ELECTRIC
RAILWAYS
WILL SOON COVER THE TERRITORY
LIKE A NET WORK. TWO
MORE LINES
THE WASHITA VALLEY LINE
Is Announced as Certainty. Work
will Begin on il

Guthrie, O. T., Sept. "a. In
ierurban electric lines are now be-
ing planned in Oklahoma almost as
numerously as steam lines were a
year or two ago. Two lines south
out Of Oklahoma City seem to mean
business and several new ones have
been sprung this week. Reports
from Mill Greek say that work is
soon to begin on the Washita Val
ley interurban, chartered to run
from Shreveport, La, to Anadarko
o. T. The first section will run
from Tishomingo to Sulphur
Springs, passing through Mill
Creek. The water power Of the
Chickasaw nation will be utilized.
This line passes throughChickasha
down the Washita Valley through
one of the richest regions in the
entire country.
Another line known as the Law
ton, Wichita Mountain & Western
Electric railway, has been attract
ing considerable attention in South
western Oklahoma of late. Col.
E. F. Mitchell. OF TT. Worth, one
Of the promoters Of the line, which
is TO run fromLawton to theWichi.
IA Mountains by way of Fort Sill,
was in I.awton last week to look
over the field. From the fact that
there are now more than 1000 sol
diers at Fort Sill, it is considered
that the part Of the line connect
ing the fort with I.awton would al
most surely be a paying PROPOSE
tion.
The company has already secur-
ed from the war department a
right Of way across the military
reservation. Its survey touches
the national game preserves in the
Wichitas, leads to the principal
pleasure resort and mines, and ex-
tends northwest to connect with
some railway line.

Buffalo; N. Y, Aug. 19.-Webb Jay
OF Cleveland, the automobile racing
man injured at Kenilworth park yes
terday. remained in an unconscious con-
dition all night at the German hospital.
Surgeons have been in constant attend
ance, but up to a late hour Jay had
showed no signs of returning conscious
ness.
Many of the leading officials in au-
tomobile racing, including manufac-
turers, are practically unit in de-
claring that the accident to Jay, fol
lowing so closely on others of a similar
character, has sounded the death knell
to automobile racing on circular tracks.
William H. Hotchkiss, former president
of the Buffalo Automobile club, said:
HThere will never be another auto
mobile race in Buffalo or vicinity if ]
can enlist the power of the supreme
court of New York to prevent it. ]
shall hereafter oppose the holding of
any such events, both as a lawyer and
as an enthusiastic automobilist. -

Automobile club and manager Of the
present meeting, said that notwith.
standing the statement made by for

TWO BOMB PLOTS
IN EMPIRE STATE
Explosions at Saratoga the Even
ing Following Menace to
Bankers in Gotham.

Saratoga, N. -, Aug. 19.-Two loud
explosions in quick succession in differ
ent sections Of Saratoga startled visit
ors late last evening and set afoot
stories about dynamite plots. While
little actual damage was done, there can
be no doubt that some violent explosive
was used.
The question is whether it was the
work Of a practical joker or Of some
person intending mischief who failed to
carry out his plans.
The first explosion occurred in mar
row alleyway between the United States
club, conducted by Joseph Ullman in
WoodlaWn avenue, and adjoining
garage,
The second explosion occurred about
half an hour later directly above the
grounds of Richard Garfield Is Saratoga
clubhouse.
-, Bombs In Saratoga.
In both instances the noise was great,
and those in the neighborhood were Of
the impression that bombs had been
used.
The scene Of the first explosion is an
alley about three feet wide that is
always blocked by bootblack stand.
The explosive seems to have been placed
directly under the chair, which was
blown to bits, and the walls around
| about We're smeared with the boot
blacks oil and paste. Some damage
was done to the building. All Of the
windows Of the clubhouse were open
at the time and those on the basement
| floor were broken.
A great crowd quickly gathered, in
Guiding hundreds of guests in Broadway
hotels.
The Second Explosion.
When the excitement was at it's
! height around the United States club,
the second explosion was heard and the
sharp report took. hundreds from Broad
way up the side streets to discover what
had happened. The second explosion
occurred in a clump of bushes in the
park and was closer to the Kensington
hotel than it was to Garfield IS club
| house.
Later in the night several crudely
printed slips were, found in the corridor
Of a leading hotel asserting that dyna
mite in large quantities had been found
in the two clubhouses and warning peo-
/ pie to be careful 81 These slips lead the
police to belief rhat the explosions
were the work 81 e fanatic.

Great Northern Stations in Northern
North Dakota Generally Open.

North Dakota Generally Open.
Special to The Journal.
Lakota, N. D., Aug. 19.-The strike
situation along this part of the Great
Northern system is in better shape to-
day than at any time since the oper-
ators left their keys. It is reported
that every station between Devils Lake
and Larimore, a distance Of about one
hundred miles, is open. The two sta
tions of Lakota and Petersburg never
have been closed. Michigan was opened
last week for freight and express bust
ness and Yesterday an operator was in
stalled. The stations at Mapes and Nj
agara, east of here, and Bartlett and
Crary to the west, also have operators
and business is being conducted the
same as last month
On the branch from here to Munich, a
distance of sixty miles, all the stations
are opened and operators at work ex-
cept at Brocket, twelve miles up the
branch. and an operator will be checked
in at that point tomorrow.
The passenger service has at no time
been greatly affected as a result of the
strike, but its effect was felt in the
freight service There is decided i'm.
provement in this respect the past few
days and freight trains are keeping well
to their schedule. At no time have cat.
tie shippers felt the strike here. six or
eight cars being sent out everv week
and the receipt of harvesting machin
cry and general freight, while inter.
rupted somewhat, has not been stopped

STRIKE ON n. P.
And G. n. IS OFF
Telegraphe.s Return to Work
and dead" Cars Will
Move Again.
VICTORY FOR ROADS
WAS DEARLY BOUGHT
Employers Said to Have Agreed
to Take All the Strikers
Back.

Instruments in hundreds of Offices
along the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific roads clicked today with a
message declaring, over the signature
of President Perham of the Order of
Railroad Telegraphers, that the opera
tors strike was "off.'
The poll of"the strikers taken yes
terday brought returns to President
Perham showing that $50 out of 800
strikers on the Great Northern desired
to return to work. On the Northern
Pacific the vote was close, admittedly
a little in favor Of continuing the
strike, but under existing conditions
forests Of the men, to declare the strike
off. The result of the Northern Pa
cific vote has been kept secret by the
strike officials.
Altho the deal has been worked
quitely, it is learned from good author
ity that before Perham sent out his
tc-egrams this morning, thru the strike
committee, he had a good understand
ing with the two railroads.. The roads,
strikers at the old schedule Perham
offered to supply them with additional
telegraphers needed for the places of
men who have taken positions with
other railroads since the strike started.
President Perham will leave this
evening for San Francisco, where he
will investigate conditions on Pacific
coast lines.
Today the repotr along the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern lines was
that the old operators were all return
ing to their places and the roads were
arranging for the normal operation Of
9reights and the relief of congestion.
Cost Of the trike.
The railroads haev won on their own
terms, but at heavy cost. President
. Perham says the striek has not cost
the order te1egraphers over $4,000;
that the order Is not. financially in
iured, having recently collected an as
sessmen Of ane, days pay thruout the
900.
The gross income Of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern roads ag-
gregates $8,000000 a month, this be-
ing one of the busiest seasons of the
year beacuse of the crop movement.
The strike lasted about twenty days.
faor that period would be $3.50 900.
The strikers claimed the roads were
crippled so they did but 10 per cent of
their business. Allowing that the roads
did so per cent Of the usual business
this would make the strike cost them
$2,666,O0O.
At the railroad general offices today
none Of the Great Northern or North:
ern Pacific officials would talk about
the strike.
Farmers and Merchants Glad.
The settlement will be good news tc
the farmers and merchants of the north
west. While the passenger service hal
not been greatly affected, the freight
situation has been the cause of mucl
worry. With bumper crop on hand
farmers and merchants desired a com
plete freight service, which can now
be renewed.
The roads will have herculean tasl
getting rid Of the congested freight
which fills depots, and which is station
ary in 'dead' cars standing on nearly
every sidetrack along the lines. A
Fargo alone there are said to be LOO
loaded but "dead' freight cars. Off
cials say the work Of clearing the roat
will be done with all possible speed.
