Vice-PreSident Sherman
Is Nozv Reported Dying

sion here today over what methods
would be taken OF filling his place,
If necessary.
The general opinion expressed was
that the republican national COM
mittee Of the executive committee pos
sessed power to fill a vacancy upon
the ticket. No one here processes 70
know whether the Chicago convention
specifically provided for such an
emergency.
The report Of the 1908 convention
does not appear to show that sucn ,
provision was made then and tho
stenographic report of the convention
this year has not yet been printed.
Should a vacancy occur upon tho
republican ticket either before or
after election, some republican leaders
today argued the electors would have
power to vote for any candidate for
vice president they might choose.
Precedents were admitted to be lack.
ing, but It was declared only party
discipline and honor had in the past
bound electors to vote for their party
nominees No one suggested how
ever, that a choice by the republican
national committee or It's executive
committee would fail to receive the
support of the Taft electors.

BUCHAREST. Roumania. Oct. 2S.--
The cabinet has decided that the cir
cumatances do not warrant the mo-
billzation of the Roumanian army
The king. addressing the ministers,
declared. however, that the existing
grave conditions would impose upon
Roumania "the duty of arriving at i'm

The kings speech is interpreted as
indicating that In the event of Tur-
keys defeat, Roumanla would insist
upon being consulted In any re-distrl-

"Mr. Sherman has been sick all Of

of grave doubt. Members Of his

Unless the Powers Intervene, the

Europe.

LONDON, oct, 2S.--An interesting
question at the present moment is tho
whcrcabout Of the Turkish army, OF
which nothing definite is known. The
news that Eki-Baba has been taken
by tho Bulgarian cavalry apparently
without resistance, shows that Nazlm
Pashas army Is not where 1t wns
supposed to have been-on the limo
between Kulollburgas and LuleburgaH,
1t may be further west in the lire1-
ton of Domotica, but is Is generally
supposed It has retired from the line
from Demotica and Tchorlu.
Constantinople dispatches continue
to speak Of the readiness of the turk
ish army to take the offensive, I'm
any case, a few days must see some
thing decisive.
Bulgars Still Advance.
The victorious bulgarian army is
still advancing. 1t has occupied
Bunarhlssar and is marching towards
Kuleliburgas. 1t is reported that
Bulgarians have blown up bridge
over the Tchorilu river, showing that
the turning movement Is making
rapid progress.
Unless the Turks are able to taKo
the offensive vigorously. the present
indication Is that they will be driven
out OF Europe altogether, falling In
terferance by the Powers at the pres
ent stage to end the war, as happened
in the Russian campaigns aghns'
Turkey In 1928 and 1878. when Russia
had captured Arianople and was AZ
the gates of Constantinople.
There have been renewed activities
with regard to European Intervention
In the past few days and great diplo-
matte activity In London. The Turk

ference on Sunday at the French em-
bassy and an important conference
took place today at the British foreign
office between Sir Edward Grey, the

Cuts Down Expense.

Not only does the well system fur
nish a supply Of water. absolutely
healthful and clear and of sufficient
capacity to furnish every need of the
city, but the expense of operating tho
wells will be about half the present
expense OF securing the water from
tho Arkansas river and treating II.
Each one of the new wells is from
twenty to thirty feet deep. The wells
are cased with 44-inch concrete cas-
ing. The centrifugal wells are oper-
ated by centrifugal pumps. They are
arc all governed by switchboard In
a small building nearby one man
operates the whole system. II one
we'll goes down the others will run
independently or vice versa Whether
or not the flow OF water at the bottom
of the wells comes from the Arkansas
river or the hills not far distant is
Neither does it make any material diff
ference.
Each well Is expected to make be-
tween 100000 and 5000 gallons a
day. At this rate the four wells will
supply the 3,OOO.O 900 or 1000, 900 gal
Ions Of water that is used daily by the
city. A fifth well. now being drilled,
will be almost ready for service by the
time the flow line is completed. Loca-
tions have been made for five addi-
tional wells that will be drilled in due
time. These will be used In emerg-
ency cases. A standplpe Will also be
erected on the site Of the wells in the
near future. to supplement the stand

days ago concerning Joe Bakers room
at the Marschal, following the killing,

his room number was seventeen. She
swore that the bed In Bakers room
was not used on the Sunday and Mon
day nights after the killing
She was subjected to a cruel cross
examination, made all the more ludi-
crous by the fact that the witness was
suffering from q cold that retarded
her speech and made 1t necessary for
the court stenographer to read her
answers to the jury.

house the other day to see Mr.. Mar
schal about this room number and

o'clock yesterday afternoon. Almost
instantly a strong stream Of pure.

Big Test Today.
BY noon today all four of the wells
viii be ready for tho supreme test .
At 1 o'clock this afternoon the elec
triclty will be turned into the centri-
fugal pump at each well and the
water will be pumped out at the rate
of 500 gallons a minute. This test
Will continue necessarily, day and
night for several days. The test will
determine the exact amount of water
the wells are capable of producing,
every twenty-four hours. when In con-
tinuous service.
Tho general public Is expected to
visit the tests this afternoon. Experts
Will be on duty to explain to visitors
every phase of the new system.
Questions of every kind will be cheer
fully answered. There is not a tax
payer or water consumer in the city
of Tulsa who will not be benefited Or
made a more sincere Tulsa booster
after an inspection of these wells to-
day.
The wells are located on forty
acre tract of land, owned by the city,
and located about a half mile north of
the waterworks pumping station, on
the Arkansas river, at the extreme
western end Of Third street. Four
wells are completed. Work is pro-
crossing nicely on fifth. Everything
is in readiness to turn more than
100000 gallons of pure, healthful
water day into the city mains Tho
flow line that will carry the water
from the wells to the pumping sta
tion is half completed. The contrac-
tors say that 1t will be finished with

dent Collier perdicts that all Tulsa
will be using this splendid new well
water by November 10. When the
well water is switched into the mains
the pumps at the main pumping sta
ton that have been running these
many years will be shut down. The
intake pipe that has been sucking the
murky river water into the catch
basins will be idle. The chemical
plant, where tons of cement have
been used each week in a vain at
tempt to clarity the water, will be
turned over to the rats, But the
pumping station will at all times be
in readiness to be started up again on
minutes notice In the event that
anything should go wrong to the
wells.

CHRISTMAS SEALS POPULAR
Red Cross Seals, the Sale of Which
Is to Fight tuberculosis, Find
Ready Sale

That Aberdeen has at last taken
to the plan of helping fight the great
white plague, is evidenced by the
fact that although the season is early
hundreds of Red Cross Christmas
seals have been sold.
Only two Of the local drug stores
are supplied with the stamps, but it
is probable that the two concerns
will be able to furnish the demand.
While the present supply of stamps
is small. arrangements have been
made to secure more If necessary.
The money realized through the
sale of the stamps last year was put
to good service, and according to re-
ports from the state organization
hundreds of patients, suffering from
tuberculosis, were given comfort and
proper nourishment.
