Interior.
Horace Humphreys proprietor of
the Early hotel stated today that
plans -was being matured for radical
changes and extensive additions to
the building which when carried out
will make the hotel up-to-date in ev-
every respect.
It is proposed to build an addition
on the rear for kitchen and move the
dining rom back in order to give
' about 30 feet more space in the lobby.
Other changes contemplated in the
lobby will make it modern and at-
tractive. Workmen are now busy overhaul-
ing painting and repapering seventy-
son rooms in the hotel and new
carpets are being put down in many
cases. Preparations are being made
for installing a telephone in ev?ry
room. Mr. Humphrey made a con
tract with the Pioneer company for
the telephones some months ago but
the installation has been delayed till
the company gets the new central en
ergy system installed here. :
tne people. On the occasion of Mr.
Bond's address at Mangum he was
treated with extremely courtesy by
Mr. Carpenter and Mr. Bond's friends
returned the courtesy when the Man-
gum man came here Mr. Bond him-
self being out of the city.
Mr. Carpenter's address dealt
with the fundamental principles and
politicies of democracy state and na-
tional and he made & very favorable

views and he has the ability to ex-
press his opinion in a clear forcible
manner.
Mr. Carpenter went from here to
Duncan where he speaks this evening.

states that sn article in the Express
yesterday regarding the condition of
seats in the house was incorrect and
misleading. Referring to the article
Mr. IViorr's said:
"The seats have been screwed down
and repaired within the last two
weeks. It was a mistake- aWut a
woman being hurt on account of a
defective seat; no one was injured
from this cause."

Guthrie Okla. April 24 It is
claimed today that by the action of
the constitutional convention in ad-
journing until August 6 the day
prior to the election on the consti-
tution the fact was overlooked that
the issuance of the election procla-
mation whkh muot be out by May
12 would prevent any reconvening of
of the delegates after that date. The
plan of the delegates was to adjourn
until August.1) but giving to Pres-
ident Murray the power to reconvene
them in the meantime in case he
i should deenvit wise. Governor Franz
I has as yet not given any opinion re-
i garding what he will do in regard to
issuance of the proclamation. Only
a few of the delegates are still in
I Guthrie. Delegate Williams of Buff-
I alo is still here as is als President
i Murray but he will leave tonight for
I his home in Tishomingo taking with
him the seven complete official copies
j of the constitution as signed by the
J 8G democratic delegate. This inclad-
! es the entrrossed sheepskin copy ne
! will lo-.n tVium in TkVmminfrrt until
j afte statehood. !
I The engrossed copy of the election !
) ordinance is nerhans the most unique:
I tMm of the Irnd ever adopted. Each !
j delegate engross?! bis own county'
showing the municipal township and '
county commissioner districts. Some
nf the delegates wrote the description
out in Inng hand; ran them off them-j
elves on tyoewnters; some employ-
a cpTjnrfpnhei" find sww sn ex-1
pert long-hand man. The only re-
is I miirement was that all delegates
1 j should ise the fame kind of paper.
'A TUra Jo caitio fenr omrpsspd that!
the anti-county division forces will
take advantage of the charge made
that no quorum was present for sev-
eral days during the winding-up of
the convention in order to again at-
tack the conveation's work in the
courts.
List of Subscribers for the New Surrey
-Total Has Reached $1200
More is Required.
Dick McKay and B. B. Bridges
who compose the committee that is
raising the subscription for a new
railroad survey report about $1200
subscribed. The amount required is
$2000 and it must be raised at once
as it is imperative that the survey
be begun immediately if Chickasha
is to take advantage of the opportuni-
ty to get another important line of
railway.
"While most of the people give lib-
erally" said Mr. McKay "occasional-
ly we strike a fellow who is willing
to let his neighbors do the paying
to enhance the value of his property
and reap the benefits for nothing. I
can't understand thid class of people.
Many of the small subscriptions rep-
resent just as much liberality as the
large ones. We want every body to
help on this proposition according to
his ability."

scriptions to date:

LEW SEES THE SIiO7
Company Played to Capacity at Opera
House Last Night
The good weather of yesterday
brought out one of the largest crowds
of the season to see "A Domestic
Blizzard" at the opera house last
night. There was not a vacant seat
in the house and the audience thor-
oughly enjoyed the play. The special
ties had to be repeated several times.
The play itself is a good side split-
ter and one of the most ridiculous
things. you ever saw and every mem
ber of the company is rigl.t-up-to-now
in their parts. Mr. Virden who is
not in the cast had the privilege last
night of having a reserved seat and
watched the play interestedly laugh-
ing with the rest. He says it is a
rare treat to sit in front and see a
play. Tomorrow night the bill will
be "Old Dad Hewins" a comedy
drama of four acts.

Is Predicted by Secretary of Miller's
Association.
Oklahoma City April 24 In his
seventh bulletin on the crop situation
in Oklahoma City C. V. Topping
eecretary of the Oklahoma Millers
association said last night:
"We have had another week of un-
iavoraDie weather tor the gro ving
wheat crop. The weather has been
lavorable weather lor the growing
wheat crop. The weather has been
cold and dry up to the last of the
week. On Friday there was snow in
the southwestern section and slight
rains in the south but no moisture
in the northern part of the territory
until yesterday and today. Good
rains fell last night all over southern
Oklahoma and extended clear to tlie
Kansas line and it has been raining
all day so that tip to this evening
there is plenty of moisture all over
the entire territory.
"The reports we have received dur-
ing the past weoiv have been very
discouraging and our estimate of the
damage to the wheat crop of Okla-
homa will be 50 per cent; the oat
crop fully 75 per cent if not a total
failure.
"In the extreme western part of
the territory wheat and oats are in
very fair conditon . but the acreage
in that section is very small.
"The encouraging side of the
situation however is that the green
hugs have practcally ceased working
over the ent'.-e territory and we feel
that with warm growing weather
and these good rains we will see a
marked change for the better in the
situation and with no further damage
we can safely say that we will har-
vest a good half crop of wheat in
Oklahoma."
