then learned that the ease against

that he had fed when none pursued

not want him and that for the last

NO IMMEDIATE
CHANGE IN POLICE
COMMISSIONER L. C. SLAUGHTER
WILL NOT APPOINT NEW CHIEF
FOR SOME DAYS.

There will be no immediate change
in the Ardmore police force. That
general change from chief down to
and including patrolmen will be made
by the end Of the current month,
there seems to be but little doubt
but for the present, for business and
other reasons the make up of this
department will remain as it is.
When seen by an Ardmoreite sep
resentative this morning. Louis c..
Slaughter, the newly elected police
commissioner, said that he had had
a long interview with Dow Braziel,
the present police chief, and told
him that his successor would not be
named for some days and that he
and his men would he expected to go
ahead and perform their duties as
police officers thoroughly and con-
scientously, until their successors
should be named.
The mayor informs me" said Mr..
Slaughter, that should the present
chief and his patrolmen be removed
at the present, they would have to
be paid Immediately and that there
are no funds available right now,
with which to meet these payments.
| shall investigate everything care
fully before taking any action. NO,
am not prepared to say right now
whom | will name as police chief,
but it is more than probable that the
appointee will be named and his name
submitted to the board of commits
sioners at the regular weekly meeting
next Tuesday night"

PIPE LINE OF RAILWAY.
From WHEELER Fields 20 Ardmore-
Survey May Call For Either.

Morris Sass transferred to the
Santa Fe railway company yesterday
body of land between one and two
acres lying Immediately adjacent to
the Santa Fe main line tracks and in
front of the Santa Fe or Kahn lake
This land will he used by the company
for the purpose of building thereon
large storage tank to be filled with
fuel oil taken from the oil fields of
Wheeler and vicinity. The oil will
probably be piped in from the fields,
but it is understood that the survey
which was made between the fields
and this city some two months or
more ago, established grades and
curves which viii admit of the com.
pany building a railroad in place Of
pipe line should it so desire. 1t has
been stated also, by certain men ac-
quainted in railway circles that it
is at least probable that in place Of
a pipe line this road will be built so
that the tank cars may be switched
to the fields and loaded directly from
the large storage tanks there, which
already contain over one hundred
thousand gallons of oil.
w. D. Hodges, vice president of the
Santa Fe system, who was in the city
aud represented the railway inter-
ests in closing the deal for the site
upon which the tanks are to be built,
is said to have been in consultation
with a number of officers and direct
ors Of the Commercial Club while
here and it is currently rumored that
the club has promised its support to
the railroad in the matter of procur-
Ing the right of way to all necessary
lands between Ardmore and the oil
fields.
The rumor which gained currency
that the oil would be brought to the
main line of the Santa Fe at Berwyn
seems to be without substantial foun-
dation and the closing of the deal
whereby the site for the tanks. ETC.
has been secured would indicate that
Ardnore is really the objective point
should either the pipe line or the
railway spur be built.
