BIG GPOWWOW
Of Republicans Will Be
Held in BartIesviIIe
Monday.

The meeting Of the Republican ex-
ecutive committee of the Indian Ter
ritory at Bartlesyille next Monday
and Tuesday will without doubt be
the most important political gather
ing ever held in the territory. The
executive committee Of Oklahoma has
been invited to be present, and Re-
publicans from all over the new state
will also be there making political
medicine.
Grant Victor chairman Of the In
dian Territory committee, has shown
his disregard Of Oklahoma factional
politics by sending special invitations
to Bird S. Mcclure, Dennis Flynn,
Governor Frank Frantz and ex-Gov-
ernor It. B. Ferguson. 1t is expected
that they will all be present, and the
two Oklahoma factions will be on an
absolute equality as far as the Indian
Territory Republicans are concerned
The most important work to be TAX
en- up by the committee viii be the
decision as to whsther Indian Terrto-
ry shall follow Oklahoma's lead and
hold conventions for the nomination
Of congressional candidates at once.
1t is the general opinion shat the In
dian Territory Republicans will de-
eide to wait until after the constitu-
tion is made before making nomina-
tions. The only paper in the territory
that desires early conventions is the
Muskogee Phoenix, and even it has
been wavering lately.
The question Of the amalgamation
of the Oklahoma aud Indian Terrific
ry committees may be brought up
but they viii probably continue to
work separately, though harmonious
ly, especially If the Indian Territory
decides against early congressional
conventions.

About forty young Republicans met
last night in the court house for the
purpose Of organizing Young Mems
Republican club. The meeting was
called to order by Z. III. Smith and
organized by the election of Will
Meeks as temporary chairman and
John w. Blue as secretary. A COM
mittee consisting of G.. N. BebOut,
o. L. Connor and Il. ii. Smith was
appointed to draw up constitution
and bylaws.
This being all the business that
could be transacted, number of
speeches were heard. w. NJ.
Simms was called for, but said he was
no speechmaker, but would do all IN
his power to assist the club.
C.B. Rogers spoke at some length
in support Of the idea Of the club.
He said political prejudice is the
hardest thing in the world to con-
quer, especially after man has
taken part in two or three campaigns.
TO make converts then the thing to
do is to begin with the young men.
The Republican party appeals to
young men, and if the young men Of
Oklahoma are gone after right away
they will most of them line up with
this party.
r. M. McChntock made short talk,
emphasizing the fact that young men
favor progress, and that therefore
they should join the Republican par
ty Of Oklahoma, the party Of prog
ress.
G. N. Bebout thought the young
men should pay especial attention to
the making OF the constitution. Not
many Of them, he said, will be dele
gates to the convention, but still they
should take an Intelligent interest
in the work and make their impress
felt.
E. fl. Smith told how he, south
ern man, with Democratic father,
came to be Republican. The two
chief factors were the rottenness Of
Goebel Democracy in Kentucky and
the free silver craze
Rev. A. J. Williams announced that
he is a Republican from principle, and
always willing to do what he can to
assist those who are laboIing for the
success Of the principles Of the party.
OIL. Connor said that he had been
charged with having become q Re
publican for revenue only. He said it
was his admiration for Tom Reed
that made a Republican Of him. He
predicted that the Democrats who
are now so confident of the big major
titles they will roll up in the new
state will be sadly disappointed after
the first election.
DR.. Morris Frazee was then pre-
vailed upon to talk, and he stirred
the boys up as no one else can do, In
his own inimitable way he told Of his
conversion from Democracy to Re-
publicanism. He impressed il upon
the minds Of the young men that
they weren't to look at the money
eide Of every question solely do the
thing that's right. 1t doesn't matter
what people call you: study; and then
do the thing that's right and unself-
ish and unprejudiced and rational and
honest and upright. And if you do

and will also give the governor some-
thing to do In the afternoon. At the
reception lemonade will be served,
there will be speech of welcome by
Seymour Riddle, president OF the club,
and response by the governor.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. II. Darrough will
entertain tile governor at dinner at s
O'Clock, and III the evening, beginning
at o'clock, will give a reception in
his honor, to which many invitations
have been sent out.
Sunday morning the governor has
an appointment to meet his Old
Rough Rider comrades at tile home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Darrough After
wards he will attend church services
at the Methodist church. and viii
take dinner and spend the afternoon
at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. @. Al.
Davidson. He viii probably leave
Vinita Sunday night with Mr.. David
son for Bartlesville.
The Commercial club committee
wishes it distinctly understood that
everybody, townspeople and country
people alike, are expected to meet the
governor in the afternoon at tile club
rooms.

ANNEXATION
MUST COME
Cubans Will Not Be Given a Third
Chance to Fail.
Self Government Seems Impossible -
Sugar and Tobacco Men Will OBJ
iect to Free Competition, but It
Must Come - No Action Likely
This Winter.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Republican
senators and congressman who have
been in Washington recently and ofti-
cials closely identified with the admin
istI alton agree with the president that
Cuba shall have another opportunity to
try self government, but the opinion is
almost universal that annexation is
only a matter OF time. Little is being
said publicly about the probability OF
annexing Cuba to the United States,
but the subject is receiving a great deal
of attention in Washington and public
men are seriously discussing the best
method of bringing the island under
the protecting arm of the United States.
President Roosevelt is absolutely sim
cere in his declaration against the
present annexation of Cuba and he has
hopes that the Cuban people, on thier
second attem pit, will be able to form
and maintain satisfactory govern.
ment. He does not want the island
made part of the United States if, by
any possibility, the Cubans can con
duct their own affairs and protect the
lives and property of all their citizens.
He does not believe that the United
States at this time would be justified
in taking over the island, merely be.
cause vast amounts of American capital
have been invested. But if the words
of other administration officials can be
held to be authoritative, it is to be in
ferred that the president will interpose
no further objection to annexation IN
case the second Cuban government is
failure.
While annexation is generally ex'
pected, no one looks forward to it with
enthusiasm. Rather, the Cuban prob.
lem is regarded in the light of one OF
the unpleasant outgrowths of the Span
ish war, as perpleing in some respects
as the Philippine question. Southern
men would like to see Cuba made
American territory. but they want the
tariff wall kept up against Cuban sugar
and tobacco, and some bar erected
against the immigration OF native Gu
bans into the Unite States. The South
has more than its share of dusky citi-
zens.
1t is probable that the men in con-
gress Who are fighting a reduction OF
the duty on Philippine sugar and to-
bacco would join the South in demand
ing the retention of the tariff on sugar
and tobacco from Cuba in case of an.
nexation. If Philippine sugar lie q
menace to the beet sugar industry of
the West, it will he argued that the
sugar IRON Cuba, closer and much more
abundant, would be still greater
menace.

MRS. DAVIS DEAD.
Widow of President Of Confederacy
Passes Away.

New York, Oct. 17.-Mrs. jefferson
Davis, widow of the president OF the
Confederacy, who .as been i'll for u
week at the Hotel Majestic in this city,
died at 1925 last night.
Death was due to pneumonia induced
by severe cold which Mrs. Davis con-
tracted upon her return from the Ad-
irondacks, where she had spent the
summer months. Although grave fears
were felt from the first, Mrs. Davis
wonderful vitality, which brought her
safely through similar attack a year
ago, gave hope of ultimate recovery
until Monday night, when a decided
change for the worse was evident and
the attending physician announced that
the end was near. 1t was then believ-
ed that Mrs. Davis could not survive
the night, but che rallied slightly dur
ing the early hours Of yesterday.
Shortly after 7 o'clock yesterday
morning she had similar tp,ll and
Rev. Nathan A. Seagle, rector OF st..
Stephens Protestant Episcopal church,
was hurriediy summoned to give religi-
ous com tort to the patient in her last
moments of consciousness. The clergy
man remained some time and an hour
later it was announced that Mrs. Davis
had larsed into state of coma. The
period of Inconsistencies lasted to the
end.
Mrs. Davis has for some years made
her home in this city, where she had a
wide circle of friends. Throughout her
illness solicitous inquiries regarding
her condition were continually made
at her apartments.

GUILTY OF CIV
ING REBATES
Verdict Against New York Central
and Its Traffic Manager.
Jury Decides in an Hour - Railroad
Lawyer Says Public Opinion Did
t. Company and Pomeroy May
Each Be Fined Sum of $4,000
for Offense.

New York, Oct. ia verdict oi
guilty of granting rebates on sugar
shipments w&s returned by jury in
the United States court here today
against the New York Central Railroad
company and Frederick l.. Pomeroy,
the company'e general traffic manager
Sentence was deferred until Friday to
permit the attorneys for the defense to
file motions with the court.
In discussing the jury's verdict, Aus,
tin G. Fox, counsel for the defendants,
placed the responsibility for the convic-
tion of his clients upon public opinion
"You can't defend rebate cases Elm the
present state of public opinion" said
he.
According to the provisions of the
Elkins act, under which the convictions
were secured, the maximum penalty is
a fine of $40, ,OO0. As both the Central
and the personal defendant, Frederick
J.. Pomeroy, are convicted by the deci.
sion of the jury on. all of the counts
charged in the indictment, the total
fine for each can be $4,000.
Letters from Lowell M. Palmer,
manager of the traffic business of the
sugar refining company, to Mr.. Pome-
roy, acknowledging the receipt OF drafts
amounting to thousands of dollars,
were admitted. 1t is charged that
these drafts represented the payment OF
a rebate of s cents per hundredweight
on shipments of sugar to w. II. Edgar

The congestion has rapidly been in

been coming into the city at the rate CT

Arch of Trajan.

Triumphal arches were among the
most peculiar forms Of art which the
Romans borrowed from those around
them, and used with that strange mix
ture of splendor and bad taste which
characterizes all their works.
These were in the first instance no
doubt borrowed from the Etruscans, as
was also the ceremony of the triumph
with which they were ultimately asso-
clated. At first they seem rather to
have been used as festal entrances to
the great public roads, whose construc-

Havana Totally Isolated.

New York, Oct. 10. - At 2 o'clock
this morning cable communication with
Havana had not been restored and the
Western Union company was unable
to got in connection with Miami or
Key West, the land lines throughout
Southern Florida having been pros
trated.
1t is impossible to get information
that will give any basis for sn estimate
OF the damage in Havana. The cable
lines on the western Cuba end are con-
nected with Havana by land wires and
the presumption is that these wires
have been put out of commission, a
single dispatch received by the Asso'
ciated Press from Santiago de Cuba
stating that the weather there is
clear. This dispatch came by way OF
Bermuda, but Santiago de 9 ina, which
is nearly 500 miles from Havana, re-
ports that all wires to the capital are
down.
