SOLDIER KILLED IN SHAM
BATTLE AT Ell RENO

El Reno, Okla, May 1S.-In sham
tattle at Fort Reno today Lieut.. G. l..
Chapman of the 25th Infantry, adju-
tant of the post was killed with a
shot through the body. His fellow
officers are grief stricken by the occur
renee. The cause assigned is acci-
dent, but inasmuch as loaded cart
ridges are not used in the exercises.
the suspicion is manifested that some
one in the ranks with a grudge against
the young officer used the occasion to
satisfy his resentment. A careful in
quiry into the affair has been ordered.

repeatedly. We have not given our
support Of the mayor IN most Of his
policies grudeingly. but as generously
we think as we could
But Mr. Birds election was due
solely to a Republican quarrel and not
TO Democratic strength. BY virtue OF
numbers the Republicans should have
had the mayor for the last two years
and this time they DO not propose to
neglect their opportunities. nor to
deny themselves their privileges.
And In evidence Of their spirit. they
went to the polls and deliberately Sc
lected as their standard bearer a gem

MINISTERS MARCH
ON THE CITY HALL
Methodist Preachers Protest
Against Philadelphia Gas
Lease
ADOPTED STRONG RESOLUTIONS

Philadelphia. May 23. - Citizens OF
this city witnessed an unusual specta-
Gle, when more than 100 ministers of.
the Methodist Episcopal church sol
emnly marched TO the city hall to ex-
press to Mayor Weaver their protest
against the pending gas lease and to
congratulate him on the stand he has
taken upon the question. The decision
to call on the mayor was made at the
weekly meeting of the Methodist
Episcopal Ministers Association after
strong resolutions commenting the
mayor and the councilmen who had
voted against the lease had bean
adopted,
The ministers assembled at the
Methodist book room. and prayer was
offered by Rev. Garbutt Reed, presi-
dent of the association, in which he
asked that the city might be deliv-
cred from harm and injury and from
evil designs of evil men," The march
to city hall was then begun.
The mayor met the clergymen IN
his large reception room. The resolu-
tions were delivered. to him by DR..
Reed in a brief speech. and remarks
were also made by several other cler-
gymen, all in protest of the pending
lease.
The mayor. in replying, among other
things. said:
You have already seen what I
think Of the gas lease. Within "a
hours after the passage Of that bill by
the two branches of councils 1 made
up my mind what I would do. No liv-
ing soul knows what I propose to do
except myself, and might say to you
now that shall carry out my purpose
to the end. Your meeting has not
changed my views. / had but one view
and that was if could help it the gas
lease as proposed should never be
foisted upon the city of Philadelphia.
AS to the methods that have myself
worked out to prevent this. that is
something that will develop within the
next few days. But I say to you, as l
said before. that ! will use the utmost
Of my power 10 prevent what / believe
is the greatest iniquity upon the city
Of Philadelphia.
"The present lease is infinitely bet
ter than the other two. and why
should be asked to consent to the
city giving away a contract that we
now have by which we must receive
in annual revenues at least S25.00O,0O0
in the next 22 years, and with the in
crease in the consumption of gas
probably s40O0O000 and then at the
end Of the % years we would get back
without any charge against it the
great gas plant, with all its franchises
and with all the money expended upon
it by the United Gas Improvement
company. That plant, believe, would
be worth to the city from sS0.000,OO0
to S10O,000.00O, so that by the pro-
posed lease we should be practically
giving away without any return the
present gas plant, which will be worth
at the expiration of % years from $50
100000 to 100000, ,O0O."
Two ward meetings we're held, at
which addresses against the pending
lease were made At the regular meet
ing of the Methodist Minister'S Social
Union the discussion of the gas lease
took up the greater part of the session.
