H. H. Townsend bovs' department
secretary of the y. M. C. A. which
was completed yesterday the asso-
ciation tins easily established Its rep
utation of being the most populur
pluee In Tulsa for youngsters.
About tho first of the month a com
plete assortment of game tables of
latest vurlotleg was aaaea to tno ri-
rtactlons und they have been rushed
Mnc e the first day. It is now necessary
to keep one man in constant attend-
ance ut the desk where supplies for
the games ore given out.
The cue rogue tables two of them
have been the most popular and two
more could have been used. A total
of 3756 boys patronized these tables
during the month. Although the new
baseball boards were not introduced
until the middle of tho month 684
bovs already have demanded them.
Three hundred played chess and
checkers in tho boys' department
alone and 120 took out the croklnole
boards. The shuffle board one of the
most expensive apparatus. Is the least
popular with only one. hundred pat
rons.
Tho boy's department lias now
reached 604 paid members and Is
growing; dully. At the first of the
month five hundred was set as tha
mark to work for by spring; hut the

This was one of the most daring
and thoroughly planned robberies
In this section of the country already
notorious for such deeds. Tho rob-
bers had cut all wires leading from
tho town. Secured some tools from

In forcing entrance. The entire town
was aroused by the first explosion hut
the residents were all too terrified to

gathered up currency and gold esti-
mated at from $5000 to $15000. They
immediately made their way to tho

seen to run out a handcur and start

I. V. McOee cashier of the bank
who was first to reach tho Institu-

was opened at the usual hour this
morning and although the loss of
such un amount of cash necessarily
affected the bank Mr. McCleo said
that they had sufficient cash on hand

will devote a portion of each day next
week to the education ot children on
simple remedies for tho great Infant
n ortullty rate.
The Sunday schools hnvo made no
announcements on the subject but it
is hardly probable that they will let
such an opportunity pnsa without
some observance.
Monduy will start tno activities of
tho city schools and also ihn lecture of
Albert 12. Wlggam at convention hall
on tho subject "From tho Crudio to

hold Independent programs but havo
not announced their dates yet.
JXIciitlon Home Meeting.
The Ictentlon home board will give
a meeting at some time next week it
having been originally planned for
Thursday. It Is probable that it will
be postponed or set at an curlier date
so us not to conflict with tho affair
of the lny Nursery. Tho board in-
nonnced thut It would ho glad to help
In any way and doubtless would co-
operate In tho generul observance by

Many Humors.
WASHINGTON March 4. The
house again today postponed
action on proposals to warn American
citizens not to travel on armed mer-
chant sliliis defeat of which has been
requested by President Wilson to
strengthen his hands In the negotia-
tions with Germany. It was decided
that not before Tuesday would a vote
lie taken and u Vearying day of con-
ferences und maneuvering engen-
dered more doubt than ever as to Just
what form the house action wneii
the time tiiiully came would take.
Supporters of the president In his
stand for the rights of Americans to
safiJy aboard merchantmen bearing
urinumcitt reiterated tonight that
there was no uncertainty that tho
house sooner or later would follow
the lead of the senato In killing tho
warning proposals.
The problem of framing a parlia-
mentary plan however which will
have tho necessary committee sanc-
tion and which will be assured of ac-
ceptance by the house Itself re.
maiiied unsolved.
Some representatives professed to
see In the nrrlval In the rnpltnl of
William Jeniiffigs Bryan who filled
a speaking er.asgenient here tonight
a development which might further
complicate the situation confronting
the president's supporters In tho
house. 'Mr. Hryan conferred during
the orternoon with many of his
frlend.H Including some members of
congress and discussed tho move-
ment for a congressional warning
which he Is known to favor. Ho de-
nied however as did thoso with
whom he talked that ho was on the
ground to help organize opposition to
the president's desires.
Itensons for Delay.
Houso leaders advanced many rea
sons in support of their decision
against a vote today or Monday on
the recommendation of the foreign af-
fairs committee that the McLemore
warning resolution bo tabled. Prom-
inent umong them was the failure of
the rules committee to agree alter u
long session on what sort of rule
should be brought In to govern de
bute. Actig hairinun t'ou und Uop-
resentative Garrett of tho committee

discuss that feature with president
Wilson.
other reasons contributing to llie
delay were:
Insistence of some Democrats in-
lulling Democratic Leader Kitclun
that Instead of voting on the foreign
affairs committee recommendation to
table Representative .McliCinorc's res-
olution there be a substitute requiring
a straight oto on a warning resolu-
tion. Absence of many Democratic mem-
bers from Washington on week-end
trips.
I'nwllllngness by Speaker Clark to
entertain a tabling motion on Monday
which Is unanimous consent day.
Pleas of Indiana Democrats that no
vote bo taken before the Indiana
prlmuries are held next Tuesday.
The desire of many memliers for
the longest possible delay In the hope
that they never wll lhave to go on

Doubt ns to the temper of Itcpuh-
lieun members.

ANOTHER HARRIS CAMPAIGN LIE
Some of the henchmen of Jim Harris are circulating the report through-
out this part of the stato that Eugene Tyirton the editoi of The World called
Mr. Hurrls on tho telephone about the time he started h's campaign to re-
elect himself Republican national committeemen and offered him the sup-
port of Tho World If ho would permit Kugenn Lorton to name the I'nlted
States attorney and marshal for tho district of eastern Oklahoma. The
whole story Is a pure fabrication. Kugene Torton has had no telephone
communication with Jim Hurrls for nearly four years. Ho has never had a
personal conversation with him during this time except to pass the time of
day at tho Muskogee convention on February 12 Inst. No one representing
Mr. Lorton or The World has had any communelatlon conversation or dis-
cussion with Mr Harris over the question of federal appointments. Mr.
Lorton Is not an applicant for nor would he accept any federal appointment.
In the state of Oklahoma. He hu no desire to be consulted personally about
who fills these position no matter who Is elected nntlonal committeeman.
All he ha ever had to say or ever will soy upon these mutters will he through
the column of The World. He Is opposed to Jim llarils because Harris haa
no othor Interest In Itopublleun affairs In Oklahoma except te pircel out
the patronage
Tha editor of The World contends that Mr tfarilr' Inability to see any-
thing In maintaining a Republican organisation In Oklahomu except to ap-
portion the federal patronage absolutely unfits him to leud the party and the
same objection lies against any other man who can see nothing In the posh Ion

NEW VOItK. March 4. Fnited
States District Attorney It.
Snowden Marshall made public hero
today a letter which ho sent to t'ls
congressional committee which has
been here investigating his official
conduct occuslpg the committee of
acting n had faith and of attempting
by slander ami Intimidation to prevent
the prosecution of Congressman
Flunk liiichaiian.
The letter was uddresscd to Con-
gressman Charles C Ciirlin chairman
The other two members of the com-
mittee are Congressman Warren (lard
of Ohio and Congressman Joint M.
Nelson of Wisconsin.
Mr. Marshall's letter was the seiiial
of the arrest yesterday by the order
of the committee of L. It. Holme a
repjorter for ihe New York Times 'or
alleged contempt in refusing to tell
the source of iiiiormalion on which .in
uccount of the committee's proceed-
ings was based lie was later released
alter the I'nlted States marshal had
refused to take him In custody.
Attempt to Intimidate.
The account in quest Ion said It was
the belief of the district attorney's of-
fice that the investigation had been
started to prevent the prosecution us
pro-German offenders ugainst Amer-
ican neutrality.
In bis letter Mr. Marshall took full
responsibility for the Times article.
Describing an Interview which he hail
given to Mr Holme he said:
"I said that your expedition to this
town was not an Investigation con-
ducted in good faith but was a de-
liberate effort to intimidate any dis-
trict attorney who had Ihe temerity
to present charges against ono of
your honorable body."
The letter then asserted that the
committee "had invited every rogue
you could lay your hands upon to
come before you and blackguard and
slander me and niy assistants." It
continues. "I told blm that I did not
share the views which seemed to pre-
vail In your subcommittee; I Hald that
I regarded a member of congress who
would take money for an unlawful
purpose from any foreign ugent us a
traitor."
The letter was delivered to Con-
gressman Purlin Just prior to the de-
parture of tho committee for Wash-
ington where the investigation will
be rr sumed next week.

expected tomorrow night when all
voters In sympathy with the Republi-
can ticket in the coming city cam-
paign will assemble at the district
courtroom at 7 : :t 0 o'clock to discuss
probable candidates for city offices.
A committee appointed by the cen-
tral committee ;i few nights ago has
been consulting various prominent
men with a view to having them an-
nounce their candidacy has been
meeting with splendid success.
The names of a number of prospec-
tive candidates probably will be an-
nounced ut tomorrow night's meeting
and a generul discussion of men ami
issues will ensue for the purpose of
securing un expression of sentiment
from the voters representing aiious
parts of the city.
l;i(s t Itig Crowd
From the talk that is heard about
town it is evident that the district
courtroom will be hardly large
enough to accommodate the crowil
that will be on hand but extra chairs
will be placed in the courtroom and
there will be accommodations for
nearly one thousand persons. Those
who expect seats however should be
on hand early as the chairman an-
nounced his Intention of calling tho
meeting to order promptly at 7:30
o'clock.
It Is tho Intention of the Republi-
cans to hove nil their candidates file
with the election board not later than
next Friday night. They stato that
to file Saturday would be leaving an
opening for a contest In the event of
their election and to be on the safo
side It will be best to file not later
thnn Friday.
No prospects of the Democrats se-
curing a ticket ure In sight yet aod
no meeting has been called by that
party to consider candidates.
The Itepuhllcans however believe
In getting out a ticket and then
starting tho most aggressive and business-like
campaign ever witnessed In
Tulsa.

Jlr. Harris und your otluirs uppurenl.ly
ure tailing to observe either Inten-

The people of Tulm city and of
Tulsa county resent your arrogant
boast that this city and county urn
hound and gagged reudy for delivery
to the Harris machine. If votir Har-
ris coterie Is so confident that it has
the voters of Tulsa city and county In
absolute control and submission under
the impudent domination of the Hnr

no one hero dares to raise his voice
in protest against Harris' means and
met hods then why. It you please. Mr.
Lntla are you .Mr. Harris und your
others sending your emissaries by th
"cue within the boundaries of this

the voters to perpetuate the tenure of
.Mr. Harris ;n the olfice which if
John i'lelds and oilier real and true
Republicans and leaders of the party
i an be believed und they can he.
Harris has so wiil'ully misused lor his
personal ambition and in which office
he has so signally failed as any sort
of a lender so fur a:i the advancing of
I lie Interests of the Republican party
is concerned? You of course are weil
uwure ol the many agmts of the Har-

gates. You cannot mention one rea-
son why this county should Ivu In
.Mr. Harris u single vote You know
thut .Mr. Harris ins never "ume inM
Tulsa county to assist in any political
fight on behalf of the Republican
party and he has never lent his In-
fluence either pi r.soiiully or- offi-
cially to assist the Republicans of
this county in any campaign. Ho
knows comparatively .speaking but
few people within the boundaries of
Oils county. It seems that he has no
interest in tin: Republican parjy of
Tulsu county or for the people of this
county except fit a time when he de-
sires to siitisly some persona! anibi-
Hi.n or seeks a tavor at the hands of

l'erhaps. at least we most confU
dently believe! and sincerely hope
when the votes ure counted your
insolent affront to the voters of this
county that ll is ready to be deliv-
ered to tile Harris machine will re-
ceive inch a stinging rebuke by un
overwhelming majority for James J.
McGniw that you will be effectually
awakened to the fact that your
claim of ownership of the Tulsu
Voters was but a conceited and pre-
sumptuous though misjudged esti-
mation of the power of the Harris
