HANCOCK IN AUTHORITY
President of City Commission Is Vir-
tually Mayor Now.

When a mayor is not a mayor is
when he is out of the city. Today
w. S. Hancock, street commissioner,
is virtually mayor as Mayor Corwine
is in McAllister, Okla. What Hancock
may do with his authority as mayor
might not be in accord with the Cor
wine plans, for Hancock has way of
Independent thinking.
81 was thinking about exercising my
power as mayor today" Hancock said.
Il have never had such a power be-
fore. I wonder what I could do to
stir up things? I suspect I should
wait until the mayor is out of the city
next time, as it wouldn't be delicate
to get too active the first time he is
AWAY.

containing 100000 gallons of oil, are
stored there.

policemen discovered Is men lurking
near the Vacuum company's premises,
some of them apparently having just

followed, in which it is alleged sever
al shots were fred by the civilians
