OF more than 800 miles. They came
in Mr.. Cooper's oldsmobile, and de-
clare they drove the machine l,232
miles without blowout or punoture'
The only attention the tires received
was TO give them fresh air occasion
ally. Except for u little work ON
the generator the trip was made
with no repairs Of any kind and not
the slightest trouble with the engine
They are. therefore, strong Tor the
Oldsmobile and are earnest advocates
of good roads. They believe II great
commonwealth like Oklahoma is abund-
antly able to afford fine highways
and would find them profitable In

PROGRAM MADE
BY STATE LEGION

complished; Fell Is Com

Cash Bonus Matter

Oklahoma City, Dec. 13.--Final re-
vision Of it's legislative program was
completed Sunday by state legislative
and executive committees of the
American Legion which met at the
Huckins hotel Discussion Of bills
occupied the entire day.
Changing preliminary drafts of the
appropriation bill proposing the erec-
tion by the state of $2,000,O0O hos
pital and vocational training center to
be leased by the federal government
the two committees substituted new
personnel for the commission which
is to have charge Of construction Of
the plant. The new bill which was
tee for its work of presentation to
the eighth legislature provides that
the building shall be constructed by
Il commission to be composed OF the
governor as chairman, ex-officio, ana
all members of the state executive
committee of the legion
"Since the American Legion is pro-
posing the erection of the hospital
the blame for any failure or diff
culties encountered by the commission
for its erection would fall on the le-
gion," H. Z. Fell Of Ardmore, state
commander, said in discussing the
bill. For that reason the legion as
an organization should be made di-
rectly responsible for the work. The
organization should be charged with
the duty of seeing that the state
receives 100 cents on every dollar
spent and that the institution is hon.
esty built and properly governed"
The committee selected is composed
Of the state commander, the state ad-
1utant and one member elected by

IN ARD N ORE
Two Women Involved in
Series of Thefts; Hunt
Starts With Robbery
Friday Night

The police department of this city
has succeeded in bringing to an end
the operations Of what they believe to
be a chain of petty thieves who have
been operating in this city for quite
some time. Very methodically, one
event in the course of the search led
to another with the result that all the
parties who were members OF the
group were apprehended, with the
exception of one who is now attending
q murder trial in Texas, as witness.
The information regarding the activl-
ties of the band came about in a very
peculiar, yet feasible manner. Dur
ing the latter part Of last week some
groceries were stolen from the store
of j. II. Boyd colored, on East Main
street. Chief of Police Chancellor
obtained some clues, and Moran Will
liams and VIII Lloyd were arrested
charged with committing the theft.
Policemen Jackson and j. a. Crosby
went to Lloyd's home, where they
made a search in an effort to recover
some OF the stolen groceries. They
were unsuccessful, and then, upon in
formation furnished them by Mrs. Will
| liams, went to a vacant house, locat-
ed on the refinery road north Of Ard
more, where the Williams had form
| erly resided. There the officers
found no groceries, but 4 pile OF
linens on the floor, and about 100

! ing Jacket, made out of towels, was

ner that the inscription Hotel Ard
more" appeared o neach sleeve. The
officers later presented the jacket TO
]. C. Clopton, manager OF the hotel,
to whom they also returned the
stolen linens. Immediately after the
discovery Of the linens at the vacant
house, Mrs Williams was arrested
and turned over to the county au-
| thorities.
Policemen J. A. Crosby and Cecii
Crosby then proceeded to the home
OF Mrs. Estes, also on the refinery
road, where Mrs. Williams had made
her home up to the time Of her ar
rest. There they also found a large
quantity Of Ho.cl Ardmore linens.
While questioning Mrs. Williams
at the city Jail, the officers gained
information which led them to the
home OF a Mrs. Morris, where they
| found n,ora lnane and towels
Both Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Morris
had been in the employ of the Hotel
Ardmore. Mrs. Morris was arrested
and released after placing $50 bond
for her appearance at municipal court
this morning, where she was found
guilty on a charge OF petty larceny
and fined $50.
The next place visited by the off
GERS was the home Of the woman
who had recommended Mrs. Morris
TO the management Of the hotel
Ardmore. There they found linens
and towels, also bearing the Hotel
Ardmore inscription. But besides
these. they found two bottles OF corn
whiskey. This woman is out OF the
city at the present time. The police
state that as soon as she returns,
she will be- arrested
The value OF the linens which have
been recovered is estimated at more
than $500.
