MURRAY RE-ENTERS OKLAHOMA POLITICS Picturesque Figure Who Tried Model Bolivian Colony Out for Governor. By the Associated Pre OKLAHOMA CITY, January 10.— Politics have called again to W. H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray, picturesque | figure in Oklahoma history, who re- | turned recently from Bolivia, where he attempted to establish an agricultursl colony. Murray has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for gov- ernor on a platform the chief plank of which declares that public utility cor- porations should not be permitted to engage in any business for which they | are not specifically chartered. i One other candidate, E. B. Howard of | ‘Tulsa, former Representative, has an- nounced for the Democratic guber- natorial nomination | Murray has entered the thick of | Oklahoma politics again, although it | had been his dream to spend the re- | mainder of his life “free from turmoil | and strife” in the paradise he hoped to | create in Bolivia. | Several years ago Murray turned his | attention to the establishment of the | Bolivian colony, a boyhood ambition. | He took 75 farmers, mostly married Ok- | lahomans, to settle a 20,000-acre con- | cession in Bolivia. | The project was short lived, however, and in less than a year after it was initiated all but two of the families in the original colony had given up hopes for success and had returned to the States. PORTUGUESE GUINEA COMMUNISTS ACTIVE| Propagandists Trained in Moscow Recently Agitated Native Ris- ing in French Guinea. | By the Associated Press. LISBON.—The first hint of Com- munist activity in Portuguese Guinea has come from Jose Peixoto Carvalho, chief of the native services of the co- lonial office. In a statement this official said that propagandists, trained by the Third In- ternationale in Moscow, have been un- usually active in the colony recently. Many of the emissaries came from | French Guinea, where they had been| agitating for a native rising. “It is the duty of the government,” he said, “to check the pernicious influ- ence of these firebrands by allowing the missionaries to spread the gospel in the back country from which they had been expelled by previous radical govern- ments.” ALBANIAN CENSORSHIP KEEPS PLOTTING DARK Northern Catholic Tribes Rumored ||| Ready to Join Moslems in Anti-Western Move.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January 10.—Judge Her- bert Immenhausen of Morals Court yesterday ordered an investigation of the methods whereby the Illinols Vig- flance Association secures the evidence upon which the booksellers are being prosecuted in Chicago for selling what | the association claims is obscene litera- | ture, ‘The investigation order was the climax of the trial of Miss Marion Mathes, 26, a saleslady in a local book store, ar- rested on a “John Doe” warrant. She was held in a police station cell several hours before securing her release, but the owner of the shop was not appre- hended. In his request for an investigation the court eriticized that portion of the law which provides for half of the fine going to the organization which makes the complaint. Judge Immenhausen also suggested the State's attorney's of- fice be more careful to see how evi- dence was obtained before prosecuting cases of this nature. It was charged in testimony at the trial of Miss Mathes that the agents of the association persuaded the shop- keeper to order literature not in stock for the purpose of ‘Bringing about the arrest and collecting the fee. Fire -i;ought With Powder. Fire fighting with powder instead of liquid is being tested in a big way by a German fire department. A fire en- gine has been equipped with a pump to force the powder through a hose. A harmless carbonic-acid powder was used effectively. It eliminated the dam- age to property by water and chemi- cals, which often amounts to more than done by the fire itself. Suits $38 and $40 Suits Suits ... Suits ...

By the Associated Press. ROME, January 10.—Crown Prince Humbert and his pretty young bride, the former Princess Marie Jose of Belgium, tomorrow will start on their honeymoon. Since their wedding Wednesday they have been here in at- tendance upon celebrations arranged in their honor. ‘The courle will seclude themselves at the Royal Hunting Lodge at San Rossore, near Pisa. After several days there they will go to Turin to receive the welcome of the city, which is the official residence of the prince and is seat of the 92d Infantry, of which Humbert is colonel. Last night the royal pair witnessed a pageant representing a wedding proces- sion of the Augustine era. Preceding the pageant they viewed from the balconies of the Quirinal Palace a grandiose fireworks display on historic Janiculum Hill outside the city. At the Villa Humberto the newlyweds this afternoon will listen to a concert of 6,000 schcol boys anr girls given in their honor. The youngsters will sing the old Sardinian hymn which ushered the couple to the altar, the Fascist anthem, “Youth,” and national airs of Italy and Belgium. In the evening they will attend a per- formance at the Royal Opera House. Refuses All Offers of Friendship. One of the absolutely untamable ani- mals at the British zoo is a native of Great Britain.

The first steam engine, the invention of John Ericsson, was given a very suc- cessful trial in London 100 years ago.
