. GA Ragged Hero" M. J. Fielding's realistic play of New England home life, which will be presented at the Grand opera house Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week. proved to be one of the principal melodranlatic sue eesses of last season. The hero of the play is a tramp, but one totally differ ent from the type familiar to theater- goers. Although vision of picturesque seediness, unkempt and often the worse for liquor, he still possesses traces of his former gentility. He earns his re- putation for heroism by the rescue of a little girl from the upper story of a burning farmhouse. Tn the absence of a ladder, he leaps into a swing, sways it to the height of the window and the child leaps into his arms as the building collapses. He is also in strumental in averting a collision be- tween railroad train and a bob-sled upon which the heroine slides down a mountain slope in order to save her condemned lovers life.

LANGSTON
REGENTS
CONFER
They Considered Charges
Preferred Against Page
HEAR THIRTY WITNESSES
General Belief Is That Page
viii Hold On
HEAR THIRTY WITNESSES

Guthrie, o. T, June 16.-Members Of
the board of regents for the Lansston
colored A and n. college. with the eXcep-
ton Of Auditor L. W. Baxter, have been
in session here today, considering charges
filed against President Inman E. Page of
the institution Nearly thirty witnesses
have been present to give testimony but
the board only had time today TO exam
inc three or four Of the important wit
nesses 1t is not known when the matter
will be cleared up. but it is the general
belief that President Page will be retain
ed for another year.
Last night mebers of the opposing fac
tions held a conference and the sugges-
sion was made that the charges be with
drawn by the person presenting them to
the board of regents. President Pages
friends would not allow this and the
president insisted on having the charges
aired. The Langston matter has created
much feeling among coIored people of
this and other counties and many out of
town persons were here today.
Unknown to many persons. Auditor
Baxter and L. c. Guss of this city last
week made a trip to Tuskegee to look
over the splendid institution there and
to ascertain If it were not possible to
secure a man from that institution to
take charge Of the Langston school. Par
tiaI arrangements were made for one man
TO come here, providing the board should
send for him. a telegram was received
today, however, which stated that it
would be impossible for him to come to
Oklahoma, even in the event that the
board Of regents should make him presi-
dent Nothing was said about the visit
to Tuskegee by the board of regents and
it is asserted that some members of the
board did not know Of the Tuskegee mat
ter until today. Who viii pay the ex-
penses OF such trip is not known
The various newspapers operated by
coIored men in Oklahoma have taken
sides in the President Page matter and
it has even reached some of the churches.
Just why it should take the board of re-
gents several days TO consider the charges
is not known, as this board should be in
position to know whether President
Page has executive ability necessary to
conduct the institution at Langston.
Governor Ferguson was with the board
Of regents a short time this afternoon
hearing the testimony being given at
the time. II is stated that he is of the
opinion that the investigation should be
closed up as soon as possible.

POSTOFFICE ABOLISHED.
Cross Mail Goes 10 Ponca City, Says
the Traveller.


Guthrie. O. T., June 1.-THE Arkansas
City Traveller is authority for the fol-
lowing:
The postofice at Cross, o. T. has been
discontinued and hereafter the mail for
that place Will go 10 Ponca City and be
handled from that Office. This is the last
Of battle between two rival towns
When the strip was opened Cross was
the town established by the powers, but
the Ponca Land and Improvement COM
pany sprung into existence with the open
ing of the strip" and established rival
town about mile and a half south Of
Cross. This was Ponca City and proved
to be the stronger child. 1t lived while
the other died
The death of Cross was long drawn out
and probably accompanied by much men
tai agony upon the part Of the hackers
of the town.
As soon as Ponca City was thoroughly
established it proved 70 be a wonder, and
the men who settled there were hustlers.
They got what they went after and it
was only fw months until rollers were
put under most OF the buildings at Cross
and one by one they were Jerheu dCiOSS

The postofice. with wonderful vital
ity, hung on until the very last. The bust
ness nearly all gone, there was little to
keep it there and the selection of a
postmaster was a task by no means easy
The trouble, however. was not IN Sc
lecting a postmaster. but was encountered
in finding some one TO take the place.

ter stating the action of the board OF di-
rectors and requesting that no warrants
upon the contingent fund be issued un-
less approved by the resident member of
the board.
In addition to this letter it is said that
Governor Ferguson wrote 10 the auditor
requesting that all requisitions upon the
contingent fund for the use of the librar-
ian be honored by warrants issued Re
Gently Mrs. HomEghous. assistant librar-
ian, presented a recuisition upon the con-
tingent fund, but Auditor Baxter stated
that he preferred not 10 issue a warrant
at that time and that it was his desire TO
investigate further.
Just what the auditor VIII do is not
known. On one side is the supreme court
and on the other side is the governor and
attorney general 1t IS presumed how
ever. that Bavter. as a territorial Of
fetal, will follow the advice OF the at
torney general.
1t has been stated that the law is plain
upon the matter of the contingent fund,
but it is a question that may have to be
decided by the courts.

ARE SIDE ISSUES.
Railroads Have No Time TO Talk Of
Anything but Repairs.

Shawnee, o. T., June 16.-Master Me
chanic McGie states that he has paid
comparatively little attention to the pro-
gress made by other roads in recover
ing from the damage done by the high
water, but that the Choctaw was ac-
complishing a great deal and getting their
line in very fair shape.
He said that he could hardly estimate
the extent of loss suffered by the road at
this place. There are any number of
loaded cars still standing in the yards
waiting for transportation out. General
Superintendent Wentz has been in Okla
homa City since he left Shawnee, assist
ing in the work of getting the track in
shape and accumulated business out on
the road.
Mr.. McGie said the officials would be
ready to talk the shop extension when
they got everything running smoothly.
but that the recent floods had knocked
all their plans temporarily in the head
Such progress is being made in the repair
Of the road that the shop force has been
called in and only the regular construc-
ton gang is now doing service in this
line.
