PRESIDENT SMALL
REVIEWS THE YEAR

President Smalrs address was listened
10 with great interest by the members.
Calling attention to the fact that the
Board has been in existence twenty
years Mr.. Small gave expression 10 the
uniform courtesy and good feeling which
had existed through his administration.
and said the year had been one Of dis
tinct advance in work for the public good.
Mr.. Small called attention TO the death
OF eight members during the year. and
spoke feelingly Of the good qualities and
public spirit with which each Of them
was inspired He reviewed briefly the
| part the Board OF Trade took In the dedi-
cation Of the Crosby Noyes memorial
! consisting Of bronze bust placed at the
main entrance OF the new Municipal
Building, which took place on February
/ % OF the present year. He also described
! the unveiling OF the statue TO Alexander
/ Shepherd on May 3. 1909. and commended
/ the part taken therein by the commit
/ tee OF the Board.
The TEnfant obseques. on April q.
were similarly described, with the part
the Board Of Trade had therein.
High Pressure Water Service.
| In discussing the proposed high pres
sure water service for the business part
! OF the District, President Small said II
! had been necessary for the Commits
sioners to raise their estimate OF the
cost Of the service since it was first
made in 1903, because OF the Increased
cost OF iron pipe. He said the project
would now cost on a careful estimate,
$4,000
The project contemplates bringing
water by special main from the Fort
Reno reservoir above Tennallytown TO
the center of the city. with a special pipe
! service and hydrants Mr.. Small said
the effect Of the installation Of this ser
vice would be far reaching. not merely
serving 10 protect the business section
/ Of the city. but enabling the engines now
necessary for service there TO be detailed
TO the remoter residential sections. leaving
the downtown section TO be served direct
ly from about 200 hydrants to which hose
could be attached and the water forced
higher than any engine could throw il,
by gravity alone
Mr.. Small maintained that in the end
the service would be economical. and
would greatly increase the efficiency of

CONFERENCE DOOMED TO FAIL
Powers May Not Be Able to Adjust
Differences at Naval
Meeting.

LONDON. Jan. 22,-There is growing
impression here that the powers will not
be able to reconcile their differences and
that the international naval conference
which opened here last month, is doomed to
failure.
America is included in this group. for the
American delegates, acting on instructions
from Washington. refused particularly to
concede anything on the question Of con
tinuous voyages" This question is regarded
as vital by the United States. and having
made concessions to the other powers on
points regarded by them to be vital, 1t is
now looking for a little reciprocity, but up
to the present time this has not been forth
coming
Last week the conference was proceeding
smoothly and the delegates were predicting
that an agreement would be reached Feb
ruary /, and a code of laws drawn up and
signed by the middle of the month.

HASKELL ISSUES STATEMENT
Oklahoma Governor Explains Conuec-
tion with Indian Territory
Town Lot Controversy.

MUSKOGEE, Okl.. Jan. Ex-Governor
Charles n. Haskell issued a statement to-
day explaining his connection with the In
dian territory town lot controversy, which
is to be made the subject of a federal grand
jury investigation next week and which is
expected to result in many indictments
being found.
The governor attributes the controversy
to the reports made by the agents Of w. r.
Hearst, the New York editor. who, he says.
have been trying to have him indicted The
governor quotes an affidavit made by T. 8.
Russell, editor of the Shawnee Herald, at
Shawnee Okl., to the effect that Attorney
NJ I. Mott, who brought the 10000 civil
suits to test the titles to Indian lands, has
said:
II cannot find evidence to connect Haskell
with any criminal conduct in relation to
the Muskogee lot matters but may be able
to force an Indictment which will answer
our purpose"
This statement attributed to Mr.. Mott is
alleged by the governor in his statement
to have been made by Scott MacReynolds.
Mr. MacReynolds was arrested at Guthrie
recently on charges OF Governor Haskell
that Mac Reynolds, who has been collecting
testimony for Mr.. Hearst's attorneys to be
used in the libel suit of Haskell against
Hearst, had sought to defame Governor
Haskell.
