They found the doors barred, but
broke in and found sufficient evidence
to justify arrest of a part of the oc-
cupants of the room.
A search of the premises both up
stairs and down was also made for
liquor but none was found. Mr.. Liv-

courtesy and allowed an extended
search, saying that he operated law

The arrested men all gave bond and
the date of their trial was set for
February 2, before Justice O'Dwyer.
Following the raid on the Fifth
street place, the officers were joined
by J. L. Bland and made a raid on the
roems over the Monett Bakery. At
this place they found the rooms un-
occupied and nothing incriminating
was found.

OIL WELL NO. l

The last report from oil we'll No. 1
Saturday night was that the drill had
gone 40 feet deeper since the last
drilling was started and that they
were coming into blue shale again,
which is one Of the favorable signs
that the new organization has been
hoping to encounter.
The we'll was down to a depth of
1850 feet at the time we speak of and
such change as this was what it was
hoped would develop from forecasts
made by the geologists.
The Kauin well, north of Spring
field, which is at about the same
depth have also resumed drilling op-

Revised plans for the completion Of

line, are being made by Yellville men

The proposed line, which connects
with the White River division of the

Buffalo mining and timber region.
Work on the road was stopped in 1915
because of lack of funds, after an

A TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF

Enlisted in Gods Army
"a Soldier of the cross"
We knew thee, dear brother
Thy life so free from dross
''To arms" the call was given
Gods sons responding true
Their ranks and files for Heaven
Stood in one grand review
Thy parents smiled their pleasure
To see their son go forth
To fill with men the measure
A life of real worth
Go thou the Angels call thee,
To reap thy rich reward
A golden crown thine to be
For service in the Lord.

little daughter Dorothy May Haxel
who died February l, 1921.
Precious darling she has left US,
Left us, yes forever more,
But we hope to meet our loved one,

1Ss PERSONS INJURED
IN THEATRE SMASH
Sweeping Investigation Proposed in
Congress to Establish Blame and
Prevent Recurrence of Tragedy.

Washington, January So With
the search for dead under the wreck
age of the Knickerbocker Theatre
suspended today in the belief that all
bodies had been recovered, probability
that the death toll of 1O8 would be
further augmented, centered around
dozen or more persons reported in
critical condition at various hospitals.
Assurance that an exhaustive inves-
tigation would be made of the disas-
ter. not only with view to fixing
blame, but also to determine whether
other theatres and public buildings in
Washington are unsafe in event of
heavy snow, such as that which caus-
ed the collapse of the building Satur-
day night, was given today by leaders
in Congress as well as officials of the
District of Columbia.
An inquiry already has been under
taken by the commissioners of the
District of Columbia, while in the
Senate resolution calling for an
investigation by a Senate committee
was introduced by Senator Capper
(Rep.), Kansas, Representative Mon
dell, Republican leader of the House,
announced, however, that the House
would not undertake TO investigate
the cause of the disaster until the
District of Columbia agencies have
concluded an inquiry.

NEWMAN'S BUY BIG
STORE AT MUSKOGEE

t Joplin, Jan. 29.-Of the notable
merchandising transactions that have
been consummated in this city, the
recent purchase of the Franc bank
rupt stock of Muskogee, Okla, by the
Newman Mercantile Company as
gsumes a dominant position. The
magnitude of the purchase reflects
the financial condition of local insti-
tuition, as well as their unbounded
faith in Joplin and its adjacent terri
tory. The facts connected with this
purchase are indeed interesting and
clearly define the details of this tre-
mendous deal.
The Franc store was opened in
Muskogee on Wednesday, October II,
1921, at 9 a. m. It's president, Mr..
Lewis B. Franc, was formerly associ-
ated with leading Muskogee depart
ment store. His standing as a mer-
chandiser in his community was the
foundation for the formulation of a
new concern that would bring to Mus
kogee store second to none in the
state and whose efforts would be di-
rected in the distribution of only high
grade merchandise.
The Franc store, from an architec-
tural angle, was a harmonious picture
Its exterior was modern and pleasing
to- degree. It's interior, the very
last word in store appointment-lux-
urious fixtures, beautifully carpeted
an ideal store even to the super-criti-
cal. The goods that filled it's two up
per floors and subway store were Sc
lected with the utmost care and with
the highest efficiency as to fashions
and quaTity.
Everything pointed to rapid growth
and q successful career, but for some
reason the Franc store failed to pro-
gress. Sixty days from the date of
their opening, they were forced into
Their total Indebtedness
to general creditors was $161, ,347.14
and the claims entitled to priority
to $26,42750, making the
total indebtedness $1S7,774.64: The
Franc Company was capitalized at
S150,O0O, but only $4,000 in actual
cash was paid in. The Franc store
was sold in the district court of the
United States for the Eastern district
IF Oklahoma to the Newman Mercan-
lie Company of Joplin OH Friday,
January 6, for the lump sum of $751;
700.
The packing and transporting of
he Franc stock was gigantic task.
It required 221 cases and the freight
charges alone were $3.50. Fifty peo-
pie, working night and day for two
weeks, were required to unpack and
distribute it to the various depart
nents of the Newman store. So eX-
;ensive are many of the lines that
many departments have been tenn
,orarily located on floors other than
heir usual selling space.

irst time in their career, they are

Ionization..

The degree of vacuum within an
electric lamp depends upon the de-
gree to which air and other gases
have been exhausted. Air must of
course, be considered as d gas, since
its principal componsnts are oxygen
and nitrogen. Also a gas Is . sub
stance and. therefore. is made up of
atoms which contain positive nuclei
and electrons. This idea of the; con-
struction OF an atom has been set
forth in a prior article. The cleo
irons are negative electricity. 1t was
also stated in a previous article that
If a neutral atom, in which the sum
Of the negative charges equals the
positive charge, loses one or more
eIectrons 1t becomes what is called
an lion" Its positive charge then
overblances the negative charges and
the ion exhibits the properties Of q
positively charged body.
Now. supposing that the eleetrons
emitted from a heated lamp filarnent
and that the lamp contains some gas.
1t is quite reasonable to imagine that
they must collide with at least some
Of the gas atoms. II at the time Of
collision the electrons are travelling
nj high velocity. 1t is also reasonable
to belieye that the force Of collision
might separate some electrons from
the atoms. If positively charged
body were present within tee tube
and the. collision took place in a
region where the ions then created

Greasy of Covington. KY. who was
with Miss Edith E. Levoy. twenty
two years old. when she was shot and
killed, last night was taken to the
Mineola Jail today charged with mur-
der.
Greasy insisted to Assistant District
Attorney Edawrds that he had fallen
asleep on a couch in her home, and
that Miss Levoy had taken a 44-cali-
ber revolver from his pocket and shot
herself. He said that he was awak-
ened by the report and aroused the
house.
Lake, n. Y. was school teacher.
Other teacher friends told Mr.. Ed
wards she had been afraid of Greasy
after they broke their engagement to
wed, because he tried to- get her to
enter into a suicide pact with him.
Greasy went to the house shortly
after supper and talked with the
young woman in the sitting room on

There were three or four women on
the porch on the first floor at the time
They heard no Quareling, but about
a half hour or so after the couple had
been together the shot was heard

carry out his part of it," the assistant
district attorney added.
Mr. Edwards said he talked with
Greasy about the suicide agreement,
but that the latter declined to make
any statement. The prisoner sticks
to the original story that the young

Considerable wave length to be secured.
