"It doesn't matter," Mr. Robins said

In discussing labor, and the views

of the late president In regard to class government, "whether you have a monopoly of capital in command of

a government, or a monopoly of labor

m command of the government, you

have got a class government and that Is an enemy to democracy." Announcement was made following the meeting yesterday that the first contribution has been received for the memorial fund from a school. It came from the James Whitcomb Riley i School of Vlncennes.

Revision of Prayer Book Talked by Episcopalians DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 16. Extra sessions of the triennial general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church here are to be . held the next eight days in an effort to complete the unusually heavy program of legislation before it. A Saturday afternoon and possibly evening meting will be called, it was stated today. Consideration of proposed amendments to the canons of ordination was undertaken this morning In the house of deputies. The House of Bishops has completed this work. Constitutional amendments of a minor nature also were taken up today. Revision of the book of prayer was on the afternoon program with the expectation of lengthy discussion because of opposition of many delegates to some of the proposed changes. Amending of the prayer book was to be taken up in the order of the morning and evening prayer, modification of new matter, the burial office, penitential office, typographical arrangement of the prayer book and the Litany.

REGULAR RIP-R'ARIN' OLD-TIME TEXAS

CENTER IS NEWTOWN, OIL METROPOLIS

Herbert Corey, in Kansas City Star NEWTOWN, Tex Newtown isn't

on the map yet. It isn't even a town. But things happen in it, like new millionaires and shooting scrapes and

dance halls and gambling and oil wells.

It is the nearest to the magazine fiction Texas that can be found now

adays. Even then it isn't very near. A pessimist mourned the other day, after reviewing the Newtown record, that the saloons had been done away with.

"We hadn't oughta chased the sa

loons," he said. "It's safer with sa-

soons in a town like this. You see,

it used to be that men got drunk and when the high-jackers robbed 'em peaceful. But nowadays, with them

plumb sober, the high-jacker, he just ,

naturally got to hit 'em on the head."

Newtown is about a mile from Burk-

brunett, which until recently was the

heart of the oil excitement hereabouts. Burkburnett is incorporated and dignified now. When "the law" a policeman or sheriff in Texas is not referred

to by his proper title; he is "the law"

undertakes to be enforced in Texas it is enforced. Civic Authorities Awake. Some time ago the civic authorities of Burkburnett awoke to the fact that things were happening which did not become a thriving young metropolis, which is set half- way between Gol conda and Golgotha. If all goes well, Burkburnett will maintain its record of shelling out new millionaires like peas fall through a hopper. But if some one lights a cigarette in the wrong place and a northeast wind is blowing the ashes must be raked the next morning to find Burkburnett. All the unworthy people were chased out of Burkburnett. Just a mile away oil was being struck, and so the unworthy ones went over there. And Newtown is now worth a good look, partly for its oil and partly for its other features. A good-looking young woman walked down the place where the sidewalk ought to be clad in overalls, this morning. So did another, except that she had furled the mainsails of her pantings, so to speak, thereby exposing a considerable expanse of silk stockings. Another young woman stood on a plank in the mud, where a street corner may some day be, clad in silk stockings and a knee length skirt and a short sleeved and low necked waist. Then there were many other young women. All,

I hope and believe, were the very pinks of propriety. At any rate they were pink. All About Texas Mud. Newtown consists of one street which in wet weather is fathomless, the aboriginal Texas mud being guiltless of any suggestion of paving, and in dry weather is a rutted relief map of what it is in wet weather. There are only one or two holes in the

street, which the automobiles avoid, however. The street is reddish and adhesive, either wet or dry. On either side of the street are many little one-story pine shacks, standing elbow to elbow. There is Mother's Place, where one can get a "good meal," and the Yale house, where a shower bath costs 75 cents, and the Fashion store, which imports all its ladies' wear direct. There are likewise many places where soft drinks of various sorts are sold, and one or two general stores in which the cases of bottled soft drinks are piled ceiling high. Today an alert officer found 400 bottles of whisky hidden under the sweet

potatoes In a car billed to Newton. Some rascal must have hidden them there.

I wouldn't even visit the place if

they had booze there," said my motor driver, "They're tough enough as it is."

Hlgh-Jacker Very Rough. High-jacking, it seems, flourishes

mightily in Newtown. High-jacking is robbery with or without trimmings. "The law" was helpless against the high-jackers until one night when a

robber undertook to hold up a big Swede. The big Swede had not lived in the United States long enough to understand that one should submit to outrage rather than break the law in resisting it. So, as the better element of Newtown asserts, "when that highjacker told him to come through he come a-shootin'." One bullet pierced the robber's neck, and the better element thereupon emerged from its abris and tied a rope around the wounded neck and went to string him up. The big Swede interfered with this casual interference with his game, however,

and others came to his aid, so that in the end the robber was saved alive until he told about the industry of which he had been an exponent. Several arrests were made and, thanks to the discovery that the revolver carried by the shot man belonged to "the law," the law itself was put under arrest. "They'd oughta hung him, at that," grumbled my driver, "but I guess no

narm was done. He died anyway." Newtown's Attractions. There are a couple of dance halls in Newtown, wherein what are colloquially known as "loose janes," disport themselves at night. Likewise faro, roulette, chuck-a-luck and other forms of the good old army game are played openly. Water costs a dollar a barrel for cooking and drinking. So far as revealed by a cursory inspection it is not used In other ways. Mule

wagons, norse wagons, trucks, jitnCys and regular cars jolt and shiver up and down the one street continuously. At the end of the street is a low lying place which in winter becomes a bog Some enterprising gentleman has laid a corduroy road across the bog, and in winter time collects a quarter for each person or equipage that crosses "I'll say it's worth it," said the driver. All around are many oil wells and millionaires. For the moment Newtown is thrusting Burkburnett out of the center of the stage, partly due to the fact that Burk has been pretty thoroughly exploited, and partly be

cause there has been a cessation of activity at Burk until the pipelines can be laid. The High Cost of Wages. The sky Is overcast by a cloud of smoke from one of the burning wells. That does not frighten any one, for burning wells are incidents of any oil man's day. Scores of men are standing, sitting and just resting in an Inclined position against the uppainted pine walls of the Newtown ehantles. They could get work at from $5 to $25 a day derrick hands are paid $25 and mule skinners as much as $9 a day but they are on vacation. "A man don't have to work more than two or three days a week to get by," they say. Boys with jitneys make from $20 to $30 a day In the passenger trade.

Board sufficiently substantial to resist the appetite of a worklngman costs about $2 a day. Beds can be had as low as 50 cents, if the guest is willing to sleep in army blankets on army cots under army canvas and take the chances on the past and present occupants of the blankets. "Good beds," however, meaning beds that have linen on them, run as high as $2 a night. The persons using $2 beds are required to submit themselves to a

Ludendorff Won't Appear

to Have War Blame Fixed

(Bv Associated Press) BERLIN, Oct. 16. General Ludendorff is reported to have refused to

appear before the parliamentary commission investigating the responsibil

ity of German leaders for the war, which will begin sessions early next week. Carl Kautoky will address the

commission of the results of his investigation of pre-war diplomatic documents and suggests the names of individuals to be subpoenaed.

The judicial status of the commis

sion and the extent of its powers to

enforce attendance by witnesses Is

still uncertain and it is the opinion in some quarters that General Ludendorff cannot be compelled to submit to examination.
