Bomb For the Defense.

Pauls statement that Henry said he
was sorry "he had done it," dropped
into the camp of the defense like a
abomb. The young mans testimony had
led gradually and dramatically up to
this climax, so unexpected and sur
prising that 1t brought gasp from the
crowd while the lawyers for the de-
Tense turned and looked at each other
with CONSERVATION in their eyes.

NO LEAGUE BASEBALL
FOR TULSA IN 1912
THE LOCAL FRANCHISE "SACK"
WILL PROBABLY NOT FIND
TAKERS VERY SOON.

Tulsa will not have league base
ball next year. The new Western As
sociation which is being planned does
not include this city for Tulsa has
failed dtsmally in the past while trav-
cling with the Western, and no one
cares to hold the local franchise
Sack again.
The present Twilight League, COM
posed of intor-city clubs, eight in
number, has proved big success all
season, and will be continued next
year, with even better prospects The
league has a snug sum in thepennant
fund, which will go to the pennant
winning team at tho end Of the sea-
son. which Is near, and besides that,
the individual clubs each possess a
nice amount received as their part OF
the gate receipts Of the various games
participated in.
From present Indications Tulsa will
have to wait until she is big enough
to get in a class G league before she
enters league baseball again.

TRANSFERRING OF PUPILS FROM
OVERCROWDEn ROOMS Is
BEGUN.

With a total enrolment exceeding
that OF the opening week of tho
schools last year. according to the
teachers, Tulsa schools are well start
ed upon their 1911-12 season. Pract-
ically every shool room in the city Is
taxed to its full capacity.
Yesterday the work Of transferring
students from over-crowded roms
to others where there is more room,
was begun and by the end of the week
the scholars will be distributed in
such n way that every available inch
Of space in all the buildings will have
been utilized. Last year the 141 stu
dents at the colored school were
counted in the city school enrolment,
while this year the tcolored school is
under the jurisdiction of the county
superintendent, and the enrolment
there is consequently not figured in,
in computing the city enrolment.
Everything is running smoothly"
said City Superintendent Downing
yesterday, "and we are all down to
real work. The school board Will
begin at once securing additional
quarters, as practically all the regular
buildings and the anneXes are filled
with students. We expect to have a
highly successful SCHOOL year"

Oklahoma City, Sept 13.-After a
hearing which has lasted since Mon

testimony in the compaint made be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission by the oklahoma City pack
ers regarding alleged discrimna-

until November /. Oral arguments
will be heard by the entire commits
sion in Washington on November s.
The most important witness heard
today was Stanley II. johnson, as
sistant traffic manager Of the Rock

for more than two hours. 1t was
announced that all of the other car
riers had agreed that Johnson's tes-
timOny should be considered as be-
mig introduced by them individually.
This arrangement saved several days

THE railroads have tried TO fix
rates that would be agreeable to all
parties concerned, but have failed
miserably. We are glad to have the
opportunity of washing our hands
Of the entire business and giving 1t
over to the commission to solve. We
have failed and l hope the commis-

WORK BEGINS JAN. |
ON LUTHERAN Church
PROPOSED BUILDING WILL BE OF
BRICK, SUBSTANTIAL AND
BEAUTIFUL.

1t was ANNOUNCED yesterday that
the work would begin January 1. on
tho new Lutheran Church ediflce at
the corner of Fifth street and Elwood
avenue. While the structure will not
be the largest church building In the
city, it will not be outclassed by any
similar ediflce In the state for ele-
gance of architecture.
John Kramer, country treasurer,
who Is at the head Of the building
committee of the Lutheran Church
stated yesterday that the proposed
building would be of brick and stone
and would be equally as substantial
and beautiful as any Of tho fine
church edifices here.
The Lutheran Church, under the
guidance of Rev. c. w. Siffered, has
grown phenominally here in the past
three years. and the need of per-
manent home for the church was new
er more apparent than at the present
time. The Lutheran Church viii es-
tablish a precedent In church build
ing here. by making their first church
building a thing of beauty and a 'Joy
forever" as all the other churches In
the city first used their own buildings
of frame structures, and most Of them
crude. The Lutheran Church has
never had It's own building here.
The site at Fifth and Elwood has
been owned by the church for some
time past.

JAN|TOR'S CRAFT IS
BRANDED As false
SALARY WAS FIXED BY BOARD
AND YOUNG'S EMPLOYEES
ARE SATISFIED.

1t seems that there was a great deal
Of misunderstanding and mistepre-
sentation in the article that appeared
in the Democrat, Tuesday evening In
regard to the janitor work in the
High School building. The board paid
look after the entire High School
building and the annex. In the early
part OF the year, Mr.. Young employ
cd Ernest Decker at SIS per month,
and Elmer Curran, at the same
amount, to help in the sweeping. Lat
er, when Elmer dropped out of school,
Ernest agreed to work for $40 per
month, and makes the following state
ment:
The graft that Mr.. Young is ac-
cused Of, which appeared in the DEM
ocrat, is absolutely false. The salary
that Mr.. Young paid me was entirely
satisfactory at that time"
Mr.. Young also provided a bed for
the boys at the High School building
so that they were out no money for
rooms, and was given the entire di-
rectln of the building and was held
responsible for its condition in every
way.
When j. G. Masters, former super
intcndent, was asked about the care
Of the building yesterday, he said:
81 remember the meeting at which
the salary for the work was fixed
and it was my impression that Mr.
Young was to be paid the entire sal
ary he being held responsible In ev-
cry way for the care of the build
ing, and hire his own help. This was
done, and when repairs or changes
We're needed, or any instructions or
suggestions were given, they We're al
ways given by Mr.. Young. 1t Is not
worth while to pay any attention to a
set of men who have been so COM
pletely discredted. Mr.. Young's
work was most efficient in every way,
and no one could In reason ask for
a better man or better work. He has
been at the building for five years
ard knows his work thoroughly, and
does 1t so well that have never heard
complaint"
