TULSA, OK., Aug. 31.—(S-pecial)—
Dr. James L. Wilson, former surgeon
general of Francisco Madero's army
when Madero was opposing Diaz and
more recently surgeon for General
Orozco's forces, has returned to his
home in Tulsa after two years with
the rebel armios in Mexico. Ho es-
caped by 'traveling several hundred

ericans aid Germans and a United
States Mexican. The quartet had one
horse among them. Before they reach
ed Juarez they were overtaken by a
band of rebels and all their posses-
sions even to their shoes, were taken
away from them. Dr. Wilson then
proceeded to Juarez where he was

bands looting everything in sight and
taking lives recklessly. Every Amer- | =

Those who are left are being killed

no more of the life of an American
than they do of a dog. 1 have seen
them kill foreigners by fastening a

It is perfectly legal for the City
Commissioners or the Park Board to
ex>pend a portion of the $100,000 de-
rived from the sale of the Park bonds
for a bath house site and the action
of the City Commissioners who on
Friday accepted a site just east of the
Carnegie Library is perfectly legal
and regular according to a decision
rendered by Judge Huston in the
District Court yesterday when a
friendly test suit was filed by the
Commissioners against the members
of the Park Board.
City Attorney D. M. Tibbetts ap-
peared on behalf of the city com-
missioners and Judge J. H. Burford
represented the Park board. After
hearing arguments at length and evi-
dence to the effect that the parks
i were not a\arable for the bath houffo
j location on account of inaccessibility
sanitary conditions, sewerage, etc.,
Judge Hnston gave his decision.
This Settles it >'«w.
In the opinion of good attorneys the
matter is now fully settled and the
Park Board can prooee-d at once
with sinking a well on the newly
acquired site The decision of the
lower court will not be appealed from
and it Is very doubtful now whether
or not anyone can get into the Dis-
trict court now to prevent the accep-
tance of this site.
The Park Board does not look for
any such action and will ask for
bids for the sinking of a well im-
. mediately.
HE
also spoke, of the money evils of the
nation ai\d the remedy for them and
predicted the fall of the national bank-
ing law. Further he urged the dis-
continuation of some of the large num-
ber of courts in the state and nation.
OKLAHOMA 3RD jSUSGS SPEAKS m
OF
..WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—(Special)
—From the government statistics on
the subject for the past twenty years
it is shown that Oklahoma ranks third
among all the American state in the
miles of lailroads bpilt per 100 square
miles of area. The figure^ show that
there have been constructed 6:84 miles
or road for every 100 square miles In
the state. The record for some of the
courroundlng states is Arkansas 5.99;
Mlssi^iri 3; Texas 1.17. While this
state was biulding 6.84 miles of rail-
way for every square mile, the state
of Pennsylvania was biulding only 5.-
95; Illinois only 3.31, and California
only 2.17. The only two stale in/the
union whoese new line construction
exceed Oklahoma per square mile of
area were West Virginia and Louisia-
na, but in the former state the new
lines were largely coal spurs and in
the latter lumber spurs reaching out
for big saw mills and penetrating the
wilds for distances of many allies for
the sole purpose of hauling logs to
the mill.
Sidney Suggs, State Highway Com- j
mis8loner spoke last evening to a large
and enthusiastic crowd at the federal j
6quare. He urgently reequested the
leading men of the county to get to-
gether an dorganlze a permanent or-
ganization for the construction of
good roads and said that it stood to
reason that there would be no exten-
j slve roads built until this was done.
He congratulated the ladies of Lo-
gan county for organizing the first
Good Roads association for women in
the state.
He stated that If the people of Guth- j
j rie and Logan county had spent as j
j much money and energy in the biuld-
ing of good roads as they have in or-
ganizing various other enterprlces th<>
question of the capital removal would
never have come up as everything
would have led to Guthrie.

Chamber of Commerce is urged to

'As a result of a personal encounter
with W. H. Henbey of Perry, Okla.,

county jail here where he was brought
by Sheriff Bart Murphy charged with
murder and refused bail.
From meagre facts to be gained in
the case Henbey went to Mulhall on
Thursday and drove to Mapples' house
two miles south of Mulhall. After an
altercation Mapples ordered Henbey
out of his house. One word led to an-
other, Henbey was knocked to the
ground and a bad gash cut over his
eye. He seemed stunned by the blow
but in a few moments got up and drove
to Mulhall, taking the train to Perry.
Forty-eight hours later, death result-
ed.
Sheriff Bart Murphy was notified |
and went to Mulhall, arresting Map-
| -pies Friday afternoon. In a dying
statement Henbey said his death was
the result of Mapples' assfeult. A cor-
oners' inquest was held yesterday af- j
ternoon and the result was not an-
nounced.

Sunday afternoon.
