UNKNOWN PARTIES
ATTEMPT ROBBERY
BY A CLEVER RUSE
SUSPICIOUS DRIVER FOR ]. W.
SHARPER ILLUSTRATES
PLAN.
THOUGHT TO BE WHITE men
Call the Store and Ask That Grocer
les and Change Be Sent to Vacant
House After Dark and the Plan
Fails to Garry.

The prudence of Mat Stephenson,
the colored boy who drives the deliv-
cry wagon for J. w. Sharber, the gro
Ger at the corner of Ninth and Main
streets, perhaps saved himself from
a smuggling and his employer from the
loss of some groceries and money
also.
About o'clock Monday night Mr..
Sharber received a telephone mes
sage from party stating that his
name was Tudwell asking that some
flour, sugar and other things be sent
to his residence at the corner of
High and Tenth street, the house for
merly occupied by Mr. Worley, and
that change be sent for $40 in order
that the groceries might be paid for
on delivery, as the party had no
smaller change, further saying that if
no one was at home to just push the
kitchen door open and put the goods
on the inside.
Here is where the miscreant STUN
bled, after stating that he wanted to
pay for the groceries, to intimate that
he would not be at home, made the
grocer little dubious but he sent
the goods. On arrival at the place
the driver found the place dark with
apparently no one at home, and vent
to the back door and called. A man
jumped from the back porch and ran,
and he started back to the front On
arriving at the front door the door
was partially open and a man was on
the inside but he was already fright
ened and kept going to his wagon,
where found negro woman inform
ed him that no one lived in the house,
and he returned to the store with the
groceries and the change.
Investigation proved that no enc
lived in the house and that Mr..
had rented the place and
had just put down carpets preparato-
ry to moving in, and he found on
entering the place the next morning
that it had been broken into the night
previous.
The giving of fictitious name, en-
tering an empty house and calling for
change, all show very clearly the in
tention of the parties was to get a
chance to rob the negro driver, and
perhaps get away with the money
and groceries also, and it is thought
the calling Of the boy by the negro
to tell him that no one lived
here probably frightened the man
who went out the back way and so
frightened the driver that he refused
o continue his search further.
There is no clue who the parties
we're, but the boy says the man on
he inside of the building when he re-
urned to the front was white He
Doesn't know the color of the one I

TAFT ENEMY
 OF WARFARE
REvEREs MEMORY OF NATIONS HEROES BUT DEPLoREs
 ALL WARFARE.
Says True Heroism Will be Shown tn Forbearance and Arbitration of National Disputes in the
 Future.

Washington, D. C., May 3.-Under the shaded arches of the Arlington National Cemetery President Taft today spoke not so much as the friend of peace. but the enemy of war. Thousands of veterans tranlped tae hot asphalt of the capitol's streets, crossed the Potomac and trudged the dusty roads to Arlington te hear the President speak When Mir. Taft with Secretary of War Stira- son, came up to the vife-coyared am phitheater. there were fully 10000 crowded about the speakers stand It was probably the most mpressayo and most largely attended Memorial Day celebration Washington nas seen.
 Far be it from me-" the President said, ito minimize in any way I,y these suggestions the debt we iva to the men buried here who carried on the struggle that resulted ln tho abolition of the cancer of slavery. and which seemed ineraiicable save by such an awful slaughter of she bright. est and bravest and best of the m. tlon's youth and manaood.
 "The thought at which I would but hint this morning is that evrn in the hallowed presence of ihese de,td. whose ideals of patriotism and klve of their countrymen 1t nee led war to make it everlasting evident we sould abate no effort and should strain every nerve and avail our selves of every honorable possible de. vice to avoid war in the future.
 4 am not blind to tile aid in creat- ing sturdy manhood that the military discipline the regular army furnishes nor do l deny the incidental benefits that may grow out of the exigencles and seqnels of war. But when the books are balanced, bIie awful horrors of either internecine or international strife far outweigh the benefits That may be traced Io it.
 Let us leave this beautiful city of the national dedd, therefore. with the deepest gratitude to the men whose valorous deess We celebrate and wnose memories we rnefiSh, Wlth the tenderest appreciatIon r ths value of the examples they Set. but vita determination ln eyeay posst ble way consistent with hon4sty aad manly and nat ional selfrestraint to avoid the necessity for the display of that supreme sefsacrifIce that wo commemorate today in them.
 t was not so long ago, the PresI- dent said. when an insult by one man to another of the same social stand ing could only be wiped out In blood and it took more moral courage fs avoid duel tan to fight one. but we have progressed away from that idea
 If that be true now, way may it not be true in the near future of na- tens? Why will it not show more patriotism and more love of country to refuse to go to war for an insult and to submit to the arbitration Of peaceful tribunal than to subject whole people to the misery and saf- fering anl burden of heavy cost of national war, however gIossed over by the excitement and ambitions and glory of a successful conquest

CHRISTMAS EYE
FALLS ON SUNDAY.
EXERCISES At MOST OF THE
CHURCHES WILL THEREFORE,
BE HELD ON MONDAY.
Schools Close ON FRIDAY
More Charity WIN Probably BE Dis
pensed Locally Than Ever Be-
fore In the History OF Tulsa.

The usual Christmas services win
be held this year in practically every
church of Tulsa. Owing to the fact
that Christmas eve falls on Sunday
this year, most Of the churches have
deemed 1t advisable TO hold their ex-
ercises on Monday night. The Min
isterial alliance at a recent meeting
passed resolutions favoring the holc,
ing Of these services on Christmas
night, and as a result the various
Christmas trees and Old Santa will
no doubt appear in each Of the
churches at almost the same time.
The pupils In the city schools Will
be given only one weeks holiday this
year. superintendent Downing said
yesterday that this was the longest
possible period the various principals
thought should be given, owing to the
time already lost this season by quar-
aptine vacations, etc. The schools
will be dismissed on Friday, Dec. 22,
and appropriate exercises will be held
in all the rooms on that day. The
students Will not return to school un-
ii Monday January l. 1t will be
the first occasion in the history of
the city where the Christmas vacation
has not included New Years day.
There will probably be more char
ity dispensed in Tulsa this Christmas
than ever before as already extern
sive preparations are being made for
the feeding and otherwise caring Of

ton Of their exchequer.
The Salvation army will deviate
slightly from its usual custom and In
stead Of sending the poor families
their Christmas dinners on wagons,
an immense dinner for over 500 per-
sons will probably be given at some
downtown point at noon on Christ
mas day. Those who cannot attend
this spread will probably be sent din
ners at their homes.
The Christmas kettles will be placed
on the streets before long. thus giving

feed" for the poor, as well as the
monster Christmas tree celebration
fer the little tots. At this affair last
year over 500 poor children were
present, and each one received toy
and a plentiful supply of fruit, candy
and nuts.
The First Presbyterian church
choir is now rehearsing an elaborate
cantata which will be given at the
church on the Friday night preced-
ing Christmas, and will be repeated
on the following Sunday night, or
Christmas eve. The Sunday school
entertainment will be held Monday
evening, December 25.
The various Sunday school classes
Of the First Baptist church are pre-
pairing TO give away food, clothing and
presents to the poor and to hold exer-
cises as well.
A big Christmas celebration, with
a Christmas tree, presents of candy,
etc, will be held at the First Metho-
dist Episcopal church on Christmas
night.
At all OF the churches various ar
rangements are being made for the
annual entertainments.

CITY BONDS ARE
HELD To Be GOOD
NEGOTIATIONS WHICH HAVE
BEEN PENDING FOR SOME
TINE CLOSED YESTERDAY.
TO Decrease TAX LEVY
One Fourth of Issue of $2Si, 900 Due
In Five Years, and Per Cent
Yearly Thereafter.

Negotiations which have been pend
ing for several weeks were closed
yesterday, and the sale OF the city's
$284,000 municipal bond Issue, made
some time ago, was closed. The deal
has been hanging fire while bond ex-
perts in Chicago have been examid-
ing the legality of the issue. Tho
library site bonds were held Illegal,
but with that exception, the original
issue is held to be absolutely good,
according to advice received by Mayo
Martin yesterday. The Exchange Ma
tional bank of this city Is the pur-
chaser OF the bonds, its bid having
been considered the lowest at the time
the sale was made.
Twenty-Five per cent of the bonds
fall dae in five years, and per cent
each year thereafter until the twenty
year period has elapsed. At the end
of ten years, 40 per cent Of all the
bonds will have been paid. The in
terest on the bonds stops as soon ~
they are taken up.
This new arrangement will consid-
erably decrease the city's tax levies.
which in past have been extremely
heavy In order to pay the interest on
municipal bonds.
Mayor Martin will go to Chicago
the latter part OF the week TO sign
the necessary papers closing the
transaction for good.

CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
"Strap Hanger" Must Have Mistook
Others for "Boy Scouts.

"Strap Hanger" Must Have Mist0ok
Others for boy Scouts.
To the World
In your issue Of Wednesday, De-
comber 13, appears an article con-
trbuted by STRAP Hanger" charging
the Boy Scouts of Tulsa with lack
of polteness on the Sand Springs car
last Sunday evening.
Inasmuch as the article has been
cradle comment, and inasmuch as the
facts there stated happen to be false,
1 ask you to publish this answer to
the charge.
In the first place not a single one
of the troops of Boy Scouts of Tulsa
went to Sand Springs last Sunday.
The scouts never go on an outing or
hike without their Scout Master, and
| know Of my own knowledge that
none of the scout masters had their
troops on the Sand Springs car on
that day. Strap Hanger" refutes his
own story when he says that several
scouts sat "carressing their trusty
guns while the ladies stood up. The
Boy Scouts do not carry guns. Your
correspondent no doubt mistook some
other uniform for that of the boy
scouts. That he knows very little
about the scouts Is evident from his
letter. Pollteness is one of the first
principles of the scout law, which
every scout is bound to follow.
Very truly yours,
It. L. BUSCAREN
