ARBITRATION PROVIDED
TO SETTLE BICKERING
In Case Nation Refuses to Arbi-
trate, League May Sever Re-
lations or Cut Off by
Economic Blockade.
BY FRED S. FERGUSON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS, Feb. 14.-The first world
constitution was made public this
afternoon when President Wilson read
the draft Of the League of Nations
organization before the general
peace congress.
While the constitution did not con-
tain provisions for any sort Of an In
ternationa police froce, it includes
stringent measures designed to pre-
vent future wars.
1t provides that In case any ma
tion makes war without first sub
mtting the questions involved to ar
bitration, there are the following
possible courses open to the league;
The severance Of diplomatic reIa.
tons between the members Of the
league and the power making war;
an economic blockade OF the nation
refusing arbitration.
A recommendation was made by
the executive council for the use of
forces. The use of force, however,
will. leave to each power freedom of
action under it's constitution to
make the necessary declaration of
war.
The international peace force or
general staff, urged by the French
and which was put to vote yester-
day afternoon after a stirring speech
by Senator Bourgeois, was over
wheImIngIy defeated. Only the
French and czecho-slovaka voted
for il.
The constitution includes a pre-
amble Of 27 articles, having been in
creased from the original % articles
during yesterdays session Of the
league committee. The articles that
were added were devoted purely to
parliamentary matters, the others
covering the organization of the
league.
Congratulations on securing the
adoption Of the league constitution
poured into the American headquar-
ters at the Hotel Crilon this after
noon.
Members of the League to En-.
force Peace declared, "This is the
golden day in the history of the
world" They stated emphaticalIy
that despite the rumors that were
circulated in Paris, France is
standing solidIy behind President
Wilson.

BOLD BURG
GETS AWAY
WITH DOPE
Smashes Rear Door of Drug
Store With Hammer; Taps
Till of Cash; Swipes
Plenty of Snow"

The heavy glass of the rear door
cayed in, a five-pound blacksmith S
hammer lying on the pavement OF
the court outside, bloody finger
prints on pieces Of the broken glass,
several dollars in real money gone
from the till and quantity of
dope" missing from the prescrip-
ton department of Brownson's drug
store tells the story of busy bur
glar who operated there last night
The missing dope" also points to
the class of individual who smashed
in the door or rather divided the
possibilities into two classes. First,
HOP head whose supply Of
snow was running shy, or, sec
ond, a vender Of dope, who had
prospective customers on the string,
but was short the merchandise tt
complete much desired and profit
able transactions. Eh, Hawkshaw?
The rear door to the Brownson es-
tablishment is, or, rather, was fitted
with extra heavy glass, reinforced
with wire netting, and from the in
dications many blows from the
heavy hammer were necessary to
cave the glass in and the noise must
have been equal to a battery of ma
chine guns in action However, the
windy night with occasional crashes
from some object blown from its
moorings might have accounted for
the fact that the noise made by the
burglar being passed unnoticed.
He was after dope and cash and
wanted nothing else. From the cash
register he lifted S6 in change and
from the drawer about 50 more, de
clining to take $4 worth of stamps
In the prescription department he
pocketed considerable dope Of vari
Gus brands, but overlooked five
times as much as he got away With
according to the first check-up made
at the store this morning, and the
swag he overlooked was on the same
shelf Watson. he worked fast
Returning to the broken glass
Hist. There are the tell-tale blood,
finger prints. Evidently one of th'
several blows carried the hammer
through with such force that hi
hand was brought in contact witt
the glass. Anyhow there is th'
blood, wherefore a hop head" witt
a finger tied up this morning, ma.
have some trouble explaining to thl
police just how it all happened.

OF s TATE
BUY STOCK
Shorthom Sale Nets $16,015;
Bests Last Year by $4,355
High Bid is $525; Aver
age Price $3.50.

According to a statement issued
this morning by VIM II. Donahue,
clerk of the big sale of the Grady
County Shorthorn Breeders associa-
tion held here yesterday, the total
amount of the sale showed a figure
of $16,O15
Of the 100 pure bred animals
listed disposal at the sale, 80 were
sold leaving II animals that were not
disposed Of. The cattle sold were
taken from the herds of IA owners
and SO buyers participated in the
sale. The purchasers were from every
section of Grady county as well as a
big representation from over the
state. Out of the SO head of stock
disposed of % were bought by men
living uotsde Of the county, making
wide distribution of the Grady county
stock
The sale was we'll attended, despite
the cold weather and the terrific
wind storm that swept the city. The
high bidder was Ben F. Johnson Of
this city, who had declared his inten-
tion to "get his feet wet in the rails
ing of pure bred shorthorns at this
sale. His bid on the bull offered for
sale by W. w Yoder, and which set
high mark at the sale was $525.
The high mark in the COW class was
also registered from the herd of w.
w. Yoder. This COW was bid in by
A. H. Damron of Purcell for $3.50.
The average price paid, counting all
classes of animals offered at the sale
was $3.50.
Comparing the figures of this year
and last shows that the sale just COM
pleted was greater by $4,S55 than the
one held here under the auspices of
the association last year. The figures
last year were $11, $3.50 total, against
S16,015 this year. Also, the high price
paid for an animal this year has it
on last years record by S195. The
high mark set last year was $3.50 paid
for an animal by Dave Hybarger.
The record this year was s525.
That the sale was satisfactory in
every respect, except that the at
tendance was cut down on account
of the weather, was evident from ex-
pressions of those interested.
John R. Tomson, president of the
American Shorthorn Breeders asso-
citation attended the sale and stated
that he was well pleased with the in
terest shown. Ed Herring of Apache,
and D. S. Smitheiser of Enid were the
auctioneers and the sale was clerked
by VIM. H. Donahue of this city and
]. c. Wade of Ninnekah.

the bridge north of the station here,
Kittrell stepped back, reached in
his pocket, took therefrom "some-
thing and killed Mr.. Scott

Scott was taken after the shooting
occurred and where he died a few
days later, testified that bullets fired
into his body was the cause of his
death. No witnesses were intro
duced by the defense
A. L. Beckett, Okmulgee attorney,
represented Kittrell in the hearing,
while County Attorney Cavaness
and VIM. Stacey, his assistant, repre-

READS DOCUMENT TO CONGRESS
GLADSTONE DERRICK
AT CEMENT WRECKED
BY WIND Is REPORT

Word received here this morning
from the Cement field states that
the swind storm of yesterday and
last night completely wrecked the
derrick of the Gladstone No. in
S-5-9, situated in the southern sub
urbs of Cement.
The derrick that is said to have
been wrecked by the wind is a new
rotary rig recently completed. The
first rig to go up there was a
standard derrick Later it was torn
down and the rotary outfit put in.
No drilling had been done with the
new rotary rig before it fell vic

Okmulgee Men Take Over Prop
erty of Area Company in
Northern Part of County;
To Drill 5000 Feet.
STEADY PROGRESS
BEING MADE NOW
Hole Is Deepened 600 Feet; Now
1000 Feet With Eight-Inch
Casing; Outfit Not Selling
Any Shares.

Interest in the oil development OF
the Grady county district swung to
the northern end of the county this
morning with the announcement of
H. c. Cook, of the firm of Kimoley
& Cook, Okmulgee operators that
the well started by the Area Oil &
Gas company in the southwest OF
: northeast of 1898 would be drilled
to depth of at least 5000 feet.
In fact, operations have been un-
der way at this location, under the
new regime, for some time, the new
firm having made about 600 feet of
new hole, bringing the well to a
depth of 1000 feet. 1t was aban-
doned some months ago by Messrs.
Moore and Dick Of the Area com
pany at depth of l 400 feet.
TIE new firm has taken over the
property of Moore & Dick, includ-
ing the rig and tools, as well as the
leases CT the Pocasset Oil & Gas
company, and Mr. Cook states that
the well will be completed as rap
idly as possible. Two crews are on
the JOB, and they are running night
and day. They have eliminated all
the fishing jobs left by the Area
company, have reclaimed the hole
and are down to their present depth
with the eight inch. This fact places
the operators in good shape to con
tinue to the 5000 foot level, or bet
ter
The expense OF drilling the well
is being borno entirely by the firm
of Kimberly G Cook. They state
that they have nothing to sell, pre-
ferring OF retain full control of the
proposition rather than splitting it
up and selling stock.
Mr. Cook, who was in Chickasha
this morning, said: 1--WE have moth
ing whatever to do with Mr. Moore
and Mr. Dick. We are in no way
Connected with them and they, or
the Area Oil & Gas company, do not
own a dollars worth Of interest in
the proposition now. We have moth
ing to sell. We ask no financial
help as we are amply able to take
care of that end of the proposition.
We do ask the cooperation of the
people in the matter of leases. If
we strike oil, they win. If we don't
strike oil we lose and they are not
out a dollar.
"We have bought from the Po-
casset Oil company the leases which
formerly were the property of the
Area Oil & Gas company. This
company had started a well and had
failed to comply with their contract,
and had the proposition in such a
turmoil that it was necessary for
some one to step in and take the
proposition up.
I'VE have taken the proposition
over insofar as personal property
owned by the Area Oil & Gas com
pany, and all leases owned by the
Pocasset Oil & Gas, company We
have spent large amount of money
in the reconstruction and getting the
well in such shape that we could GO
ahead with it. Owing to the con
dition that the hole was in at the
time that we assumed the manage
ment, we have been delayed in the
matter, up to This tine, but now we
are thoroughly convinced that with
out question the well can be com
pleted to the depth of 5000 feet. un
less some unforeseen condieior
arises"
