I Three wrecks in two days is the
record that has been hung up by tho
Tulsa division of the Mld'anil Valley
iiilroad. as a result of two minor de
milmeiits yesterday which demoral
ized both passenger and freight traffic
through Tulsa.
The first one yesterday happened
nbc ut thirty miles north of this city.
The aouthbound passenger train
Which is due in Tulsa at 8:20 o'clock
In the morning was stalled by the en-
rine leaving the track and ploughing
up several feet of ties. No one was
Injured and little damage other than
tho track wreckage wxs done.
' A wrecking crew was Immediately
ll-cnt to the scene and after an hour
!&nd a halfs work the track waa
opened. The delay was three and a
I half hours.
The officials had barely taken a
' quiet breath when reports were re-
ceived that two freight ears had left
' the tracks near the same place at
2-15 o'clock In tho afternoon. The
freight was loaded with valuable mer-
tlu.ndi.se and was from Pawhuska.

a passenger engine left the tracks six
miles south of Tulsa tying up traffic

prairie for six hours. The train was
from Muskogee.
I There was a persistent rumor about
local yards yesterday that the wreck-
ing train had during Its var'ous trips
left the tracks once hut this was de-

When asked yesterday of the cause
of tie accidents. Generil Kuperlnrrn-
dent Green who was in the city from
'Muskogee said that he was entirely in
tit c'ark as to their cause lie ex-
plained that It was merely one of
tlc.se unaccountable thins that come

imviewlnir the parly history the
htateinent said:
"In the 1914 and 1 91 C primaries
the Progressive voters of 1912 de-
liberately and In overwhelming num-
bers abandoned the Progressive party.
The refusal of tho Progressive national
committee to favor a third ticket can-
didacy did no more than to make final
the judgment entered by the Progres-
sive voters themselves. When the
Progressive convention had adjourned
and the entire situation was consid-
ered it was manifest that tho end
v. hich the voters had decreed had
come that the Progressive party was
dead."
OKLAHOMA C1TV Aug. 7. -The

of 1 S.4 ja auamst the literacy test. In
only four counties so far beard Horn
has there been a majority in favor
of the amendment. They are Musko-

ried out In the other counties and
this being true the measure will have
been defeated by not less than :t.-

submitted identically the same way

the other hand It is argued that the

that Oklahoma's constitution was
