Three New Lines OF the Santa Fe
system In Oklahoma.


Guthrie, o. T, July 26-Articles of In
corporation have been filed and a charter
granted to the Eastern Oklahoma Rail
road company, TO construct three lines
of roads In the territory. The election of
the board Of directors resulted in the Sc
lection of the following named gentle
men: Aldace F. Walker, New York City:
Edward P. Ripley and Edawrd D. Kenna
Chicago; Henry E. ASP, L. c. Guss, W.
il. Merten. Guthrie, Frank T. Dolan.
Wichita. The following officers for the
new roads were chosen: Aldace F. Walk.
er. chairman OF the board: Edward ~
Ripley, president; Edward D. Kenna, first
vice president and general solicitor; Paul
Morton, second vice president: Victor
MorOwetz. general counsel; John P.
Whitehead, comptroller; H. c. White
head, general auditor; Edward Wilder,
secretary and treasurer. The capital
stock Of the new corporation is So,9OO,OOO
and one hundred miles of road will be at
once constructed. Guthrie is named as
the principal place of business, and the
officers named were the men who hold
similar positions in the great Santa Fe
system. The three lines, projected and
upon which work will be begun at once.
are described as follows: The first line
designated in the charter is to extend
from Guthrie south of the Cimmar0n
river, east into the coal fields of the
Creek nation connecting with the Kansas
Oklahoma Central and Southwestern rail-
road. now under construction southwark
from Caney. Kansas. II is said that the
grade OF the new lines is not to exceef
one-sixteenth of one per cent. The route
will be along the water level Of the Cim-
rnaron river as nearly as possible and will
be used for heavy traffic. The transport
tation of coal into central and western
Oklahoma will be one of the. largest
sources OF revenue. The second line pro
vfded for in the charter will be a connec1
ton at or near the town of Perkins. frors
which place It viii Traverse northeastern
Oklahoma. by way of Saltwater and Paw

will begin at a point on the main line of
the Santa Fe between the town of Bliss
md the Salt Fork river and continue
southeast by the way~ofS Pawnee TO the
Junction of the Arkansas and Cimmaron
rivers.
From reliable sources II was learned
that the engineers would begin work at
once and that dirt will begin to fly on the
grade and kept up until all three lines
are in active operation. One hundred
miles or this road will be completed In
time TO haul the big crops out Of Payne
and Pawnee counties. and the whole
mileage completed about the middle Of

There Is something remarkable about
these men. Meseroie and Aolineux. being
brought together In this way. Their fath-
srs ara both honored citizens. against
whom no word was ever justly said both
gray-haired generals. bowed down with
the griefs Of their sons misfortunes. and
both the recipients Of the bOundless SYM
PATTY OF their fellow men.
Darwin ]. Meserole was the reckless
extravsgant son OF General J. " Mese-
role, president OF the Williamsburg saw
ings bank. a man Of piety, integrity and
charity. He and his wife spent their lives
IN doing good Their only grief was IN
the conduct OF their 500. Darwin. who
had characteristics impossible for any one
to explain who knew his home life and
careful training.
At the age OF = young Meseroie found
himself standing over the body Of Theo-
dore Larbig. whom he had Just slain.
Both men were infatuated with q wOmas
named ''Dovie'' Comstock
Meserole was living in her fiat. q place
supported by Larbig. who had q home
y
Larbigwas a gambling man OF Jealous
disposition. He visited the Tat unexDec-
tedly and finding out the state Of affairs
began to beat Mrs. comstock with his
fists. Meserole killed him In defending
her.
Meserole passed the summer In Ray
mcnd street jail While there he was vis-
tied by Katherine Maltby. missionary.
who taught him to pray. She was a Vas
sar College girl and the organizer OF the
Civitas club Of Young Women. bent on
the study OF municipal problems. She
converted Meserole wholly. and after his
acquittal on the ground Of self defense
he resolved TO live q new life.
He sold his seat IN. the Stock Exchange
and gave s5ool OF the money he received
to the widow of the man he killed. Then
he devoted himself to charity. He was
publicly baptized In Plymouth church and
opened a retreat FOR converted sinners.
After four years of good works he pro-
posed marriage to Miss Maltby. They
were married on June a.
The Molineux case interested him from
the start. not only because his father and
General Edward L Molineux. the father
Of the prisoner. were friends. but because
he implicitly believed that Molineux was
innocent OF the murder OF which he was
accused.
The cases resemble each other further
for both the crimes are generally be-
heved to be due to love and jealousy.
Meserole prayed for the conversion of
young Molineux and young Mrs. Meserole
did the same.
1t does not appear that either Of them
has called upon Molineux In the Tombs.
but they have caused II TO be announced
to him that they are his friends and will
stand by him in all things.
Young Molineux has not shown any
signs Of placing his reliance in religion.
He has paid only the attention required
by politeness to the overtures OF the
prison chaplain.

SAYS IT'S GOOD FOR JONATHAN
French Consul az New York on the
French Reciprocity Treaty.


New York. July 2s.-Edmond Bruwaert,
French consul at New York, says Of the
new reciprocity treaty between France
and the United States: 81 regard 1t as an
excellent thing for the United States.
America was the only country which
did not have the benefit OF our minimum
tariff. As the manufacturers abroad are
satisfied with profit Of per cent, the
difference between the maximum and
minimum rates was sufficient to keep the
United s IS out OF the French market.
Frances annual importation of manufac-
tured articles is about $3.50, 0O0, 600, and the
United States will get a good share Of
this. America undersells England in cot
ton goods in China, and there is no rea-
son why It cannot do the same in France.
1t will be the same with other articles.
England. elgium, Germany and Austria
now supply France with her imported
manufactured articles The leading i'm
ports are raw cotton, wheat. tobacco,
mineral oil. copper and lead. America
sends agricultural implements, sewing
machines. electrical appliances and
pumps. There are 642 articles on the du-
table list Of the French tariff list and
the treaty gives the Nnited States the
minimum rate on all except twelve. Ger
many, England and the other countries
which have treaties with France do not
enjoy the minimum rate. on these twelve
exceptions, which are chiefly agricultural
products. The average difference be-
tween the French maximum and mini
mum rate Is g per cent, so that imports
from this country will pay one-third less
duty when the treaty goes into effect.
There are 4ss dutiahle items in the tariff
law Of the United States. and in return
for her concessions France will obtain a
lower rate In less than 100 OF them, the
average reduction being only 10 per cent.
While this seems one-sided. Il is not so
much so as II appears. because American
goods have been sent into France. as
English goods. under the minimum tariff.
II do not think the treaty can 20 into
effect before next February. It must be
ratified both here and in France and
signed by both President Loubet and

STUP|DJEAN gRAPNDD
Has Driven a Hard Bargain
With Uncle Sam
AND DOESN'T KNOW IT
He Is Kicking on the New
Reciprocity Treaty.

washington, July ga good deal Of
he-e BY the unexpected opposition de-
velopi,tg in France to the ratification OF
the reciprocity treaty just negotiated by
Mr.. Kasson and n. Cambon. 1t is not
deemed expedient to make public the de-
tails of the convention. but 1t can be
stated authoritatively that, in the opinion
of our own officials, the French have
driven q hard bargain In making the
treaty. They have, it is said, secured
more advantages than they had any just
reason to expect at the beginning OF the
negotiations, and that success was ulti-
mately obtained Is owing to the fact that
the negotiators felt bound to observe the
behest of the president and make q
treaty at all hazards. It is suspected
here that the French people are not
aware OF the actual value OF the conces"
sions they have obtained, and there Is
reason to believe that when the cham
payne makers learn the amount Of bene-
fit they are to receive the opposition to
the consuramation OF the treaty viii be
at once transferred from France to the
United States.
The statement made yesterday by N.
Delcasse the French minister for foreign
affairs, that the treaty contains the fav-
ored nation clause, Is said to be mis-
leading to the public, for what 1t does
contain in that direction is a special pro-
vision in the case Of certain lines Of ar
ticles of import, that If the rate of duty
is reduced below the figures stated, to
any other nation, then France shall
have the same rate. But this provision
is not general, and applies, as stated,
only to certain specified articles. 1t Is
believed that under this head, however,
the French champagne makers will profit
for, while the treaty itself does not give
them the rate desired, yet they probably
may profit by the low rate just given
to the Portuguese makers Of sparkling
wine.
1t IS appreciated here that the opposi-
ton in Paris comes from very influential
quarters. The Republique Franchise,
which makes a bitter attack on the
treaty, Is directed by NJ. Meline, former
premier, and one Of the most capable
leaders in French politics, In particular
he represents the peasantry and the gen.
tleman farmer class, and his leadership
OF an opposition indicates that the treaty
will have a difficult course before 1t.
