Oklahoma City.—Cotton seed men
ore In a quandary as to how the food
administration's enforcement of the
federal law controlling the cotton seed
Industry will work ouL
Under the provision ot the federal
regulation, “oil mills shall not keep in
their possession at any time any
arrester quantity of cotton seed than
shall be equivalent to their normal
erushing capacity for a period ot sixty
days."
In Oklahoma the cotton is nearly
all ginned by December 15, and It
has been the practice of the oil mills
to store enough seed by that time to
run them an entire season, or until
seed from the next year’s crop is
available. Most oil mills have enough
seed on hand now to run the fifty-two
working days that occur in the cal
endar period of sixty days allotted by
the. government, and they can only
buy seel as they work it up from now
on.
Dinners are not permitted, under
the provisions of the law, to store
more than twenty tons of seed, and it
is said, that when the ginners shall
have stored that Rmount and the oil
mills have procured a supply sufficient
to last flfty-two days, which they now
have in most Instances, there will be
no market for cotton seed except as
the oil mills manufacture the seed
Into the finished products.
Farmers are not allowed to sell un-
licensed dealers and dealers who want
the seed for feeding purposes.
No Havsn for Crooks.
“1 sm determlnsd that Oklahoma
shal not become a haven for crooks
and fugitives from justice while 1 am
governor," declared Governor Wil-
liams “I am going to honor every
requisition from governors of other
states for men who are seeking refuge
here after their crimes, when it is
apparent that there is cause to send
them back to stand trial."
The governor s statement was mads
after he had allowed two requisitions,
one from Kansas and the other from
Illinois. He said there haa been a re-
qultltlon awaiting him for action al-
most every day for a month.
The first one he was called to act
upon was from jQovarnor Capper of
Kansas, asking him to allow the re-
turn to Eldorado, Kansas, of W. H.
Rothwell from Wirt, charged with
bribing a policeman la Augusta, to
allow him to run a bootlogging joint
Governor Williams honored the re-
quisition and the attorney for Rothwell
promptly applied In the court of
criminal appeals for a writ of haboaa
corpus to get freedom for Rothwell on
ground of a'technical error In the re-
quisition papers. The appeal was de-
nied. The second requisition of the
day was in the case of H. A. Porter,
arrested in Tulsa for the Chicago
STATEWIDE
Frisco Will Improve Lines.
Under threat of federal and state
action, almost every Important of
flclal of the Frisco railroad from the
president down crowded into the of
flees of the corporation commission
at the state house and promised to
be good.
"Appalling congestion" of traffic on
the Frisco system In this state
given by the corporation commission
as a reaaon for action against the road.
Conditions became so bad about a
week ago that the corporation commit
sioners wired the national council ot
defense for help. The commerce com-
mission promised to interfere if such
interference is needed, and the coun-
cil of defense also promised co-oper-
ation.
But the outside help is not needed,
It developed. When the Frisco offici-
als were notified of the action which
has been taken against the road, they
ewooped down on Oklahoma City en
masse and promised the corporation
commission that every effort will be
made to straighten out the tangle.

giving internal revenue collectors the
power to regulate tha sale of alcohol
in their districts. The law does not
affect the stock ot beverages, already
manufactured or in process of making,
but will prevent the use of ileohol In
any preparation except for medicinal
purposes.
All druggists or dealers In Okla-
homa who desire to handle alcohol
must make application to Hurbert L.
Bolen, internal revenue collector, for
a permit. The application must con-
tain the statement of the purpose for
which the spirits are to be used, and if
for medicinal purposes, a formula of
the preparation must be aubmltted for
analysis.
Druggists and dealers who are given
permits to handle alcohol will be re-
quired to furnish a bond three times
the value of the stock they carry. The
bond must be approved by the collect-
or before a permit will be granted.
The Oklahoma prohibition law pro-
vides that druggists and licensed deal-

State May Oust 10-Cent Milkman.
All the power of the state will be
brought to bear on action to oust Ed-
gar L. Stone from his little farmhouse
north of the city, a comparatively
abort distance from the statehou.ee
The school land commission vtited
to have Attorney Generrl Freeling be-
gin proceedings at once to force Stone
and his family from his home
Stone is the farmer who recently
aroused the Ire of the 15-cent milk
gougers by showing how he averages
$1,500 a year net Income on milk st
10 cents a quart. Durtrg the hot cam-
paign for cheaper milk, he gave com-
plete figures to show that a good pro-
fit can be made In selling milk at the
cheaper price.
According to the allegations made
before the board, Stone and his family
have been living on the land owned
by the state for three years, without
paying rental fee. During the three
years there haR been no question of
his occupancy of the tracL
The motion to have him thrown off
the farm was passed with a rush.
Revenue Fund Must Pay for Hospital.
Oklahoma City virtually was assur-
ed of the establishment of a state
hospital when District Judge Clark
granted a peremptory writ of mandam-
us ordering E. B. Howard to draw
$200 000 from the general revenue
fund of the state for the purpose of p^rnwYtomi*
erecting the hospital. Pushmataha
The mandamus action was brought Rogers .. .
by 8. P. Freeling against Mr. Howard >«mlnole ..
and was a friendly suit, all of the Mephen*
claims of both sides being set out in ••
the petition. Mr. Howard contended rinaa
that the money for trie erection of the ••
hospital should be taken from the pub- Washington
11c fund, which was insufficient for the • ■
purpose. Mr. Freeling was of the Total.....
opinion that the money should be
taken from the general revenue fund. NITR0 THROWER W0UNDEC

Tulsa —Lee Harris. 26 years old. ao-
cused of being a hank robber, was
shot to death by police detectives here
after a running gun battle ot more
than an hour’s duratton.
Harris, who had boasted that he
would not go “alone” and that he
would die by his own hand rather
than surrender to officers, ran into a
blind alley and. finding himself coro-
ered, began firing at the detectives.
Nine bullets from the officers’ guns
entered Harris’ abdomen.

power.
In war, these balloon* are located
from three to five miles from the first
line of trenches, and from the bas-
ket, two men, a pilot and nn observer
give the range and results of firing by
telephone to the artillery. For thla
reason the section is known as the
“eyes of the artillery."
On the western front, they are
placed from one-half to a mile apart
according to conditions, and are
provided with parachutes nttsched
to the men In the hasket; In event of
accident to the balloon the men para-
chute safely to the earth.
