Close iu real estate and business'
property is moving with a vim ill
Knid these days. Some $r,0,000
worth of brick buildings around the
square changed hands today, in
(act the total amount of the sales Is
probably considerably above that
risuru.
II. C. Henry sold his interest iu
■the Rogers, Gannon and Henry
building at •the northeast corner of
the square, fifty feet fronting on
Kandolpb, to his partners, Messrs.
Gannon and Rogers. Mr. H?ur>
then bought the twenty-live foot
brick two-story structure 011 the north
i<le "where the ofilces of Gannon and
Gouldlng are located, and also the
twenty-five foot brick on the west
■side occupied by the Gibbfl hard-
ware store.
Before he had secured title to the
west side building Mr. Henry sold
H 10 John Murphy, who owns the
building adjoining it 011 the north.
Colonel Murphy paid Mr. Henry a
handsome profit above the latter s
purchase price.
Colonel Murphy has intended to
build in the spring a brick structure
in the placa of the frame which oc-
cupied tho lot adjoining the one he
purchased today from Mr. Henry,
and it is said that his idea in pur-
chasing tho Henry property was to
itet enough room to warrant him in
.•reeling a rood sized structure, hav-
ing fifty feet frontage on the square.
But he has rot yet perfected his
plans in this regard.
Another deal is pending for valu-
able property on the square with the
view to erecting a fine structure at
once but the contract has not yet
been signed.

imported without
re sold to others
employees.
This condition, he asserts, stifles
Panama commerce, creating a mon-
opoly in favor of the commissary,
which imports luxuries and supplies
for the workmen.
As a result, President Obaldia
says, Panama importers, despite the
signs of prosperity, are less prosper-
ous than at the time of -the French
canal operations, when the works
were practically at a standstill.
The following remedies are sug-
gested in the petition:
That the United States pay the
men in currency, suppressing abso-
lutely the coupon system; that the
commissary Import solely supplies for
the post canteens, selling only to
employees of the canal commission,
and supplying only provisions to the
Panama railroad; the commission be
not permitted, either directly or
through the railroad to enter into
competition- with Panama enter-
prise or capital through free trans-
portation to the various cities; that
the Panama railroad be prevented
from giving rebates in favor of the
commission or discriminating in any
way against others; that the United
States federal laws governing rail-
roads be enforced in the canal zone.
The petition finally requests that
the president of the United States
appoint a member of the Interstate
commerco commission to hear com-
plaints against the commission or the

a bill of discovery under the Okla
homa anti-trust law. asking for sub-
poenas for the officers and employes
of the Standard Oil company, the

for other persons unknown, it is
understood that the proceedings are
for tho purpose of obtaining evidence

Governor Haskell was asked if
the suit was brought by his direc-
tion. in conformity with the recent
lupreme court decision, which held
[that the attorney general had no
j power to bring actions in the name
of the state except by the direction
I of the governor. He replied:
"Yes, I had directed the attorney
general to bring action against the
Standard, but 1 did not know that a
suit had been filed, and I really don't
know, and could not say whether I
directed the bringing of the suit
without seeing the papers. 1 can't
say."
The general impression here Is
that the suit was brought by tho at-
torney general without asking the
consent of the governor.
