Will! intent To Kill

In the case of the state Of Okla
homa vs. Mamie Ross, a jury in the
superior court found the defendant
guilty OF assault with intent to do
bodily harm, and left the penalty for

cution growing out OF an alteration
and a cutting scrape which occurred
at a negro road house run by Jack
Craig, on the 9TH day of September.
1912. The defendant, who Is negro
girl about the age of Is years, took
offense at the remarks Of the prose-
cutting witness, and proceeded TO pro-
duce a razor which she had on her
person, and inflicted n wound on the
prosecuting witness about nine inches
In length in the small Of the back,
which penetrated into the abdominal
cavatles OF the body, and but for the
unexceptlonally quick and skilful
medical treatment would have result
ted in death. The court will pass
sentence on the defendant tomorrow.

Furthermore, Tulsa's population is
rapidly increasing, the city is pre-
pairing to entertain some 100000 del
egates and visitors at the Dry Farm
ing Congress and other important
conventions this summer and fall and
conditions in the post office VIII be-
come more intolerable every month.
This condition has grown STEADILY
worse since the installation of the
parcel post on tho first of the year.
An investigation ,of present and
prospective buildings In Tulsa has
revealed the fact that 1t will be i'm
possible to secure IA room more suit
able than the present post office To-
cation during the coming year, This
renders It impossible to secure addl-
tional post office room outside of tho
contemplated federal building planned
for Tulsa.
Local architects and builders are

slderation of tho matter, that $780,
900 will build magnificent federal

care OF the demands of the city at
present and several years to come.
The building can be so constructed
that an addition can be built later
on without detracting from the ar
chitectural beauty Of the structure.
Everything considered, T u sa
should lose no more time in pushing
this matter to Its final conclusion.
The Oklahoma delegation and others
to be reckoned with at the National
Capital should be informed that Tul-
sa is satisfied with a S350,00O, If that
amount be appropriated for imme'
diate use, and in that way have the
Tulsa appropriation taken care Of
within the next thirty days.
The site for the new federal build
ing IS bought and paid for. 1t was
secured by the government two or
three years ago and there Is still
credit in the fund from which the
post office site was purchased. The
entire $3.50, 900 can therefore be spent
in the building alone. That is more
none ythan Is represented in any 9TH
er structure in the city Of Tulsa, eX-
cept the Hotel Tulsa. 1t is more than
100000 more than the new court
house cost, and that is one OF the

TARIFF REVISION At
THE EXTRA Session
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
SURE GENERAL PLAN Is
GOING THROUGH.

WASHINGTON. Jan. SO.-Demo-
cratic leaders in the house expressed
the view tonight that there would be
no difficulty in getting the ways and
means committee tariff revision plan
through the house at the coming eX-
ira session and said they did not an
ticlpate much trouble with 1t in the
senate. The majority of the commit
tee will begin framing the tentative
legislation next Monday and count on
the democratic house OF approving
its work substantially as the COM
mittee reports It,
SO far there has been no discus
sion Of any of the schedules as a
whole, though the general polio has
been indicated as to revising the rates
to a reasonably competitive basis,
with revenue raising and saving to
the consumer as primary factors.
The committee heard over so wit
nesses today and tonight on the sun
dries SCHEDULE, and tomorrow the
scene will shift to the free list. The
testimony on sundries ranged from
birds OF paradise to boots and shoes
and bituminous coal. The eXamina-
ton indicated the probability Of at
least a substantial reduction from the
present duties on boots and shoes and
In the opinion Of the majority Of the
leaders, transfer Of those articles
to the free list.

1t Is now said Chairman Underwood

could be done, to take off the tariff
entirely and to have the American
importer go in and beat the foreigner.

MORE WAR NOW FOR
THE balkan States
ARMISTICE Is AT AN END AND
NEXT STEP Is BOMBhRMENr
OF ADRIANOPLE.

LONDON, Jan. 30-The curtain
may rise on the second act of the
Balkan was next Monday. The allies
denounced the armistice at 200
o'clock tonight. and If events take
the prescribed course the lombard
ment of Adrlanople will be started
after an interval Of four days. Indeed,
the bombardment has been scheduled
for seven o'clock Monday evening.
Yet, even at this eleventh hour,
war Is in no wise assured. Only few
hours before the allies proclaimed
their momentous decision, the Otto
man government presented It's reply
to the Joint note Of the powers OF
January II.
Never has diplomatic problem
taken such changes as the negotla-
tions for peace.
Tho Thracean frontier line, with
the exception of the town Of Adrian
ople. practically has been agreed to,
as Turkey is ready to leave to the
powers the disposition of other ter
ritory. The question Of the Aegean
Islands also practically has been
solved, as the porte is disposed to
leave their settlement to the powers.
Or. Daneff, head Of the Bulgarian
delegation, said with reference to
Turkeys reply:
ut Is not Of a character to form
the basis for fresh negotiations" This
however, is simply public statement
possibly made to bear more pressure
on Constantinople. A majority OF the
allies apparently trust that a COM
promise will be reached.

TRENTON, n. j, Jan 3O-Presi-
dent Elect Wilson permitted himself
to be questioned at great length by
the correspondents today about the
makeup of his cabinet ana seeming
~ enjoyed the efforts that We're made
to get Information from him. The
governor, however, carefully avoided
any disclosures.
Asked whether any homes other
than that Of william j. Bryan had
been suggested for the secretaryship
Of state, Mr.. Wilson said:
About a half dozen"
To the inquiry as to whom these
might be, Mr.. Wilson reflected for
moment but replied that he could not
recall offhand, because some of these
individuals were grouped under lists
Of names suggested for other port
folios as well.
one correspondent asked Mr.. VIII
son if he intended to appoint to his
cabinet men of practical experience in
public affairs, or professional men
who had not been in politics,
Both sorts are under considera-
ton" he answered, and then added
with laugh:
But l am certainly not going ia
make up my cabinet Of college pro-
fessors."
The governor said he had decided
to follow the usual course of getting
acceptances first before announcing
pglya aI
whether he would make public tho
acceptances as they came to him, he
replied:
mo, because I'm really trying to
make up n team lie intimated
that a possible declinatlon Of a singg
portfolio might make It necessary to
re-dstribute the entire cabinet.
Except for the visit Of Representa-
tive Carter Glass, chairman of tho
house subcommittee on banking and
currency, the governor devoted the
day to New Jersey business.
Mr. Glass gave Mr.. Wilson an ac-
count of the progress Of the public
hearings before the banking and cur
rency committee
"Mr. Glass pleased me-" said the
governor, "by telling me that the at
titude OF the big bankers who ap-
peared before the committee was In
an attitude Of friendly cooperation"
While talking about banking re-
form the presldent-elect remarked
casually:

Saltwater Messenger: Judge Albert
Johnson Of Red Wing is a patriot. He
is trying hard to enforce a law passed
a couple of years ago that says rail-

for 2 cents a mile. No move on the
part of the companies has been made
to comply with the statute, and no
move has been made by the authorities
to enforce it until this action of Judge
Johnson has been brought. Wiscon-
sin, Iowa and Illinois have enforced
IA 2 cent rate. Why should the people
of Minnesota pay more?
