Two Slain, One Is
 Wounded in Battle
 With Bank Robbers

Tulsa, Okla, Sept. 11.-Trapped by Ia posse of county officers as they left the Redfork bank by rear door this afternoon, after holding up and rob- ping the institution of several hun dred dollars, H. F. Tyson, was fatally wounded, dying three hours later; William Rocker, seriously wounded and w. T. Beasley. deputy sheriff, in- stantly killed. Tyson and Rocker were removed to the county jail after the affray, but the condition of the former necessitated the removal to the hospital where he died as the re- suit of a score of wounds caused from buckshot, fired at him by the officers. Beasley, stationed in a barn in the rear of the bank, was shot through the upper part of the body, either by bullets fired by the bandits in their efforts to escape or by the shot fired from a nearby house in which several officers from Redord were stationed.
 The capture of the bandits came as the result of information furnished Sheriff James Woolley this morning, when John Scott, a plasterer who claims to have known the two youths for a few weeks. He stated to the sheriff that two young men had ap- preached him last week with the proposition to rob a bank. He claims he refused and again this morning they told him they were going to rob the bank at Redfork, asking him to accompany them This he did after mo- tifying the sheriff of the intended robbery.

PRESIDENT SAYS | RUSSIAN UNREST MENACES NATION Asks Ratification of Treaty to Stop Spread of This
 Spirit WOULD REMOVE THE
 CAUSE OF RADICALISM Declares Strike of Police In Great City Is Crime Against Civili-
 zation-Makes Two
 Talks.

Helena, Mont., Sept. 11.--In two addresses in Montana today, Presi- dent Wilson asked that the peace treaty be ratified without delay so that the spirit of universal unrest spreading from Russia may be quilted.
 Saying he had been told the west was pervaded by "what is called ra- dicalism' the president declared the only way to keep men from agitat- ing against grievances was to re- move the grievances. As long as things are wrong," he said, he did not intend to ask that men stop agi- tating, begging only that they use orderly methods.
 He said radicalism meant ''cut-. ting up by the roots" process that would be unnecessary if "noxious growths" were removed.
 MT. Wilson also referred to con- troversies resulting from police strikes in the east and said the strike of the policemen of great city leaving that city at the mercy of thugs, is a crime against civili- zation.
 MT. Wilson said while the Monroe doctrine section was under discus sion at Paris, he tried ip vain to think of any language which would be more sweeping and specific guaran- tee of the doctrine. The language chos- en, he said, was decided upon as an absolute guarantee.
 Enumerating of domestic questions by name, as proposed by some of the league opponents, would be danger ous, MT. Wilson said, because some thing might be left out.
 Referring again to "radicalism" the president said the men who tried to get what they wanted by destroy ing governments would themselves be destroyed.
 He expressed his "shame" at re- cent race riots and said that for policemen to strike was crime against civilization.
 The duty of policeman to his government, he asserted, was dir ect one which should be borne with responsibility.
 With all it's complexities, Mr.. Wilson said, the issue after all was whether the sacrifices of the war would be in vain. The task of those who fought was only half done, he declared, and if the treaty was not put into effect "men like these will have to die again."
 The United States said the presi- dent, did not go into this war, will ingly and the nation had tried to convince itself "that the European business was not our business"
 "We fought Germany" he contin- ued, "that the world might be fit place to live in. And the world will not be a fit place to live in as long as any great power can do what Germany did,"
 Under the League. asserted MT. Wilson, there would be no opportu- nifty for people to be thrown into war without their consent. But if the League failed, he declared, the United States would be deliberately guilty of preparing a situation which would bring on the final world war;"

MINERS OPPOSE: MOVEMENT FOR
 ONE Bl(3 UNION
Radical Tendencies Are Con- demned In Resolution at
 Convention.

Cleveland, O., September, 1.-The convention of the United Mine Work CTS of America went on record today against the lone big union" I. w. w. and kindred movements, indorsing President Lewis sharp condemnation |of these radical tendencies. The question came up during the con sideration of the report of President Lewis. A committee recommends tion, approving the action of the in- ternational executive in revoking the charter of the West Canadian miners for joining the lone big union' or ganized at Winnipeg this summer, was adopted with only one dissenting vote. It was stated that 95 per cent of the secedors were now back in the miners organization.
 The convention advocated calling an International mining congress as pro- posed by the British miners and recommended steps to bring about a general old age pension system by legislation.
 Naturalization of miners as a gen. eral principle was approved today by the convention of the United Mine Workers of America with only one dissenting voice, the sole objector being shouted down when he declar- ed standardization an impossibility He later explained that he only meant impossible for the present.
 Concrete proposals for nationaliza- tion are expected when the report of the committee on resolutions is pre- sented.
 The convention voted with the same unanimity for the six hour day and five day week in all coal mines to be incorporated in demands presented to the mine operators at the joint wage conference at Buffalo September 25 but deferred discussion of specific wage demands until next week.

Ban Johnson Had
 Interest In the
 Boston Americans

New York. Sept. 11.-Ban John son, president of the American league admitted today on the witness stand, before Referee George J. Gillespie, that he was interested in the Boston American league. while that club was owned from 1911 to 1914 bv James McAleer and Robert McCroy. The latter, now deceased, formerly was Johnson's personal secretary.
 The testimony was given at a hearing before trial of the New York clubs suit to restrain him herman ertlv from interfering with the use of Pitcher Carl Mays, recently pur- chased from Boston.
 Johnson said he had advanced the money that McRoy put into the Bos- ton club in 1911. In 1914. the club was sold to Joseph K. Lannin. when Johnson withdrew his interests.

JOHNSON PUTS bL LAME FOR N. C.L.
 UPON PRESIDENT
Californian Again Scores Wilson In Address on the
 Covenant.

Indianapolis, Sept. 1l.-Senator Hiram w. Johnson of California, continuing his speech making cam paign in the middlewest in opposition to the ratification of the league of nations covenant in an address here tonight, declared that if responsibility for the high cost of living rests up- on any agency or man, it rests upon the present national administration, and Woodrow Wilson.
 President Wilson adds to his fear some harsh names, appeals to our material interests and even taxes the two months that the league and treaty have been before the Ameri- can people, and senate. with the high cost of living" said Senator John son. "He conveniently forgets the eight months he spent abroad, secret ly nledging our resources and our man power to European and Asiatic governments. The two months of discussion by our people and senate in the open of what he discussed secretly for eight months. has had, l of course, no bearing upon and the reasonable discussion in the future cannot possibly affect the hirh cost of living. If any single individual can be charged with responsibilitv for the high cost of living that man is Woodrow Wilson.
 "The living costs in December and January last, were substantially what they are today Mr. Wilson then had exactly the same laws he now in. vokes. He had neither time nor in- io otirp 4n 1ooJ x,yi%h practically as acute as it is now. He never even touched the subject, ex- cept patronizingly and as an epheme- real i'll of no consequence or impor- tance. He makes it's solution depend now upon the immediate ratification of his treaty. He would friehten us by cheap and spacious statement, devoid of economic logic and wanting in any sound reason. He covers his own dereliction by an unfounded counter charge. Remember his ad- dress to congress, December 2, last: "The moment we knew the arn,js- tice to have been signed. we took the harness off. It is surprising how fast the process of return to a peace footing has moved in the three weeks since the fighting stopped.' His idea
 
 of reconstruction then was it will not be easy to direct it any better than 1 it will direct itself.
 "When he had ample time for act ion last December. and might have prevented the subsequent continu- ance of high prices these are his words: Our people do not wait to be coached and any leading strings we might seek to put them in would speedily become hopelessly entangled because they would pay no attention to them and go their own way. The American business man is of quick initiative.' At that time, we had a competent federal food adpinistra- tion, completely organized through out the nation. MT. Wilson deliber- ately scrapped this vast organiza- ton. which might have removed a part, at least, of the causes of high prices.
