REPUBL| CAN WOMAN SAYS
SHE WILL VOTE FOR cox
AND LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Governor Cox gained one Republi-
can vote in Carter county yesterday,
and it all came about through an
increase in pension granted under
Democratic administration
Hon. Charles d. Carter, who is do
ing some campaigning in Carter coun-
ty for the Democratic party. was in
vited TO take dinner at farm house
in the northwestern part OF the coun-
" near the little town where he had
delivered an address.
1t developed that his host, past the
four score milestone Of life was
Tennessee Republican. and had served
in the army of the Union during the
war between the states, and for which
service he was granted IL pension
few years ago.
The pension was small and the old
couple were often put To dire ex-
tremitics to make things meet, and
with this situation confronting them
the old veteran made an application
for an increase of his monthly sti-
pend The matter was placed In the
hands of a local attorney and In due
time was referred to Mr.. Carter as
congressman from this district who
gave IL his Characteristic prompt at
tention with the result that the old
man was granted an increase TO $50
per month.
While waiting for dinner yesterday,
the subject Of politics was broachcd
and the old gentleman informed his
guest that he was an old limo Repub-
lican and would probably have TO
stick with the party this time, how
ever. he remarked that he wasn't
mad at the present administration
as he had received good increase
in pay at the hands Of the govern
ment and was very kindly disposed
toward Il and the manner In which
affairs had been conducted.
However his good wife who up to
this time had been busy in the htch-
on with her culinary duties and had
taken no part In the conversation
stopped long enough tn announce that
she was going to vote for Governor
Cox. that she was for any admins
tration that would grant AN increase
OF nay TO old folks and she was for
the league OF nations anyhow. there
by announcing IN a few brief words
that she would xiii" her husbands

OKLAHOMA CITY LOW
LANDS SUFFE R FROM
NORTH CANADIAN FLOOD

Oklahoma City, Oct. 29.-Warning
against further use of boulevards
and highways in the southern part
of the city and a bulletin to the ef-
feet that part of the boulevard bridge
west of the packing house district
had been washed away when bridge
brought down the North Canadian
river from upstream had struck
pier, Joe II. Patterson, commissioner
of public property, today took further
steps to avoid flood damage and loss
from the swollen river. The bridge
east of the state fair grounds was
declared unsafe. while the road lead
ing TO it is already cut In three
places by overflow waters.
Announcement by the weather bu-
reau early today that the real crest
Of the flood had not yet reached
here, caused public officials to hasten
work of preparation to meet the
flood in threatened districts. A one
foot drop in the North Canadian re-
ported by the bureau today led Off
oials to predict that the fall was only
a brief respite and that when the
crest struck this vicinity the loss
resulting would amount into the thous-
ands of dollars. The city water
works plant will feel the brunt Of
the loss, Mr.. Patterson said.
With the North Canadian river
standing at 13 feet shortly before
noon, today, a rise of 1.S feet, in the
past "a hours, it was announced at
the weather bureau here that the
flood stage of Is feet would be
reached here probably by Saturday
noon. The river is already overflow
ing its banks and bottom lands are
under water.
Severance of the main trunk gas
line from the Cement field supplying
practically so per cent of the gas
consumed by Oklahoma City and
normally carrying 100000 cubic
feet, was caused by flood waters OF
the North Canadian river just west
of the packing house district early
this morning, the Oklahoma Gas and
Electric Company announced shortly
before 10 o'clock today.
| Officials of the gas company de-
clared that it would require at least
4S hours to repair the main. while
engineers OF the company were OF
| the opinion that the break could not
be patched at all until the high
waters had receded. With the crest
of the flood yet to reach this area

SITUATION IN POLAND

With the entire Bolshevik forces in
retreat before the onslaughts of the
Poles, the allied premiers have served
formal notice on Moscow that the So
viets must modify their armistice
terms to conform with what Poland
and the entente want.
AS a supplement to a note directed
to the Bolsheviki government by
Great Britain and Italy demanding
such modification, Premier Lloyd
George announced he had issued an
ultimatum requiring a satisfactory an
swer before the end of the week.
Soon afterwar Premier Miilerand
addressed a note to the British and
Italian governments formally declar-
ing Frances adherence to the Anglo
Italian course of action.
Latest advices from the front re-
ported the Russians practically eject
ed from Poland, and the retreat ex-
tended southwark so as to include the
entire 500 mile battle front. The
Poles claimed a total of 10000 pris-
oners-

HE URGES JITNEYS
Judge Huggins Recommends
Them to W. Eighth Residents.
Court Considers Petition to Re-
store Street Car Service.

Patrons of the West Eighth avenue
street car lines were urged today to
seek relief thru jitney service when
they petitioned the court of industrial
relations to order restoration of the
service. A delegation of Eighth ave-
nue. patrons presented the petition to
Judge W. l. Huggins, presiding judge
of the court.
Judge Huggins said the court would
consider the petition to restore street
car service. He said residents of the
district would be- permitted to produce
evidence showing the line had been
operated at a profit-at least not at a
loss to the company.
Regular Jitney Service.
Relief was suggested by Judge Hug
gins thru jitney cars. He asked the
committee to present the matter to the
Topeka city commission asking for an
ordinance giving temporary right of
way to some individual motor car op-
orator. with provision for regular serv-
ice. Such service, he said. Taight be
withdrawn if unsatisfa ctory Nto resi-
dents or to the jitney owners. In the
meantime the court will hear evidence
in the case. The court recently pro-
vided that the street railway company
might suspend operation of West
Eighth avenue cars in an effort to re
duce operating expenses.

WOULD HALT PHONE HIKE.
Kansas City, Kan, Asks Injunction II
shawnee District Court.

A petition for an Injunction re-
straining the Kansas City Telephone
company from collecting the new rates
established by the Kansas industrial
court was filed late Monday afternoon
in the Shawnee county district court
by the city of Kansas City, Kan
While the order of the industrial
court establishing new rates carried
the date of July 81, and purported to
become effective August l. the city
alleges that the decision was not
reached until August II. and that
notice was not served until August Is.
The city claims that the rates cannot
become effective until thirty days after
the decision was rendered under a
state statute. and the action of the
telephone company in presenting bills
under the new rates for August is
Illegal.
Further. it is alleged that the Kan
sas City Telephone company signed a
stipulation in 1919 when it took over
the Southwestern Bell and the Home
lines in Kansas City, that it would not
make any application for new rates.
Another complaint is that the merger
has not physically combined the two
