Of the Guthrie papers are very much
downcast over Oklahoma Citys cor
rected census figures. It seems to lay
heavily under their belt The Leader
says II was Flynn who did It and The
apital charges It to Merriam. AS a
matter Of fact, Il was neither. Both
may have had something TO do with
the matter of reopening the rolls but
1t was simple justice to an outraged
community which did the business.
Guthrie has no kick coming on the
figures as they now stand in the light
of the real condition. Her census as
it now officially stands is hut thirty
one less than Oklahoma City's, when
as matter Of fact, recognized by
everybody who mas seen the two
towns, Oklahoma City has three to
Guthne's two.

A FAT PURSE
FOR FIREMEN

Hundred and Fifty
Dollars.

At a meeting Of the directors of the

day evening, resolutions We're framed
and adopted recognizing the excellent
services of the Fire Department at the
Hall building fire, and expressing graf
.itude and appreciation for the work OF
Chief Thurston and his men.
Embodied in the resolutions, how
ever, was a more substantial recogni-
tion OF the SERVICES of the Fire Depart
ment than the mere expression of sen
timent. and in accordance with the
resolution a check for $3.50 was forward
ed TO Chief Thurston to be divided
among the firemen who worked so val

The check was received by the Chief

APPEALS TO
WASHINGTON

Chuck Seen and Chew Yueu, the two
Chinese merchants who We're refused
permission to land in Honolulu from
the Mariposa, by Collector Stackable
Friday, We're yesterday allowed to
come ashore pending an appeal TO
Washington, after Attorney Fleming
had spent the great part OF the morn
ing in finding suitable quarters for their
detention.
The attorneys for the Chinese have
appealed from the decision Of Collector
Stackable to the Secretary of the
Treasury, and the two defendants will
bc kept under surveillance by the Gus
tom officials until the Washington au-
thorities have been heard from.
The appeal is not made from Judge
F.stees decision, but is direct To the
Treasury Department, which only has
jurisdiction over collectors in immigra-
ton cases. The appeal has not been
sent 10 Washington, but will be for
warded on the next steamer. II is to
be based on the ground that the action
of the collector was not in accordanca
with any law or act OF Congress.

Deutschland's Great Speed

on the nautical day ending at noon
on Tuesday, twenty-four hours and fif-
ty minutes long, the Hamburg Ameri-
can liner Deutschland, in yesterday
from Bremen, Southampton and Cher
bourg, made the unprecedented run OF
COL knots, says the New York Sun OF
July 20. Her average hourly speed for
the day was 2i19, and at times she at
tanned a speed of about twenty-fiv
knots. Captain Albers said the great
ship had not reached the limit of her
ability. He confidently predicts that
she will make even a greater days run
when the weather is just right and the
sea smooth. To reel OFF COL knots the
furnaces of the great ship chewed VI
