INTEREST IN THE NEWS
FROM CONVENTION CITY
Thousands of Westinghouse
Inquire for the --latest
From Baltimore"

Hello: is this The Star? What's the
latest from BALTIMORE
II there was one man in Washington
who didn't ask this question at some time
during last night, II was because he asked
another Of similar import. or wasn't at
home.
The telephones in the editorial rooms
OF The Star were kept busy yesterday
afternoon and until late last night. and
ninety mine out of every one hundred
queries concerned the democratic national
convention. Men, women and not a few
children wanted to know the result of
each ballot of the deadlocked convention,
and not a minute passed without a call
for information.
Keep Track of Ballots.
Each little change in the balloting had
a meaning of it's own to the interrogators.
The intensity Of the local interest in the
outcome at Baltimore was amply testified
by the closeness with which the telephone
callers kept track of the voting. large
majority OF those who called up knowing
exactly how each candidate stood on the
previous ballot. \ change OF half a vote
in favor of or against either OF the can
didates was noticed and commented upon.
and The Star was kept busy telling the
anxious inquirers that 1t hadn't the slight
est idea who would be the nominee.
Crowds about the bulletin boards were
so dense as to interrupt traffic. and po-
licemen were compelled to open narrow
lanes through the throngs. so that pedes-
TRANS could pass along the sidewalks.
The curbs were lined with waiting auto
mobiles, whose owners were either inside
The Star Office seeking information or in
the crowds before the bulletin boards.
Flood of Inquiries.
Only worlds series or auadrennial
election ever attracted more general at
tention than did the fruitless balloting at
Baltimore, and significant feature of the
excitement was portrayed in innumerable
inquiries over the telephone in women
voices. Not until midnight was there
any cessa ton in the flood Of queries. and
at that time The Star had repeated the
words 'twenty-f1fth ballot and no NOM
ination. with Clark still in the lead" or
modification thereof, at least 10000 times.
Or so 1t seemed to the frail young man
at the telephone.

senate. The resolution must lie on the

ture on record before the national con-
vention in direct conflict with the Georgia
delegation.

The resolution approves the resolu-
ton introduced In the convention
Thursday night by William ]. Bryan re-
pudiating the alleged influence of the

was defeated, but it is expected to be
brought to vote Monday.

OYSTER BAY, y. Y, June 9.-"It is
just game of puss in the corner said
Col. Roosevelt tonight. when he heard OF
the days happenings in Baltimore. The
colonel had been picnicking all day. and
did not know what had been going on
until he returned. When he was told that
William j. Bryan had declared he would
not be a party to the nomination of a
candidate supported by Charles F. Muir
ply he laughed heartily.
1T is very funny he said. But of
course" he continued. lit is preposterous
to think of a convention in which Bryan
and Ryan are in good standing. Has any
body got any idea what that convention
is going to do?"
New Party Held Up.
Plans for the formation Of the new
party are still being held up to await de-
velopments at Baltimore.
II expected to be able to say something
definite day or two ago." said the col
onel but the Baltimore convention is
hanging on SO that We have been de-
layed.'
A report that Ormsby McHarg, who
managed Col. Roosevelts recent cam
paign in some Of the southern states, had
declined to join the new party was Meth
er affirmed nor denied, Col Roosevelt
saying that he had heard nothing of it.
William l.. Ward Of Westchester, he
said. had written him a mice letter ex-
planning why he did not wish to leave the

B uilding Forgan
First Business House to Be
Started This Month

The work of building the new
town of Forgan in Beaver county
will probably start this month.
Mr.. Harry Truax, who for sew
eral years has conducted hard
ware and implement business in
Hammond, Oklahoma, arrived in
Liberal the first of the week, and
drove to the grading camps with
Mr.. I. e. Alley Wednesday after
noon. Before leaving Liberal, Mr.
Truax figured with one of the
lumberyards here on bill of
lumber and other materials for a
business building which will cost
several thousand dollars. AT pres
ent the grading camps of I. G.
Alley are five miles east of the
townSite of Forgan.
The w. +. & N. has been push
ing its construction work since
the weather opened up, and now
has about twenty-five miles of its
line between Woodward and Sup
ply ready for the trains. The
equipment of engines, passenger
coaches etc. has been ordered, and
as soon as they arrive regular
train service on the first stretch of
the line this side of Woodward
will be in operation. At the pres
ent time, only the work trains
have been run over the line.
While no definite. information
has been given out by the officers
of the company, it is said that sew
eral owners of property near
Floris have been approached dur
ing the past two weeks, by agents
OF the w. f. u NJ, who desired
to buy section Of land. If this is
really the case, it would probably
mean that the railroad would be
built west and north to Liberal,
instead of north to Garden City
or Dodge City.

telephone systems are not a good
thing. and in order that the public
may fully understand my prop
ositlou, | purpose to put in an up
to-date switch board, sufficiently
large to accommodate all the people
in the City of Liberal, and sur
rounding country, and enough
better system than the present one
to justify all telephone users in
using my telephone, and at low
or price than the present system
is now charging aud they are now
before the Council with a petition
to raise the price.
| will also agree that if | do put
IN a system that will enable me to
start with at least 80 per cent of
the telephone users in the City of
Liberal, will not put in any; and
will give good and sufficient
bond to the City of Liberal for the
franchise asked for.

At the regular meeting of the
city council Tuesday evening, L.
W. Stevenson presented a state
ment of the business of the tele-
phone exchange here for the year
1911. He asked the council to
change the ordinance to permit
him to raise the rates for business
phones from $lS to $24 per year;
he residence phones from $l2 to
$l8 per year, and the party lines
TO $l2 per year. He says in his
petition that the maximum changes
under his franchise are too low to
justify the operation of the line
and to enable the owner to give
good service and maintain the lines
and at Che same time yield a rea-
sonable profit on the investment,
9. ID. Gasaway presented a petit
tiOn at the meeting of the City
J Council asking for a franchise for
a telephone system. He offers to
put in the phones at business
houses for SIS per year, and in
residences for Sl2 per year, and
$6 for party lines. He further
agrees that anyone may have Il
private line in any residence with
IN the corporate limits. For the
franchise he offers to pay the city
3 per cent of the gross earnings or
& per cent of the net earnings of
the system. A petition signed by
$50 residents of the city asking
that this franchise be allowed, was
presented TO the council.
A petition signed by 15 persons
who now have party lines, was
presented. The petition asks the
council to order the Telephone Ex
change to put in Individual lines
or reduce the rate 50 cents per
month.
This matter was referred to a
committee of the council composed
of councilmen Smith, Craig and
