Another tall boy—an light story i
building this time—will soon grace]
the Muskogee skyline. The New
Phoenix Clothing company will erect
the new buildng on the southeast
corner of Fourth street and Broad-
way, the contracts for the loan and
construction work were signed yes-
terday and actual work will com-
mence in less than a month.
The new building will have a front-
age of 50 feet on Broadway and 114
on Fourth streit. It will be con-
structed of reinforced concrete and
the outside will be finished in red
pressed brick and stone trimmings. In

and Mrs. Stephens Bridges, mother of
Mildred Bridges, followed her on the
witness stand.
Mrs. Bees, In concluding her testi-
mony. said that Stephen Bridges, who
alleges that See mistreated his daugh-
ter, was at one time appointed "Pres-
ident of the Absolute Life Cult," his
duties being of a business nature. At-
torney Cantwell asked If Bridges had
not made two contributions of *1,-
000.00 and $500.00 respectively to the
cult, but Mrs. Recs was not allowed to
answ'er. She was allowed to state,
however, that Bridges -made
fifty different contributions.
Mrs. Bridges testified that she was
responsible for Mildred, but that the
-ill was left at See's flat with the con-
sent of her father. Mildred heard
the "Book of Truth" read publicly.
Who I* Hazel?
Considerable testimony was heard
in an endeavor to clear up the mys-
tery surrounding "Hazel Danner,"
whom the defense claims is u myth.
A suit is pending against See in which
George Danner asks for $50,000.00
damages for the alleged abduction and
mistreatment of his daughter. Mrs.
Bridges said she had been a convert

Police captain Max Danner took
the witness chair long enough to
state that he had no brother named
George. The next witness on this
point was John F. Rosen. Bosen said
that he talked with George Danner
about filing the suit, and that alter it
had been filed he was called on the
phone by Francis J. Callahan, one of
the altornevs for See's defense. Calla-
han. he said, sought to compromise
the damage suit. He asserted that
Hazel Danner was not a myth, but

Two large elevators will carry pas-
sengers to the six floors which will
be rented for offices and a private
elevator will be used for service on
the other floors. The basement, the
first floor, and the greater portion of
the second floor will be reserved for
one firm. The New Phoenix Clothing
company will probably occupy this
space although this Is not certain.
The fact that to date fourteen renters
have applied for space on the ground
floor may result in a change of the
company's present plans.
The building will be completed by
the first of Feoruary. It will be the
first large building in Muskogee
which will have only one store room
on the ground floor. On the second
floor of the building a large chll
dren's play room will be Installed and
In addition a rest room for ladies is
planned. A private stairway will
lead to the portion of the building to
be occupied by the store and another
will lead to the offices. There will
be fifteen rooms on each floor above
the second and this will leave a large
space for halls and toilets.
The money has been secured in St.
Louis and the representatives who

mediately to headquar'srs and the
money Is ready at any time net led.
C. H. Sudholter has already prepared
the plans for the building and con-
tractors have been figuring on them
for some 'me. No sooner had the
loan been closed than the contract
for the construction worl- was award-
ed to the Manhattan v onstructlon
company an., orders given to push
the work. The building will cost
when completed, in the neighborhood
of $200,000.

Kid Kelley, the "lost" prisoner, ever

United States government and the

.'he tender was made upon the In-
struction of Fed,ral Judgo Campbell

Stokes' Good Advice.
In the letters from Stokes to Misa
raham, given out tonight, ther? were
nany bits of advance advice for the
oung woman. One sent early In De-
ember, 1809, warned her that the
tage held but "a heartless social
Ife" and urged her Instead to "marry
om. rich young fellow whose com-
pmienshlp will be worth more than

INTERNAL EXPLOSION.
Relief from the most disastrous hot
wave In history came to the parched
and blistered country yesterday and
rain fell here and there throughout
the nation. Boston, Mass., and Miles
city, Mont., thousands of miles apart,
Jointly held the standard and official
government record for tho day with
an even hundred decrees.
At Bacone college near this city the
mercury In the government ther-
mometer reached 103 degrees. To-
wards nightfall however the mercury
dropped rapidly and at six o'clock
stood at the mark of 90, the low point
for that hour in two weeks. During
the twenty-lour hours It fell as low
as 73.
One Death From Heat.
Although yesterday was the coolest
day locally since the hot wave begin
it marked the recording of the first
victim of the heat. Little Stella Hul-
sey, the five-months-old daught r of
Mr. and Mrs. M. 3. Hulsey, 402 South
C street, died of complications due
directly to the oppressive weather,
Her little twin sister, Vella Hulsey,
was also dangerously 111 yesterday
from the same causes that claimed
her sister but the attending physician
said last night that she will recover.
The Huisey's are not wealthy In
worldly goods and the neighbors yes-
terday lnt a helping hand In lajing
the little one at rest. One friendly
woman made the shroud, ai'.other
helped furnish the coffin, still an-
other the hearse. A prominent phy-
sician Is donating his services and it
Is through his efforts that the dead
baby's twin sister will be saved.
The first serious prostration of tne
summer within the city limits oc-
curred yesterday afternoon when
Charles A, Edwards of Tulsa, a man
sixty years of ag\ collapsed at the
top of the stairway ll. the city hall
He was carried to the first floor
where city officials and clerks with
Ice, water and fans worked over him
until an ambulance arrived to tak
him to a hospital. The attending phy-
sician last night reported that he
would recover.
Little Suffering ller >.
Though the temperature during the
entire hot wave has continually regis-
tered above the hundred mark In
Muskogee the humidity has not been
oppressive and there has been
comparatively little suffering.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 6.—A
board of naval officers, experts In
plosives Is being selected by the navy
department to study the hull of the
battleship Maine In Havana Harbor
as the water Is pumped from the
cofferdam now surrounding the
reck.
Because of the necessarily slow
progress of the work, weeks will
probably elapse before the experts
ill be able to examine the Keel of
the former warship, nut the board
ill proceed to Havana as soon as its
personnel Is made known and will
main with the work until it is fin-
ished.
The navy department officers are
nvlncod that the examination will
rove the correctness of the Sampson
)oard, which dtclded the destructive
xplosion which sunk the Maine was
aused by a torpedr or mine, and
hat the explosion of the ship's maga-
zines followed.

I.ooper Immediately declined to re-
sign. He stated that to do so would
an admission of guilt and that lie
Is Innocent of any wrong.
Mr. Looper last night In speaking
with a Phoenix reporter said, "There
absolutely nothing to It."
County Atorney W. E. Dlstney al-
ready has prepared a petition for a
suit to oust Looper from office whleh
le will submit to the county commis-
lon^rs today. The law requires that
any such complaint must be signed
by the commissioners.
The county attorney's ouster peti-
tion sets forth that Looper In June
made a report of the month previous,
attaching to the report his check for
$i;21 In lieu of cash. Just what be-
came of the check is not known to
the county officials. This month ho
made a similar report, the drafted
petition says, attaching a check for
$•',01.
The petition alleges that the money
was not turned over to the county
until early this week when Mr. Looper
made good the entire amount. Tha
county therefore has not lost a cent
unless It be computed as interest no
the money.
For sometime past because of the
uncertain condition of the lees and
snlarv fund county officials have not
received their salaries and this fact is
thought to have hail something to do
with Looper s methods of making his
reports.
Actions .XgaliiHt Justices.
County Attorney Disney yesterday
also tiled suits against two other
county officers, Justice Mel Bailey and
Justice W. S. Wolfenberger, Justice of
the peace, to recover fees whlcn tho
petitions allege they drew and to
which they were not lawfully entitled.
The petitions were prepared the day
before but were withheld that Bailey's
accounts In the banks of this city

Justice, however, received word of the
