First Protestant
 Church Anniversary

Today is the seventy-seventh anni- versary of the founding of the first Protestant church in the Northwest. It was on June II. 1885. that there gathered in the barracks at Fort Smelling. Minn., a few men and wom- en, who organized a Presbyterian church. Major Gustavus Loom1s was largely instrumental in the forming of the congregation, of which the Rev. Thomas s. Williamson was the first preacher. The First Presbyterian church of Minneapolis was the out growth of the little church established at the pioneer military post.

CERTAIN TO BE TRIED.
Policeman Who Assaulted Little Girl
 Will Face Court.

New Haven, June 1.-The investf- gation sto establish the certain iden- tity of the policeman who criminally assaulted the 13-year-old Chestnut street girl was continued throughout the day yesterday. The guilty police man is still a member of the force but he is virtually known and sooner or later the game he is playing will fall of its own shAIlowness. There seems to be absolutely no question, according to the most reliable in formation, that the man will have to stand trial and most likely in the su- peripr court. It is known that those case are aware of the efforts being made to hush up witnesses and they will have to an- swer, also.

A GOOD GAS
SERVICE GIVEN
CITY GAS COMPANY INTERESTED
IN GIVING VALUE RECEIVED
FREE EXAMINATION.

The City Gas company, from the
time it was organized and began op-
Grating the distributing gas plant IN
Ardmore, has been very careful to IN
vestigate all complaints relating TO
unsatisfactory gas service, Imperfect
and wasteful heating or cooking ap'
pliances, apparent excessive bills and
or trouble of any kind
in connection with the use of gas. AS
an evidence of this we notified our
customers through the city papers
few weeks ago that we had employed
a gas appliance expert who would
examine and readjust, when neces-
sary. the cooking and heating stoves
without making any charge for the
same. Since then over three hundred
and fifty calls have been made. \
large number of those called upon
would not allow our representative
to examine their stoves as they were
under the impression that a cnarSe
would be made for the work and
portion of them, appar-
emily. continued TO hold this impress
sion after being assured by him that
the inspection and readjustment was
free and that the object of the com
pany in going to this expense, was
to give the gas consumers good and
service at the lowest pos
sible cost. For the above reasons
we have decided to make no further
except on request from the
consumer. We herewith ask all con-
sumers who are having any of the
troubles mentioned, to notify us and
we will promptly and cheerfully in
vestigate and make correction, If pos
sible to do so by adjustment, and II
not, will give proper advice relating
% necessary repairs or charges.
AThis free service will continue un-
Ill June !.

FREIGHT DEPOT
IS TOO SMALL
SANTA FE BUILDING MADE
oUATE TO HANDLE BUSINESS
AT THIS PlACT.

Railroads are great country deNeE
opers and town builders. This is pro-
ven by the rapid strides which Okla
homa is taking in progresslveness
and population and wealth since the
network of steel railroads spread out
from one confne to the other of her
boundaries. 1t is also fully proven
bv the rapid and substantial build
ing of Ardmore from a cross country
trading post a few years ago to the
place she now holds among the first
cities Of the state. But while the
railways have done great deal f
the upbuilding of the country, the
country has enabled the railway to
live. The one has helped the other and
the railway companies owe the
ferent towns and communities
through which they operate debts
which they are sometimes SLOW in
paying.
We have an instance of this here in
this city. Years ago when the total
freight business of this place did not
| exceed $4,000 a year the Santa Fe
railroad company built little frame
freight depot Now with a freight
business in Ardmore by this one road
, amounting to an average of $4,000
per month, both the Ardmore ship
per and consignee have to be content
with the same quarters as in the days
Of it's infancy.
The Santa Fe people owe 1t to Z
citizens, to the merchant and the p2
irons generally of this city to give
them a freight house of adequate siz"
and in proportion to the volume
business being done here.
Nothing speaks more for a town
than the volume of business being
done there by the railroads and moth
ing evidences this volume Of business
as concusively as the buildings used
by the companies in handling the
same.

AWFUL ACCIDENT YESTERDAY

While the "Kiltes Band were par
ading the streets of Sherman yester-
day a member of the band was al
most run down by a passing automo-
bile and in attempting TO get out OF
the way caught his kits in the ma
chine and was relieved of that neces-
sary part of his costume. The Kilt,
which is a short tartan skirt striking
the wearer Just above the knees, was
fastened around his waist by a single
strap which gave away freely and pre-
vented the bandsman from being
thrown down.
Other members of the 'Kifties'
formed themselves in a circle about
their companion. who was exposed
to the public gaze for several min
utes, and provided him with a tenn
porary skirt made of a Scotch shawl
There was a rush from the curious
crowd to the scene with the inten-
ton, il is thought, Of seeing for them
selves lust what a Scotchman does
wear under his kits. which would
settle the mystery once and for all,
Nothing was reported"
The "Kilties Band" will be here
Saturday, Matinee and Night and
will give parade at one o'clock. Mat

BUSY ON
COLONIZATION IDEA
ROCK ISLAND RAILWAY READY
TO HELP. THE LAND WILL FIND
THE FARMER.

Several days ago the Ardmoreite
published letter written by the I'M
migration agent of the Rock Island
Railway company to real estate
firm in this city making inquiries
about obtaining large body of land
near this city, the same to be divided
bv the company into small tracts
or parcels and sold out to homeseek-
ers.
Has anyone done anything In this
matter? The colonization project as set
forth in the letter mentioned is one
well worthy of consideration ana
if would not be a bad idea for the
commercial club and the Industrial
association of this city to act in con-
junction with the real estate men in
starting this ball to rolling and taking
initiatory steps toward procuring this
large BODY of land near Ardmore and
along the line of the proposed Rock
Island extension. Factories, retail
and Wholesale dealers, carpenters,
plumbers and what not are all good
things to pull for and get more OF
them here, but it would not be i'll ad-
vised TO take this matter up with
the railway people and try to get
more farmers here also. Buy this
body of land or get it in shape for
the railway people to buy, if none OF
the local concerns feel like handling
il. get a tract of from 5000 acres up
and sub-divide it into parcels of 40
acres, so acres and 100 acres each,
and put these parcels on the market
The railway people will do the rest
they will raise the colony necessa y
to purchase these farms. Get the
farmers. a few old fashioned practical
soil disturbers who will raise wheat
and corn as well as cotton. Get men
here who will devote their time, ener-
/ gies and labor to systematic diversl-
| fled farming and then little trouble
will be experienced in inducing manu-
featuring enterprises to come.
The Rock Island land department
means business in its movement to
buy a large body of land along its
line for colonization purposes, but it
/ might be well for the good people
of Ardmore and Carter county to re-
member that there are other towns
and other counties, along the line OF
this railway, in Oklahoma who have
Just as many inducements to offer as
has Carter county.
Why not keep this matter going?
The Rock Island land department has
started it and it is up to the business
men of Ardmore to see that it does
not die in the shell. Take a body
OF 5000 acres, for instance, and by
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1912-04-11

parceling it ont into l00-acre tracts
we would have homes for fifty farm
ers and their families Each one of
these farmers would market an an
nual acreage of crops produced to the
value Of say s400 right here; total
of $4,000 put in circulation each
year from this enterprise alone to say
nothing of other farmers who would
come as a follow up" to this enter
prise and the increased value which
would naturally result to our real es-
tate, both city and county.
This matter is we'll worth careful
consideration and We hope will re-
ceive the consideration it deserves.

INTERVENTION
STILL DENIED
BY PRES. TAFT

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
ELIZABETHPORT, N. j., May
27.-Assurance that the United
States will not intervene in Cuba
was cabled to President Comes by
President Taft, explaining that
the United States was sending
marines only to protect American
lives and property.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 27.
Despite President Gomez pro-
test against intervention and
Taft's assurance that America
would not intervene now, state
department officials here declared
that this will not affect the prep
arations to land an expedition on
the island if conditions do not
speedily improve.
Diplomats here believe that
Gomez protest was chiefly de-
signed to assure his followers
that his administration is capa-
BILE of crushing the negro upris-
ing. The fact that the Cuban
foreign minister thanked the
United States for sending mar
ines to Guantanamo to help sup
press the rebellion has lent color
to the belief that Gomez protest
is merely for political effect.
1t Is regarded as doubtful here
if Gomez will be able to restore
peace. American property in the
province of Oriente, worth $780,
900, 600, is at the mercy of the
negro rebels.
Sec. Knox is in charge Of the
Cuban situation here.
The third and fourth divisions
of the Atlantic fleet, with the
Washington as flagship, all under
the command of Rear Admiral
Hugo Osterhaus, are steaming to
Key West at about fifteen knots
speed. They will reach Key West

ed that instead OF 1t taking $35.-
