BOARD TO SETTLE
RAILWAY DISPUTE
TULSA DAILY WORLD MONDAY AHUL 30 1917
Tulsa Traction Company's
Case Before Corporation
Commission Today
WOULD CROSS FRISCO LINE
Refusal of Right to Intersect
West Tulsa Tracks De-
.' lays Interurban.
Hearing on the application of the
Tulsa Traction company for the right
to cross the tracks of the Tulsa licit
railway In West Tulsa will bein at 9
o'clock this morning before the slate
corporation commission In Oklahoma
City. I. V. Crow president of the
traction company and nttorneys fur
both sides went to the capital yestor-
dny to present their claims.
If the Tulsa Traction company wins
Us suit the last obstacle to the com-
pletion of the Sapulpa interurban will
be removed. The company ia now
running cars across the West Tulsa
bridge and a few hundred yurds be-
yond where the lino halts owing to
the refusal of the belt railway to al-
low another line to cross a spur to the
; Constantino refinery. Kecently tho
railway built a switch at the point to
further block plans of the interurban
line.
Rivalry the Cause.
Rivalry between the two companies
is said to be responsible for the desire
of the belt line to shut out the inter-
urban. The belt railway is a sub-
sidiary pf the Frisco and was organ-
ized to handle the refinery products
from West Tulsa. In the Tulsa Trac-
tion company the i'risco recognizes a
ciimpetltor for the freight and passen-
ger business of Sapulpa and the oil
fields.
Blocking of the Interurban con-
struction has prevented the company
from extending its service to the new
I'risco yards in West Tulsa and from
there to Kd Fork. It Is the plan to
run cars. us far as the tracks are laid
pending.the time the entire interurban
line is completed. Hundreds of labor-
ing men and residents in West Tulsa
will be inconvenienced daily until the
difficulty between tho two roads is ad-
justed. ItliM-ks Extensions.
"The refusal of the Tulsa rielt to
permit us to cross their spur track to
the Constantin refinery Is the only
thing that blocks tho completion of
the interurban" said I. F. Trow before
leaving for Oklahoma City yesterday.
"Jf the corporation commission
grants our plea wo will have ears
running on hourly schedule between
Tulsa and Sapulpa by the middle of
. summer."
Construction work on the Interurb-
an has not been delayed by the cross-
ing controversy. Two crews of work
men are now laying track at I toil
Fork and trolley poles are being In
stalled ns rapidly as the line is fin-
ished. Other gangs will start within
a week from Sapulpa to build the in-
terurban toward Tulsa.
So I Said to
the Customer
"This is not the best suit in the
world but it is all wool of very
fine material and strictly hand-
tailored and is the best value
in America at $25."
"Look see this label of ours?
It is also our guarantee and
yours."
"When any suit ice sell fails to
give satisfaction we never fail
to give you exactly what you
paid for it."
Tulsa's Only One-Price Cash Clothiers
Gus Ivey Finishing History of the
Cherokees First of Kind Written
SCHEME TO ARM THE
MEXICANS HAS FAILED
Would Avoid Embargo by
Shipping via England and
Spain to Fool U. S.
(Correspondence of Thn Annnclated Promt.)
MADRID April 28. With the em-
bargo on the shipment of arms and
ammunition from the 1'nlted states
to .Mexico an Ingenious plan recently
lias been brought to lljfht for the
shipment of such munitions of war
from the I'nited States to Kurope
and their trans-shipment from Ku-
rope to Mexico. Hy this roundabout
route tbe arms could get to Mexico
without 'crossing the I'nited States-
Mexican bolder where they would
have been detained by American cus-
toms officers.
The plan has required a system ef
agents acting in Mexico tho United
states England and Spnln. tho route
designed for the shipments being
from the United States to England
from England to Spain and from
Spain by one of the steamer lines
operating to Central and South Amer-
ican porti'. to one of the Atlantic
potts of Mexico. Whether any ship-
ments via England and Spain actually
got thru is not known as the plan
disclosed and checked when tho
London link In the roundabout chain
got Into difficulties over the use of
code messages dealing with the ship-
ments. In the course of the Inquiry the at-
tention of tho liritish inllitnry cen-
Hors was attracted to several cable-
grams from Mexican military offi-
cials These did not appear on their
face to deal with orders for nrius
words being used to take the place of
arms and ammunitions. While tho
exact words of the code are not
known the messages from Mexico ran
something like this:
"Send two hundred cases apples
and five thousand rounds potatoes."
When the receiver of the dispatches
was interrogated by the authorities
he stated the shipments referred to
arms Intended to be brought from the
l:nited States to England then
shipped to Spain and thence to Mex-
ico. The transaction was stopped as
involving an irregular use of cods
messages. The question of the ship-
ments of arms did not arise ns ship-
ments tp Mexfco did not at the time
appear to have any bearing on the
European war. Incidentally however
It disclosed the roundabout route
from the United States to Mexico via
England and Spain but gave no indi-
cation as to how far tho route had
been put to use outside of the tnnsiic-
tlon stopped by suspicion of tho code
telegrams.

MUSKotiEE April 2!!. Augustus
E. Ivey the Cheroken Indian Journal
ist and lawyer of Tulsa with his fam-
ily has located in Muk"geu fur a
short time In order that he may go
thru tho records In the local offiees of
the I'lvo Civilized Tribes and secure
data for his history of the Cherokees
on which ho has been working for a
number of years.
The history will recount the early
strangles to a high civilization of the
Cherokees. their manners and cus
toms in their primitive stages and will
show that the Indians of the five
I tribes accomplished more in one cen-

"Ous" Ivey is a great believer In
Tulsa. lie says that for its ago and
population about 05000 it is the
greatest town on earth and that his
desire to have access to the Indian
records and archives here which are
stored away in the Federal building
in MusKogee is all that caused him
to locate temporarily In this city.
Muskogee however Is fast "coming
back" be asserts to her old place of
the "Queen City" "Magnificent Mus-
kogee" etc. a la C. II. Douglas.
Mr. Ivey's history is being written
nt the earnest solicitation of the In-
dians and others who have helped to
develop this country. Besides tho
biographies of great Indians who have
lived among these people for a cen-
tury back and up to now ho proposes
to give the biographies and auto-
biographies of the great broad-minded
men engaged in tho development
of the Mid-Continent oil field and in
doing so ho hopes to nssuage the prej-
udice in the minds of a great many
(common people tho honest people
jof this state occasioned by politicians
jin order that the oil men may only
I share their proper share of the burden
jof stale government. They should not
I be persecuted and extortioned ho
says because they help to make Ok-
latinnia "blossom as a rose" and add
millions to her wealth.
Jn getting up this great work Mr.
Ivey has tho assistance of many pio-
neers such ns William Eubanks the
sago of the Cherokees nation: Tate
Hnnly who Is full of history; Mabel
ashburne Anderson; Miss Alice Rob-
ertson learned In Indian-lore; Motcy
Tiner chief of the Creeks; W. C. Rog-
ers chief of the Cherokees; Victor M.
Locke chief of the Choctaws; Doug-
las II. Johnson chief of tho Chicka-
saws and John T. Hrown the famous
old governor of the Semlnoles besides
old missionary workers among the In-
dians and others.
Fitted for the Honor.
"Fifty years among the Five Civil-
ized Tribes" will be tho title of the
history. Tho selections of Ous Ivey
by the Indians to prepare this work is
a mark of confidence as ho has been
with them all his life is a Cherokee
by blood and was connected with the
press of Indian Territory for thirty
years and more all of which pecu-
liarly fits him as their historian.
Mr. Ivey intends to finish his task
this summer and have the books In
the hands of his friends by fall.
He gives especial credit to his old
full-blood triend Sequoyah Choonstoo-
Itee for assisting him In getting up the
j history. Tho latter Is tho greatest sage
I and philosopher among tho Indian
people. He knows something about
I everything and is one of tho brainiest
'and smartest men Ivey ever met.

REFUSES OVER $1 FOR CORN
Refused to Enrich Himself nt Expense
of XeinIiTsir.
OTTAl A Kan. April 29. Stories
of food and grain speculators who
have made fortunes by boosting prices
hold no charm for Sherman Smith a
well-known farmer living five miles
northwest of Ottawa.
Smith had more corn stored up In
his cribs during the winter than his
neighbors had. His neighbors ran
out and wondered how much Smith
would usk for a few loads.
"Yes I'll sell you some" Smith told
one neighbor.
"I'll give you $1.15 a bushel."
"No you won't."
"Whut will you take then?"
"You can have enough for your
present needs but not a cent more
than $1 a bushel" Smith told tho as-
tonish' buyer.
Another offered him f l.fiO a bushel
but Smith refused to sell for more
than tl. A third wanted to buy a
largo quantity for $1.50 a bushel but
Smith was obstinate.
"A dollar Is enough for It" he said
"besides I have a flock of chickens
that make pretty good money."
And ho exhibited a roll of bills
which he had received In payment for
a largo consignment of eggs.

Absolutely the Last Sets
(anywhere in the world of the Cambridge Univer-
sity Issue of the Encyclopaedia Britannica Printed
on India Paper are now being sold and within
the next six or seven days will all be gone.
No more can be printed; therefore not another set can be sold.
If you want one of these sets order it at once. Unless you order it now you cannot own tho
Britannica in this sumptuous large-paper large-type format at all.
IF YOU SHOULD DECIDE THAT YOU WANT TO OWN
A SET OF THIS GREAT WORK IN THE CAMBRIDGE UNI-
VERSITY ISSUE GO TO THE STORE NAMED BELOW EX-
AMINE THE DIFFERENT BINDINGS AND MAKE UP YOUR
MIND WHICH ONE YOU WANT.
(You can at the same time see the popular
low-priced Handy Volume Issue of the Britan-
nica. It is word for word and line for line the
same the only difference being that the page is
smaller and the type is smaller.)
"All Sold Not Another
Set Left"
will have to be our message to those who write
us about the Cambridge Issue after another six
or seven days.
If you cannot go to the store but KNOW that
you want the Cambridge University Issue of the
Britannica cut out and mail the attached order
form (see below).
"A Distinguished Book"
that exactly expresses the physical
tnakc-tip and appearance of the Cam-
bridge Issue. This is the authorized
ordinal copyright edition and hears
on the title paje the seal of the
University of Cambridge. It is one
of the finest examples of book-making
ever produced.
The leathers used for the bindings
Half Sue Jc Three-quarter Morocco Full Limp Suede and
Full Morocco are the very best of their kind. The
printing is of the highest grade. The type is large and
clear and is from a special font especially cast for the
Cambridge Issue of the Hritannica.
The pages measuring 11 x 8a inches allow of
ample margin and give generous space to the exquisite
printing of the fiOU beautiful color plates and full-page
illustrations. The full-page and double-page maps in
color are rendered particularly clear and easy to refer to.
Kvcrytliing in fact has been done to give the Dri-
tannica in this form as handsome a dress as the literary
contents deserve r'rom all sides we have received
most hearty praise for the Cambridge Issue as a finished
piece of book-making.
You Will Always Be Proud to Own the Great Storehouse
of the World's Knowledge in Such a Magnificent Form
The Britannica's acknowledged scholarship and its pre-eminence as the finest collection of exact knowledge
ever published warrant its publication in this handsome format so pleasing to the eye and so distinctive an ad-
dition to your library shelves.
But This is Positively the Last Opportunity You
Will Ever Have to Buy It This Is Our Final Notice
r' The popular Handy Volume Issue for the money it costs is just as good a purchase and you may prefer it
because it is smaller and "handier" but the Cambridge Issue altho it costs more than twice as much is worth the
additional outlay especially to those who appreciate and will only have THE 15I0ST of everything.
