Guthrie, o. T.. May S-Secretary Fred
Z. Wenner, of the Oklahoma commission
TO the ST Louis exposition, Is of the
opinion that Oklahoma must rush the
work in ST. Louis in order to avoid ex-
orbitant prices for labor, which he be-
neves win be demanded by work1nen early
next year. Secretary Wenner states that
everything is controlled by unions. and
that any dissatisfaction among the men
means a strike.

But None Has as Yet Been Re-
Ceived.

Guthrie O. T, May s-Territorial Off
! cials have been waiting patiently to hear
from Secretary E. a. Hitchcock relative
TO his visit to the territory; the time he
ary of the party. but late this afternoon
nothing had been received from the sec
retary, although it is expected that tele-
gram will be received from him tonight.
Secretary Hitchcock and party reached
South McAlester yesterday and after a
stay of a few hours in that city went
north over the Katy. The secretary is
opposed to any special demonstrations
and prefers to see the people of the two
territories as they really are.
The secretary has a private car. the
''Adolphus" and the party is composed of
the secretary and the following persons:
Hon VIM. Richardson of Alabama, mem
Der of congress.
Col S. W. Fordyce of ST. Louis.
John F. Shepley. of ST. Louis, son-in-
law of the secretary.
George c. Hitchcock, OF st. Louis,
nephew of the secretary.
Hon. W. Scott Smith, private secretary
of Mr. Hitchcock
At South McAlester Secretary Smith
talked freely relative to the Indian terri
tory exhibit at the ST. Louis exposition.
as follows:
Secretary Hitchcock wants it distinctly
understood that he viii respect the wishes
of the people of this territory in the mat
ter OF management of the Worlds Fair
exhibit. He wants every town and every
community represented a display that
will show the development of the In
dian territory and not an exhibit of blan-
kets and feathers. This fund must he
raised by you people by June i or the ap-
preparation OF s25. 900 by congress reverts
to the treasury of the government"
The itinerary of the secretary as ar
ranged thus far, and which is subject to
change, was announced at South Nc
Alester as follows:
Visit at Muscogee for a day. Over
Ozark & Cherokee Central to Okmulgee;
thence over Frisco to Sulphur Springs:
thence TO Lawton and Anadarko and
probably Enid; thence TO Oklahoma City
and Guthrie. At Guthrie the party will
spend an entire day.
Mayor Van Wrinkle of Oklahoma City
is arranging to have mayors of various
Oklahoma cities gather there to meet
Secretary Hitchcock and party This will
give the officials an opportunity of invit-
ing the party to visit many Oklahoma
towns. Just when the party VIII arrive
in Oklahoma City is not known but an
enthusiastic welcome will be given the
noted men at that city
All plans here have been perfected as
far as possible and as soon as it is def
nitely known when the secretary and
party will arrive. everything will be in
readiness for their reception. There Is
much interest displayed in the matter
and it Is safe to say that the secretary
will receive tremendous welcome. Gov
ernor Ferguson will arrange for a party
to meet the secretary when he arrives in
the territory and II is probable that this
party will travel over Oklahoma with
him
Governor Ferguson is being besieged
with letters from officials in various cities
asking him to do all in his power to have
the secretary extend the time of his visit
in Oklahoma in order that he may see
more of the territory,

Gertrude Scott, who died under suspicious
circumstances near Coyle. on April 10. has
returned verdict that the deceased came
TO her death as the result OF laudanum
