Oklahoma City— Excitement over
the removal of the state officers snd
their effects from Guthrie to Oklaho-
ma City which Sunday night caused
Gov C N Haskell to threaten to call
out the militia has simmered down
and Monday morning January 2 will
see every state officer quartered In
Oklahoma City
Special cars chartered to convey
the records and state furniture of the
offices of the various state officials
will reach Oklahoma City at 6:30
o’clock Monday morning from Guth-
rie on the Santa Fe
All day Sunday the governor was
In conference with various state offi-
cials who bad been served with no-
tice to appear at Guthrie Tuesday and
show reason why they were not in
contempt of court by removing to Ok-
lahoma City The result of these con-
ferences was not made public
State officials who had not removed
to Oklahoma City from Guthrie and
whose effects and records were still
In the former state capital were busy
Sunday packing up and -getting ready
to move here All records of tbe
state officials the state libraries and
effects Sunday afternoon and night
were placed in freight cars awaiting
them and moved to Oklahoma City by
a special engine
Feeling in Guthrie Sunday over the
removal of the state officials from
that city bad quieted down A state
official who bad Just arrived from
Guthrie Sunday stated that while
there had been a large crowd around
the state house Saturday night when
the records were being packed up and
some excitement was In the air no
rash act was contemplated
He said that while Governor Has-
kell had threatened to call out the
militia If trouble occurred attendant
to the removel of the records from
Guthrie cooler heads had prevented
trouble and that the governor was
informed that no such action was nec-
essary The supreme court of the state sit-
ting In Oklahoma City will pass upon
the legsllty of the capital location bill
as passed by the special extraordinary
session of the legislature convoked
here In December The bill was
signed by Governor Haskell last
Thursday night At the same time the
supreme court will act on the contest
filed by Guthrie in which that city
still continues its fight to prevent the
removal of the capital
On the same date and at Guthrie
Judge A H Huston of the district
court will hoar evidence In the notices
of contempt filed against the various
state officials because of their remov-
al from Guthrie Notices have been
served upon all state officials to ap-
pear Tuesday before that court and
show why they are not in contempt
The citation is based upon an Injunc-
tion granted by Judge Huston en-
joining the removal of the state offi-
cials and the records The injunction
was sustained by the supreme court
Following the signing of the capital
bill by Governor Haskell however all
state officials began to remove from
Guthrie to Oklahoma City Citizens
of Guthrie charge that they are in con--tempt
of the court order
State officials maintain that the
authority upon which they removed
their records from Guthrie to Oklaho-
ma City is that of the legislature and
the governor Whether this authority
is vested in the legislature or is vested
in the supreme court is a question
upon which attorneys differ
The supreme court’s decision will be
as to the legality of the capital loca-
tion bill as passed by the legislature
The suit filed in the district court at
Guthrie is almost similar The district
court suit was brought as it is claimed
that tbe bill giving the supreme court
original and absolute jurisdiction in
all capital matters was passed by a
legislature illegally convoked and
therefore there might be questionas
to the supreme court's Jurisdiction in
the suit

COT HIS SOBRIQUET EARLY
Portugal Unsettled
London — The correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle who wrote the brilliant
account of the Lisbon revolution says
In an article in the Chronicle Friday
on the present situation in the new
republic that everything points to a
coming conflict in which the battles
will not tie between royalists and re-
publicans but between the moderate
republicans and extreme revolution-
aries The hidden spring of the con-
spiracy he says is the Camorra or
secret society which corrupted the
army from its allegiance to the mon-
archy and is now busily engaged in
corrupting it afresh in order to have a
powerful lever ready at hand against
the provisional government which has
nover been firm in the saddle

Fighting Started In Honduras
Puerto Cortez Honduras — An at-
tack upon Puerto Cortez by the revo-
lutionary gunboat Hornet which was
reported several miles off this coast
late Friday night is expected Several
hundred government troops arrived
Thursday from Tegucigalpa and others
came in Friday morning Fighting
has already begun at Las Quabranoa
according to reports
Following rumors that the United
States cruiser Tacoma had sighted
the Hornet Thursday night the Amer-
ican consul at the instance of Com-
mander Davis of the Tacoma warned
all Americana to remain indoors if
trouble starts
Notice was given the commandant
that the Tacoma will land marines to
protect tbe American interests here
The Honduran gunboat Tatumbia is
in the harbor but her two one-pounders
are not expected to be of much
use in defending the town against an
attack by the Hornet which is report-
ed as having four six-inch modern
rifles and three machine guns T4ie
Tatumbia Is not considered seaworthy
last two years although undoubtedly
Insolvent and although inspected at
regular Intervals by national bank ex-
aminers Within that time the exam-
iners were unable to learn the bank’s
true condition largely because the
management refused to keep a proper
record of Its business transactions
It also showed that the entire capital
of 950000 and probably some of the
938000 surplus was paid out to stock-
holders as dividends
In a statement Comptroller Murray
says his examiners were hoodwinked
for two years by the way the bank
handled its notes
Within these two years” the comp-
troller says “the bank carried com-
paratively little ‘past due' paper all
of the notes having the appearance
of having been probptly paid or re-
newed The bank had no discount
register and the various earing ac-
counts were kept in such a manner
aa to make it practically impossible to
audit them
“By this method of accounting the
bank without detection by the exam-
iner had doubtful and worthless notes
renewed with the Interest added to
the note at the time of renewal This

"I liked my coffee strong and I
drank it strong” says a Pennsylvania
woman telling a good story “and al-
though I had headaches nearly every
day I just would not believe there
was any connection between tbe two
I had weak and heavy spells and pal-
pitation of the heart too and al-
though husband told me be thought it
was the coffee that made me so poor-
ly and did not drink it himself for hs
said It did not agree with him yet I
loved my coffee and thought I Just
couldn't do without it
“One day a friend called at my
borne — that was a year ago I spoke
about how well she was looking and
she said:
“ ‘Yea and I feel well too It’s be-
cause I am drinking Postum In place
of ordinary coffee’
“I said ‘What is Postum ?
“Then she told me bow It was
food-drink and how much better she
felt since using it in place of coffee or
tea so I sent to the store and bought
package and when it was made ac-
cording to directions it was so good
I have never bought a pound of coffee
since ‘ I began- to improve Immediate-
ly “I cannot begin to tell yon how
much better I feel since using Postum
and leaving coffee alone My health
Is better than it has been for years
and I cannot say enough In praise of
this delicious food drink”
Take away the destroyer and put
a rebutlder to work and Nature will
do the rest That what you do when
Postum takes coffee’s place in your
