Indirect interest In the campaign.
Tho generous prize list consisting
of six handsome automobiles and a
prol'tiMori of diamond rings and wrist
watches has been a favorite topic of
discussion every day this week and
the consensus of opinion is that the

the young women of Tulsa and sur
rounoing country.
A Nl-i; Gift.
Tt would be mighty nice to receive
a luxurious 12100 llaynes touring

That's Just what will happen to soma

will receive a classy seven -passenger
llaynes ns a prize for securing the
largest number of votes during the

liow wonderfully easy It all was.
Who that voung woman will be
makes no difference to The Tulsa
Daily World. For any young woman
who wants to be the lucky llaynes
winner the way Is open.
Even after the llaynes Is gone there
are five other cars to be turned over
to new owners. There's a dandy
11675 Chandler Six touring car wait-
ing for someone at the steering wheel;
and the $1671 Nnsh wants a mistress
too. And somebody Is going to be
n-ltihty tickled over that snappylnok-
lng 1918 Hupmohlle. One mustn't

touring rurs of the highest type and
popular In the extreme..
Kven there the prize list doesn't

mond rings. Some cf the rings ire
wrth $150. others are valued at SI 00

Don't Pass It l'.

everything else that goes to make
a real Thanksgiving dinner.

GOVERNOR SEEKS
U. S. SOLDIERS
Would Guard State From Dep-
redations of Industrial
-Workers of World.
United States troops probably will
be on duty In the important centers
of the Oklahoma and Kanhas oil fields
within a few days to guard the vast
industrial enterprises in this section
that are of so muqh pecuniary Import-
ance to the nation nt this time.
Governor K. L. Williams has asked
President Wilson to send troops into
Oklahoma and pr-iss dispatches yes-
terday Mated that ths governor of
Kansas had preferred a similar re-
quest that troops be sent Into his
stalo.
Continued depredations of the an-
archistic and destructive element who
have begun what seems to be nn or-
ganized and systematic warfare on
all Industries In Kansas and Oklahoma
blowing up pow.T plants. rail-
road bridges oil refineries and
other vast works at various places. Is
the cause of Governor Williams" ap-
peal to the president.
Bocause of tho sinister method the
deatructlonlsts pursue doing their
work under cover of darkness and
thru ntrenciea that are oathbound and
secret county and state authorities
are handicapped in running down tho
guilty and placing them under ar
rest.
Rtiito Is Handicapped.
The state is especially handicapped
at this time because of the absence of
the state- guard which has been
merged Into the regular 1'. S. army
and Is now at the army training camps.
It was Impossible therefore for the
governor to meet tho situation with
the armed forces of the state.
Determined however to put n slop
to the era" of lawlessness that has been
begun he has asked that federal
troops be sent to Oklahoma. L'nder
the federal constitution President Wil-
son cannot send troops Into the state
until Governor Williams asks that It
be dene.
It Is possible that the ded.'ilon to
bring troops here originated with the
government and that It suggested
to the governor that he prefer the re-
quest. At any rate It has been made
and It Is probable that th next few-
days will see at least a battalion o
P. S. troops scattered at different
points In the oil and manufacturing
centers of Oklahoma.
Governor Declines to Confirm.
When asked over the long-distance
telephone last night to confirm the
report Governor Williams refused to
do so sayimr:
"There Is nothing to give out."
"Which means that you have made
such a request ?" th. World represent-
ative persisted.
"There Is nothing to she out" he
repeated and added that such mat-
ters were of a secret nature.

destroy a plant of the Prairie Oil

Anarchistic Plot to

BOSTON Nov. I!8. Agents of ths

It was their opinion that the neigh-J

Again Thanksgiving day has come
and Tulsa never had so much reason
to bo thankful. Tulsa has hail a

ing record-smashing business schools

J Why They're Thankful
Several prominent Tulsnns were in-
terviewed yesterday for an expression
of their Thanksgiving feetlng. They
were a-sited If they were thankful and
If so why. Here are their reasons:
E. W. Sinclair president of the
Exchange National bank: "We should
nil be thankful that we are living la
Tulsa the greatest and most pros
pcrotis city In the country. We should
be thankful for the prosperity wa en
Joy thankful that it Is not based on
"blood money.' The oil Industry is an
.important one to the government but
it Is not a war Industiy. We should bo
tlianl ful that this prosperity Mias en
r tiled us to respond to the needs or
our country In purchasing Liberty
bonds -and In supporting the Y. M.
C. A. and the Hed Cross which are
of such great importance nt this lime.
The community at large should bo
thankful because of the substantial
gains it has made and the prosperity
;t erJos. Like 'Pollyuniiu.' there aro
so many thing we can be thankful
for that ws can t tl.lnk of them all In
a moment. However after all
Thanksgiving Is personal and every
citizen of Tulsa. I am sure has many
thlngB for which he individually
should be thankful."
J. W. McNeal president of the
American National bunk: "I am
thankful for good health und reason-
able prosperity mid for the countless
b'esslngs that mv city state and coun-
try are enjoying."
t. J. Ilartmnn vice-president of
i the Producers' National bank: "J am
I thankful that tliis bank was able
thru the assistance of Its friends and
and to do our part In sustaining tho
I ted Cross and Y. M. C. A. war work."
S. P. McBlrney president of tho
National Hank of Commetce: "I am
thankful for rjood health and pros-
perous business conditions which
weie never better In Tulsa. I am
thankful for the fine rains that fell
Thuisduy and Friday which wore
worth at least a half million dollars
to TnUa."
O. P.. McCullough president of the
First National bank: "I am thankful
that everybody Is prosperous and that
Tulsa Is forging ahead at greater
speed than ever bjfore thankful
personally for life and health and
friends and all the good things that
make happiness."
W. I Lewis cashier of the Liberty
National: "We all have so many things
for which to be thankful. It would
take too much time to count our many
blcssirgs one by one but we must
stop and take a mental recapitulation
to realize how deeply thankful we
should be."
W. A. Rayson. Beeretnl-y of tho Re-
tail Merchant's association is thankful
for the yeir of success which has
crowned the efforts of the members
of his organisation during the past 12

ROME Tuesday. Nov. 27. Tho
papal spcr"tary of state Cni'dlnal CkiJt-
pnvrl answering the numerous ciit-
iclsmv legardlng the Vatican's peace
attitude it-sued to the press today the
following ctHtement:
"The h-tly father Is not preparing
any new nppeal looking toward peace.
His earnest desire nuii-y times mani-
fested fi a Just Christian nnd durable
peace. Is unchanged and can not
.'hange. Who can crave anything elso
and call himself a t'hrl.xtlsn?
"To say that his holiness favors or
has favored or will favor an unjust
unchristian and uudiirahli peace .
not only false but also absurd. Any
propaganda for such a peace alleged
to be conducted nt the Vatican's In-
spiration especially In certain na-
tions Is tlie product of pure malicious-
ness. A chain f piayers has uluy
been reprobated by the holy Fee and
bishops and priests In the I'nlted
HI. lies of .America und ilsewhere are
warned against them particularly
those having ni'y si ch propaganda be-
hind them.
"Also Amerlcnn Catholics nnd oth-
ers are cautioned that such prayers
uro a species of superstition."
MIND UNBALANCED
WHEN SHOT FIRED
Mrs. dc Saulles Irrational at
Time of Shooting Physi-
cians Declare.
MINEOLA N. T. Nov. TS. Taking
of testimony In the trial of Mrs.
Itlaura de Haulles on a charge of mur-
dering her divorced husband John
L. de Saulles neared an end In su-
preme court here today.
Dr. Smith Ely Jellffe a widely
know n alienist and Dr. Louis C. John
son styled a "physiological chemist"
told of diagnoses which they made of
Mrs. de Haulles' condition shortly after
the tragedy on tho night of August 3
at ile Haulles' Long Island home. Their
evidence tended to support the
Chilean woman's claim that she was
not accountable for her actions when
she fired the revolver shots which
killed her former husband.
'X-Hay Show Frneturo.
Incidental to their examination an
X-ray photograph purporting to show
that Mrs. de Sail I lee alno whs suffer-
ing from brain pressure resulting
from a freotured skull wa Introduced
In evidence.
Miss H ii .a mi Monteau Mrs. de
Saulles' maid was the only other wit-
ness examined today.
As to the manner In which Mrs. do
Saulles fired the shots nnd whether
de Saulles was facing her or had
turned away the witness seemed con
fused. Previously .sho had sabl her
mistress took the revolver from her
pocket and fired In a deliberate man-
ner ;that she shot three times "and
de Haulles did not move" whereupon
she fired twice more. Today she In-
dicated the shooting was done In a
flash as tho the defendant was
actuated by a sudden Impulse.
IlyHithyrssls Substantiated.
The testimony of Dr. J. Sherman
Wright Mrs. de Saulles' physician
during her three months' Imprison
ment and that of Doctors Jellffe ana
Johnson all tended to show she had
symptoms of "a marked hypothyroid
condition" when they examined the
defendant a few days after her arrest.
The witnesses bore out Mrs. de
Saulles' contention that she knew
nothing of her surroundings in the
Jail until several days after the shout-
ing. They said that when they ex-
amined the defendant she seemed Ir-
rational and could not make coherent
replies to their questions.
