HIGHLY PLEASED
WITH CHICKASHA
Beauty Cleanliness and Solidity oi
City Make Deep Impression
Effect of Transfer on
Employes Uncertain
In view of the receiver's sale of the
Oklahoma Central railway which will
occur at noon in Turcell July 31 a
party of Santa Fe officials arrived In
Chickasha last night In a special train
and this morning accompanied by a
number of Oklahoma Central officials
started on a tour of inspection of the
road from Chickasha to Lehigh.
Among the Santa Fe officials were
C. V. Rounds general manager To-
peka Kan ; E. Raymond general sup-
erintendent Newton Kan. and R. A.
Rutledge chief engineer Topeka. In
addition to these were a corps of
clerks and assistants. The party was
piloted over the road by the following
O. C. officials: Dorset Carter chief
executive under the Oklahoma Central
receiver; W. G. Choate general man-
ager; B. M. Hallo traffic manager and
K. C. Hand the engineer who con-
structed the road.
Yesterday evening Messrs. Konnds
Raymond and Rutiedge were taken for
a spin over the city by T. H. Dwyer
and expressed themselves as highly
pleased with f'hlckasha. "The Santa
Fb men exhibited a great deal of In-
terest in Chickasha" said Mr. Dwyer
this morning. "They asked a world of
questions about the town and ' the
country surrounding and commended
the city highly for Its beauty and
cleanliness. They also Btated one of
the things that impressed them was
the general appearance of solidity pre-
sented throughout. There Is no doubt
but that Chickasha made a lasting Im-
pression on their minds."
The sale of the Oklahoma Central
will be held on July 31 in Purcell by
Jurge H. P. Johnson of Ardmore and
as the Santa Fe is the only road
known at this time to be making ex-
tensive investigations it is presumed
that that road will make the purchase
find take over the property the pos-
session of which will be transferred
immediately. Following the sale the
receiver will be discharged by the
court and the purchaser will be given
full possession.
Oklahoma Central officials do not
even hazard a guess as to what the
transfer will mean to the men now in
the employ of the road. They think it
probable that no changes will be made
in the auditing department for 30 to
K0 days after the property is taken
over. The first changes It Is believed
will come in the traffic and executive
departments.
While no statement has been given
out as to changes In train Bervlce or
equipment It Is rumored that the train
service is to be changed within the
near future. Whether or not new
equipment will be placed on the road
cannot bs !2rrd. It is presumed that
the Santa Fe will use the road chiefly
to transport the output of the Lehigh
coal mines which mines are now the
property of the Santa Fe the owner-
ship having been taken over from the
Missouri Paciflo interests.
It. has been persistently talked that
the Santa Fe will extend the road with-
in the near future probably from Le
high to Paris Texas which extension
would connect them with several liner)
and one' nrtinch of their own road at
the Paris terminal and give them an
outlet for the product from the Le-
high mines. It is thought hardly prob-
able that an extension from Chlckasha
to Clinton will bo made soon as the
"dopesters" figure the extension from
Lehigh to Paris of far more Import-
ance. The Santa Fe special will complete
the trip over the lines today return-
ing to Purcell where they will take
the Santa Fe lines again and presum-
ably return to Topeka.
GALVESTON MURDER IS
8TILL A MYSTERY.
By United Press.
Dallas Texas July 23. Mrs.
Alma Johnson returned homo
today from Galveston setting
at rest the feurs of her family
that she might bo the murder
victim there. The real Identity
of the victim remains a mys-
tery. VENABLE IN
THE RACE TO
THE FINISH
"Venablo has withdrawn."
"Venable has not withdrawn."
These conflicting reports and a con-
siderable crop of sensational Tumors
have made the county attorney's race
the topic of absorbing Interest during
the pant twenty-four hours. Clarifying
the atmosphere somewhat Mr. Ven
ablo Issued a statement this afternoon
saying that he had signed notice of his
withdrawal but later recalled his action
and was In the race to the finish. His
statement Is as follows:
Chickasha Okla. July 23 1914.
Daily Express: An article in this
morning's Oklahoman stated that I
bad withdrawn from the race for coun-
ty attorney of Grady county. I want
to say that I did sign notices of with-
drawal as was stated but upon recon-
sideration thereof made a demand that
the notices bu. -eturned to me in less
than thirty minutes which was refus-
ed by friends of my opponent. So the
item In the Oklahoman is without au
thority and foundation and the refusal
to return the notices after I had made
demand for them la one of the methods
being used by my enemies to accom-
plish my defeat
I am in the race and shall be until
the (ast vote is counted and I fully
believe that when the votes are count
ed that a tremendous majority will bo
recorded In my favor.
Thanking you for your courtesy In
making the correction for me I beg to
remain. Your truly.

FIRST TEST
FOR WOMEN
By United Press.
Chicago July 23. The women of
Illinois will undergo their first real
test as a political factor in the coming
campaign. In the April elections they
voted only for city officers but on No-
vember 3 they will have the additional
privilege of voting for county state
and national officers.
The officers for whom the electorate
of the whole state will vote are: Stato
treasurer superintendent of public in-
struction clerk of the supreme court
three trustees of the University of Illi
nois and United States senator. All
counties and several cltiea will pro
vide several offices to be filled.
The municipal elections last spring
afforded little opportunity for profes-
sional politicians to get a line on the
women's voting strength as one alder-
man was elected from each ward and
women voted for different candidates
even when voting for the same party.
The fall campaign which is just get
ting under way will permit the women
to combine In support of certain can-
didates and it is very probable their
votes will decide the fate of many as-
pirants for the various offices.

flowing with injured.
Just outside the capital a passenger

held up by strikers and the passengers
were all driven out of the cars. The
strikers who numbered 300 then cut
down the telegraph poles and raised
obstructions on the tracks. A detach
ment of Cossacks and gendarmes ar-
rived quickly on the scene and drove
off the wreckers. Traffic was then
resumed but every train was convoy-
ed by a locomotive with an armed es-
cort At Rigan the strike movement was

DAIRYING
IS BOOSTED
AT PICNIC
Initial steps toward the organiza
tion of an association for the promo
tion of better dairy conditions in Grady
county were taken yesterday at the
Tabler picnic held on the farm of S.
W. Heanoy when the superior qualifl-1
cations of Guernsey cattle were ex
plained and the advantages of dairy-
ing in Oklahoma were shown. The
result was a very interesting meeting
and the starting of a "Guernsey." as-
sociation among the farmers.
In an Interview this morning C. A.
McNabb county farm agent Baid "The
purpose of the meeting was for the
promotion of a dairy association in the
county featuring Guernsey cattle re
cognized the world over as the leading
dairy cattle. A big crowd of farmers
turned out and a great deal of inter-
est was shown. S. W. Heaney on
whose farm the picnic was held has a
nice herd of Guernseys started and it
is the aim of the organization to liter-
ally fill the county with these cattle.
The cow standing at the head of all
other dairy cattle In record of produc
tiveness is a Guernsey and is known
as May Uilma. She is owned by a
dairyman in Michigan. Her record for
one year tn the production of milk .s
a net profit of $716.15. Mind you this
is net profit. A strict account of every
dollar's worth of feed she consumed
during that period was kept the ex-
pense of the attention given her was
also added to the bill the milk she pro
duced was sold at six cents a quart
and the net profit was the amount
have mentioned.
"I do not mean that every Guernsey
cow will produce that amount or het
profit per year. The average run is
from $75 to $150 per annum. But take
as a comparison the man who raises
beef cattle and the dairyman. Who
has the better chance for making
money? The beef cattle man feeds his
stock quantities of expensive stuff. He
keeps the stock one two or three years
and has to dispose of the animal to
derive any profit. Can you Imagine
a beef steer yielding a net profit of
$75. The dairyman has all the advant-
age. Te keeps his cow a year derives
more profit from her than he could by
sale the herd is Increased by the calf
during the year and he has his cow
left. All the time she Is making rich-
er the ground on which feed for her
is grown. There is no doubt but that
an extensive dairying business here
is the salvationof Grady county. We
want to start a proposition that will
revolutionize the business In the coun-
ty and I am glad to say that I think
the seed for such business was sown
yesterday at Tabler."

Mexico City July 23. Following an
order Issued by Provesional President
Carbajal that the statute of Washing-
ton which was torn down during th

tion of Vera Cruz be replaced a
kindlier feeling is being manifested to

istice between the government and the
constitutionalists was signed Wednes-
day night and that hostilities will be
suspended at once throughout the re-
public was the statement given out
Wednesday night by Gen. F.duardo
Iturblde governor of the federal dis
trict in the name of President Carba-
jal. Gov. Iturblde added that tha
peace negotiations would be advanced
on a basis of giving full guarantee to
everybody.
Prospects for peace grew brighter
with the announcement from Carranza
sources in the capital that negotiations
for the transfer of the government to
the constitutionalists were proceeding
favorably.
The same hopeful view was taken by
federal officials and it is understood
Gen. Carranza has agreed to a general
amnesty the chief point for which Pro-
visional President Francisco Carbajal
has been contending.
The. 300 men in the advance guard ot
Gen. Alvaro Obregon's 800O constitu-

of Gen. Vanustiano Carranza probably
will be the first constitutionalist com-
mander to arrive here and his force
is believed to be sufficient to insure
the capital against. Internal disorder
or attacks by bandits now active in
the south.
The impression prevails here that
I he Hnerta congress will not meet
again and that the next session In. the
chamber of deputies will be that of thf
members of the Madero congress dis-
solved by Huerta last October.
