JONES NOT A CANDIDATE
Great Oklahoma Boomer Can't BE
I4ured Into Politics.

Oklahoma City. o. T. April 24.-Mayor
Charles G. Jones, "Gristmill." declines TO
allow his name to go before the Repub
lican territorial committee to nominate
q candidate for delegate to congress. Mr..
Jones gives his reasons in a letter TO the
Times-Journal of this city. as follows:
Noticing what YOU have to say in your
paper of recent date concerning my can
didacy for congress, and having received
great many letters from different parts
OF the country urging me to become a
candidate. and also having had many per-
sonal friends to call upon me and make
urgent requests in the same direction,
deem it best to communicate TO them
through your valued paper.
"One cannot too highly appreciate so
high an honor as that which so many Re
publicsns throughout the territory wish
to bestow upon me, and he cannot help
feeling the force of obligation TO his
friends and to his party when solicited 70
allow his name to be used IN connection
with so exalted and important a position.
!. therefore. feel that I owe my friends
az expression OF my decision regarding
their request and the impossi5ility Of al
lowing my name to come before the con
vention.
Holding their kind interest IN my be-
half and the honor they wish 10 hestov
upon me i'm the highest degree. Yet I feel
compelled to decline TO have my name
come before the convention as a candidate
for the nomination - delegate 20 con
gress from this territory. 1 have at
tunes in the past put aside personal feel
iHgs and interests 10 accept public trusts
but in this instance, owing 20 a great
pressure of public and private business.
ir which I am Interested. It seems I'm
possible for me To contemplate assuming
further duties than are nov incumbent
anon me, as 10 would simply mean the
neglect of some ~ them.
II trust that the coming convention
may ADOPT a platform enunciatng the
principles n the Republican party, Gre
upon which ali fair-minded men NAV
stand. and that It may contain a geod
strong. compromising plank FOR single
statehood
Again thanking nv friends Tor their
KIND solicitations. and assuring them
chat although not a candidate. mv heart
sad my hopes are with n. grand cd
Republcan party. and that I vil DO a.

B. Craft who was murdered on Saturday in the
Empire Cafe at Nos 3S and 40 West Twenty
ninth-st. DR.. 'O'Hanlon carefully inspected the
organs of the body. When he finished his work
at p. m. he refused to say whether or not he
had found evidences of choral in Crafts stom-
ach. He said that he would report the result of
his investigation to Coroner Jackson, and that
he would not make any statement about 1t until
he had made that report.
Coroner Jackson said last night that DE-
O'Hanlon had not been able to determine
whether not there were traces of choral or
any other poison in Crafts stomach Mr. Jack
son said that the stomach was full of food. and
that traces of poison could not be discovered
until after a chemical analysis of the contents Of
the stomach had been made. Such an analysis
will be made

it would be better for them not to the body
undertaken and had been removed to their home.

advice
She examined part of shoe found in the
furnace at the Empire. At the first sight of IT
she nearly tainted, and had to be supported by
her When she recovered she exclaimed:
my God! They not only murdered him. but
they destroyed his clothing well!' She ex-
pressed the opinion that her husband had been
murdered for the money he displayed She de-
clared that when he left home he had consider
able money with him. well valuable
gold watch and chain.
Mrs Craft said that she had engaged an
undertaken by the name of Dodge. of Glen Cove.
to care for her husbands body. Dodge was to
go to the morgue for the body last night and
take 1t to Glen Cove.

on Saturday night as being possible witnesses in
the case. were arraigned in the Jefferson Mar
ket police court yesterday They were re-

owing to the strike might well alarm.
LIN Boston, he continued. the schools have no
coal and there is practically anthracite in the
market here. Mr.. Mitchell. the last time I saw
him could not reassure The conditions here
would be serious if a cold spell came. The question
is not the high price of coal, but the getting OF
coal at all In weather like this, children going to
schools and factories have to stay in their
drenched clothes as fires viii not be lighted until
actual winter sets in
He then proposed that the memorial should be
drawn up.
