Washington. Sept 19.-When the
attention of w. c. Haskell. formerly
United States marshal at Cleveland,
was called to the statement of Gov
ernor Haskell of Oklahoma that it
was he whom Mr.. Hearst referred to
in his Columbus speech as having
had relations with the Standard Oil
Company. Mr., Haskell said:
Governor Haskell is evidently
mistaken. never had any connec-
tion with the Standard Oil Company
or any of its officers. either in a busi-
ness or a social way, and have never
had the pleasure of an acquaintance
with the officials or members of the
Standard Oil Company"

Chicago. Sept. 19.-In the face of
the assertion of Mr. Hearst at ST.
Louis that the affidavit signed by
F, S. Monett. former attorney general
of Ohio. Identifying Governor c. N
Haskell of Oklahoma as having been
a party to the Standard OILS alleged
negotiations. Governor Haskell today
declared the statements to be abso-
lutely false.
The assertion that had any
thing to do with the Standard Oil
Company is absolutely false" said
Governor Haskell. 'On the day that
the affidavits are said to have been
signed, September IL. 1905, Mr.. Mo-
nett was in Oklahoma City. and on
that day made speech in which he
eNonerated me from all connection
with Standard Oil matters. 1t is un-
believable that any man should make
such a speech and on the same day
sign an affidavit stating a contrary
thing. There is no truth in the

A lot of pleasant official vacations
in September have been cut very
short. The president is returning
All the others of his executive force

1t seems to have been overlooked

tuberculosis congress. When he de-
parted, however. it was generally
understood that the White House
doors would not swing open for him
and his family till October /. That
was the date of his return last sum

date.

Make Mistakes

So many howls have been made all
over the Tri-state circuit in reference
to the unspeakable umplring Of the

nors, that President Carpenter has
felt It necessary to go into print in
order that the patrons might know
what he thinks of the situation: His
statement follows:
"There is considerable speculation
among followers Of the game as to
what my Instructions are to the UNI
pires regarding close plays. They are
very brief and to the point. If a play
er is out one inch or ten feet call hi n
out There is no such thing as a
close play; It is either a matter Of
out or not out and IL I gave IN
structions contrary to these, and the
umpires executed them in accordance
with such orders, we would be guilty
of fiagrant crookedness. ] have been
asked a number of times If the home
club or a base runner should not be
given the benefit of a close play. There
is no such rule in baseball.
Regarding the incompetency Of the
Tri- State umpiring staff, wish to say
that there is none in the United States
who do not make mistakes The best
ball players in the business make mis-
takes. and plenty Of them, which cost
clubs more games than the reports you
hear from ball clubs attributing the
defeats solely to inefIlciency Of the UNI

Pretty Lots in Southwest Conway are
Placed on the Market.

The new Boulevard addition, as
replatted by Mrs. Ida B. Frauen-

on the market, after two months
work of surveying and plating the
ground. The addition lies in the
southwest part Of the city between
Central College and the State Nor
NAL school, and embraces about
$50 acres. The ground has been
plated into about 400 residence
lots, which for the most part are
finely shaded and afford some OF
the prettiest building sites in the
city. The streets are broad and
an alley runs at the rear OF each
lot.
The property is being sold by
Banner & Co., and the prices are
said to be very reasonable. Sever
al of the lots have already been

CONTRACT TO Be LET JULY IS
Plans Being Drawn for New
School Building.
Modern Structure with Twelve Class
Rooms and Large Auditorium to
be Erected at Once.

Advertising this week for bids,
the school board of the special dis
trict of Conway will on July IS
award the contract for a splendid
new school building, the estimated
cost of which is $50, 900. Archi-
tect c. L. Thompson of Little
Rock is now drawing the plans,
which will be in readiness on July
8. Only seven days will therefore
be allowed contractors to prepare
the bids, the idea of the board be-
ing to save as much time and
start the work as soon as possible.
The outside dimensions of the
new building will be I65 feet front
by depth of 13o feet, and will
contain 1890 square feet of floor
space, over 1000 feet more than the
State Normal building now being
erected in this city. There will
be twelve class rooms 27 by 80
feet in size, six on each floor.
Each room it is estimated, will
comfortably seat 90 pupils, max
ing the total capacity 72o. Each
class room will have cloak room
five feet wide across the length OF
the room. The rooms on both
floors will be grouped around a
large auditorium, the stage and
main part of which will be on the
ground floor, with a balcony ex-
tending out from the second floor.
The seating capacity of the audi
torium will be 500, but 1000 peo-
pie could easily be accommodated
within it's walls.
While not fire proof in the tech
nical sense of the word, the new
building will be practically free
from any danger from fire. 1t will
be heated by steam and the steam
heating plant will not be in base
ment, but in separate building al
the rear of the school. All of the
partition walls will be of brick in
stead of the usual stud" walls.
There will be four entrances to the
building, and two extra exits from
the auditorium, which with wide
halls and stairways and outward
swinging doors, will make panic
an impossibility.
The foundation walls will be O
concrete and the walls will be IS
inches thick to the second story
Pressed brick will be used on al
outside walls. The roof will be o
slate.
