THE FATAL
GASOLINE
CARRIES OFf ANOTHER VICTIM.

RIBLE DEATH AT ENID

Mrs. Havens was preparing to
get dinner and had turned on the
gasoline generator preparatory to
cooking some greens. Mrs. Wil-
liams a neighbor called and Mrs.
Havens stepped into the garden to
gather some greens for her. When
she returned some thirty minutes
later she found that the gasoline
had run all over the floor. She
wiped it tip with cloths and then
lit a match to start the stove. In
an instant the place was enveloped
in flames. Mrs. Havens' clothes
caught fire. Sht wrapped herself
in blankets and rolled over and over
on the floor in an endeavor to check
the flames but it only seemed to
add fell instead of serving to check
their progress. Neighbors respond-
ed to her outcries and the flames
were extinguish id but her clothing
had been burned off. An investig-
ation revealed terrible burns all
over the body .Physicians inform-
ed her that she could not live and
death clamed her three hours later.

NAN PATTERSON IS CONFIDENT
Of her Acquital-The Defense Cloaea
their Case
New Yoi k.May 2. Nan Patter
son probably will know her fate
within forty-eight hours. Today
there remained only the closing
scenes in the trial to be enacted.
That there would be no defence
already has beeu announced be-
fore the court reconvened today-
Her counsel were satisfied that
the state had failed signally in its
efforts to prove that the former
show girl murdered Caesar
Yo'ung.-her lover they said and
were content to stand or fall on
what evidence had been sub-
mitted. The defendant agreed
fully with her attorneys and
expressed the firmest faith that
her troubles were rapidly near-
ing an end.
"I feel that I have spent my
last Sunday in the Tombs" she
said today while making ready
to go to court."Tomorrow I will
go home.

All members of the K. O. T. M.

Target practice in. obviously a
subject upon which most nations
are silent as to details and there-
fore very little has been made pub-
lic concerning a most remarkabh
target practice held by order of
the French government off Tou-
lon. The tnrret of the battleship
Fuffren was subjected to the fir
of two shots from a 9.2' inch gun of
the Manama. A battleship in com-
mission fully manned and
equipped representing millions of
dollars was thus deliberately
made a target for another ship.
The idea was to ascertain what
would be the effect of impact of
shots upon the turret of a modern
battleship. The range was short
in order to minimize the possibil-
ity of not hitting the tnrret and
the turret was covered with addi-
tional plating so that there was no
risk of penetration. The report of
this test was not given outr-

IMPORTING
NON-UNIOr
MEN TO TAKE PLACE Of STRIKERS.
SPECIAL TRAIN BEARING
HUNDREDS ON THE WAY
TUMULTUOUS SCENES OCCUR
Colored Driver Fires a Shot and a
Riot Enauet
Chicago May 2. Wholesale
importation of non-union men from
St. Louis and the arrival of "strike
breaker" Farley from New York
gave a new turn. Immediately up
on his arrival Farley held a confer-
ence with representatives of the
employers. - Plan's for putting him
in full charge of all "strike-break
ers" are said to have been decided
upon. Farley managed the non-
union men in the New York Sub-
way strike. Nonunion men in
forces said to be almost unpreced
ented are on their way to Chicago.
It was reported that a special train
bearing 475 men left early today
and that another train with 500
men was being prepared. The
work of moblizing the men in St.
Louis was conducted in secrecy
Half of the men were takeu from
southern Illinois and Kentucky
Many of them are negroes. One
hundred strike bteakers employed
by the American Express Com
pany the Pacific Northern Pacific
and the National Companies went
on strike today to enforce a demand
of $5 a day for drivers and $4 a
day for conductors and helpers an
allowance of 50 cents for luncheon
and extra pay for overtime. The
increase was granted and the men
returned to work. Tumultuous
scenes were witnessed today at
Jackson boulevard and Franklin
near the headquarters of the Em
ployers' Teaming Company the
organization formed to supplant
the striking teamsters. John Wil
liams a colored driver was sitting
on one of the wagons of the Em-
ployers' company waiting for car
avans to be formed. A crowd of
several hundred persons had gath-
ered and were jeering Williams and
other nonunions. Suddenly a bot-
tle thrown from a window struck
Williams on the head. The negro
drew a revolver and fired toward
the window. The action of the
colored man angered the crowd and
a concerted rush was made towards
him. Williams jnmped from his
wagon and fled down the street.
The mob soon caught him and he
was being savagely beaten when
the police rescued him. Williams
was arrested. The wholesale gro-
cers and coffee tea and spice
houses were more or less conpletely
tied up today by the speading of
the teamsters' walkout.
Striks. ... Russia.
When strikes occur there is no
delay in dealing with them.
Troops are mobilized at once.
The printers in Moscow for exam-
ple struck last autumn. The
strikers marched in procession
along a few streets clamoring for
shorter hours. They complained
that they had been compelled to
work overtime and that no com-
pensation had been given for the
extra labor. Gen. Trcper chief of
police issued a notice that any
man refusing to return to work
would be excluded forever from
Moscow. This stopped the move-
ment. Such notices hare stopped
similar movements elsewhere.

The people of this city and per-
haps other cities ih Oklahoma are
getting into an unpatriotic habit.
Outside traveling solicitors come
here and go from house to housesell-
ing underwear lace curtains t'nd
soap and other things which are kept
by the merchants of the city. Many
people are caught by these sleek-ton-gued
peddlers. These men evade the
penalties of peddlers by selling the
goods and deliveringtheni later.thus
putting them in the position of
traveling salesman for wholesale
houses.
As a matter of fact they are
worse than peddlers for the ped-
dler delivers the goods he sells
you and you know what you are
getting. The others violate the
law indirectly and have excell-
ent opportunity for "doing you
up" in any way they desire in
the delivery of the goods.
The women of the town owe
their husbands and the business
interests a duty.and that is to
kick every one of these men off
the p.'rch as soon as he rings
the door bell. '
These outsiders pay no taxes.
They make no donation to public
or charitable enterprises. They
are only leeches on the com- .
munity giving nothing except
the bare goods in return and
these goods can be had at any
mercantile store of equal quality
and as low prices.
The average citizen should have
patriotism He should purchase
of those who assist him to make
a living. Foolish indeed is a man
or woman who will be caught by
j Jie wily solicitor and thus deprive
the merchant which pays taxes
and helps to make the city what
it is of business they havea right
to expect.
We hope the people of Chick-
asha will emphasize the spirit of
patrioiain. They need a little
agitation' along this line. Buy
nothing away from home which
can be had at home. If the
average merchant does not keep
what you want he will send for
it for you. Then what profit there
is wiM go to the home merchants;
and tut; people who live here de-
pends the future of this city
bank has been the sal
