With the election of the above offi-
cers for the ensuing year and the
closing of the business session the
bankers convention adjourned ut
noon today. Most of the bankers left
this afternoon but a number remained
and a smoker will be given for them
at the Elks club this evening.
Mrs. Ed Johns entertained the vis-
iting ladies at 4 a'clock this afternoon
and tonight they will attend the Mary
Peyton recital.
Up to eleven o'clock today there
had been two hundred and forty mem-
bers of the Oklahoma-Indian Terri-
tory Bankers' association signed the
membership register at headquarters
at the Early. On the visitors regis-
ter two hundred and twenty-one
names were registered. Most of these
latter are from eastern cities and
have come to the convention in the in
terests of their business and to get
acquainted with the business men of
the new state.
MORNING SESSION.
The morning session of the conven-
tion was called to order at 10:30 af-
ter a splendid concert had been ren-
der? 1 by the Chtoka'ha hunt. Mr.
C. W. Holbrook of Oklahoma City
was the first speaker and his 'address
was cne of the ablest of the entire

session. After a witty introduction
the speaker took up the history of
commerce and developed the evolution
of modern business giving the bank
er credit for the great work that is
performed by it. Back of war poli-
tics the captain of industry and all
stood the banker.
Geo. R. Allen secretary of the
American Institute of Bank Clerks
New York was the next speaker and
his proved to be a very popular
speaker. His fund of anecdotes was
unexhaustible. He spoke on the edu-
cation of the banker. Accuracy
promptness and the spirit of thor-
ough investigation were cardinal virt-
ues with the banker and to them must
be added technical training a knowl
edge of commercial law! and above
all the study of men the latter be-
ing nine-tenths of the banker's equip
ment. Executive ability was also a
red' ii'tc In d seussing business
standards and ethics the speaker de
dared that men were much like the
world over with the same standards
of honor and honesty. "I do not be-
lieve your standard in the west and
I know ours in the east is any higher
than that of John D. Rockefeller and
Harriman." The speaker concluded
with a splendid tribute to the women
of Oklahoma and his words were
"Oklahoma is God's latest and rich-
est land of Canaan; you have the
greatest opportunities in the world
here; everybody is watching you and
it is up to you."
Sidney J. Roy of Shawnee made a
fine presentation of the claims of the
Oklahoma-Jamestown Exposition Co.
and then the association listened to
more talks' from the visitors which
has proved such ar. interesting feat-
ure of the meeting.
W. 0. Jones of New York got off
by telling a story and it was a good
one and then Mr. Harrison of Kans-
as City sspffke. He brought forth
briefly and then the convention took
up reports of committees.
Reports of the auditing and reso-
lutions committees were read and
adopted and officers' were elected.
Following the taking of the chair
by the new president Mr. Blake Mr.
J. B. Ferguson on behalf of the citi-
zens and the Commercial club of
Enid asked the convention to come to
their town next year. The committee
on place for the next convention have
offers under consideration and met
this afternoon to discuss them. It
is not known j'.jet yet what town will
secure the convention.
Just before adjournment the presi-
dent read a letter from David R.
Francis of St. Louia in which he ex-
pressed his regret at being unable to
space to tell about Mrs. Schmook's
violin playing. There may be violin-
ists and violinists but there never
has bee before iu Chickasha a per-
former on this instrument who could
excel Mrs. Schmook. The piece was a
difficult one but the ease and aban-
don with which the performer handled
her instrument and the delightful
tone3 she drew from it completely cap-
tivated iie convention. She was
forced to respond to an encore and
she selected the ever beautiful "Sua-
nee River" one of the variation pieces
which was simply delightful.
Following Mrs. Schmook's solo
was a short paper by Mr. L. L. Dres-
er editor of the Commerce Monthly
of St. Louis in which he told of the
bet. of it to the bankers of what is

preceding spea'"T by declaring that

Harrison said he knew of no section
of the country that had made such a
i record in banking as Oklahoma. Mr.
Wells of Fort Worth responded in an
j able manner when jilled upon and
he too took a slap at the Rockefeller-
j Harriman standard of business char-
acter. Mr. Dominick after vainly

Afternoon Session
If there are those who think that a
bankers convention is a dry affair
and that simply drafts bills of lading
notes and s-ich other subjects are con-
sidered are very badly mistaken.
While such matters are of course of
vital interest to the bankers of the
community and ara discussed -in open
meeting other matters of especial in-
terest not only to themselves but the
public are discussed and are very en
tertaining.
Yesterday afternoon's session be-
gan about three o'clock with the op-
era house filled not a seat being va-
cant. While the members were gath-
ering the Chickasha concert band
rendered the 'Light Cavalry" over-
ture and other pieces which were
heartily enjoyed.
The chairman of the convention re
ported that the Executive committee
had recommended that the salary of
the secretary of the association be in
creased from $600 to $1000 per year.
The suggestion met with the approval
of the convention and it was carried
unanimously.
It was with no small amourt of re-
gret that the president was forced
to announce that the Hon. David R.
Francis v:cu! 1 not be able to be pres-
ent had been anticipated also that
Hon. C. N. Haskell candidate for
governor of the new state and S. W.
Hayes would neither of them be pres-
ent to address the convention having
both been called to Washington.
The next number on the printed
program was a violin solo by Mrs.
II. H. Schmook of Oklahoma City
and right here we want to take a lit-
tle more than the usual amount of

per was short but pointed with lots
of good information. It was highly
appreciated and enjoyed.
The president stated that an No-
vation in convention meetings would
be inaugurated and that was the "ques
tion box." Any member who want
ed information along certain lines
would be allowed the privilege -of
writing his question and giving it to
the secretary. It would be taken up
at the subsequent meeting and a dis-
cussion of the subject would follow.
Mr. McCarthy of Chicago a promi-
nent banker was called for and made
a short but interesting talk on the
value and the uses of Commercial
Paper. Mr. McCarthy showed that
he thoroughly understood his subject
and the bankers of the convention ap
preciated his timely talk which in
view of the fact that commercial pa-
per in the sense eastereners now think
oi it is almost a new phase of the
banking business here was duly ap
preciated.
Mr. S. G Whitson of New York
president of the American Bankers'
association and president of the Na-
tional City Bank of New York City
having just arrived in the city and
his presence being noted in the con-
vention was called for a speech. He
rather reluctantly came forward and
stated that his throat was giving him
some trouble and t'uat he could not
make the address he would expect to
make were he feeling better. He ex-
prissed his -appreciation of being able
to attend the convention and that he
was glad to know that it was in
such a flourishing conditon. Mr.
Whitson will perhaps make another
address before the convention today.
The next talk was by Mr. Chas. E.

Whereas conditions are such that
immediate statehood for Oidahoma
and Indian Territory is essential for
the welfare and prosperity of our
people therefore be it resolved: That
regardless of party affiiliiations we
call upon those in authority to give us
statehood at the earliest possible mo-
ment": And be it further resolved:
That h case of a temporary failure
to secure statehood we lespectfnlly
request the president and congress of
the United States to extend th laws
of Oklahoma over Indian Territory.
Whereas This association has
grown to such proportions that it is
advisable to divide the state into
groups; therefore be it resolve.!; That
the incoming executive committee be
empowered to divide the state into
group associations and appoint a
president and secretary for sucn !
groups and designate their first place
of meeting.
: Resolved That the thanks of the
association be extended to the bank-
ers of Oklahoma . and the mayor and
people of the city for their untiring
efforts to make our visit to thcir city
a pleasant one.
Resolved That the thanks of the
association be extended to the ladies
of Chickasha for the exceptionally
hospitable manner in which they have
received and entertained the visiting
ladies. "
Resolved That our hearty thanks
be extended to the president secretary
and other officers of the association
for thcir untiring efforts to increase
our membership and to the executive
committee for their wise administra-
tion of the affairs of the association
the past year.
The thanks of the convention are
cordially extended to Mrs. H. H.
Schmock for her beautifully rendered
number on the program.. We also
thank the Elks club for tendering us
the n nf th'? clvh yortm d f
various entertainments so royally pro-
vided by them.
In the reception tendered the visit-
ing lad'.cs and in the grand ball last
night Chickasha outdid herself in the
display of hospitality and the ability
to entertain. Both functions were
carried out with complete success in
every respect more than meeting the
expectations of the guests and those
who planned and executed them. The
ordinary adjectives used in describ-
ing such affairs "brilliant" "beauti-
ful" and the like give no adequate
idea of the character of these two
affairs; to fully appreciate the scenes
described you must have been there
and nearly everybody whs there on
one or the other of the occasions.
v THE RECEPTION
From three to five o'clock the wives
and daughters of the
other visiting ladies were entertained
with a. reception by the ladies of this
city. The elegant Elks' Home never
presented a scene of moi'5 bewildering
beauty the decorations being elabor-'
ate as well as artistic. Pink and
green was the color scheme and the
basket idea was carried out. In the
dining room pretty baskets of differ-
ent sizes filled with smilax sweet
peas and roses were tastefully ar-
ranged on tables and pendant from
the ceiling and the same plan vaa
carried out in the parlor decorations.
Near the entrance was the Chick-
asha orchestra behind a screen and
throughout the afternoon sweet music
was rendered to the great delight of
the guests. Here the receiving line
consisted of Mesdames Bridges Rus-
sell Rosenquest and Ileryer" and the
Misses Jennie and Ella Williams Hen
rietU Pyle and Vera Sherwood who
gave their guests the first greeting.
Passing into the first parlor a sec-
ond receiving line met tha visitors
composed of Mesdames Ed F. Johns
II. B." Johnson M. C. Cannon C. L.
Stone and the Misses Hewitt Cora
and Alma. Hamilton. From here the
guests passed to the second parlor
where they were graciously received
by Mesdames B. F. Johnson B. P.
Smith T. T. Johnson T. H. Dwyer
Sigmon Maxey and Wootten and the
Misses Woo;ten and Phillips. They
were then ushered into the diningroom
where Mesdanf?s Bond Stephens and
Gilkey received them and delicious
tea was served by the Misses Julia
and Alma Sigmon Phoebe Hampton
and Cornell of Fort Worth. In the
center of the room was a table cov-
ered with a pretty drrvn work cloth
over pink laden with silver tea ser-
vice cut glass nappes for the mint
sticks cut ghiss candelabra and rich
decorations. Ice cream was served
in dainty little baskets with a bunch
of sweet peas on the side of each and
diamond shaped cakes embossed with
sweet peas the long mint sticks also
being embossed in the same manner.
All the visiting ladies and scores
the afternoon and the costumes worn
made the scene all the more brilliant.
The ladies on the entertainment com-
mittee were showered wjjh ror.gratu-
tions and expressions of thanks at
the close.
THE BALL
The very disagreeable weather
seemed to have no dampening effects
on those who attended the ball in hon-
or of the bankers last night at the
Elks' Home. It evidently kept none
away for the largest crowd that ever
filled the spacious Elks' rooms were
there and enjoyed the evening to the
fullest extent.
; Chickasha society and Chickasha
business men acquitted themselves
handsomely in entertaining the Oklahoma-Indian
Territory bankers and
their wives. Perhaps never before
ii... ii t il. J I Al : i
bankers and 1 naa lnere Deen samereu in uie cuy a
smarter crowd and one that more iui-
ly represented the people of the great
new state than those present at the
ball. . "
An air of good-fellowship and the
spirit that assures a good time was
there in every member of the local
committee and the citizens of the city
and their wives. There were no "wall
flowers" everybody took pleasure in
introducing the visitors and if there
was one who failed to meet a number
of those present or did not spend a
pleasant evening it was his own fau'.i
but there were none.
It was nine o'clock when Fox's or-
chestra started the music for the
grand march in which over one hun-
dred couples took part. Mr. and Mrs.
T. H. Dwyer led this particularly
pleasing feature atter whtch pro-
grams were distributed and little
time lost in getting them filled.
Twelve numbers and several extras
were on the list. The spacious floor
of the Elks lodge room was crowd-
ed during the early part of the ev-
ening but after a little the parlors
smoking rooms and hallawys each
had a crowd of its own leaving the
ball room floor to the dancers. De-
licious fruit punch was served dur-
ing the evening.
Most of the visitors who had not be-
fore visited the Elks' rooms took oc-
casion to see them and admire the dec-
orations which for the larger part
was the work of the ladies who had
entertained in the afternoon with a
reception for tht visiting ladies. The
visitors having been debarred on ac-
count of the weather from seeing
very much of the city the members of
the committee the local bankers and
others exerted an unusual effort to see
that this indoor affair was one of the
best and they more than made good.
The members of the reception com-
mittee last night were II. B. Johnson
Ed F. Johns T. H. Dwyer M. C. Can-
non D. D. Sayer B. B. Bridges II.
L. Jarbrv Jr. Ben F. Tohnnn B.
