that District q, United Mine Workers
the detunct Bank of Commerce at Ok
mulgee, plunged the special convention
of the district into a discussion OF the
banking situation in Oklahoma at the
morning session of the gathering here
Wednesday,
Several references We're made to Gov.
ernor Robertson in connection with the
failure of the bank and the general
banking situation in the state.
Referring in a heated manner to re-
ports which he said reached his ears
that lie had been accused of irregularity
in regard to placing the money in the
failed bank, President Wilkinson de-
clared that "lf there are any accusa-
tions against me in regard to the Ok
mulgee matter, let them charge it and
prove it.
IF it is true, as Oscar Ameringer in
fers, that we are lined up with Governor
Robertson and know where the money
went, then you should put us in Jail
and not out of office" the president de-
cared.
THE Oklahoma Leader investigated
the placing of this money in the Okmul.
gee bank" Wilkinson continued, 'but
no charges have been made against any
official of the district. l will welcome
any charge they want to make"
| Wilkinson declared that the executive
board had desired TO take the district $
money out of state banks when the
first reports were circulated as to the
alleged insecurity Of the state guar.
anty fund, but that, because Of consti-
tutional limitations, this had been i'm.
possible.

Leader before the convention failed
early in the morning session when the
convention voted to defer the sub.
ject until after a report had been made

OF the Chilean view. AS consequence
of the sudden prominence given this
difference of view between the two
governments. optimism over the success
Of the direct negotiations here was not
really demolished, and there was cor.

possible mediatory steps by some out

ADlO-WAVE-LENGTHS
BILL READY FOR ACTION
Representative White to Introduce
Measure at Once-May Fix
Transmitting Times.

The long-looked-for radio bill, which
WI give secretary Hoover authority to
designate wave lengths and, if neces-
sary, hours for transmitting and broad
casting stations. will be introduced in
the House of Representatives very soon
perhaps late today.
Following the departmental approval
OF the draft of the bill. based upon the
recent recommendations of the techni-
cal and legal committees of the radio
conference, Representative White Of
Maine is now ready to introduce it,
Upon introduction the bill will be re-
ferred to the commerce committee
which is now struggling with the ship
subsidy bill 1t is now believed that
Senator Kellogg will await the arrival
of the House bill in the Senate before
offering his amendment TO prevent the
formation of a radio trust.
According to officials. the bill will in
corporate as far as practical the recon-
menGations of Secretary Hoover's radio
conference committee. and amend the
present laws enacted on August 13,
mated and necessary additions made to
carry out the recommendations of the
committee.
BackerS of the radio bill are of the
opinion that 1t will pass through the
House speedily and meet with little op-
position in the Senate, as nearly every
state is enthusiastic in radio develop
ment, and the bill will not only clear
the ether. but will clear up many diff
cult situations in the administration of
present radio law. by granting the Sec
retary of Commerce additional au-
thOrtty.

The Bulwarks

The bulwarks of our liberty are
threatened every day; some crisis
rises, fierce to see, and all alarmists
bray. They tremble for the future
course of this, our native land; and
they crate until they're hoarse, an
eagle in each hand. 1t was the same
when l was young, hundred years
ago; the orator unwound his tongue
and waved it to and fro. But little
comfort could l find in all the wordy
DIN; our sacred bulwarks. under
mined, were swiftly caving in. And
even now | can't forget the long
nights i'll my room, where l would
lie awake and fret about our coun-
try's doom. | used to sit around and
brood, and rend my costly duds; |
lost my appetite for food. and
couldn't drink my suds. But as the
weary years rolled by our country
thrived and bloomed, and our pal
ladiums stacked high. nor knew that
they were doomed. Our government
grew great and strong. our banner
paved the air. our bulwarks, that
were doomed so long, were right
side up with care. And so l ban
lShed from my soul the fears long
had nursed, | ceased to let the briny
roll, and cheer-up smiles diSbursed.
And now when some sad candidate
expands his silver throat, expound-
ing threats of doom and fate, he
tails to get my vote.

Real estate agents before being
entitled to a commission must not
only find purchaser able, ready and
willing to buy, but upon the identi-
Cal terms authorized by his principal
Any change in terms by the agent
may deprive him Of his commission.
The District Court of Appeals so
held yesterday. when 1t reversed 4
judgment for $3.50 awarded by the
District supreme Court to William
u. Sullivan against Christian Heu-
rich. Attorneys Tobriner & Graham
appeared for Mr.. Heurich. The
opinion was written by Justice Van

Sullivan secured a purchaser for
a house at S1S.J00. which he had been
authorized to sell by Mr.. Heurich on
terms of $4,000 cash, first trust of
$4,000 and a second trust of $1,000
payable 800 per month" The con-
tract with the purchaser called for

unlike the crystal, which prevents the
low of current backward at all times.
The vacuum tube will only act in this
manner when the filament Is hot.
When it is cold no electrons are dis
charged from the filament to the
plate to carry the current. Just as
soon. however. as the filament is
heated, the electrons are discharged
and as they speed by millions across
the space between the filament and
the plate they carry the electrical
current. as we call it.
Use Of Storage Battery.
1t is to heat the filament and cause
this charge of electrons that the
storage of IA battery is used in the
vacuum tube set. But you can read
lily see that If this discharge from the
flament were allowed to continue the
plate would be filled to overfiowing

the plate. This is known as battery
"B." We would not be able to use

coil of wire about the filament. which
we call grid" The grid makes it
possible for the flow of electrons be-
tween the tilament and the plate to

waves. and thus transformed to
sound waves in the phones.
The grid surrounding the filament
is connected with the aerial or wires
that bring in the radio waves. varied
or made irregular by the sounds of
the voice or music in the transmit

through the grid the latter alter
nately repels or cuts off portion Of
the electrons flowing from the fila

the current reaching the plate va
ries in the same way as the radio
waves. but instead of being in the
form of an alternating current. is
direct current, which may be carried
through a telephone receiver and
thus made to produce sound waves
exactly like those which were made
In the transmitter of the sending
station.
The most wonderful thing about
the vacuum tube Is that it not only
serves as detector and modulator
for the receiving set. but may be used
