SUFFRAGE AND
BOOZE MIXED
Oklahoma Fight Wakes
Hot Over Both Fed
eral Issues
By C. B. PARKER.

Editor OF the oklahoma News.
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 12.-
Legally speaking, suffrage and booze
in Oklahoma are all tangled up.
National prohibition and national
suffrage for women enter through
the federal amendment door.
Enemies to both in Oklahoma have
started petitions, after both amend
ments have been ratified by the leg
islature. The contention is that the
referendum comes nearer being a
true expression by the people than
does vote by the legislature.
Of course, the whole question of
the power of the referendum as
against that of the legislature will
have to go to the United States Su-
preme court for final decision.
Ohio's prohibition case is now
there.

attractive display of women's wearing apparel, wild cat hide, NAVAJO blankets, date palm trees, trifles, ce- ment, chicken wire. storage battery, mattress and bedding, boots. leather coat, and "other articles too numerous to describe
 The arrest of the three boys was brought about when Officers Smith and Cutler stopped Hisey last Friday night to warn him against speeding. At the time, Hisey was driving Buick. He represented the car to be his own and gave his correct name to the police, but a fictitious address. When the officers later looked up the record of the Buick, they found it had been stolen. They ascertained the correct address of Hisey and ar rested him .at his home last night. Hisey then told how he had received the car from Allen Bragg and tho of ficer arrested Alien at his home. At police headquarters Allen told every thing and said his brother Tom had taught him to steal.
 Get Half Brother
 Allen furnished the police with description of his half-brouher, and men from the sheriff's office joined in the search. Officer Lucey saw q young man answering the description come out of a pool room, get on bicycle and ride away. The police man gave chase In an autOmODiie, overtaking his man. Lucey identified the man as Tom Bragg and the bi- cycle he was riding as a stolen one. When searched at police headquar- ters, Tom had a salt and pepper shaker and a vinegar bottle in his pocket which he had stolen from the Portola restaurant where he had eaten only a short time before being arrested.
 : Captain Lee Sutherland. who had wrung confession from the two other boys, found Tom sullen and not in clined to talk. Captain Sutherland piled his questions rapidly without receiving much response. Two rifles which had been taken from the shack were placed near the captains desk. Tom spied them. For the first time he showed interest.
 Where did you get my guns?" he asked The guns had already been identified as stolen property

Following the arrest of three youth full bandits last night the police are wondering how many Phoenix people helped to supply the ample furnish ings for a 10x12 shack at 1917 East Culver street. The officers last night found the shack and the basement un- derneath it crammed full of an as- sortment of articles which would do justice to an ambitious department store and the grounds surrounding the shack were pretentiously adorned with date palm trees and ornamental shrub bery. From the roof of the shack a flag pole plaunted the red, white and blue to the breeze.
 Everything on that place was con- fiscated by the police last night as stolen property and brought to head quarters where it will await identifi- cation This wholesale recovery of stolen property was brought about by boy who was driving a Buick au- tomobile at an excessive rate of speed Friday night.
 Stole ii Motor Cars
 Because Homer Hisey, 16 years old, failed to observe the speed limits, he is in jail today and he has implicated Allen Bragg, IA years old, and his half brother, Tom Bragg, 19 years old, in a series of robberies in Phoenix which reaches a high maS1 in the annals of local police History.
 Hisey conIessed the car he was driving had been Stolen by Allen Bragg who admitted the theft. Allen told the police he had turned the Buick over to Hisey as he had found an Oldsmobile which suited him better Allen modestly added he had stolen II automobiles and one motorcycle in the past four months. He said his brother Tom Bragg had done better than. that and then told of the shack furnished with stolen property. Allen told the police he had parked the stolen OIds mobile at the Arizona Apartments garage.
 Find Shack Full
 Officers McGrath and Smith were Apartments garage where they recoy- cred the car described and another one that had been reported stolen At the garage the police officers found men from the sheriff's office waiting to intercept the claimant of the stolen cars. It developed that the sheriff's office was working on the same case unknown to the police. From the time of the recovery of the cars at the Ari- zona Apartment garage, officers from the sherfffs office and the police de- partment united their efforts to regain as much Fof the stolen property aI possible.
 A visit to the shack on Culver street revealed about s10,000 worth of stolen property. It required four trips of a oiS Anotor car 10 carry all the loot to police headquarters. Four wicker chairs which had been stolen from a residence on Willetta street, were found A flag pole, which had been taken from the Deaconess hospital, was recovered from the top of the shack.
 Even Hives of Bees
 Other stolen property found on the place and which the police identified as having beea reported stolen included two hives of bees, 1000 feet of lur1- Der (which had been transported from Glendale in a stolen automobile), an

WEEKLY FINANCIAL BULLETIN

NEW YORK, Feb. 7--EyentS or the week in the very disturbed financial and commodity markets indicated that little more than moderate recovery from the crisis in the international credit situation may be expected in the near future.
 The many conflicting economic ele- ments involved in any effort to effect even partial stabilization of foreign exchange present insuperable diff culties in the opinion of expert ob- servers without wide financial and in dustrial cooperation. There is reason to believe, however, that conferences of foremost interna- tional banking interests are likely to be held soon either in London or Paris when plans to bring order out of exist ing chaos will receive earnest consid- eration. Primarily the violent reaction in stocks which caused many leading shares to fall from ten to nearly fifteen points was divectly connected with the crash of exchange.
 Higher rates for call money, bank acceptances and merchants paper were the outcome of loan withdrawals by banks here and at other reserve cen- ters. It is generally agreed that cur tailment of export credits necessitat- ing sacrificial offerings of foreign bills was the weakest point in the fi- ancia1 structure. In the general reversal it was re- garded as noteworthy that representa- tive industrials shares sustained only moderate losses. New low records were made in the bond market, Liberty and Victory is sues yielding to greatly enlarged of ferings with several of the foreign war flotations.

System of Bulletins
to Detect ShOplifters

At the December dinner and meeting
Of the credit managers Of the Merchants
Association at the Hotel Lincoln last
night, V. C. Kendall OF L. s. Ayres & Co..
one Of the original committee that draft
ed a plan by which the stores are to be
projected from shoplifters, spoke. He
explained the organization, telling OF the
system of bulletins that will be issued
daily, and, II necessary, hourly, inform
ing the credit managers Of fraudulent
transactions and giving information OF
value toward detecting shophfters and
other criminals.
An address also was made by William
P. Evans, prosecutor-elect, who spoke
along the same general lines, and touched
upon the matter of unauthorized buying
by charging purchases to the accounts
of other persons, and the issuance OF
fraudulent checks.

advertising must be truthful and that
its cars and accessories must be uni
formly meritorious. The motor club
is not formed to boost one make of car
or one brand of tires. 1t comes into be-
ing to help the car owner and encour-
ages the manufacture and sale Of cars;
1t aids In their distribution and 1t does
more than any other agency in foster
ing and maintaining d sound public
opinion affecting the business.
"Any consideration OF motor club,
even In the abstract, cannot be complete
without reference to the one agency that
has kept alive the spirit of progress in
Indiana-the Hoosier Motor Club. It's
enthusiasm has been boundless, its vision
undimmed, its labors unremitting, and
yet 1t has fought its way up by the
advocacy of 4 program that was sound
logical and eminently reasonable 1t has
been a pioneer and the scope of its labor
has extended into every corner OF the
State. 1t may well claim the credit for
Indiana's good roads program, for the
we'll marked highways, for wise legisla-
ton, and for countless other efforts that
have relieved the car owner of annoy
ances and given him standing. This work
has barely begun. The Hoosier Motor
Clubs future is restricted only by the
lack Of support on the part of car own
ers who have benefited by its activities
and yet have failed to do their share in
bearing the expense. A group Of un-
selfish, public-spirited men has done
prodigious work during the past few
years and the results reach every man
who sits behind a steering wheel These
advantages Will multiply in the same
ratio that the Hoosier Motor Club is given
the Statewide support it deserves. He
Is selfish indeed who clips the coupons
from an organization In which he never
has invested a cent"
