NO MORE SALOONS
ON EAST STREET

No more licenses will be issued for
saloons on East street This decision
was reached yesterday by the Police
Commissioners and four applications for
permits to conduct saloons there were
denied. President Leahy stated that
the Commissioners would not issue
licenses so that the new structures
erected along the street would be of a
permanent character. such as other
businesses would demand. instead OF
himsy temporary affairs
The street is lined with cheap shacksu
nearly all of which are used for ss
looms
The refusal OF licenses. it is Thought
Will induce the property owners to be-
gin to build permanent buildings at
once.
The designations of Policemen E. ].
Winters, John H. Cramer and Frank q.
Rattan were read and accepted by the
board.
Four new policemen were appointed
to the force-F. J. Staeglich. John. n
Harper. Herman c. .Hectrum and H. H.
Chamberlain.
Two hundred junk men petitioned the
board that they be allowed to resume
the business Of gathering junk The
petition was taken under advisemen+.
Since the fire the right to gather Junk
has been curtailed, but those formerly
engaged in the business believe that
conditions are sufficiently normal to
have the old privileges restored.

night The two men started for a
stroll last evening and drank consid-
erable at saloons along their route. On
reaching the corner of Union and Dn-
pont streets the conversation turned to
the relative merits of their native cit

prove the superiority of his own town,

GIRLS MUST KEEP
OUT Of AUTOS

Young girls Of tender years will be
denied the pleasures of long rides in
the still OF the night with chauffeur
friends. Such is the edict OF Captain
OF Police Mooney Of the Bush street
station. Any girls under age found
travelling without a proper escort in
an automobile in his district will be
taken into custody Captain Mooney
is determined to stop the practice of
automobilists leading girls astray.
After midnight trips OF the auto
mobilists have frequently been en-
livened by numerous stops at resorts
along the roads and rides are often
followed by overnight stays at a
road house.
The custom of chauffeurs to take
girls under age on all night trips has
been brought to the attention of the
police captain on numerous occasions
and he has decided to stop the prac-
tice. Offending young women will be
taken into custody as will all chauf-
feurs. Policemen will hail cars when
they believe the law is being broken
and satisfactory explanation will be
required.

BERGER VIOLATES
EXCLUSION ACT

Captain Hans Berger, captain Of the
Norwegian ship Thyra, was held for
trial yesterday by United States Com
missioner Heacock for having allowed
three Chinese members of his crew to
go ashore in violation of the Chinese
exclusion act. His bonds were fixed At
$1,000. Captain Berger explained that
he was ignorant of the law and that
he did not read the printed circular of
instructions handed him. His neglect
to read that more or less interesting e
periodical may cost him $500. the
penalty being $500 for each Chinese
person allowed to escape.
His story was to the effect that he
sent the three Chinese sailors uptown
to purchase supplies of rice. tea and
other provisions for the crew, and
that laden with goods on their way
back to the ship they were inter-
cepted and arrested by. Chinese Watch
man NJ. S. Blackburn.
Had Captain Berger sent a guard
with the Chinese his case would not
have been so hopeless.

opening of the Legislature in the new
Red Mems Hall next Monday. The
desks in both the Assembly and Senate
chambers have been stationed with
ample room for the officers of both

capable of seating $50 spectators. Be-
sides the galleries there will be in each

1t must be confessed, however, that
the lobbyists will have pretty cramped
quarters and that the born orators of
both houses will not have the old time

which they found inspiration for so
many flights of rhetoric. The news

stayed there. For the police had awak-
ened and remembered that while it was
not against the law for the United Rail-

and dignity Of the city for those pa

lives for the sake OF their hot suppers.

Park stations were detailed in the

The announcement from Kansas and
other states that the primary system,
as practiced in Oklahoma in the recent
election, was failure, will be received
by the democrats of the country with
much felicitation. Those outsiders,
who like old maids are good authority
on the methods of rearing children, and
who have observed the rottenness of
the system about to be saddled upon
the unsuspecting Oklahomans, will re-
ceive due consideration when the dem
ocrats assemble to throw spasm after
spasm over the political ingratitude of
their fellew men. While the HERALD
is no mouth piece for the democratic
party nor takes any space in assisting
it in its scraps it cannot help making
few observations. 1t has been charged
that the slow returns from the recent
election is proof of the assertion that
the plan is worthless, and that in this
delay there is plenty of opportunity to
tamper with the ballots 1t is also
claimed that as purse reducer, it is
second to no plan ever devised As
matter of fact it does open the channel
for the liberal expenditure of the me-
dium of circulation, but on the other
hand man can wiggle along with as
little expense as he chooses and stand
good chance 10 win. In Texas county
the man who wasn't consid cred in it
for sheriff, and who wouldn't have
been in convention, won hands down.
He never spent very much either For
United States senator it is claimed that
Gore couldn't spend much had he so
desired, but he won against all money
that he could turn loose. Every poll
tician of note in oklahoma and Indian
territory was opposed to Haskell, and
men who study politics will agree that
had Haskell been Obliged 10 take his
chances in convention with Cruce he
would have stood as much chance of
landing the nomination as the devil |
would in being elected president of the
Epworth League. As for the slow re-
turns phase of the situation there is |
one thing to consider: Most of Okla
homa and Indian territory is not inter-
laced with telephone systems like |
states 100 years old The returns have
to be brought in by carrier who in !
many places has to travel go miles. As
viewed by the common people the pri-
mary has been splendid success, for
It enabled them TO pick out the man
they wanted. 1t has forced the profess
'ional politicians to get out and let the
people become acquainted with him,
and they simply voted for the one who
suited them. II the vote fell below ex-
pectations it might be attributed to the
busy season, for there was no particular
howl in this section about the method.
Looking at it from the other side of the
political fence we have concluded that
we will not endeavor TO set the western
half of the state on fire because the
constitution contains the pri-
mary election clause .-Guymon Herald. l

The jamestown Exposition.

NORFOLK, VA.-Executive Commits
sioner Bolin, Of the Ohio commission to
the jamestown Exposition has made an
Interesting report TO the members of
the commission regarding affairs at the
exposition. Mr.. Rolin has been on the
grounds for the past two months in
daily touch with every thing going on
Mr.. Bolin says: THE newspaper re-
ports which are being published in the
north and west seem to me to be very
unjust, and know in a great many in
stances the long bow has been drawn
pretty freely. The outside work of the
exposition building is now / believe,
complete in every detail that is required
to make the proper showing All the
buildings have been completed and the
park about the plaza as we'll
The greatest delay is on the govern
ment pier and iris probably gives
more complete effect to the exposition
than anything else because the COM
pany's office, tool sheds and other tenn
porary structures are still needed
Work on the pier has reached a stage
now where every stroke shows. The
pylons on the land end of each arm of
the pier, are completed and with all the
staff decorated make very beautiful
finish. The baiustrade and lines are
strung along one arm of the pier and
the towers are being erected on the sea
end of the pier The pier when COM
pleted will be the greatest feature of
this or any other exposition, / believe.
and should be fully accomplished in all
its detail by the first of July.
Son thr 30th of May the War Path
was formally opened, so that this is
now feature of the exposition, Many
of the attractions of the War Path are
recognized by those who have seen them
and pretend to know TO be of the very
finest that have ever been shown at
any exposition. Mr.. Buchanan, the
right-hand man of Governor Francis of
the Louisiana Purchase exposition at
st, Louis, was here the other day and
he pronunces this in many respects the
most interesting and well-planned ex-
position that has ever been shown to
the people He says that it is now
further advanced than the one at Buff
falo was during the same period after
the opening date.
81 hope that you will find yourselves
many time in position to contradict the
very unjust criticisms Of the news
papers. The organized Baptists of the
north and south met here at the James
town exposition for the first time since
the war This is simply one instance
of the great good that the exposition
may do and will do toward re-establish- |
ing the new ties of fraternalism be-
tween the two sections if all parties !
will grasp the opportunity, but if the
northern newspapers continue the tao
