YET LOCATED
False Report Creates
Stir---NO Town is
Selected

An Express reporter, feeling that the
readers would be Interested In some
thing to the point from the CONNER
cial club regarding the attitude OF the
packing plant proposition, interviewed
Secretary Allard This morning on the
question.
Mr. Allard said as Introductory 10
his remarks "The publication Of
false claims to temporarily boom a
town in time works injury and dis
appointment TO the place resorting to
such tactics Continuing, he said:
"a telegram Is going the rounds Of the
press. sent from a neighborlng city. to
the effect that the s. & S. Packing
Company has accepted bonus and viii
locate packing plant. etc.
THE fact is-and we know whereof
We speak-the S. & S. Packing Com.
pany has not gone into any contract
with any corporation and at the proper
time Chickasha will have the attention
Of the s. & s. people. The parties fig
uring In Oklahoma today who are rep
resented at S. & s.. interests have no
longer connection even as employees
with that company They have at
times communicated with citizens of
Chickasha regarding the location of
plant OF about one-sixth the capac-
itv Of the 5. & S. proposition and at
times they have been given to UNDER
stand that while Chiekasha would be
pleased to confer with them ana learn
what they might want she had no
proposition 10 make them. ehiekasha
prefers rather TO keep herself in an
attitude to be in no way embarrassed
when the S. & S. Company is ready
to come to the Southwest as it is
certain they win IN time
Mr.. Allard dismissed the subject
with the remark "Chickasha is turn
ing down no good propositions along
that line. neither is she looking for
anything to build up temporary
booms

The postmaster Is in receipt of "a

ture and poster from the '"Model Ii
cense League" OF Huntington. They
are now trying to use the postil1asters
in their nefarious schemes. Undoubt-
e;lly the liquor men are getting in a
tight place. They enclose a lot Of clip
pings from the Wheeling Register. We
have long recognized the Register as
the dirtiest sheet in the State and the
fact that they are the willing servants
OF the lawless liquor element should
surprise no one. In one editorial they
say, the proposed law would make
the liquor traffic a respectable bust
ness" Yet at the same time that the
devil gets respectable and law-abiding.
1t could put on a thin veneering Of
responsibility, but like q wolf In

object Of all this Is let.. out in the clos.

will do much to stop tne,
prohibition clamor.' Oh! just so.
There lies the rub. Just as we sup
posed Don't anybody be led astray
by MI this slush ond fog raising. Why
do not the liquor men try to reform
the business before this? Why. did
they wait until they say themselves
in danger of being put out OF bust
ness? Why are they now 50 anxious
to purify" the business? Why nil this
clamor for more extreme saloon laws?
The answer Is given by their mouth
piece. To stop the prohibition clamor.
How long will they stay gaod? Till

forget that. 4SG

Great Conan Play.

One of the most uniquely interesting

in man years is the role of kid
Burns in George NJ. Cohan's success.
full n highly entertaining play with
music, "Forty-F Five Minutes From
Broadway" which Cohan n Harris
Will present at the Keylor Grand soon.
AS conceived by Mr.. Conan. Burns
is a retired prize fighter, all of whose
exciting years of existence have been
spent between Broadway and the Bow
cry in New York city, and who at
the rising of the curtain appears as the
private secretary of a newly budded
millionaire in the suburban town of
New Rochelle-just forty-five MINUTES
from Broadway. from which the piece
derives its title. 1t is but natural that
the life of the Tillagers should present
to the Kid" a strange contrast to the
the Great White Way at an hour when
many of his neighbors had long been
asleep and his observations along these
ines are such as to keep the audience .
in a continual state of laughter. Kid
Burns" will be portrayed by Charles
Brown. who was never seen to better !
advantage. and his song which has the
same title as the NAV itself iS ono
of the hits of the piece. Elizabeth

charming cor1ediennes will be seen rs !
