LINKED TO INDIAN TERRITORY
Mrs. William Thaw, Mother of New
York Murderer, Befriended the Poor.
MUSKOGEE: Indian Territory is
faking a special interest, in the Harry
Iv. Thaw case on account of his moth-
er, Mrs. William Thaw, who is one of
the friends of Indian Territory and is
widely known on account of her work
in encouraging education here.
It was Mrs. William Thaw who intro-
duced a system of circulating libraries
in the towns of Indian Territory many
years ago. with more or less success,
according to the local interest taken.
The money to purchase these small
libraries intended for the use of the
poorer class who could not secure
books, was donated by Mrs. Thaw. The
libraries were then placed in the keep-
ing or educator!? and missionaries who
agreed to keep them circulating from
one town to another as fast as their
usefulness in one town seemed to have
been fulfilled. There are remnants of
several of there libraries yet to be
found in several Indian Territory
towns.
The First Presbyterian church of
Wagoner is a beneficiary of Mrs. Thaw
and so is Henry Kendall College at
Muskogee, also a Presbyterian school.
j Carmen Banker Is leading Opponent
of Kx- Gov. Ferguson in Second
District Congressional Race.
I tions were allowed seats and votes in
! the convention which gave Ferguson
! a bare majority.
Mr. Geissler's friends, eighty-four in
i number, withdrew from the conven-
tion, assembled in another hall and or-
ganized another convention. Mr. Geis-
sler was asked to select forty-one del-
egates to the Geary convention and the
convention elected them. In the other
convention a committee of six was se-
lected to choose the delegates. Both
conventions adopted strong resolu-
tions. Ex-Governor Ferguson arrived
early, accompanied by five Blaine
county bankers, and they became very
active upon their arrival.
The break in the party ranks was
not without its dramatic features.
The operating was spectacular and
several mixups, which nearly ended in
a general row, were averted only
through the interference of some of
the better behaved.
Charges and counter charges of a
serious nature were hurled through
the air until the floor became the
scene of pandemonium, and several
nasty fist fights were nipped in the
embryonic stage.

that (here could l»c no douht about the
reault of the election, the only queatlon
being aa to the alxe of I he majority
againat It. However, the advocatea of
statehood are making a shrewd cam-
paign, supported by the federal office
holders as well as almost every pol-
itician who ho|»es to get ofDce In tha
new atate, and by the saloon and
gambling elements which were threat-
ened last winter with the wrath of
the federal administration if they aid-
ed In the continuance of territorial
conditlona. The Mexicans and half-
breeds aro also solidly in favor of
statehood, inspired by the belief that
(hey will be able to rule the altars of
fhe new state, and believing, curiously
enough, that their dignity and social
standing will be greatly increased un-
der the new order of things.
Like the negroes in the South dur-
ing the construction days, they be-
lieve that when they get things in
their hands the millennium will come.
On the other side, a large majority
of the white people of Arizona and a
considerable percentage in New Mexi-
co are solidfy opposed to joint state-
hood. The Arizonans point out that
their progressive American civiliza-
tion would be swamped by the Mejdb
cans and halfbreeds in New Mexico,
who Outnumber them nearly two to
one. Nearly 64 per cent of these
Mexicans cannot read or write, and
their ideas of government correspond
with their litera. y ignorance. A still
stronger ground for their opposition Is
that Arizona has nearly doubled the
assessed wealth of New Mexico, al-
though her population and indebted-
ness are 50 per cent less. In other
j words, Arizona would furnish double
' the assets to the new state while New
j Mexico would contribute all the liabil-
| ities, of debt, ignorance and unpro-
j gresslveness. Naturally enough, the
! business interests and the intelligent
white people of Arizona are strongly
opposed to such a bargain.

' the county, because it is on an addi-
I tlon to Oklahoma City, and not on Ihe

Prediction in Reference to Glenn Pool
Over Recent Cut.
TULSA; According to Robert Gal-
breath. principal owner in Glenn Pool
near Tulsa, the recent cut in the price
of oil by the Standard Oil Company
will have the effect of stopping all pro-
duction in the mid-continent field. The
price of 45 cents obtained before the
reduction yielded a small profit to op-
erators, but Galbreath says that at
42 cents the producers can do little bet-
ter than break even.
In wells where it is necessary to
use pumps. Galbreath claims that at
the present price production would be
at a loss.
