The Fhllies have about everything eX-

stating last season they thought the
Phillies were the best club in the league.
Only a most unusual series of accidents

expect to be out OF the game. but there *
so much uncertainty about everything in
this world that every angle has to be
looked after. DOOM was out of the game

to the teams chances of finishing at or
near the top
So, it may be expected that Mr.. Charles
Doom will be seen in a Philadelphia uni
form next season.

AIRING OF TROUBLES

Manager Doom Writes Letter Brimful of
Stuff and Reminds Fogel of Salary, Two

PHILADELPHIA, December S.-There
is a good deal of hog wash n the airy
persitiage going on between President
Horace Fogel on one side and! Manager
Charles Doom on the other side. 1t
is very evident that M Doom has no
very warm desire to remain with the
under conditions that now exist, and it
can be CLEANED from Mr.. Fogels effu-
sions that he, as president of the club
is not overanXious to have Mr.. Doom
do that which he is not anxious to do.
But-there is always but or an if hang
ing around to stir up trouble
But Mr. Doom is a valuable asset-a
very valuable asset-of the philadelphia
club. and to part with that asset Mr..
Fogel. as a business man, wants TO get
all he can for it, or what he thinks the
asset is worth to him. On the other
hand Mr.. Doom has a tWu-year CON
tract with the Philadelphia club to fall
back on, and if perChance he should not
like the disposition made o. him by Mr..
fogel he, i'll his most recent written ut

1t may be that success has affected
both parties, for Fogcl is head at tne
Philadelphia club and Doom is manager
OF the team that has passed through the
most successful season, from both play
ing and financial standpoints, that the
club has experienced in number OF
years.
Since both Messrs. Fogel and Doom
are over the wash tub it would be an in
justice to every one not to print the let

MODERN INDUSTRY
ESTABLISHED HERE
Few People in vinita Know City Has
Only Plant of Kind in This Part
of the Country.

Do Vinita people realize that this
city has the only modern and up-to-
date cleaning and pressing establish
ment between Tulsa, Muskogee and
Kansas City? Well, that is just the
situation. G. P. Carroll has installed
the only modern cleaning and pressing
plant in this part of the country. OF
|course there are other so-called clean
ing plants, but there is only one truly
|up-to-date place in Vinita for cleaning
and pressing all kinds of clothing.
The art of cleaning and pressing
clothes may seem simple to those who
have given the matter no thought.
Few know that fine fabric may be
forever ruined by the pressure of an
over heated iron, or the shape of a
garment destroyed by pressing at the
hands of the inexperienced. To prop
erly clean clothes so that the fabric
care that only comes from the ex-
perienced. In our shop the man in
charge of the cleaning has spent years
of study in perfecting his trade and
knows how to clean the finest of fab
RIGS without injury. For this we have
installed a complete modern system
for dry cleaning. Clothes cleaned at
our shop will come back to you cleaned
and pressed in the right way.
For pressing clothes without the dan
ger we have installed steam pressing
machine. By automatic regulation this
machine cannot get hot enough to
burn for the heat is supplied by steam
and no hot iron comes in contact
with the cloth. By reason of the fact
that danger of burning the fabric is
eliminated, we are able to press the
garment to its proper shape and not
destroy it. Examine your fine woolen
garments pressed elsewhere and see if
you do not find spots where the fabric
is burned and convince you that our
claims are true. Why ruin expensive
clothing by having it done by some in
experienced person, when you can
have it done here with a guarantee,
that it will not be injured.
Call us by phone and we will be glad
to explain our plan more fully. We
call for and deliver your clothes.

SNAG STRUCK BY TARIFF
AGREEMENT WITH CANADA

Washington, d. c., Jan 2S.-A snag
began to loom in the pathway of the
Canadian reciprocity agreement before
it had been in the hands Of congress
twenty-four hours, and confident pre-
dictions Of failure are made by pillars
of the protective tariff faith. It is said
that even should the house accept that
terms of agreement (Which the repub-
lican high tariff advocates did not CON
cede for moment), 1t could not pass
the senate.
These prophesies were carried to
the White House yesterday by the
members who visited the president on
other business, but instead of Great
ing pessimistic feeling there, Pres
ident Taft is said to have received
them with smiles, which indicated that
one defeat would not turn him from
his purpose.
If his own party before surrender
ing control of the house of representa-
tives, fails to seize the opportunity
and credit of putting into operation,
a reciprocity trade pact, the president,
it is believed, will not hesitate to sub
NIT the program to the democrats per-
haps even in an extra session of the
new congress.
One man in the confidence of the
president who has been the admins
tration mouthpiece on more than one
occasion, came from the White House
last night with the declaration that
the proposed Canadian arrangement
would not die an easy death so long
as Taft is in the White House.
'The president was never more in
earnest in his life" said he. He in
tends to stay with it. through this ses-
sion and carry it to the next if neces-
sary. He would not hesitate to call
an extra session if he thought such
course would be necessary.
President Taft believes that the
mutual concessions arranged by the
United States and Canada, especially
a large number of articles of. food
stuffs which would be put on the free
list. promises a great humanitarian
movement that ultimately would mean
a material reduction in the cost of liv-
ing.

BEGIN DRILLING
FOR OIL MONDAY
Tulsa Producer Leases Craig County
Land And viii Drill Below
Artesian Water.

That Craig county will be the next
oil producing field to be opened is the
belief of C. M. Hardman, a wealthy
producer of Tulsa, who has leased
1850 acres just east of this city and
is preparing to begin operations at
once. If the drill outfit arrives in time
the first well will be started on next
Monday.
Most of the land leased by Mr.. Hard
man lies along Cabin Creek, near the
j. T, Brackett place.
Little is known of Mr.. Hardman's S
plans, but it is said that he has in
formed the lessees that he is confident
this county is underlaid with oil, and
that he will go to depth of 1900 or
1000 feet unless he strikes oil before
the drill reaches that depth. It seems
that he contemplates shutting off the
artesian water and in this way hopes
to prove that there is oil under this
land.
The exact location of the first well
is not known, as Mr. Hardman will
leave the selection of this site to the
manager of his drilling outfit.

ANT|-COMMISS|ON
BILL IS PASSED
Select Committee of House Recon-
mends New Agreement With Okla
homa City For Expenses.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 2S.-Deyelop-
ments came thick and fast in the state
capital situation Friday. After mild
|senations had been created by com.
mittee report in the house and new
bill offered in the senate, the upper
branch, after a long one-sided debate,
passed finally the bill by Senator W.
M. Franklin, of Madill, abolishing the
state capital commission and trans
ferring it's duties to the board of af.
fairs.
The vote was 29 to and on the
emergency clause, 80 to 6. The fol
lowing senators voted against the bill:
Anderson, Vandeventer, Landrum,
Memminger, Stewart, Bomas, Horton
and Graham. Senator Vandeventer
was most strenuous in his opposition
to the bill, declaring that the board
of affairs was now overloaded with
duties. Senator Guy P. Horton, of
Altus, charged the senate with break
ing faith with Ex-Governor Haskell in
passing the bill.
"You knew" said Horton, that the
governor would have vetoed the capi-
tai bill if the commission wasn't ere
ated and now after he is out of office
you break faith with him"
The select committee appointed by
the house to investigate the contract
between Haskell and the citizens cap
ital expense company reported that
the contract calling for $71, 200 incl
dental expense should be disregarded
ands new agreement drawn. The
expense company was to pay interest
on proposed $4,000 loan for the erec-
tion of temporary statehouse, which
the attorney general declared invalid.
The state was to loan the $4,000 from
the public building fund, this being a
condition of the incidental expense
contract.
Over in the senate at the same time
Senator Memminger introduced bill
appropriating $19,41O from the state
treasury to pay the expenses guaran-
teed by the Oklahoma City removal
and the deficiency from the old capital
commission.

Bill Introduced By Pauls Valley Senator Max
ing Oklahoma DiuOrce Laws More Stringent
Extends Period of Residence Required
Two Years--Requires That All Divorces
Must Be Granted in Open Court---
Attorney Must Appear in All
Cases.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 2S.-A bill max
ing a number of radical changes in
the present divorce laws of the state,
providing for two classes of legal sep
aration, and limiting the causes for
which absolute divorce may be grant
led, has been introduced in the senate
by Senator j. B. Thompson of Pauls
Valley, former chairman of the demo-
cratic state committee.
Senator Thompson asserts that the
present divorce laws are a disgrace to
the state because of their laxity and
he expressed the desire to make it
fully as hard to get divorce in Okla
homa as in any other state.
The period of residence in the state
required to get divorce is extended
to two years. Actual notice to the de-
fendant is required, constructive no.
tice being barred Star chamber di-
vorces are done away with by a re-
quirement that all divorces must be
granted in open court.
The two kinds of divorce provided
for in the bill are absolute divorce and
divorce from bed and board. The lat
The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1911-01-28

ter does not permit the remarriage of
either party Absolute divorce must
be granted by the court in its discre-
tion for the following causes: Aban-
|donment for one year without habitual
drunkenness for period of one year,
and gross neglect of duty. Where an
absolute divorce is granted the court
may prohibit the remarriage of either
party
A novel feature of the bill is that
notice Of each divorce case must be
served on the county attorney and he
must appear on behalf of the state and
oppose the divorce where it is not
fully warranted by the facts.
Where both parties appear to be
equally wrong the court may refuse
divorce but make provision for the
care and custody of the children.
Even an absolute divorce is not to
become effective for one year so far
as remarrying is concerned, and in
case an appeal is taken remarriage is
prohibited for six months after the
case is finally determined by the ap-
pellate court Violation of these pro-
visions constitutes bigamy
