
Meanwhile. in congress, the high
cost of living agitation and the dis
cussion of the peace treaty have held
up prohibition enforcement legisla-
ton. The enforcement law. al
though passed by the house, has not
yet been up for debate in the SEN
ate,
