THE PERpLExlNe QUESTION.
Who viii Be Ardmore's Next Public
School superintendent

Who VIII Be Ardmore's Next Public
School superintendent
At an informal meeting of the pub
lie school board this afternoon a peti.
ton signed by $50 white voters and
taxpayers of this city was presented.
The petition, which follows, minus
the signatures, says:
To The Board of School Trustees:
Gentlemen-We, the undersigned
citizens of the city of Ardmore and
patrons of the public schools. have
the utmost confidence in you gentle
men as trustees, and believe that you
have the best interests of the city and
the schools at heart in the selection
of a superintendent of the public
schools. We do not feel that you
should be trammeled In any way in
the selection of a superintendent, but
inasmueh as a petition has been pre-
sented to you in which II is stated
that at least so per cent Of the voters
and patrons Of the public schools are
in favor of the reappointment of Mr..
]. r. Hendrix we think It but right
and proper that we give you an ex-
preston Of our view.
We protest against the appointment
of Mr.. Hendrix for the following rea.
sons:
1. The question Of his endorse
ment was fairly submitted to the vot-
ers OF the town at the election in De
cember last, in the election of two OF
your body, and by a decided and posi-
tive majority the people refused to
endorse him. .tH
Second The opposition to his re-
appointment numbers among its
members many OF the best patrons
of the schools in this city, and is Of
such proportions as to entitle 1t to
consideration.
Third. We believe that a superin-
tendent in every way as well quail
fed as he, and against whom opposi-
ton is manifested can be secured,
and we are sure that such a course
will result in the greatest good TO
the schools. We do not believe that
the future welfare of our public
schools is dependent upon the efforts
Of any one man, but upon the united
action of all our people, and do not
feel that the good of our schools
should be sacrificed to the interest OF
any one man.
Fourth. We believe that a large
majority of the citizens and patrons
of our public schools are opposed tC
the reappointment of Mr. Hendrix
and for this and other reasons no
necessary to state, we believe his re
appointment would be fatal blow
to our public school interests. ant
would cause great dissension amonl
our people.

A. & c. CROSSES cHocrAw.
Cross BY Aid Of Two Switches 1,2oo
Feet Apart.

Feet Apart
This morning T. II. Cannon, in
charge OF the A. & c. track-layers,
made his appearance with the work
crew where they left off the other
day, and proceeded to make connec-
tion with the Choctaw track by aid
of a switch and viii cross by the aid
of two. switches.
Mr.. Cannon took great pains in
giving us all the information that he
possibly could. He said they might
get across today or it might be to-
morrow morning before the crossings
were complete.
They will enter the Choctaw track
where they left OF a few days ago
just east of the transfer track and
/ 200 feet west of there they leave
the Choctaw by the aid of the other
switch, coming on to their own right
of-way.
Mr.. Cannon said that he would lay
the main line and one or two side
tracks in the yards here. He further
stated work would commence on the
depot here right away.
There is one request Mr., Cannon
would like to make of the people
when he begins to lay track in the
city, and that is not to get too close
to the machine, for one Of the cross
ties might jump the tramway and hurt
some one. One little girl in Lawton
he said, had her thigh broken by a
cross-tie striking her.

Strong Arguments by Sub

ual,public-sp!ritcd, broad-minded
men appeared before the Finance Com
mittce last night-men with the interest
OF the city at heart. and mon who 90
not speak upon any subject without CIV
Ing It serious thought and careful consid-
Grafton.
The occasion OF their presence before
the committee was the question OF In
creasing the police force Of the city from
what It was twenty-five years ago, when
the population was scarcely 10000. to
what they thought 1t should be to-day,
with a population Of over 10000 to con-
tend with.
Those who appeared before the COM
mitteeR last, night to urge the Increase
were Mcssrs. Virginius Newton. u. q.
Morris, VIM. n. Boyd, John G. Hagan,
"A I D. Landerkin. Chris Manning. Jr., and
President Cabell. Of the Chamber OF
Commerce. Letters along the same line
were read from Messrs. s. II. Halves and
Ashton starke, and from Commonwealth's
Attorney D. G. Richardson.
Messrs. Ianderkin and Manning APP
peared for the Police Board, and the other
gentlemen for the city at large.
The Board recently asked for an IN
crease of thirty men, ten Tor eacn us
trict. The request was presented TO
Council, and was referred to the finance
Committee, as 1t carries an appropria-
ton with It,
In speaking to the question It was
shown by both Messrs. Landerkin ana
Manning that every effort was beiss
made to make the force effective, anu
Mr.. Landerkn said that II the force as
at present made up there were not more
than half dozen mon. old men IN the
service, who were not able to do service
as 1t really should be done. In the regu-
lar course OF time, these men VIII %
placed on the retired list.
It is the purpose of the Board to make .
the Richmond force one Of the hnest' ana
to make It's composition Of excellent ma
tcral, and the display OF argumentatlVe
force before the Finance Committee last
night was strong.
No action was taken on the matter
by the committee as 1t was q late hour
when they got to work. Other routine
business that had accumulated was ols-
posed Of and the committee adjourned
at II o'clock.
There will probably be q speclal meet
