'Lynn Cato Handled
Following an agreement between
attorneys for the . atato and United
Stated Attorney Frank Lee yesterday
afternoon Judge F. E. Kennamer re-
versed hia temporary restraining or-
der. preventing Seminole county
authorities from arreatng Wylie
Lynn and Sheriff Matt Sankey act-
ing for Seminole county offlcors r-
rented Lynn on murder chargee In
connection with the killing - of - Bill
Tllghman at Cromwell on November
1. Lynn waa released on 10000
bond for hearing In Tulsa on Janu-
ary 7. after a petition -for a writ of
habeas corpus had been granted.
The attorneys who presented the
states case were N. W. (lore and Ed-
win Dabney assistant attorn eys-gen-eral
and county attorney Billingsley
of Seminole county. . Frank Lea Uni-
ted States Attorney of Muskogee rep-
resented the federal court.
In explaining the esse yesterday
afternoon Mr. Lie aald. Lynn waa
arraigned before n united ' State
commissioner charged with killing
Tllghman while attempting to exe-
cute a search warrant on the Crom-
well dance hall where the shooting
occurred.
Shortly after that the atate filed
a criminal action and issued war-
rant for hfa arrest and turned It over
to (he Seminole county sheriff for
execution. Lynn -was already in the
custody of the United 8tatea and bad
made bond for 10000 and tho court
granted a temporary restraining or-
der setting the matter for hearing In
Chickasha Tuesday.
It has been pointed out that the
statutes of the Un'ted States provide
that any criminal prosecution brought
by the state against n federal prohi-
bition officer for an alleged offense
committeed while In the exercise of
hie duties may be brought Into the
United States court not to protect
the defendant however.
It was conceeded by both parties
In - tho controversey that It waa a
case to be tried in federal court and
In order to get It before such a
fornm. as contended by the etate
Lynn was taken Into custody by the
civil authorities."
New Judge Probable
In his writ of habeas corpus Lynn
set forth (hat ho was unlawfully held
and restrained from his liberty In
view or tbe fact tbat the killing had
occurred when he had gone to the
Cromwell dance hall to execute a
search warrant and In nn altercation
had shot In self defense.
It wae. understood that the action
would give state authorities the op-
portunity to assist in the prosecution

Vanderlip Sees Start of Economic
Period When Business Activity Is
- To Set New Records of Prosperity
By FRANK VANDERLIP.
(Written tor the Udlted Press)
(Copyright 1934 United Press)
New York Nor. IS. I believe we
are beginning to economic period
during .which pract'.rall every total
measuring business euillty will tar
surpass former records.
The new record of stock market
activity both In total shares and In
tbe number of Issues traded In Is
but forerunner of raw high records
In many other directions. The bust-
scene is set for a period of
record-breaking totals.
We already have satisfactory labor
employment at high effective wages.
With few exceptions there ta no ac-
cumulation of surplus stocks of
goods. There Is t thoroughly sound
hanking position and facilities for an
almost unlimited extension of. erdit.
There 1a anv unusual degree of
peace between employers and labor.
There Is a general feeling of confi-
dence which promises to result In
courageous undertaking of fresh en-
terprises. European conditions are. much Im-
proved and there is more reason for
hopefulness than at any time since
the Armistice but 1 am confident
there it no Immediate serious threat
that European Industrial competition
will endanger our own situation.
European governments have paid
our government In the last five
months 80.000000 on Interest ac-
counts. Europe now owes onr private
Investors 400.000.000 a year la In-
terest. Europe must sell ns goods
A chief word of warning I'-would
give .to- Investors at the moment Is
to exercise caution regarding Invest-
ments In New. European Issues.
In time we are almost certain to
run Into a phase of Inflation. The
memory of 1920 la still too fresh to
make' such a movement precipitous
tat I believe It Is Inevitable. ' Wo
have every bails for inflation. Our
gold stock haa risen in ten - years
from 1800000.000 to 4.500.000.000.
Much of that haa purposefully been
made useless for the present by forc-
ing gold certificates into circulation.
In-spile of having bought a billion
dollars of European securities this
year gold. Is still flowing towards ns.
Some Inflation Is now under way.
Rapidly Increasing bank deposits
mark that Rising Index figures of
prices Indicate IL As commodity
prices continue to rise there will
be Increased desire on the part of
the buyers to cover their future needs
and constantly Increase stimulation
of business.
The time will of course come whbii
there will be great .hteEl for caution
tat the outlook tor some months at
least la. for great and on the whole
sound expansion. -

what tho rest of yon folks are hear-

to tell about It. If a fellow picki
up some dandy program and another
of the same Is coming np again why
not let him know about It through
this column.
Last night Mrs F. IL Linton. 1404
Chickasha avenue grabbed off a
couple of programs sent from outside
the United State. She first picked
up station CYL In Mexico City and
heard n dandy program or vocal
Mtoctfona. She next picked np ita-
tkin OKY In -Wlnnepeg Can. where
ho listened for some time to n pro-
gram of orchestra music. Both came
in dear a a bell she states.
Boys consult your .daddy. Tell
him about your school work and get
hie advice on everything. The beat
friend that you wilt aver have is that
father of yours and you be the boy
that he wants you to be.
That is the advice given by Rev.
R. L. Davidson of Ardmore to the
boys who were guests of tho mem-
bers of the Chickasha Klwgnis club
at their annual father and son ban-
quet which was held at tha Masonic
Hall last night In keeping with the
hlen of National Father and 8cm
week.
In addition to tbe addreas by Rev.
Davidson . the boys and their hosts
of n boy than to ta wealthy and not
be n dad. the speaker declared. He
then referred to hia own sons and
told of the experiences of one of
them In the World War. Ha had a
son who waa In tha aviation and who
waa shot down In n battle three
miles in tho air. He aald that hia
son narrowly escaped death when hie
plane fell to earth and when ho came
to In a hospital the next day he re-
marked to a nurse that ha waa spared
because he had a father back tame
who waa praying for him.
Fathers get acquainted with your
sons. Today men do not take time
to know their own eons. Cut down a

Ella J. Peterson director of public

voiced (heir approval of these two
special numbers when they were both
encored.
James Hammond who waa ' the
guest of Kiwantan Garner Collums
and -Glenn Beasley the guest of H.
N. Mulliean received the hoys prises
which' were offered. Babe Yates re-
ceived the weekly Kiwanta prise and
'he In turn presented It to Herbert
Duncan hta guest.
In opening hta address Rev. David-
son who ta pastor of the First Bap-
tist church of Ardmore and who ta a
member of the Ardmore Kiwanta club
aid that hta city had more sunshine
In the streets and more moonshine
in the cellars than any town in the
state. There seems to he a thriving
loan business In Chickasha he de-
clared in telling of the many Klwan-
tan Papa who had to borrow boys
for (ho meeting.
The business of being n daddy ta
the biggest business In the world. 1
had rather be poor and. ta a daddy
to that boy of yours. The over privi-
leged boy ta (he one who ta making
an excess of business of the criminal
eonrta oftha land today. Ho ta the
fellow that needs your attention and
not the under privileged boy.
Gain the respect and confidence
of that boy and to do that you must
be true. When you have dona that
yon have won three-fourths or the
battle. Be a pal to that lad of yours.
The greatest place for a boy to go
wrong ta tn his sports. Return to
boyhood and ta a pal of that son. I
have seen boys who at 25 yearn of
age couldnt make a living. Men.
tench those hoys how to make a liv-
ing. Then tench him to make a life.
Teach him to bo honest clean and
pnre and to do that you must liv-
right before tho boy.
Boys It ta the greatest thing In
the world to be n son of a good
daddy. I want yon to honor your
father."

from the ten commandments: Honor
thy Cither and thy mother that thy
days may be long. Hta address was

The annual rOport of the years
work for the home was given nt tlie
session last night . by Rev. J. D.
Rounds general convention secretary
and superintendent of the home. In
making the report for the. activities

Our home of orphan children has
passed through a year of tribulation.
We have cared for 132 children at

being In the home. It was thought
that wo had n capacity of 150 but

we have the most efficient staff wo
have tad In the home.
