SOON BREAK GROUND FOR
STATE CAPITOL
Oklahoma City, Okla., June 10^-
(Special.)—The state capitol commis-
sion transacted its first official busi-
ness involving financial matters, Mon
day morning when it met and approv-
ed claims for general expenses includ-
ing salaries, rentals, telephones and
other expenses. The commission, al-
though appointed several months ago,
had been unable to transact any busi-
ness involving the expenditures of
funds because of the fact that the r.p-
propriations made by the 1913 legis-
lature for capitol purposes did not be-
come available until the bonus money
was paid by Oklahoma City.
W. B. Anthony, P. J. Goulding and
S. A. Douglas, the members of the
capitol commission, were entertained
Monday at the noonday luncheon of
the Oklahoma City chamber of com-
merce. The commissioners were the
guests of honor and were called upon
for talks on their plans for construc-
tion of the capitol. The chamber of
commerce is trying to push matters so
that the corner stone of the capitol
building may be laid on July 4. Mem-
bers of the commission however, say
it will be impossible to have the foun-
dation completed ready for a corner
stone laying at that early date but
it might be possible to erect one piece
and place the corner stone upon it
Commissioner W. B. Anthony stated
Monday that he cannot say when
work of breaking ground can begin it
but he believes that excavation will be
under way before July 4. The capitol
commission met Monday afternoon
with the architects to discuss the gen-
eral plans for the capitol building.

SIX INDIANS ARRIVE AT EXPO-
SITION SITE
San Diego, Calif., June 9th.—(Spec-
ial).—The "exhibits" have begun to
arrive at the Panama-California Ex-
position, the first installment ip the
form of six Indians from the San Ilde-
fonso pueblo in New Mexico, who will
be stationed on the "Painted Desert,"
the spectacular exhibit of the Santa
Fe Railway.
These "exhibits" are not purely or-
namental. On the contrary, all six
Indians, led by their chief, Julian
Martinez, who is distinguished by a
bright beaded waistcoat and extra
long braids of hair tipped with beaver
skin, were put to work immediately
preparing the adobe for the long row
of dwellings and the stockade to sur-
round the aeservation. Not even the
opening of the Exposition on January
1, 1915, will end their work, for all
the year they and their companions,
several- hundred strong, will be build
ing new dwellings on the "Desert,'
showing the white visitors how the
little brown houses are constructed.
This is one of the novel features of
the Exposition which lays special em-
phasis cn its novelties.
Only six were allowed to leave the
pueblo at this time, as most of the red
men must remain there during the
planting season. In about a month
the first installment will be joined by
many others, including the squaws
who will do the lighter work. Through
the twelve months of 1915 they will be
at work not only in constructing their
buildings, but in making pottery, em-
broidery and rugs exactly as in their
native villages. The Indians will in-
clude representatives both of the
pueblos and the wandering tribes.
Julian and his men are well satis-
fied with the interest they have arous-
ed, hringing good sized crowds to Bal-
boa Park each day to watch the pro-
gress of the adobe buildings. They
startle most of the visitors by writing
their signatures in clean script. All
have good common school educations,
acquired in the government schools.

A FATAL ACCIDENT
Frank Manus, of Henryetta,
killed instantly and Leonard Bradley,
also St Henryetta, so seriously hurt
that at midnight grave fears are still
felt that he cannot survive, in a
mysterious accident in the Tiger Flats
field Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
The men were working for Ringman
Bros.on the Alluwe Oil company's
well on the Hawkins land in 6-11-13.
The well has been a medium gas well
in the Mitchell sand and it was con-
cluded to plug it, the offset north of
it being an oil well and plainly re-
ducing the pressure. The man
were engaged in ''killing" the gas by
a joint lubrication process and had a
top valve at the top of the casing.
With the lower gate closed the joint
of casing was filled with water and
mud, then the upper gate closed and
the lower opened. By this means the
mud was lowerd to the bottom as the
pressure equalised.
How the explosion occurred that
caused the terrible wounding of the
men is not known. It is only known
that Manus was killed instantly and
was thrown some distance from the
well. Bradley was very badly hurt
and at dimnight the report was that he
was still unconscious. Two fractures
of the skull either of which would hav
caused instant death, show that Manus
was hit by some iron pieces. His body
was bruised in several places from the
fall of earth where he was thrown.
Manus was well known In Henryetta.
He was called "Big Frank," was a fa-
vorite and a well-behaved young man.
He was unmarried. His home was
somewhere in Texas. He was a Span-
ish war veteran and was several yean
in the Phillippines. A brother living
at Dennison is expected to arrive.
Mr. Bradley is also well known at
Henryetta. He was for several years
a plumber. He is a married man and
known as an excellent workman. He
has lived there for several yean. Mrs.
Bradley went to his bedside at a
boarding house near the scene of the
accident in an automobile immediate-
ly upon the news of the accident
reaching town.
PRESIDENT J. H. CONNELL OF A.
& COLLEGE OUSTED
Final action toward the removal of
J. H. Connell as president of the A.
a?d M. college at Stillwater was taken
by the board of agriculture Saturday
when it passed a resolution, authoriz-
ing J. F. Darby, of Muskogee, member
of the board, to proceed at once to
Stillwater and rematox In'charge 0f
the institution until a temporary or-
ganization is perfected.
"Mr. Darby left Oklahoma City Sun-
day. It is expected that he will select
some member of the faculty to act as
president until such time us the board
names a permanent successor to Con-
nell.
The board also passed a resolution
declaring that salary claims qf Coun-
cil and other deposed members of the
faculty of the A. & M. college would
not be honored for time later than
May 3. At that time the mandate of
the supreme court declaring the pres-
ent board to be the legal body became
effective, and the baord takes the posi-
tion that the resignation of Connell
and other members of the faculty de-
manded some time ago, also became
effective at that time.
AMERICAN SHIP LANDED REBEL
ARMS WITHOUT INTERFER- I
ENCE 1
Information reached Washington,
D. C., late Friday that the American
schooner, "Sunshine," from Galves-'
ton, Texas, had landed amunition at
Tampico for the constitutionalists
without interference upon the part of
the United States.
State and Navy department officials
refused to verify the reports but from
other sources it was learned that the
United States government at Wash-
ington knew of the presence of the
"Sunshine" off the coast of Tampico
with arms for several days. In view
of the fact that there has been much
apprehension as to the landing of
amuniaion at this Mexican port, the
delivery of the amunition without in-
terference was regarded with signifi-
cence.
With the Cuban steamer, "Antilla,"
enroute to Tampico with arms for the
Carranza, there has been much specu
lation as to what the United States
would do if the Huerta forces would
attempt a blocade of the port. Every
indication, however, is to the effect
that the United States will maintain
its attitude that Tampico is an open
port.

secured to attend to the giving away
of the goods. When they arrived on
the scene the store was packed with
little tots ranging in years from three
to twelve and carrying anugly ir. their

three inches to three feet. It was in-
