TO GRAND JURY
Judge Orders Rigid Probe
of Night and Day Bank
Scandal
In the jury room at th county
court house grand jurors are in
session and have begun what is
generally believed to be a probe
into the recent failures of state
banks and the general way in
which some of these banks were
conducted during their operations
in Oklahoma City The grand
jury was called Monday morning
by District Judge George W
Clark at the request of County At-
torney Sam Hooker The scope
that the probers are to assume is
a matter that is being kept a secret
from the public
Special emphasis were given to
the necessity of absolute secrecy
regarding the workings of the
grand jury by Judge Clark in his
instructions
A number of witnesses have
been called for Monday after-
noon All of these have been
actively connected with various
banks in Oklahoma City and have
' been in the banking business here
for a number of years Tommy
Sullivan teller at the Night and
Day bank has been summoned to
appear as a witness before the jury
The Night and Day bank recent
ly changed ownership The bank
was practically managed by the
state for some time prior to the
change Employes of the Plant
ers and Mechanics bank recently
insolvent have also byyi summon
'e37
William Bender connected with
' local banks has been summoned
for Monday afternoon
Fred G Dennis of the state
banking board was called into the
jury room by Assistant County
Attorney Moss The investiga-
tion was begun by Moss Just
what information Dennis will give
is not known It is thought that
he has been called for a general
statement regarding the conditions
of the banks that have been under
investigation
Chariss Post for several years
chief of police and later connect
ed with the secret service depart
ment was among the witnesses
summoned for Monday Post re-
covered a large sum of monev
that is alleged to have been mis
appropriated through certain
banking officials or emploves las:
winter Pest wcrled cn the case
for several months and while the
details of his work were carefully
suppressed it is generally under-
stood by those who were interest-
ed that the information will be
some of the most valuable to be
used bv the jurors
The majority of the jurors have
been selected from outside of Ok-
lahoma City Hackley is in the
automobile business in the city
and Gill is a wholesale grain deal
er Gilpin lives in the city With
these exceptions the members
have been called frorp their farms
to serv i i jurors
Assistant County Attorney Peck
arrived Sunday from his vacation
He will assist Moss in the early
workings of the jury The bank
matters are believed to be one of
the prime reasons for the grand
jury being called although crimin
al cases are rumored to be on ihe
docket that has been prepared by
Hooker
Judge Clark in giving his ir
structions to the jury prior to thei
retirement just before noon ix
' dicated that tne jury had not bee
been called far such cases as migh
be termed misdemeanors for which
'sentences might be served in the
caunty itil or fines aessed This
practically bars bootlegging cases
from consideration for the grand
jurors
Judge Clark said : 1
“You have the undoubted au-
thority to investigate all manner
of crimes and misdemeanors com-
mitted in this county any if the
evidence warrants such action to
return indictments or accusations
against the guilty parties but the
court is of the opinion that ex-
cept in rare instances the cumber-
some and expensive method of
instituting prosecutions by indict-
ment should not be restored to
“If the competent evidence be-
fore you submitted to a trial jury
unexplained or uncontradicted
and carefutyy examined and con-
sidered by such jury would in
your judgment warrant a con-
viction you should return an in-
dictment or accusation as the case
might be You will permit no
person to be present during your
sessions except your own num-
bers and the county attorney or
his deputy and a witness actually
under examination and you will
permit no person whomsoever
not even the county attorney to
be present during the expression
of your opinions or the giving of
your votes upon any matter be-
fore you An indictment or ac-
cusation can be returned by nine
or more of you
“Upon retiring to your jury
room you will select one of yout
number as clerk who must pre-
serve the minuets of your pro-
ceedings except of the votes of
the individual members of the
evidence given before you of
which no record will be kept—

Frosh pineapple juice has great

as a gargle and the diphtheria mem

of picking out all non-living animal
tissues and rapidly digesting them

“Good morning" the young woman
said as she stepped to the window at
the post office “Is ttere a letter for

"I’ll look” the clerk answered
The youn woman bhisbed a little
and she added “It's a business letter"
The man Inside the window took up
a handful of letters apd look! them

customer that there was nothing for

“Bully for you!" returned her hus-
band as he helped her into the car

idea You remember how the proverb
goes — Never trouble trouble until
trouble troubles you It is an excel-
lent rule”
"Hoy are the children?" asked Mrs
Everett as she leaned back in the car-
riage and gazing fondly at her hits

careworn he looked
"Corinne and Frederick have gone
to your sister Lulu's for a few days"
“At Lulu's house! Wl-y?"
"Well James had the measles so I
sent them over there"
v "James! My poor son!” walled his
mother “Who took care of him? Is
he very 111?”
“He's going out tomorrow We had
a trained uurse"
"Such expense just for the measles!
Was the nurse young and pretty?"
“Not exactly young and pretty”
answered Everett guardedly "but
very capable”
"I don't suppose Corinne has prac-

Lulu has no piano”
"She couldn’t practice anyway She
cut her finger”
"How? Is there any danger of blood
poisoning?"
“None whatever The children want-

lemonade stand In front of the house
Your sewing table wasn’t quite steady
and when it came down all the glass
was cracked and broken Corinne In
attempting to save it cut her finger on
the pitcher”
“Not the 'cut gloss pitcher that Aunt
Mary gave ua for a wedding present?”
“Exactly so! Aunt Mary happened
to come the next day and she vented
her anger on little Frederick by Insist-

"No Julia the second girl cooks

“Julia is a good faithful girl I’m

"Edith bow can I tell you about

Everett
"Tell me tbe worst Immediately!
Did he bite anyone?”
"No but he was run over by an

“Toby killed? How horrible!" cried
Mrs Everett wringing her hands In
dismay "Kind gentle Toby that

“We’ll miss Tobjvall right my dear

the order of things that glancing
from his office window across the
court one blisteringly hot afternoon
he should Bee a man seize hold of a
girl as Bhe crumpled before her type-
writer and fell Tbe man noting
Crapple beckoned violently for him to
come over So Crapple hastened over
“I w as just going by the open door”
the roan told Crapple “and I saw her
topple over— there isn't a soul here
What’ll I do?”
“Put Ice on her wrists and temples
and I'll find a doctor” said the capa-
ble Crapple
There was no physician In that
building so he rushed out and headed
for a building a block away The girl
was a slight little thing and she cer-
tainly looked desperately ill
“Vot doctor?” asked the elevator
man blandly to Crapple's Inquiries
"Any doctor!" shouted the exasper-
ated Crapple “And take me to him
qaick!"
Three doctors were not In and the
fourth was deep in work"See here"
said tbe busy doctor "You run across
to the health department in the city
ball and you can get a doctor for her
for nothing!"
Crapple mopping his forehead hast-
ened to tbe city hall Ills face was
purple and his collar was melted Pe-
destrians In Irritated surprise as they
dragged along tbe street made way
for the apparently Insane man who
was rushing along on that hot day
Only the memory of the limp little
girl who perhaps was dying back In
tbe stifling office spurred Crapple on
for he Is a stout man and averse to
violent exercise
Crapple successively hurst Into and
disorganized the marriage license bu-
reau the dog license department and
a tax office before he flanally reaohed
the proper spot By this time large
streams of pevsplratlon were galloping
down his face and making furrows in
the dust which he had accumulated on
bis countenance He could only gasp
"No no!” he roared to the energetla
young man who grabbed him and
forced him into a chair and then
tailed for Ice and began jerking at
his collar as he Inquired soothingly
where he felt: worst "I’m tierfectly
normal but there's a girl prostrated
by the heat in an office — ”
"Well" said the young man severe-
ly as he relaxed Ills hold on Crapple’s
collar yon should explain clearly
what you want when you come In In-
stead of wasting our time! Now If
you will go to the office on Market
street — ”
"Market street be hanged!” said
Crapple violently ‘‘Do you suppose
this is a case of lingering illness and
that next week will do?”
He dashed out and inlsaing an ex-
press elevator got into the local The
elevator man stopped at each floor to
exchange repartee with various
friends Each time before he started
up again be paused to mop bis fore-
head and murmur reproachfully that
It was a mighty hot day Once he
went back two floors for some ones
with a big voice who howled accus-
ingly after the vanishing elevator
After Crapple at last reached the
street he was so wet with perspiration
that he looked as though he had jusl
emerged from the lake He stormed
into another building where there
were men of medicine and found one
"What you should have done” said
that individual shaking his bead “was
to phone for the police ambulance and
have her taken to a hospital where her
temperature would be properly re-
duced and tbe right Sort of attention
bestowed upon her You'd better get
the ambulance now and—"
"No” said Crapple with cold sar-
casp "I think I'd better go out and
get a good lively undertaker for no
doubt the girl passed away long age
I'll just run back to the office and
see!"
Fuming bedraggled hot and limp
CrapplVtore back to tbe Beene of dis-

limp hopeless little creature now
probably beyond all help
The office seemed quite calm and
two persons were busily at work
They seemed bewildered when Crap
pie begged to know the condition ol
the stricken girl Presently tbe brow
of one cleared
"Oh yes” he said "Miss LeBtei
did feel the heat a little but she was
well enough in a few minutes to go
home How did you happen to know

Company’s
Coming
When Mrs Powell looked out of the
window on the morning of the day ap-
pointed for her luncheon In honor ot
Mrs Fentress Mrs Watson’s gor-
geous visitor and saw the abundance
of the raindrops that were pattering
on the roof aud noted tbe unyielding
aspect of the clouds she groaned
"I just knew I oughtn’t ’ to have
planned to have it Friday” she said
to her Bleeping husband who merely
grunted and' raised one eyelid about
an eighth of an inuli At that moment
three indignant squeals issued from the
nursery and the moment after three
white-robed figures preclplated them-
selves upon their mother
"She hit me!”
“She said I was a pig”
“Wow wow wow!” 1
When the dove of peace had been
persuaded to hover precariously over
the nursery Mrs Powell returned to
her room and proceeded dolefuUy with
her toilet "They always act like that
on a rainy day’’ she moaned "I know
it will be perfectly awful all day”
After1 breakfast with the Assistance
of Hilda her one maid she proceeded
to remove tp the dining-room the out-
ward and visible signs of festivity
from the porch where she had
planned to entertain her guests
Now Hilda” she said to her hand-
maiden who was in the state ot mind
which is technically known as having
got out of the wrong side of the bed
"I’m going to straighten up in here
and you can run out and put the gela-
tin to soak-In boiling water and put
tbe chicken on to boil"
Hilda drooped lumplsbly out of' tbe
room and about five minutes after her
blond head and resentful back had
disappeared Mrs Powell heard an
ominous crash from the kitchen Bhe
withdrew her countenance from - un-
der the sideboard and scuttled for the
kitchen' Hilda was standing stolidly
amidst surging waves of gelatin -"The
bowl break when I the hot
water put In” she said gently
"By bbst cut glass bowl!” wppt
Mrs Powell falling upon her knees
and beginning futllely to gather up
the fragments "I've a good mind to
make you pay for it”
Hilda slowly unfastened the strings
that held her apron around her ample
waist -"I
guess I go then” she said
“Ge where Hilda?" she Inquired
the tears rolling off her chin
“Away from the place” Hilda ex-
plained Just how many things Mrs Powell
promised Hilda If she would stay de-
veloped gradually: during the ensuing
month ’For'-with honeyed words and
promises she Inveigled Hilda to make
ice cream in place of the lost gelatin
During the rest of that feverish
morning Mrs Powell swept and dust-
ed and cooked and at regular Inter-
vals spanked her offspring and at ir-
regular Intervals Eoothed and in-
structed Hilda Atone and unaided
she wrestled with the best tablecloth
which though usually a sufficiently
tractable household article persisted
la undulating over the table like a
huge measuring worm In despera-
tion Mrs Powell heated an iron and
tried to press It down but the Iron
'eft a long dark rakish looking trail
behind it down the center of the
cloth
After that she returned to the kitch-
en where Hilda appeared to be hav-
ing a hand to hand battle with the ice
cream freezer while the children
were dashing furiously about the
room shrieking “Ice dream Ice cream
Ice cream! We're going to have Ice
cream!” "
Mrs Powell pointed a stern finger
toward the door and tbe three still
screaming darted past hor Into tbe
dining room
"What’s the matter with the freez-
Sr?” Mrs Powell Inquired She walked
over to tbe struggling maid
"He don’t work” said Hilda She
gave the crank of the freezer a final
jerk with her powerful hands and the
crank broke The pail rolled over cn
Its Bide and began gurgling forth an
oozy mush composed of Balt water
and cream which not even the most
desperate and brazen hostess would
have dreamed of serving ‘as a
ectuble article
At this critical moment there came
a crash and three separate wails from
the dining room Leaving Hilda and
the Ice cream to commune with one
another Mrs Powell flew to the
newest calamity Two thoroughly
subdued small girls stood surveying
the wreck of the dining table from
underneath which were issuing yells
which carried to Mrs ' Powell the
soothing conviction that her youngest
laughter though eclipsed was still
alive
After she had separated her daugh-
ter from a mass of glass china olives
almonds bonbons and other ingredi-
ents and had sent all three of the
children tp bed Mrs Powell sat down
upon the nearest chair and wept It
was then that the telephone bell rang
"Dick” she said to her husband
that night "It does seem perfectly In-
human but I could have Bhouted with
Joy when I got the massage that Mrs
Watson had fallen and sprained her
ankle and they couldn’t come It may
have been hard on Mrs Watson but
It was simply providential for me”

CURIOUS 3ALL0TS OF WOMEN
Shopping Lists Among Things Put In

male Voters
"What I liked about my old posi-
tion” said the ex-sfecretary of a worn-
an club “was tbe opportunity It
gave me to see some of the funny
things women put into their envelopes
when taking a vote on anything by
sealed ' ballot Sometlmls they left

It accompanied the foreign Inclosure
Tbe majority of those inclosures were
shopping lists and if I had wanted to

Interesting-sidelight on a member's
private economies Other careless
voters put letters inte their envelopes
I never read any of them but judging
by the fuss they made about getting
them back those letters no doubt fur-
nished pretty interesting reading
"One real romance grew out of mis-
taken ballots A flighty young woman
sealed up a marriage certificate In her
envelope She had been' married three
months but nobody knyw anything
about It and maybe we wouldn't have
found It out yet if she hadn't been
so proud of her marriage certificate
that she had to take it out and look
at' It every few minutes and so got
it mixed up with her ballot The as-
sistant secretary opened most of the
envelopes that day Tbe marriage
certificate came to her and the Bight
of it- turned her head
’“Why what Is this?’ she said
"Who has been getting married P
‘Everybody In the room heard and
there was that certificate flaunted
right before their eyes so of course
the wedding couldn't be kept a secret '
any longer But I noticed that all the
members were a little more careful

WHEN AUNT CALLY GAVE UP
Worm Turned at Last on Ironing
“Mis' Portly’s” Voluminous
- Skirts
Aunt Cally belongs distinctly to the
type of "born not made” laundresses
Ehe loves her Ironing board exactly
so wide and just so long She wants
plenty of blanket and sheet on It so
the embroidery stands out clear and
she carries her own piece of beeswax
around in her apron pecl-et Maybe
the magic Is in that piece of wax for
she has carried it always it seems
The irons work well for her because
she selects them at Just the right
heat and then Bhe administers a little
pat which she calls "taseln’ ’em”
applies a little wax and off they goy
making the linens look as if they wereua
polished - 'Tl
But Aunt Cally like other artiste
has not escaped trials Bhe likes to
see her work grow and has pride In
counting the number of pieces she can
do in a day A
The trouble is she has washed a
long time for a woman of tremendous
proportions and she has become dis-
couraged 1 "I done stop washin’ fuh Mie
Portly!” she announced (he other day
' “Why how ctn she get (Jong with?
out you? About ten years you have
done her washing isn’t it?”
"Yas’m I don’t know’m what she
goin’ do But I jes caln Sian’ It na
longer Tell de truth I Jea’ lief un$

All Wore Squeaky Shoes
Squeaky shoes were once the proper
thing especially In the country saya
the Chicago Inter Ocean They gave
distinction to rustic swains at the en-
gine company’s dance and made tUe
sober-sided devout turn their bonneted
heads in church to see who was cone
ing up the aisle They gave timely
warning ot tbe schoolmaster’s ap-
proach and signaled to the postmis-
tress that some one had called for tbe
mall The Justice of the peace Invari-
ably wore double soles which squeaked
loudly with-authority Tbe parson in
prunella gaiters stepped lightly to a
sound like that which comes from a
mouse in a closet Bui everybody wore
squeaky shGes and boots They cam
that way The reason a shoe squeaks
Is because of the movement of one
tanned sole against another A - peg
driven Into the enter of the sole will
stop tbe squeak although the shoe-
maker’s method Is to place a layer ot
thin cloth or paper between the soles
before they are sewn
Walnuts From France
The best walnuts in the world— at
least they have that - reputation— are
those grown around Grenoble France
and a singular fact about them la that
at least three-quarters of the entire
production are transported across the
ocean to be eaten in New York Boa-
ton Philadelphia Chicago and other
large American cities The calcareous
soil of southeastern France appears ta
be particularly favorable to tbe wal-
nut On tbe rising land at the base of
the French Alps the nut trees often
form veritable cultivated forests The
finest variety the "mayette” has a
light-colored shell and a broad flat
base on which it readily Btands uja
