SERVANTS' QUARTERS
IS SCENE OF KILLING
Lee Chapman Negro Shot by
Rival in Rear of 1639
Carson Avenue.
Lee Chapman negro was shot and
killed last night at servant's quarters
in the rear of 1639 Carson avenue. The
slayer had disappeared by the time
Motorcycle Patrolman Crazy John
had reached the scene and had not
been apprehended at a late hour last
night by the police. They are hunt-
ing for Hob Mcintosh another negro
who is said to have done the shoot-
ing. Lena Brown and Lucile Hooks two
negro women who were in the ser-
vants' quarters at the time of the
killing were arrested by the officers
and are being held in the city Jail.
According to the police the Drown
woman stated that she was employed
as a domestic by the woman of the
house at 1639 Carson and was
permitted to live In the servant quar-
ters in the rear. Last night she ln-
vlfed her cousin Lucile Hooks to visit
her. The cousin In turn invited
Chapman. While the three of them
were In the quarters they say Mc-
intosh suddenly entered the door with
an automatic pistol and sticking the
muzzle up against Chapman's mouth
emptied it.
Watchmen who are employed by
the citizens to guard the residential
district heard the shooting ami called
the police but did not go to the scene
until Crazy John arrived by which
time the negro had disappeared. Ac-
cording to police the habit of the em-
ployers of negro servants in allowing
them to make a rendezvous of the
quarters has caused a number of
similar troubles recently which cul-
minated In the killing of Chapman
last night.

DECISION MOST MOMENTOUS
Scandanavian Iron Absolutely
Necessary for Kaiser to
Continue War.
WASHINGTON Sept 10. While
the American government awaited nu.
elopnu nt-s touay following Secretary
ijinsmg s disclosures renaming the
transmission of official German dis-
patches by the Swedish charge at
lluenos Aires ai.hliigton officials
and foreign diplomatists turned ihcirl
intention to a study of their possible I
significance Two facts were clear in I
the minds of mu st observers. Sweden
will be compelled t.) nii'ke definite
her position as a neutral and the In-
tention of the allis to see that Ger-
many shall cease receiving uid from
northern Kuropean neutral countries
Is Indicated more exactly.
Uncle Sinn VIo to Sweden.
Publication of the facts reveals to
the public that tins government is
fully cognizant of aid Sweden has
been rendering the central powers
and tends to cement opinion in sup-
port of absolute embargo put Int.) ef-
fect ugalnst Sweden along with tho
other neutrals six weeks ago. It has
been declared definitely that no mp-
plles will lie permitted to go to the
neutrals for at least six weeks to give
this government an opportunity to
establish precisely their tiado rela-
tions with Germany.
Sweden as well as other neutrals has
contended It has the right to export
to ficrmany any commodities pro
dnced at home even tho the goods are
replaced by commodities imported
from the Pulled States. Some Ameri-
can officials say the war would be
ended within six months If Swedish
Iron exoorts to Germany were
stopped.
AH Turn to Iron.
The Swedes it Is declared have
drained their country of foodstuffs by
taking from the food producing Indus-
tries vast numbers of men and placing
them in the iron mines and munitions
iectorles which luivo sprung up since
tl.o war beiran.
Another phase of the situation that
Is elvon careful attention here Is the
possible effect if Argentina breaks
relations with licrmay or eciures
war. Argentina this winter will have
large quantities of wheat for export
and as a neutral she might sona mucn
of It to the Kuropean neutrals under
tho operation of the lirltish blockade.
As a belligerent or with diplomatic
relations broken however the Argen-
tine government probably would take
control of its exports and carefully
supervise all shipments to the neu-
trals to prevent any foodstuffs from
reaching Germany.
Germany's Last Hoo.
Argentina is the only one of the big
food exporting nations now at peace
with Germany.
it was learned today that Secretary
Ijinsing sent the copies of the Inter-
cepted messages to the American rep-
resentative at Stockholm London and
Parts iut merely for their Informa-
tion. Not even the minister at Stock-
holm was given any instructions to
call It to the attention of the foreign
office the assumption being that the
legation her to which was delivered
a copy would loso no time In for-
warding It to Its government.
Mr. Ijinsing maintained his deter-
mination not to add comment to the
disclosures.. Officials believe that the
Argentine government will demand
soon if it has not already done so.
the withdrawal of the German diplo-
mat who advised the sinking of Ar-
gentine ships with all on board and
who characterized the foreign minis-
ter of Argentina as an "ass."

The oklahoman has led in tho

and bids have been advertised for Ice
oleomargarine oils and fuels. Tho
bids cull for deliveries beginning Sep-
tember 15. Tills probably means
that the troops will begin to arrive by
the first of next week.
Tho first shipment of pipe for the
24-Inch main between lake Ijiwtonka
and Fort Sill arrived yesterday. Two
cars aro here und hills have been re-
ceived for twenty. The construction
company has ono thousand feet of
ditch opened and the laying of the
pipe will begin tomorrow. The main
will bo laid at a rate of ono thousand
feet a day and will be completed
within forty days.
Prli-os Go I'p
In the meantime the pressure from
the present lii-lnch main with liwton
out off from the lake supply is ex-
pected to be umple. Hie Increase in
Uiwt oil's population doe to Ihe ac-
tivities nt Fort Sill and Camp Don-
iphan has boosted the price of lodg-
ings. The demand 1 fur in excess of
the supply and houses that formerly
brought $40 a month ure now renting
for $100 and more.
Tho abnormal conditions were
brought to tho attention of the busi-
ness men's club but no remedy Is
available. The law for demand and
supply rules the situation.

plause swept over tho house floor
and thru tho galleries today when
Speaker Clark In a brief speech de-
fended the soldiers and sailors Insur-
ance bill as tho best measure before
congress since the declaration of war.
"One of the objections to the bill."
he said "Is that the government Is
liable to find Itself in the hole as a
result of it. I don't know whether It
will put the government In tho hole
or not and am not vry much excited
about that. I am In favor of making
tho soldiers that go to F.urope as com-
fortable as possiblo both physically
and mentally. I don't want them to
have to worry about their families
back home."

Absolute Control From Pro-

KERENSKY STRIKES QUICKLY
Declares Martial Law for Pet-
rograd and Orders Resig-
nation of Usurper.
WASHINGTON Sept. 10. The
crisis precipitated by the forced resig-
nation of General Kornlloff lis commander-in-chief
of the Russian
armies Is regarded here as most sorl-
ons. Tho open fashion In which the
deposed commander demanded from
Premier Kerensky a virtual dictator-
ship and the adherence to his plans
of Deputy Lvoff with his following
of the duma und powerful members
of the Intellectual and military
classes indicate that the Kornilofl
forces feel sure they can succeed.
Unless tho differences can be com-
promised It is said Russia may sink
deeper In political disorganization
ami fall prey either to German con-
querors or the threatened nionarchlal
reaction.
Dcalli Sentence Main Issue
Without official dispatches explain-
ing In full the tangled situation. It is
expected here the chief point at Issue
Is the organization of the army along
Strict disciplinary lines Including the
death penalty for soldiers violating
orders advocated persistently by Gen
eritl Kornlloff. Altho Premier Ker-
ensky has declared himself for the
Kornlloff program the provisional
government has exercised a check on
the death sentence thru government
reviewing commissioners ut the front.
Apparently (ienerul Kornlloff de-
spaired of Improving the situation by
carrying out hlH frequent threats to
resign and finally became satisfied
that his Influence wua sufficiently
powerful to wrest the entire govern-
ment from the provisional cabinet.
The provisional government's decla-
ration of martial law In Petrograd
and the substitution of General
Klemhovsky us commader-ln-chlef Is
accepted as indicating that Kerenskv
does not count on compromise tactics
and Is ready to apply his policy of
"blood and iron" If necessary against
the revolt.
May lie Only Mlsiinderstadig.
A gleam of hope came from For-
eign Minister Terestchenkos' statemont
In an Interview today that he believed
tho revolt "not dangerous" and "part-
ly due to a misunderstanding which
will bo cleared up." In this connec-
tion It is explained by persons familiar
with Russian politics thut Genera
Korniloff's action has no connection
with the recently disclosed plot to re-
store the monarchy but Is intenaeu
by Its promoters ns the quickest means
to a common end of preserving Rus-
sian democracy against Germany.
Officials here see In the appoint-
ment of General Klemhovsky who has
commanded the armleH In the north
during tho recent retreat before ruga
evidence that the government hopes
to strengthen Its northern positions
ad hold the Germans against further
advance on Petrograd. Klemhovsky
will remain at bis present post in the
north according to the premier's proc-
lamation anil probably will be In bet-
er position to draw troops and sup-
plies to tho Riga sector.
