LOSES DAMAGE SUIT
AGAINST THE KATY

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. 2.-Campbell
Russell lost his '$2,5OO damage suit
against the Katy railroad in the fed
eral court here Thursday. Judge
Campbell instructed the jury to bring
in a verdict in favor of the railway
company. Russell suffered his alleged
damage in 1906. but has been SO busy
on matters of state that the case never
came to trial until yesterday. Russell
alleged that he boarded the Katy Flyer
at Dallas armed with ticket to Che.
cotah. He was informed that the Katy
did not stop at Checotah and at Nc.
Alester he says, he was rudely elected
from that train after he had told the
conductor that the agent who sold him
the ticket told him the train stopped
at Checotah.

made the following statement:
I am not Robert Galbreaths cam.

am his ardent supporter in his can
didacy for democratic national com.
mitteeman. believe him to be a
splendid man for the position for the
following reasons:
He is loyal party worker, and has
always been; and he is liberal con-
tributor to campaign funds.
He entered the campaign after ur.
gent solicitations by many democrats
throughout the state and with assur-
ance from the friends of Tate Brady
that Mr. Brady would not be a candi-
date to succeed himself.
Mr.. Galbreath offered to submit
his candidacy to a county primary to
determine who should be the Tulsa
county candidate.
Mr.. Galbreath was and still is
strongly opposed to the seating of
James NJ Guffey as national commit.
teeman from Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Brady has repudiated the dem
ocratic principle of the primary, in
which all good democrats believe, and
voted in the national committee to
seat Guffey, who was earnestly oppos-
ed by William Jennings Bryan for we'll
known reasons"

THIRD DISTRICT
WILL ENTER FIGHT

dorsement For PriestIy For Ma
tional Committee.

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. Eight
hundred and seyenty-four delegates
the largest number ever assembled in
a congressional district convention in
the United States, will meet in Tulsa
on March fifth in response to the call
of William S. Cochran, chairman of
the Third Oklahoma congressional dis
trict, to elect delegates to the repubIi-
can national convention.
If Ed Perry thought that his call for
the Fourth district convention recent
ly held in Coalgate and the first to be
called in the United States, would
bring him fame, the same claim can
be made by Chairman Cochran, in
whose call it is proposed that for
every twenty-five electors who par
ticipated in the last election for a sec
retary of state there shall be one dele
gate to the congressional convention.
Furthermore, there are to be no alter
mates. Every delegate who finds him
self unable to attend the convention
must give his written proxy to a, re-
publican elector from his county, who
can hold but one proxy
If Perry had an idea that his conven-
tion was to be a Roosevelt conven-
tion," Cochran's Third district conven-
ton carries even better promise of
being one. And L. G, Disney, an ardent
Roosevelt supporter, although he has
stated he is out of politics, will exer-
else controlling influence in the con-
vention. Disney and Cochran have
been preparing the call for two days,
and for two weeks past Disney has
been in almost constant consultation
with prominent Roosevelt republicans
from all over the state, who look for

the convention and throughout the
state.

Exports of Manufactures From United
States, Calendar Year 1911.

More than billion dollars worth O.
manufactures passed out of continen
tai United States in the calendar yeal
1911. The estimate of the bureau OF
statistics of the Department of Com
meree and Labor made some weeks
ago, that the total value of manufac.
lures sent to foreign countries and
the non-contiguous territories of the
United States in 1911 would aggregate
more than one billion dollars. is Jus.
titled by figures just received by that
bureau showing in detail the foreign
commerce of the year They give as
the total value of manufactures sent
to foreign countries in the year end
ling December 81. 1911, $964,773 1868;
to Porto Rico, $21,S61,137; and to
Hawaii, $15,337, ,75S, making total of
s1,OO1, ,972,S63 as the value of manu-
factures passing out of continental
United States last year.
The figures of manufactures sent
out of the country last year include
both finished manufactures ready for
consumption and manufactures for fur
ther use in manufacturing. OF manu-
factures ready for use the total ex-
portation was $40 million, and of man
ufactures the product of one industry
to be used as materials in other indus.
tries, S25 million dollars.
Exports OF manufactures from the
United States have more than doubled
in ten years, and quintupled in twenty
years. In 1891 they aggregated 1870
million dollars; in 1901 447 million;
and in 1911, 964% million dollars, or.
1902 million if we include shipments
to Porto Rico and Hawaii. foreign
countries in 1891.
Four leading articles of domestic

The Growth of Electricity.

The elimination of waste is the
problem which every modern business
man is trying to solve. Man has learn
ed how to generate gigantic power by
the use of running water, steam and
gas, but much of it has hitherto gone
to waste on account of the difficulty
lof subdividing it. When only one or
two machines in a factory are in use.
ut is often necessary to expend enough
power to drive every machine in the
shop. Until the development of cleo
trio generators and motors it was i'm
possible to subdivide power, except by
the use of separate engines, which
made the cost prohibitory. Electricity
has proved that it can divide power
as can nothing else.
The rapid growth of the use of elec-
tricity is evidenced by the fact that
of the hundreds of thousands of stu
dents who have taken courses at the
international Correspondence School
at Scranton, Pa, 225,O7O have taken
courses in electrical engineering as
against l26,7SS who have taken
courses in mechanical engineering and
124,045 who have taken courses in
steam engineering The Electrical En-
gineers' Handbook published by that
institution points out that the indi-
vidual motor drive, under ordinary
working conditions, is more than three
times as efficient as the line shaft and
belt drive. It says:
: THE power required to drive the
line shafting and belts in factory
where the motive power is all in one
source is about equal to the power re-
luired to drive all the machines in the
shop at their maximum output; that
S, If all the tools working simultan-
sously at maximum output require 100
