THE CHANDLER TRIBUNE
VOL. xiv
CHANDLER, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1914
NO 41,
CHANDLER HIGH
DEFEATS OKEMAH
Chandler High added another vic-
tory here Thursday when she beat
Okemah in a fast game of football.
The weather was rather threatening
and the crowd was not so large as
usual on the Turkey day game. The
first part of the game was slow and
many fumbles were made on both
sides but after the first quarter both
teams began to gain speed and, take
it as a whole it was a fast game.
Okemah played very pretty ball us-
ing the open game entirely. Chandler
had the advantage for weight but the
visitors showed grit until the last.
The Okemah line showed good form
and perhaps was better than the back
field, although outweighed by the lo-
cal line they would hold until plays
were executed. In the Okemah back
field the one player that deserves
mention above all others is Raybourn
who played right half, Raybourn al-
though small and young was seen in
every play and was fighting as hard
at the close of the game as he was at
the beginning. He made the first
touchdown for the visitors.
For the locals those who were seen
most constant and in the game all
the time were Pribbenow, H. Curry,
Green, and T. Mears. This is the first
game this year that Green has played
up to his form of last year but he
was the surest to get his man Thurs-
day of any man on the team. W.
Curry at quarter played a good game
but was lax on calling the plays that
were best suited. Several of the best
plays and formations were not used
as much as they should have been. As
for playing he played the game but
he did not show form in generalship.
Little Billy Mears got into the game
when Stinnett sprained his ankle and
Billy bids fair to take his brother’s
place as a good man on the team next
year.
Okemah made 6 points during the
first half while the locals made 19.
Within two minutes after the second
half began Flanning for the visitors
intercepted a forward pass and scored
the second time for Okemah making
the score 12 to 19. This was their
last chance but the locals piled up the
count by scoring five touchdowns dur-
ing the last half, closing the game
with a score of 51 to the visitors 12.
Touchdowns for Chandler were made
by Green2, H. Curry 2, T. Mears 1,
Efaw 1, W Curry 1, Staubus 1. Three
goals were kicked, 2 by Mears and 1
by Staubus.
Forward passing was used very
successfully by the local team and
perhaps it can be said that Chandler
excelled the visitors in every depart-
ment of the game.
Pribbenow after playing a star
game until the last few minutes had
the misfortune to dislocate his right
shoulder. This little man played
through the game after having thrown
his shoulder out of place two days be-
fore the game. He never missed his
man and could be counted on in every
play. As for pluck and grit he surely
has it.
Chandler will lose four men this
year from the team. They are Pribb-
enow, Dean, T. Mears, and Green. The
less of these men will be felt but
there is a strong bunch left over
to start with next year and Chandler
should have a strong team. Ted Mears
is counted the strongest man on the
team when it comes to the season
average.
Considerable money has been lost
this season on the game as the crowd
Thanksgiving was not as large as
was expected. Arrangements will be
made to make this up some way.
The following is the Team’s record
for the year:
Chandler 0 Shawnee 94
Chandler 51 Stroud 0
Chandler 51 Cushing 0
Chandler 84 Bristow 0
Chandler 37 Prague 12
Chandler 0 Guthrie 6
Chandler 12 Edmond 2nd 21
Chandler 51 Okemah 12
WILLIAMS GAVE FOURTH AN-
NUAL DINNER TO NEWSBOYS
Oklahoma City, Nov. 28.—Governor
Elect Williams gave his annual din-
ner to the newsboys if Oklahoma City
entertaining 265 at the Lee-Huckins
Hotel. He had as honor guests, Con-
gressmen Carter and Thompson, Judge
Nathan Williams, of Chickasha, W. R.
Samuel, of Vinita, H. M. Johnson of
Chandler, T. C. Wyatt of Pottawat-
omie county and the Rev. M. F. Cow-
don of this city. All the guests named
made addresses.
Judge Williams in prefactory re-
marks to the boys said that he had
brought them to the dining-room
where the big men of Oklahoma eat
and where fashionable people con-
gregated in order that they might ap-
preciate the democracy of the State
and Nation and feel that they are
potential factors in the world. He
explained that he had secured mem-
bers of Congress and big men from
other parts of the State to indicate
the interest that Oklahoma takes in
her self-supporting boys.
The cheers that greeted the next
Governor on this, the fourth annual
occassion of his dinner to these boys,
were long, loud and earnest. The
talks that the men made to the boys
were full of helpful wisdom and
charitable fellow-feeling.
WYMAN MAXWELL NEARING
EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY
Wyman Maxwell was more than
happy in the possession of a beautiful
Bible, the gift of several members of
the I. B. S. A. in honor of his ap-
proaching eightieth birthday. On the
17th of this month he will reach the
eightieth mile stone of a most re-
markable life.
He is not only a Lincoln County
pioneer but is a western pioneer and
Oklahoma is, to him, a modern coun-
try. He was a member of the sur-
veying gang that run the line between
the United States and Canada. In
the great virgin forests of the north
west he has had experiences with wild
Indians, with storms, with famine and
fatigue, with gold hunting, etc., that
would make a large sized book more
interesting than many of the best
fictions.
He is now almost totally deaf and
a few years ago was run over by a
Frisco train and lost a leg. This in
itself would have killed most men of
even fewer years but this brave sol-
lier of fortune did not dispair or fal-
ter but began casting about for a
means of making a living.
He is a Christian and the gift of
his fellow church members made him
exceedingly happy.
JIM CROW LAW
GIVEN HARD JOLT
High Court Kills Sleeping Car Rule.
Special Accomodations to Whites
Declared Unconstitutional.
COUNTY COURT
HAS BEEN BUSY
GOOD ROADS WORK URGED.
Mr. Editor:
Now that the fuss and tumult of
the election is over, and the cotton
crop so nearly gathered, it seems to
me the time to direct the attention
of your many readers in a different
channel.
The fact still remains that our
public highways need the attention of
all good citizens no matter whether
they live in the country or the city.
Those who are satisfied with the re-
sults of the election should be all the
more willing to turn their time and
attention to the improvement of the
highways, and those who were not
quite so well pleased with the result
will find a solace in the work that
cannot be found elsewhere.
We have had a splendid season, and
a good crop and while the price has
not been what we feel it should have
been, yet this fact cannot be charged
to the soil or season, and we should
show our appreciation of these bless-
ings, by spending just a little of our
time and money making our country
a more desirable place to live in, and
line between Watson’s and Smith’s
farms, this will undoubtedly be the
Auto Road to Kendrick from now on,
as this was one of the J miles of
road between Chandler and Kendrick
that needed the work badly. This is
not all! Overseer Smith with the help
of J. W. Rafferty, J. Stewart, M. P.
Cupp and others have graded another
half mile of road, near the Scott
Pointer farm. A large amount 6f all
this work was donated by these men
who are dll enterprising farmers and
know the benefit of a good road.
Route No One.
Reports a new concrete bridge just
south of E. S. McCorkle’s farm. Mc-
Corkle, J. G. Evans and others have
done the work. If they will give Me
the reins he will soon have all the
bad places fixed out his way.
Overseer, Clyde Taylor, assisted by
Leonard Bridge, G. D. McKee, James
Leak and others have completed a
splendid piece of work on the line
between the Dickinson and Leake
farms on Route No. 5 this work |
greatly improves the road coming!
into town from the south and east.

Washington, Nov. 30.—A majority
of the supreme court Monday joined
in an opinion that the Oklahoma “Jim
Crow” law proviso permitting rail-
roads to furnish sleeping, dining and
chaircar accommodations only to the
white race was unconstitutional, but
they did not so decree because of im-
perfections in the petition on which
the case reached the courts.
The case was one in which five ne-
groes, claiming that the entire law
was unconstitutional, sought an in-
junction to restrain five railroads in
Oklahoma from enforcing it. The
Oklahoma federal courts dismissed
the petition, holding the law consti-
tutional. The majority of the court
affirmed the dismissal Monday be-
cause the negroes had not shown they
had applied to the railroads for ac-
commodations under the law or that
the railroads had notified them that
they would be refused certain accom-
modations.
Disagree on Technicality.
The majority through Justice
Hughes stated, however, that they
could not agree with the lower court
that the proviso as to sleeping, dining
and chair cars was constitutional. A
minority consisting of Chief Justice
White and Justices Holmes, Lamar
and McReynolds concurred merely in
the order of affirmance but expressed
no views on the constitutional ques-
tion.
In the opinion by the majority Jus-
tice Hughes stated that previous de-
cisions that laws for separate coaches
for the two races was constitutional
were not to be questioned. He then
set forth the reasons for the opinion
that the lower court was wrong in
holding the proviso constitutional.
“The reasoning is,” he said, “thal
there may not be enough persons of
African descent seeking these accom-
modations to warrant the outlay in
providing them. This argument with
respect to the value of the traffic
seems to be without mem. It makes
the constitutional ^right depend upon
the number of persons who may be
discriminated against, whereas the es-
sence of the constitutional right is
that it is a personal one. Whether or
not special facilities shull be provided
may doubtless be conditioned upon
there being a reasonable demand
therefor, but if facilities are provided
substantiality of treatment of per-
sons traveling under like conditions
cannot be denied.
Question of Individuality.
“It is the individual who is entitled
to equal protection of the laws and if
he is denied by a common carrier,
acting in the matter under the author-
ity of the state, facilities or conven-
iences in the course of his journey un-
der substantially the same conditions
as furnished to another traveler, he
may properly complain that his sub-
stantial privileges have been invaded.”
The justice then pointed out that
defect in the petition presented an
insuperable obstacle to the granting
of the injunction.
The court gave no intimation as tc
whether in a proper case it woulc
merely hold the “luxury” car sectior
unconstitutional or whether it woulc
decide that this section being uncon-
stitutional the entire law must fall.

BIG BARN BURNED.
About eleven o’clock Wednesday
night the big barn on Roy Hoffman’s
place next to Chandler was discover-
ed on fire and, being full of hay was
soon burned to the ground.
The hay, about 8,000 bales or more,
belonged to Harry Steer and Roy
Hoffman. The stock and implements
belonged to Steere. Loss is partly
covered by insurance.
There are three theories as to the
fire. Some think it spontaneous com-
bustion from the hay. Others think
it incendary and still others think it
accidental.
Two horses and a colt were burned,
all other stock was saved.

HIGH SCHOOL HONORS
GRIDIRON WARRIORS
Last Monday night the students of
the Chandler High School with the
assistance of the teachers of the high
school and several of iJiose from the
grades gave the football boys a ban-
quet at the Woodman Hall. Every
student in the high school was pres-
ent and did honor to the boys who
have fought so loyally for the honors
of their school. The school desires to
thank all who aided in the work and
assures all such that their assistance
was much appreciated.
This is the first time that the en-
tire school has ever undertaken so
big an affair, as was this banquet, in
the way of honoring her heroes. There
were one hundred and thirty plates
laid and there was plenty to eat and
to spare. The affair was well planned
and went off in a smooth manner.
The boys of the school each paid a
small sum of money and the girls
furnished plenty of good well cooked
food. There was chicken pie, buns,
coco, salads of all kind, pickles, ice
cream, cake and many other things
that go to make up a good banquet.
The room was well and tastily dec-
orated with penants of different
schools and states. There was plenty
of the red and blue which are the
school colors. Old Glory waved tri-
umphantly over the whole plan of
decoration.
Especially interesting was the pro-
gram of the evening which consisted
of music, readings and toasts.
The High School orchestra ren-
tk-red several selections which were
nuch appreciated, Elizabeth Bruce
sang a solo in her usual pleasing
manner, Inez Mascho read two selec-
tions that were well given, Zola
.Shaffer played a violin solo which
was enjoyed by all. Toasts were
given by Mr. Tope, Carney Dean,
Walter Curry, and Winnie Gilliam.
Mr. Tope told about football from
the coaches standpoint. He told of
several experiences he went through
when he played on the gridiron, his
talk was rather of a humerous nature
and was fitting for the occasion.
Carney Dean who was a star half
back on the team this year made a
short talk on the subject of “Our
Captain.
this season. Walter Curry, the cap-
tain of the team, spoke on the sub-
ject of “Football.” Winnie Gilliam
spoke on the subject of “The Girls
View of Football.” She deplored the
fact that there is no athletics for the
girls here but she said the girls were
proud of the boys who had defended
the honor of the school which all stud-
ents here are proud of.
At the close of the program “Jolly
Students” which is one of the school
songs was sung and after a rousing
“Hi Rickety” the banquet closed with
every student feeling that it had been
a great time.
Many thanks are extended to the
Woodmen for the use of the hall, to
the several lodges for the aid they
gave in furnishing dishes, etc., to
the several teachers of the town who
served the food, to Mrs. Holland for
her kindness in helping, to all the
ladies of the town who so kindly gave
assistance in many ways.
It was a great affair and one long
to be remembered in the history of
Chandler High School Every mem-
ber of the team should feel greatly
honored, and it should be an inspira-
tion to future teams of the school

ROBERTSON LOCATES
IN OKLAHOMA CITY
During the campaign Judge Rob-
ertson in a speech at Oklahoma City
announced his intention of locating at
that place. The following paragraph
from the evening paper at that place
indicates that Judge Robertson is now
a citizen of Oklahoma City.
Instead of returning to Chandler,
his old home, Judge J. B. A. Robert-
son, who was one of the defeated
Democratic candidates for Governor,
