The business men Of Tulsa walked
4p last night. They know this morn
ing that agriculture, as well as-oil and
gas, has its place in the development
Of oklahoma. They know that the
permanent prosperity of this county
and of this city depends on the de-
vclopment OF its fertile soil.
They know that the Internal tio3al
Dry Farming Congress is big thing.
They know, too that Tulsa is to en-
tertan this fall the greatest crowd
of men and women ever assembled In
one place in oklahoma.
And they are glad for all of these
things, and are a unit in their de-
termination to leave nothing uudone
TO bring them to pass.
\ Grand success.
The city Builders dinner at the
Hotel Tulsa last night fulfilled all
promises. ii was the most important
: gathering of real business men ever
held in Tulsa. The spirit aroused
there last night means more for the
development of Tulsa, and oklahoma
as well than any other factor in the
city's history.
The first big thing was the attend
ance, the second of Importance was
tie men who were there. and the last,
bat by no means least, were the prac-
teal talks about farm development
which actually swept the staid and
sober business men of Tulsa from
their chairs to their feet in a wildly
cheering mass Of enthusi site boost
ers for their city and their state.
Two hundred men were Invited and
two hundred tickets sold. Three hun
drcd and more came. Applications
for tickets were refused at every hour
Of the day yesterday Last night.
when the crowd gathered in the big
main dining room Of the Hotel Tulsa,
more than fifty more men were turn
ed away simply because there was not
room.
The men who did get in were the
big men of Tulsa the men who have
already made their mark in the de-
velopment of this city.
Frisco Represented.
Though President Ben l.. Winchell
of the Frisco was prevented from
coming by an important business en-
gagement in st. Louis, the Frisco
system was well represented. Frank
Anderson. superintendent of develop
mcnt for the system, came as the per
sonal representative OF Mr.. Winchell,
and gave assurance that the Frisco
will surely do its full share in what
ever plans are adopted for the build
ing of Tulsa and its territory. With
him were Passenger Agent G. q.
Jackson of oklahoma City and other
representatives, of the line.
u. T. Connolly, former president Of
. the Tulsa Commercial club, was
greeted with loud applause when, as
toastmaster, he arose at the conclu-
sion of the sumptuous banquet to in
troduce the first speaker Of the evc-
ming His remarks. while brief, were
of the effervescent nature so well
known to all Tulsa city builders.
John r. Ramsey. city attorney
used a small space of time to excel

tingushed guests of the evening.
Asa f. Ramsey. Of MulSogee, vice
president Of the Oklahoma Bankers
association, was the next speaker. His
address dealt in with the relation OF
the banks to the farmers and the
manner in which he handled the sub
ject proved to the satisfaction OF ev-

Result.
Characterized by subsequent speak

Characterized by subsequent speak
ers as the greatest address that any
man in the audience ever listened to,
the talk, sermon, lecture or whatever
you might call 1t, made last night by
Colonel Henry EXall of Dallas, Tex,
president of the Texas industrial con
gress, at the city builders banquet at
the Hotel Tulsa, probably aroused
more enthusiasm and genuine spirit
than has ever been evidenced at any
gathering in this section.
The speech was remarkable from
many standpoints. While the sub
ject itself indicated something that
might be dry" to city people the
truths expounded by this modern
Moses of the agricultural world. struck
the heart of every listener. At the
conclusion of his hours address two
hundred men arose TO their feet,
clapped their hands, waved their nap
liins and handkerchiefs in the air,
cheered until they were hoarse ana
otherwise gave Colonel EXall what
was probably the greatest ovation ever
a
Tulsa.
Came From Kentucky.
Colonel Exall moved from Ken
lucky to Texas long ago. 1t was not
long until he had become the third
largest breeder of horses in the United
States. Then he took to farming and
his wonderful achievements in that
line led to his being selected head
Of the Texas Industrial Congress. He
has accomplished wonders and is now
one of the leading agriculturallsts OF
this country. He has delivered three
lectures in Madison Square Garden,
New York, and has been called to
nearly every state in the union teo de-
liver lectures on this all-important
topic. He is a born orator and Is
literally full Of facts and figures that
cause thinking men to pause. reflect
and wonder His talk last night
probably will do more toward INSTALL
ing in Tulsans a realization of tho
vast importance of the International
Dry Farming Congress and Exposition
to be held here next October, than
anything that has ever been said or
written.
Tulsa WILL"
Colonel EXall paid tribute 10 the
Tulsa spirit" when he declared at
the outset of his speech that the
bunch of men in front Of him could
do anything that is right and that
they would join hands to do.
Thousands of people in this coun-
try" he declared. will die of pesti-
lence and starvation unless something
is done to conserve the agricultural
resources. The population of oui
country has been fast Increasing
while the products Of the soil have
been decreasing. Ten million people
in the United states will go to bed
tonight. hungry. What shall we do
TO meet and conquer this frightful
condition?
Last year the Texas Industrial
congress gave $4,000 in gold as pre-
miums for better agricultural results.
There were no entrance fees or charg-
es of any kind in this contest. the
only condition precedent being that
the awards should not be contested.

(Staff Correspondent.)

OKLAHOMA CITY, March IA. -
Especial. By vote of % to II the
senate tonight finally passed the house
bin abOlishing the state game warden
and amending the present game
laws. The house bill was 50 changed
that it IS doubtful if the house will
agree to the senate amendments.
ont Of three attempts to pass bills
over the veto of Governor Cruce in
the senate today, only two were sue
cessfuL The Nandeventer . l-4-cent
passenger rate bill the bill to abolish
the state enforcement officer, and the
bill that seeks to have Warden Dick
of the pentcntiary removed all fail
ed to pass, as all three were cmerg-
ency measures, needing a three
fourths vote to pass them over the
veto, while the hospital bill. which
carried no emergency, only required a
tWO-thirds vote.
The debate was marked by many
vitriolic attacks on what the mem
bers charged was the usurpation of
power by Governor Cruce. The most
bitter Of this was the speech made By
Senator Nandeventer, which brought
forth prolonged applause from tho
floor and the galleries. IT was one OF
the best efforts made on the floor this
session, but the fight made by Senator
NandeVenter was losing one, as the
final vote stood % in favor Of the bill
and against it, with 33 votes requir-
ed TO pass IT.
Dutton Defends Cruce.
Senator Dutton republican, from
Usage county, who originally voted for
the bill. defended the governors ac-
ton i'm vctoing 1t and declared he was
surprised to hear the senator critl-
cize the governor so strongly. He has
the same power as the legislature and
| don't think we should stand here
and criticize him when he exercises
that power. | have full confidence In
the integrity Of the chief executive"
Senators Burford and IIarlin also
defended the governors position. while
Senators Mcintosh and Barrett favor
ed passing the bill. Senator Barrett
declared that neither the governor nor
the attorney general had done any
thing TO push along the two-cent rate
litigation. and he thought the senat-
ors were getting cold feet.
Then Things Warm Up.
After the vote was taken, Senator
Roddie moved to have Senator Van
deventers speec hprinted in the Jour
nal. and this brought forth instant OBJ
lection frem Harlan, who said he was
opposed to having the state stand the
expense of printing political docu-
ments for any one. Senator Edmon-
son said the Nan1eventer speech was
reflection on the state and the gov
ornor and should not be printed This
called forth hot reply from Roddie
who said.
The governor has charged that the
legislature Is afraid of the two-cent
litigation and that we are trying to
get away from IT, The people know
they will get no relief until change
Is made. The governors message is
