NUMBER 58
"Partly Cloudy"
Local forecast by the Federal
weather bureau at Oklahoma City this
morning for period ending 7 p. m.
Tuesday was:
"Partly cloudy and unsettled; not
much change in temperature."
For the state the predictions were:
"Tonight and Tuesday unsettled.
"Not much change in temperature-'
was true—if anything, it is a little
hotter today than yesterday, and yes-
terday seemed to be the limit.

Maybe it will bring rain.
: ROOK TERRACE AT KING HALL.
The wisdom of building in re-
inforced concrete was again illustrated
last night at King Hall, the parish
house of St. John's Episcopal church;
for by this method of construction it
is possible to secure a flat roof, where
people may assemble for either social
or religious gatherings. Another de-
lightful religious service was held
there on Sunday night in the cool air
above the tree tops. A representative
congregation appreciated the privilege,
and enjoyed the musical selections
rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Cain while
at the same time they were refreshed
by the soft breezes from the distant
prairie. These open-air Sunday night
services are proving an excellent solu
tion of the problem of church atten-
dance in mid-summer. The subject of
the brief talk by Mr. Griffith was,
'The Christian Use of Money." Next
Sunday night there will be a similar
service to which all are invited, pro-
vided the weather is suitable. The
King Hall terrace is unique, and is one
of many features in which Norman is
in the lead among the progressive
Oklahoma towns.

MARRIED—CASTILE-BOHRER
Mr. Andrew Castile of Tulsa, Okla.,
and Miss Lottie Bohrer, of Edmond,
were united in marriage at the home
of the bride's parents at Edmond, on
Saturday afternoon, August 19, 1916,
Rev. E. S. Benjamin officiating. Both
these young people are well known
here, the groom and his people having
resided in Norman for several years,
but leaving here to reside in Prairie
Grove, Ark., a few years ago. The
bride has lived here for a number of
years also, and is a graduate of the
University, and was with the Univer-
sity during the Summer school ses-
sion as an instructor in gymnasium
work for the children. Her parents
and brothers and sisters all were
students of our community until a
year ago or so, at which time they
went to Edmond to live,
A host of friends will rejoice with
this young couple in their happiness,
and wish them a journey of prosper-
ity and blessing. They expect to re-
side in Tulsa, Okla., where the groom
has a position with the Texas Oil Co.
as geologist. For a short time they
will enjoy a honeymoon trip in
Missouri and A;"- nsas.
—Mrs. H. P. Alden left Pittsburg,
Pa., last Saturday for Michigan, to
visit relatives, and is expected home
from there some time this week.
—Considerable comment was oc-
casioned by the marriage of Willie
Gill and Mrs. Frank Patterson, men-
tioned in Saturday's daily, principally
caused by the disparency in their ages,
the groom being but 20 years of age
while the bride is 46; also by the fact
that Mr. Patterson's will left the en-
tire property to Mrs. Patterson with
the condition that she did not marry
again. Her marriage causes her to
lose two-thirds of the property; one-
third being given to her by law. There
was considerable property in the
estate, which will now go to the chil-
dren, one or two of whom are married
. and have children of their own

evening, where he is holding court. He

that Sulphur has experienced.

Died: Comrade John A. ^reigh-
ton( aged 86, died at the home of Mr.
and' Mrs. Don Teel, near Independence
school house on Sunday, August 20,
1916, and was buried in Independence
cemetery on Sunday. General debility
was the cause of his death, and he had
been sick and very feeble for several
months. He was a brave soldier dur-
ing the war, and a respected citizen
in private life. No relatives are known
to survive him. He was an Ohioian
by birth and served in Co. F. 115 Illi-
nois Infantry during the war.

Little New in Strike
President** of Railroads Said to Have
a Counter Proposition to Make
—Hill On the Ground.
Washington, Aug. 21.—With the
arrival here today of Louis W. Hill,
president of the Great Northern, and
other western railway executives in
response to President Wilson's sum-
mons, important developments in the
threatened nation-wide railway strike
situation were looked for, although
no further general White House con-
ference was expected before Tuesday.
While the railroad officials tenta-
tively have refused to accept the set-
tlement plan proposed by President
Wilson that they grant an eight-hour
day with pro rata pay for overtime
and submit other issues to investiga-
tion by a federal commission, they are
said to be considering a counter pro-
posal. This is said to include arbi-
tration of some of the points in dis-
pute with the granting of others.
The committee of the 640 railway
brotherhood representatives who al-
ready have accepted the president's
proposal, continued today to mark
time pending the employers' decision.
—Often Physcultopathy gives the
only permanent relief in bladder and
urinary difficulties—Dr. Rice.
—Mr. and Mrs. Omer Young and
Mr. F. E. Young were here from Okla
homa City, Sunday. The law firm of
Young & Young occupy pleasant of-
fice rooms at 225^ West Main in the
city, and are working up an excellent
business. Both boys are reliable and
square, and deserve success.
KEEP SECRETS IN GERMANY.
j Clothing Held to Light and Some Per-
sons Bathed in Alcohol in Search
for Maps Drawn on Skin.
Copenhagen, July 80 (by mail).—
Everyone who leaves Germany tocfay
by way of Wamemuende for Denmark
is stripped. Ears, nose, teeth and toes
ire examined to see that no informa-
.ion of plans for the enemy are beins
carried out. Reichstag members, wives
of officials, correspondents and lnoor-
ers are treated the same.
When travelers leave the train they
enter a small wooden shed, resembling
a temporary bathhouse at an Ameri-
can beach. Here the passports are
taken away and examined. The holders
are given numbers.
When the passport of a traveler is
inspected he is called into another
room, where he is questioned about the
object of his journey. From here the
wayfarer goes into a large room
where baggage is examined, while de-
tectives stand in front and back to see
that nothing is slipped by.
Every scrap of paper or cardboard
is taken away, even wrappings and
paper lining to boxes. Cotton is re-
moved from medicine bottles. Cigars
are examined, some are cut open,
chocolate in scaled packages is opened,
the wrapping destroyed and half the
chocolate broken up into bits to see
that nothing is hidden.
Shoes with a new half sole are
opened. The searcher feels every-
thing, examines canes to see if they
ar hollow, opens umbrellas, holds
every collar up to the light to see that
nothing is written on the lining.
"GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP."
This Is the Idea ot' President Wilson
Should Railroad Managers Fin-
ally Reject liis Proposals.
Washington, Aug 19.-r-Seizure of the
railroads by the government and their
operation by the government, tempora-
rily at least, may be invoked by
President Wilson unless a settlement
of the railway wage controversy is
reached by Tuesday.
President Wilson is prepared to
take the most drastic and daring ac-
tion in the history of the republic if
necessary to avert a general railroad
strike and compel the carriers to yield
to the terms of settlement of the wage
dispute proposed by the Chief Execu-
tive with the approval of the unions.
Following the refusal of the railway
presidents today to accept the White
House 8-hour day plan the issuance
by Mr. Wilson of a statement tanta-
mount to an appeal for public approval
of his plan and the counter moveof the
employers in a public plea for arbi- i
tration, the character of the adminis-j
tration's scheme to whip the carriers i
into line became known.
In the event of a failure of the i
present negotiations the president, in
order to avert a strike, plans to ob-
tain legislation authorizing the federal
government to take all the railroads
threatened with a tieup and operate
them until such time as their owners
consent to put into effect the 8-hour
day with pro rata pay for overtime
and agree to a commission investiga-
tion of the time-and-a-half over time j

RAINS, PAST AND PRESENT.
