had a Washington pleading for it
not only a voteless, even though
persistent delegate, but several
score of congressman and a number
OF powerful senators, always ready
to harken to the voice of our able
delegate in congress. Whether
you ask Speaker Cannon or Sena-
tor Penrose, whether the heads of
the departments or the chiefs of
the bureaus, they will all tell you
that New Mexico was magnificent

a territory it has been more to the

milton from the government than
any state in the union, all through

Already, he said, there were rumbl-
ings, which will unite in a terrible
thunder clap and upheaval of the
country. When the government, fear
ing the explosion, decides to resign,
it will be too late.
Smarting under General Trepoff' s
epithet of liar, applied in an inter-
view, published July Z, Prince Uru-
soft declared today to the Associated
Press that he was in possession Of
full documentary evidence to prove
his charges that the anti-Jewish po-
groms and excesses throughout the
country had been inspired from St.
Petersburg, and that they were not,
as Trepoff asserted, due to arbitrary
action of embittered local officials.
Urusoff said the documents would be
published within a fortnight and that
the public would then be able to
Judge whether he or Trepoff was the
liar.

STORM WASHES
AWAY CULVER7
EXPENSIVE CROSSING AT Ell
WOOD AND FIRST DESTROYED
-----
LOSS TO CITY over $500
City Will at Once Build a 12-Foot
Bridge Where Culvert Was Sec
ond Washout in Same Place.

Probably the most disastrous in
cident in connection with the heavy
rain in Tulsa yesterday was the des-
truction of the culvert across First
street on Elwood. A veritable tor
rent poured down on the culvert be-
tween five and six o'clock, struck the
culvert and totally destroyed it, The
crossing was put in about four months
ago at a cost approximately $500, and
a total loss ensued. This is the see
ond instance in which rains have
worked havoc at the place named, the
washing away of similar culyert
occasioning the building of the one
destroyed last night. The city coun-
ell, in session last night, decided to
build a bridge, large enough and
strong enough, to withstand future
invasions Of the angry waves.
Many people visited the scene of
the washout. For several hours the
water on the street resembled river,
and the stream was at one time near
ly eight feet deep and over fifty feet
wide.

MINISTRY WILL NOT RESIGN
Rumblings of Revolution Heard in
Russia.

st. Petersburg, July 9.--During to-
days debate in parliament, Baron
Ropp, a Catholic bishop, representing
wilma, said a general had informed
him that the soldiers would never fire
on Christians, but only on Jews. He
said he was convinced that the chief
administrative officials always were
capable of stopping excesses if they
cared to do so.
Ropp acknowledged that some dis
content was felt by the police against
the Jews, the cause being the model
organization of the Jews, which is
the envy of the Christians. 1t was
necessary, he said, to give self gov
ernment to the western provinces or
else instructions would soon occur.
Deputy Villa Vinar, in the course
Of long speech, endeavored to prove
by documentary evidence that the
central government had participated
in the Jewish massacre for the pur-
pose Of forcing the Jews to betray
their revolutionary brethren; but the
deputy added, these Jewish revolu-
tionaries constituted a source of more
danger to the moderate Jews than to
the government. The Jewish race,
he said, is small, but strong, and its
strength was in its despair Its ally
was the whole Russian race, which
was indignant against such acts of
criminal barbarity. This statement
was applauded by the center and left.
NJ. Rodicheff, in an earnest speech,
which was approved by all sections
of the country, described the policy
of the government as being full Of
falsehoods, which were leading the
country into unheard Of dangers.
The ministers have refused to re.

Special to the World.
Madill, July 9.-Yesterday while
well drillers were at work on the j.
w. Marchland property situated a
block from the depot on the Main
street in this city, flow of gas was
struck at a depth Of 140 feet. The
flow was strong one and from four
pipe the gas Was shot twenty feet in
the air. The gas was set on fire and
for two hours it burned fiercely.
The well was later capped and is
now under control.
The town is pretty much excited
tonight. Gas was struck once before
in this vicinity-about a half mile
from this point but it was not fol-
lowed up. This flow is so strong that
it is probable that there will be
something done about marketing it.
The town was greatly excited when
the news was scattered that gas had
ben struck but later the feeling gave
way to normality and tonight there
is no particular excitement over the
affair.
