FOR OK KIT

CALLED TODAY
Why Cabinet Resigned.
New York Sept. 2:!. The Kveniug
World publishes an interview with
I'r. Fred S. Mason of New York
who has been in Kurope in which
lie claims that a high French of-
licial at Honlogne informed him that
it was due to Lord Kitchener that
tin-1 French cabinet resigned. Kighf
alter the war started a subordinate
French coniniender did not respond
to the lirilish call for reinforce-
ments and as the cabinet was dis-
posed to back up the French gen
eral I'omcare cot them to resign
The post oflice was robbed at
Cheek night before last and a small
amount of money and stamps taken.
This makes the twelfth robbery of
post ol'lices in this district comprising
the counties in the southeastern part
of the slate since the first day of
Augiisl all small offices and the
autlioril ies are inclined to believe that
local talent is responsible for the
greater part of the crimes. At Chech
the robber was evidently badly cut
by breaking glass in gaining entrance
as blood was all over the floor kind the
window ledge. Inspector Ilopson was
cn:!ed and lie is at work on the case.

Oklahoma City SepL 22. Carter
county has been represented five con-J
secutive years with agricultural ex-
hibits at the State Fair and has always
been in the money. Exhibits this year
are in charge of Felix K. West sec-j
retary of the Ardmore chamber of
commerce assisted by Robert Critten
den.
The exhibit brought here was se
lected from the best agricultural dis-
play? shown at the Carter county
farm products show held Sept. 11 and
It. This show is an annual event of
Tarter county and Is regarded by its
promoters as one of the strongest edu-
cational features of the year. Pre-
miucs are raised by public subscrip-
tions and the effort receives the warm
KUpport of the merchants of Ardmore.
Mr. West has been la charge of
every exhibit Carter county has
broo;tt to the Oklahoma State Fair.
Representative V. T. Itexroat was
here today from Wilson lie lias mov
ed to the new town which is located
three miles from his farm and is de-
voting bis time almost exclusively to
his farm interests lie says the rain
there yesterday was heavy and some
oil is being washed down the streams
but bow much no one knows. It is
thought however that the loss is a
light one.

Adainson Okla. Sept. 22. Formal
funeral services commending the!
souls of the thirteen men entombed in
the i'nion Coal company's mine No. 1
to the (iod of all nations were held at
the top of the mine Sunday and so
far as riles of burial are concerned
that will probably have to suffice. All
hope or recovering the bodies has
been abandoned. Company officials
still expect to penetrate to the ooint
i
where ( lie bodies are supposed to have'
been caught in the fall -by digging i
through from n-.lne Xo. 2 and Xo. 4 j
but that will likely be several months
hence. Kven if the place of death is
discovered it is doubtful if any evi-'
deuces of human form w ill be left in '
the crush of earth.
Sunday's funeral sen ice was con
ducted by Itev. James Fesperman for
merly engineer at Xo. 1 under the aus
pices of the local union Xo. i::ii. Ou-
ly the ritualistic service was followed.
Two hundred or more people attended
a number of them being visiting dele-
gations from the neighboriiiK mining
lamps.
The list of the dead are: It. I.
I'-ert Ilahn and K. M. Turner of
I alias are in the city today and will
return home this afternoon. These
gentlemen came to confer with May
or Roberts ami to renew their prom
ise to make the repairs on the pav
ing done in this city by the Mc
Quatters Paving company. These men
or others connected with the paving
business have been promising to
make these repairs for a number of
months. Mr. Turner was here on
two or three different occasions last
winter and at that time it was un
derstood that repairs were to be
made at once. However Mr. Hahn
stated today in the presence of the
mayor and a few chosen witnesses
that happened to be near that within
ten days from today he. would be
ready to begin the work of making
the repairs lie has a crew of men
now in Sherman and they will be
brought here from that point to do
the work.
The Downard people who paved
Hroadway. will also be making some
paving repairs on that street within
a rhoit time and the chances seem
good now that Ardmore's streets
will be put in good condition.
Mr. Ilahn Is at the head of the
Hert Hahn Paving company of which
Kirk Tyer. Kennett Hudson Harold
Wallace and other Ardmore citliens
are connected. Mr. Turner is a man
tf affairs. He has for several years
bwn en cared In mining on an ex-
tensive srale In Mexico.
Tin- board of city commissioners
met at the city hull last night in reg-
ular session and asido from the reg
ular business of the city the cemetery
and paving question was discussed to
some length. In regard to the repairs
due on the city paving the citizens of
North Washington street are in re-
volt and say they will puy no more
paving tax until the paving company
have made good on their contract and
repaired the streets where necessary.
Some time ago the mayor went to
Dallas to consult with the McQuat-
ters company relative to this matter
and obtained assurance from them
that they had contracted with a firm
to do the work and that it would be-
gin at once. That was over a mouth
ago and in view of the many an-
nouncements in the past that never
materialized the citizens are deter-
mined to have something for their
money besides promises and for that
reason many are holding out on their
paving tax. In reference to the cem-
etery for several years the city has
been on u deal with OIlie Bailey for
soma additional and for cemetery pur-
poses and it seems that another ad-
ministration contracted with him for
certain parcels . of land giving their
notes lor the same w hich the present
city administration declare is illegal
In every particular as a city does not
give notes for any purchase but is
sues bonds for those purposes. The
present administration want to
straighten out the matter but believe
that the price paid for the land Is
exorbitant and the face of the notes
together with the accrued interest
make it look that way to the tax pay-
ers. The city attorney was instructed
to take the matter up with Mr. l!al-
ley. and come to some agreement '
with him.
