SEEK TO ENJO|N
CITY COMMISSION
FIVE CITIZENS klLEGE THAT
FILTRATION PLANT CONTRACT
WASN'T PROPERLY AWARDED.

The disturbance in the realms of
municipal affairs took a new turn
yesterday afternoon when the mayor.
the members of the board OF com.
misioners and contractor George
Erichsen were made defendants in
an Injunction suit brought by Pot.
teri q Walker for Ed Byrd. J. X.
Dexter. Byron Drew, J. X. Penning.
ton and A. G. Streaehley. These five
plaintiffs allege that they are cit.
liens and heavy taxpayers of Ard.
more and that the mayor and board
OF commissioners are about to en-.
ter into final contract with Erichsen
to build a filtration plant for the
city with city funds in which they
have an interest and that the ad.
vertisemcnt for bids on the plant
was not complied with that the con.
tract was let to Erichsen when he
was nearly Sl.i00 higher than the
lowest bidder. and they ask the
district ocurt to enjo!n the board
from entering into final details with
Erichsen whereby he will build the
filtration plant In their petition the
plaintiffs state:
The action of said commissioners
ci the said city of Ardmore i'm de-.
claring the said Erlcheen entitled
to the contract for the construction
OF the said filtration plant, as above
set out. and their threatened action.
wherein they are about to enter into
binding contract with him for the
completion of the same at his said
Did, is unlawful and wrongful and
without authority or color of law
and their decision in the premises
was procured and brought about By
bias and prejudice on the part OF
the said commissioners and is also
capricious and arbitrary and not
rounded upon equity and good cen
science and is done without consid.
Grafton for the interest of these
plaintiffs and other taxpayers of
the city of Ardmore. or the best
interests of the said city"
Judge Russell, 1t is stated. will
be here Monday and in all probabil.
ity the matter will be brought be.
fore him and a temporary injunc-
tion granted. On account of the nee.
essity for the filtration plant, the
matter will doubtless be given an
cary hearing and will be determined
by Judge Russell

COTTON PRICE INQUIRY
Government will Investigate the
Bull Movement in Cotton.
news CAUSED WEAK MARKET
Operators Haynes, Brown, Scales and Patten
Are Supoenaed Before Special United
States Grand Jury.

New York City.-There has beeh
started in New York federal invest
cation without precedent in this coun-
try. The attorney general OF Tue
United States has ordered an inquiry
into the gigantic sull movement IN
cotton, with which the names OF Jas.
Patten of Chicago, Frank B. Hayne'
William P. Brown of New Orleans
and Eugene Scales of Texas have
been popularity connected.
Havne and Brown both appear as
defendants in the proceedings, but II
could not be learned whether MT. Fdt-
ten will be subpoenaed at chicago W
come here and testify. He mas peeh
generally credited, however, with pc
ing the financial genius OF the pool
and in recent interviews he has OUT
lined his bullisn position and his de-
termination to fight the supposed pear
clique which has been reshlpplng COT
ton to this country from England III
an endeavor to break the market. Inc
bull movement has reached Sucn
stage, however, that there are ru-
mors of a possible May corner Ill the
New York market.
Never before has the government
brought similar action against any
pool operating in the market on elther
the long or the short side. Subpoenas
were issued at the direction OF MI
Wickersham, commanding a dozen or
more prominent New York cotton
brokers to appear before special
federal grand jury to testify IN the
matter of the Omitted States against
Frank B. Hayne and William r.
Brown"
The subpoenas demand the submls-
sion to the special grand jury OF all
records, papers, letters, memorano Ia
and an agreement dated February 70
last by Hayne and Brown ana others'
The agreement, the subpoenas state'
was for the purchase of 150,OOO bales
of cotton for delivery in New YORK
during the months of May and July,
inclusive, at certain prices and under
certain conditions. The fixing OF the
prices and conditions, the govern
ment charges, was a violation OF the
law.
Announcement of the government S
action was followed by a very excited
break in prices on the New York cot
ton exchange, which at one time babe
fair to result in almost as great a
decentralization as that noted last Jan
uary.
Washington, D. C.-Attorney Gene
raj Wickersham has taken up the
cudgels against the reported pool in
raw cotton which, it is alleged, al
ready has resulted in an increased
price of that staple and a curtailment
of the output by manufacturers ana
consequent loss of employment by
mill hands.
The attorney general has given in
structions to have the matter inVesti-
gated by the grand jury in the south
ern district of New York and sub
poenas were issued there, with which
the officials of the department of JUS
tice say mark toe commencement OF
a thorough investigation by the gov
eminent of the alleged pool,

Washington, D. C.-The bill Great

Senator Lodge submitted to the
senate the report Of Dr. Harvey Will
ey on the subject of storage of food
products The report says that the
value of some foods, sucn as cheese,
ham, bacon, wine, beers and other
products, is increased by cold stor-
age; other products like eggs, milk
vegetables and butter are better
when used fresh. DR. Wiley adds that
surplus products should be kept in
cold storage for such time as they
are not in season, and approves of
canned goods, but says they ought not
to be carried in storage beyond one
season and that no food products
should be stored beyond nine months
