To Hold Overflow—Fare-
well ‘No Sprinkling* Order.
Three-foot rise In the N. Ca-
nadian at Yukon, which will
reach Oklahoma City sometime
Monday night, was reported of-
ficially by Commissioner J. C.
Walton, who motored to Yukon
Monday morning.
Walton's call to mayor's office
presaged the rise of the river
to five feet in the next two
days, from rains as far up the
river as Watonga. The ilowr
will give the city enough water
for three weeks, at least, and
prospect was that the summer’s
water crises was over.
City Changes Plans.
Gleeful city commissioners
Monday abandoned temporarily,
schemes to find emergency wat-
er supplies, and bent every ef-
ort toward increasing strength
of the sand-dam two miles be-
low the waterworks concrete
dam, to hold all water possible
from the renewed flow.
Officials believed Monday that,
with coming of the latest rains,
and indications of more down-
pours thru August, city’s fear
of real water famine was ended.
The N. Canadian will be rushing
over the dam in 2 4 hours, and
pumps will supply tho maximum
of needs; water regulations will
return to normal.
The present rise, strung out
along 100 miles of river .bottom,
will feed water works pumps as
fast as they can lap up the
flood for the rest of August.
Tho rise of two weeks ago re-
sulted from a cloudbust on a
small area that ran off in a day.
With cloudy weather and prob-
able showers reported for Okla-
homa, and lower temperatures
predicted for the mlddlewest,
indicationns were Monday from
local weather bureau that the
long - continued drought Is
broken.
Kain has fallen over north
and west Oklahoma the last two
days, El Reno, Enid, Cherokee
getting near two Inches, while
other districts felt the touch of
nearly an inch of rain.
Kansas corn belt Is getting
Its first heavy rain for two
months today. Late corn and
pastures will be greatly bene-
fitted.

CITY LINES FOR
INTERURBANS
That tho Oklahoma Railway
Company will spend $450,000
on a double-track system for
interurban lines wituin the city
limits, is the statement made
in a two-column New York Com-
mercial article, narrating the lo-
cal traction company's develop-
ment and accomplishments.
The announcement has not
been made by the company lo-
cally and Assistant General Man-
ager Hoopcs said Monday the
building would not bo begun
soon.
Result of the planned Im-
provement, tho article says, will
be to enable intern rba ns to
reach tho terminal station in
10 minutes, fr„m the city line,
where now, delays are caused by
mixing interurban and local
traffic. *
Tho Commercial article de-
clares tho ultimate* purpose of
the Oklahoma Railway Company
to he the linking of Oklahoma
City with every city within a
radius of 135 miles, by inter-
urban lines.
DISTRICT 2
EXAMS FAST
District 2 exemption board,
with 88 men to examine for
draft Monday, had its hands full
when call came t'o Dr. George
Hunter, city physician and board
member, to repot t to Ft. Sam
Houston for army medical ser-
vice immediately.
Hunter's successor as city
physician, to be named by Safer
Mark Kesler, will fill the place
on the exemption board. Mean-
while Dr. Roy A. Wotb, assist-
ant city physician, was examin-
ing 37 men who reported on
first call at 9 a. m.
With Lieut. B. B. Spillman,
recruiting officer, on hand to
start things, the 37 were strip-
ped and run thru the mill In
a body. Jt was expected results
of physical examinations would
be known by nightfall.
Spillman Measures.
John Gwin, 113 East lOth-st,
number 258, was first called.
He was measured and weighed
bv Spillman, who called meas-
urements to Paul M. Pope, board
member; then 36 others were
run thru and lined up in a row.
Dr. Webb and Spillman went
over the men minutely, and flat
feet was the big deficiency.
Men were then ordered dressed
and eye-sight and hearing tests
given. Pope took notes on each
man, and not until all notes
are assembled will It be known
who passed. Exemption claims
will then be noted.

EXAMINATION bELAYED
BY WOMEN TAXPAYERS
Special taxes were being col-
lected on third floor city hall,
where district two draft exams
were held Monday, and fact that
two women were paying taxes
delayed the exams several min-
utes. A policeman then was
stationed on second floor to
warn women back, until a big
canvas was stretched that ob-
structed the view of nude men
from the tax-payers.

New York, Aug. 6.—The old,
tense duel between a beautiful
woman’s eyes and “twelve good
men and true” will be fought
out again when Mrs. "Jack” Do
Saulles faces the Jury in her
trial for the murder of her hus-
band.
This siient contest of glances
between the handsome Chilean
woman and an American murder
trial Jury, will be more drama-
tic than any In American court
annals, except perhaps the Thaw
case scenes in which Evelyn
Nesbit battled tinder the cross-
questioning of the merciless Je-
rome.
For Evelyn Nesblt’s life was
not at stake. Mrs. De Saulles’
life Is.
Expert criminologists have al-
ways attributed Harry Thaw’s
escape from the electric chair
more to Evelyn Nesbit’s dramatic
revelation of her life story than
to the technical defense of emo-
tional Insanity. The beautiful
woman faced the jury and the
beautiful woman won.
This Is the almost unfailing
record of murder trial history.
Nan Patterson
Three juries failed to convict
Nan Patterson, whose feminine
charms had won her a place in
the original Floradora sextet, of
the murder of Caesar Young, a
New York bookmaker.
When Mrs. Gertrude Gibson
Patterson killed her consumptive
husband at Denver the odds were
all against her.
The rich man upon whose as-
sistance she relied was slow in
coming forward. But within two
months she was freed by the
first Jury upon which she turned
the battery of her glances.
Madame Caillaux, wife of the
French minister of finance,
frankly admitted her guilt in the
slaying of Gaston Calmette, edi-
tor of the Paris Figaro, and gave
her reasons. The French court,
not less gallant than American
Jurlc.i, freed her.
Child Question.
The question of who shall
have custody of little Jack De-
Saulles, aged four, while his
mother is In Mineola Jail,
charged with killing his father,
may bring the first court bat-
tle.
Mrs. De Saulles fears the man’s
relatives will poison her child’s
mind by depicting her as a mur- j
deress. Jack is at present with j
his father’s sister, Mrs. Caroline j
Degener. Mrs. De Saulles wants !
him brought to her cell, for at |
least a daily visit.
Forecasts today of Mrs. De j
Saulles trial, based on her pre- ;
liminary public statement, indi-
cate the names of many well-
known people will be dragged in.
In Mrs. De Saulles’ statement,
it is declared that Do Saulles
borrowed the money to go to
Paris and marry her, believing
her immensely wealthy. Whan
he discovered her fortune was
not more than $100,000, he

Monday, replied to Jim Beaty’s
accusation of improper handling
of the county road work.

Ada. Okla., Aug. 6.—While
Informers have revealed sufficient
evidence against the 225 cap-
tured W. C. U. rioters in this,
Seminole and Hughes counties,
to Justify federal charges of
treason against them, the an-
swers rioters themselves give to

That conscription was but a
small incident in the causes for

will be tho certain suppression
for all time of the Working

Young men who freely told au-
thorltlea here the secrets of the
W. C. U. and won their free-
dom thereby, declared that the
Semlnole-co rioters firmly be-

nation-wide revolutionary plan
