Mayor Feels Sure Atmosphere
Will be Cleared at Hearing
on March Ninth.

SULPHUR, Okla.-The final col
lapse OF the Bank OF Commerce, Muir.
ray county's biggest banking institu.
ton, brings about the greatest finan-
cial disaster that has ever happened in
this community. In times past Sulphur
has gone through some fiery ordeals,
financial crashes and reverses, but it
is not likely that any Of them had
such a far.reaching and disastrous
result as has the closing OF this in
stitution.
Considerable excitement has prevail
ed. both by reason Of the large num-
Der Of depositors, who have their
money tied up temporarily and by the
rumors that have reached here Of the
strained condition OF the state guaran-
ty fund, which has been hit by score
or more Of bank failures in the last
few months.
Unsteady for Months
Several months ago the bank Of
Commerce. with its tremendous loans.
among the farmers, felt its first tre-
NOR. but the instant rallying Of its
friends and almost tine entire citizen
ship OF the town saved the institu-
ton and it was thought the bank
had been put on solid footing. how
ever through persistent street rumors.
q steady drain was being carried on
and after February %. the officials
voluntarily closed the doors and start
ed a reorganization movement which
was nearly completed by aid Of out
side capital and friends Of the bank
here.
A self-constituted committee Of citi.
zens had started an investigation about
the bonds that had been deposited by
the city and for which the city has a
certifioation Of deposit. and learned
that these bonds had been placed in
other banks throughout the state as
collateral for loans that had been ex-
tended to the Bank Of Commerce, it
Is stated.
Hope for Adjustment
From this rumors have arisen until
today one may hear almost anything
upon the streets but the remaining
officials OF the bank and the examin-
ers are working over the books and
hope is not altogether destroyed Of an
early readjustment, an election OF new
officials and the reopcning Of the
Bank Of Commerce with its accom-
panying return Of confidence and nor
malcy.

GOVERNOR and OIL MAN HAVE FIST FIGHT
Texas Doctor Discovers Serum That
Prevents Person From Telling Lie;
First Aid to Officers, He Asserts

DALLAS, Texas.-Dr. Ernest House,
country physician Of Ferris, Texas.
who startled the nation by his discov.
cry OF truth serum" at last has brok.
en- his silence. He granted his first in
terview today to the Ardmoreite cor
respondent here.
DIR. Houses truth serum" Is drug
that he says paralyzes the imagination
and renders one who takes 1t incapable
OF telling a lie. It's practical value Is
in the examination Of criminals and
crime suspects.
The active element in this drug Is
scopolamin, the same substance that's
used in the twilight sleep method Of
painless childbirth
Long Reticent
When Dr. Houses discovery first
became known, DIR. House refused to
discuss it. He even refused to let
his name be made public. All because
Of medical ethics.
But
After successful tests OF the drug
had been made here
After a negro in the Dallas county
Jail obtained his freedom when he
took the truth serum" test when state
witnesses refused to accept the ordeal
After state authorities decided TO
permit tests at the state penitentiary
under joint supervision OF DR.. House
and State Health Officer John II.
Florence
DR.. House decided he could safely
speak.
II speak only with the intention Of
aiding those peace officers who wish
to test the efficiency OF truth serum"
Dr. House said
Encourages Experiments
THE best way to develop the pc
culiar qualities of this drug and its
value In criminology is to encourage
as many experiments as possible.
II make no extravagant claims for
the drug. l simply state that in
the cases of 500 women to whom I've
administered scopolamin in childbirth
cases In the last six years, the drug
has proved its power to inhibit imag.
nations and prevent the patient from
telling anything but the truth.
THE method of administering truth
serum is entirely different from the
technique advised for the sdministra
ton If %opolamin 10 induce twilight
sleep.
Stronger doses can be admins
tered for mind tests. The women In
childbirth is sates; whom condition
known us amnesia nas ben induced.
Deeper Sleep
"But in dealing with criminal q
deeper sleep, known as analgesia. musl
be brought about.
'In making tests important ques
tions should not be presented until
memory tests convince the operator
that the patients mind is in recep
tive mood.
Further. to insure absolute relia
bilty. the patient may be given a few
whiffs OF chloroform, the anesthesia
being carried far enough TO prevent
possibility Of the patient feigning.
"I want TO emphasize that scopola
min is harmless. The United States
