NAB TWO OIL MEN
(Coutinued from Page one.l

the oil world and conversation buzzed
about form atoms and anteclines and
all the other fine sounding, mysterious
language of a real oil town.
E Out in the country a good many
farmer boys and girls dreamed of
high power motor cars and things
they would do when oil was found OF
dads eighty. The Triangle people
painted attractive pictures and quoted
dizzy figures from fortunes made over
night thru the finding of black gold.
Into the tempting lure was drawn the
prosperous little country town bank.
The Bubble Broke.
Then one morning a few weeks go
the bubble broke. The day dreams
became a sickening reality of $4,000
worth of protested drafts and checks
which came thru the clearing house.
1t seems to be an old story of oil
field promotion which state investi-
gators are piecing together in an eff
fort to solve the BurIingame trouble.
1t is the whjskered story of a glowing
prospectus, Turing conversation of
stock statesmen and a sudden COM
only the promoters seemingly har-
vested the crop of gold.
Charles B. Griffith, assistant attor-
ney general, today assisted in drawing
complaints for the three men. He said
the state department had not as vet
entered the litigation except in ca
pac.ty of advising Usage county Of
ficials.
Two charges are made in each COM
plant. The men are alleged to have
violated the law regarding the issu-
ance of bad checks and the enactm ent
covering false statements to banks.
Each is a felony under the state law.
1t was reported this afternoon that
Brady is president of the Triangle Oil
company, while McCaslin had been
connected with the corporation as
equipment manager. Gould was said
to have been field manager
State officials this afternoon were
uncertain as to whether Brady would
yield to the state warrant without
requisition. In event he resists it is
considered likely that Governor Allen
will be asked to issue a requisition on
Governor Hyde of Missouri for Brady's
removal to Kansas

PELLETIER FASHION SHOW
White Coats One of Interesting Gar
ments To Be Shown Next Week.

White Coats Ono of Interesting; Gar
ments To Be Shown Next Week.
The Pelletiers fashion shows of the
past seasons have established a stan
dard of style-showing in most enter
tanning and artistic manner. This
high standard is to be outdone in the
fall show to be given on the third
floor at Pelletier's next Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday evenings.
One of the interesting garments to
be included in the Pe,letier's Fash on

coat, an exact replica of the wrap Sc
lected by Mrs. Harding for fall wear.
This coat is exceedingly recherchez;
ufacturer who made Mrs. Harding S
wrap. The material is black pan
velaine, made on simple and graceful
lines with an effective trimming of
monkey fur on the tucked sleeves and
straight choker collar. The side fas-
tening is made by a handsome metal
and jet buckle. Barbary satin de
chine is the material used in lining
this very distinguc wrap.
Perhaps you have heard of or seen
the play "Chauve Souris''-that of
course is New York dope-but every
one will enjoy seeing the "Chauve
Souris' suit to be featured in the Pei
letters fashion show next week. The
stunning black jacket is of black ma
talasse with trimming of Siberian
squirrel and fastens in an unique way
at the side. The skirt is wrap-around
drapery affair of shimmery black
broad cloth.
OF course reams could be written
about the fascinating apparel to be
worn in the Pelletier's show, but a
few words must be said about the
"Slynx Lamb coats, the mod:sh, at
tractive sport coat OF the moment.
The soft fur is shown in gray and
fawn color with trimming of dark col
ored leather. I'll,
The stage settings and promenade

In, 4 statment today Mac1vor said:
I'VE feel that President Harding
action in vetoing the national adjusted
compensation bill will in no wise hin
der the success of our MEASURE at the
polls on November I. Rather, his ae-
ton. will crystalize the sentiment in
Kansas among Kansas voters to vote
to pay the Kansas boys an adjustment OF
compensation. Various polls have dis
closed that the voters of the state
favor an adequate adjustment of the
economic loss suffered by our $4,000
fighters in the World war and we be-
lieve that this sentiment will be reg
istered by large majority on election
day.
1.-THE objection given by President
Harding to the national bill is that
no method of raising the funds to pay
federal compensation was outlined in
the bill which he has sent back to
congress unsigned. This objection
does not arise in connection with the
proposed KANSAS soldier legislation.
