BLOW AT THE PRESIDENT.
Action of the Packing Interests
Causes Suspicion.
FIGHT HAS BEEN PROMOTED
ecause Administration Has Punished Viola-
tors of Trust Laws.
Is the course of the packing inter-
ests in permitting a strike of their em-
ployees at this time a blow at the ad-
ministration?
This question was asked in Wash-
ington by an official who is fully con-
versant with all of the facts in connec-
tion with the Beef trust in the Fedeid
courts which resulted in the granting
of an injunction in May, 1902, by
Judge Grosscup in Chicago, restraining
the packers from practice which the
court held to be in violation of the
provisions of the Sherman anti-trust
law.
The beef interests appealed from
the decision of Judge Grosscup to the
United States supreme court, and this
appeal is now on the docket for hear-
ing at the next term of that court. Pres-
ident Roosevelt had intimated recently
that the Northern Securities prosecu-
tions would be followed by other pros-
ecutions againts corporations which are
believed to be violators of tne Sherman
law. And it is highly probable that
Mr. Roosevelt will direct the Depart-
ment of Justice to advance the appeal
of the packing interests on the docket,
which can be done under a law passed
at the last Congress, and in this way
get a decision from the supreme court
soon after it opens the October term.
Officials at the Department of Jus-
tice when asked if this would be done,
refused to make any statement and
officials at the bureau of corporations
were also reticent concerning the plans
of the government, but it is known
that some of those in the confidence of
the President have been aware that a
strike of the packing house employees
was threatened and that they frequent-
ly discussed such a strike with Mr.
Roosevelt before he left Washington
for Oyster Bay.
According to dispatches from Wash-
ington the packing interests sent rep-
resentatives to Washington recently to
urge Mr. Roosevelt not to force an
early decision from the supreme court
on the appeal and vwhen they found
hat he was determined to do this,
they are said to have threatened to
force a stiike of their employees, which
it was apparent might have a serious
effect upon the campaign this fell Mr.
Roosevelt ignored their threat and con-
Capital Stock 50.000 Surplus and Profits, 73.000
The First National Bank of Pauls Valley solicits
accounts large and small and with its Capital stock
of $50,000, and surplus funds of $73,000, offers
to the public every facility consistent with safe and
prudent banking..... ®§3) <5§3)
tinued his plans to bring about early
action on the appeal. According to
reports, if the President had agreed to
abandon his course and given the
packing interests assurances that the
Department of Justice would not press
the appeal, the packers would have
granted the concessions their employ-
ees demanded and there would have
been no strike.
WORK IS PROGRESSING.
WILL HAVE NEW SERVICE.
A. M. Prater, agent for Wells Fargo
Express Co., has received his new
wagon and will by the first of the week,
commence making deliveries of express
after each train. Heretofore Pauls
Valley has not received express on the
night trains, and the new service will
be of gTeat benefit to our merchants,
and in fact, every body.
DO YOU WANT A PIANO?
Work on the roads and bridges near
Pauls Valley is being pushed b^ Jesse
Reaves and his crowd of workmen.
The road leading to the north bridge
has been put in excellent shape.
Other bad places are being looked
after and in a very short time the
farmer will be able to come to Pauls
Valley from any direction and with any j
kind of a load.
DID NOT PLAY.
Col. Prater and his team of Invinci-
bles went down to Ardmore Satur-
day where they expected to play a
game of ball that afternoon with the
team of that place. Not arriving until
nearly six o'clock, the Ardmore
manager said they were too late and
declared the game off. Our boys say
they had at least two hours in which to
play the game but that several of Ard-
more's best players were drunk and
for that reason there was no game.
RECEIVES PLAUDITS.
The Pauls Valley band returned
Saturday night from Sulphur where
they played a three days engagement
for the Confederate Reunion held at
that place. At Sulphur, as well as
many other places, the boys have play-
ed this year, they received many com-
pliments. Our band is easily the best1
in Indian Territory at present.
We have in our charge £t present a
new Kimball piano that will be sold at
a bargain for cash or on time. Every-
body knows that the Kimball is a
standard piano and you can buy no
better. If you are in the market for
an instrument of this kind call on the
SENTINEL editor and learn of this bar-
gain. It will pay you.
GETTING ALONG NICELY.
The latest report from St. Louis in
regard to the condition of our fellow
townsman, C. J. Grant, is to the effect
that he is resting easily and improving
in health, though very slowly. It is to
be hoped that he may soon return
home, strong and healthy, for he, no
doubt has many years of use-fulness be-
fore him.
A FEW LOCAL NEWS ITEMS
ELMORE WILL ENTERTAIN.
R. C. Propes came up from Sulphur
Tuesday to visit his family. Mr.
Propes is in the livery business here
as well as Sulphur, and between the !
two he is a pretty busy man.
The SENTINEL printed posters
this week announcing a big picnic and
barbecue for August 2nd, at that place.
The Elmore people expect to do them-
selves proud on that date and are pro-
viding entertainment and eatables for
all who attend. A number from Pauls
Valley have already expressed their in-
tention of going. No arrangements
have yet been made but as the com-
mittee prefers the Pauls Valley band,
it is now supposed that the boys will
furnish music for the occasion.
