ALL FORMER PRODUCTIONS

From Thursdays Daily.
Vinita threatre goers, for the first
time, last night had an opportunity to
see AL G. Fields Greater Minstrels,
and that Vinita appreciated this priv
ilege was evidenced by the fact that
every seat in the Auditorium was filled
and the S. r. o. sign was hung out
early
This minstrel was without an equal
on the Vinita stage and those who
failed to attend missed the greatest
Theatrical event of the season here
To attempt to pick out the better parts
of this minstrel would be impossible
for there was not a number on the
program, but would have been a feat
ure in itself The singing, comedy
dancing, acrobatics, scenic effects and
all blended into one grand splendid
event that will live long in the mem
ory of all present.

ELECTION CASE DEMURRERS
ARGUED BEFORE CAMPBELL

Muskogee, Okla, Mar. 16.-Demur-
rers to the indictments against the
fourteen election officers returned by
the last federal grand jury in Musko-
gee, were argued before Judge Camp
bell yesterday. The defendants are
represented by w. A. Ledbetter, Judge
G. B. Stewart, Norman Haskell and
Fred Branson.
The demurrers are based principal
ly on two grounds. First, that the
federal statute under which the in
dictments were brought does not pen
alize in these cases. Second, that the
amendment to the Oklahoma constitu-
tion, known as the grandfather clause,
is in full force and effect and is legal,
and therefore no statute could punish
the defendants for enforcing it.
These are cases that grew out of
the last election when certain ne
groes were refused the ballot because
they could not quality under the pro
visions of the grandfather clause. The
government charges a conspiracy to
prevent legal voters from voting.

DEPOTS MUST Be
KEPT SANITARY
Corporation Commission May Place In
spectors on Certain Eastern okla
homa Railroads.

Oklahoma City, Mar. 16.-That the
corporation commission may place in
spectors on certain railroads in east
ern Oklahoma for the purpose of COM
pelling the roads to keep their trains
and depots in a. more, sanitary condi-
tion, was the statement of Commits
sioner Henshaw Wednesday morning
when speaking in connection with the
complaint of W. II. Merchant, of Okla
homa City against the Frisco and
Rock Island for maintaining an unsan-
itary depot at Wister. Mer. Henshaw
said that referred particularly to the
Iron Mountain and Kansas City South
ern, from which complaints had been
frequent.
The case against the roads at Wis
ter was dismissed, but warning is
sued that the railroads must give more
attention to general conditions about
their depots in eastern Oklahoma In
dismissing the case it was declared
that the commission only required
courtesy from agents of the company
when such was accorded the agents by
the public, and that it did not believe
an agent, because he was railroad
employe, should be compelled to take
abuse from patrons which he would
resent as an individual
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas was
fined 500 on complaint of failing to
fine certain statistical information
with the corporation commission The
Rock Island was also fined 500 for
failure to promptly move car of plas-
ter at McAlester but the fine was sus-
pended pending prompt service to the
consignors in the future.
Bum agents can't work for the rail-
roads in Oklahoma, and the railroads
not suffer the consequence of their
acts" said Chairman Love in speaking
in connection with the case of A. f.
Fennimore, of Fargo, against the Santa
Fe. If they go to sleep on their jobs
and neglect to handle business prompt
ly, it's simply money out the pockets
of the railroads" The case was in
connection with station agent ne
glecting to secure a car for handling
shipment of freight.
When complaint is filed with
this commission it cant be withdrawn
~ tba will nf tba oomnIo;nnrv on
nounced Chairman Love, when it was
stated that C. W. Earn of Yukon had
withdrawn a complaint against the
Rock Island and Frisco. "If it's a VIC
lation of the law, then the complaint
ant can't dismiss the matter That's
up to the commission, and in the fn-
ture, cases will not be withdrawn az
the pleasure of the complainant.

sian army in the east because the
soldiers are dissatisfied with the food
provided them. dispatches also tell

States authorities at Calexico are in
vestigating the reports that the Mex
ican custom officials at Algodones yes
terday fired on the insurrectos from
the American side of the international
line. This, if proved, constitutes a
grave violation of the neutrality laws.
Washington, d. c., Mar. Formal
notice of the action of the Mexican
congress in carrying out Diaz's recon-
mendation of the suspension of con
stitutional guarantees, was received at
the Mexican embassy today. 1t is Civ
en- full publicity so that Americans,
who joint insurrectos, may know what
to expect. 1t is believed the action

probably will be tried by civil proceed
ure.
