McAlester's suit for $25,000 balm, was
returned at the same time. Only nine
of the twelve jurors signed the ver-
dict. This was the smallest number
that could have decided the case.
The defense in the case sprung a
decided surprise at the final session

According to tho French account the
Germans were driven out of their
trenches over a front of fifteen miles,
varying in depth from two-thirds of a
mile to two and a half miles. The
French in this engagement captured
12,000 prisoners. Apparently the ad-
vantage Is being pressed still further
as the French communication makes
the briefest mention of the operations.
The importance of this gain lies in
the fact that every yard of ground
taken In this region weakens the Ger-
man position around Verdun from |
which the Germans might be compelled,
to retire should the French succeed
In making any further advance.
Advances Mear Souchez and Arras
The French also have regained the
oemetery of Souchez and trenches east
of the "labyrinth" in the Arras district,
which was the scene of much heavy
fighting early In the year. There the
Germans had built what they consid-
ered almost impregnable fortifications.

McAlester claimed In the suit that his

and at the trial introduced evidence
to the effect that the article cost him

the suit, but escaped by publishing a
retraction on the eve of the trial.
Unsold Land Will Again Be Leased.
Secretary George A. Smith of the
state school alnd department has been
authorized by the commissioners of the
land office to lease for a leriod of five
years all school land which has been
offered for sale and which found no
buyer. The lease contract will be
based upon the 1915 appraisement
which was made for sale purposes.
The commlssicmers also have au-
thorized the transfer of all funds due
the home ownership division to the
eredit of that department and made
Immediately available for loans under
the provisions of the home ownership
law. It was also authorized by the
commissioners that $207,300 worth of
fconds belonging to that division be sold
to the permanent common school fund
bo that the amount of the bonds will
become available for loans. This will
put about $400,000 In the home owner-
ship department and there are now
more than enough applications on file
in the department to take up that
amount.

From the downtown business section
the massive framework of the im-

proportions, giving an idea in the

Right now the skeleton part of the
edifice has been advanced to the third
floor, the molds having been placed
for the pouring of the concrete lo this
section. Saturday the laying of con-
crete was finished on the second story.
With the completion of Ihe second
floor exterior, that division of the
building, the sub-baBement, first and
mezzauine floors will toon be ready
for the placing of the stone.
Though the recent rains have Inter-
fered somewhat with the activities of
the contractors, J. H. Ferderickson,
superintendent for the Stewart Com-
pany, stated Saturday that the work
was going along according to schedule
and that the delay occasioned was
not cause for any alarm as to the mat-
ter of having everything in readiness
to turn over to the state at the appoint-
ed time.
Lyon Refuses A Charter.
Secretary of State J. L. Lyon filed
in the district court *n answer to the
writ of mandamus prayed lor by the
State Rural Credit Association seeking
to compel him to Issue a charter al-
lowing the concern to do business in
Oklahoma.
In the answer the secretary of Btate
charges that the name under which
the company asks for a charter would
lead the public to believe that it was a
state institution and the credit of the
state would be loaned thereto in the
ckeceiving of the people. It is set out
that for this reason the issuance of a
charter to the association, is contrary
to lf.w and not permissible under stat-
utes i.f Oklahoma and the state con-
stitution.
It is further claimed that certain
sections of the proposed articles of in-
corporation are too broad in scope and
too indefinite as to the powers con

BIG INCREASE IN EXHIBITS
Agricultural Hall Bursting With Wor
aerful Crop Exhibits—Tractor
Show a New Feature of
Great Interest.
Oklahoma City.—True to all predic-
tions and expectations, the ninth an-
nual Oklahoma State Fair and Exposi-
tion opened at Oklahoma City last
Saturday, and entertained one of the
largest crowds in the history of the
fair, on any one day.
A marked Increase in exhibits was
noticable in all departments but par-
ticularly so in the live stock, county
exhibits, and educational departments.
Cattle, horses and swine from all sec-
tions of the west filled every available
stall and pen. Every inch of Agricul-
tural Hall, housing the county exhib<
its, is filled with farm products ot
Oklahoma. It Is a wonderful display
and exceeds all records for separate
exhibits—thirty-seven counties are rep-
resented. In the educational depart-
ment the state schools are well repre-
sented—stronger than ever before.
A. & M. College is represented with
a display from every department ot
this big school. The normal and dis-
trict agricultural schools make a fine
showing.
Implement field with Its acres of
machinery exhibits is a center of in-
terest. The tractor show every
morning between 10 and 12 o'clock
brings fifteen tractors together for
demonstrations. Enormous crowds
have attended this feature. During
the balance of the day experts explain
their machines for the benefit of vis-
itors on implement field among the
other machinery exhibits.

That the charter sought to be filed
authorizes the plaintiff company to act
as a guaranty company without giving

to the laws of Oklahoma, is another
part of the Btate official s reply.
in addition, Mr. Lyon states in his
answer that article No. 7 of the char-
ter exempts the property of the stock-
holders from execution for debts con-
tracted by the corporation, which is
against the law, and that article No. 8 j
clothes them with authority to alter 1 e ■
and amend the by-laws at will, also
illegal under the Oklahoma statute.
Answering further, the secretary of
