M. E. NORTH
APPOINTMENTS
EI Reno.—'The following appoint- i
ments were announced at the close of j
the M. E. North, conference here:
El Keno.—An unusual amount of
business was transacted by the twenty-
sixth annual conference of the M. E.
«hurch North, at Ellleno last week,
the session lasting till Monday even-
ing.
Two most vital problems were dis
posed of finally. The tirst related to
the raising of a $100,000 fund for the
extension of the Methodist hospital at
Guthrie was favored and a campaign
■will begin at once.
The second matter concerning the
permanent locating of the Methodist
university was left unsettled in the
hands of a committee vested with
power to act. A new office was creat-
ed by the conference in the election
of T. B. Rankin of Sapulpa as commi.s-
eioner of education for the confer-
ence. His appointment will probabl>
be approved by 1-lishop W. O. Shepard
before the close of the conference.
The duties as commissioner will be to
■work with the authorities of the uni-
versity in matters pertaining to locat-
ing the university.
While the university was under con
sideration pledges were taken to pro-
vide for the annual deficit. Within
the conference itself $4,500 was sub-
Kcribed which is only about $i0u
abort of the required amount. Tne
pledges taken were for three years.
New trustees elected for the Meth-
odist university to serve until 1920
•were W. E. Brewster, Medford; J.
W. Abel, Tulsa; S. B. Share, Alva;
Bishop W. O. Shepard, Wichita; Judge
Frank Dale, Uuthrie; E. 13. Kankiu,
Sapulpa; H. 13. Kliever, Cherokee; J.

ANOTHER I. W. VV. PLOT

Washington.—A regiment of Okla
homa Indians may be one of the Amen
ican fighting units in France. Threi
hundred and fifty or more drafted non-
English speaking Indians are to b€
trasferred to the First Oklahoma Na
tional guard, which already has a con-
siderable number of Indians in its
ranks, and it is now proposed thai
enough additional Indians from Okla-

DOCTOR FACED BY CHARGE
Criminal Operation Caused Death of
Young Girl.
Wewoka—For the second timq
within sixty days Dr. A. H. Yates,
Henryetta.—A plot to force the 3,500
coal miners in this district out on
strike, directed from I. W. W. head-
quarters in Minneapolis, was bared
here, the police allege, by arrest ot
Karl Ebert. 2C-years old, I. W. VV. or-
ganizer and alleged draft dodger.
A letter carried by Ebert from W.
J'. Neff, national secretary of the I.
W. W. ordered Ebert to make every
effort to keep the miners from their
work. Some of them were out on
strike last week for a day, before
John P. White and Fuel Dictator H
A. Garfield ordered the western strike
postponed until mediation had been
tried again.
Ebert also carried an incriminating
letter from Mrs. William Borken-
hagen of Minneapolis, director of the
field corps of I. W. W. organizers, ac-
cording to the police. Ho was caught
wfter he left a train from Kansas City,
while wandering about a big ice plant.
In his pockets were found scores of
pictures of prominent citizens of the
country, and also pictures of W. I)
Little, the I. W. W. organizer lynched
recently at Butte. "The martyr" was
Inscribed on the backs of the pictures

of performing a criminal operation,
On Information filed by County Attor-
ney A1 G. Nichols, he was arrested at
Konawa accused of murdering Kath.
erine Cross, 18-year-old daughter ot
J. T. Cross, a Konawa farmer.
Katherine Cross died October 10.
Information placed in the hands ol
County Attorney Nichols led to a sub-
sequent investigation which, according
o the county attorney, developed the
fact that the girl would have become
a mother within the next six months.
Yates is accused of attempting to pre-
vent that result. He is said to have
coerced Mrs. Cross into tacit permis-
sion by telling her the girl was threat-
ening to kill herself. The information
was withheld from Cross, It is said.
Two months ago Yates was arrested
on a charge of performing a similar
iperation which v.m said to have re-
sulted in the death of Elsie Stone, a
young school teacher. Fred O'Neal, a
Konawa teacher, was arrested as the
-!tone girl's betrayer. Both were later
released on bond.

Oklahoma City—Reports received
by the state committee In charge of
the Liberty bond sales throughout
Oklahoma show less than ten million
dollars worth of bonds Bold thus far,
while the total proportion allotted
to the state was $34,980 000.
In view of the slowness with whlc^

of defense made an appeal to A. E.
Hutchins, director of the publicity de-
partment of the Twelfth federal re-
serve district at Kansas City, through
which the bond campaign is being
conducted, for more time, but as the
request was refused, the campaign
must close October 27.
