^resident Discover* He Ha* the
Power to Act—Extra Se*«i*n
of Congress Called
For April 16.
Washington. — President Wtlson
from a sick bed ordered the arming
of American merchant ships against
Germany's ruthless submarine war-
fare, and at the same time issued a
proclamation calling an extra session
of congress to meet April 16.
The president’s decision came sud-
denly following the action of the
senate in revising its rules to permit
prompt action on important questions
and the submission of formal opin-
ions by Secretary Lansing and At-
torney General Gsegory that he has
the power to arm merchantmen with-
out action by congress.
Fraught with the grave possibility
of war with Germany, the action was
taken by President Wilson only after
he was convinced that Germany ac-
tually is proceeding with her cam-
paign of ruthlessness and has made
efforts to plot with Mexico and Japan
on the territorial integrity of the
United States.
Long before the order was given
from the White House all necessary
preparations for the arming of mer-
cbantmVnt had been completed at the
naTy department. Secretary Daniels
issued an appeal to the press of the
nation to refrain from discussing the
preparations.
In deciding that he has power to
arm merchantment. the president took
the position that an old statute pass-
ed In 1819, cited in the senate debate
prohibiting such a step without con-
gress' action, has no application to
the present situation. He Is sure the
nation stands by him, Judging by the
overwhelming vote in the house on the
armed neutrality bill and the known
opinion of a large majority of the sen-
ate as proof of the attitude of con-
gress.
Sufficient Money Available.
Although the bill which failed of
passage in the senate provided for a
bond issue of $100,000,000 to pay the
expenses of armed neutrality, the
government has sufficient money
available for its immediate purpose.
Congress will be asked to provide
more when the extra session convene.s
Under a bill passed during the last
days of the last congress, the funds
at the disposal of the federal war
risk bureau to insure American ships
was Increased to *15,000,000.
! Armed neutrality is expected to re
iqove the practical blockadq o
American port§ plaC® i8-?ue
%t eventual war squarely on Ger
many. An attack upon an armed
American ship will precipitate a fight
If the sW gets sight of the subma-
rine and an unwarned attack would
be regarded by the United States as
an act of war.
Germany’s exact policy toward
American vessels sailing through the
war zone since its proclamation Feb-
ruary 1 has not been quite clear,
owing to the fact that less than a
dozen such voyages have been made
»nd it is possible that all the vessels
that escaped succeeded in avoiding
the submarines entirely. It has been
‘ suggested that Germany probably is-
sued Instructions to her commanders
not to sink American ships without
every precaution for those on board,
as a last hope of keeping America out
of the war. The ruthless destruction
of passenger liners like the California
and the Laconia, however, is felt here
to render this belief improbable.
[ Other Neutrals Watched.
The effect of America’s action upon
other neutral nations will be awaited '
with keen interest. Vessels of those
countries, too, have been holding to
port through terror of
Oklahoma City.—With party lines
eliminated, so far as democrats were
concerned, the house of represea.a
lives voted to submit to the voters ot
the state the question of woman suf-
frage without the literacy test or the
grandfather clause attached.
The literacy test feature, the bone
of contention and disagreeemnt in
democratic caucuses and councils
since the women enfranchised states
of the west re-elected President Wil-
son last fall, was stricken from the
amendment, following two hours ot
debate, the lengthiest discussion that
has attended consideration of any
measure in the present session.
Democrats split on the "grandfather
clause’’ feature, also on the straight
suffrage issue, while republicans uni-
formly opposed the l ie racy test.
London—General Frederick Stan-
le ■ Maude, in command of the entente
forces in Mesopotamia, telegraphed
-- the news of the occupation of Bag-
CITY OF NEWCASTLE6ADLY *££
the empire of the caliphs.
1 No details of the capture have yet
been received. General Maude s story
of the operations carrying events
only up to when the British, after
effecting a surprise crossing of the
Diala and bridging the Tigris, had
driven the Turks back to within three
miles of Bagdad. It is evident, how-
ever. that the Turks have been un-
eble to offer any serious resistance
~;nce the fall of Kut-El-Amara.
They were said to be hurriedly
summoning reinforcements from other
theaters of the war where Turks
were engaged, but the distance to oe
covered were so great that the addi-
tional forces were unable to arrive
in time to save the ancient city
which, after Mecca, occupies first
place in the Mohammedan minds.

Washington. — Preliminary steps
rere taken by the navy department to-
ward contracting for quick construc-
tion of 100 or more high speed coast
patrol boats of a new type for scout-
ing against submarines. At a confer-
ence in which a score of builders were
represented, "assurances were given
that deliveries could be begun within
four months.
Plans for the patrol boats call for
craft 110 feet long, propelled by pow-
erful steam engines. Details of their
armament and equipment are now be-^
ing worked out, but probably will not
be made public. They will be more
seaworthy and have a much larger
cruising radius than the standard sub-
marine chaser," an 58-foot gasoline
motor boat.
Diplomats Are Notified.
The government has taken the only
formal step that will precede the sail
ing for the war zone of American mer-
chant ships to resist attacks by Ger-
man submarines. Notice to the world
of the intention to place an armed
guard on merchantmen was sent by
the state department to all embassies
and legations in Washington.
Officials continues to be reticent
about the arming of ships and the
date the first would be ready to sail.
All such details are regarded aa mili-
tary secrets. In fact, there is a gen-
eral disposition to avoid discussing
any phase of the situation pending
the outcome of the defiance of the
submarine menace by American ves-
sels with naval guns and gunners on
board,
100
homes were leveled and many dam-
aged. For several hours the city was
entirely cut off from communication.
Confusion and disorder followed in
the path of the storm. Those who
escaped injury and death ran wildly
about the streets. Men finally settled
down and began the work of rescue,
digging in the ruins of their homes
for missing members of t%eir fam-
ilies.
The storm came from the west
striking the city in the northwestern
section and traveled in a southeast-
erly direction, missing the business
section of the town. In South Sixtieth

one of the main residence streets of
the city, nearly every house was

the submarine war, is beginning to

tions of the Dardanelles report.

Washington.—Lacking legal author
ity to establish general censorship,
the administration appealed to the
patriotism of the country's news-
papers and cable companies to sup-
press publication and transmission of
information about the movements of
American merchant craft now to be
armed against German submarines.
"The best news that readers can
have." Secretary Daniels said, in a
formal statement to press represent
atives, “is that the government will
protect the rignts of Americans to the
freedom of the seas. The publication
of details can serve no good purpose
ant} might jeopardize human life.”
Mr. Daniels has determined not to
reveal any of the department's plans
for carrying out the policy ordered
by President Wilson. He previously
has stated, however, that the navy is
prepared with guns, ammunition, gun
crews and all other necessary equip-
ment or personnel to carry out the
instructions.

forces, the loss of Bagdad is a grave
blow to them. Bagdad has been the
base for all Turkish operations in
Persia. Up to within a few days the
Turks occupied about 30,000 square
miles of Persian territory, but with
the Russians pressing them closely
from Kirmanzhah, as well as from
the direction of Erzerum, indications
point to a speedy junction of the Brit-
ish and Russian forces which would
soon compel Turkish evacuation of
Persian territory.

in the background will be the entire
resources of the United States—ready
for action should Germany attack an
Americam armed ship in violation of
the warning of the American govern-
ment.
The state department’s view of de-
fensive armament, as expressed last
week, was that the mere appearance
of a German submarine or it« peri-
scope near an American armed ves-
sel would entitle the vessel to take
ail measures of protection on the pre-
sumption that the U-boat’s purpose
eras hostile. •
End of Lloyd George Poison Case.
Ixmdon.—Mrs. Alice Wheeldon. her
daughter. Mrs Winifred Mason, and
the latter’s husband, Alfred t^eerge
Mason, were found guilty of con-
spiracy to murder Premier Lloyd
George and Arthur Henderson, mem-
ber of the war council. Miss Harriet
Ann Wheeldon. another daughter of
Mrs. Wheeldon, who also was tried on
the same charge, was acquitted. Mrs

bank messenger was held, up shot j
and robbed of a satchel containing J
*1,500 in cash and *9,500 in checks ,
The highwayman was captured. He

years old.
Who Controls Congress?
Washington.—Optimistic forecasts
of the control of the next house came
from democratic and republican lead-
ers when they heard of the president s
call for an extra session of congress
April 16. Many unbiased observers,
however, foresee only a long and bit-
ter organization fight unless a coali-
tion agreement prevents.
Both Speaker Clark and Represent-
ative Woods of Iowa, chairman of the
republican congressional committee,
predicted victory Tor their respective
parties. Each said his party is as-
sured of at least 218 votes and that
this probably would be its minimun
strength.
The official standing of the incom
ing house is as follows:
Republicans. 215.
Democrats, 214.
Prohibitionist, 1.
Progressive, 1.
Progressive-protectionist, 1.
Socialist. 1.
Independent, 1.
Vacant. 1.
The vacancy exists in the Fifteenth
New York district, which is over-
whelmingly democratic. Under the
New York law this vacancy can be
filled before the extra session begins
if a special election is called before
next Friday. It would make virtually
, certain a tie at 215 between the dem-
ocratic and republican membership
on the opening day of the session.
Despite the growing talk of coali-
tion the five independents insist they
will not acquiesce quietly to wishes
of big party leaders.

name they desired. General Carranza

“Divine Healer” Convicted.
Los Angeles. Cal—“King" Francis
Schlatter, seif-styled divine healer,
was found guilty in the United States
district court on a charge of using
the mails to defraud.
Washington—Complete plans of the
four railroad brotherhoods for a
nation-wide strike to be inaugurated
Saturday evening unless the railroads
grant theif eight-hour-day demands
were ratified here by local union lead-
ers from southeastern territory, and
by a similar conference of represen-
tatives of the southwest held at St.
Louis.
The brotherhood heads will tell the
railroad conference committee in New
York that if an agreement is not re-
ported this week the establishment
of an eight-hour basic day. with time
and a half for overtime, strike orders
already issued to local organizations
will become effective.
Demands Same As#flade Last Fall.
The demands are just what they
were last fall, when President Wilson
averted a strike after the call was out,
by inducing congress to pass the
Adamson law, which never has been
put into effect, pending a decision on
its constitutionality by the supreme
court.
There is every indication that the
president is prepared to move again
if it becomes apparent that the na-
tion, is facing the greatest interna-
tional crisis of its history, is about
to have its transportation facilities
paralyzed. Although still confined to
his bed by a cold, the president heard
reports during the day from Secretary
Wilson on the plans of the brother-
hoods.
There was no statement as to what
action he is contemplating, but it is
understood to be probable that his
first step may be an appeal to the
employers and employees to reach an
agreement as a patriotic duty.
Complete Tie-Up By Wednesday.
The southeastern union officials
were toid bv the brotherhood chiefs
that the strike orders had been ar-
ranged so as to have the walkout be-
gin on a certain group of roads at 7
p. m. (eastern time) Saturday and
gradually extend to all roads in the
country by next Wednesday.
Each twenty-four hours until Wed-
nesday a new group would be affected.
This progressive system, the union
men say, was adopted to avoid par-
alyzing traffic suddenly throughout the
entire country.
Strike Order leaued.
Pittsburgh.—Members of the rail-
road brotherhoods in the Pittsburgh
district received the formal order to
strike Sunday "unless otherwise noti-
fied.”
The first paragraph directs that “No
man in road service involved in the
strike will perform any service after
the hour set to strike unless he has
already begun a trip and actually left
the terminal. If the train has left the
terminal he will complete the trip
and deliver the engine and train at
the end of the run or tie-up point, if
tied up under the law, after which he
will perform no further service until
the close of the strike. Men in other
than road service will leave the serv-
ice at the appointed time. So far as
your legal right to strike is con-
cerned, there is no difference between
a mail train and a freight train. 'You
have identically the same right to re-
fuse to perform service on a mail train
as you have to refuse to perform serv-
ice on a freight train ”
No Acts of Violence To Be Tolerated.
All men on strike are ordered in the
circular to keep away from railroad
property "except such men as are
designated certain duties to be per-
formed by authority of the organiza-
tions. Every man should understand
that the laws of the land must be
obeyed. Acts of vio’ence of any na-
ture will not be tolerated.”
Other sections deal with the man-
ner in which the meetings of the strik-
ers shal be conducted.
Big Four Announces Embargo.
Indianapolis—The Big Pour railroad
announced that ofi “acount of certain
threatening strike conditions,” the Big
Four railroad would not accept ship-
ments of livestock and perishable
freight after Thursday midnight, un-
less it cou'd be delivered to destina-
tions on Big Four lines before Satur-
day noon. Other classes of freight,
the announcement says, will not be
accepted after Wednesday midnight
unless the shipper signs a waiver re
leasing the railway company from any
damages that might be caused by the
delay.
Automobile Taga Turned Back.
Poor workmanship on the first 7,000
automobile tags made at the state
prison, and their consequent rejec-
tion by the state highway department,
has caused delay in supplying tags to
all who paid their license fees during
January.
Appioximately 22,000 licenses for
1917 have been issued. It is esti-
mated that a total of 70,000 motor
vehicles, including tractors and motor-
cycles. will be registered in this state.
The payment of fees has been delayed,
but the number is increasing each
day. Thus far, Texas and Beaver
counties, located farthest fiom the
capital, have registered more motor*
than any other two counties.
George B. Noble, state highway com-
missioner stated that every second-
hand and used car must be equipped
with a 1917 tag. Every such motor
purchased should have this year s tag
furnished by the seller unless it is
part of the bargain that the purchaser
should pay for it.
That some dealers are creating th®
impression that the dealer's tag may
be used for fifteen days while applica-
tion for a license is being put through,
is wrong, Mr. Noble said. Any motor
vehicle to be operated on the street*
or highways must have an individual
tag.
Oklahoma Bone-Dry FlraL
Oklahoma will become “bone dry
fifteen days ahead of any state in th®
union affected by the national "bon®
dry” law, which becomes operativ®
July L w
The so-called Ferguson “bone dry
measure, a product o| the present leg-
islature, will become effective ninety
days after adjournment of the session,
which will be June 15, provided th®
legislature adjourns March 15.
The Ferguson law prohibits the re-
ceiving from common or other carrier®
of liquor, the sale of which is barred
in the state, and the federal law pro-
hibits carriers from bringing It Into
the state.
Prohibitionists contend the opera-
tion of the two laws will make Okla-
homa a model “dry” state after July
1. In the meantime those not inclined
toward "dry bone” litigation are tak-
ing advantage of the “open season”
to lay in their supply, for there i®
every indication it will be a long tim®
between drinks in Oklahoma after thd
two laws become effective.
Employment Has Record Business.
J. W. Walden, superintendent of th®
state free employment bureau predict-
ed 10,000 assignments to work In th®
state for 1917. His prediction i®
based on the increase of those as-
signed to positions In February thi®
year over those who received help
through the bureau in 1916. Out of
446 calls for help and 451 persons who
registered in the office In Oklahoma
City alone, 368 were assigned. An
tncrease of 120 per cent over the saro®
month of 1916. The per cent of In-
crease during January was 110 per-
cent. Complete reports have not been
received from Tulsa, but If the city
comes up te the usual standard It will
make a better showing than Oklahoma.

assigned to positions in January was

School Lands Profitable.
According to the monthly report just
issued by Secretary G. A. Smith of th®-
school land department, the collection
record for the month again passed
previous marks. As compared with
February of other years, the collec-
tions are as follows:
February, 1914........*166,727.83
February, 1915........ 202,248.27
February, 1916...*.... 295,683.31
February, 1917........ 409,394.01
Of the above collections for Febru-
ary of this year the lease division col-
lected *24,454.21, the sales division
*188,225.23, the loan division *195,-
172.97 and the home ownership divi-
sion *1,541.78.
The above figures in a measure in-
dicate the growth of the work in th®
school land department during th®
past four years.
New York To Vote On Suffrage.
Albany. N. Y.—The resolution to
provide for a referendum on the wom-
an suffrage que>tion at the state elec-
tion next November was passed in the
senate by a vote of 39 to 7. The ac-
of the state senate was the last
step in the legislative procedure pre-
liminary to referring the subject to
the electorate. The measure is con-
cerned with amending state legis-
lation and consequently does not have
to receive the aprpoval of the gover-
nor under the New York Law.
U-Boat Chaser* Planned.
Washington.—Plans for immediate
construction of a large number of
submarine chasers for use in coast
patrol work will be discussed with

ber, will depend on the builders.

Food Prices Broke All Previous Rec-
ords in 1916.
Washington —Retail food prices in
he United States advanced 19 per
cent in the year ending with January
15, as shown in statistics prepared by
the bureau of labor statistics. The
increase was greater than for the
three previous years combined. The
four years gain was 30 per cenL
Every food staple except coffee and
tea advanced during the year.
Wheat Damaged by Drouth.
Reports from the state board of ag-
riculture show that the growing con-
dition of wheat is 73 per cent, which
is 7 per cent lower than the January
figure. However, the condition is th®
same as at this time last year. No-
other damage than continued dry
weather has been reported relative to-
the wheat crop. In the northwestern
part of the state counties are suffer-
ing much from a lack of moisture.
Farmers of the state still have on
band from the 1916 crop 27 per cent
of the corn, 5 per cent wheat 18 per
cent oats, 19 per cent alfalfa, and 23
per cent hay, having consumed and
marketed during the past month a*
follows: 11 per cent corn, 2 per cent
wheat, 5 per cent oats, 10 per cent
alfalfa, and 12 per cent hay.
Premillnary estimates of the 1917
oats crop show a decrease in acreag®
to be planted of 9 per cent as com-
pared with last year’s acreage. This
decrease Is dtjp partly to the failure of
last year’* oat* crop.
Condition of the soil, regarding
moisture, is 69 per cent.
