1 CIS! Ill THE COURT
GOVERNOR ASKS FOR DISMISSAL
OF PIPE LINE CASE
WEST PROCEEDED WITHOUT HHTROBITY
Contention Made That Restraining Or-
der Would Ruin Oil Business in Ok-
lahoma—West May Make a Fight
Against Dismissing Proceeding
(JIJTHRIE: Governor Charles N.
Haskell filed a motion in the district
court of Logan county on behalf of
the state of Oklahoma, asking the
court to dismiss the suit brought by
Charles West, attorney general of Ok-
lahoma, to restrain the Prairie Oil &
fJas company from laying pipe in pub-
lip highways. If the oil company were
prohibited from building pipe lines it
would have the effect of driving the
Prairie company from Oklahoma.
Governor Haskell asserts that the
i rairle company acquired its right
to build pipe lines in Indian Terri-
tory before statehood; that 1t was
not violating the constitution or laws
of Oklahoma in its present undertak-
ing and furthermore, that the attor-
neny general 'had no authority to
bring suit in the name of the state
without the governor directing him to
do it.
Attached to tthe governor's petition
was the report of a special representa-
tive of Goverjior Haskell who inves-
tigated the matter and who held that
unless the Prairie company was per-
mitted to build its proposed lines the
oil fields of Oklahoma would be
ruined.
GUTHRIE: Alleging I hat mi organ
rHnder on the street had as much
right to appear in the case as did Gov-
ernor * 'Haskell, Attorney Genera!
Charles J. West? Monday strenuously
opposed 'the governor's motion for a
dismissal of the injunction suit
against the Prairie Oil &. Gas Com-
pany in a speech which lasted for
several hours and fairly bristled with0
stabs at the governor and his personal
law clerk, who represented him in
court.
Prior to the beginning of the at-
torney general's argument in the case
in which he seeks to prevent the
building of a pipe line from the
"Cherokee shallow field"' to connect
wit hthe Prairie main pipe line * at
Caney, Kan., the governor's motion
was submitted to the court without ar-
gument, and the answer of the Prai-
rie company was also presented to
the court. The position tak#n by the
company is that the r^al owners of
the highways are the adjacent land
owners, and it asserts that no pipe
has been laid across a highway ex-
cept with the consent of tlis adjacent
land owners and the county commis-
sioners of the county. The company
admits that it is engaged in the inter-
state transportation of oil, "but not
for hire." which would tak# it. out of
the common carrier class.
In opening his argument tlie attor-
ney general stated that he bad no de-
«ire to disturb any rights which the
company had on November 1G. 1907,
and asked that^it file with its answer
a showing of the privileges and con-
cessions which had been granted to
it by the secretary of the Interior.
Land Obtained Through Fraud •
TULSA: Suits have been filed in
the United States circuit court by
the United States government for the
Creek nation against the Read Mill
& Elevator company, Texas company,
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad,
ct. al., in all 60 large property own-
ers in this city, involving the title
to nine blocks of-property here valued
af $.'00.000. Th<* government alleges
that the defendants obtained the
property .by fraud.
Booze Clerks Poorly Paid
GUTHRIE: That dispensary agents
in* Oklahoma are not getting rich is
shown by the report of State Dispen-
sary Agent R. E. Lozier. The business
of about seventy-five agencies since
April has amounted to $4,811.88 and
the commissions of that many agents
has totaled only $344.07. Liquor valued
at $12,238.08 has been sent to the va-
rious agencies. With the close o"
.fune the state agency had on hand L\-
333 gallons of whisky and 951 gallons
of alcohol, all confiscated goods. The
report does not include 3,000 gallons
of confiscated beer.
MACK NATIONAL CHAIRMAN
Tammany Consents to Bryan's Friend
Being Heail of Democracy
CHICAGO: At a meeting of the
democratic national committee here
Saturday the following officials were
chosen to have charge of the coming
campaign: Norman E. Mack, New
York, a personal and political friend
of Mr. Bryan, chairman of the nation-
al committee; L. P. Hall. Nebraska,
vice-chairman; Urev Woodson, Ken-
tucky. secretary; Governor Charles
N. Haskell. Oklahoma, treasurer; John
1. Martin, Missouri, sergeant-at-arms.
The selection of Mr. Mack came
only after two important long distance
telephone conversations, one with Wil-
liam J. Conners at Buffalo, N. Y.,
and the other with Charles Murphy,
the Tammany leader in New Yore,
city. Conners Is reportetd to have
said that Mr. Mack would be accep-
table to him as national chairman if
Murphy would also accept him.
Conners was asked if he would tele-
phone Murphy to that effect but re-
plied that he preferred that Mr. Mack
should do his own talking with New
York. The proposition then was put
up to Murphy, and, it Is said, the
Tammany leader declared that Mr.
Mack would be acceptable to him if
he would confine his operations to
the duties of national chairman and
not interfere in New York politics.
HIS
WELCOME
r
NAN PATTERSON ORDERED OUT
Pittsburg Police Force the Former
Chorus Girl to Leave City
PITTSBURG,. PA.: Fearing that she
was to be sent back to New York,
Nan Patterson, the chorus girl who
was tried three times for the murder
of Caesar Young at New York several
years ago, and who has been making
this city her home since that time,
left here for parts unknown, follow-
ing a conference with the police auth-
orities.
In speaking of the matter. Acting
Captain of Detectives Roche Said:
"When Nan Patterson was brought
in before me ehe thought that, she
was to fte sent back to New York, as
she is only out on probation there. She
was very retired and quiet and when
I told her she would have to go she
^agreed to do so. The wife of a prom
inent man called up on the telephone
stating that Nan Patterson had en-
ticed her husband and Nan admitted
this, promising to leave the city at
once."
Bryan Retires from Paper
LINCOLN, NEBR.I William J. Bry-
an retires as editor of the Commoner,
a signed letter in the paper announc-
ing that his candidacy for the presi-
dency makes it*neeessary for him to
take such action. Coupled with it is
the interesting statement that as a
personal campaign contribution the
profits of the Commoner, over and
above actual expenses, will be turned
ovei* to the*democratic national com-
mittee.
Two Divorcer from Same .Man
TULSA: Mrs. Nellie £hesley, of
Salamanca, N. Y., was granted a di-
vorce from Frank Chesley, millionaire
discoverer of the Glenn oil field, to
whom she was remarried in 190.' af'er
a divorce in 1902.
According to the government report
on the corn crop, Oklahoma* ranks
seventh in the acreage with 4,929.000
acres, originally planted. This is the
acreage taken before the high water
of last spring. *
TO INVESTIGATE RATES
Interstate Commerce Commission
Will Act on its Own Motion
WASHINGTON: The decision of the
interstate commerce commission that
it would consider the rcaonableness
of rates on notice of incr>ases by the
shippers and prior to their filing of
protests is regarded as of widespread
importance. Following closely upon
the action of Cincinnati shippers jn
appealing to the president to induce
the commission to take this course, it
is generally believed here that the sug-
| gestion calling for the* statement
comes from President Roosevelt.
Chairman Knapp said that the law
contemplated Investigation of the reas
onableness of rates by the commission
after they have become effective, but
he thought the commission might de-
cide that the Increase is effective af-
ter notice has been given by a carrier
and before the new rate actually goes
into effect. The commission's state-
ment takes that view of its powers.
Orders issued from the postoffice
department provhle for th* promotion
at first and second class offices In Ok-
lahoma as follows: At Vinita, one
i clerk $600 to $800, and uue $800 to
$900; at Kingfisher, one clerk $800 to
I $900; at Ardmore, three clerks $800
i to $900, one clerk and two carriers
I $900 to $1,000: *at Musaogee, two
I clerks $000 to $800, four $800 to* $900,
' three clerks and one carrier $900 to
$1,000.
Oklahoma's Coal Production
GUTHRIE: Oklahoma's total pro-
duction of coal for 1907, according to
tjie annual report of the United States
geological survey, just received here,
was 3,642,6.r>8 short tons, having a
total spot value of $7,433,914. The most
notlVorthy feature of the report is
the great increase in production over
1900. While the report for 1906 was
for Indian Territory alone and that
for 1907 is for the state of Oklahoma,
the entire coal producing section of
the state is contained in what was for-
merly Indian Territory, and the com-
parison of Oklahoma for 1907 and In-
; dian Territory for 1906 is really of
the same territory.
School Bond Election at Bradley
BRADLEY: The school board has
ordered an election for a bond Issue
of $10,000 for the purpose of erecting
a new school house. There is small
doubt but that the proposition will
carry largely as towns of similar size
recently held elections upon the same
question which carried by huge ma-
i jorities. These places include Ninne-
j kali. Rush Springs jfnd Tuttle.
GUTHRIE: The supreme court de-
nied the writ of mandamus to force
the mayor of Oklahoma City to call an
election on the new Vharter proposed
for the government of that city, but
held tlfat the provision of the consti-
tution is self-executing and that the
election may be held without a proc-
lamation by the mayor. This means
t.iat the charter may be legally voted
upon.
The election on the new e'fy char-
ter* will be held on September 2. No§
officers will be elected at the comfne
election, however. *
"Well, Uncle Lem is gone," Burbank
announced gravely as he drew hi*
chair to the eve-
ning fire.
"Gone!" The
word came in five
different keys.
"Yes," Burbank
answered his wile
rather than the
children. "The lo-
cal paper with his
obituary came to
the office to-day
1 meant to bring
it home."
"Poor old Uncle
Lem!" Mrs. Bur
bank murmured
"1 wish—"

"Uncle Lem
Gone."
i never thought of his dying." she
said. "I stayed off upstairs with the
girls all the evening the last time he
was here because 1 couldn't bear to
have Margaret Prince see him use
that horrid bandana handkerchief
and know he was our relative."
"I'm glad, anyhow." piped Bobby
from a hassock near the fire.
Everybody sat up in horror.
Bobby!"
"Well"'— defensively — "mothers
ol'ten said he wasn't any real relation
—just married lather's aunt. That
isn't much. And everybody was al
ways cross about it when he came."
An embarrassing silence followed.
Burbank looked reproachfully at his
wife, who flushed crimson, but met hlft
eyes squarely. She was reproaching
him. too.
Barbara and Claribel and Dick
stared at Bobby in stern disapproval,
while inwardly each smothered a hys-
terical, half-frightened giggle.
For there was no denying that Uncle
Lem—ungrammatical. unlaundered l"n-
cle Lem—who had been in the habit,
ever since the children could remem-
ber, of "making the rounds" among his
relatives once a year, had always in
life been frankly recognized as a trial
to be endured. Now. however, even
Bobby should have known better.
"1 think I always made him feel we!
come," said Mrs. Burbank, "but 1 can't
help wishing that I had really been
gladder at heart when he walked in
unexpectedly. You see, it so often
happened that, he came at inconveni-
ent times. Poor old man! He had a
lonely life and he hardly ever stayed
more than one night. If I had rea-
lised—"
"Wish now I'd listened more to his I
tiresome old stories," said Dick.
"I wish 1 hadn't, been so mean abour 1
giving up my room to him, since it \
was the last time," Claribel said. I
thought he was going to keep on com j
ing forever."
"Wisht I'd tasted his porridge when j
he ftsked me to," Bobby put in, ta^inj- j
his cue at last. "1 didn't like to ear ;
out of his spoon, tbatV, why."
Burbank shook his head. "He'll
never make the rounds' again," he :
said, with honest regret. "I must ad
liiit that I wasn't always as glad as i
ought to have been when he came
ambling into my office. Poor old un
cle!"
A few days later, as Burbank sat at
his office desk, his wife's voice cann
to him through the telephone.
"Max Burbank!" it said. "What did
,you mean by saying that was an
obituary notice of Uncle Lem? I just
picked up that paper you brought
home last night and It's an account of
a surprise party his neighbors gave
him on his eighty-fifth birthday. You
didn't read it through!"
"Wha-atl N-no, I guess I didn't,'
Burbank admitted, lamely. "I saw his
name and the two dates, 1823-1908,'
and I thought 1 knew the rest. Well,
well!"
This happened at two o'clock. Three
hours later Burbank called his wife
on the telephone.
"Mary," he said, his lips close to
the# transmitter, "we're saved. What
do you think? Uncle Lem is here now
in my outer office."
"Max! You don't mean it?"
"Yes; he'll be out with me to spend
the night."
"But, Max, to-night's the children s
party."
"Mary!"
i know." There was a pause, "it's
a chance given back to us and we
mustn't miss it.
Tell him—tell him
we're delighted,
Max."
Next, morning,
as Uncle Lem
started away from
the house with
his, nephew, the
Burbank children
stood around their
mother in the
doorway.
"Be sure you
come to our next
pa r t y , Uncle
Lem," they chor-
used sweetly.
The old man
grasped his big
cotton umbrella In Uncle Lem.
one hand and reached the other to
Mrs. Burbank.
"Mary," he said with a quiver of
his chin, "1 want to tell you one thing.
There ain't a place in the whole rounds
where I git the real welcome you give
me here. God bless you!"—Chicago

Mm®. Melba has seldom received
such a remarkable ovation as that
I .which greeted her appearance at the j
recent opera gala performance in
Paris. It cannot, however, compare i
{ in delirious enthusiasm with one she 1
i received some years ago in St. Peters- j
i buig. On one memorable ulght, after
j the Aose of the opera, she was ••ailed j
! before the curtain again and again
for more than un hour, until she was
so exhausted that she could scarcely
stand. Her enthusiastic admirers
then followed her carriage to the ho-
tel, where they serenaded her. al-
! though it was a bitterly cold night,
until three o'clock in the morning. On
the following day when she reached
the .station tq depart, the platform was
crowded with hundreds of adoring
music lovers. As the train was leav-
I ing they took the. pencil with which
i she had written her autograph for j
| all who could get near her, bit it into 1
small pieces and passed them around
J as souvenirs. •
