Among the reasons given by the

Chickasha seemed TO be a town with

tion and the rich country surround

on the latter point by number OF

said they had had opportunities in
other cities where the prospects were

There is no more pleasant place 10

Non-Partisans Predict Defeat OF Nc.

Rushing to His Aid In Last

Strength Of Non-Partlsans Predicted

| (United Press Staff Correspondent
ia. go, N. d., June 27.--Non-parti-
sans. fighting to come back at to-
morrows North Dakota primary, are
confident that Lynn j. Frazier will
defeat Senator Porter j. McCumber
for the republican senatorial nomi-
nation.
They claim McCumber unable to
overcome most of the odds against
him, is beaten. Yet, staunchest sup
porters of McCumber, who has spent
"a years in Washington, are unable
to conceive the possibility of his
defeat.
An eleventh hour effort to patch
up factional differences among the
independent republicans and swing
full support of non-partisan oppo-
sition to McCumber, is under way.
Many independents deeply resent
ed the fact thate eMcCumher took no
part in the recall election last year
when the non-partisans were defeat
ed. This resulted in failure of the
jamestown independent convention
to endorse him. They also are an
gered by McCumber remaining in
Washington during the present cam
paign.
Every effort was made to induce
Governor r. A. Hestos to. make a
formal announcement endorsing Nc
Cumber's candidacy, on the eve of
the balloting.
The national administration and
McCumber's colleagues in Washing
ton, fearing his defeat would be
greater blow to the old guard than
the Iowa or Pennsylvania primaries,
rushed to the senator's aid. at the
last minute. No one here takes
very seriously the candidacy of
Ormsby McHaig, the third man in
the race for the republican sena-
torial nomination. His vote will be
negligible, according to observers in
all parts Of the state.
McCumber's close advisers here
believe he will need $4,000 former
non-partisan votes to get the nomi-
nation. Some of his staunchest sup
porters admit his chances to secure
that support are slim.
In the gubernatorial race, inde-
pendents are predicting the renomi-
nation of Nestos by from 5000 to
$4,000 votes. The non-partisans be-
lieve, however, that B. f. Baker will
give Nestos a close run.
The general belief is that Nestos
will poll much heavier vote than
McCumber.

formed today by Consul Shaw at
Tampico.
The Aguade camp Of the Cortez
Oil company was seized by the rebel
general Coronado, Shaw advised the
department. A force OF 240 heavily
armed men have been placed on
guard over the camp and the forty
Americans employed there by the
company. No Mexican troops are in
the vicinity and the lives of the
Americans are believed to be in
danger.
The company has appealed to the
American authorities for protection.
Secretary of State Hughes has in
structed Charge d'Affaires Summer
lin at Mexico City to make the most
urgent representations to the Mexi.
can government.
The consul at Tampico likewise
has been ordered to take all posi-
BILE steps to procure the immediate
release of the Americans and tho
abandonment of the camp.
Word of the capture Of the Aquade
camp with its forty American work
ers was sent by Consul Shaw to
Tampico and was dated June 26, in
dicating the capture took place on
Sunday.
Officials believe Shaw's message
was held up by the Mexican censor.
The 4S hours expires today, 1t was
indicated. Immediately after re-
ceiving news of the second capture
of Americans within four days.
Hughes dispatched identic notes to
George Summerlin, American charge
at Mexico City. and Shaw directing
them to make demands ON the Next

lease of the Americans aud punish
ment of perpetrators of the out
rage"
This government is aroused by
the two incidents, it was made plain
at the state department, and will
insist that the Mexican government
take all steps necessary to punish
the bandits and guarantee Ameri-
cans against further raids.
The captures will be discussed at
today's cabinet meeting it was in
dicated.
Both the war and navy depart
ments are watching the situation, it
became known. They are keeping
in touch with the incidents through
the state department
Nearly week ago the war de-
partment learned that rigid cen
sorship had been made effective by
the Mexican government. The delay
in Shaw's message is indicative that
the censorship is still in effect.
Why the censorship was declared,
the war department officials said
they were not appraised.

RANSOM MONEY
is RECOVERED
SS,000 Paid Chinese General for
Native Methodist Pastor Has
Been Returned.

| Chicago. March 25.-The $4,000
ransom recently paid by the Meth
odist mission conference at Foo
Chow. China, to General Ma Yum
of the Picking governm ent, for the
life and liberty of a native district
superintendent of the organization,
has been returned. according to a
cablegram just received from Bishop
F. T. Keeney of China, it was
learned here today through the COM
mittee on conservation and ad-
vance.
The arrest and incarceration of
Rev. Six l. Siong, of Yungchun,
Fukin province, about one hundred
miles south of Foo-Chow, was
caused by General Ma Pu-Yun, who
was avowedly Christian. The
general tried to take away the
lands held by missions and de-
manded the sum of $4,000 for the
person of Rev Mr.. Six. His mill
tary doctor, Liu, obtained evidence
against Rev. Mr.. Six, by fraud, and
threatened to cause Chinese SOL
diers to assault foreigners. The
sum of $4,000 was accepted by the
general and Rev. Mir. Six released.
Through the American consul at
Foo-Chow and the expected visit of
a destroyer flotilla to that port, the
MethodistS finally succeeded in get
ting General Ma dismissed and the
ransom returned. The mission,
which operates under specific
treaty rights, was able to prove con-
spiracy TO blackman and extortion.

MEDAL IS GIVEN
BY N0TRE DAME
Charles Patrick NeilI. Former Com.
missioner Of Labor, to Receive
Laetare Medal.

South Bend, Ind, March 25.-The
University of Notre Dame will con-
fer the Laetare medal tomorrow
upon Charles Patrick Neill, former
commissioner of labor, according to
an announcement made by the fac
ulty of that institution. This honor
is annually conferred upon some
member of the Catholic laity whose
service to the public at large is
deemed worthy Of recognition on
Laetare day, which is the fourth
Sunday in Lent.
Charles Neill was commissioner
Of labor from 1905 to 1913, under
Presidents Roosevelt, Taft and Will
son. Since his resignation he has
served in various capacities as a
member of the executive committee
of the American Smelling & Rein
ing company, and as manager of
the Southeastern Railways bureau
Of information. Previous to 1905
he was head OF the economics de-
partment of the Catholic university
at Washington.
The custom began at Notre Dame
in 1883. 1t was adapted from the
European custom, according to
which the pope blesses an emblem
in the form of a golden rose on
Laetare day. This emblem is then
conferred on some noted Catholic
lay person.
