.GARv!N BOARD IS PAT
Strong Resolutions Against the
Removal of State
Capital

Pauls Valley, okla. May 9.-Mr L.
j. Oberholzer, Guthrie, Okia.l Dear
Sir: We, the board OF county com,
nissioners of Garvin county, Oklaho-
ma, in regular session. have this day
received YOU letter of the 21st ultimo.
relative to the relocation Of the cap
ltal OF the state Of Oklahoma under
the proposed initiated bill We desire
TO say to you that we heartily con
cur in what you have said in yonr
letter about the relocation of the
state capital. We believe when a
community, or county, or a state. or
a nation makes a solemn obligation,
that it is the duty of that community,
county, state. or nation. to regard Ii
as binding ON them as any kind of an
obligation would be on an Individual;
and since we, the people OF the state
OF Oklahoma, have entered into a sol
emn obligation with the United
states, whereby We have received the
benefits and emoluments4of citizenship
and statehood by that obligation that
1T IS such an obligation as we would
feel loath to break at this stage of
the game.
We are unalterably opposed to the
removal OF the state capital from
Guthrie at any time prior to 1913. and
we would say another hundred years
added to that II we had to remove il
under this present bill. We don't
mean to so on record as favoring
Gnthrie or any othe town for The 10
cation OF the capital, but we do want
TO go on record as being in opposi-
tion to this bill. or any other one like
IT. Tor the removal of the capital We
believe that it affords the greatest op-
portnniiy FOR graft and greed to
plundes the taxpayers of the state ot
Oklahoma that has ever been pro
mulgated. and for that reason we are
unalterably opposed TO its passage.
We believe that whenever the state
capital Is removed. II ever that the
taxpayers interest should be protect
ed and guarded against loot and graft
IN every particular, and, as we said
before, that is one reason. among
others, why we are opposed to this
Dlll at this time or any other time.
We are opposed TO the removal now
under any bill. Very respectfully
YOURS, h. c. Park. Chairman. ]. r.
Ham, jeff Gabbert, Commissioners.

Ottawa. Ont, May 9--An explosion
late Sunday evening wrecked the
plant of the General Explosives conl-
rany Of Canada, near Hall. Que. ltill-
ed fifteen persons and injured fifty
others. -
The force Of the explosion was ter,
Iifying. The country tor miles was
shaken and laid waste, and small
dwellings in the city Of Hull, on the
side the nearest to the scene OF the
explosion, were flattened 10 the
ground.
A baseball game was in progress a
short distance from the powder works
about 6 o'clock Sunday evening The
teams were playing the last innings
and when fire was seen in one of
the small buildings OF the powder
plant the crowd began to swarm up
the hill to get better view Of the
blaze. Warning Of the danger came
10 the on-lookers in two minor explo-
sions soon after the fire got well uli-
Ger way. A shower of sparks and fras
ylents OF the wrecked building fell
among, the spectators and there was
scurrying out OF what was consider
ed 8 danger zone.
Some men in the crowd, aware Of
the possibilities of the danger, when
the magazine was reached, pleaded
with the crowd to go still further
back and many of them needed the
warning. Others, apparently enjoy
ing the element Of danger in the spec
facle, stood within 1000 yards of the
burning buildings. They We're kept
en- the uui vivi by detonations that
sent showers of burning brands in all
directions.
Game Stopped
The baseball game broke up and the
rest Of the spectators and the players
rushed up to join the crowd at the
fire.
1t was then that the main magazine
exploded. There were two stunning
detonations. Everything within IA.
dius Of mile and a half was torn
and shattered. Giant trees were snap
ped off close to the earth: barns and
dwelling houses were converted into
kindling wood, and even In Ottawa
four miles from the scene. hundreds
Of plate glass windows were broken.
The scene where the crowd from
the ball field stood resembled bat
tlefield. Headless. armless and leg
less bodies were lying about among
scores Of unconscious forms. To The
few who retained flicker of con
sciousness 1t appeared as though over
n hundred had been killed. The 81
lence that followed the final death
dealing blast, was more terrifying
than the cries and means which came
with return TO consciousness of the
lady injured. The terrific SHOCK
brought thousands of terror-stricker
people into the streets of Hull. Some
thought it was an earthquake, while
others cried out that the comet hat
struck the earth. Hundreds Of chin
neys were toppled over and there Is
scarcely whole light of glass left II

The first call for aid from the hos
pltals and the police came from tht
section OF the city nearest the maya
