The Katy Tracks From Fallis to Guth-

Oklahoma City, Nov. 15.—Ed L.
Peckham, vice president and general
manager of the Denver, Enid & Gulf
railroad, spent yesterday afternoon
and evening In conference with mem-
bers of the terminal association com-
mittee. liar. Peckham arrived in his
*l ecial car, the "Wanderer," on the
noon Santa Fe and will return to his
home in Enid today.
"1 am still waiting to Lear what is
to be done in regard io terminal as-
sociation," he said last night. "Fur-
ther than that there is nothing new.
We have under consideration the ex-
tension of the road from Guthrie to
Shawnee and thence on southeast in
the event that the terminal associa-
tion bonus here cannot be closed.
Should the extension from Guthrie
to Shawnee be built, we would use the
Katy tracks from Guthrie to Fallis
and build on from that point.
"Last week the citizens of Barber
county, Kas., voted the sum of $100,-
000 as a bonus for the construction
of the Denver, Enid & Gulf through
that county. The connection with the
Union Pacific line in that state will be
made either at Hays City or Russell.
We expect to complete the extension

Lawton, Okla., Nov. 15.—Forty-four
fartners of Greer county were Indicted
by the grand jury in connection with
an alleged demonstration against the
negro cotton pickers who have come
from the south to help pick the im-
mense cotton crop. This occurred
two weeks ago, when it is alleged
certain men armed themselves to
drive out the black cotton pickers and
were stopped by the authorities. No
trouble was found in arresting the
entire number, as they are all re-
spected citizens.

PRESENT MEMORIAL
TO THE PRESIDENT
A very interesting rumor reached
the city yesterday relative to plans
which It is maintained the M. K. & T.
Railway company is maturing.
According to the story th« railw .y
company will ballast its line thorough-
ly between Oklahoma City and Shaw-
nee and operate an interurban ser-
vice of Union Pacific gasoline motor
cars.
The plan looks feasible, possible
and would doubtless prove profitable,
but there is about the story just a
sufficient quantum of improbability to
give it the appearance of a false rumor
set afloat to cast a damper upon any
nterurban railway propositions that
nay be pending
However, the M. K. & T. is making
Oklahoma the focus of some prodig-
ious projects and almost anything
credited to that company is nowadays
received with credence.
Just think of having four or five
trains a day on the Katy line between
Oklahoma City and Shawnee. It cer-
tainly sounds good.
Local officials know really nothing
of the plan further than that it is ex-
tremely probable. The Katy is after
iraffle and there is little doubt that
she intends to make her service so
good that traffic is bound to come.
Should these shuttle trains be put on
west of Shawnee, there is no doubt
that a daily service will be established
from Shawnee to the main line at
Atoka.
SINGLE STATEHOOD EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE CALLED ON ROOSE-
VELT AT NOON TODAY.
The Resolution Passed By the Last
Mass Convention With 1,000 Dele-
gates Present, fri Hands of
Chief Executive-
Washington, Nov. 15.—A delegation
representing the joint statehood exe-
cutive committee of Oklahoma and
Indian Territories arrived Monday and
called on the president by appointment
today at noon. The committee waB
introduced by Senator Cullom, and
presented to the president the memo-
rial adopted by the convention held
in Oklahoma City last July, indorsing
Joint statehood for the two territories.
They also will ask the president to
exert his Influence toward disentan
gling the consideration of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory from that of
Arizona and New Mexico In statehood
legislation In his message to the com-
ing congress.
C. G. Jones, of Oklahoma City, chair-
man of the Joint convention, presented
the memorial. With him are Fred
Parkinson, of Wagoner, I. T.; D. P.
Marcum, Woodward, O. T.; S. G. Vic-
tor, Afton, I. T,; U. S. McCaul and
William Johnson, Bartlesville, I. T.
C. E. Hunter, Chickasha, I. T., and
T'aptain Frank Frantz, whom the presi-
lent said he would appoint governor of
Oklahoma, arrived in time to join the
lelegation when It calls at the White
louse.
VLADIVOSTOK IS
FIRED BY BIOTEBS
Speaker Cannon is quoted as favor-
ing statehood legislation this yeif'
and favoring one state for Oklahoina.
and Indian Territory and one state
for a combination-of New Mexico and
Arizona. The last election returns
look like another Democratic house
to Cannon in the near future. In such
an event he sees two states being
made of Oklahoma and Indian" Ter-
ritory and two of Arizona and New
Mexico. This is exactly the reason
he gives for statehood action by this
congress.
In the light of the fact it would be
no surprise If It should be put off a.
year. That would give time to sue
about the next congress, but Cannon
predicts that statehood legislation will
be completed oarly in March.

TAFT BACK
FROM CANAL
St. Petersburg, Nov. 15.—A tele
gram from Vladivostok today states
that the whole town and port ar on
Ire. The rioters have applied the
torch in all parts of the city. It is
believed that conditions there are
more horrible than the government ad-
mits, and that the number of killed
will run into the thousands.
Vladivostok is the port in northern
Manchuria which the Russians man-
aged to hold out of the war, the Japs
making no attack on it. The fact that
winter is on there, together with the
scarcity of supplies, will make the
burning of the town and port a terrible
calamity to the people.

Washington, D. C., Not. 15.—Secre
tary Taft has returned from his trip
to the Panama canal, and today made
an early call on the president.
"Try, try again," is not always a
good creed. It will not avail for the
man who is trying to sell or rent his
house solely by the use of a placard
in the window. In such cases you
haven't really tried at all until you
have advertised. •
