bed, a man was found yesterday
with his throat cut and the bed
clothing saturated with blood. The
man was recognized by the hotel
people as Walter Jiles, who had ar
rived at the hotel last Sunday
from Chiekasha where be had been
employed as a section hand by the
Oklahoma City & Western on the
first section north Of Chickasha.
Little else was known about the
man, but from some Of his conver-
sations with the bcarders the i'm
preston was general that he had
lost at the gaming table during his
stay in that city. Iiles appeared
to be about 80 or 40 years Of age.
A dull pocket knife covered
with blood was found on the floor
OF the room, with other evidences
Of the manner in --.s~i' the man had
met his death. The coroner con-
cluded an inquest unnecessary and
the body was removed to thu
morgue. A fragment Of letter
found on the floor indicated tht
old story Of woman in the case.

does not have to 60 through any
long, tedious, expensive process 10
prepare il for the street, but is
ready 10 be used as soon as it comes
from the ground. All paving ma
terial like concrete, which Is made
from Joplin gravel, must be mixed
with Portland cement before it can
be used. With our product the
clay is the cemeDi, and for the pur-
pose Of street paving it is better
than the cement, as it is a natural
quality, found with the gravel, over
half the labor is TINS saved.
"The gravel is also useful for
making sidewalks, and | will say
to the Uhickasha property owners
who would like to put down side
walks and are complaining that the
ex pense would be too great, that
our product will make twice as
good sidewalk as lumber at just
about one fourth the expense. We
are prepared to lay Chickasaw
gravel sidewalks at 70 cents per
square yard, and prepare the
ground ourselves, and we will guar
antee the sidewalk to be as good
and as permanent rs one could de-
SIRE. And we are anxious to ger
as much OF this sort Of work as pos
slbie, as il will not only advertise
onr product. but enable many Of
our citizens to make permanent
improvements which they would
not be able to otherwise.
'sThe Wasbi.1 river brides wilI
be completed next week. and just
as soon as we can cross it we shall
place Ten wagons aud teams to
work, excavating and hauling the
gravel to the city. 0nr first work
will be the macadamizing OF the
corner at Fourth and Chickasha
avenue, which we have agreed to
do as sample OF our product
We will show the people that We
have as cheap and as good paving
material right here at eur very
doors as they could ask far. anf
after we get started. if they are
really desIrous of laying sidewalks
paving the streets and making
other improvements, there is M
reason why they should not do &c

Chickasha capitalists. the object Of

everything is in readiness to be-
gin operations.
The Express received a call this
moruiag from Mr. } r. Hornbeck,
formerly of Henrietta, Texas, who
is one OF the entlemen interested
ia the new company. Mr.. Horn
beck has had long experience In
gravel work, aud knows ihe pro
duct as a miller knows wheat. b.
fore coming TO Chlckasha Mr.
Hornbeck was interested in The
cement gravel beds OF Henrietta,
Texas, which, until they were ex-
nausted. we're the iiness in this
part of the country. The deposit.
found in the Chickasaw nation are,
according to Mr.. Hornbecs, iden-
tical with the Texas product, and
the finest material for street paving
in the country.
The company is only waiting on
the completion of the new bridge
over Rock Ford to begin work.
Tbe largest bed Of gravel con
troiled by the company is about
one mile northeast of this bridge
or three miles from town Mr.
Hornbeck recently tested this bed
10 five different places, and made 1
thorough investigation OF the pre-
duct in each lace. The depth o
the beds varied from IS inches tC
over six feet, the last test showing

THE RIGHT TO PEACE.

An interesting speculation possible further
development of the international law of neutral
ity is contained in an address on THE Concep-
ton and Realization Of Neutrality" delivered
some months ago before the American Social
Science Association, and now published by DR..
David Jayne Hill, Assistant Secretary of State
The body of the address is devoted to sketching
the evolution of the doctrine Of neutrality from
the time when petty war of the Middle Ages
the signal for knights and even nations.
with no interest in the quarrel 10 rush TO arms
just for the joy of battle while protesting the
greatest good viii to the party whom they hap-
pened TO be ar-ayed against. Only in recent
times has neutral commerce on the sea had rec
oGniZed rights. the history of our own strug-
giles against British Orders in Council and Ma
pOleonic Milan DEGREES serves to remind lis. In
the final paragraphs of the address the sugges-
ton is put forth that the ideas and interests
which have made the localization OF war possi.
bic may lead the armed nations which now. as
international policemen, compel respect for nell
trality and prevent wars from spreading TO
undertake the larger function of forbiddinc war
altogether.
DIR. Hill points out that international law with
its present requirements makes the position or q
neutral extremely difficult Along with fbe
rights of neutrals go the duties of peutraIs and
under the rules laid down by the Treaty. of
Washington which led to the Geneva award.
those duties are so onerous that a war invoIy-
ing civilized nations is almost as serious q
matter 10 neutrals as 10 the belligerents Them
selves. The United States was the leader even
in the eighteenth century in securing interna-
tional recognition of neutral rights Likewise
il was the leader in enforcing this advanced
theory of neutral duties, which, as Wharton
says, placed limitations on the rights of nell
trials greater even than those England had en-
'deavored TO impose during the Napoleonic
'wars, and far greater than those which the
United States had ever previously been willing
ito concede.' Under the rules a government to
| fulfil its obligations would be obliged to police
| its ports TO prevent contraban articles from
| going TO belligerent, and have a powerful
navy TO Intercept vessels escaping from its ports
| IN violation OF neutrality laws. No nation OK
| cept the United States and Great Britain has
| formally accepted the Geneva doctrine but If if
| ever should be generally accepted Dr. Hill
thinks, Justice would require that the duties
Ito which the doctrine binds should be offset
by an enlargement of neutral rights for a
| foreign war would be a calamity SO great tha r
unusual measures on the part OF the nations
| Wouid he Justified to avert il. Such an offset
| could be found only in an extension of the
right OF intervention for the sake of peace ''

II is 10 he hoped that the engineers in the

Without reference TO extreme examples. such
as the treeless and arid plains of Central Asia

perfectly notorious that in New-Iork and the
adjoining States the reckless cutting of trees,

the lakes. The lakes girt about with ar
boreal amphitheatres. The rivers and brooks

believing that between the two circumstances

That is well calculated 10 provoke a smile.
The water of the mountain brook has long
