"As our patrol vessels are In Eu-

WHITE HOUSE PICKETERS
WAIT FOR NEW CONGRESS
I' l.'cc Refuse to Send More Prisoners
to Reinforce Militants Now in
Jail.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 8. The police
court abandoned the Jail sentence
policy today In dealing with the "silent
sertlnel' picketing the White House
am! suspended sentence on the 11 ar-
retted Saturday Including Alice Paul
national chulnaun of the Woman's
pn rty.
Since the rumpus at the workhouse
la.-t week In which a dozen of the
women were badly bruised and
scratched the militants in town here
have been denied admittance to see
their sisters. There was a suspicion
that 11 more had gotten themselves
arrested with the purpose of increas-
ing the force at the workhouse.
The authorities think the plan was
thwarted by suspending sentences and
moreover the wom.m have announced
the abandonment of picketing until
congress reassembles.

Commisloner Younkman says Page I
never bribed him and never attempted

sensational charge until he was hc-
(luainted with it last night by a repre-i

Commissioner Walker admits It is
claimed thnt Page did give him somCi

tlons that lie is a briber of public of-;
fic ials nnd apparently proud of 1 1 1

what became of the '$500 Walker has
admitted Page gave him but an In
vestigation also of Charles 1 age's
activities In bribing the elected repre-
sentatives of the people of this city.
The statutes of the state of Oklaho-
ma make It a felony for any piibiK
officer to accept a bribe and it mhkes
it a felony for any person to guv
such a-'hrlbe or even to offer it.
If Charles Pace has corrupted two
city commissioners of Tulsa the pc"- ;
lie of this city bhould know It; ai
giand Jury should know it and the
courts should take the action tho law I
has provided.
Citizens of ' Tulsa have observed
from Page's peculiar career here t!ai
lie never opens his mouth thru his nr-
cans to fight a disinterested battle for
the public welfare. They have ob-
served that he always has an ax to
grind.
Wants Control.
Hre Is the explanation nccordin to
tr those who know Page and under-
stand htm slid are acquainted with his
vaulting ambitions:
Page wants to get control of the
Tulsa waterworks the street railway
pas electric and all other public serv-
ice tranchlses In Tulsa and he also
wants to control the mediums of pu.i
Holly. What he wants with mem
the people of Tulsa mny imagine by
asking themselves what any self-confessed
corruptlontst and brlbe-glver
would want with uch valuable prlvP
leges privileges worth hundreds or
thousands If not millions of dollars.
Pago knows he cannot get these a?
long as such men as Mayor John tt.
Munition; Commissioner A. I Funk
and Commissioner A. W. Itrlnk are va
the council.
So he deliberately began a campaign
to linimv the possessions of the people
of Tulsa with a crowbar of misrepre-
sentation and abuse aided according
to his own statements to reputable
citizens by bald and unbluslng bribery.
Having as he says bribed Walker
and Younkman for a paltry tl.nou
he turned his traitorous guns upo.

he would "ruin them." Evidently tn-j

WASHINGTON. Oct. 8. Py state

the action of Ecipindrr has been con-
strued at practically equlealent to a
rupture of telHti.nis with tiermuny.
Doctor Pearl was hnnded his j usa-
pcrts by the Peruvian government on
Kuturday. It was reported from I.lin.i
the action of Ecuador. has beep isn-
stiuced as practically equivalent to a
duptnre of relations with ticrineny
Doctor Pearl was appointed niin:i;er
to both Peru and Ecuador and after
the dei luration of war by tho Cnited
States he mallei his credentials to
(Julio. The Ecuadoran n government
refused to recognise such informal
presentation and then the minister
tried to secure acknowledgement of his
status by sending an ugent to Quito
to act as charge d'affaires. The agent
was not recognized.
Diplomats here were convinced to-
day however that Ecuador's rtfusul
to receive the minister now that ho is
willing to go to Quito was not duo to
pique but vas carefully calculated as
an Indication of the country's inten-
tion to Join the majority of S'outh
American nations already aligned
against Germany.
Argentine nnd Chile In the south
and Venezuela and Colombia on the
north are the only nuions of South
America who"c portions ure not clear-

ance of Germans in Venezuela and the

have made tt" future conduct of those
governments problematical. From Co-

has been expected beeunise of her

YOUNKMAN DEFIES
PAGE'S THREATS
"Come to My Office or I'll
Ruin You" is Message
Carried by Reporter.
TWICE SOUGHT AN AUDIENCE
On Both Occasions the Sand
Springs "Philanthropist" is
Cooly Ignored.
The following statement was made
last night by C. S. Younkman city
commissioner of water light oml
sewerage to a World representative
telling how Charles Page sent him
word two different times to "come to
his office" the last time with tho
added threat that if he didn't go he
would ruin him:
"About one week ago. Walter
Allium a reporter employed by the
Page publications cime to me on the
street nt a point on Second directly
across tho street from police head-
quarters and told tne that Charles
Page wanted to see mo In his office.
1 made the remark to Allium 'Well
you told me' nnd he replied 'Yes
I've sot that off my mind; I've done
what I was told to do. and what I am
paid to do.'
"We parted and 1 did not go then
nor since to Charles Page's office.
"Yesterday afternoon Allium again
came to me. this tlmo in my office
about 3 o'clock und in the presenco
of F. G. Seaman stated that if I did
not come to Mr. Page's office 'he
would ruin nic for life."
"The statement made by Allium
upon the instructions of his em-
ployer was witnessed by Mr. Sea-
man' who copied on an envelope the
words given nic by Mr. 'Allium.
"I base this attitude of Page and
his publications on the fact that he
desires to cause the resignation of
another commissioner thus lnvalidnt-hnff-
tve- Mtlnn of the prrVMit board
of city commissioners and In this
way stop tho operation of the pres-
ent administration of city affairs.
"In this way ho would have nn
opportunity to try and slip over
some of his hired henchmen and se-
cure not only the city printing con-
tract but a right-of-way thru the
stieets of Tul.a for a belt line
around the city for his Intel urban
system. '
"Only a few weeks ago he sought
to have thru his attorney certain
portions of streets condemned that
lie might run his present Sand
Springs line Into a residential sec-
tion of the city.
"This measure I fought as a cwy
commissioner sworn to protect tne In-
terests of the citizens ami I was not
alone in this opposition. Commissioner
A. I). Walker voting as I did on the
matter. Mr. Page has since changed
his antagonistic attitude toward Wal-
ker the latter lriving resigned after
having been called Into Page's office
by AJilnm-
"If Charles Page or his corps of
di tectives who have found blackmail-
ing practices too limited on the Tutsi
pt-lice force' have secured any affida-
vits which ran be used to oust me
from the office I have been elected by
the people to fill in order that he may
placo a henchman there as my suc-
cessor they arc Invited to display them

WASHINGTON. Oct. 8. Greece Is
nearly ready to put a large and effec-
tive army in tho field to co-operate
with the allies according to dispatches
("ii in the) Athens foreign office to the
Gteek legation horn. L'ick of equip-
ment Is being remedied rapidly with
the allies' aid.
M.nistir Itoiirsos today gavo tho fol-
li wing' summary of th situation In his
country ns described In tho legation's
dispatch:
"The situation In Greece Is becom-
ing more satisfactory every day. Tha
piople arc thoroly confident of the
efficiency of their government and
they ure willing to allow the present
ministry to continue In the work of
reorganization of the resources of tha
country so that Greece may throw
her full strength Into the war.
No Pro-German Party.
"There Is now no pro-German party
In Greece. In fact such u party never
existed save in the person of King
Constantine nided by certain members
of his court. Hut he knew the real
feelings of the Greek people who were
attracted by tradition and sympathy
with the western powers of Europe
and he never dared to openly expound
his pro-Gcrmnu convictions lie did
bis best on the contrary to conceal
them speaking always ubout his
friendship for the allies and trying to
convey the Impression that his atti-
tude was that of benevolent neutrality.
"The Greek people had a real af-
fection for their king and had con-
til ence iir. hV. word which uccounts
solely for the fact that his pseudo
pclL'y had many supporters. Flnully
certain acts of the king's entourage
created a suspicion in the minds of
the people ami they backed Mr. Veni-
zrlos in his Salonlkl movement
I which brought Urcecn rranKiy and
j loyally Into the war. Today the roal
' state of affairs as regards tho court
has bet n ex posed. The abdication of
I King Con.itantlne without bloodshed
or an uprising of the people Indicate
the alienee of any organized pro-
Germr n feeling altho certain of tho
political opponents of Venizelos ure
using the argument that trcin ru
stijl German propagandists In the
countiy.
Abdication Ilrlugs Hello'.
"The reasoning people of Greece
had long realized that Constantine's
policy was carrying the country to
in t n and relief was felt when he ab-
! dlcated. Perfect order now reigns
thruout the country nnd the malcon-
tents have been disposed of.
"i'li'j French troop were received
with great enthusiasm when they
landed at Piraeus. Mr. Venizelos Is
rheercd whenever he appears as he is
very popular wl'h all the people. All
events hnve proven that his policy
was the only one Greece could adopt.
"King Alexander Is In pt! feet ac-
cord with his people and with the
government :yid his good faith Is
uiiquei.lloned. Greece will now uss
every effort to aid the common
cause."

Absolute Military Victory
for Allies Alone Will
Eradicate German
Autocracy.
Patriotic Educational Plan
Launched to Wage War
on Misinformation.
WASHINGTON Oct. 8 American
who uro discussing early peace with
On-many forget that It would meun
crushing the democratic Ideals for
which the United Slates has always
utood for said President Wilson to tint
organizer of u patriotic educational
movement who culled at tho Whito
House today.
Hu mid the only way to end the war
Is by complete victory of the nations
n pi esenttng those Ideals over Ger-
many's doctrine of force.
Many people Mild the president are
lm.ilnt:d to let their thols on the
causes and principles underlying the
war wander Into byways and forget
that the main reason the United States
is at war Is to defeat a government
which threatens even the existence of
democracy.
New Organization Launched.
A movement to lead and express
public opinion on the war wus Inaugu-
rated here today by formation of the
League for National Unity represent-
ing church political labor agricul-
tural und Induatiial organizations to
which President Wilson gave his en-
dorsement In an address emphasizing
the need for team play by tho forces
of American thot und opinion.
Welcoming the luders of the move-
ment at the White House' In a brief
speech the president expressed the
belief that American public opinion
ultho understanding the war's causes
and principles nouds guidance to re-
member that the war should end only
when Germany Is beaten and Ger-
many's rule of autocracy and might
are l upersedej by the liiouls of democ-
racy. .
This Is the Issue which ths Ameri-
can people should always keep In
mind the president said in order to
avoid being misled Into bywuya of thot
and the resultant sea tiering of the fore
of public opinion. Talk of early pence .
before Germany is defeated is una of
the evidences of misdirected thot ha
suggeuted and should not cloud tha
vis.on of thoso who understand that
tho United Stales is fighting now for
the same Ideals of democracy and
freedom that havo nlwuys actuated tha
nation.
The president gave warning that It
should not be forgotten that German
success would mean not only preven-
tion of the spread of democracy but
Possibly the suppression of that al-
ready existing.
