BOOMERS BY THE HUNDRED
lowering Along tho Cherokee strip
Some of Them Fear Fircarms.


ARKANSAS CITY, Aug. "a Hundreds of
eager and excited citzons and boomers hung
about the newspaper and telegraph offices
all night waiting for the proclamation of
the opening of the Cherokee strip. 1t was
rumored that the proclamation forbids the
run being made on horseback, and as nearly
every one is going in that way 1t is creating
great excitement. Other rumors were
started at intervals which kept thu excite
ment at fever heat, and arguments and
fights were frequent. Night was turned
into day, and hundreds of horsemen rode
up and down the streets yelling and giving
other evidences of their Joy.
There is a movement on foot among the
boomers to have the authorities issue an or
der forbdding the carrying of firearms by
anyone making the run. They claim that,
besides the liability of accidents, there are
lots of hotheads going in who are likely to
use their guns if things are not satisfactory
to them. Nearly 100 new outfits went into
camp on the Walnut and Arkansas rivers
yesterday. Even cattle owners seeking
stray beasts are forbidden to go on tue
strip by the soldiers.

In a Famous French
Museum.
Some of the Valuable Articles Pre-
served by the Theatre
Franchise.
Correspondence of THE MORNING CALL

One of the Paris museums richest in ar.
tistic souvenirs is that belonging to the
Theatre Francois. When the last cata-
logue was made in 1878 the museum con-
tanned not less than III oil paintings, sixty
three water colors, eighty marble statues,
six bronze statues. nine terra-cOtta figures
and fifteen statuetteS in biscuit de Sevres.
At the present time the museum possesses
more than $50 obiets dart, and among
these the most celebrated is the portrait OF
Moliere by Mignard. Moiere is repre-
sented as Cesar in the death of Pom
pey." There is another portrait of Moliere
Ia a comic role, and still another portrait
attributed to Tournieres.

century there are portraits of Baron by

Twice. in 1910 and 1864, Godfrey, the

two paintings, for there we see portraits

CAPTURED THE YARD.
Good Democrats Go On a Visit
to Mare Island.
Made Welcome by the Officials and
Shown ALI That There
Was to See.

VALLEJO, Nov. 1.-THE tug Fearless
of San Francisco visited the hayward at
Mare Island this afternoon having party
of distinguished excursionists on board.
The party in the main consisted of about
80 members of the Democratic Business
Mems Association of San Francisco, and a
large mum Der of their personal lady friends.
At the navy-yard the party was met by
Hon. Cam Whitthorne of Vallejo. who
welcomed the excursioDists and whose
guests the party remained during their
stay at the navy-yard.
a soon as landing was made the en-
tire party was escorted on board the moni-
tors Monterey and Monadnock, both of
which were moOred alongside the quay
wall. An hour was spent in inspecting
the two monitors, after which the visitors
were escorted to various parts OF the navy
yard and every point of interest was in
spected. The ladies were particularly in
terested in the huge hydraulic keel and
plate bending and armor-rolling plant re-
Gently erected. but as yet unhoused. Here
fully half an hour was devoted to the III.
spection of the huge rollers and monster
gears and power wheels. AS the party
divided in several sections Hon. Max Pop
per and President Mccarthy of the asso-
citation, escorted by Hon. c. Whitth0rne.
called on Commander Glass and Com
mander Howison, who assisted in showing
the party about the navy-yard. Many of
the members of the association expressed
admiration for the efficiency of the navy
yard, which surpassed their imagination.
Among the party was distinguished
shipbuilder of the East. This gentleman,
after spending two hours in inspection of
the various shops, in conversation with
your correspondent pronounced the equip
ment OF the Mare Island Maynard to be
equal 10 many of the most prominent ship
building yards of the country now filling
contracts for the Government. and In one
or two excelling the yards where cruisers
are now under way.
The same gentleman had no hesitancy
in asserting that with the present plant
there was no adequate reason why such
an efficient plant should not be utilized in
boats now authorized. Every facility was
on hand to do the necessary work. and it
was simply a waste of good money and a
burden ON the taxpayers of the country
to let the machinery rust in idleness.
After spending several hours in tours of
inspection the party returned on board the
Fearless, which steamed leisurely along
the hayward water front to enable the
excursionists to view the ships anchored
in rotten row and thence past old Inde-
pendence, where salutes were exchanged.
