Here is Charic
Marry Withou
Of Cost to Covple
Any couple who wishes t get
married should take advantage
of the opportunity offered by
Lawrence Shead, manager of the
Campus theatre, who agrees to
pay for the license and the
preacher to any couple who con-
sents to have the ceremony per-
formed in the lobby of the in-
side of the theatre.
It's all on account of the big
picture they are featuring. Viola
Dana in "Please Bet Married."
This is one of the best Viola
has made in months, and is in-
deed a treat to Norman theatre
fans.
The lobby of the Campus has
been decoratted to resemble the
marriage altar in the "Little
Church Around the Corner,"
where so maijy couples have
been made happy. The arch
stood over the contracting par-
ties of a "real, sure-enough"
wedding Wednesday night, and
is a beauty.
Old shoes, rice, confetti, bells
and other decoration., make the
lobby appear as a real wedding
place, and you who miss it are
missing something.
The picture will be shown to
day for the last time.

CHICAGO, June 3. Jake L. Ha-
j mon's faction suffered defeat in the
j contest over the fifth Oklahoma* dis-
j trict delegation before the national
' committee today.
j The committee seated W. H. P.
Trudgeon and Mrs. Frank D. North-
I rup of Oklahoma of Oklahoma City,
Chis Madson of Guthrie and Mrs. J.
S. Pearson of Marshall, delegates
elected at the district convention
controlled by John Embry, instead
of Seymour Price of Oklahoma City
and Fred Reed of Norman, Hamon
delegates. C. Lincoln Maguire of
Murray county and Mrs. Nellie Sco-
thorn of Oklahoma ciunty were alter-
nates elected by Hamon forces.
During the fight, J. J. McGraw
charged that the Hamon-Whitting-
ton Mortgage company had loaned
Vernon T. Whiting, Oklahoma state
chairman, $50,000 on the day before
the fourth district convention, when
Whiting's famous ruling that the new
committeemen should sit on con-
tests was made for Hamon's use.
Record On File, McGraw Says.
McGraw asserted that the records
are on file in the Osage county court-
i room.
j McGraw defied the Lowden steam
roller in his successful battle, threw ;
off the negineer and closed the j
! throttle, temporarily at least. Until 1

test, Johnson had gained two and |
i Wood had lost thirty-six.
Miss Ida Proffitt returned Thurs-

DO NOT SANCTION THEM
AND ARE NOT CONNECTED

The following resolutions are the
action of the interfraternity council
at a meeting held yesterday. The
confusion existing in the public mind
is corrected, and the secret societies
of the university are not sanctioned,
They follow:
Whereas, all national Greek letter
fraternities in the University of Ok-
lahoma have been established with
the approval of the authorities of
the university, and all charter mem-
bers thereof have been specif callv
recommended for membership and
Whereas, all members of the fra-
ternity are known and are responsi-
ble both for their individuals actions
and for the actions of their frater-
nity; and
Whereas, the fraternity itself is
not responsible not only to th° uni-
versity authorities but to their own
national organizations and are in
most cases the owners of property,
thus giving them both stability and
responsibility; and
Whereas, the purpose of these fra-
ternities is exclusively the advance-
ment of the welfare of the universit-
! ty, and the improvement of its mem-
bers in scholarship, character, and
good fellowship; and
Whereas, these fraternities have
worked in closest cooperation with
the authorities of the university in
the development of all that is most
desirable m university life, and in
the suppression of all undesirable
acts and tendencies therein; and years have worked as deputy county

About a month ago when the
state editors met at McAlester,
a trip through the penitentiary
was one of the program features
One section of the penitentiary
is devoted to making the state
auto license tags.
When the Transcript delega-
tion went through, the prisoner
explained the mechanism to the
folks, showing them how the
numbers were automatically
changed and the figures raised
on the tag.
The tag then being worked on
was 170,311.
This week when R. H. Parham
received his fags for his car, the
number was 170,311, the tags he
had watched the prisoner make,
not knowing at the time that he
would be the party to receive
them.

The arrest of the defendant and
his companion, Earl Walker, was ef-
fected by Sheriff Jack Smith,and De-
puty Sheriff John Lively on the Yu-
kon road two miles southeast of El
Reno at about 10 o'clock Sunday
night. Unaware of the enormity of
his crime, Lumpkin dictated a singu-
ed statement Monday morning to
Sheriff Smith, in which he told the
complete circumstances leading up to
the tragedy. He cleared his compan-
ion of all blame in the accident by
the statement that he was asleep at
the time, and knew nothing' of it.
The first intimation of the gravity
of his crime came to Lumpkin when
the charge of murder was read to
him in the arraignment in the cont.ty
court at 11 o'clock Monday morning.
He became pale and was unable to
say but little i nhis own defense, save
