OF A BRIDE

In response to several notes and
phone calls, a delightful group OF
persons gathered on my terrace for
Sunday night supper. Willy Van

Deb had never looked prettier,
thought, as she stepped from her
car. She was a stunning thing, tall
and slender. with perfect features
and silky shiny light hair, which
made glorious halo around her
head.
Ann indicated, by a gesture, that
she desired me to pay particular
attention to Deb's new frock, and
l did without in the least surmls'

events that afternoon. Or was, II

cordings of pale yellow showing in
the most unexpected French fash
ion. The gown was cut in the new
est mode. 1t had a long straight
medival bodice with the waist line
at the hips. The sides OF the bodice
were prolonged into narrow panels
back and front, four altogether.
They fell to the foot of the gather
ed skirt and were looped up and
fastened with the hem.
Those loops bothered Deb terrib-

afternoon she was forever catch
ing her unfamiliar looped sashes
on some projection Of the furnt-

The men passed the plates and
the supper, and, Of course, dear
old Jim, usually the most careful
of all the boys, put one foot
through a dangling loop OF Deb's
dragging sash as he bent over her
chair with a cup OF tea.

Hildreth's $6O,OOO
 Colt Loses Again

Grey Lag, the Star Shoot colt for which Sam C. Hildreth recenly paid S6O,000, suffered his third defeat in four starts in his new co1ors at Ja- maica yesterday afternoon when, in the Oceanus Handicap the featured event on the program, he finished two lengths back of Mulciber. Knobbie was third, four lengths behind Grey Lag.
 It was an extremely disastrous day for the form players. Although the weather was ideal and the track in excellent condition, only one of the six favories got home in front. Wedge woods victory in the opening sprint was the only one recorded by a pop uldr choice.

Mails Pitches 16
 Scoreless Innings

Duster Mails has pitched practi- cally sixteen innings in this series without being scored on, thereby has made good his threat to make the Brooklyn club sorry they released him four years ago. Relieving Ray Caldwell after one batter had been retired in the first inning of the third game in Brooklyn last Thursday Mails held the Dodgers score1ess to the end of the seventh inning, being relieved in the eighth to make room for a pinch hitter. He held Wilpert Robinson's men to three hits on thai occasion. Yesterday Mails yielded only three hits in nine innings.
 Combining both games Mails has allowed an average of approximately ls one hit every two and 8 half innings

WARM DAYS SEE
ACTIVITY AMONG
LOCAL SPEEDERS

Along with the balmy days that
show symptoms of spring have come
multiplied activities in motoring the
proportionate increase in the number
of speeders and consequently mark
ed increase in the number of fines
being exacted by city officials.
twenty-five dollars was the amount
collected by Mayor Durbins court
this morning from alleged city traf-
flee law breakers r. F. McMahan
was fined ten dollars and Gus Fal-
ter, r. c. Gray and II. F. Curtis were
each penalized to the amount of five
dollars, all on charges of exceeding
the speed limit Officials stated that
this constituted McMahan's second
offense hence the larger fine.
Sylvester (Hoodoo) Smith, colored,
was also fined $500 in police court
this morning on a charge of refusing
to pay his sanitary bill
With reference to the enforcement
of the city traffic ordinance, 0. G.
Linn, chief of police, stated this
morning that hereafter motorists
who run their cars in the city with
cut outs open and mufflers off will
serve the same fate as the speeders.
He pointed out that driving cars
with open cut-outs and without muf-
flers constituted just as great an Of,
tense as speeding. The city traffic
ordinance must not be violated, he
stated.

Decision of Federal Judge May

Is Believed.
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Oklahoma city, March 10 The
long expected clash at Red river may
result from Governor Hobbys action
in refusing to recognize the order
of Federal Judge Youman's at Enid.
It is expected that Judge Younians
will today issue warrants for the ar
rest Of oil men and Texas rangers
who are now holding the property
Following is Governor Hobbys
statement with reference to the po-
sition Texas has taken on the propo-
sition:
THE territorial integrity of Texas
will be maintained and this state
will not surrender territory over
which il has been in actual and un-
questioned possession for 84 years,
except upon a decision Of the United
States supreme court and the case is
now pending in that court.
Without a trial to determine the
rightful ownership, an Oklahoma fed
eral judge has entered an order, the
effect of which is to dispossess the
state of Texas of a portion of its
public domain leased for oil develop
ment and to dispossess receiver
appointed by a Texas court and has
enjoined peace officers of the state
who have been sent by me to pre-
serve order.
THE Attorney general of Texas has
advised me in a carefully prepared
opinion, that the order of the Okla
homa court is void and without justi
fication in law This property con
sists of 100 acres on the south side
of the middle of the river, whose
value is estimated at $1O,O00,O00.
There are three producing wells
on the property aud perhaps forty
wells are now being drilled. The
property is now yielding the state
about $1,000 per day.
THE duty Of the state to maintain
sovereignty is not molly involved but
it would seem that a valuable finan-
cial interest to the state is also in
volved.
therefore, sufficient force has
been ordered to hold the Territory
and surrender none of it except the
decree of the only court having juris-
diction over the boundary lines of
states, and that is the supreme court

FIRE DESTROYS MUCH OF PARK

TO START WORK ON FIELD HERE

the time. Red Reynolds, infielder
who was left in charge of the work
on the grounds while F. R. McGaha,
franchise owner, is in Joplin, made
arrangements yesterday morning for
scrapers and teams to do the neces-
sary work on the diamond, but it
was impossible for the teams to be
put to work before today, hence the
absence of help at the park. The
dammange to the park fence will
run into the hundreds of dollars.
The city fire department was call
ed out at 3:15 and owing to the dis
tance of the water plugs from the
fire it was necessary to use a thous
and feet of hose in fighting the
blae. The fire had gained such head
way when the department arrived
that it took nearly two hours to ex.
tinguish the fire. The work OF the
fire fighters is all that saved the
grandstand.

If the events of yesterday, the day
on which the Chickasha baseball
chiefs closed the deal for University
park as home for the local West
ern association club. is a criterion
for the state of things throughout
the season, then Chickasha is to see
a very hot campaign for the bunt-
ing.
All this in view Of the fact that
about two-thirds of the park fence
was burned yesterday afternoon when
a grass fire got beyond control.
Someone yesterday afternoon a
bout 2:3O had set fire 10 the grass
en- the land just west and south of
the park. The fire spread rapidly
with the result that nearly all of
the west side of the park fence, a
major portion of the south side of
the fence and several sections out
of the north fence was burned.
There was no one at the park at
