B|G FRAUD
 IN 0IL TRADING
S2,00O,000 in Worthless Stock
 Sold to Public, It Is Said

New York, April 6.-With the un- ment found several days ago by the Federal Grand Jury, the government revealed what is alleged to be the biggest oil stock swindle in years whereby more than $2,0O0,00O in practically worthless stock of the Gen. tury Consolidated Oil company was unloaded on the public from coast to coast.
 Six individuals, Mrs. Cora Stetson Butler. now in Atlantic City; Dixie L. Peters of Los Angeles, Walter B. Clarke of Boston, Ernest E. Phillips of Kansas City and Bonewitz X. Daw- son and Mark S. Mathews both of New York were named as defendants, charged with conspiracy and use of the mails to defraud In addition to the Century, the following companies merged or associated with it were also named:
 The shannon Petroleum company of Delaware, the Ranger Petroleum company and Ranger Oil company, both of Arizona; the Queen Oil com pany and the Hercules Oil company, both of Delaware, and the Acme Fin ance corporation of New York, al legged to have foated the Century stock at from 90 cents to s1 a share, by falsely stating the properties in- cluded 100 active wells producing 500 to 1000 barrels of oil a day, and would soon pay dividends, causing consequent rise in the price of the stock.

banks, schools, churches. Among these, which were brought into the world by the discovery of oil, are Healdton, Wilson, Cushing, Garber, Shamrock, Yale, Boynton, Slick and Deggs.
 The modern city of Tulsa is pri- marily an oil town, although few are the derricks that can be seen from the roofs of it's skyscrapers. When the Red Fork oil fields was discovered in 1901. Tulsa was a struggling village. The boom was absorbed by the towns of Red Fork and Sapulpa, which passed Tulsa in population. A year later, however, when the Glenn pool was opened up, it was Tulsa that ben efited. It was the only nearby town where office room was procurable and there the oil men nocked to cstab-
 fish their headquarters. Now the city claims a population of S5,000, and be- cause of it's rapid growth is known as "The Magic City"

REAL WORK NEEDED

It is time to make "Americaniza- ton" more than merely thing to theorize about.
 The plan of Americanization Direc- ters to men here who have not yet taken their naturalization examina- tions or who have failed to pass, comments itself and brings the whole matter up for action.
 Hope is not lost that people of this community do think something of the future of the country, of the city. Ere quently it is shown in various "cam- paigns" and drives and in welfare work, that New Britain has a great body of public spirited people.
 The cry against present political conditions is insistent. Thinking peo- pie want things changed.
 The trouble must be attacked at the roots. Americanization is only one phase that IS vital, but It is vital in- deed. The classes proposed to be formed to teach foreign born men and women something about this country will cover but a small field. It is only one way of touching one group of people.
 But 1t is good that this one way is to be adopted It should suggest the intensifying of interest in every body in the general subject of trying to improve the citizenship of the city or the country, Any time movement is started looking toward this end. whether such movement be among the foreign born or among native born who need to learn, such movement should be encouraged and there should be many offers of help. And people should try to start many move ments of this kind.

OIL TOWNS GROW
 QUICKLY IN OKLA.
Prairies Soon Converted Into
 Municipal Corporations

Oklahoma City, Okla, April G.
 Like mushrooms that spring up over
 night, Oklahomas oil towns have
 pushed their way into existence from
 the barren prairie or the rock -strewn hillside.
 In the wake of the "wildcatter," the
 lease sale and the inevitable derrick,
 these towns have reached their
 growth in twinkling and nourished on the golden pot of oil found at the end of the rainbow. With their un-
 painted buildings of fiimsy structure, tkese ephemeral villages blazon the trail of the oil scout who has crossed hill and dale in search of the under ground treasures of petroleum. The latest addition to Oklahoma's S oil towns is Shidler A few months ago it's site was known only as the southwest quarter of section 2S, in Csage county. But that was before the Osage lease sale held in Paw huska last December, when oil com panies and promoters paid $8,000,000 for leases on Indian lands. Then drilling began, and what had been barren plain, on the morrow was the site of a bustling town.
 Shidler has a school house, like towns of more sober growth. It was built from funds donated by lumber companies when school census re- vealed that AZ children in the village craved a chance at the Three R's." Then, too, Shidler is a railroad term mus, for the 12-mile line of steel from Foraker comes to an abrupt end in this ail-made village. And it has it's romance. Seven months before Shidler sprang from the prairie, T. A. Gale, young engineer, married an Osage Indian girl, the owner of many acres of open land the site of the fur ture village. Now the Gales live in town, along with hundreds of other folk.
 Whiz-b -bang-a word familiar to the doughboy who fought mud and Ger mans in trenches in France--was the oil town sensation before Shidler pop ped into the world. It, too, is located in the Osage Indian country and start led the natives with it's sudden growth anu open NloldtloI ol 6dHipliilS anu prohibitory statutes. A law-abiding element in the county, however, start ed a vice crusade which ended in the busting of the sheriff, after trial at the county seat of Pawhuska, and now Whiz-bang is tanned. The original owner of the town-site was Miss Eileen De Nova, 19 year old French Indian girl. Only recently Miss De- Nova sold her holdin8 and the town dropped it's wartime cognomen and adopted the more prosaic De Nova.
 Then there are the oil towns of oth- CT years, which have thrived on the pools of crude tappde by the drillers and grown into respectable, tncorpor- 1 ated towns with stable governments,

COAL HERE.

There is plenty of coal in this city to last for two months if the demand remains normal. If, however, people become ag1tated over the coal strike and "stock up" there will be serious shortage here as the result. A few selfish people will thus jeopardize the comfort of the great majority.
 This is the situation in regard to both hard and soft coal. Needless to gay the right thing to do is for con- sumers to purchase only what they need and no more. If it has been supply this summer 1t is presumed that they there will be no objection to their doing that, as the coal dealers make this statement with the normal consumption in mind.
 This summer, however, or this spring, there should be no altering the customary manner of purchasing if IuC WcIIdIC Ol dll tiC pSopiC lS " bS considered It is believed that the local dealers would prefer that no one put in next winters supply now. At any rate that course would make the local situation safer. shortage of coal in this city would bring a delay in the approach of better times that are looked forward to for this spring and early summer. No one can af- ford to place any obstacle in the way of that happy time.

ENGLAND-U. s. TIES.

The practical ties between England
 and the United States, growing closer
 and closer every day whether we like it or not, are pointed out merely as facts. Circumstances, aided and abet- ted by Lloyd George almost openly, and viewed at least calmly at Wash
 ington, are fastening those ties tight
 CT
 Now one of the greatest of all ties,
 if not the greatest, has been woven.
 That is the tie of money. England
 owes us a huge sum and so does
 France. France owes England almost as much as she owes us. England in- dicates that she will pay us our in- terest at the same time telling France that she must pay her, England, part of what she owes England. England knows that nothing makes person so popular with another, or a na- ton so popular with another nation, as to impose no obstacle in the way of paying a just debt. It may easily be imagined that England, being in the best financial condition of any of the countries of Europe, which is not saying a great deal, is most ready to facilitate payment to the United States where such payment will bring her still closer to the United States in interest.
 France sees the prospect of getting very little money, comparatively speaking, from Germany this year. If Germany does not pay, France feels she should not be pressed. She feels her debts to England should wait un- til she receives the money due her She frowns, therefore, on England's complacency in the face of England pay the interest due the United States when the three year period of postponement of payment expires. The agreement to relieve France from payment to England, in- expires shortly after that time.
 There will be no formal written American British alliance. No for nal treaty or alliance is needed. There will be no pledge to aid in war. There will be need of none. The strongest | force known will make the alliance, will obviate the necessity of q war

GERMAN SPIRIT DEAD
Leader of Democratic Party Declares Militarism in That Country is Gone Forever.

Copenhagen, April 6. = Philip Scheidema,nn, leader of the German Democratic party. while here told The Associated Press that German mili- tarism was dead forever. The spirit of democracy had levelled Germany to that extent that the German repub-
 lie could easily withstand any reac- tionary assaults.
 Foreign countries, he said, eXagger- ated the political importance of the power of the German reactionaries. The Communists were no real danger either. They were only gradually groping their way into the German trade unions lin order to learn their political manners"
 Discussing the relations of Germany with Russia, Herr Scheidemann said the German government had negotiat- ed with Karl Radek, Russian Soviet agent in Berlin. He expressed the opinion that the murder of Count Mirback, for which no apology had been received, presented no real bar rier against the two nations arriving at an understanding.

j. S. PLANS THREE
BUILDINGS IN CITY
Mellon, Daugherty and Work
Look Over Site Near New
Court House.

Three members OF President Har-
ding's Cabinet at a conference with
city officials yesterday took up the
proposal that the city give the Gov
ernment land in the vicinity of the
new court house site in exchange for
the old Post Office site. The Cabinet
members-Secretary Mellon of the
Treasury Department. Attorney-Gen-
eral Daugherty and Postmaster Gen
eral work-considered a plan where
by there would be erected on this land
a new Post Office and a building to
house the Federal courts and the De-
partment of Justice.
In effect this will place all of the
three buildings on the court house
site, as the land which it is proposed
to give the Government Immediately
adjoins the property on which the
court house is to be erected. Post
master General Work said that the
plans would be Immediately presented
to Congress, and that Treasury De-
partment architects would come TO
New York soon to work out with Guy
Lowell, architect Of the court house.
a harmonious composition for the
three buildings.
Comptroller Craig said he believed the
erection OF the proposed buildings would
Justify the city in furnishing the site.
The Cabinet members spent a short
time with Mayor Hyian at City Hall
and then went to the Municipal Building
with Commissioner Whalen and Comp
troller Craig From there they obtained
a good view OF the court house site and
the land adjoining. on part of which
stands the building used by the Depart
rent OF Health.
Next the party went to the old Post
Office and then to the varck street
branch post office, a four story building,
