VETERANS CUT OFF
CLAIM THAT PAYMENTS ARE
ILLEGAL IS ANNOUNCED
AS REASON
PROTESTS POURING IN FAST
Ex-Service Men Attack Comptroller
General's Tecnical Interpretation
'-ofWhmhThousands Depend
For Allowances
Washington Thousands of world
war veternns have been cut off from
compensation for permanent total ris-
ability as a result of a ruling by Com-
ptroller General McCarl it became
known recently.
Mr. McCarl Avho recently appoint-
ed under the budget law decided that
the war risk bureau's regulation per-
taining to total permanent disability
in certain cases was not authorized by
the war risk insurance law. Pay-
ments amounting to several million
dollars if is understood are illegal
and under McCarl's ruling monthly
allowances for this class of disability
must cease.
The war risk regulation whfqh Mc-
Carl's ruling renders invalid -provides
for the payment of permanent total
disability compensation underthe iol
lowing conditions:
When the disabled personlBon the
date of the issuance of this'VoguJa-
tion or hereafter shall be either an in-
mate of a hospital or asylum during a
continuous period of six months or
more; or on the date of tho issuance
of this regulation is or hereafter and
temporarily disabled tor a continuous
period of six months or more and
be unable to follow continuously any
substantially gainful occupation dur-
ing such six months in addition at
Uo time of the medical examination
hereinafter prescribed shall be. found
then to be In such physical or mental
condition as to require further hospi-
talization or otherwise unable to fol-
low continuously any substantially
gainful occupation.
Protests trom ex-service men affect-
ed by the order are pouring in upon
congress in large numbers. It was
conceded generally that McCarl's rul-
ing was technically correct and that
legislation would bo required to cor-
rect the situation.
TO PROBE SALE OF TRUCKS
Material Handed Over to Be Used
Only On Highways Sold for Profit
Washington Discovery of a great
national steal has been made by fed-
eral investigators in connection witn
the millions of dollars worth of sur
plus war materials which has been
turned over gratis to different states
lor a specified purpose road build
Ing. Presumably those states or
tome of them have been selling 'that
material. '
Automobiles Trucks Tractors road
scrapers cement mixers gasoline en-
gines and in fact all equipment nec-
essary for road building has been
handed over to the states by the war
department under the authority of
congress. Now congress is prepar-
ing a complete investigation of the al-
leged bad faith on tho pait ol the
Btates.
Large demands of some of the stat-
es for this road building machinery
aroused tha federal suspicion. Iu-
quiry was made developing the fret
that in some cases tho equipment in-
stead of being used on tho roads was
being sold at ridiculously low prices.
Under tha survey being made dis-
position of every piece of machinery
will be determined.
Sfator Wndsworth of New York
and Representative MacGrogor of the
Bame state have both undetiaken a
collection of the evidence in the mat-
ter for petition to congiess. Mean-
time the war department and the de-
partment of justice agents are at-
tempting to dingle out tho guilty sta-
tes and to determine what individuals
were responsible for the illegal diver-
sion. FORCES ARE SURROUNDED
Ship Workers Fight Police; Fifty In-
jurcd in Clash; Temple Guarded
Kobe Japan. Tho labor disputes
here are again being marked by
bloody fighting. Rioting occurred re-
cently in which it j estimated that at
least fifty persons wcie wounded and
a sanquinary clash occurred when dis-
regarding the ban upon any public de-
monstration 7000 ship yard strikers
paraded to a local shrine singing la-
bor songs and shouting condemnation
of the action of the authorities during
the clash which was denounced as oppressive.
Gives His Life Fighting Flrs
New York "I'm going to get Char-
lie Oliver' shouted Joseph A Flana-
gan a fireman who won the distin-
guished service ctoss on the Hhlden-
burg lino and. plunged Into a gasflllod
cellar. He lost his life. Oliver was
rescuerd. The fireman's body was
fouSd at the foor of the cellar steps.
The cellar was only 4 feet deep and
he had been compelled to bend al-
most double to reach his friend. Eight
other firemen were overcome by fbo
eucaplng gas. .

board fo insuio fair treatment for tho
American merchant ships In the a-
ward of trading privileges In foielgn

Increase Capital Stock
Almost $40000000 increase in build-
ing and loan company capitalization
occurred In Oklahoma during the year
1920 according to the fiscal repart
J ot the secretary of state submitted
I to Governor Robertson by C. J. Ken-
die assistant secretary of state.
I It wna nnJntorl nitt r Hii oocslot-
ant secretary of state that the capi-
talization increases afford a real ex
' position of the home building movo-
I ment in Oklahoma. The majority of
the companies represented on his rec-
I ord sell their stock or lend money
! to home owners or prospective ones
and the increases point indirectly to
I the number of new homes being buflt
I The secretary of state's office Is
' more concerned with the amounts of
J increases than the total figures of
home loan capitalization. The state
i gets $1 on overy $1000 of capital
stock increase recorded at the secre-
tary of state's office. Hence his re-
' port is made a table giving amounts
of increases during the year ratrer
than ono showing what capital in-
vested in building and loan stock was
and what it is now.

J Wilson Ice Price Held Reasonable
l Investigation by the corporation
commission of the Wilson Ice and
Coal company which servos the Hew-
itt and nearby oil fields and charges
$1 cash and 90 cents by coupon books
for 100 pounds of ice resulted in tho
discovery according to commission
authorities that the price Is reason-
able. The Wilson company covers a
wldo territory tho investigation show-
ed and members of the commission
decided that considering expenses the
icharge thougr perhaps as high as

BANKERS TO GIVE OIL AID
Committee Named to Request Federal
Reserve Board to Make Ruling
Immediately.

planning financial aid for tho oil pro-
ducers according to L. K. Meek pies-
Ident or the Security State bank of
this city who just returned from u
bankeis' conlereuce of the tenth fed-
eral leservo district at Kansas City.
A committee was named to memorize
tho lederal reserve board at Kansas
City and Washington to accopt paper
trom producers for rediscount.
Under the present ruling of tho ro-
Berve board warehouse Inventories
and producing leases will not be ac-
cepted by the Kansas City reserve
bank for rediscount and member
banks therefore cannot offer such
pioducers paper to that bunk for ro-
discountlng. Upon the outcome of tho
memorial to the head banks dopends
whether or not the producers will be
able to obtain monoy from tho mem-
ber banks.
"The producers aio tho only group
whoso paper Is not being accepted."
said Meek. "The transporter carry-
ing oil in his pipelines; tho manufac-
turer with oil In his refineries and the
Beller with oil in his station may of-
fer the paper for rediscount. Tho
warehouse Inventory ot the producer
and his producing leaBe have not been
accepted and thoretore a momter
bank cannot accept much of this pa-
per. Everybody Is getting credit but
the producer and it was to work out
a plan whereby his paper would be
eligible that the bankers met tt Kau-
' eas City.
FRUIT TO SURPASS 1920
Oklahoma Apple Yield Will Be Wortn
More Than Million
In spite of the heavy frost which
is was feared spelled ruin to Oklaho-
ma fruit crops the state will yield
a bigger crop of fruit this year than
in 1920 according to the statement of
J. A. Whitehurst president ol tho
state board of agriculture.
Except in tho extreme northwest
and the northern tier of counties ap-
ple orchards are proving trey will
bear better crops if not bigger ones
than last year according to White-
hurst. The president of the board
of agriculture declined to make even
an unofficial estimate this early in
the season but predicted the apple
crop would bring the state more than
$1000000.
Whitehurst declared that due to
neglect Oklahoma has not more than
half of the aple trees It had in 1920.
Efforts are being made by the or-
chard nursery division of the depart-
ment of agriculture to boom interest
in apples thic year. A special de-
partment of the state fair will be
! turned over to them this year for tho
firBt time. Whitehurst declared.
Tho agricultural board president's in-
terest In the pressing forward of Ok-
lahoma as an aple state is explained
in part by his statement. "Oklahoma
has as much good apple land as Ar-
kansas.' Calvin Bridge to be Opened Soon
