Evidence and arguments were heard
by the corporation commission Tuesday
on the complaint from citizens of Choc-
taw, who wero asking that the Hock
Inland ho required to give them additional
train service, so that they might be en-
abled to come to Oklahoma City and re-
turn the same day. The snine point is
Involved In the complaints filed Monday
from Harrah and McLoud, and It wan
ct at I'd In this hearing that similar con-
ditions prevailed as far oast an Wewoka
! The request made by the complainants
i was that the Hook Island bi- required to
•top Its new fast train, but that was op-
posed by T. H. Beacom, general superin-
tendent of the Rook Island, who repre-
sented that road at the hearing, on \
ground that It would disarrange the en-
tire acnedule of tho train Mr. Beacom
stated that It was Impossible to arrange
any schedule which would be entirely
satisfactory to all | olnts, and that It was
necessary to fix them so as to give the
best service to the greatest number of
people.
A possible solution was suggested by I
Commissioner Watson, who aslced t'.v
complainants whether !t would he satis- I
factory to them to have the train from
tho "vest, which gets In hern about 2 p
m. und remains until the next morning,
run on as far as Shawnee. They were
willing to accept that, although "they
would prefer the other serylce.
The complaint from Greenfield, asking
for telegraph Is service, was also hearl
at length. Messages are now being tele-
phoned to and from Geary and the service
has been found rather unsatisfactory.
Commissioner Henshaw announced <that It
would be sixty days before the opinion
I would he handed down, and that the
| Western Union and the Kock Island would
be given that length of time to Improve
tho service.
The Sapulpa viaduct case, In which an

would refuse to allow the men to attend
their meeting Monday and they would
take no part In Joint meeting. Monday,
however, tho men were admitted and
despite the objections of the Phllathea
delegates that the consolidation would
wipe out their Individuality, the motion

proved by a large vot .

SOME OOEER BILLS
Washington, June IS—Following sensa-
tional disclosures Tuesday by the house
committee Investigating the state de-
partment, Secretary of State Knox Is to
appear before the committee to explain
why It was tha tFrederlck Hale, son of
Senator Eugene Hale waa paid |6,000
on the simple O. K. of Mr. Knox, and
that this payment was made out of the
Canadian boundary fund.
The committee also learned that the
long lost voucher In the Dav portrait mys-
tery had been found "on the floor" of
the disbursing officer's office. This
voucher was 12,450, while Artist Rosen-
thal said he received but $850 for the
painting. , . .
The discovery that Frederick Hale had
been paid $5,000 was made during the
testimony of Thomas Morrison, disburs-
ing officer. The committee Immediately
decided to summon Secretary Knox.
Chairman Hamlin and his colleagues
sat up straight In their chairs when Mr.
Morrison mentioned* rather casually that
the Day portrait voucher, withdrawn
from the department flies when E'.lhu
Root was secretary of state, and appar-
ently lost for the last five years, had
been found in such a peculiar fa«hlon.
"Where was It found?" queried Mr.
Hamlin in unfeigned surprise.
"In my room on the floor near the
waste paper basket."
The committee collectively caught Its
breath.
"Who found It?" thev asked In unison.
"A messenger, cleaning up," said Mor-
ris.

"The millers and the bankers should
combine and urge the farmer to take ad-

Several restaurants were completely
put out of business, temporarily, at least.
Tuesday noon, when the walters and
cooks walked out. Lee's, 15 South !
Broadway, Is closed, with a big sign
across the window saving: "Closed on
account of strike; will open soon; see
dally papers."
At Lee's cafe. No. 2. Just around the
corner on Grand avenue, the proprietor |
and his family are taking care of the
trade, as long as the food already rooked
holds out, after which the proprietor
expects to close up and leave for the east
to see If he can get some good help.
He said, "there ore several reasons
why we could not concede to the demands
of the unions. One was the Increase In
salaries. At my two cafes my weekly
salary roll has been $377. while under j
the proposed scale It would be $468. an
Increase of $91. And It hits the other
restaurant men of the city the same
way. We have organized almost all the ,
restaurant keepors In the city and will
not accede to the union's demands.

out and for a time things were at a

peared on the scene ready to work, but

would hot stay. Flnallv the police came

with the exception of two or three union
men, who stood close to the building

Sheriff Jack Spain and some deputies
arrived shortly afterward and things as-
sumed a more peaceful aspect at once.
Two restaurants, the Richelieu and
the Gridiron, did not close. At the for-
mer the walters all stayed, while all
the cooks but one walked out, and at
the latter a cook stayed and the pro-
prietors themselves took care of the
trade. Restauraut men say they will
not give In, but will have plenty of
help in a short time.

where she was accused of shop-lifting,
the three faced Justice Sam Bartell,
Tuesday morning, while the county en-
deavored to put them under bond to keep
the peace. The testimony of the state
showed that the women had attempted
to assault Miss Williams and that Snyder
told them he would pay their fines. The
defendants did not have their witnesses
present, so the case was continued until
June 20, the defendants being put under
a temporary bond of $500.

Rochester. N. Y., June 13.—The sove-

a ten-days' session. Delegates from
every state In the union are In attend-
ance.
Contrary to the announcement of some
days ago, there has been no committee
appointed by the board of directors of
the Chamber of Commerce, for the pur-
pose of selecting a suitable successor to
.T. H. Johnston as manager-secretary of
the body. O. P. Workman, president,
said this morning:
"From statements appearing in the
press during the last few days one would
be led to believe that a large number of .
applicants had been received from persons
ambitious of succeeding Mr. Johnston.
This Is not true. As a matter of fact,
the i have been but five or six appli-
cations filed, and they have received no
consideration at all, for the reason fhat
no committee has been appointed for that
purpose. It is the purpose of the hoard
of directors 'to appoint such a committee i
at the next meeting. The identity of its j
members will remain secret, as to make J
public the names would Inevitably result |
in such pressure being brought to bear
upon them that careful Judgment In tho :
hi lection, would be virtually Impossible i
There has been no decision reached re- |
garding the new appointee, ar.d no par-
ticular man has even been thought of.
The fact that Mr. Johnston's resignation
does not take effect for several months
yet, gives the board plenty of time."
