CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
IS MEETING AT TULSA

Tulsa, Okla. Sept. 2O-The demo
cratic third congressional committee
will meet in this city today. The pur-
pose of the meeting is to organize and
prepare for the coming campaign in
this district. James S. Davenport of
'Vinita, who was the first congressman
from this district, is the democratic
nominee against Charles E. Creager,
who is seeking a reelection on the
republican ticket. Davenport carried
the district by 1900 IN 1907 and lost ii
by 2,200 to Creager the following year.
The democrats are hopeful of regaiil-
ing the district this year as Creager is
likely to be opposed at the polls by
considerable element of the insurgent
wing of the republican party who do
not approve OF his subservleHee to the
Cannon organization in the present
congress. Creager, however, will poll
a heavier vote among the Indians this
year than he did two years ago and

CORPORATION COMMISSION
FIXES CITY GAS RATES

Guthrie, Okla Sept 2O.--The firsV
instance in which the corporation
commission has attempted to exercise
the power claimed by it under the con-
stitution Of fixing gas rates in cities,
occurred Monday when the commits
sion made an order fixing the rates to
be charged by the gas company st
Gotebo after October /. The old rates
charged by the company were 10 cents
per 1000 from 1000 to 5000 feet, so
cents per 1000 for from 5000 to co..
GOO feet. with minimum charge OF
81.
The order of the commission abol-
ishes the minimum charge which the,
corporation commission declares to be-
incompatible with the antitrust laws
OF Oklahoma and fixes the rate at 5
cents 1000 for all gas nacd up to
5000 feet and so cents for gas used
from 5000 to 10000 feet with 3 s per
cent discount when the bill Is paid
prior to the 10th of the month. The
commission and city authorities may
clash over the attempt of the commits
sion TO exercise this authority es the
city councils in many instances claim
the exclusive right to regulate rates
of gas and electric light companies
in Oklahoma.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Seventeen
men, forming the crews of two
wrecked fishing schooners, today
slid to safety on the slender life
line of the Sandy Hook life saving
station.
The vessels were driven ashore
on Sandy Hook by fierce gale

The schooner Franklin B. Nelson
was the first to be sighted in dis

launch their boat, but were buffeted
back by the breakers that rolled
mountain high. The gun and line
then were resorted to with success.
Man after man came ashore in
the breeches buoy, which, beaten by
the waves and pelted by hail, with
stood the elements until all were
rescued. Hardly had the last man
left the Nelson when she sank.
Almost Immediately the schooner
Libby struck. The life line again
was used by the men ashore and
every person on the Libby was
brought to safety. The Libby
seemed to withstand the pounding
of the waves and it is believed that
she can be saved.

BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. IA
score Of persons were Injured,
some fatally, when = Berkeley train
on the Key route pier, about two
miles from the shore, tolsecoped
an Oakland train, which had stop.
ped for signals early today.
A heavy fog enveloped the pier,
and the motorman of the Berkeley
train did not observe the danger in
time to reduce the momentum of
his train, which was at the rear,
and the motor car Of the oncoming
Berkeley train was hurled on top
of 1t, trucks and all.
WOMEN HURT.
All the more seriously injured
were in the Oakland smoker. A
number of women in the next car
and several in the front car Of the
Berkeley train were severely shak-
en- up and slightly injured.
A dozen men in the smoker were
crushed and mangled. Several
were unconscious when they were
taken out Of the wreck.
The pier at the point where the
wreck occurred Is just wide enough
for two tracks, and consists of piles
with ties laid across them, there
being no solid platform except a
very narrow passage way.
Panic prevailed among the wo-
men in the front part of the Berke-
ley train and in the Oakland train,
and cooler heads had difficulty in
preventing rush that undoubtedly
would have precipitated many into
the bay.
The injured were taken from the
Oakland smoker and stretched on
the ties of the inbound track. Here
some Of them were given aid by
passengers who took charge of the
situation. One of the pier tele-
phone stations was used to sum-
mon assistance, and the wrecking
car from the San Pablo station was
rushed out to the pier. Both trains
were heavily loaded with men and
women going to San Francisco to
work.
Hundreds climbed out of the win
dows and doors of the cars as soon
as the crash occurred and blocked
the narrow pier A boat from San
Francisco had just arrived in her
slip at the pier. and hundreds Of
persons. leaving 1t, walked down
the pier to the scene of the wreck.
This caused a congestion of excited
passengers on the narrow passage
way which made it extremely diff
cult for the officials to carry on
rescue work.

This is considered as tantamount to
