Henry Woodward, an Ada Merchant,
K i 113 Brother-in-Law
ADA: Gus Pool, un old resident of
Ada, ..as shot and killed by his
brother-in-law, Henry Woodward, ior
many years one of Ada’s most promi-
nent business?; men.
The shooting took place in the main
street. c.f the town. Pool died in-
stantly. lie did not speak after he
fell. An examination of the body
shows that the bullet penetrated the
dead man’s heart.
Woodward surrendered to the town
marshal. I-Ie refused to make any
statement.
Pool and Woodward were life long
friends, up to about two months ago.
Woodward was at the head of the
Woodward Hardware company, which
has been in poor financial circum-
cumatances of late. Pool was em-
ployed In the store and he went to
the rescue of the hardware concern
when failure seemed Imminent. He
tided the business over a short time,
but past due claims began soon to
appear. Then Pool insisted that he
bo reimbursed for the money he had
put into the concern. A settlement
was not. made and two months ago
Pool brought suit against his brother-
in-la w, asking judgment for $1,600
for salary due and money advanced.
Since that time, the personal rela-
tions between the two men have been
bitter.
They met on Main street. Without
a word, Pool, it is asserted, struck
at Woodward. Woodward dodged
the blow and, drawing a revolver,
shot Pool through the heart. The
body of Pool was taken to an under-
taking establishment, where an in-
quest was held. *
The dead man was forty-five years
cf age and a bachelor.
Woodward is fifty years old, mar-
ried and has four children.
Memphis.—The many prominent
families of Tennessee who were en-
tertained at Hundred Oaks, the his-
toric country home of Former Gov.
Albert S. Marks, near Winchester,
Term., during the life of that states
man would hardly recognize the beau-
tiful old place should they visit it
again. The stately oak trees have
never been touched by the ax and
the outward appearance is about the
same as it was when Gov. Marks en-
tertained dignitaries there so lavish
ly. but the interior has seen a revolu-

FRANK CARVAN IS MAN WHO
PREPARES CASES.
WILL RECONVENE AUGUST 5, IF
NOT SOONER
Weeks and Months of Work Are Often
Necessary to Prepare for Trial
That Lasts but a
Few Days.
A# THU.
New York.—There was a trial in the
criminal courts building a short time
ago in which it took two days to pre-
sent the evidence to the jury. It was
a (rial of some importance to the com-
munity and for that reason there was
some comment on the speed with
which it was disposed of. Nothing was
said about the time that hud been
taken in preparing the case from the
standpoint of the prosecution. As a
matter of fact, two members of the dis-
trict attorney's staff had been engaged
for two months in examining wit-
nesses and getting tile evidence in
shape.
When the public hears ef a trial that
lasts two weeks, or perhaps six weeks,
little attention is paid to the days and
weeks there are put in whipping the
case into shape.
There is a young man in the district
attorney's ollice to-day who has had
practically sole charge of preparing
live of the most important criminal
cases in recent years. He Is Francis
P. Garvan, an assistant district attor-
ney. It Is no exaggeration to say that
he has had a wider knowledge of the
instdo history of the Nan Patterson
murder trial, the second Roland B.
Mollneux trial, Albert T. Patrick's
tight for life, the Dodge-Morse mar-
riage and divorce tangle and the Thaw
case than any other one man.
It has been his job to get these eases
ready for presentation to the jury, and
GUTHRIE: At five o’clock Monday
evening the Oklahoma constitutional
convention adjourned to August 5,
1907, unless called in the meantime
by President Murray or Secretary
John M. Young.
The delegates sang “Old Kentucky
Homo," "God Be With You Till We
Meet again," and then to the tune of
"Ach Mein Leiber Augustine,” some
of them shouted that Haskell would
be the first governor. While this was
being sung, Delegate Clint Graham of
Marietta was calling "hats" from the
rear end of the hall, and immediately
when the parody was completed Ham
Bee of Ardmore mounted the plat-
form and sang in reply to the Mask
ell "anthem” but using the same
tune, "You've Got Another Guess
Coining.” The Rev. M. Williams of
Buffalo then pronounced tho benedic-
tion, all tho delegates joining in re-
penting the laird's prayer.
The sonvention Just before adjourn-
ing: adopted the election ordinance
and that providing for separate Bub-
mission of statewide prohibition, the
vote being 65 to 0.
The early adjournment was secured
by each of the delegates engrossing
tho municipal and commissioners'
subdivisions of his county. During
a part of the afternoon two clerks
were reading at the same time, one
the election ordinance and one the
prohibition measure.
It was voted to have 500 printed
copies of the election ordinance sent
to each delegate for use during the
campaign.
Delegate Ledbetter secured the
aopdtion of a resolution giving into
the custody of Secretary Young all
the records and journals of the con-
vention and to President Murray all
the stenographic reports for the
printing of which he will contract.
Both these officials are commanded
to turn the property over tp the sec-
retary of state.
Delegate Johnson of Perry' intro-
duced a resolution providing that the
convention adjourn until August 5,
that they be subject to the call of
President Murray in the meantime.
A vote of thanks was extended to
Secretary Young, Ham Bee and E. C.
Patton for their services, for which
they refused to accept remuneration
from the delegates.
Dolega/te Ilausam of Coweta intro-
duced a resolution to present the pen
with which the election ordinance was
signed to Chief Justice Burford,
whose recent ruling necessitated the
entire change of the ordinance. Some
of the delegates feared, however, that
this might be taken as a Blap at the
Judge and the resolution was voted
down. Now many of the delegates
arxt wondering which action really
constituted a slap at tho court.
It was accidentally discovered tit it
tho resolution introduced and adopt-
ed In the committee of the whole on
November 21. accepting the United
States constitution, had never been
passed on third reading, and (he res-
olution was consequently dug up and
finally adopted. It was this resolu-
tion that brought about the pro-
longed debate in the convention in
regard to the federal constitution be-
ing supreme and paramount in the
new state. Die woras supreme and
paramount were finally out out. The
enabling act required that the federal
constitution be adopted.

John Ellmore, a cobbler of Altoona, Pa., say3 that he has discovered a
compound for burning ashes which will revolutionize the industrial world. He
says that tests have demonstrated that ashes treated with the compound make
p fire hotter and at the same time cheaper than the fire produced by the
burning of coal. Should the new process prove practicable, it is asserted,
the price of fuel, especially coal, will be reduced to but a fraction of its pres-
ent cost. Another advantage claimed for the new compound is that it almost
wholly does away with smoke.
Home of the Paulist Fathers.
Catholic church and Ihe interior of
the place has been changed to meet
the tastes of that sect. For many
years Hundred Oaks was, and. per-
haps, is yet, the handsomest home in
Tennessee, and its history is about as
interesting as the place is beautiful.
The castle, it might be called, sits
in the center of an elevated plat of
ground of about 30 acres, heavily
wooded. Oak predominates, hence the
name.
Some years before the war, the
Hunt family, one of tho wealthiest in
middle Tennessee, bought the place
and erected the first brick residence
built in that section. It was then a
t wo-story but pretty house. The civil
war brought conditions that broke up
the family fortune and the place was
purchased by Gov. Albert S. Marks
soon after the war. He moved there
and occupied It as his home, rebuild-
ing it at the same time. The place
was completetd as it now appears in
about 1S72. It was hundsomely finish-
ed in hardwood and the old English
hall contained one of the finest li-
braries in Tennessee. Gov. Marks
loved company and frequently had
many guests there for weeks at a
time. Some 17 years ago the place
passed to Gov. Marks’ son, Arthur,
who married Miss Mary Hunt, uniting
the lineage of the first owner with
the new. A few years later Arthui
Marks sold the place to the Paulist
Fathers, having been converted to
that faith, and it has been made the
principal retreat for the order in
America. Priests of that faith come
there from every quarter of the United
States, and spend their allotted time
in reconsecration services and rec-
reation.

Mines on West Coast Have Proved
Most Profitable—First of Arctic
Islands to Send Fuel
to Market.
DEDICATED MASONIC TEMPLE
SNIFF KISS ORIGINAL CARESS.
Washington.—The prospect bright-
ens that Spitzbergen may become a
source of anthracite of some impor-
tance. Tlie more the archipelago is
examined, the more promising, it is
said, are the coal mining prospects
along some of the coasts, and in a
number of the valleys. The railway,
which was built three years ago a lit-
tle inland from Advent bay to bring
coal down to the shore, is to be ex-
tended further into the main island to
tap new sources of supply recently
discovered. This is in about 78 de-
grees north latitude, or a little more
than 800 statute miles from the north
pole. In order to make the short rail-
road already in operation available
the year around the miners built it all
the way under cover. Many tons have
been hauled down to the shore on
these tracks to await the arrival of
steamers that have carried several
loads of excellent coal to European
markets.
The chief discoveries of coal have
been made in Ice fiord, the deep in-
dentation of the west coast, and espe-
cially in Advent bay, where the rail-
road was built. Here about 50 miners
are living in small, warm dwellings.
They have already proved the practi-
cability of winter mining, and two
years ago they installed electricity to
illumine the long Arctic night in the
coal mine, and in their little settle-
ment, so that they may add to the coal
output every month in the year. It
was in Advent bay that Mr. Conway,
who made the first crossing of Spitz-
bergen, replenished the coal supply of
his little steamer 11 years ago.
The world will not be indifferent to
any important coal resurces which the
Arctic regions may afford. Some day
it may be drawing appreciable sup-
plies from Greenland, and news of
fresh discoveries of coal in any part
of the accessible Arctic will be heard
with Interest.
Meanwhile Spitzbergen, the first of
the Arctic islands to send coal to mar-

Scottish Rite Masons of National
Prominence Officiate at McAlester
SOUTH McALESTER: The Scot-
tish Rite Masonic temple was dedica-
ted here by Grand Commander Jas. D.
Richardson of Washington, D. C., in
the presence of 1,000 Masons. Ho
was assisted in the exercises by S »v-
ereign Grand Inspector General Har-
per S. Cunningham of Guthrie, and
his deputy William Busby of South
McAlester, Bestor G. Brown of
Kansas City and William H. Tal-
madge.
In addition to the formal exercises
Commander Richardson declared that
the temple was the most convenient
and most comfortable, and most ele-
gant. in all of its appointments of any
edifice of like character in the entire
southern jurisdiction, comprising 30
states and four territories.
The degree of the Chapter Council
and Consistory were conferred on a
class of 300 candidates, which will
swell rhe membership of this consis-
tory to about 1,000.
Noted Masons from Oklahoma, In-
dian Territory, Kansas, Toledo, Ohio,
Boston, Mas: ., and Baltimore, Md.,
were in attendance at the dedicatory
services.
The temple, including the furnish-
ings and stage scenery, has cost ap-
proximately $200,000 and will be used
exclusively for Masonic purposes.
Ancients Did Not Understand Art of
Osculation, Says Professor.
Philadelphia.—The climax of inter-
est at the recent session of the Ameri-
can Oriental society was reached
when Prof. Hopkins of Yale read his
paper on “The Sniff Kiss in Ancient
India.”
The paper was a history of the kiss
as we know it. The learned professor
traced it from its birth and proved
that the earliest peoples and earliest
times knew* it not. That there might
be no mistake he labeled the kiss of
to-day “the genuine kiss” and “the
perfect kiss.” Oddly enough, he finds
that the genuine kiss was invented by
a woman. The description is given
in the epic of ancient India which
treats of the science of love.
“She laid her mouth to my mouth,”
recites the poet, “and made a noise
which gave me pleasure.”
With that discovery, said Prof. Hop-
kins, grew' the fashion which has
since known no abatement.
“The early peoples,” he continued,
“knew nothing of the kiss in any form.
Had they known of it they would
have told something of it in the mass
of records that has come down to us,
for, surely, an act which conveys such
pleasure could not have been forgot-
ten.
“With the development of the gen-
uine kiss, the sniff kiss disappeared,
never to reappear. It had served its
purpose and soon was forgotten.”

FRANCIS P. GARVAN.
(Assistant District Attorney of New
York City.)
while that was being done he has had
charge of the homicide bureau in tho
district attorney’s office in addition to
prosecuting makers of fraudulent
claims against fire insurance com-
panies and taking the routine court
work which every member of Mr.
Jerome’s staff bus to do in his turn.
Mr. Garvan is a young man, a few
years past the 20 mark. He looks
younger almost boyish. An observer
of the Thaw trial pictured him as “tho
man behind the gun.’’ He was prompt-
ing District Attorney Jerome In some

In the office of Col. Janies, got in shape
all the evidence concerning the killing
of Stanford White by Harry K. Thaw
“I never knew of a case better pre
pared,” was one remark made by Mr
Jerome.
In every criminal case, especially
the ones that are taken up by the
newspapers, an enormous amount ol
anonymous information is sent to the
district attorney’s office. If the case is
properly prepared all this information
unless it Is absurd on its face, must be
Investigated. It has often been the
case that information furnished anony;
mously has been very valuable.
Scores of witnesses who think they
have something to tell are examined
only to show that they know nothin.?;
of value, but are seeking notoriety and
feel that by being a witness of some
kind they will be able to get into the
court every day and hear the trial.
Then there are cranks who look sane
enough, but have only theories which
they expound as facts. In every so
called “big’’ case these persons have
to be disposed of before any real work
is done, and all through the prepara-
tion of the case they have to be eliin
inated.
It requires enthusiasm, tenacity
cleverness, a knowledge of the law
and human nature and common sense
to prepare a difficult case. It is all
done in the office, where the limelight
is shut off. One of the essential things
is to keep from the public, and there-
fore the lawyers for the defendant,
what is going on—unless it helps the
prosecution's side of It.
Mr. Garvan possesses all those quaU
itles. He has a great capacity foi
work—work that means many sleep
less nights. To his friends be is
known as Pete, Mike or Pat Garvan a$
fancy dictates. Through it all he re
mains young—so young that a district
attorney from a western city, a vet
erau of many cases, remarked when
Mr. Garvan was pointed out to him al
one of the trials:
“So that is Garvan, who has beet*
mentioned In our homo papers so
often. Ho is a mere buy.’’
