LIBERAL WAGES
PAID EMPLOYEES
Chairman of Interstate Commerce
Commission Says Railway Earn
ings Must Cover Items.

New York, Nov. 23.-Martin A.
Knapp, chairman of the Interstate
Commerce Commission delivered an
address last evening at the annual
dinner of the Railway Business assoc
iation. He said in part:
If our country is to grow and pros
per we mus have railway earnings
sufficient for three things:
First. A return on railway invest
|ments of such amount and so we'll as
|sured as to attract the necessary cap
ital to improve existing roads and con-
|struct thousands of miles of new lines
in fruitful districts now destitute of
any means of transportation. 1t is a
matter of common knowledge that the
output of traffic for the fiscal year
1907 exceeded our entire carrying ca
|pacity on land and water Since it is
our national policy-and long will be,
trust-to rely upon private capital
land private enterprise to provide these
great highways of commerce, must
we not in the larger public interest,
whatever may be thought by this or
that shipper, make the business of
furnishing railroad transportation so
desirable to the investor that the nee
essary funds for betterments and ex-
tensions will be forthcoming, and so
attractive as vocation that the high
est ability will be employed in it's
management? Otherwise, must not
out country come measurably to a
Istandstill and face a future of COM
parative stagnation?
Second The payment of liberal
wages to an adequate number of COM
petent men. This not only to insure
increasing skill and reliability, but
also because of the great influence of
railway wages upon compensation of
labor in private employment. The
fundamental social problem is to pro-
vide without radical action or injus-
tice, for a more equable diffusion of
the wealth which theh earth produces.
Third The betterment of existing
lines without unnecessary increase in
capitalization, Every dollar borrow
ed to improve a permanent addition to
the interest charge which the public
is required to pay; the improvement
from current earnings puts no lien
upon the property but by adding to the
security of the capital already invest
ed tends to a lower rate of interest
upon that capital This means a ma
tional policy in respect of railroad
rates and revenues in harmony with
our national policy in other matters,
and in accordance with that enlarging
spirit of altruism which impels the
present assumption of burdens that
might be escaped or deferred in order
that another generation may have an
easier task and a larger opportunity.
Is it not in this particular field a wise
and patriotic policy?

"a Stubborn Cinderella .

Chas A. Goettler's revision of the
$4,000 musical comedy, "A Stubborn
Cinderella" will be the attraction at
the Auditorium on Friday, November
25.
"a Stubborn Cinderella proved to
be the greatest musical comedy hit of
last season. All the dramatic critics
in New York, Chicago, Boston and
Philadelphia, where the attraction had
successful runs, were loud in their
praise of this production.
A large chorus, ranging in all sizes
from the pretty little ''broiler" to the
handsome show girl. is one of the fea-
lures. The consensus of opinion is
that there has been no production in
recent years that has had a more mag
nificent display of costumes than are
seen in "a Stubborn Cinderella"
The book is by Hough and Adams
and the music by Joseph +. Howard,
the authors of THE Time, the Place
and the Girl" and other successes,
The story is prettily told and has a
complete, connected and laughable
plot. There are twenty song numbers
many of which are decided hits.

BOTH ARE SILENT
ABOUT SHOOTING
Frank Dushane Dangerously Wounded
in Shooting ARRAY In the
Country Sunday.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily
AS a result of drunken row that
occurred last night about nine miles
west of town, Frank Dushane, a well
known Shawnee Indian is lying at his
home suffering from gun shot wounds,
which may prove fatal, and Bert
Doublehead, another Indian, is in Jail
here awaiting the outcome of Du-
shanes wounds. If the latter should
die a charge of murder will be lodged
against him instead of the one of as
|sault with intent to kill.
1t was impossible to get at the de-
tails of the shooting. 1t seems that a
party of Indians had gathered for a
Sunday spree and in some way Double
head and Dushane became entangled
in a quarrel and according to the Off
GERS, Daublehead grabbed a shot gun
and fired at Dushane. The shot took
effect in the left side and arm. The
physicians fear some of the shot
pierced Dushane's lung and may prove
fatal. Today, however, he is still alive
and may recover.
Sheriff Ridenhour was notified of
the shooting and hurried to the scene
and placed Doublehead under arrest
and brought him to the Jail here. When
questioned about the shooting neither
Dushane nor Doublehead would say
lanything.

London, England, Nov. 23-The
rioting of suffragettes, which began
yesterday with an assault on Premier
Asquith, continued throughout the
night Driven from one district as
many women as escaped would gather
at another point and renew the battle.
Advancing under cover of the fog at
2:30 this morning, a militant band
circumvented the police and storned
the Asquith residence They hurled
stones and metal weights at the house,
breaking the glass in all the lower
windows.

FIRE DESTROYS HOME OF
NEGRO FAMILY IN VINITA
From Wednesdays Daily

From Wednesdays Daily
Early today the home of John Allen,
colored, on North Vann street, was
destroyed by fire that originated from
a stove left burning in the house when
the children went to school. Both AL
len and his wife left home early this
morning and when the children start
ed to school they left the fire burning
in the stove, which became so heated
that the walls caught fire. When dis
covered the flames were breaking
through the roof, and although the
fire department responded promptly
to the alarm, and were able to extin-
guish the blaze before the house was
entirely destroyed, the damage was so
great that it is doubtful If the struc-
ture can be repaired.
The house was small and probably
the damage was not more than 5000,
but it fell heavily upon the colored
owner, as 1t is said there was no in
surance. Most of the household goods
were carried to safety by the neigh
bors.

McNeaI Seeks Another Plum.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 22.-Joseph w.
McNeal of Guthrie, erstwhile republi-
can candidate for governor, will likely
be an applicant for appointment as
United States marshal for the west
ern district in the event that John r.
Alternately loses his official head. 1t
is considered more or less probable
that Alternately may lose his job as the
result of charges filed against him and
recently investigated by the depart
ment of justice.
Cash Cade of Shawnee, republican
national committeeman from Oklaho-
ma, is also known to be after the mar
shalship and has the backing of Frank
Hitchcock. Should Cade fail to land,
it is understood that he will support
McNeal.
