Opie Reed delightfully."- and In

dlence that has yet greeted any speak
er on the course Of the Fairmont Ly'
ceum. Association at the Normal Audi
torium Saturday evening.
The speaker was introduced by
Mayor Nicely, n brother Elk. In d lfew
we'll chosen words which pleased the
audience 80 well that more lengthy
introduction would have been toler
ated, but the mayor being a public
speaker OF considerable note himself.
remembered that he had been intro
duced to an audience In Barbour coun'
ty during the last campaign by an
ardent supported Of the Jeifersonian
Democracy wearing a flannel shirt
and celluloid collar. who took up so
much time In the Introduction that
could nave been better used by the
mayor. that he then resolved that II
he ever mad a chance to introduce q
speaker that he would make It as brief
as possible.
Opie Reed gets down close to hu.
man nature in his sensible, talks and
drives his point home with much force
and effect He possesses 1.-THE sense
OF humor TO a higa degree which
makes his lectures highly entertain.
Ing. z.'as L
Tie large attendance accorded the
closing Plumbers Of the Lyceum's
course Is somewhat encouraging. al.
though its losses in putting UP big
course this season have been con
siderable and unless better support
is promised for the beginning OF next
season It is doubtful whether another
course vii be attempted.

PROSECUTOR REPLIES TO
CHARGE OF 0KLAH0MANS
Assistant Attorney General Denies
improper Practice in His
Office

OMAHA, March 17.-Sylvester r.
Rush, special assistant to the attorney
general of the United States, in charge
of Oklahomas alleged land fraud
cases, referring to certain statements
published recently, said today:
LAS to the charges of improper prac-
tice and conduct made against me by
the defense in the investigation of the
Muskogee town lot fraud, where indict-
ments were returned against Governor
Charles n. Haskell and six other per-
sons on charges of defrauding the gov
eminent and the Creek Indians OF their
lands, 1 have this to say, that like the
news from the Potomac these charges
will be important if true, but unfor-
tunately for the defendants they are
absolutely false.
"When the government shows up, as
it will be able to do, the corrupt in
fiuences and intimidation resorted to
to influence the several grand jurors to
make false statements to invalidate
the indictments, certain persons Will
have trouble enough to last them life
time"

SANTA FEES PROPOSED
BOND ISSUE POSTPONED
New Law Enacted in Kansas Causes
Railway Company to Abandon
Project

NEW YORK, March 17.-FolloWing
a meeting today of the executive COM
mittee of the Atchiso1, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway company, Walker
D. Hines. acting chairman, gave out
the following statement:
Some time ago the company began
consideration of the plan to issue adj
ditional convertible bonds with q view
of raising new capital while market
conditions were favorable, although
the company had no immediate need
for money.
after the details of the plan had
been decided on it was learned that
the Kansas legislature, under the
laws of which state the company is
incorporated, had passed a stock and
bond act regulating future capital is
sue.
"While this act has not yet taken
effect and would not have applied to
the contemplated issue if made at
once. yet after elaboration it was de-
cided that it was not advisable to
make the issue upon the eve of the
act taking effect: but that it was
preferable to postpone the entire mat
ter and at some convenient time make
application to the Kansas board of
railroad commissioners for the GER
tificate contemplated by the new act"

KANSAS CITY, March Ito the
bachelor-he who enjoys single
blessedness"-is to come much woe
and sorrow here and hereafter, accord
ing to Bishop Robert Mcintyre of
Denver in a lecture on "Buttoned-Up
People" at the Independence Avenue
Methodist church last night.
The bishop believes the bachelor is
sinning against God and is defeating
his divine will.
Woe unto him who cuts across the
grain of Gods scheme of the universe.
We hear much about single blessed
ness and the joy of independence, but
there is no such thing. The great
Creator never made a single thing.
Everything in the universe has its
better other half. Man cannot set
himself against Gods will and come
out of the battle unscathed. The love-
less bachelor has boosted of his but
toned-up happiness, but he will sorrow
for it all
"Woe unto him, I say, but let him
beware of the life to come. He is

DIVES BOYCOTT
MANY MEXICANS
IN SON0RATOWN
Many Saloon Keepers Resent Recent
Appeal to Police Commissioners
for Protection to Victims
of Blind Pigs

A singular and beneficial boycott has
apparently been placed upon Mexicans
by a large number of saloons in Los
Angeles The rumor became current
in Sonoratown yesterday that Mexi-
cans were not welcome in many of the
saloons outside that district. To test
the report four MeXicans went to
Tenth and Main streets yesterday and
walked from that point up Main street
to the Plaza. They declare they were
refused attention in nearly, II not all,
the saloons along that popular thor
oughfare. Near First street a barten-
der gave the first intimation of the
trouble:
"Youse fellers amt goin' to get a
drink in here. You'll be sending for
The Herald to investigate us and then
you'll send a petition to the police
commission. Youse don't deserve a
decent drink
This is believed to be an echo of the
action of the police commissioners in
reVoking the license of a dive keeper
who blocked the police in their efforts
to detect the assailant of Jacinto Guz-
NAL. who was fatally stabbed in his
resort on San Fernando street a week
ago last Sunday.
In speaking of the boycott last
night one of the Mexican citizens who
signed the petition 10 the ponCe Cum
missioners asking them to close the
numerous blind pigs and gambling re-
sorts in Sonoratown said:
81 am glad they are refusing to sell
drinks to our Mexican friends. If they
will remain sober and clear-headed
and look about them they will see how
they are being preyed upon by a gang
of harpies. Many of them are robbed
of their weekly earnings each Sunday
when they frequent the low resorts
that are running in violation of the
law in our district We are going to
await the new police commission and
the inevitable reorganization of the po-
Ice department, and then we shall
make another and what we believe will
be a successful effort to clean up
SonoratoWn."
