Owen a Busy Senator.

Washington, May 15.-One of the
most overworked men in congress
these days is Senator Owen of Okla
homa, who is chairman of the SEN
ate committee on banking and cur
rency is obliged to toll many hours
each DAY in formulating plans for
the proposed currency reform legs-
lation. On at least two instances he
has been forced to take to his bed
but he refuses to give up for more
than day or so at a time.
Senator Owen soon will begin .
series of hearings on currency prob
lens confronting the country at
which the big financial men of the
country will testify either orally or
by deposition.

COMP MPL|CAT|ONS
NEVER CEASE
HARRIS DAY CODE MAY DIS.
QUALIFY ALMOST EVERY JUS
TICE OF THE PEACE.

The city of Ardmore and the coun
| ty for that matter and several other
cities and counties in the state may
have no justices of the peace. II
they have not, just what will be
done with cases they are trying each
day no one seems to know.
An Ardmore attorney in discuss,
ing the question today said that
the Harris-Day code goes into effect
May 18th, which is today. This code
provides that all justices of the peace
shall be practicing attorneys. 1t
that is sustained by the courts, he
said, it will deprive all justices who
are not lawyers of their offices. Un-
der that provision. Mr.. Butcher Of
this city could not serve as JUS
tice. In the same code the law also
states that a justice shall be 6ected
for two years and without the priv
ilege of succeeding himself This
Part of the statute would be againS
Mr.. Cannon, the only other Justice
which Ardmore has. Mr.. Cannon has
license to practice law, he has prac-
ticed in the courts of this county,
but he was elected to succeed himself
and according to the new code 4
Justice cannot be reelected to Of
flee.
The county attorneys office was
sought TO ascertain what view was
taken Of the matter here, but Mr.
Bleakmore was in Oklahoma City
and Mr.. Hardy was too busily en-
gagged upon some other matters to
be interrupted at that time.

BETTER TREE PROTECTION.
Shade Tree Fancier Complains that
Delivery Horses Ruin Trees.

The appearance of Ardmore has
been changed for the better within
the last few years by the growth Of
trees along The Sidewalks In the resi-
dence section of the city. Home
owners are taking an active interest
in tree culture and some very beau
tiful streets fave been the result.
G street Southeast has few equals
for beauty in any city anywhere and
the beauty OF ,s,s street is largely
due to the shade trees that line it
from one end to the other Washing
ton street is another thoroughfare
whose appearance has been changed
by the growing or trees.
A Washington street property own
er was making complaint today that
trees in his section OF the city were
being ruined by delivery horses which
ire turned loose while the drivers
are gathering orders. The delivery
horse is hungry for something green
and he bites into the bark of the
tree, which scars II and impedes its
growth.

Taking Leases at Baum.

d. c. Sampley, who is here from
Baum serving as a juror in the dis
trict court, says a number OF parties
have been very active recently in tax
ing oil leases in the country east Of
Berwyn. A strip Of land four mile-
wide and seven miles in length ex-
tending from Berwyn east and pass
ing a mile and half south of Oil
Springs, is being covered with oil
leases. In such body of lari there
are from $1,000 to 10000 acres of
land and the people generally are
giving the leases, as the promoters
agree to sink test wells, beginning
at once. Mr. Sampley is of the opin-
ion that tests were abandoned near
Berwyn for the reason that many
leases near the test were being held
back by parties who were not auth
orized to turn them over to the com
pany doing the drilling.
There is much surface oil about Oi;
Springs, but whether that indicates
that oil will be found deeper is not
known.

CARTER A REFORMER.
Insists on More Reforms in Postoffice
Department.

Washington, May 15.-Flushed with
success in having proper modifica-
ton made on the Taft executive or
der which covered thousands OF
fourth class postmasters into the
civil service without competitive ex-
animation, members of the Oklahoma
delegation in congress are going
down the line seeking reform in every
branch.
1t seems that large number OF
postoffice clerks has also been COW
cred into the civil service without the
semblance of an examination and
Representative Carter has just taken
the question up with Postmaster
General Burleson, asking Shat clerks
be treated in the same manner as
fourth class postmasters.
Representative Carter has asked
that all postoffice clerkships filled
without examination be declared va
cant and the present incumbent be
required to submit to examination
along with all other applicants. 1t
is expected that Representative Car
ter will be ranking member on the
house committee on reform in the
civil service and through this posi-
tion will be able to push his fight to
the finish. He was the first one to
open warfare on the Taft order pro-
tecting the fourth class postmasters.

HIM.

Fort Worth, Texas, May 15.-Twc
men were killed, one Of them po-
liceman, and four others were Sc
riously wounded when Tom Lee, a
negro, ran amuck in the southwest
ern outskirts of the business section

When Lee was captured he was
conveyed to the county JAIL where
a strong guard was stationed At 8
o'clock tonight a mob of about 1000
men and boys gathered at the jail
and endeayored to obtain admittance.
About twenty-five deputy sheriffs and
policemen were then on guard. They
reported that the wounded negro had
been removed.
The mob did nC< believe this ami
a committee was admitted to search
the interior 1t reported that Lee
was not in the prison. This re-
port did not stop the clamor. Half a
dozen policemen and deputy sheriffs
stood guard on the high. steps leading
to the front entrance. The crowd
pressed these closely and demanded
the right to pass to the landing, half
q story above the street, where the
front door is located. The officers
pressed back those on the steps. One
man called for another committee to
search the Jail and received twenty
responses. The officers finally or
dered the man to get down off the
steps and he did so.
Then men slipped around to the
rear of the jail and began an at
tack on the door there with a bat
tering ram consisting of a piece of
heavy timber They had pounded
on the door about five minutes when
Sheriff Rea, from within, ordered
them to desist and threatened to-
open fire. This brought a defiant
response. Then a pistol was discharg
