Jay COUNTY SEAT
STRIFE IS ENDED
OLD JAY BECOMES COUNTY SEAT
BY NEW COMMISSIONERS WHO
OVERRULE COURTS DECISION.

Jay, Okla, Jan. 9.-With the install
lation of the new board of county COM
n.issioners of Delaware county the
county seat strife between Old and
New Jay terminated,
Complying with the district court
order, the commissioners and county
officials removed their offices to New
Jay. The commissioners then desig-
mated Old Jay county seat and moved
back without demonstration.
When the district court ordered the
)records of the county moved to New
Jay several weeks ago the citizens OF
Old Jay decided they would not stand
for the change. To show that they
meant what they said, they erected
Notifications about the town; 100 OF
them, armed, stood guard day and
night, and defied the sheriff or any
one else to carry out the order of the
court
Sheriff Thomason enlisted an adul-
tional force of deputies and resolved
to take the records by force. When
his men saw the determination of the
opposing town, they deserted Kim The
sheriff wasn't willing to tackle the
| taEk alone, so he asked Governor
Cruce to send state troops to compel
obeyance of the law.
The district judge also appealed TO
the governor, but Mr.. Cruce couldn't
agree with him. The adjutant general
of the state militia then went to re-
connoiter, and reported to the govern
or that conditions were pretty bad.
But the governor did not disturb the
mob. So what could the sheriff do
but say, "All right, boys. You VIM.

MAY SLEEP IN
P0TTER'S FIELD
SAD ENDING OF A MlS-SPENT
LIFE WIDOW DESTITUTE -
BABE CRIES FOR CHARITY.

"The wages~of sin is death"-exem-
plified in this city yesterday morn
ing when the assassin's bullet ended
a life of waywardness. Young-just
entering into the full flower of man
hood, the husband of a young AID
trusting girl wife-the father of an
innocent and prattling babe-the dead
man paid the debt he owed his folly
and with the setting Of todays srn
will, unless charity intervenes, sleep
the sleep of eternity in a paupers
grave.
Setting forth upon life's journey
this man was confronted with the two
pathways-the one leading through
the green pastures of usefulness to
end in time on the deathbed of 4
loved and loving husband, a fond
and cherished father, a good and re-
spected citizen--the other leading to
the death of violence, at the hand of
a fellow law violator, while life was
young. OF the two roads the unfor-
tunate young man chose the latter and
the wailing winds tonight will Giant
over his unmarked grave. Sow the
wind and reap the whirlwind.'
We have no desire to moralize. I
is neither our forte nor avocation 10
preach but the death of this young
man while the rosy threads of the
sun of life's morning were just begin
ming to weave golden beams across
the eastern sky, should cause othe,
yonug men whose feet are just begin
ming to hesitate along the road |hich
leads to ruin-to sin and a shameful
death to pause and consider well be =
fore taking the final downward
plunge.
There are but two roads through
life-there is no middle course. A
life of usefulness with "a peaceful end,
or life of mis-spent uselessness with

ering folds of crepe around the hearts
of wife and children. A life which.
with it's close, will leave the world
better because it has been lived, or
life which will cause the surviving
family to bow their heads in shame
as well as sorrcw-a life whose ev-
cry action will beget flower, whose
every moment will breathe a pertum
ing incense, or a life which will end
in blackness of despair and sink into
the abyss of utter oblivion.
Remember, as bread cast upon the
waters" will return a hundred ioid

misdeeds return ten times ten hun

Information given out by Brown
& Bridgman, undertakers having
charge of the body, states that the
remains of c. C. Stevenson, who
was shot and killed in this city
yesterday morning, will be buried
in the pauper graveyard here this
afternoon. A brother-in-law of the
dead man came in from Coalgate
and made an unsuccessful effort to
raise sufficient amount of money
to have the remains shipped to that
city for interment. A wire from his
parents at Bowie, Texas, states that
they are unable financially to put the
body away.

MEASURES BEFORE
THE LEGISLATURE
ROODlE OFFERS TWO BILLS
DEALING WITH CORPORATIONS
FRAMES STATUS.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 10.-The man
agements of public service corpora
tions which have viewed the Okla
homa constitution as radically exact
ing probably will find relief in two
measures offered in the senate today
by Senator Rodiie, wherein the cor
poration commission is to be vested
with authority to waive two alleSed
ouerous features. One bill amends
Sec 81 of the public service article,
requiring that before a railroad, tel
ephone, telegraph company or pipe
line may exercise the right of emf
nent domain it shall become a do
mestic corporation by adding to the
section authority for the commission
to waive the requirement. This por-
tion of the constitution may be
amended by the legislative enact
merit.
Senator Roidie's second bill make
similar application to Sec. 8 of Art.
TX, which prevents consolidation of
domestic and foreign corporations OF
public service character. The COM
missions authority to grant eXemp-
ton is embodied in short addi-
tion to the section, which is to be
submitted to vote of the people
at the next general election. This
will make the fourth time that Sec.
9 of Art. TX has been before the
people, the three previous times hav-
ing been for straight repeal and each
time defeated
Stringent measures for curbing
pernicious political activity on the
part of appointed state officials or
employees appeared in both houses,
Mr.. Smith of Pottawatomie county
offered a bill that forfeits the office
of any such official electioneering for
another person. Forfeiture of posi-
tion is also the penalty fixed in a
resolution by Senator Redwine, which
the senate unanimously adopted, for
any appointee of state institutions or
departments lobbying around the
legislature, unless they have been
invited to do SO by either the house
or senate.
The senate has fixed no time for
considering the confirmation of John
B. Doolin, state game and fish ward
en-, and Ben w. Riley, secretary of
the state election board. Lon Frame
chairman of the board of affairs,
who was believed to have been re-
jected by the senate Monday, is still
occupying the office, uAder the the
ory that a majority of a quorum
present confirms. A motion was
offered by Senator Carpenter today
asking the legal advisory committee
of the state to give an opinion on
how many votes it required to con-
firm. In the meantime State Auditor
Meyer has asked the attorney gen
eral for an opinion as to Frames
status, and whether the auditor can
legally continue to pay Frames
salary.

LINDSAY INDICATED.

Denver, Nov. 12.-After six weeks of
incessant searching for proofs and
many sessions given over to question
ing of witnesses, the committee APP
pointed by the Taxpayers association
to probe the record of Judge Lindsay,
of the juvenile court. has formulated
and signed a report which is a COM
plete vindication for the Judge Since
the judge published his famous book
based on the doings of venal political
characters in Colorado. he has been
the object of intermitten attacks from
sources in some instances that did not
appear on the surface. Through all
of these secret and open attacks the
Judge has been able to clearly demon
strate to the public that his work as
Judge of the juvenile court has not
only been in accordance with the law,
but has been of vast benefit to society
as a whole. The sociological work he
has and is performing has been the
means of interesting a large number
of other cities in adopting the policy
of Judge Lindsay in dealing with juve-
nile wrongdoers.

WANT STATE-MINED COAL.

Denver, Colo, Nov. S.-A conference
of representatives of organized labor
was recently held for the purpose of
initiating bill to be submitted to a
referendum vote, providing that the
state take over it's coal lands and op-
crate its own mines for the benefit of
all people. There are over 10000
acres of coal lands in Colorado be-
longing to the state, the profits of
which go to the public school fund.
1t is believed that if the people are
given an opportunity to vote upon a
measure of this character, it will be
adopted by an overwhelming majority.
Much interest is being taken in the
movement, which bids fair to deal the
unfair operators hard blow This is
one result of the present strike in the
coal fields brought on by the arbitrary
attitude of the coal operators.

AUGUST IMMIGRATION.

| Washington, Nov. 1.-THE record
of Southern Italian immigration to
this country is indeed marvellous
| While it is true that many of these
Southern Italians return to their ma
tive land after either short or long
periods in this country, yet number
less thousands remain here. For
many months the Southern Italians
have outsripped every other race in
point of numbers landing at American
ports. The record of the last ten
years ended June 80, 1913, of South
ern Italian immigration shows that
there have landed at American ports
1,S24,293. In order to show the full
Italian immigration there must be
added 354, 1898 Northern Italians to the
record of the last ten years, which
makes a grand total of Italian immi-
grafton during the period stated of
2,178,691. For the month of August,
1913, Southern Italians in point of
numbers outstripped all other nation
alities again, 27,554 being admitted
Next in point of numbers for August
comes the Hebrews, with 1909, close
ly followed by the Polish, with 1867
Germans, 1890; Crotians and Sloven-
ians, 6,174; English, 5,221; Russians,
5,0S6; Ruthenians, ABS; Northern
Italians, 4,20S; Lithuanians, 3.OS1;
Slovaks, 1911; Scandinavians, 1884;
Magyars, 2,74S; Irish, 2,545; the bal
ance being scattered between twenty
five other nationalities, usually record
ed by the bureau of immigration,
while a small number is listed under
"Other Peoples" Designated accord
! ing to occupations declared by those
landing during August, 99,9S9 were
farm laborers, 23,345 laborers, and 12,-
Il 57 as servants. OF those declaring
/ themselves as skilled workers there
were 3,456 tailors, 1918 carpenters and
joiners; clerks and accountants, 1903;
seamstresses and dressmakers, 2,247.
Other trades represented by much
smaller number The distribution of
these immigrants forms also another
interesting portion of this story, New
York being the recipient of the largest
number, 37,476 having gone to that
state, while Pennsylvania received the
second largest number, 2O,664. Then
comes Illinois with 1924 Ohio, 1880;
21S; Michigan, $3.50; Connecticut, B.
1856; the remaining number being scat
tered to the various states in the
Union. There were debarred during
the month under consideration 2,749,
the cause excluding the greatest num-
Der being that the immigrants so eX-
cluded were likely to become public
charges. Emigrant aliens leaving this
country for August reached 2S,242'
The total immigration for the month
was 1926, $50, showing an increase over
the immigration of August, 1912, OF
43,SO3.
