OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY MAY 15. 1903,
NUMBER 4
NEW ORLEANS-DENVER LINE IS ASSURED
Changes Have Been Made in the Charter to Cover Road from
Arkansas & Choctaw to Denver
WORK STARTED AT ONCE
Oklahoma City & Southeastern Surveyors Will Not Stop
at Oklahoma City But Anticipate Extending Iheir
Line on the Northwest
'A merger has taken place that is of
Immense benefit to Oklahoma City. The
directors of the Oklahoma City &
Northwestern railway met last night
end agreed to an amendment of Its
charter so as to include the Oklahoma
City & Southwestern and an addition-
al line from Coalgate to a connection
with the Arkansas & Choctaw, the
Frisco line which is built through the
Indian Territory and Arkansas into
Louisiana, and which Is pushing on to
New Orleans.
The directors of the Oklahoma City
& Northwestern are C. G. Jones, War-
ren K. Sny.ler, G. W. Carrico, J. L. Wll-
kins, John E. Carson and R. J. Ed-
wards.
The announcement Is made that the
road will build at once from here IliO
miles northwest to a connection with
the road now building out of Enid, pro-
vided Oklahoma City agrees to pur-
chase the right of way to the county
line northwest, a distance of some
twenty miles. No terminals are de-
aired. The matter will be placed be-
fore the Chamber of Commerce as soon
as the excursion gets back, and that
body will be asked to make haste with
their work as the construction of the
line will be started as soon as the
survey can be completed.
The surveyors will be In Oklahoma
City from the Oklahoma City & South-
eastern In a day or two,- and Instead of
stopping here they will go right on
northwest. Just what towns will be
touched lies with the engineer. He has
Instructions to select the best line, and
towns will be secondary.
The contract on the Oklahoma City
& Southeastern Is now ready to let,
and bids will be called for In a day or
two. The extension to the southwest
of Coalgate will probably strike the two
Frisco lines at Hugo, a distance of fif-
ty miles from Coalgate.
The road is to be extended to Den-
ver as fast as the work can be pushed
to completion.
These announcements are made after
the merger of the Rock Island and Fris-
co, so that nothing stand* In the way
of the completion of the lines.
It Is the liest enterprise that Okla-
homa City has ever had put before it,
and the money necessary to buy the
right-of-way asked should be raised in
three days. A through line from Den-
ver to New Orleans is not cmly the best
kind of line for Oklahoma City, but
will be the best paying Investment ever
made in railway enterprises. Along
this line can be found products to sup-
ply practically every want of man. Su-
gar, molasses, rice, oil, cotton, lumber,
corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, coal, as-
phalt, Iron, limestone, granite, wheat,
hogs, cattle and every form of vegeta-
tion known to the temperate zone, are
found or produced in abundance along
this line. At New Orleans It connects
with mlglily ocean steamers and at
Denver It reaches a region attractive to
all of the southern states as a sum-
mer resort. To Oklahoma City's Job-
bers It gives another Important line nnd
opens a fine field for th'e trade. On the
one side it penetrates the wheat and
cotton bit, and on the other, cotton,
corn, hogs, mineral and lumber re-
gions. It gives this city a greater di-
versity.of resources than ever.
It means still more. It means big
shops here with thousands of employes.
The ground has been purchased and the
plans are laid.
A FOREST IN ARID KANSAS
Sec Hitchcock to Withdraw land in Tour
Southwestern Counties
(Tly the Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, I). C., May 13.—Sec-
retary Hitchcock will soon issue an or-
der withdrawing 73.000 acres of land in
Finney, Grant, Kearney and Haskell
counties, Kansas, from homestead en-
try. The order will be made In compli-
ance with a request from Secretary
Wilson of the Department of Agricul-
ture. The bureau of forestry has com-
pleted Its plans for the establishment
of a forest reserve of 94,000 acres In
southwestern Kansas and, immediately
upon the order from the Secretary of
the Interior, will begin its work.
The boundaries of the receive are
Irregular. The tract will Include 73,000
acres of government land, 4,500 acres
of school land and 16,000 acres of priv-
ate land. The northeastern boundary
of the tract will run to within one mile
of Garden City. The nursery will be
near Garden City In the Irrigated dis-
trict. The present plans contemplate
the planting of seed from the Jack
pines of northern Michigan. These ex-
periments already have been made on
a small scale In northern Nebraska.
The effort will also be made to culti-
vate the red cedar, which Is now found
in the vicinity of McFarland, Kas.
Two forest reserves were established
last year In Nebraska aggregating 210,
000 acres. One is in Thomas county In
the central part of the state and the
other In Cherry county, in northern
Nebraska. Former experiments on
small scale had poaitively demonstrated
the success of tree culture In these
sections of the state.

perlmental legislation. The President
will lend his aid to see that his party
is united for the measure, and at the
same time he will make it apparent
that he has in no way abandoned his
propaganda for the Cubans. The Presi-
dent believes that this is a duty he
owes to the Cubans. He gave a tacit
promise through diplomatic channels
that if the Cuban Congress would
ratify the treaty sent down to it he
would call the extra session for the
purpose of securing legislation making
the terms of the treaty effective and
binding on the United Status.

IT WORKS BOTH WAYS
tiaha Judge Grants Injunction Against
Men Interfering With Strike
(By The Asc sola ted Press.)
OMAHA, May 13.—Judge Dickinson
In the district court at 7 o'clock last
night, on application of Jno. O. Yelser
an attorney representing the labor un-
ions whose members are on strike is-
sued an injunction against the business
men and proprietors even more sweep-
ing than that issued by the federal
court against the unions last week. The
order restrains the business men from
refusing to sell goods to dealers who
employ union labor, prevents them
from boycotting union labor, requires
the business men's association to cease
holding meetings or conspiring against
the unions or In any way interfering
with the unions in the management of
their affairs.
None of The members of the Busi-
ness Men's Association could be seen
last night, and any plan of action they
may formulate will come up later. The
situation now Is considered a most
serious one, by which 3800 men are on
strike or lockout. Including 180 laun-
dries closed and has brought the city
almost to a standstill.
Judgo Dickinson, who issued the in-
junction has been on the district for
ten years and is considered one of the
most able Jurists In the state. He la at
this time In chargo of the law docket,
and ha# dectsions on points of equity
before the law have been considered as
authoritative In the legal world. The
decision Is more peculiar because of
the fart that three Jlatrlct court Judges
yesterday enjoined the walters union
from all acts tending to hamper the
business of the restaurant proprietors.
The order of the court restrains the
business men's association and others
named as defendants, as follows:
First—From in any manner threaten-
ing to Injure the business or person or
any employer of members of cross com-
plaints union or member of labor union
or any person who may employ or de-
sire to emplay such union men, or from
refusing to soli commodities and sup-
plies of merchandise to employers or
such union labor, and from discrimin-
ating against such persons in the prices
charged for any such commodities.
Second—From threatening or intim-
idating in any manner any person into
joining the said business men's asso-
ciation or any organizations to Join la-
bor unions.
Third—From threatening or intimi-
dating any person who may have be-
come a member of said association or
organization if he employs organized
labor or recognized labor unions, into
discontinuing such employment.
Fourth—From imposing any fines up-
on its members or any person for vio-
lating any agreement not to employ
organized labor or not to recognize la-
bor unions.
Fifth—From receiving or paying out
any money whatever in pursuance of
any agreement to break up labor unions
except attorneys in this action.
Sixth—From paying or offering any
money to officers or members of unions
directly or Indirectly as a bribe to do
or not to do any act in pursuance of
any agreement or any of ahld defend-
ants against such unions.
Seventh—From supporting or engag-
ing agents and servant* to import any
laborers Into the city of Omaha or state
of Nebraska in pursua.nce of any exist-
ing plan to destroy labor organuizationB
or plan.
Eighth—From bringing any other In-
junction suits or actions in pursuance
of any general plan of prosecution to

similar plans connected directly or In-

(Pr The Associated Press.)
JERSEYV1LLE, ILL., Miy 13.—May-
or George D. Locke has received
through the local post office an anony-
mous letter threatening his life. Mr.
Locke has been mayor during the past
two years, and was reelected on a citi-
zen's ticket in April after a bitter con-
test. His administration has been
characterized by public improvements
and n strict enforcement of all the city
ordinances. He has been bitterly op-
posed by the saloon and gambling ele-
ment, who are now chagrined because
they can not obtain concessions from
the mayor. The letter Is In disguised
handwriting and reads as follows:
"Jerseyvllle, 111., May 9, 1903— Hon.
George Locke: I notice by the St. Louis
papers the gang are going after J. W.
Folk, nnd as you are doing the same
thing In Jersoyvllle as Folk Is In St.
Louis and Injuring our business we
want to notify you that you will have
to pull in your horns and roost low, be-
cause we aren't going to stand this
any longer.
"The city council Is to meet Monday,
May 18, and we wnnt to serve notice
on you now If you use any more of vour
bulldozing methods on us we will fix
you, as you are no longer "It."
"If you don't let up fighting the sa-
loon keepers and gamblers, and quit

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
leaders in Congress Oesirlous to Have
Action Before Christmas
(By The Associated Pies? )
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13—The
Information telegraphed here from the
West that there would be an extra sua-
sion of the Congresss, beginning No-
vember 9 next, brought no surprise to
the congressional circles summerinc
here. It has been well understood that
it is the intention of Mr. Roosevelt
to call a session of Congress early In
the fall. It was his original intention
to call the legislators back to the capi-
tal In September. Indeed, ho has been
urged to do this by a coterie of East-
ern senators, who believe that If the
extra session Is begun early enough
financial bill can be passed before the
regular session begins. They are hard
at work at this time preparing a bill
which will be acceptable to the major-
ity In each house, and unless they can
get early consideration they are In
doubt whether they will be able to get
their measure passed before the Christ-
mas rcess.
There will be a conservative hill, as
Senator Spooner has explained since his
confcrcnce with colleagues of th" fin-
ance committee at Hot Springs. It will
be a bill which will offer needed relief
In certain directions, but which will
not attempt to put Into effect any ex-
TREAfMENI FOR CONSUMPTION
German Scientist, Robert Schneidcr, Will
Hold Clinic in Chicago
(Bv the Associated Presa )
BERLIN. May 13.—St. Ann's sani-
tarium, the new consumptives' hospital,
which is about to be opened in Ohlcago.
will be the scene of great tuberculosis
clinics during the coming summer, at
which Robert Schneider of Berlin, the
discoverer of the consumptive cure
known as "sanosln," will Introduce his
treatment to the American medical and
sclentlflo world. George C. Mages of
Chicago, secretary of the cltlsens' com-
mittee which ralsod the fund for build-
in* the sanitarium, has arranged that
Schneider shall spend June, July, Au-
gust nnd September in Chicago, and
treat free all the patients that the hos-
pital can accommodate.
Schneider's dlscoverey will be made
public for the first time before the
Berlin medical society next Wednesday
by Prof. Theodore Sommerfleld, Berlin's
foremost -authority on consumption,
who will make an exhaustive report,
proving that the remedy has perma-
nently cured 60 per cent of all consump-
tives treated. The experiments covered
a period of six months, and included
many cases in the second and third
stages. The cure is not a serum, like
Koch's "tubcrculln." It is a vapor ad-
ministered by Inhalation, and generat-
ed over a simple alcohol lamp from a
powdered mixture of Australian eucal-
yptus and sulphur.
George C. Mages Is enthusiastic over
having secured the first American dem-
onstration of the cure for the Chicago
sanitarium. He says that the German
medical authorities maintain that it
ranks as the most important contribu-
tion to the science of tuberculosis
treatment since Koch discovered the
bacillus of that disease. Frank 11.
Mason. Tilted Stales .onsul general
here, will forward a full report of the
cure to Washington.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 13.—Heartier
greeting was never given a president of
the United States than that offered yes-
terday by the city of Sap Francisco to
Theodore Roosevelt. Through miles
and miles of densely packed, cheering,
patriotically enthused humanity, the na
tion's chief passed, bowing his acknow-
ledgments, evidently tired from main-
taining on erect position but buoyed up
by the impreseiveness of the demon
strations. It was a magnificent ovation
and one that will doubtless vividly re
main In the president's recollections of
his eventful tour.
The president's train, drawn by
handsomely decerated locomotive, ar-
rived at Third and Townsend streets
promptly at 2:15 o'clock. A large gath
erlng of federal and state officials, army
any navy officers, foreign consuls and
distinguished citizens was In waiting
to welcome the chief magistrate
Mayor Schmidt stepped aboard the
rear car and formally greeted
Roosevelt, the president making brief
response. M. H. LeYoung.president of
the citizens' reception committer
shook hands with the distinguished vis-
itor. nnd said:
"Mr. President: In the name of th
citizens of San ranelsco, I extend you
a hearty welcome. In the days of old
when our land owned by the Spaniards,
who w*re noted for their hospitality
when they recived a guest, they gener-
ally saluted him with the remark, 'our
hou?e and all that Is In It Is yours.' We
any to you to-day, Mr. President, our
city, and all that Is In It Is yours, and
with It we give you our hearts and you
will have evidence as you pass through
our decorated streets of the hearty sen-
timent of you that prevails In the bott-
om of all our citizens. We will try to
make your stay with us pleasant, and
we hope that when you leave us. you
will do so. < arrylng with von the mem-
ory of one of the most delightful visits
of your trip throughout the weBt. Mr.
President, you are welcome."
Mr. Roosevelt expressed his thanks
In a few words and was then Introduc-
ed to Admiral Blckford, of the British
P - ifl* Squadron, who conveyed th<>
good wishes of King Fid ward and said
that the arrival of the lagshin of the
squadron to assist In the greeting was
another Instance of the cordial relations
existing between the two nations.
President Roosevelt said he appre-
ciated the evidences of friendship and
begged that his good wishes be given
to his majesty.
Befora entering his carriage Mr.
Roosevelt fftepped up to the engineer
and warmly shook his hand as also
the'fireman who piloted him ffdm the
south.
The line was headed by a troop of col-
ored cavalry, this being the first In-
stance in the west where nero soldiers
held the position of honor in a public
procession. Following the president
came United Statue troops from the
local po«ts, sailors and marines from
warships In the harbor and at Mare Is
land, regiments of the state militia and
a number of antl-mllitary organizations
notable feature was the fancy march-
ing of the Cleveland Grays who came
from Ohio to participate Jn the Califor-
nia greeting.
After reviewing the parade, the presi-
dent was driven to the Y. M. O A.
building, where a throng had assembled
to participate in the burning of mortga-
ges and notes*representing the total In-
debtedness og $116,280, upon the proper-
ty. The president by request touched a
lighted taper to the documents, nnd as
the flames licked up the p ipers he Join-
ed .vlth the assemblage in singing
Praise Qod, from Whom all Blessings
Flow."
Following Is the president's speech at
Y. M. C. A. meeting:
"Few things could have glv*n me
more pleasure than the privilege in tak-
ing part at the dedication, free of debt,
of this building, to the uses for whh h
It Is dedicated. It would be hard to
over estimate the amount of good work
done by the Y. M. C. A., and the Y. W.
C. A. This association represents th<>
effort to provide for the body as well
as for the mind, to help young men to
educate tnemselves, to train themselves
for the practical life as well as for the
higher life, and to give them amuse-
ment and relaxation that will educate
and not debase them, in other words,
the Y M. C. A. In all Its branches is
working for civic and social righteous-
ness, for decency, for good citizenship.
There is no patent receipt for getting
good citizenship. You fret It by apply
ing the old rules of decent conduct*,
the rules In accordance with which de-
fiant man have had to ban thalr llvaa
from the beginning. Agood citizen,
a man who stands as he should stand,
with his relations to the state, to the
nation, must first of all be a good man
of his own family, a man who do-s
ritfht the thing that is nearest, a man
who is a good neighbor( and I U1,r>
neighbor broadly), who handle himself
as his self respect I
handle himself In hi
of adherence to the principles laid down
by the founder of Christianity, If we
are sincere In our professions of adher-
ence to the Immutable laws of righte-
ousness we will honor in others and
ourselves the power of each to do de-
cently and well the work allotted to
him and ask nothing further than that.
If we can get ourselves and the com-
munity at large really imbued with
that spirit, nine-tenths of the differen-
ces that beset us will vanish."
The President was banquetted last
night at the Palace hotel by the citi-
zens committee. The dining room was
a marvel of beauty, being decorated
with thousands of irises and Beauty of
Glenwood roses. The many tables were
arranged to seat thirty-six persons
each except the table of the honored
guest, which ran the entire length of
the north side of the room, and to
which the others were placed at right
angles. Immediately back of Roose-
velt's chair was draped the presidential
flag which had been sent over from
the Mare Island ynrd. To the rlabt of
Chairman DeYoung sat the President,
Gov. Pardee, Secretary Loeb, British
Admiral Blckford, Dr. Rlxey, Admiral
Kempff and Dr. Butler. On the left
were Secretary M >ody, Mayor S< hmits.
Senator Perkins, Assistant Secretary
Barnes, General MacArthur and Dr.
Wheeler.
One of the features of the decorations
was an Immense garland made entire-
ly of California fruits and swung on the
south wall of the room Stretching
from one end of the hall to the other
was a string of electric lights spelling
"Land of Sunshine, Fruit and Flowers,
welcomes President Roosevelt."
Following Is President Roosevelt's
speech it the banquet la*t night:
"I thank the citizens of ihe Golden
state for their greeting. I re|ol • with
you on the prosperity of California and
that prosperity Is but part of the pros-
perity of the whole nation. Speaking
