STATE UNIVERSITY NEWS.

Frank Long, '07, is one of the well
known grads who was back for COM
mencement week. Long is Y. NJ C. A.
secretary in the university of Louis
lana. He pressed his way through col
lege. That is he ran a cleaning and
pressing emporium in the student quar-
ter known as "The Rub" In the old
days it was a resort for football and
track men as Long was a member of
both the football and track teams. Big
Frank Long was universally known
and liked by the students, If stu
dent went broke Long was in the
habit of taking him in and giving him
a room free and work at the Rub
to earn his board until he got on his
feet again.
Bishop Theodore Payne Thurston
of the Episcopal diocese for eastern
Oklahoma delivered the baccalaureate
sermon at the university His address
was virile and won the large audi
ence from first to last. Among other
things he declared that the churches
of Oklahoma were making a great
mistake in lavishing money in build
ing and maintaining denominational
universities over the state. He said
such universities should be maintained
only for preparation for the ministry
and the bulk of the money should be
spent in supporting denominational
homes and clubs for the university
students near the campus at Norman.
His argument was that this plan
would strengthen the university, unity
and upbuild the educational system Of
the state and bring the proper religious
influences to the university where in
future years it would be most needed
and could do the greatest good,

The Frisco Prosnerous.

Officers Of the Frisco who have been
inspecting the lines during the past
two or three weeks are enthusiastic
over prospects. The road operates
through section of the southwest
that is thermometer for the entire
country. 1t covers districts that raise
everything from cotton to wheat.
In his weekly review on financial
conditions, John Moody says in part:
81 certainly believe that the Frisco
is about to enter upon better period
and that its various bond and stock
issues are cheap. About year ago
| issued a special letter on this prop
erty in which the superior operating
management of Mr. Winchell was full
ly demonstrated. Since that time the
road has gone through a very hard
year, and yet its earnings have held
up remarkably we'll and the physical
properties have been well maintained.
Another important consideration is
that the company has during the past
two years done very little new financ-
ing and its fixed charges have increas-
ed but slightly Thus, while certain
other roads in this section have been
steadily issuing bonds whenever the
market would take them, the Frisco
has been very conservative in this re-
gard.
The Brownsville division of the sys-
tenn is proving a good investment, and
in the course of the next few years,
believe it will add enormously to the
general earning power Of the system
All the improvement in the status Of
the Frisco System has taken place
since it was divorced from the Rock
Island.

PIPE LINES ARE
COMMON CARRIERS
oredred to File Schedules Of Rates
With Interstate Commerce Com
mission Before Sept. I.

Washington, June 13 The inter-
state commerce commission today held
the pipe line companies transporting
oil between the states are common car
riers with the obligations of such and
orders thirteen of the largest oil pipe
lines to file schedules of the interstate
commerce act.
The commission holds:
That the obligations of a common
carrier are impressed upon pipe line
engaged in the transportation of oil
in interstate commerce even though
such pipe line was built over its pri-
vately acquired right of way and trans
ports only its own oil.
That such traffic is not divested of
its interstate character by placing the
ownership of the pipe line in different
corporations in each state through
which the transportation passes, or by
transferring title to the oil to each
of such corporations as the oil enters
the pipes of that corporation.
That no state statue declaring pipe
lines to be common carries can be
effective, because if the federal act is
ineffective, similar statue of an in
diyidual state is of no avail
That pipe line is not common
carrier, merely because it utilizes the
right of way of common carrier rail
road.
The pipe lines against which the
commissions order is directed are:
Oklahoma Pipe Line company, Prai-
rie Oil and Gas company, Standard
Company of Louisiana, Ohio Oil COM
pany, Standard Oil company of New
Jersey; Tidewater Pipe company, Ltd.
Producers and Refiners Oil company,
Ltd, y. S. Pipe Line company, Pure
Oil Pipe company, National Pipe Line
company, Uncle Sam Oil company and

KANSAS OKLAHOMA
AND SOUTHWESTERN

We will be working out of here be-
fore the first Of the year. said sena-
tor s. NJ, Porter, promoter Of the
'Caney-Vinita railroad, who with a
party of engineers arrived in the city
last night to make drive over the
proposed route of the new railroad to
the southeast of this city. They left
Iearly this morning for Grand river to
choose between two places for the
location of the bridge One of these
places is near the mouth of Saline
creek and the other is ON the great
bend of the river just northwest Of
spavinaw postotfice.
Senator Porter said all of the legal
difficulties in which they were involv-
ed through the failure of the Carnegie
Trust company, were practically
Strengthened out and that no further
hitch in the building of the new road
lis anticipated 1t is the intention to
build the sixty-one mile stretch from
Caney, Kans., to Vinita first and Sen
ator Porter said trains would be run
ming over this division before another
twelve months has passed.
The name of the road has been
changed from the Cherryvale, Okla
homa and Gulf to the Kansas, Okla
homa & Southwestern. AS soon as the
line from Caney to Vinita is completed
the line southwest through Oklahoma
City to Texas will be pushed.
It is now the intention of the COM
pany to build into Vinita from the
west, entering the southwest portion
of the city, where the station will be
erected. This is the road Vinita has
looked forward to for many years. 1t
is the road that will open the country
to the northwest and southeast, which
is this city's best trade territory. It
is also the richest country in the en-
tire state

THE FIGHTING
HAS STARTED

Chicago. H., June 14.-Grant Victor
United States marshal from Muskogee,
L. G. Disney, Roosevelt adherent
from the same city, and Pat Dore of
Westyille came together head-on juts
outside of the door behind which the
republican national committee was
meeting this morning. 1t wasn't exact
ly fist fight. 1t was more of a storm
that blew away as quickly as it had
come. AS it hoyered for second over
head, however, it threatened to break
with cyclonic fury.
According to the best story that can
be gathered from eye witnesses, Grant
Victor struck Disney. He didn't
knock him down nor did he black his
eye. But he did hit him. Pat Dore,
always harmony advocate, waded
in and landed on Victor. Then on
lockers, detectives and police, rushed
between the men and dragged them
apart. No arrests were made.
The encounter grew out of the dis
cussion that followed the seating of
the Taft delegates from the Third Ok
lahoma district. The discussion that
went before also had something to do
with it.
In the committee room Frances j..
Heney, after the arguments in the
Third district contest had closed, had
asked that Victor. holding to proxy
of T. A. NARROW of Montana, be ex-
cluded from voting in tht case because
Of his personal interest The sugges-
tion was not put to vote, but Victor
retired with Former Senator Charles
Dick and other Taft attorneys.
Victor left the room making some
rather loud remarks about the Roose-
welt men. Disney, outside, was equal
ly emphatic in his statements. The
two men met face to face and told
each other what they thought of the
others actions and the case Then it
is that the fight began. Disney asserts
-that Victor struck him first. Disney
did not get a chance to strike back
because Pat Dore quickly took up his
cause. Ex-senator Dick then rushed
between the men and others followed
The encounter caused considerable
excitement at the time and the hotel
corridors tonight are buzzing with
stories of how it happened. Men to-
night have it that Victor knocked Dis
ney down and that both his eyes were
blackened.

ANOTHER RECORD BROKEN.
The Ruhe WeIch Musical Comedy
Company Sets Pace at Dome,


(What the McAlester News-Capital
has to say regarding the Rube Welch-
Kittie Francis Musical Comedy Com
pany)
Speaking about broken records,
there was another one last night. Jack
Bessey went away wearing laurels in
the theatrical world in McAlester but
Jack will have to hand them over to
Rube Welch and his talented partner,
Kittie Francis The dome was filled
from the footlights last night to the
street and from the bottom to the tops
of the trees adjoining. And that audi
ence yelled and laughed itself hoarse
and didn't want to go when the cur
tain fell for the last time. 1t had to
be told by the ushers that the show
was over.
The bill was a rollicking one with
lots of action, much music and many
specialties. Laughs followed laughs
in rapid succession for the lines are
of the brightest, the situations new
and extremely laugh provoking. The
music, much of it, is original and tune
full and will be caught up and heard on
the streets. The bill is called "a Royal
Reception, and it will be repeated to-
night and it will bear repeating The
attraction is every bit as good as many
of the $3.50 productions that have visit
ed McAlester
In personal mention Rube Welch
and Kittie Francis must come first
by right of ability WEIGH is come
dian Of a new and pleasing order and
his work is refreshing. His unexpect-
ed attacks are original and always
bring a laugh. He demonstrated his
ability to be serious as well as hilar-
ious when he rendered musical
poem. From the moment Kittie Fran
els bursts upon the stage until she
drops exhausted from beating a bass
drum she keeps her audience. in one
continuous peal of laughter. She is
one of the funny women performers
that have appeared before a McAles-
ter audience.
Other members of the company de-
serve special mention as top notchers.
Leola Lucey and w. H. Thompson are
especially good Miss Lucey possesses
an excellent voice. J. D. Elsden, Kath-
crime Dyre and Mae Coyle are other
principals that deserve mention.

NOT TO BRAe OR DECEIVE

Speaking Of the Kansas Agriculture
and Industrial Congress, the Kansas
Farmer says, editorially::s
1t has been decided that the pro-
gram will deal with policies and prinl
eiples relating to the various Kansas
farm conditions. 1t is certain that the
program will present a careful study
Of the facts and actual conditions
pertaining to agriculture in Kansas,
and with no attempt to brag and de-
ceiye. Aside from agriculture will be
discussed manufacturing, rural educa-
ton and rural life, rural cooperation,
marketing, public loans, and the rela-
ton Of various organizations to agri.
culture. It is certain that the above
presents not only a broad but a SCUM
policy. inasmuch as this Congress is
not held for the purpose Of booming
the state or inducing immigration to
Kansas"
