CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
IS MEETING At TULSA

Tulsa, Okla, Sept. 20.-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 f. Creager,
who is seeking a reelection on the
republican ticket. Davenport carried
the district by 1900 in 1907 and lost it
by 2,200 to Creager the following year
The democrats are hopeful of regain
ing the district this year as Creager is
likely to be opposed at the polls by a
considerable element of the insurgent
wing of the republican party who do
not approve of his subservience 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
the congressional campaign in the
Third district will be "hoss race"

CORPORATION COMMISSION
FIXES CITY GAS Rates

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 20.-The first
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 at
Gotebc after October l. The old rates
charged by the company were rs cents
per 1000 from 1000 to 5000 feet, so
cents per 1000 for from 5000 to 90
900 feet, with a 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 used up to
5000 feet and 80 cents for gas used
from 5000 to 10000 feet with 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 as the
city councils in many instances claim
the exclusive right to regulate rates
of gas and electric light companies
in Oklahoma.

STRONG FEELING OVER
MURDER OF WALTER WATSON

Muskogee, Okla, Sept. 20.-Follow-
ing the murder of Walter Watson, a
hunchbaek white drug clerk, Wednes-
day night and the statement of ne
gress that Thomas Fritz, negro
killed Watson by hitting him on the
back of the head with a stone, there
was considerable talk of violence to-
day, and Sheriff John Wisener, in or
der to protect Fritz, spirited him from
the county to the federal jail, where
he is being held.
Considerable excitement prevails
and yesterday citizens telephoned to
Governor Haskell who instructed the
sheriff to get in touch at once with
Captain w. A. Green of company F,
Oklahoma national guard. Green and
the sheriff held a conference this aft
ernoon and the militiaman declared
he could get his company together i'll
half hour. In order to quiet the pub
lie Fritz was taken quietly by the rear
door of the Jail to the court of justice
of the peace, arraigned, and his hear
ing set for next week.
Besides the confession of the negro
woman, the officers have strong evil
dence against Fritz, who had a pawn
ticket for Watsons watch in his pos
session when arrested. In his room
a pair of blood-stained trousers was
found. Fritz was decoyed into barn
by the Morgan woman and arrested.
Sadie King, a negress, also is being
held. Fritz's home is in Coffeyville,
Kans.

the agent some concern by inquiring
why it is not in sight. This order ac-
counts in a large degree for the diff

water is kept on hand, why trains arc
bulletined for the information of pas

Beautiful Vinita,
Flower of the West,
Her homes are ideal,
Her people the best.
And as place to live in,
She's first in the state.
She is clean and modern,
And quite up to date,
Her sons are manly,
Her daughters are fair.
And her Artesian Waters.
Bejewel the air.
In fair Craig County,
Vinita is Queen,
And no better country
Has ever been seen.
Drouths seldom blight her,
There's plenty of rain,
To grow her corn crops,
Her fruits and her grain.
Her crops are abundant,
And the soil is deep,
And her prairies abound
With cattle and sheep.
Her winters are moderate,
Her summers are dry,
And her climate is genial,
With a blue cloudless sky.
So beautiful Vinita,
Our people love best,
For beautiful Vinita,
Is Flower of the West.
