GOVERNOR REQU ESTS ALL
70 JOIN IN BIG FOURTH
OF JULY JUBILATlON

Oklahoma City, June 19.-Governor
Robertson by proclamation, urges the
general observance of Independence
Day, July Fourth, and also asks for
"a safe and sane celebration of the ma
tons birth. The text of the proclama-
tion follows:
There will be a worthy inclination
on the part of the American people
to celebrate the approaching Fourth
of July with extraordinary earnestness
and enthusiasm. The glorious achieve
ments of our country in the war for
universal liberty, the supreme valor
of our soldiers on the battlefield of
France, the dawning of a new day
crowned with the glory of peace, the
desire to honor our returned heroes,
all these thoughts will inspire us with
profound feelings of patriotism.
1T is we'll that we rejoice, let joy
be unconfined, let us make it great
day in the life of our state, but let
us remember the shadows of injury
and death that have SO often enshroud-
ed these celebrations in the past Let
us have a safe celebration this year,
free from sorrowful happenings. There
is no necessary connection between
patriotism and the use of fireworks
and explosives. Experience has shown
the INTO be highly dangerous to both
life and property. 1t is not necessary
TO dwell on the story of death and dis
aster that follow their use. The
thought Of manned and disfigured chill

In the Homer District.

Oil men who have given some
thought to the production at Homer in
Carter county are of the opinion that
"a refinery could be built at that place
which would be remunerative to the
stock kholders and at the same time would
make a useful institution for the de.
velopment of the oil wealth of Carter
county The production there is light
but the wells are shallow and the oil
produced contains a very fine grade OF
|lubricating oil.

 ''The big need in Hyder at present Is a d'lck.' said Mir Larson this morn- ;n.. 'There is now no way in which to land supplies except by means of >cowS at high tide. and this is very ex- peNSive.'
 Al Stewart. B. C.. just a mile away. a dock IS already in. according to Mr.. Larson. and Hyder will have to build one soon in order to hold the business
 "Hyder is the logical mine outlet," said Mir. Larson. I've found it almost impossible to get rooms. All accom- modations were taken and it was only with great difficulty that we found d place to slay.'
 In speaking of transportation facili- ties, Mr. Larson said that Canadian freigh1ers made weekly trips to Stew art while there is prac, icaily no Amer ican facilities.
 Ut would improve the situation ire mendously if the American steamship companies would make rate for Hyder freight. A dock at Hyder could be used the year round, while the one at Stewart freezes in cold weather.''

BLACK HAND SUSPECTS

Chicago. Aug. l4.-Rounding up of d Chicago Black Hand band. whose oDer- aflonS are said to have petted $50, 900 ln SIX months. was begun recently when postal inspectors cuimina ed an lnvestigal ion of three months with the arrest of six men,
 Gen. James E Stuart, chief postotfice inspector of the Chicago division, an- nounced that the roundup was the big gest and most important in the history of the division. The arrests were only l prelude to others that will follow, he said. It is believed at least p persons are involved.
 Fifteen postal inspectors working in day and night relays have been en- gagged in setting the net that Gen. Stu art has begun pulling in. Although he would disclose but little information until the roundup was completed, he sald the arrests so far made were achieved with the assistance of two of the bands prospective victims. By iuterceping letters to victims and tracing tbem to the writers with the aid of handwriting experts and process of elimination of mail boxes. the postal inspectors obtained the names of the leading members of the band here and liOL SIlttNo"Su tHelu uulll OlnGt mGn- bers were feund. A daily check was kept on their movements. Although the evidence so far ob- 'ained deals only with Chicago, there are indications that the operations of the band were of nationwide scope aad that it had representatives in all the larger cities of the country, Chicago being headquarters. The men arrested were:
 Frank Russo, grocer, Italian political leader and said by Gen. Stuart to be the directing genius of the band
 Mark Le Penna, Russos brother-in. law.
 Vito Rubino and his l6-year-old son. Joseph Rubino.
 Nicholas and Pasquale Zarelli, broth- ers-in law of Rubno and living at his home. and said to be collectors for the band.
 Gen. Stuart attributes many of the hitherto neaplained bombings of Chi cagO homes 10 the band.
