STUDY MARKET
SITE DATA

The District Commissioners to-
day began study of the maze of
statistics and arguments presented
to them during the past two days
to aid them in selecting a new site
for the Farmers Produce Market.
Impartial observers who have
watched the proceedings of the pub
lie hearing during the past two
days believe that the Commissioners
will eventually select either the
southwest or the lexington site for
the new market.
The Midcity site, which has been
one of the three most prominently
mentioned during the two years of
controversy, Is believed to be al
most out of the race, as are sew
eral less prominently mentioned rs.
cations.
The majority of farmers repre-.
scented at the hearing seemed to
favor the lexington site, though
the Virginia contingent and a small
proportion OF Maryland truckers
favored the southwest proposal.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
Is in favor of the lexington site.
The Pennsylvania, Southern and as
sociated railroads are in favor OF
the southwest. Other interests, In
Guiding grocery stores and whole.
sale merchants seemed to favor the
southwest.
The Commissioners, however, are
rar from decision, and it will
probably be at least another month
before they begin to compile their
report.

signed and sworn statement before
Commissioner Needham Turnage
that on July Is and IL they had
purchased liquor from Danny
Mills at 612 l. st. s. w.
Both men were suspected of max
ing fake cases because the evidence
they turned over to prohibition
agents showed that all Of their buys
on liquor were red liquor, of the
same grade When the raids were
made usually corn and gin were
found.
Police Get Suspicious
Following numerous instances of
this kind the police set a trap for
the two men and told them to make
buy from Danny Mills" at 612
Il st. =. w. Danny Mills in
reality, was Policeman s. Curtis, at
tached to the Sixth precinct. and
one OF the most trusted men on the
force.
Five policemen secreted them
selves In Curtis home and waited
all day for the two men. They
failed to show up but notwithstand-
ing this they reported that night
that thev had made a buy and
turned over to the police samples
Of liquor they said had been pur-
chased at the l. Street address.
Reprimanded BY Judge
Both. men, when sentenced today,
were severely reprimanned by
Justice Siddons. who declared tibet
their act was not only contemp.
tible In its nature, but that the
men had betrayed their Govern
ment were false to their oaths
and would have betrayed their
fellow men.
For a little money you not
only would commit the crime of
perjury. but would knowingly and
willingly convict an innocent person
and see him sent to the peni-
tentiary," the justice declared. Had
this not been their first offense.
he declared. he would have imposed
a much sitter penalty.
Davis only plea was that liquor
got the better of him. II had to
drink 50 much of my own evidence

4O[D MAN POET"
: IS TWO WOMEN
Bobbed-Haired Young Ma
irons Deceive Editors With
| ViriIe Pioneer Verses.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. July 30
One William Arthur Flowers, COW
puncher," appeared on the literary
horizon in Oklahoma some six months
ago.
His ballads OF the plains were
praised for their virility and strength.
Critics and editors declared that
only one who had lived as this old
man could write ballads like "kinzie
the Cattle Queen" or the Ballad of
Cherokee BILL" whose last words
were. Boys, you have done me
wrong"
Two Young Women.
Then, at the height of discussion.
"William Arthur Flowers" unmaSked
himself and turned out to be two
modern, bobbed haired young woman
writer's.
The perpetrators of the hoax were
Mrs. Maurine Halliburton MCGEE and
Mrs. Frances Billingsley. both OF
Oklahoma City.
The old man of the plains was CON
ceived after a meeting OF the Okla
homa Authors League at which they
had heard a number of plains ballads.
They wrote the ballads attributed to
Flowers by alternating on the verses.
The ballads were based on historical
events in Zoe Tilghman's Oklahoma
history.
Kept Up Deception.
The writer's sent their work to B.
A. Botkin, professor of English at the
University of Oklahoma and poetry
critic for the Authors League. He
took Flowers work to the January
meeting of the league. The members
received the 'old mans contributions
with enthusiasm. Two ballads We're
printed in Oklahoma magazines and
more were requested.
Mrs. MCGEE and Mrs. Billingsley
kept their identity hidden by CORE
spending through general delivery
and pretending Flowers" was too i'll
to attend league meetings or to meet
the members.
