GIRL'S STORY IS VEDY DAMAGING
(Muskogee Times.Democrat.
Damaging testimony was given in
Justice Miller's court Tueday morn,
ing by Miss Delila Genthe, in the case
of R. L. Lawhorn, a Missouri, Okla-
homa & Gulf fireman, who is charged
witha statutory offense.
' Miss Genthe is a husky country girl,
20 years old, and is a first cousin of
Lawhorn. She said that her home is
in Hugo, and she was induced to leave
there by Lawhorn, who took her to
Salina, Okla., where she and Lawhorn
registered as man and wife and lived
as such for two days and nights. In
Salina, she says, she committed her
first indiscreet act with Lawhorn,
who promised to marry her as soon
as he got a divorce from his wife.
From Salina, they came to Muskogee,
where she lived at the Concord hotel
for a week. Lawhorn did not live
with her there, but came to see her
and talked with her in the lobby. She
then secured a job as maid at the
home of a prominent Muskogee law.
yer, where she stayed for four weeks.
Lawhorn visited her there twice. She
■would meet him and they would take
long walks to Agency bill.
She became ill and says that her
cousin induced her to leave that place
and move to Millie Lane's house, 277
East Okmulgee, where she roomed.
She was given a| room adjoining his
and a door opened between. She re-
mained at Lanes until July 3, when
she quarreled with Lawhorn and
moved to 402 North Cherokee street,
where she is now staying. On cross
examination she says she quarreled
with Lawhorn because he promised to
keep her room rent paid and had
failed to do so. That night she went
to Hyde park with another man and
Lawhorn obJectea,"anfl they quarreled
about that. ' "J "* ''
**As he bad fatfe'd lo pay my room
rent, I did not fe*l that I Was under
obligations to l?fdi,'ratid It Was none of
hi business if :l Weirt f6 the park",
*he declared. ' f- '•
After Miss Genthe gave her testi.
mony the case was continued until
next Thursday.
In the case wherein Lawhorn was
arrested for wearing an emblem of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire,
men and Engineers, after he had been
expelled from the lodge, the assistant
county attorney asked a dismissal on
the grounds of insufficient evidence
to convict.
GIVING UP THE PACIFIC.
It is an ironical co-incidence that
while a delegation of big business
men from China arc toui-ing this
country, trying to get American cap.
ital to establish new ship routes to
the Far East, the biggest American
transportation line now in that busi-
ness is planning to give up the field.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Com-
pany, with its fleet of thirteen big
ships, has announced that it is going
out of business Nov. 2, This follows
hard upon the similar announcement
of the Dobert Dollar company. The
withdrawal of these two corporations
will leave the great western ocean
virtually bare of American vessels.
The surrender of the Pacific is a
tragic bit of commercial history, es.
Vecially as it is being surrendered
apparently to the Japanese, our chie!
rivals in the Pacific.
The reason given for the dissolu.
tion of both companies is the hard,
ship imposed by the new seamen's
law. That reason lecms genuine, al-
though the offer of high prices for
the ships, for use in the more profit-
able- trade, may have something to
do with their action. At any rate,
figures submitted by the Pacific Mail
Company constitute, on their face,
u striking arrangement of the new
regulations which-are to become ef-
fective in November. i
The law provides, among many re.
strictians, that no ship of cny nation-
ality "shall be permitted to depart
from any port in the United States
unless she has on board a crew not
less than 75 per cent of which, in
each department thereof, are able to
understand any order given by the of-
ficers of «ich vessel.''
The Pacific Mail representatives ex.
plain that at present, all ships in the
Pacific trade are manned by Japan-
ese, Chinese or East Indians, though
the officers, of course, are the game
nationality as the vessel itself. The
new rule will make it imperative for
nearly all the crew to be of the same
nationality as their officers. Thus
American sh'ps hereafter *111 have
to hire American sailors. firemen
waiters, etc., at a coot of $40 to $50
a month per man, while Japanese
ships can continue employing their
oriental crews at $6.501 to $9.00 a
month. The added cost to the Pacific
Mail Company for wages and for the
better food that American crews re.
quire is estimated at about $800,000 a
year.
The law was honestly intended for
the benefit of American labor. In
the oriental trade routes, at least, it
doesn't seem to be working to any-
body's benefit, and it seems to be an
obstacle everywhere to the 1-mlding
up our merchant marine.
The Husonian is not prone to saj
"I told you so". But it will be re
called that some odd months ago
when the Oklahoma City Times was
bought by John Fields and delivered
of a salutory in which the Times was
positively laid out as an independent
newspaper, the Husonian announced
that it detected a fly in the ointment.
The following from the editorial col-
umn of the Times will be of inter-
est.
It is true that the Times made its
declaration oi independence, but it
said nothing about becoming a non.
partisan or bipartisan in political
matters. The Times stands squarely
on the constructive principles of the
republican party. There was never
such a time for urging this doctrine;
never an hour when the best inter-
ests of state and nation so begged
for its universal acceptance.
The Quinine That Does Not Affect The Head
Because oI its tonic and laxative effect, LAXA-
TIVE BKOMO QUININE ia better than ordinary
Quinine and does not cause nervousness nor
ringing in head. Remember the full name and
look lor the aicnature oi E. W. GROVE. 25c.
The Ardmorite plumes itself upon
the fact that Ardmore has so far
not been affected with the jitney
"itch". The Husonian has always
understood that the Jitney only
only itches in those c'ties evidencing
metro politanism.
Now that Harry Thaw and L$o
Frank have been settled and Charles
Becker is Just about finished off, it
is to be hoped that the country can
bej spared any more long drawn out
murder sensations until at lean the1
dog days have passed.
UPHOLDS LAW
ABOLISHING OFFICE.
Supreme Court Renders Decision in
Register of Deeds Case.
Oklahoma City, Ok., July 28.—The
Supreme Court, in an opinion by
Justice Hardy, held that the act of
the Legislature of May, 1913, abolish-
ing the office of Register of Deeds is
valid. The decision was in the case
of Oklahoma county. In January, Mr.
Cornelius, now Co'inty clerk, sought
to obtain the records of the Register
of Deeds office from Clifton Ratliff.
The law abolishes the office of Reg-
ister of Deeds in all counties of the
state and provides that the duties of
that office shall be performed by the
County Clerk.
EIGHTEEN THOUSAND
LIBRARIES IN U.S.
There are over 18,000 regularly es-
tablished libraries in the United
Statts containing more than 75,000,000
volumes, according to statistics just
compiled by the United States Bu.
reau of Education. The number of
volumes is an increase of 20,000,000
since 1908.
Of the 2,849 libraries containing
5,000 volmea or over, 1,844 are clas-
sified as "public and societylibraries,"
and 1,005 are school and college 11.
braries. Public and society libraries
have an aggregate of over fifty mil.
lion volumes, with seven million bor-
rowers' cards in force; 1,446 of these
libraries were entirely free to the
public.
Libraries reporting frt>n> 1,000 to
5,000 volumes numbered 5,453, of
which 2,188 were public and society
libraries, and 3,265 school libraries,
These libraries contained 11,6S9,942
volumes. Another group of still, smal.
ler libraries, comparing those that
reported from 300 to 1,000 volumes,
increased the total by 2,961,007 vol-
umes.
The distribution of library facllL
ties Is etill uneven. Of the 1,844
public and society libraries reported
for the entire United States, more
than half were in the North Atlantic
States, and they contained 24,627,921
volumes out of the total of fifty mil-
iieus; and of the three million vol-
umes added to library collections for
•he year 1913, almost one.half were
tor the same 'section. New York
state had 7,842^21 volumes In her
214 libraries; Massachusetts, 7,380,-
024 in 288 libraries; Pennsylvania, 3,-
728,OtO; and Illinois, 3,168,765 vol.
times. Four fifths of the borrowers'
cards in use were in the North At-
lantic and North Central states.

' Ophir, Famous Turkey, Dead.
• Virginia City, Nev., July 28.—
' Ophir, perhaps the most famous
• turkey in the world, is dead at
' the age of two and a half years.
' Ophir's fhmo was in the manner
1 of his birth, which did not come
1 about through the agency of moth.
' er hen or patent incubator; but
' by the mysterious, subterranean
1 of a great mine—the Ophir.
Ophir's mother made a clandes.
1 tine nest in a disguised mine
car, which, by chance was taken
into the mine and left there. In
the ntost were half a dozen eggs,
and in due process o. time strange
peepings in the deep workings
led to an investigation and the
finding of a wobbly, fluffy, hung-
ry turkey chick, taken to the
surface, the bird grew, after the
manner of his kind, into a proud
and noisy pobbler. Of course he
was early christened Ophir. His
fame arose from the fact that
his incubator cost over a million
dollars.

SADDLE MAN'S
DOME BOMBED
DALLAS MAN AND SON IN BED
WHEN BOMB IS EXPLODED
WERE HEAD8 OF SADDLE PLANT
THERE.
Warning of Explosion Had Been
Passed out in Advance. Both*Men
Seriously Wounded.
By Associated Press.
Dallas, Texas, July 27.—As the re-
sult of finding dynamite under the
house of J. D. Padgett here last night
and dynamiting the residence of W.
T. Moore, foreman of the Padgett
eaddlery factory, the saddlery announ-
ces it will fill no more European sad-
dle war orders for the present. Moore
and his son who were wounded are
recovering.
Dallas, July 27.—W. T. Moore, veter-
an saddle maker and forman of the
saddle shop of the Padgitt Brothers
Saddlery Company, and his son.
Frank J. Moore, had a miraculous es.
cape from death last night when a
lighted bomb exploded under their
bed at 1801 Crockett street. Both
were asleep at the time of the vio.
lence of the explosion was such that
their bed was hurled ;completel>
across the room and the room wat>
wrecked.
Probably the only fact that the mat.
tress was between them and the ex-
ploding bomb saved their lives. From
all appearances, the bomb had been
thrown in through an open window
at the north side of their bed, im-
mediately under their heards. A bole
several feet wide was torn through
the floor; the walls of an adjoining
room collapsed into the faces of its
sleeplug occupants and the floor of
the bedroom above them was torn
from the walls at the side.
For thirty years Mr. Moore has
been connected with the Padgitt Bros.
Saddelry Company which during the
last year has been executing large
saddlery and harness contracts for
the warring nations Of Europe,, Es-
pecially Great Britain and. Frapce.
Only a short time befofe the ex_
plosion at the Moore residence vas
reported to the police, Desk Sergeant
W..C. Brishear at the city hair fro-
Jl(jq ftation had received a call
J.H). Padgett, president of llie Pad-
gett Bros. Saddelry Company. He
told them that three different men
bad called hiin up during the after,
noon and told him over the telephone
that his house would be wrecked by a
bomb.
Mr. Moore, who is about 50 years,
of age, was badly injured, but it was
thought last night that be will re.
cover. His son, Frank J. Moore, who-
was sleeping by his side, escaped
without serious injury. Both were-
hurled across the room by the force of
the exposion. The were immediately
taken in the city ambulance to St.
Paul's sanitarium, but the son was
soon able to leave there and return
to his wrecked home.
No doubt was entertained by the
physicians as to his recovery.
J. D. Padgett, president of the Pad-
gitt Bros. Company, said last night:
"We found two bombs under the side
of my residence tonight. Each bomb-
was made of two sticks of dynamite
and had only a fuse attached. There
was no clock work or other time ar.
rangement—Just the fuse all laid
ready to light. At this hour, 12:30
a. m„ the detectives are .watchifig to
see if the man who laid the bombs
will come along to light the fuses. I
have no Idea who could have placed
these bombs. We have no friction In
any way with labor and all of our
/employes are a high class of men." -
