Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 21— Since
the street car strike was Inaugurated
every Indication points to a turbulent
time before the thing Is ended, as
the men give every appearance of
determination to gain their point re-
gardless of the means to be em-
ployed. With yesterday and today
martial law has almost prevailed
throughout the city, but the riots con-
tinue on every hand and are of the
most violent order. At the break of
day this morning there were over a
thousand men on the streets.
The first attempt to operate the
cars was met with the strongest op-
position by the strikers and their
friends, resulting in the strikers scor-
ing a victory in the districts where
the effort of yesterday was dupli-
cated. The heavy fog that hung over
the city early In the day proved of
great benefit to the police in main
talning order. A general strike is
now threatened, in which case every
industry in the ctiy wnere union men
are employed will he tied up com-
pletely.
Over COO arrests have been made
since yesterday and the hospitals are
crowded with the injured, there being
over 100 now confined in them, three
of whom are regarded as being la-
tally injured. Thousands went to
their places of work this morning on
roller skates, wh..e others pressed
into service wagons, buggies, auto-
mobiles and everything that had a
carrying capacity of any kind. The
drivers of various kinds of vehicles
are reaping a harvest by chaiging
high farces. Over 500 strike-breakers
have been imported into tue city
from other places. The street car
company has issued notices in which
the strikers are charged with being
responsible for the rioting that has
taken place. This the men deny.
All the saloons have been ordered
closed up at ti o'clock tonight. The
subway and elevated roads are run-
ning regularly, there being no trouble
between these companies and their
employes. The surface lines are bad-
ly crippled, but few cars are being
run and when they are started they
stoned by the strikers and In
many cases are compelled to return
to the barns for safety. The north-
eastern section of the city is the
worRe affected from the strike.
The street car company admits
that 4,000 men have gone out on a
strike, while the unions claim that
there are 100,000 who have left their
places and are now lined up with
the strikers. The first sympathetic

PARLIAM ENT OPENS
WITH MUCH POMP

London, Feb. 21—The king opened
parliament this morning with great
pomp, while a million persons are
said to have lined the streets. There
was an immense crowd in the vi-
cinity of the halls of parliament.
A solid line of guards lined the
streets through which the procession
passed.
The house of lords seemingly real-
ized that their fate was near and
fairly outdid themselves in splendor.
The society folk were out in full
force and the galleries were filled
with a brilliant throng. At 10:30 a.
m. the king, wearing the field mar-
shal's uniform, entered with the
royal family, and on his ascending
to the throne, the ceremonies began.
The king's speech was squarely on
the side of the premier, Asquith. and
the most advanced members of the
coalition party. He recommended
that a proposal be presented to par-
liament giving the commons the un-
divided authority over the finances
and predominance over all legisla-
tion.

CGME THIS WEEK
A number of Shawnee boosters are
interesting themselves in the propo-
rtion to have a league ball learn !
here the coming season, and somo
time this week it is probable there1
will be a proposition made, the at - j
ceptanco of which will put Shawnee
in an established league, without the
expenditure of a cent for the fran-
chise. J. Harvey Maxey and otners
have become interested in the base- ■
ball question, arguing that when the ,
crowds begin to flock to Shawnee,
there should be some way provided
for their entertainment.
The News is informed that a berth
in the Western association, now com-
posed of Muskogee, Sapulpa, Bartles-
ville, Tulsa, El Reno, Guthrie, Enid
and Independence, Kan., can be so-
ured for Shawnee. A meeting to
consider the matter may be called
within the next few days.
The good that a league ball team
will do for any city, simply as an ad-
vertising feature, cannot be over-
estimated. It has been suggested
that the development company and
the traction company get together on
a proposition to provide baseball
grounds, it being assured that a lca-
|gue team will be organized here if
such a step is taken. Mayor Stearns
and a number of the leading real
estate and business men have taken
up the idea and are willing to guar-
antee its success.
"The time is most opportune for
Shawnee to get into the league," is
the consensus of opinion, and if in-
dications are not misleading the
"Shawnee Packers" will play ball for
Shawnee the coming season.

Chandler. Okla.. IFel). 21.—"Better
not investigate the grandfathers too
closely," is the advice given the
democrats by Judge Wilberforce
Jones of Davenport, in an open let-
ter to the Chandler News-Publicist,
this week, as follows:
Editor NewsJPublicist: Our great
and good governor has been accused
by a lot of legislators, who are ma-
liciously disposed to probe about in
other people's business, with misap-
propriating a goodly sum of the
people's money, by unlawfully dip-
ping Into the treasury of the state
and handing it out to Tom, Dick and
Harry. It is a well-known fact that
our great governor is always willing
to "do unto others as he would have
others do unto him," but always anx-
ious to do the other fellow first. He ,
took it into his head that a negro 1
whose grandfather had been held a i
slave by the democrats of long ago
was not a lit perBOn to have and en- j
Joy the right to vote.
He wanted to take the ballot away |
from the 'nigger," as he affectionately i
calls the colored man, hut did not ^
kno'V exactly how to go about It so
leave no bad taste in the,
mouth after it was done. So he
called to his assistance a man over
at Muskogee named Hutchins, a man
who had been previously indicted
along with the good governor in the
federal court, charged with defraud-
ing the Indians out of a big bunch
of town lots at Muskogee, and laid
the matter before him.
Hutchins went to work, and after
much holy prayer and meditation,
called 'upon the governor and ren-
dered his opinion as to "how to de-
prive an American citizen of his
right to vote without leaving a bad
odor behind or In the mouth of the
man who did the depriving." The |
legal opinion of the man Hutchins'
runs like this:
"Dear Governor: I have gone into,
this question of removing from the
Oklahoma 'nigger' his right to vote
quite elaborately and exhaustively,
and have found that each and every'
coal black nigger had a grandfather1
who was also coal black. I have j
also found that his grandfather afore- j
Bald did not hav>? any right to vote ,
In his day and time, but was held'
in bondage, beyond a doubt, by some
enterprising democrat, until one Abe
Lincoln, a republican, without the
consent of the aforesaid enterprising
democrat, gave this nigger's father
liberty. Hence It Is my deliberate
Judgment that a coal black nigger
Bhould not he allowed to vote. I
have also found that there are many
niggers who are not coal black, which
would indicate that their fathers may-
have been, and doubtless were, white
democrats, and in which case It will
be well, when such a nigger presents
himself at the polls for the purpose
of voting, to pass him along without
too much questioning concerning his
grandfather. I also recommend this
precaution to save some possible
humiliation.
"As to the New Jerusalem plan for
locating the state capital, I would
suggest and respectfully recommend
that you accept the $20,000 offered
you by Oklahoma City, move your
New State Tribune over there and
boost Oklahoma City, as it will be
money in your pocket.
"For the opinion herein rendered
I charge a fee of $500, which can
properly be handed me from the
fund appropriated for the governor's
office.
"Your friend and co-Indicted,
"HUTCHINS."
The governor paid his friend
Hutchins the $500 as requested, and
says the services rendered was well
worth the money and asks thp med-
dlesome legislators and the people
generally what they are going to do
about it. I'll be cussed if I know
governor, Just what will be done
about it, as the majority of the legis
lators are afraid of your big stick,
steam roller, and also your stink pot
However, we will see what we will
see, about November, 1910. W. I.

Washington. D. C., Feb. 21.—The
earnest efforts on the part of the of
fleers and members of the George
Washington Memorial association, It
Is believed, will soon result In the
realization of the purpose for which
this society was organized, namely,
the erection of a building in the Capi-
tal City, to be known as the "George
Washington Memorial Association."
Besides receiving the hearty sup-
port of a number of state govern
ments, and numerous Individuals
prominent In official circles, the work
is being encouraged by no less a per-
sonage than President Taft. At a
meeting to be held In Washington
on Saturday, Feb. 19, the president
and Senators Lodge and Hepburn
will deliver addresses. JUBtlce Har-
lan of the supreme court presided.
The plans of the association re-
quire that a fund of $2,500,000 he
raised; two million of which will he
devoted to the erection of the build-
ing and the remaining Ave hundred
thousand to Its maintenance. Certain
secllons of the building will be
turned over, free of charge, to socie-
ties of a patriotic, scientific or edu-
cational character for their national
international conventions. The
Washington Academy of Sciences and
its affiliated societies, and the Na-
tional Academy of Sciences are to
have their permanent headquarters In

thi;i building, and probaoly a number
of the larger patriotic societies.
It is the purpose of the organiza-
tion to carry out in the highest
sense the desire Washington ex-
pressed in his farewell address:
"Promote, then, as an object of pri-
mary importance, institutions for the
general diffusion of knowledge." He
| also urged "the promotion of science
| and literature."
Aside from the large personal con-
tributions which It is expocLil will
be received from certain sources, a
unique plan lias been formulated for
the purpose of gathering small con-
tributions, in order that the building
may be more of a national tribute
to our first president. Circulars have
been sent to school teachers all over
the country asking that they request
pupils to contribute 10 cents each
for this purpose or project, and It
Is expected that an enormous sum
will be raised in this way.
Those desiring to become members
nf puanclatlon must pay n en-
trance fee of $5, which will cover
the dues for the first year. The an-
nual dues are $2, and a life member-
ship costs $100.
