He also said the appliances used to reverse

KILLED YOUNG GIRL

Anadarko. Okla, June 13.-Bennie Simmons, a negro IS years old, was taken from jail at Anadarko between and o'clock this morning by mob in which there were nearly a thous- and people and hanged to tree near the railroad bridge. The body was saturated with oil and then riddled with bullets.
 Simmons was charged with the murder of Susie Church. l6 years old. She was returning on horseback from Coger to her home in the country when she was pulled from the horse and outraged. Two hours later her parents found her dead body in a clump of bushes near the road, the throat cut from ear to ear.
 A plain trail led from the scene to the farm house where Simmons was employed and when arrested he had bloody knife in his pocket. His cloth ing was covered with blood, but he did not confess. The negro begged when the mob took him this morning but his pleadings were met with l jeers.
 When the sheriff heard that the mob I was coming from Coger to take the negro he removed him from the coun- ty jail to the old government prison. The news spread and when the negro was taken from jail fully a thousand people witnessed the lynching.

Print Paper Section is In- cluded By Finance Com
 mittee of the Senate.
RAISE THE VALUATION
Over HOuse-Aims at Canada Although That Country is Not Men.
 tiOned.

Washington, June 13.-The full ma-. jority membership of the Finance Committee today wrote into the tariff bill practically the exact text of the print paper section of the Canadian Reciprocity act passed by the last Congress. The House placed print paper valued at not more than 2 1-2 cents pound on the free list.
 The Senate Committee raised the valuation of free listed paper to not more than four cents pound, but provides that it may be imported free only from countries that impose ab- solutely no restrictions upon the ex- ports of paper or wood pulp used in it's manufacture. While Canada is not named in the bill, that is the coun- try at which the proviso is aimed.
 The substitute committee handling the administrative features of the bill spent all day trying to whip it into shape that would stand the test of the treasury experts. These sections more than any other indicate the lack of experience of the Democrats in framing tariff legislation. Finally the committee took the questions up with the experts of the treasury and prac- tically all the suggestions of Secretary McAdoo were adopted. These sections will be considered by the full commit tee tomorrow.

EDEN PARK SITE
 AGAIN SELECTED Holderness and Clark Sub- init New Proposition, Civ ing to City Sixty Acres. GOES TO THE COUNCIL Street Car Company Will Extend to
 Eden Park Later, is Belief
 Oi Committee.
GOES TO THE COUNCIL

The joint park committee held a meeting last night, heard the park proposition aired fully, discussed them from every angle and then for a second time voted unanimously to ac- cept the proposition of Dr. o. W. Clark and H. l. Holderness, to give sixty acres in Eden Park Addition, free of charge, to the city for pub lie park. The committee also unani- mously instructed Chairman w. B.. Sorrells to present the proposition of the Eden Park owners to the council at it's next meeting. that it might be accepted by the city.
 The attendance last night was not as large as the initial meeting of the joint park committee, but represen- tatives were there from the First Presbyterian Church, the Knights of Columbus, the Eagles, the Chamber of Commerce, the Odd Fellows, the Elks, the Knights of Pythias, the First Methodist church, the Woodmen of the World, the r. M. c. A., the City Beau tiful Club, the Central Trades Council and the City Council.
 Chairman w. B. Sorrells presided and Alderman Frank Franey was at his desk. Chairman Sorrells in open- ing the meeting explained that the purpose was to hear the reports of committees and take final action on the park proposition. He said that when the park matter was first dis cussed the council named park com mttee, composed of himself, Alder man Franey and Alderman Hut. Lat CT it was suggested that the commit tee from the City Beautiful Club, the Central Trades Council and Chamber Of Comerce be asked to cooperate with the aldermanic committee. It was further suggested that other com mittees, representing various bodies, religious, social fraternal and civic, be also invited to join with them in considering the park proposition. He said that no steam roller tactics, as charged, were resorted to at the first meeting of the committee, but if there was it was not in the chairman do- ing, but the committee itself.
 Chairman Sorrells declared that the city has no authority to sell any of its land. It can acquire it for streets and parks, but the law says plainly it cannot sell it.
 Referring back to the steam roll er' charge, Mir. Sorrells said that plenty of time had been given for the submission of bids and that the com mittee voted 34 to II to accept the Holderness-Clark proposition. He said it was unfair to creat the inn pression that there had been steam roller proceedings. Instead, he said the original committee invited many others to consider the park proposi- tons with it's members. He said he owns no land, has no inter est, except

to see the city get suitable park, and that his reasons in the matter were entirely unselfish. He ridiculed the charge that it was real estate mans proposition, declaring that if the com mittee was to be criticised for accept ing the Holderness-Clark offer, it park people have HOO acres of land and offer to give away 80 acres, while Holderness and Clark have only eighty acres and are willing to give away 35 acres. He asked which of the two propositions appeared to be the mon- ey-making plan.
 The Street Car Extension.
 w. F. Coleman, chairman of the street car committee, who was named to ascertain from President F. G. Bridges, of the Pine Bluff Company, if the car line would be extended to Eden Park, reported that he and his committee called on MT. Bridges last Monday. They were told by Mir. Bridges that he nor his company car ed to get into the park controversy; but that their line had already been doubled tracked from Second avenue and Main street to Eighth avenue and Cherry street, that they are planning to extend the double track to Thir- teenth avenue and they already have switch to Sixteenth avenue, with single track to Twenty-sixth avenue and Cherry street. He said MT. Bridges told his committee that there are ten blocks intervening between the end of the car line and Eden Park but that the street ran through and was well grade and that it would be the least expensive to extend their line in that direction than in any other section of the city. It was not the company's intention, MT. Bridges said, to double track on West Second ave- nue, "and he indicated to us," con- tinued Mr. Coleman, t'that the selec- ton of Eden Park for city park site was ideal insofar as the Pine Bluff Company was concerned" In two years, it was stated the company l would likely extend it's line in that ,di- rection, but he wanted nothing of this | character taken as certainty. MT. Coleman said that MT. Bridges men toned the unrighteous crusade being made against the street car company by city officials, but added that such sentiment would probably be righted l within short time. MT. Coleman said the committee went away fully con- vinced that the company would at some future time make the extension toward Eden Park and that the com
 mittee was well satisfied with MT. Bridges utterances.
 Meyer Solmson made a statement concerning his attitude on the park proposition. He also rendered his res- ignation as chairman of the committee to select soliciting committees.
 | H. l. HOldernesS and Dr. O. w.
 Clark both stated that they had be-
 come thoroughly disgusted with the
 charges made by the supporters of
 the Oakland park proposition and as-
 serted that if the committee desired
 they would withdraw their proposi- tion entirely and added that they had l CONTINUED ON PAGE FIvD

Klaus RusheS Fail
To Make Impression
On Clever McGoorty

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.--It was the old
case of the clever boxer against the
rough and ready fighter in the South
Side arena in Milwaukee last night.
and Eddie McGoorty. past master in
the niceties of the game, bested
Frank Klaus. about as rough and
tough a lot of lighting machinery as
one could find anywhere
The battle went the full 10 rounds,
and at the finish Eddie was quite the
chap with the whiphand
McGoorty fought as we never have
seen him fight before. Klaus made
him fight, but Eddie was willing. He
knew he had to make good, and he
battled viciously from the first bell
to the last He won the last three
rounds, which is proof enough that
he was the victor, for Klaus was ex-
pected to outfinish him When it is
considered that Klaus was some f1ve
pounds bigger than he, Eddie's show
ing is all the more meritorious.
McGoorty won the. battle with his
good Judgment and he kept hooking,
uppercutting and jabbing with his
left from start to finish. and gave
great exhibition of how to punch. He
caught Klaus time and time again on
the chin or squarely in the face with
lefts that whacked when they landed
Occasionally he measured the German
with solid rights.
