Tomorrow and Next Day-Many
Ladies in Attendance.

The finest weather in months greeted
the members of the |. o. o. f, En-
campment and Grand Lodge when
they awoke this morning in the many
hotels in this Chicago Of the South
west. The weather god is propitious,
and his favors are being thankfully
received and gratefully acknowledged
by the citizens and the many strang-

Everywhere one turns one meets
some stalwart specimens Of Indian
Territory manhood wearing the gilt
tering badges Of the order and gaz-
ing admiringly about them at this
wonderful young city To say that
the delegates are pleased with Tulsa
would be drawing it mildly-they are
amazed, thunderstruck, for although
they had, as a matter Of course, heard
of this city they had no conception
that she is what she is
Five hundred delegates are expect
ed to attend the Grand Lodge meet

by every train from every part OF the

The delegates to the Grand Encamp-

Report of Grand Secretary.

Since the meeting of the last Grand
Lodge, we have instituted thirty-eight
new subordinate lodges, the last num-
Der being 214; and the dispensation
has been granted for 2l5. These new
lodges are all in good working condi-
ton. and / would recommend that
they be granted charters at your pres
ent session.
Since our last meeting we have in
stituted eighteen Rebekah lodges, and
they should also be granted charters.
1t should be gratifying TO us all to
know that our membership has in
creased so rapidly during the past
year that the prospects for the future
year are growing brighter each day.

now 215 lodges, and 5000 members,
an increase which speaks volumes for
Mr.. Alexander's faithfulness and per-

William l.. Norman committed sui
eide this morning, at 1920 o'clock,
by shooting himself through the head.
He never regained consciousness and
about ten minutes afterwards quietly
breathed his last, sitting in his Office
chair.
Not in many years has tragedy oc-
cured in Tulsa which caused such un-
iversal surprise and sorrow. The de-
ceased was well known, and very much
liked in all relations of life. He was
the last man one would suspect of TAX
ing his own life, and none OF the
causes so far given in any way salts
fly the public.
The deceased is a partner in the
real estate firm of Clark, Norman 81
Jones, and a minute before the trag7
edy was sitting talking business WIN
his partners in their Offices on East
First street, next to the Brady Dry
Goods store,
Judge Clark, in relating the event
to the World representative, said that
they had been conversing together on
the payment of some money. He was
sitting at one end of a desk and the
deceased at the other. j. ID. Jones
was sitting a little distance from them
and between them; A. 7. Jones was
sitting in a corner near the front win
dow. They had just agreed to pay
500 in some transaction they had on
hand, and Judge Clark stepped out
the door to call notary. He had
not gone three feet from the sill when
he heard light report, and thought
it came from the Brady store. At
that moment j. ID. Jones rushed to
the door, calling, "For Gods salls,
Judge, Billy has shot himself" The
deed was done.
j. d. Jones says that after Judge
Clark left his chair he saw the deceas-
ed pull open drawer in front of
him, and thought he was looking for
his pipe. Before he could realize it.
the shot was fired, and the gun fell
from the nerveess hand to the floor,
where it was later picked up and turn
ed over to Marshal Reneau.
The weapon was 80 calibre Young
AMERICA mere toy affair, not more
than five or six inches in length. 1t
was taken by J. d. Jones from drum
ken Indian some time ago, and has
lain in the drawer until used today.
1t carried a bullet not much larger
than an ordinary cathartic pill. and
the hole in the dead man S head,
from which the blood was oozing and
trickling down his face, was scarcely
visible to the reporter. The bullet
lodged in the brain, entering the skull
one and half inches above, and one
inch in front of, the right ear.
William i. Norman was born in
California and came from good fam
lily. Many years ago he moved to Ok
lahoma territory and settled at Still
water, where he was register of deeds
four wears, deputy district clerk
four years, and district clerk two
years. Within the last year he came
to Tulsa and as a member of the real
estate firm mentioned was building
up a nice business. He was a gentle
man in every sense Of the word, and
tried to live square and deal squarely
with everyone.
The dead man left a wife and two
children to mourn his loss. One OF

WHY DID SCHMITz LEAVE?


We want every citizen Of this sec
ton to read carefully the following ar
tcle taken from recent issue of the
Lewiston Tribune. Schmidt is the
reformer, the honest gentleman, the
poor peoples friend, Socialist, elected
by the common people to give San
Francisco an honest deal:
Nearly eight months ago the city
was burned and Mayor Schmitz and
his commissioners were confronted with
the problem Of restoring it to hab-
table condition. 1t was task that
would stir the spirit and rouse the
minds of the right sort Of men; task
so large and so honorable that it might
almost quicken mediocrity into genius.
What has the administration, facing
so glorious an opportunity accom-
plished? Nothing worth noting. The
streets are still filthy and broken.
There is hardly a mud hole in any
civilized or semi-barbarous country in
worse condition than Kearney and
Montgomery streets. In many places
there are gaping holes in sidewalks
through which unware pedestrians are
likely to tumble into cellars. Not a
tap has been done in the way Of restor-
ing the city hall or the hall Of justice,
although most Of the largest Office
building Quilted by the fire have been
repaired and reftted by their owners
and are now almost ready for occupa-
ton. The sewers are choked with
debris-a condition that could have
been prevented by the exercise of {
very little intelligence. From the clog
ged sewers the germs Of disease pou
forth upon the people. A fairly decen
Job has been made Of the repair OF thu
schools, but that is the only direction
in which the administration has mad
any progress at all. Whatever improve
ment appears in the city in othe
respects, is the work Of private pei
