The Son of the Republican
Nominee for Governor Runs
Up Against a Snag
Guthrie, June 26.— Five warrants
have been Issued for the arrest of
Paul McNeil, formerly vice president
of the Outhrie Mill and Elevator
company, charging him with caus
ing to be used false weights in the
mill, which It lg alleged underweigh-
ed by several pounds each sack of
mill products turned out by the in-
stitution.
A law passed in 1911 requires that
all mill stuffs shall be put up in
bags containing l(Ki pounds net. and
that each bag shall he tagged with
a red tag provided by the depart-
ment of agriculture, the tags to be
furnished at a cost of one-half cent
each. The tags are not only to show
that the bag contained the necessary
100 pounds net, but to Indicate the
Inspection of the contents and are
required to show the analysis of the
contents as to the amount of crude
proteim; the amount of crude fat
the amount of nitrogen free extract
and the amount of crude fiber.
It is charged that Paul McNeil was
In the habit of buying from boys and
other persons "return hags" which
bad the red inspection tags still at-
tached to them. He Is charged with
haring giver 'nstmctlons to" mill
helpers to use them again which had
no special mars on them by which
they might he identified It Is alleg-
ed that In this manner the shortage
of hundreds of thousands of tags can
be accounted for as the mill purchas-
ed only about 300,000 of them, where
as authorities claim that the mill
records will show nearly twice that
amount of mill stuffs made and
shipped.
One of the warrants was started
in Justice Seton’s court two before
Judge Soward and two in the county
court.
It is also charged that by the
scheme or reusing these red inspec
tion tags not only was the weight of
the net contents of the bag under
suspicion but also the purity of its
contents.
Paul McNeil is a son of Joseph
McNeil, a banker at Tulsa, and for-
merly a candidate on the republican
ticet for governor of Oklahoma.

Most Out of
a Holiday
In order to get the fullest
enjoyment out of your week-
end-holidays approach them
with a peaceful and unruffled
mind.
That is to say, be fore-
handed enough to decide in
advance what you are going
to do. where and in whbt
manner you are going, and
what purchases need be
made for your comfort and
recreation.
Our advertisers try to
simplify matters for you.
Their announcements con-
tain a world of just the kind
of information and sugges-
tion you need.
Nothing so dulls the keen
edge of vacatiea or half
holiday enjoyment as to fret
over purchases and arrange-
ments that should have been
made in advance, or to dis-
cover, too late, some little
thing left andone or for-
gotten.
