the procedure can be kept up.
Contruted with the mark, which is

British pound sterling which is nearest

' below par and the best opinion in the
financial district is that it will close
that twenty cents gap before the end
of 1923. At one time the pound was
worth only a little more than 83. The
gain it has made measures to the last

Oklahoma Establishes
Own Secret Service
OKLAHOMA CITY. Hey 8.—0ltls-
home. hes started something new in
the line of state law enforcement with
its newly organised 'secret service.”
The “Service" is a forerunner of an
extensive state police force and is the
brain child of Governor Jack \Valton.
elected on s platform including pro-
mises or strict law enforcement.
The "rcrviec' has a personnel of
200 men, most of whom have records
of being picturesque Oklahoma sun-
n~en. on. whose identities are kept
secret.
The "service" has been dubbed
“Sooner State Secret Service" and in
time will rival the neighboring Texas
Rangers for activity in the game of
law enforcement. according to ex-
pectations of Governor “'alion.
Force of the Service has already
been directed at bands of automobile
thieves operating throughout the
state. with scores of arrests. Results
have also been obtained in prelimi-
nary drives against hootleggers and
moonshincrs, according ro word at the
capitol.
Governor Walton planned the Scr-
vice along lines similar to those of the
Federal Secret Service with the pre-
mier object of campaigning against
bootleggers and moonshiners, =t was

has begun. it will increase as the
pound comes nearer its normal value.
said. The' scope of this campaign
will be broadened later to take in
action against bank bandit and "by,"
bands and others defying the laws of
the state.
During the first few weeks or his
administration. the Governor tun
plans for establishment of s. State
Mounted Police Force. These plans
were abandoned. however. when the
legislature failed to enact his plans.
The legislature allowed organization
ot the secret service through on .p-
propriation of $50,000 a. year lor"'ex-
traordlnary protection of the state."
In the campaign against Violators
of the state and federal prohibition
laws, probability of establishing an
airplane squadron for the "Service"
has been seriously considered, it w”
admitted at the capitol. This pro-
bability will see development in the
coming few weeks.
The airplane squadron yill act as
the “eye" or the semca.
